Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nelee smiles, leading Ammy to where he last saw his parents and siblings, which seems so long ago now, back to the lake where he had first been adopted by Ken and Shikamaru. He hums happily to himself, tail swishing to and fro behind him, glancing over every now and then to see if Ammy was still with him and enjoying the journey. "You nervous at all?"

Ammy stuck close to Nelee. Not only was she slightly nervous about meeting Nelee's family, she was also a little nervous about leaving her familiar territory. She usually didn't wander too far from her normal area, and Ammy wasn't quite used to the area Nelee was taking her. Even so she also held some excitement, like this was a little mini adventure for her.

Hearing Nelee talk to her Ammy blushed slightly embaressed. "Is it that obvious?" Ammy questioned lightly. "I guess I am just a little nervous," Ammy stated softly as she looked around as well wondering what the other Kitsu's may think of her. Despite what one may think, she was actually fairly shy, especially in new environments.

Lee gave his son a huge grin, before patting his head. He was still kind of sweaty, but it didn't bother him. "Nelee! I have not seen you in awhile! You should really come visit more!" Peeking over, he noticed a girl not too far away. Chuckling Lee leaned in. "So, would this be the one you spend all your youthful nights with? I'm so proud of you!" He then leaped onto Nelee and nuzzled him like he did when Nelee was small.

Ren stepped back, giving them some space. He really didn't want to get too involved. He did, however, say "My, her fur is so pretty!" as he caught sight of the girl behind him. Ren was gay, so he obviously wasn't attracted to her, but he found her very good-looking. "I missed you, Nelee." He said once his dad and stopped talking. He rubbed his head playfully and smiled.

Ammy felt the soft nudge from Nelee and a sudden comfort washed over her. She smiled and nodded softly feeling a bit better with Nelee by her side. The female Kitsu couldn't help but giggle cutely as she watched Nelee race towards his family...tripping halfway down the hilltop in the process. "Hey...you alright Nelee?" Ammy asked as she hurried down the hill following the rolling ball of fur, though much more graceful and balanced then Nelee.

Even though she had followed in coming down the hill she did seem to stay a little bit away at first as if unsure if she could come closer or not. Many Kits could be territorial after all, though she doubted Nelee's family would be that way. Even so it took her a while before she gained enough courage to approach the group. Sticking close to Nelee she gave a gentle smile to both the other Kitsutoras. "Hello..." Ammy stated softly bowing her head a little her tail swishing nervously behind her.

Nelee chuckles at his father's natural response to celebrate the youthfulness of life. He casts a quick glance at Ammy, checking on her to see what she thought of this display so far. "It wasn't rude, father. It's just how you are." He smiles again before flicking his tail. "It does take some getting used to for those that are not use to so much energy, but it definitely isn't rude." He leans over slightly, nudging Ammy again gently. "I was trying to find something to do earlier to express my own 'youthfulness' and couldn't think of anything when Ammy introduced herself to me." He chuckles again, thinking of that particular race down a hill that had ended differently from this more current one. "I'm not as disciplined as you or our other father, sadly. Meditating brought me no peace today and I couldn't figure anything to do on my own. I'm also not as... graceful... as the rest of my family is." He chuckles again, watching his brother talk with Ammy.

Neji wandered aimlessly through the grass, his son following after him. Nel gazed around them at the scenery, occasionally pouncing on a rustling dry leaf or a small rock. He chuckled to himself, watching in amusement. He couldn't help but think that Nel had Lee's energy. "Nel." His ears pricked, listening intently. "I can hear Nelee, Ren and Lee up ahead. Would you like to go and see them?"

Nel looked up at his father from his 'pouncing' position. He pricked his own ears to see if he could hear his family. A huge grin spread across his face as he heard the distant voices. "Yes, I would very much like to see them!" He practically bounced on the spot with excitement for a minute, before streaking off in the direction the voices were coming from. "I will race you!"

Lee chuckled, happy for his son. He seemed to have grown up so fast! A few tears came to his eyes as he hugged Nelee and Ammy tightly. "You two have a beautiful friendship! Always be there for each other, for it is our friends and family that help to keep us youthful!" He let them go, realizing he was hugging them too hard. He looked at the sheepishly and apologized.

Ren smiled, happy his brother had found someone. Looked at Nelee he though for a moment. "Hm. I don't..." Just as he was about to finish his sentence, he spotted them in the distance. "Actually, they're right over there!" He smiled and made a notion with his head in the direction they were in.

Neji sighed. Nel was sometimes TOO energetic. "I'll meet you there!" He called after his son, deciding to just walk at his own pace. Preoccupied in his own thoughts as he walked along, he tripped over a small rock. "ouch..." He grumbled, shifting his gaze around to make sure he hadn't been seen. "Damn rock." He got up, kicked the rock out of the way and continued to walk the small distance between himself and his family.

Nel bolted towards the voices. They got closer by the second. "Hello everybod-!" He yelled out loudly to announce his arrival, but was cut off when he ran headfirst into someone who was definitely NOT his family. He gazed up at her for a second, admiring the patterns and colors of her fur and wondering who she could possibly be before his face split into a huge grin. "Hello! I am Nel, what is your name?"
