This was absolutely mortifying. Only just showing signs of early pregnancy, Adhara's father had taken her to go clothes shopping for her unborn child. She was a preteen, for God's sake! And all the women around looked like they were in their third trimester. Every single one of them was either trying to flirt with her dad -at least he had the common decency to let them down gently- or were giving her these looks, as though they knew that she was pregnant and thought she'd gone and done it on purpose.
Noah was busy looking through actually baby clothes, having already traumatized her with his armfuls of maternity wear. Finally, he looked pretty distracted, discussing random things with a man at the counter, and Adhara slowly and silently slipped away from him. From there, it was a straight-shot to the door, and from there, she was free. Her wings fluttered slightly, but she remembered at the last minute that she shouldn't lift herself off the ground. Smiling softly to herself, she glanced around, amber eyes catching on a... Petco? Huh. She hadn't been to a store like that in a while. Shrugging a bit, she didn't hesitate to walk right into it- she had her pager, after all; Noah would be fine on his own. One would think he was buying those things for himself.

Slythor, having saved enough money to buy a rabbit and all of its accessories, was in Petco himself. He already had a good-sized pen.He smiled softly as he chose a black bunny with dark eyes. He picked it up and introduced it to Blue. The rabbit didn't seem to mind even as the large predatory-like bird combed though its fur with his beak. He smiled and accepted, placing the rabbit in a temporary carrier cage provided by the staff. It was then that Adhara came in. He remembered her from the time at the aquarium.
"Hey! Adhara!" He raved at her and Blue launched himself at the girl, flying about her excitedly.

Adhara's eyes went wide, as though she thought that voice had come from one of Noah's friends, and she was going to get in trouble for being in here by herself. However, when she saw Slythor and that bird of his, she brightened quite a bit. She made a move to run over, but with the first few steps she took, she got very lightheaded, loosing her line of sight for a second. She chuckled to herself, stopping to shake her head and get rid of the feeling, before she approached Slythor at a better speed, smiling happily.
"Hi, Slythor! It's good to see you again after all this time," she said, chuckling softly and gesturing for him to give her a hug. Reena hung back reluctantly, whereas Niita outstretched to poke the boy in the belly curiously; obviously, the two didn't remember when they'd met him so long ago. "So what are you doing in here?"

Slythor, was happy to see Adhara after so long. He motioned to the well-mannered bunny in his portable cage. "I'm getting a new friend for Blue. There are lots of places where they don't like him there. I think they're just too stupid to realize Blue is more well mannered than most people." He chuckled and brought Blue back to his shoulder with a short whistle.
Blue puffed out his feathers proudly at the mention of how well mannered he was.
"So, Adhara, what're you doing here?"

Adhara giggled a bit, smiling at the bird before ducking down to peek into the little holes of the carry cage, before brightening at smiling at Slythor, himself. "You're getting Blue a pet rabbit?" she asked, laughing a the way that she phrased that, before smiling at the bird. "You should feel very lucky, pretty boy. Most birds don't get pet bunnies of their own, you know," she said, nodding sternly before reaching out a hand to gently pet the dragon-like bird's chest feathers softly.
She glanced over at Slythor when the question escaped his lips, before letting her hand fall back to her side, playing with Niita a little bit. She looked to the ground, biting one of her lips softly as a deep blush crossed her face. "Um... actually my, um, dad took me, uh, shopping... for... um... baby... clothes," she said quietly, voice getting tinier as she went on. She really didn't want to deal with the whole 'being pregnant' issue. As long as it wasn't obvious, why did she have to bring it up! "I kinda left the... clothes store. And I cam here instead, 'cause... I haven't been here for a while... I... guess."

Slythor looked momentarily surprised. Then again, she was a teenager. Some teenagers simply couldn't control their hormones. He could. It was simple. No one man, woman or beast was good enough for him yet. He was sure he would one day meet someone to fulfill his standards and settle down with them. Until then, he was content to simply live life peacefully with Blue. It was expected of the bird to lvie as long as he.
"Well, whatever. Congratulations. Who's the father?" He asked curiously. Adriel? No, he seemed much too shy for something like that. Duncan? No way. He thought to himself peacefully.

Adhara felt herself blush even brighter; honestly, she would have never pictured herself in this position and felt it even more uncomfortable to have to deal with it around friends. She didn't want this to last what felt like forever, but was only three months, which were apparently going to be horrifically painful, according to Vampy. Not excluding the possibility of her death in the process.
She darkened further, giggling a bit and hiding in her hands, before she peeked out once again, even the tips of her ears turning a bright shade of red. "Umm... A-Adriel's the father..." she said, whispering quietly from behind her hands and looking away.

Slythor was taken aback. The kid that was so shy when he last met him. Could Adriel have changed so much? Was it the medication he was on? Mayby that was why Chii and Fuu seemed to be so limp beforehand. Being tentacles of lust and all... So.. He wondered how well a father Adriel could be. Hm, he seemed kind enough, although he seemed like the stay at home dad and Adhara would seem mroe like the money getter.
He shrugged. "Well.. uhm... congratulations." He managed to stutter. It was certainly not his style to be stuttering like this. He was quick to straighten himself up. "So, have you planned any names?" He asked.

"I guess so... thanks, I mean," she said, correcting herself quickly. She wasn't really sure if she wanted to be congratulated; she wasn't really sure if she wanted to be having a baby at all, or what she was going to do when she did. She shuffled her feet a bit, Reena reaching up toward Blue, as if asking permission to pet him. Perhaps it was because she'd imagined that she would have met Slythor again under more... well, less awkward circumstances, that was making her so awkward as per usual. Or maybe it was just running into him that made things so odd.
"Well... I haven't thought of anything specific yet," she noted, chewing her lower lip thoughtfully. "I know that I want it to be similar to mine and Adriel's names to a point, but not as similar as ours are to each other..." she said slowly, before blinking a bit and flashing Slythor a sheepish smile. "That didn't really make sense, did it?"

Slythor nodded. "I understand totally. "He watched Blue peck the tentacle curiously, but allow it to pet him like the tolerant bird he was. He was proud to have such a smart bird, although he never found any need to talk.
"Well, you're here now. I heard they have some ferrets. Want to see them?" He asked, deciding to stray far from the subject for hope that Adhara would grow less awkward and more at ease with him.

Adhara chuckled softly. "That's good; I'm not sure that I would be able to explain it any other way," she commented, chuckling softly, already starting to loosen up a bit. After all, this was the first person she'd met since she'd gotten pregnant, so she was bound to be a little awkward, all things considered.
"Ferrets?" she asked, perking up a bit and smiling softly. "'Course I do!" she said happily, obviously either not noticing the topic change or completely ignoring it as she gestured for Slythor to lead the way before following beside him, Reena deciding to wrap leisurely around Slythor's wrist instead of petting Blue, too tired to reach up for very long nowadays.

Slythor smiled softly and led Adhara to the ferrets. One was eating, and another was chewing a ball. The last one was fast asleep. He smiled at the sight of the active ones. "They're quite cute." He smiled and poked his scaled finger in the cage only to have a ferret attempt to chew on it. He chuckled.
Blue looked at the tentacle around his friend's wrist curiously, pecking at it gently. He had always been curious about the tentacles many of his friends seemed to have and how they managed to move all on their own.

Adhara smiled at the adorable furry little animals, poking her finger in through the cage to gently pet one of the sleeping ones on the head, wings stretching out a bit, seemingly bothered by the recent lack of activity that they'd been experiencing.
"They are really cute," she noted, gaze shifting when Reena decided to tighten a bit possessively around Slythor's wrist at Blue's pecking. She frowned softly at the tentacle, before a closed off room caught her eye and she smiled suddenly. "Hey, what about the birds?" she questioned, pointing toward the room before smiling up at Blue. "Even though you do have the prettiest of them all," she stated matter-of-factly, not wanting the blue bird to feel neglected.

Slythor smiled at watching the girl to pet one of the sleepng ferrets. It didn't react to the gentle petting, but awoke abruptly when a playful one jumped on it. They then proceeded to run around the cage, bringing all the other ferrets in on the fun.
At the mention of birds, Blue let out a little squawk in offense as if she didn't care for the one right next to her, but when she mentioned about how pretty he was, he puffed up his feathers proudly and bobed his head in agreement to go see the birds less pretty than he.
Slythor laughed. "Ok then. Let's go see the birds." He walked over to the birds section happily.

Adhara giggled as the ferrets ran about, blinking up at Slythor when he agreed with her sentiment. When the bluebird puffed himself up at her compliment, she smiled happily and pet his breast feathers gently. He really was a pretty bird, albeit a bit strange in appearance. In actuality, since the last time that she'd seen him, he appeared to be turning into more of a dragon than a bird. But was it really a surprise given the fact that the animal had probably come from the Facility as well?
A gentle smile on her face, Adhara went with the other two to the little separated room that was full of caged birds in all sizes, from finches to Blue Macaws, all of them definitely pretty, but admittedly less pretty than Blue. She let one of the Rainbow Macaws nibble at her finger a bit, fluttering her wings slightly and sighing. "It's kinda sad that they have to all be kept in cages in a separate room, isn't it?" she noted peaceably, lacking in energy with the little parasite leech infant growing inside of her, and therefore much calmer in the long run. For now. "It's a pity they aren't as smart and well-behaved as you are, Blue. Then they could roam around and do as they pleased."
