Czhichi smiled lightly as she pat Teisin's head. The tiger was due in the next week and the whole family was rather excited for the cubs (or kittens, as Tezza had been prone to calling them). It was a good thing they weren't due in the next few days, however, because the woman had some plans to take her daughter somewhere, and having to help deliver the babies might make them miss the start of event.
Cirque de la Lune, the place they resided, tended to have all sorts of workshops and special events on their premises. Sometimes they were for fun, sometimes for holidays, and sometimes for education. That day, there was to be a tribal style event set up that was both for educational purposes and for fun. It was to help local kids understand what life was like in a setting where they didn't have all of the same rules as in modern society or all of the perks of city living in a first world country.
The way the event was to work was they were to take a sort of trip to a more 'out-of-the-way' section of Cirque where for the next couple of days, they were to be part of a made up tribe for the area and go along with it's customs and all of that, and sort of learn to fend for themselves a little. It was to be a fun take on the usual camping idea, and they had actual cultural and tribal experts who'd be along who'd explain about real tribes and about how those differentiated from their silly mock tribe and all of that. This event was held yearly and generally a pretty big success the times it was held. Czhichi'd kept the fact that they were going a surprise from Tezza, and since the girl had been busy running off and trying to be independent a bunch recently, she hadn't gotten a chance to find out on her own.
Standing, the white furred woman went to look for her daughter. "Tezzzzza. Tezza, honey, where are you?" she called lightly.

" Nooo, Mac you have to wait till I saw so" the purple haired girl sighed and picked up another cheery from the basket holding it above her pet's head " You can't take it till I say." Training the mac'baht was proving far more difficult than the young girl was expecting. It seemed impossible to get him to wait for instructions when she put any form of food in front of him.
" Tiger mommy?" She recognized the voice of one of her mother's calling for her. The purple haired child was out on the lawn in front of the apartment, trying and failing rather badly at training her pet.

Czhichi poked her head out and sighed when she saw the girl. "Tezza, honey, come inside? We have somewhere to go today." she called.

The winged girl shook her head, braids flying back and forth almost dangerously as she did so. " I can't make hasn't learned to wait yet and yer not supposed to stop till they make progress" or so the dog training show she' d watched had told her earlier.
Mac noting the girl's distraction flicked out his tongue to snag the cherry currently held between Tezza's fingers.

"We can work on training another time, sweetie, and I'll help you. You aren't supposed to stop but we're on a time limit." the woman explained with a sigh.

" Kay" Tezza didn't like the sound of her tiger mommy sighing, well either of her mothers really. Right now she didn't like the one called Czhichi to sigh becuase she needed to be not stressed becuase she had to help Teisin have kittens soon and stress was bad when you had to focus. Thus she grabbed the basket of cherries in one hand and Mac in the other carrying them to the apartment. Cherries needed to go in the fridge and Mac wasn't allowed outside alone yet.
" Is she ready?" Rinali asked as she exited the hallway having just finished getting dressed in the bathroom after a shower. Technically Tezza belonged to Rinali, she was the one who'd signed the adoption papers for the girl's cabbage only a few months ago. Still, the orange haired woman shared parenting responsibilities with her lover and as far as both were concerned the girl was theirs. The seraph stretched and smiled over at Czhichi, this was going to be fun.

"No she's not, darling, I only just got her to come inside." Czhichi informed Rinali with a grin. "And shhh...remember, it's a surprise, so no telling her that you know it's somewhere fun. Just pretend we're going somewhere dull and boring."
When the little girl entered the house, Czhichi smiled. "Hon, Mac and Teisin will be staying with my friend Lucy for the next few days, okay? We are going to be going away to do something."

Rinali rolled her eyes, she didn't even know where they were going. Just that Czhichi had said it would be interesting.
" Okay but tell Lucy Mac likes spiders not grasshoppers and no watermelon." Tezza was thrilled with the idea of going somewhere, maybe there'd even be stuff to climb. She didn't like having to leave Mac behind but he was misbehaving anyways and maybe she'd think of new ways to make him listen while she was gone. " Where are we going?"
Rinali took the basket of cherries and headed to the kitchen to put them away leaving Czhichi to explain or keep the girl and herself in suspense.

Czhichi smiled. "That's a surprise. What I can tell you is that Zoe is going too and it's a surprise for her and her Daddy too, just like it is for you and your mother. So you will all find out there." the woman said with a fun smile. "Though one important word to both of you - leave all money and valuables here."

Zoe was coming too! It had to be somewhere fun then becuase Zoe didn't do boring things. " Do I hafta pack then and can you hold Mac?" The lizard bat hybrid was becoming rather squirmy and hard to hold.
Rinali reappeared from the kitchen an eyebrow raised wondering why they'd need to leave those behind but knowing Czhichi wasn't going to ruin the surprise and tell her.

The woman smiled and nodded, taking Mac from her daughter's hands. "And no, just put an extra change of clothes in a bag to take with you. You won't need them till the end but the ones you came in will probably need to be cleaned so just in case."

Tezza nodded and ran to go do just that. Rinali laughed and shook her head as she walked her go, the woman knew Czhichi had already packed for them so she had nothing to worry about. The angel ruffled and then resettled the feathers of her back wings which were still a bit damp from the shower. They stuck together if she didn't ruffle them a little during the drying process.
It only took a moment before purple haired girl raced back down the hallway with a bag filled with her extra clothes. She'd also changed the elastics at the end of her braids from her normal lavender ones that matched the ribbon in her wings to a bright yellow set that glowed in the dark. " I'm ready"

"Tezza, sweetie, if those are the glowy ones, leave them here, hon. I dont' want them getting lost." Czhichi informed her gently, "Then we can go."

Tezza sighed but trudged back to her room returning a moment later with normal bright pink elastics in her hair. She'd really wanted to show Zoe her new glow in the dark ones.

Czhichi pat their daughter's head. "I know you like them, sweetie, I just don't want you losing them and being upset." she explained. "We won't be able to keep our stuff with us during this trip, so don't bring anything you don't wanna lose." she explained.
