Vala: *Resting a paw on her ball, rolling it back and forth out in the pak*

Airen: -Slowly peeks out of the back doggy door of the main building with a worried look on his face since he lost track of where Asphodel went-

Vala: *Ears perk right up, her body tensing when she thinks she hears something* ...Hello?

Airen: -Blinks and looks around for anyone near by- Um...Hello back?

Vala: *Hugs her ball close* Who are you?

Airen: Um.. -bites his lips- M-my name is Airen. Who are you? -Wiggles to slip through the doggy door and nearly stumbles and rolls, luckily he caught himself-

Vala: Airen? *Relaxes* It's uh me, Vala *Looks around for any sign of her brother, waving when she sees him*

Airen: -Smiles a little at the sight of his sister and waves back- Hello Vala. -Shyly trots over to her and eyes the ball- What are you doing here Vala?

Vala: I was just playing *Looks over the park* The atmosphere here reminds me of home, so I come here when I feel lonely. *Tilts her head* Do you live here Airen?

Airen: -Nods- I live here with uncle Asphodel. I was following him..but I lost him and was looking for him. But it looks like I found you instead.

Vala: *Wraps her tails around herself* Are you disappointed?

Airen: -Blinks and confusion and shakes his head- No, no. I'm happy to see you. It has been a long time since I have seen any of the others.

Vala: Really? I've seen Thor here a couple of times. Usually he looks like he's stalking someone... *Lightly bats the ball to her brother*

Airen: -Tilts his head in interest- Stalking someone? Do you have any idea who?

Vala: It looked like a pretty girl in a Japanese Kimono... at least I think that's what it is

Airen: A pretty girl? Huh. -Scratches his head- Why do you think he is stalking her? Maybe he is just bored.

Vala: I don't know. I'd ask him, but... well, you know Thor *Shrugs a little*

Airen: True, I don't think I would ask either. -Fidgets- I've always been kind of...scared of him really.

Vala: *Laughs a little* I can't blame you. Though, I like to think he'd never hurt us... on purpose anyways

Airen: Well I'm sure he can be non--scary too since he and Aire seem to get along. Plus, we have never been too close anyway, though I still care about him.

Vala: Maybe she just knows what buttons to push to calm him down *Paws at the grass* Though Mom always seemed able to do that too... *Sighs, missing having the whole family around*

Airen: Maybe. -Ears drop at the mention of Yarrow- I miss mama....

Vala: *Tilts her head* I've seen him here, a couple of times. He was looking for you and the others. *Paws at the grass* He never stays long though since he doesn't like being around the humans. In fact he was here earlier, until he tripped and got ice cream all over himself.

Airen: -Ears perk- Mama for looking for me? Maybe I should go visit him sometime then if he doesn't like being around here. Did you get a chance to talk to him?

Vala: Visiting them would probably be a good idea... I should probably do it too *Flicks an ear as a firefly lands on it* I spoke with mom a couple of times. He's nervous about his and dad's wedding *Frowns a little* And for some reason he's worried about getting fat.

Airen: Oh, right! -Tails wag- Their wedding is coming up soon. I guess he is worried since he doesn't want to look bag in his swim suit?

Vala: That's probably it *Frowns and tilts her head slightly* I can't even picture mom fat though

Airen: I can't either. I hope mom doesn't continue feeling that way.

Vala: I'm sure dad will talk him out of it *Looks up at the night sky* So, what's it like, spending so much time with Uncle Asphodel?

Airen: I hope so. -Smiles- It is alright. Sometimes I get confused with the stuff he does, and other times it is funny. I'm just happy he took me in. I don't like being alone...

Vala: I don't think anyone does... being alone I mean. *Smiles a little* Uncle Asphodel always seemed a little weird to me, but in a cool way

Airen: He is. -Ears flick as he looks around- Where are you staying Vala?

Vala: .... *Looks down at her ball and rocks it* Around

Airen: What do you mean by..around?

Vala: I wander around a lot, I don't really stay in any one place. Though, I do keep most of my stuff in this small cave by Thor and Aire

Airen: But..don't you want to find a place? I'm sure you can find one or at least someone to move in with.

Vala: I will want to settle down at some point, but for now, I'm enjoying the adventure of it all *Blushes a little as she stares at the ground* Like the brave explorers in movies

Airen: -Smiles- Well as long as you enjoy it, then I hope you can go on lots of adventures.

Vala: *Smiles back* Thank you Airen

Airen: You're welcome Vala. Maybe with the visit to mom and dad, we can go together if we run in to each other.

Vala: That'd be fun
