Kyr peeks in.
Navi looked around before walking right in. "It's empty. Moom, come one let's go do something."
Kyr rolls her eyes and stands next to her short daughter. "We are doing something." The girl was trying her patience.

Nova:*is dragged out of the den by Nyrna* .. Nyrna slow down please, i'm not getting any younger
Nyrna: DAD! .. come one will you, i swear you're going to get senile.
Charmaine Kitteridge
Navi's ears twitch as she catches Nyma's voice in the wind. With a mischievous grin she slinks to the ground and through a bush waiting to see her sister. With a toothy grin she wiggles and pounces on Nyma.
Kyr's ears lowered as Navi stalked off into the bushes. With a sigh she went to follow only to reach for Navi's tail right as the girl launched herself at her sister. With a reprimand on her maw she stopped with her jaw open as she focused on Nova. Then with a joyous sound she pounced on him, an almost copy of what her daughter had done to her sister. "Nova!!"
Revel1984
Nyrna and Nova: *OOOF* .. JOY!!! ... Hehe, Hi there!
Charmaine Kitteridge
"how goes it Sis? Life been interesting for you?" She calmly sits next to Nyrna.
"It's so good to see you! How are you?" Realizing she was still tangled with him she untangled herself and stepped back. "y,you look g,good." Now she was clearly feeling awkward and unsure of herself, after all they hadn't seen each other in a while and perhaps he'd moved on.
Revel1984
Nyrna: *smiles and nudges her sister* .. With dad? .. mostly getting him out of trouble *whispers* he's been a wreck since....the split.
Nova: *cant meet Kyr's eyes* It's g...g....g....good to s...s...s.....s...see you to Kyr *hangs head* You l..l...l....look great as ....always *curls tightly into himself*
Charmaine Kitteridge
"Dad in trouble? yea right, more like tripping over his feet. Gosh it's good to see him." Nudges her sister back a little harder. "Mom hasn't been much better."
Kyr frowns hating how awkward everything is but having Nova curl away from her causes her to assume that she was right and he has moved on. "Th,thanks." Her paws can't seem to stay still as she ponders nervously what to say next. "H,how have y,you been?" She desperately wants to tell him that she's missed him but if he's moved on she didn't want to interfere, after all it was no longer her business.
Revel1984
Nyrna giggled a little at her sister "he's ... had his moments, would ya just look at them, so awkward. i swear between them, i don't know how they ever had us" she commented, looking over at the pair.
Nova just couldn't bring himself to look into her eyes, "I......i...i had Nyrna" was all he could say. "H..H...H..How have you b..b..b..b..been?"

"Did you know Mom talks in her sleep and when she thinks she's alone?" She pawed idly at the ground for a moment. "They clicked apparently. Uncle Sangha did or said something and then she had to pick between the two of them. She has no clue what happened to cause the split but she feels Dad got tired of her or something." Navi couldn't look at her sister she shouldn't have eavesdropped on their mother but she'd been scared and lonely."Mom love sDad so much that she thinks he's happy with someone else. And doesn't want to get in the way." She stated as her mother hurried away. She then turned to her father watching his reaction. "Is he with someone else Sis?"
Kyr looked over at her girls and smiled. "Nyrna looks great. Y,you did a great job." For a moment she almost added without me but held her tongue. "I,i've managed. W,we raised such strong children." She stood and nuzzled Nova respectfully. " I,i'll let you get back to y,your life. I,it was g,great s,seeing y,you a,again." She was going to burst into tears if she didn't leave now. Not wanting to rush Navi's visit she turned away from them all and excused herself. Once out of sight she ran as if fire was on her heels and only stopped once she reached the river where she collapsed and cried,
Revel1984
Nyrna sighed "no, he's lonely, he won't even let me curl with him at nights, he twitches and whimpers. I think he had seen how close Mom and Uncle Sangha were ... and thought she would be happier" she said, not understanding the two of them at all "He's been.....so very lonely without mom but whenever i try and talk about it... he breaks down......" she see's her mother run off, "kinda like that!" she said "DAD!" she yelled going over to him "Go and talk to her, stop being so DUMB! she shoves him in the general direction.
Nova gave a small smile, still unable to look at Kyr properly, he was so choked up with emotion he could barely speak. "N...n......n...navi looks great too" he mumbled, Freezing in shock as she nuzzled him, but before he got a change to say anything more, she'd run off, telling him she would let him get on with his life. He was crushed, positive she was with another male by now, even if it wasn't Sangha. He stared after her, and was shoved. He hadn't heard his daughter shout. "Nyrna....i..i...i cant, she....she left" he said "she....doesn't ......"
Charmaine Kitteridge
Navi followed her sister and then head butted her father in the direction her mom had raced off in. "She only left cause she thinks that's what you want. And if you want her then you have to tell her. She thinks you love someone else! Now go!"
Kyr would die of embarrassment if she knew how well Navi knew her. She'd striven to provide Navi with a happy time and not burden her with a mother's insecurity, and to know that even through it all she'd failed well that would have been her undoing.

Nova slowly digested wheat Navi told him, "th..th...that's not what i w..w...w...want" he sniffed, then puffed up "I...i've never loved anyone else" he said, standing up. he took a few steps the stopped. His body trembling with nerves.
Nyrna rolled her eyes, "Navi, we're going to have to drag him to mom, when he gets like this.. he freezes like those stupid rabbits" she said and grabbed her father by one ear, gesturing her sister do the same with the other.
Charmaine Kitteridge
Navi needed no encouragement from her sister and even though she and her father were the same size she tugged with all her might. "Come. On. Old. Man." She turned to her sister and spoke hoping to taunt father to get going. "Wonder if Uncle has returned from his travels..."
Kyr stuck her face into the stream to help clear her head. She really shouldn't have run but it was done. Now she had to decide if she was going to head back and collect Navi or wait here til she was found. With a sigh she flopped on the ground giving herself a bit more time to collect herself.
Revel1984
Nyrna was bigger than her father and her sister, their father being on the rather small size anyway. she easily pulled him along with her help, when they got close enough she dropped him "MOM MOM MOM COME QUICK!" she yelled.
Nova shook the whole way, hid body felt like ti wasn't his, his mind raced, thinking a millio thoughts at once, his heart beating so fat he thought he would die right there, especially when he was dropped and Nyrna yelled.

Navi let her sister take charge while she practically sat on her dad. " Hi Uncle. We're trying to fix whatever happened between Mom and Dad." She looks down at her father and nuzzles him. " Poor Daddy."
Kyr had decided she'd just stay here forever but Nyrna's shout had her racing to where she thought the voice came from. She burst through the bushes clearly in a panic. "What's wrong?! Who's hurt?!" Then she noticed the scene Sangha had returned, Navi was sitting on her father, Nova was cowering on the ground and Nyrna was searching for her. "What is going here?!" Her eyes traveled over her daughters and Sangha she was clearly upset as she padded over to Nova and with a gentle shove knocked Navi off of him.
Revel1984
Nyrna smirked and just sat where she was, she felt a little guilty at the panicked look on her mother's face but she knew it would be worth it. "Mom, i think dad has something he needs to tell you.....Don't you daddy" she said nudging poor Nova.
Nova trembled, he'd heard Sangha appear and his mind snapped, she was with him... Navi and Nyrna.... they'd been mistaken, Sangha was here to be with Kyr, he was sure of it. He offered no resistance to Navi as she practically sat on him. However as she nudged their small daughter off him, their eyes locked, all his feeling was in his eyes... his mouth moved but no words would come, tears sprang forth as he tried to tell her what he wanted...no ... needed to tell her.

sangha: "WOW what is going on here? i take a small trip and i returned to this? Kyr you ok?" he said as he glanced over to her, " still as beautiful as i remember." Sangha said with his usual smirk. "You know nova, if your having a hard time here... i could always take Kya" he said grinning
Charmaine Kitteridge
Navi picked herself up and settled next to Sangha. "Something happened between Mom and Dad." Now her voice dropped to a whisper. "Mom thinks Dad's in love with someone else and Dad can't seem to tell her that it's not true." She nudged him as he taunted her Dad and continued whispering. "He's supposed to tell her that he loves her and that there's no one else. What if he doesn't?" Now she started to worry.
Kyr wanted to scowl at her daughter but when her and Nova's eyes met she too couldn't look away. "I'm listening but if they've put you up to something.. you don't have to amuse them. And I apologize for their rudeness, I guess I didn't teach them their manners." Finally she managed to look away and noticed that Nyrna had sat and Navi had moved over to Sangha. "Welcome back Sangha. Hope your travels went well."
Revel1984
Nyrna sighed, they had tried, and seemingly failed. Their father just... stood there.. doing nothing. Saying nothing. and then the moment was gone, and mother was talking to Uncle Sangha. She went up and lay beside her father "Daddy...i'm sorry, if you don't say something ... i cant" she whispered to him, laying her chin on her paws as she felt the pain and sadness coming from the older male.
Nova just ....couldn't get the words out, he hoped she wouldn't need them, that she would be able to see the truth in his heart through his eyes. He throat was frozen.. no mater how much his soul tried to speak to her. And then.. she turned away .. to Sangha ... and he collapsed to the ground, tears welling down his face in his agony.

sangha was abit confused on what everything was going on and he knew his humor wouldn't help anything. But with now Nova crying he knew he had to do something, he could just sit there and let his kids and wife see this. " Hey kids who wants to hear of my awesome adventures while i was away and we can fill me in on now you been," he said wagging his tail trying to be strong for what seemed broken family. He then walked up to Nova and whisper in his ear, " i don't fully know what is going on here or with this other girl but i think it will do some good if you and kry spent some time apart. just to let all this feelings calm down so yall can think things threw fully." He then playfully leaped over to kry, "come on you should join us. i know you been worried since i didn't tell anyone i was leaving. plus i have many stores to tell you." Sangha nodded his head away from the direction that nova was hinting for everyone to fallow.

"Oh Uncle, you know I love your stories." She peered up at him and grinned. She thought for sure they'd go and mom and dad could fix things but when Snagha nudged Kyr away she was confused but trusted him to know what was right.
Kyr wanted to get down and nuzzle Nova into happiness but she caught Sangha's words about Nova's gal and decided it was best that she go with him. "B,bye N,nova. s,sorry I upset you." Her tail dragged behind her as she half listened to Sangha.
Revel1984
Nova's heart broke, so she was with Sangha, the fact that she walked away, and followed after Sangha ... crushed him. His brain registered the fact that Sangha thought he'd found another, but he couldn't bring himself to deny it. his spirit was shattered, his heart lay in a million peices.
Nyrna glared at her Uncle Sangha "uncle, you know full well Daddy has never loved anyone else" she told him in a huffy voice. "Dad..... tell her.. " she said loudly in the hope's her mother would turn... and would listen .. with her heart and not just her ears. Surely her mother knew that it was hard for her father to speak sometimes.

Sangha quickly grabbed Nyrna and put his paw over her nuzzle. "listen to me Nyrna.... this situation they gotten them selfs in right is more complicated then what you think. Right now it is best if mommy and daddy spent some time away from each other right now. I haven't been here latley so i don't know what is fully going on. But i do know feelings can change so i don't know. i don't fully expect you to understand right now because your still young and haven't lives life fully yet. But right now there emotions are far to strong and i don't want that to lead to something that shouldn't happen. I just don't want things said that they will regret. Once they have sorted everything out in themselves then they can talk and sort everything out." Sangha then grabbed Nyrna by the neck and trotted off to were kyr was. He glanced over to Nova and hoped for the best for him.

Navi, for the first time in her life, glared at her uncle. "No need to treat us a pups Uncle. If you hadn't noticed we're adults now. Though Dad looks awful, maybe we did rush him Nyrna. I just want them happy again." It rarely happened but Navi was on the verge of tears. She took a few calming breaths and went right up next to her mother to comfort her. " I'm sorry. I just thought you guys could clear the air."
Kyr had removed herself mentally from what was going on to avoid the hurt. Navi's sudden presence clearly shocked her and she only managed to catch the words I'm sorry. "Oh d,don't worry dear. I'm just a bit tired." She turned slightly as Sangha and Nyrna came into view. " Quite the homecoming wasn't it Sangha. How are you and where have you been?" Kyr let a small smile reach her maw as she concentrated on Sangha. Finding out what he'd been up to would hopefully get her mind off of seeing Nova again.

Thatch walks out and noticed that his parents seemed to be different. He moved over to his sister. "What is going on?"
Charmaine Kitteridge
Navi jumped at Thatch's voice. "Don't do that!!" She giggled for a moment before sobering. "Mom and Dad split up over a miscommunication and we can't get Dad to talk to her now. That's the short version. I'll fill ya in on the details later, Brother."
