Welcome to Gaia! ::

Paimon was out foraging with Huel, the two brothers talking calmly about families. Though Paimon was older, he hadn't had any kids yet, and Huel had. Paimon was a nervous wreck, not that he would let Ca know.. well she probably knew due to their Bondeds' connection that also connected them, but he wouldn't admit to it. It wasn't until he smelled it, the distinct smell of sulfur, and not his and Huel's own, and not any of Huel's children for they were off doing their own things. It was the distinct new smell of Sulfur. Both of the male's head raised and they raced towards the scent, which was also in the direction of Ca. He better not! Paimon's mind hiss. As they got closer, Huel skidded to a stop, looking at the two foals while Paimon charged right up to them with an angry whinny. 'LEAVE!" He snarled out.

Huel stepped towards Paimon. "Pai. They're just children." he said softly, his kind eyes watching the young ones' reaction.

Roman startled at the snarl, his body immediately responding to his training as his wings spread back, making him look larger than he really was, his teeth baring, revealing the few sharp points he'd gained by birth and honed by hunting and eating meat in the south. He snarled back equally as ferocious and bat his clawed wings at the older flamer.

Paimon remained where he was, the fire around him swirling as he snarled at the young flamer, a contest of wills and anger between the two brothers.

Paimon still snarled at the foal, until he heard his silent mate. He eased his visible aggravation, though he was still somewhat in attack mode. He turned to look at Ca, and asked, almost crossly; "Who are they?" He asked, his red eyes burning back into those of the younger ones.

Roman folded his wings in and eased his fire so as to not hurt Uncle Del, though he was still in a snarl. "I am Roman and this is Remus. We are brothers, both sons of Ruin and Lacey Aumia." he growled out.

Huel looked at Paimon before looking at the two younger ones, specifically Remus. "Calm. Its okay, he's all bark and no bite. We are your brothers. He is Paimon, the eldest, and I am Huel Mabcaw. Its finally a pleasure to meet you, brothers." He said softly, trying to get the foals to calm down while Ca worked on Paimon.

Paimon simmered, though he was still wary of the colts, especially the one that had snarled back at him. Spunk was fine, but he smelled strongly of Ruin, which meant he'd been around the evil demon. "Fine." Was all he said as he looked at the colts again. "What brings you to my nest, young fire-breathers?" He asked.

Roman simmered and listened to what Del said, instantly recognizing what he meant by each heart. While Paimon's was magma, that wasn't a bad thing. He was strong and could change his flow at a moment's notice. He wouldn't harm them. Roman slipped out from under his uncle's wings to study Huel and Paimon. "We came to visit you. We are your brothers, we figured we might as well know you." He declared. "Also, Mama said that Miss Ca was expecting babies and said that if we were coming this way, we might as well offer to help if it was needed..." He turned to Ca, his bright eyes shining as he lay on the ground, extending his nose towards her, a silent way of asking if she wanted anything. Roman knew nothing of this female, only that she was mated to his brother, but somehow, his heart told him how to act.

Huel nodded at the boys. "Well you are welcome to visit anytime." he said softly as he smiled at the boys. "You live near some other kin of mine." he said casually as he smiled at Delta. "I'm glad to see you up and about, though I know you have been for a while now. My mate's family was worried about you for awhile there."



Michiko made her way over to the group. She had heard Paimon's angry whinny and had come towards them, but seeing the problem diffused she had slowed her pace in order to come at a more leisurely pace. Once she arrived her eyes focused on the foals. "I see you have met your contemporaries..." She commented almost dryly to Paimon and Huel before turning to Ca. "You doing okay, sweety?" She asked tenderly.

Roman stayed where he was, ignoring the angry sounds coming from Paimon as he stayed there, his ears flicking at the conversations around him, as he studied Ca. She was a very beautiful female, he figured, almost as pretty as Mama but definitely not prettier.

Michiko slapped Paimon with her tail. "Quit your huffing and puffing. They are your brothers and they are foals. Its bad enough you threatened Huel's life when he was a blanket, leave these boys alone. They've done nothing except be born to get your hatred."

Paimon, effectively cowed, nodded, ducking to escape another swipe from Michi's tail. "Yes ma'am." He said softly, his angry exterior fully diminishing at her admonishment.

Huel shook his head. "They are not your fault, Delta. But just remember, you have a humongous clan of kin that has your back." He said, turning to Paimon and Michiko. "You threatened my life when I was a blanket?!" He exclaimed/

Paimon lay down behind Ca, part way because he wanted to, but mostly as protection from his brother and adoptive mother. "Uh.. well.. I uh..." he stuttered about.

Roman got up, seeing that Ca was either ignoring him or had nothing to say and went back over to his brother, lightly headbutting his shoulder as Remus laughed. "Does The Crash want to race?" He asked with a great grin.

Huel rolled his eyes. "Gee, Pai... I knew you didn't like me to begin with, but I never thought you'd threaten the life of a child..." he said, halfway as a joke, but also making a point.

Michiko leaned down and lightly picked at Ca's mane before turning and leaving.She wasn't needed at the moment.

Roman laughed and headbutted his brother. "Catch me!" he called, taking off, dust in his wake.

Paimon sighed and let Ca nibble while he looked in every way but in the way of his company. "They're not just kids... they are potentially dangerous. Ruin will twist the mind of any he can..." he said.

Roman grinned and looked back at his brother, fanning out his wings so to slow down a bit and let Remus catch up. "C'mon slow poke!"

Paimon simmered as he lay next to his mate and nibbled on her mane. It worried him that she was so near, so much that he really hadn't left her side at all, much to Punk's chastisement to give his daughter space. He sighed and looked up at Delta and Huel.

Huel smiled kindly at his brother's mate, hoping she knew that he would stop Paimon from any irrational mistakes he might possibly try at when it came to his kids. He knew and understood his brother's fear, more so than his brother possibly understood. He also knew that Lacey wanted Roman and Remus here while she went on a small journey, though to where, she hadn't told Huel. He looked up at Delta. "Do you know where Lacey went, and how long she will be gone?"
