Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cinder had to admit, having kids was a bit overwhelming. She'd gone from single, to ready to call some one her mate. It was...interesting making the transition. Rewarding, she could see why some would turn tail and run. It wasn't her style, she was too damn stubborn for something like that. These little one hadn't asked to be produced magically over night. The female was a big girl, she knew the risks. The price was 4 little rugrats she adored about as much as the fool she'd fallen in love with.

"Now then...where are said little munchkins, and ox." The female laughed softly, slipping off the seat she'd been in reading a book to go find the lot of her now extended family. It was said rather fondly despite the odd choice in nickname. "Babe, do you know were all the kids are?" She wasn't worried, they had care takers..but she was a mother. Worrying seemed to come with territory to some degree.




Sion on the other hand waited patiently to launch a surprise attack on the first of his litter mates who wandered to close. Not that the mostly white, grey, and red pup really could hide in the darkness well. Instead he laid in wait on his front paws, propped up on his haunches tail wagging. When his mother came to close he shhhh'd her with a silent plea in his expression and went back to waiting.

He was sitting with the kids, watching each of them, grey eyes flicking from one to the other, making sure each was breathing okay and playing and all those kinds of things. He was a little paranoid, so what? Going from single to father of four would make any guy paranoid. His black and white tail flicked this way and that as he focused on Anja, late to emerge compared to the rest. She was the only girl of their ...litter? and as such she would be more than likely spoiled by her dad.

Krystal blinked when he heard Cinder talk and looked up from the floor, grinning at her and opened up his arms like ta-da! "They're around. Playing and ....I unno, Anja is relaxin', it looks like. Chill little girl so far." He reached out and pet her head softly before he felt a bite on his tail. Hissing and tensing, he pulled his tail around to him and saw a red pup attached to it.

"...Really? You're going to do that already?" It wasn't like it honestly hurt, but he didn't like his tail being messed with too much.

Ruby's grin on his face could not be any bigger around that tail as he was pulled forward, ears twitching to the sounds and voices and his song blaring loudly, comfortably into his ears. He let out a mewling noise and then grunted when he 'fell' the whole few inches to his father's thigh and then quickly wiggled off and towards his brown sister.

All hardships his parents were suffering were lost on the boy, who's eyes hadn't opened yet. He was moving around by scent and bumping into things and trying to make sense of everything he heard and smelled rather than saw. It was so overwhelming sometimes, that Ruby just stopped and sat there, whimpering and whining until he caught a scent he recognized as siblings and moved towards them.

When he got to Anja, he licked at her back and nibbled on the tip of her ear, tail flicking this way and that.

The female slid off her seat to join the dark male on the floor, the female wore a large grin as she rest her head on his shoulder reaching out and gently smoothing first Erol's ear given he'd came bounding over to her for "protection" "I won't save you if you leap at your old man like that!" She giggled, amused by her childrens antics. Secretly she was pleased beyond all belief they'd had not only boys, but a girl. Even if four was a lot, her now extended little family was quickly growing. When he pointed out Anja was sweet, but quiet she leaned forward to gently smooth her fur down smiling.

"She'll be alright, she just has to find her voice." She eye'd Ruby next, giving the pup a considering look. "You little goof." She pressed a kiss to the top of his head. They were all so little..they'd just been a couple headphones trying to find their muse, and song. Now they were wiggling little balls of poof.

"Krys..we make damn fine kids." She rest her tail over his, her fingers tracing over his tail smoothing the ruffled fur, and pausing at the locke pattern on his tail, 2 of their 4 pups shared, lost in thought.

Sion took this moment to reveal himself, more or less bouncing out of his hiding spot, and nearly taking a spill on the floor. He'd spent all of the day bouncing around and playing, and was still hyped up. "ohaiiiiii!" While he was wobblie, and crashed into things..he was pleased to see all his siblings in one place. His tail swished almost like a rudder as he plopped himself down beside the other 3 pups. "Sister! Brothers~" he yipped happily licking at each in turn if they'd give him the time of day. As shy as he was, he had found some confidence after todays playing. Practically purring he giggled.

Cinder looked surprised as she gazed at her only daughter, leaning forward and gently gathering her up as she pulled the pup close, placing her on her lap. "I'm not exactly sure what you said my little, but we'll make it work." She laughed a bit sheepishly, giving the small girl a hug before releasing her back to play with her siblings. "Boys, you'll need to be patient with your sister, understand?" the female looked amused, nudging her mate beside her eyeing the dark and white colored male. "Krys, I think her songs not in english given how fluent she seems to be?" Cinder looked back at the pup, wondering. The female may have been a new mother, but her tolerance for something so obscure didn't really phase her. So many song genre's existed, it wouldn't be IMPOSSIBLE to help the girl talk she hoped.

Sion blinked at his sister, wondering what in the world she'd said. "Well...whatever that means Anja, I love you sissy!" he puffed up some, looking proud. He giggled really, wagging his tail happily. The pup didnt UNDERSTAND, but he knew he'd protect his sister and watch over her regardless. His head had tilted to one side, bemused really. "Youre all silly!" he chirped merrily stretching out on his front paws and wiggling, wanting to entice the 3 of them to play perhaps. "Play?" He asked looking hopeful.

(( i'll just do a reply since Anja needs interaction for english speaking anyway lol xD; <3 ))

Krystal took this moment to lean against Cinder, laughing a bit when he felt something hit his back and watched as she pulled Erol out and talked to him. Humming to himself, he took Ruby into his hands and just nosed against him, kissing the pup's head and then looked down at Sion and all the others. So many pups. He was kind of dazed at how active they were!

"You look away for one second and they are everywhere," he murmured to Cinder, grinning a bit and then laughed.

Ruby didn't want to be picked up! He bit at dad's hands and then grinned once he was put down and just nosed his way over to someone. He didn't care who. The red boy was just scooting around, tail flicking this way and that, ears perked up trying to hear beyond the music paying in them, but when your eyes weren't open, it was very hard to do!
