"Yashi... we can't just keep escaping the house whenever Akuti tries to hold you, you know." His voice was soft, slightly scolding, but far from angry. The fiercely pierced man was carting his silent son through the roads of the area, bouncing the little fox-kit on his hip.
Yashima, typically, kept silent, wide golden eyes scanning through the area. He could... He could feel something in the air. Something was different - he could feel it. Patrick, not understanding that his kit was actually thinking instead of just staring at things, continued to talk on about the crazy situation at home.
"I know Akilah bites but just smack him in the head. I know you have the motor skills for that. Lahela... You just have to pinch her beak is all, Yashi! I mean, really... they're easy to deal with. Staring at me won't make me let us leave any sooner."
He was talking to himself, explaining his own reasonings to the air and his own brain, rather then his sons. Yashi just cuddled against him, cheek pressing against the others shoulder. His tail curled a bit, the fluffy black and blue harsh against Patricks white shirt, ears lying flat on his skull.
....it was still a little cold out...

Malum was not a happy camper.
It was chilly, and the boy definately wasn't a fan of the cooler temperatures, a tiny scowl on his deceptively angelic face as he pressed it down further into his blanket, body encased by the babycarrier strapped to a young, redheaded woman's back.
Strapped to her front, however, was a happier, awe-struck little girl. Levis' darker-aligned face was lit with wonder, and she seemed extremely pleased to be able to see her breath when she breathed out, fingers trying to gently hold it.
Indu, the young woman, looked rather nuetral, a bored expression on her face. She wasn't out for a stroll, instead, she was simply trying to get to the autoshop where her bike was. She hated hoofing it.

Patrick hadn't been able to ride his bike since aqquiring his first child, Iamel. He missed it, damnit. But it was at that moment that Yashima chose to make a quiet noise, small, chubby hand reaching out towards the two girls and the angry young boy.
"Gyahaba!" He gabbed out, voice a rare thing for him. Patrick paused, lips twisting slightly into a frown, ruffling at the others hair gently.
"What is it, kit? Something sparkly?" Yashima ignored him, communicating the only way he knew how - making a slight noise and trying to grab at it. Pierced eyebrows arched, body twisting to ... see some lady with twins strapped to her?
He had that contraption! It was nifty.
"It's just some girl, Yashi. You don't like girls?"
"Gyahabababa!"

"Excuse me?"
What a p***k! 'Just some girl!' Indu didn't say THAT kind of s**t when HER kids were interested in something! Actually, she didn't say anything, in all honesty. Because Levis WAS interested. Usually, the slightly grumpy redhead would have just trudged past the man, but noooo, Patrick had to be talking to the boy. And the little boy had cat ears. Gods, did Indu not like those. Still, he was sort of cute. For a baby.
"Relax Lee, it's just some boy!"
Levis wrinkled her nose up at her mother, slightly puzzled, but then turned her green eyes over to Yashima, blowing a puff of white air toward him curiously.
"Oi?"
Malum hated being on the back, but ever since he'd made the mistake of hitting Indu several times in the breasts, he'd been stuck back there. Where he missed most of the action. A little fist came up to strike his adoptive mother's shoulder blade, and she winced a little uncomfortably. He snickered.
"Ahah."

"Excuse what?" The dark man glanced up from his silent son, eyebrows arching easily on that high forehead. "I was talking to Yashi--"
"Gahahababa!" That time..it was almost a shriek from the child, small body twisting violently in Patricks grasp. He gave a business-like yelp of alarm and his arms tightened. Patricks red and black eyes jolted up to the angry redhead, eyes narrowing tightly in his skull. "Boogah!"
"Did you by chance-" He grunted, for Yashima suddenly went still, staring up at the woman in perfect placidity, a sweet little smile curled on his lips, "Happen to stop by a Wande Shoppe?"

The question startled Indu so much that she actually answered it, her snort of laughter wry and self-mocking.
"Stop by? Hah, you mean forced to? Sure. I guess that's what it was. Some freak-woman dumped these brats on me."
Her gaze, however, was on Yashima. Why did he get such a cute, quiet little thing? Sure, Levis was nice, but she came in a double package...
Levis, seeming to consider the term an endearing nickname, gave Patrick a gorgeous, is shy smile, cheeks a little pink, before blowing another white gust at the two males, and pulling her blanket up to cover the lower half of her face, to the bridge of her nose.
Malum was not liking this. A loud warcry from the boy, and both his hands shot up to grip the ends of Indu's short hair, tugging before they slipped off.
"AWWRRAAAAAAAGHH!"
Indu's breath was a sharp gasp, and her red eyes narrowed, hands going back to easily undo the straps holding Malum in, and gripping him by the back off his shirt, pulling him up, out, and to the front of her, like a cat gripping the nape of a kitten's neck.
"MALUM REEVER! Cut that OUT!"
The malicious twinkle in his green eyes said otherwise, and he shot a wicked grin to Levis, before turning that gaze on Yashima.

"...Figures that's what would make Yashima make noise." He snorted, head shaking quickly. "They grew fast, though? They didn't become gusts of colored air?" Patrick was curious and it didn't stop him from smiling back at that adorable little bundle of cuteness.
Yashima just looked amused. There was a BOYCREATURE! FINALLY! A boycreature who wasn't his father or siblings - a boything just like him, just his age! How happy was HE geeking out?!
Silently.
Stoicly.
In his head, of course.
Instead of giggling, the little fox-kit just stared back at Malum, pushing his chubby fist into his mouth to suck and gum at. He didn't look away from the boys stare - the older male met it eye-to-eye, nose crinkling up delicately.

Mal's grin turned to a sneer as his green eyes ran over the other boys small body. He, actually, prefered females, as in his household, they appeared to be both smarter, and stronger. Not that Malum liked anyone. Well, he liked Levis. Sorta. And that Coailiann girl... But still, those were girls.
Indu stepped closer, a frown on her face, until they were only inches apart, thinking over what he said. Gusts of colored air? What kind of crack was THIS dude smoking?
"Ah, no, this is how I got them. Along with this... Wand, thing, I guess."
A glance down showed the wand sticking out of her sidebag, something Levis would never leave the house without. Malum didn't seem to care about it much though.
Levis was the one to giggle aloud, and she reached out to touch Patrick, deciding that Yashima was more interested in her brother. She hadn't seen any adult men before. Big boy.
Oh, Malum reached out to touch too. If you could call letting a fist fly, since they were rather close. It sailed toward Yashima with startling accuracy for a little boy like himself.

"Ooooh.. You've got yourself a Coailiann too then... Usually, they're supposed to become air or something like it and THEN a baby.. Something like that. It's What Yashima did." Patricks free hand waved slightly at that..before moving to tickle at Levis' palm, a grin still on that rather pretty face at that.
"And what's your name, pretty girl? I'm sure Kay's gonna be jealous of having you around~" Okay, so he gets squishy around babies. He had about seven of his own AND he was pregnant!
...yeah, don't ask about that part.
Yashima saw the fist coming. Oh, no, couldn't have that! Violence was a NO NO in his house and it was a NO NO here too! His hand jerked out of his mouth, sticky and damp with baby dribble, flailing at the hand nearing him and gums moving to try and chomp down.
Nonononono!

"Coailiann...? I know that name. Cute little thing. Like yours, there. Yashima, is it?"
She couldn't help it. As a child, and a teen, she'd only seen men abuse things, and guys that were gentle, and liked children always made her happy.
Levis' tinkling laughter lit up the cold, and in contradiction with her more demonic looks, she eyes were bright with good. She knew her own name, but unfortunately, she hadn't yet mastered the use of her tongue.
"Leeee."
At least she could get out the nickname, right?.
"That's Levis, and her brother here is Malum... As you heard."
Indu's gaze flicked down, and she was horrified to see the tiny fist propelling toward the fox-boy, about to reach out and stop him when instead, a tiny hand on his upper arm made his face darken, but the motion halt.
Levis.
She was the quiet one, the gentle one, and Malum seemed to control everything. But when you're not worried about LOOKING like you're in charge, you can actually BE in charge. The little girl was the boss here, even if no one but the twins knew it.

"She's the only girl yashima will ever touch, other then one of his sisters... She's adorable. Learning to talk too." He grinned quickly, glancing up at the woman in question. "Are these two your first sprogglets?"
Yeah. First two. Once you started 'collecting' children in Gaia... You find it hard to stop. He even adopted a lover! Kind of. Sort of. "Levis and Malum.. Yep, this is Yashima. He's a kitsune. What are your kiddlets?"
Yashima scowled at the stopped hand, pushing his fist right back into his mouth... but his tail flicked towards Levis. So. Another good female! He could get used to those... the boys he met seemed to be jerks. "Veeee." He muttered in agreement.

"Sprogglets? Mmmn. Far from it. Gods..."
Indu let out a long sigh, the tall woman's gaze flicking to the ground as she shifted the twins in her arms. She couldn't help but notice how small Patrick was, and that actually made her feel more comfortable. At 6'1" she was a tall girl, and she definately liked that fact. Kept her at more even ground with most men.
"... Far from it. All of them have been accidental, really. I just can't say no to the kids that need a home, a good home. I know what it's like to have a shitty one."
Levis patted her brother's arm one more time, before flicking her warm eyes toward Yashima. He was a pretty thing, and she liked those. And his ears moved funny. Like Ka's, Neme's panther. Only not. Hesitantly, her fingertips reached out toward them, wanting to touch, but extremely shy about it. If he flinched away, the poor girl would probably be crushed.

"How many do you have? I have... eight?" He paused at that, eyebrows knitting together as he counted that in his skull. Slim shoulders rose and fell, red and ebony eyes sliding up, up, up! towards the woman, full lips peeling back into a quiet grin. "And it always happens by accident. Only one of mine hasn't been an accident..."
Even the one inside of him. Oh yeah. Accidents ruled everything.
Her comment about shitty homes made him pause, head tilting up slightly. Unlike most, he had been gifted with parents who gave a damn and raised him right. "I just can't say no to things that need someone."
Yashima just watched her. His eyes flicked, yes, but they moved towards her fingers, rather then away. Pets? Pets were good things. Pets were happy things! Girls - like Kay and Lee? - liked to give pets.

Indu straight up burst into laughter, causing Malum to scowl at her as if she'd been doing drugs. That she'd stolen from him.
"Only eight?! Jeeze, I wish! The Reever clan is gigantic! Kids I got when they were older are already starting subbranches of the family in my house! Luckily, we all work, a lot, so the house is rather huge. There's upwards of 30 underagers in my home, most of which answer to me. Or, are supposed to... "
Indu also had a pair of her own twins, that were VERY accidental. Who expected another GIRL to get you pregnant?! Hah. Certainly not anyone who's ever learned ANYTHING about reproduction.
Levis' continued her fingers' slow journey across the small space between their parents, and let them brush against his ears lightly, the feeling of the fur making her eyes light up, and a smile grow on her slightly colored cheeks. Unlike most children, that could pet too hard, Levis was always gentle, and the strokes she applied to Yashima's head and ears were light, affectionate touches. He had more hair than Malum did, and it was nice to play with.
Oh hell no. Mal was not into this. Uh-uh, no way. That Yashima-thing was going to regret this. Oh yeah, he was. Little Malum's green eyes were dark with fury and... Hate?

"Thirty?"
Oh, THAT made the scientest gawk. He could hardly handle the eight he had..the eight psycho ones... the one growing in him..god, it hurt his head SO MUCH. That head was shaken thusly, nose crinkling up slightly. "Thirty... Holy s**t. I couldn't handle thirty.. I have a hard enough time with the eight we have... Yashima is the ONLY sane one, I swear to the gods."
A shudder ran through him at that.
Yashima murred quietly in his pleasure at the pets, skull tilting closer to her fingers. It felt sooooo good. Even Coailiann only patted at it...not...scritched! Didn't touch his eaaaaars and it felt sooooo loooooovely that he was absolutely melting against her and his fathers arm, fingers flexing quietly, tail curling tightly around his ankles. "Gaba..."
