Hunter: *stretches his body out as Ma-Ku is in his family's home terriority, relaxing so he decided to do some searching to see if he could find anything that would help them find Ma-Ku's family. With a sigh, he wanders around the town, loooking for any cats that would know who Ma-Ku and be able to connect back to her family*

Dracal: *walks out of the cafe where his sister, Ara was spending time to talk with him for a bit. He glanced around the place to see who would be around. His tail moved slightly behind him as he purred. He perked up at the sight of a kitty. "Hello there!"

Hunter: *freezes little bit when he hears someone calling out to him and he turns his head to see a tall guy* Oh hey there. *smiles friendly but there is a wary look in his pale green eyes* Nice day eh?

Dracal: *nods as he walks over to the feline and glanced around towards the sky. "I agree.. It is beautiful." He smiled, looking back at him. "The name is Dracal."

Hunter: *relaxes little bit when he didn't see any threatening behavior coming from another cat that calls himself Dracal and he sits on his hunches with a grin* Indeed. Little bit nippy but its really beautiful day out. Shame the groundhog saw its shadow huh? 6 more weeks of winter *shakes his head in mild amusement* Oh... My name is Hunter. I am just here to look around for clues for my..... *is not sure if Ma-Ku is his girlfriend or just close friend*..... close friend. She's looking for her family right now.

Dracal: *tilts his head as he listened before nodding. "It is a shame. I believe the weather may flip flop a bit more before getting cold for a good bit." He arched his brow a bit. "Clues? If you don't mind me asking, who is she and what family is she looking for? I know of a few families around here.. One is in the university."

Hunter: Perhaps so... *glances up at the skies as he chuckles to himself quietly, wondering why he have a tendency to open up with a small weather chatter but he gives Dracal a brief sharp glance when he inquires about clues and families* Ma-Ku is my friend's name. *looks at him evenly as he lifts his chin up* She was kidnapped from her family and was taken a good distance away and she couldn't find her way back.

Dracal: *listened til the name of Ma-ku causes him to freeze momentarily* .... Ma-Ku?" He sat up straight as he tries to keep himself calm. "Ma-Ku is my adopted sister's daughter. Is she okay? Where is she?" He frowned as the worry could easily be seen in his eyes. He knew Nyx would be worried sick. He looked towards the boy. "I know where her family is. They live here in the university."

Hunter: *blinks as he noticed another male freeze momentarily and sit up straight but it could be seen that Dracal is trying to stay calm. His ears perks forward as he leans forward toward Dracal in interest* You are her adopted uncle so that means you know where her family is? *is trying to keep the exictement out of his voice as he looks around to see where the university is* Ma-Ku is with my family right now. She's very loved there and taken care of. They already have taken her in as a honorary family member. *rubs the back of his lightly scarred neck* She's not collared anymore.

Dracal: *nods gently as he continues to try to remain calm.* Hell.. My own mother would vouch for her grand-daughter..." He glanced towards him once more as he tried not to whimper a bit but it came out regardless. "..She is safe now? I am so glad for that.." He flattened his ears and looks around the place. "Her mother and her family should be in that direction. I'll admit that I haven't been here for a long while. But that was the last I remember where they were living." He pointed towards where Nyx and the rest of the litter could be living at. He perked up and sighs with a relief. "... Collars may be sacred to us but it was needed to be taken off in order to grow into what we need to be." He wished so much to see his neice for himself to see if she is really okay*

Hunter: *blinks as he looks at Dracal curiously, not familiar with Dracal's entire family* Ma-Ku is definitely safe, I assure you of that *gives Dracal a small reassuring smile as his eyes shifts all over the place, not sure what to do because the guy in front of him seems to be on verge of falling apart, if he reads that whimper from Dracal correctly* Well, I will have to check that university out and see if that's where Ma-Ku's family is because I don't want to lead her to a place and have her hopes come crashing back down. But can you tell me more about her family? So I can go in with my eyes open and knowing what to expect. *chuckles at the mention of the collars* Collars is actually a symbol of us being taken away from our own families and forced to live with humans for awhile. It was literally choking me and Ma-Ku had to help me get it off. Ma-Ku didn't like the bell on hers so we cut hers off. We still have those collars because its a good and bad reminder of our pasts *grins at Dracal*

Dracal: *He took a few deep breaths as he sits back a bit, listening to the young male. It was at least good that Ma-Ku was safe and is loved by Hunter's family. He was glad for that very reason. He glanced towards the boy once again. "Nyx is her mother who is a ballerina." He smiled at the memory of seeing her dance. "Her father is Jiji. As for the siblings.. I have trouble remembering them due to the fact that I have so many relatives.. It is hard to remember." He laughed softly while rubbing the back of his head. "Ma-Ku is very much like her mother. My mother which is her grandmother goes by the name of Persy. My mother had several litters. It is impossible to remember all of the times unless you go to a family reunion. There are Hermes.. Morph... " He glanced towards him. "But you are right about that. I still go to where my collar is at.. on my owner's grave. It is a reminder of what I once had. If it wasn't for my mother, Persy.. I wouldn't remember much of my childhood or even still be around."

Hunter: *grins as he listens to Dracal and he nods in agreement* Ma-Ku was telling me about how her mother is this famous ballerina that teaches classes and whatnot and her father is a martial artist. Ma-Ku and I have agreed that when we become older, we will learn this dance form of martial art and Ma-Ku is going to have her mother teach both of us how to dance. Can you see me in this tutu? *groans little bit before he snorts to himself* Ah! Big family! My family is still relatively small. I have 5 brothers. Hopefully my parents would give me more siblings.. maybe sisters this time *grins crookedly as he blinks at Dracal* I didn't realize Ma-Ku had a really huge family. This is going to be a really interesting experience for me. *smiles as a warm expression creeps into his eyes when he thinks of Ma-Ku* What happened to your owner? *frowns sadly*

Dracal: *He smiled softly as he listened to Hunter. "Nyx is very very strong as a ballerina. I have many stories to tell you just about her mother alone. Nyx and I were very close at one point of our lives. I do recommend to learn everything you can about the dancing as well as the martial arts. I know some martial arts but more on Tai Chi and mediation." He laughed softly. "You wouldn't be in a tutu.. I learned how to do the dances for Nyx. To guide her and help her." He smiled softly. "And yes.. We have a vey big family. Bring her to me. I can get my mother to come and see us if you desire. I know Ma-Ku would want to see any of her family." He chuckled. "Bigger than we can really count.. at least that is how I feel about my beloved family." He flattened his ears once again when he heard the question about his owner. "My owner.. She was a wonderful woman, always putting her animal friends first. She spoiled all of us as much as she could despite her health struggles. She was almost deaf and had asthma. I always thought it would be her lungs that would cause her to go out. But.. it was a car accident.. We all knew something happened when the vibe in my home. Strange humans started to appear to take us one by one. I was lucky enough to escape before they took me. Not long after that, I went to find my owner at her grave.. " He sighed softly. "I put my collar on it because I knew I couldn't go home again. That was the night I was found by my mother, Persy."

Hunter: So I have been told. It seems like I have gotten lucky today by bumping into you. Ma-Ku would definitely be very happy to hear that I have discovered her family. *grins even more widely before it became a curious expression* Tai Chi? It looks like I have a lot to learn. Perhaps you could become my sensei when it comes to Tai Chi? I am really interested in fighting styles, meditation and that kind of thing. I guess that's why my parents called me Hunter. *smiles as he nods little bit* I will have to see if Ma-Ku is willing to rip herself away from my family. She seems to be very smitten with them *chuckles* I just know that she will be part of my family one way or other *smiles warmly because he knows that he's not going to let Ma-Ku slip through his fingers* As for her seeing her family, I definitely would help out whenever I can to get Ma-Ku back to them and to you as well since you are her family too. *a look of concern flickers through his face when he sees Dracal's ears flattening against his skull and he listens to other male speak about his human owner* She sounds like she's a very sweet human. I had a family of humans that took care of me. It was really nice until they all suddenly moved away. But I am sorry that your human had to die like that... *gives Dracal a sympathetic look* She's still around, you know?

Dracal: Everything happens for a reason, Hunter. I am glad that we saw each other today. *He perks up and nods. "Tai-Chi is a way to meditate. Have you ever seen anyone using it? I do know a couple of forms of meditation." He chuckled. "Well.. You won't have to hunt down things to learn." He said while giving him a wink. He seems to be getting a bit amused at the way Hunter was talking about Ma-Ku. "You wouldn't happen to have a crush on my neice... now would you, eh?" He grinned at him before nodding at his words about their family. "Just bring her home whenever she is ready." He nods softly when it comes to his owner. "She was.. a rare kind of sweetness. She loved being around us.. even more so when other humans have hurt her emotionally. And I do know that she is here with me. Us felines can see things that humans cannot. I cherish that knowledge so much. I still go and visit her grave from time to time. But anyway.. You are more than welcome to become my student." He grins slowly and softly. "Would you want to start after you are able to get Ma-Ku back home?"

Hunter: Mmm... I don't think I ever seen anyone meditate before really...*shrugs as he chuckles* I don't hunt down things to learn, you see.. I just want to absorb everything and perhaps come up with a new method of meditation or fighting. *blinks in confusion and his eyes went wide at Dracal's suggestion that he have a crush on Ma-Ku* Uhhhhhh........ *frowns as he shrugs* I am not sure if I do, you know? I really like her and I think she's awesome *eyes shifts around little bit* I don't know if I HAVE a crush on her or not. If so, then I think the feeling is mutual. At least that's what I am seeing whenever Ma-Ku is around me *grins as he nods* After I am done chatting with you, I actually.. have a date or meeting I need to go with Ma-Ku so it all works out. I will let her know that I have found her family and we can head over to bring her back to them. *nods in understanding manner as he smiles little bit at Dracal* I can imagine. But yes, I would love to *grins at Dracal happily*
