Welcome to Gaia! ::

Attor had known she was going to leave early, she had a job to do after all and he couldn't fault her for that. In fact, quite the opposite. He rather admired it. Usually he'd also have gone out early to ensure he got back on time but that was the thing.

He had time.

Prince Feralheart had also said to enjoy himself a bit, let lose and have fun. He could certainly say he did just that. And just one morning sleeping in, still laying in bed was a nice change every now and then. Plus the smell of her was still strong on the pillow case and he was enjoying it still. But the call of sustenance fueled him into action.

Getting out of bed finally, he paused to make it, straighten the sheets and pillows for when she returned so that he didn't leave a mess for when she got back home. It was only when he reached the door that he noticed the smell of breakfast and coffee left for him. A smile crept over his lips as he stood near the table.

"Thank you, my nebula." he said softly before allowing himself a seat.

Attor had been quietly finishing off his breakfast but rather enjoying the warm feeling of coffee as it soothed his throat. Some mornings, the drink was more of a comfort than a source of energy, however today it seemed to be both. While usually not much of a smiler, a small one was still stuck to the corners of his mouth. At least until he heard a knock at the door.

Surely Tanz would not have knocked to her own residence?

Calmly getting up, making sure to push his chair in and set his dirty plate near a basin to be washed, he took his cup and wandered to the door, pausing a brief moment to listen for any more sounds.




Topaz giggled, running up to the door with her cousin and began to mimic the other blue hybrids actions. Only she would peer back at her dad a bit before going back to laughing and slapping her hands on the door. "Awnt-TEEE!" she about screeched, a very struggled word to say yet she was proud of herself for spitting out what she thought was perfection. Her lion like tail flicked and her tiny wings wiggled excitedly.


Confused.... like extremely confused... Attor cracked the door to try and figure out where the sounds of... children???... were coming from...

Topaz bust through after her cousin, racing between the bodies of children as she fought to be the second one through the door. She slid to a halt when she saw Iolyte do so but managed to screech a bit farther along, like a cat who had lost traction on a smooth surface and though her legs had stopped moving, she still slid a few feet farther.

Blinking, she looked at the glowing green faun before her, confused. "Nawt Awn-tee." she said with a confused look before turning to Iolyte. "y?" she asked, as if the little blue hybrid could just give her a fountain of answers for this intense crime upon paemanity.

Before Attor could even blink, a hand hit the door and thrust it open.



"Now now Children, not so fast. Let's not scare Aunty Ta----aah... you are not Aunty Tanz." Night Terror grinned, his half shut expression sparkling with something more...mischievous. He had known Tanz had had a visitor stay the night. She had proved that was common for her now, seeing as she had been with one other faun at Venus Day which resulted in yet another bundle of mixed hooved energy. But when Purr had talked to him about playing a little prank, well, he couldn't help but agree.

"Aaahhhh, you must be her new.....friend." he grinned, his grin seeming to almost spread from ear to ear with unknown intent. "Forgive us... she failed to mention she'd left company here." he said, his tail flicking.

Attor simply stood there, eyeing the explosion of children and then the sudden appearance of another male. A rather....holey male. "Hmm. She failed to mention...... " he paused and gestured to well, just all of whatever this was. "....this either." he said, focusing on the children. They all....kinda looked like Tanz. Some more than others but... he had to wonder....

... Was he not the first?

By a long shot?

Night Terror was absolutely having a ball with this.

The many looks that seemed to wash over his face felt like fuel to him and he almost wondered if this was how Swarm Mother felt when she went to Venus Day. If so, he wanted more of it.

"They seem to like you! Though I can't say I'm surprised. I mean, we are rather similar." he grinned, sliding a bit of his glittering hair from his face, his slit like pupils dilating slightly.

"Yes..... similar...." was all Attor could say before he felt tugging at his hoof fur. He glanced down only to see the blue tot scramble between his legs, clutch his tail in her arms and raise it up like some kind of trophy. "Ah.. please... that is not a toy." he said softly, trying not to out right burst. He did his best to try and turn slightly to pat the child on the head. "I'm Attor." he said to answer her question.

Topaz ran over and latched onto the end of his tail tip too and she giggled. "Wike mee!" she said, then turning around to wiggle her tail in Iolyte's face before going over to smack Attor on the leg. "U iz? U iz?" she repeated the other toddlers questions before going quiet, letting her fingers slide through the new male's hoof fur before her tiny mind caught up to her intense wondering. "Hoofers wike Iiiioooo?" she said and pointed at his glowing green ones before pointing at her cousins orange hoofs.

Attor had begun to put two and two together, or so he thought, recalling one of his earlier conversations with Tanz. She had a sister who apparently had children that had a faun father. This must be them. "So, these..... lovely bundles are yours then? Sorry, but Aunt Tanz isn't here."

Aahhh there it was. Night Terror simply grinned in delight. "Oh yes."

"Well. These three are mine...."

Amethyst had quietly followed his father into the building, he was not the most awake child in the morning.

The loud commotion of his siblings and Io along with an unknown voice was enough to wake the drowsy child who whipped his eyes to get rid of the sleepy feeling before heading over to join the others at the stranger.


He tilted his head as the man introduced himself followed by Io yelling a door. "Why?" He asked this pae was more like Io than a door. Why was he saying he was a door. "No door." He said with a sagely nod.




He is just a leetle zombie in the morning holding dads hand and walkin (probably trips a lot since he half asleeep LOL)

Iolyte tilted her head slightly as she tried to process everything her older cousins were saying to her and around her. She pouted and stomped her hoof. "No, no! He A-door!" With the hand not holding onto the pae in question, she pointed at Attor to further emphasize her argument... that might not have actually been an argument at all.

She then looked over at NT, hands still tugging on Attor's hoof fur, as she continued. "Right 'ncle? He A-door!"

Lily giggled and clapped her hands. "A-door!!" she cheered brightly. Her giggles cut off when the brightly colored door said no. No?? Lily didn't like no. She pouted up at him, determined to understand what he was trying to tell them. She repeated the words he asked them to say along with her sister, stuttering a little on the second syllable. Words were still hard.

However, just like her sister, she still came up with "A-door!" She beamed up at him, then at her siblings as Topaz clung to them and pulled them into running around with her. "Wheee!!! A-door! Unc' A-door!" she squealed and giggled, clapping her hands again when Daddy announced that Uncle A-door would be playing with them today. "Yaaaayyyyy!!! UNC A-DOOR, PAY WIF USSSS!" Releasing her sister and brother, she stumbled over to cling to Attor's leg and looked up at him with bright green eyes that absolutely would spill over with tears if he said he wouldn't play with them.
