why: Family reunion!!!

Remus nuzzled his mate unobtrusively but with no decline of love or passion after 10 kits and left her to finish the dinner preparations without his hindering. He would only be a call away should Nari need him. "Liliana. Hemi. Are the places set?"

"Yes, Daddy." "Yes, Daddy!" Their voices echoed pleasantly in the dinning hall. Their 'baby' -the youngest- was looking as cheerful & loving as ever now that he had reached his full growth as he was as a kit. And Liliana... she had been beautiful before but now with Zell's physical training she was positively stunning. Which is likely not helping her two beau's any... Smiling Remus gave a soft shake of his chocolate head, dark bands on his ears seeming to bend with the motion. "Good. Thank you both."

A chorus of 'you're welcome's followed as the two chimed in together and laughed. Trotting over to his father Hemi gave him a warm snuggle then flipped his scarf better around his neck and folded his wings to his back. "Cool if I go fetch Bryna now, Daddy?"

Remus smiled, giving a glance at his daughter which she purposefully avoided. "Of course. Tell the others hi and thank them again for letting us have her for the evening." "From me too, Hemi." Liliana added quickly.

Giving them both warm and overly knowing smiles Hemi nodded, pulling his willow wand from it's tan holster on his leg. Sometimes Lily had the best ideas. "Sure thing! Be right back!"

With that he disapparated to apparate outside the Fierra place, using his wand to knock on the door. "Hello! It's Hemi, come to get Bryna!"

Beyond the hustle and bustle of the preparations, another sibling rested contently on a corner chair. Even in a seperate room, Nahanni could hear the others just fine passed the door in the nearby wall. Seems a reunion of sorts was to take place. The daughter gave a simple sigh, keeping her own anxiety in check. Besides, she had something to distract her from fearing the upcoming crowd. Murky eyes peered down at one hind leg, dangling from the front of her cushioning chair. With a flickering ear, she swung her leg in an experimenting manner. All grown now. How.....odd. Nahanni blinked to herself, not knowing whether to feel proud or upset. Proud to just be an adult, upset that she couldn't fit under furniture anymore. Either way she was at least content. Especially now that she had trained her nerve-wracking power, thanks to her parents. Her maw twitched in an attempt at a smile.

Vynnessia had eagerly awaited the family reunion and helped Lil and her father prepare with a wide smile upon her face. "I'm so excited" she exclaimed to her family that was currently there. All her siblings had grown into adults too!

"Dad When is everyone going to get here?" she asked eagerly, the smiled as Hemi went to get Bryna "Dad I'm going to go to if that’s alright" she smiled. She was so excited and quickly dashed after Hemi "Hey Hemi wait up!"

Katsumi had summoned a small plant and stared out the window. Katsumi smirked, this was no ordinary plant of course. She grinned as she fed it some raw meat she had snagged from the freezer. The Venus flytrap closed it's jaws eagerly as it ate.

Katsumi didn't even want to be apart of this stupid reunion.... damn. She should just disappear perhaps across seas? She had heard Lil had gone to look for some friend. Would it get her away from her family?

The baby had not heard Vynnessia as he disapparated, so did not plan his spell to lead her where he went -though he probably would have so that his sister could meet his friends. Unless she was more than adept at following it was unlikely she would be able to find the Fierra place blind.

As Atae opened the door Hemi smiled warmly at his friend, baby blues sparkling with delight. "Hello Atae!" The young adult male greeted warmly, chocolate tails wagging cheerily behind him. He wondered a bit at her charming blush, catching that something had certainly disarmed her. Her expression & inability to speak made him ponder the idea that the thought of someone had popped into her head and done this to her, for certainly they were only friends. Right?

Then he laughed as his cousin appeared, true to form & making the biggest entrance she could. "Hello Bryna!" Stepping forward he gave both girls a shared nuzzle as he offered his own head to his cousin. "Ride on me, Bryna! We're going to apparate & you need to stay close!" He smiled at Atae, his face getting a confused look as she started waving them off & shutting the door. "We will! & thanks! &... hey!" He pouted softly, putting a paw in the door to stop it shutting. Then he smiled with a slightly impish cast to his blue eyes even as he kept a smidgeon of his pout. "What's the hurry, Atae? We've gotta be going soon, but I wanted to know if you healed okay first. And the others wanted to let you guys know they said 'hi' and to thank you guys for trusting us with Bryna."

The look he gave her then was sweet and full of honest, caring, concern. No one could resist Hemi & his baby blues for long. (Except perhaps his sister Katsune & he suspected she was faking it.)


Back in the room the proud father answered the question posed him. "Anytime now, Vynnessia." A loving smile as he took in his young.

Liliana watched her siblings with a slightly forced smile and more than a hint of trepidation. Although she looked forward to this dinner the timing could not be worse for the femme, stuck in the middle of a love drama and having come to the conclusion that one way or another, she would make her choice tomorrow. Remus could see the ache in his eldest daughter and nuzzled her gently with a supportive smile before padding off to smile and check up on his other children. She ached sensing him go and wordlessly double checked the table setting while keeping an ear out for her mother in the kitchen.

"Nahanni." He welcomed his shy daughter with a nuzzle, respectful of her shyness and not staying any longer than it seemed she was comfortable before continuing his 'rounds'. "Ayako." He found her in the corner, a worried look in his dark eyes at this particular daughter hiding away like that. It did not seem normal. But he trusted she would come to him if she needed him and so did not pry. "You're looking lovely, daughter."

Padding from Ayako in her corner the wizard frowned at the plant his black furred & kimono wearing daughter had summoned. "Katsumi... I am pleased you are hear but I would rather not have that specimen here when your cousins arrive. I'm sure they can handle themselves, but that is not the point." He had his professor/father tone, though his eyes were perhaps not as stern as they might have been another evening. Today was a time to enjoy family. "So please Katsumi, retunr the flytrap." He caught sight of Romulus and Siggy then, surprised to see the beautiful & large female here but glad too. "I am trusting you on this."

Giving his dark head a rub with his own Remus padded over with glad heart to his oldest. Liliana's pain filled green gaze shot over too and she managed a smile for her elder brother, white and gold tails giving the barest flick to show her happiness at seeing him. "Romulus, my boy! You are just in time. But I did not realize you knew Miss Siggy." He smiled with warm welcome at their friend. "An honor as always, Miss Siggy. I hope you are not overwhelmed tonight."

Lost in her own thoughts, she didn't realise her father coming over to greet her. "Father." She nuzzled him, giving him a small smile, sensing his worry. "I'm fine. Thank you." The last comment was meant for his compliment, that she was pretty. Ayako had never thought that, not ever since they had grown. But since he had said so...Ayako found a hidden part of her heart quite pleased with this.

Watching Katsumi play with the flytrap, Ayako shook her head and grinned. She would never change, and Ayako had learnt to respect that. Se was the way she was. Still, at least she didn't seem as rude as before...well, time would tell.
