Due to recent events that no one truly hopes for, Linneas finds himself at the Legends HQ. He is nervous and a little fidgety for coming to a place he has been to but once and that was as an infant. He doesn't remember the layout of the location, nor does he remember who it was he met. Frankly he doesn't even remember being at the Legends HQ. His thoughts and attention had been more focused on the Stationery store his adopted mother runs with his adopted Uncle.
So why was he here?
A gurgle from the bundle in his arms reveals the answer.
"We're here, we're here." He murmurs fondly to his little sister.
Ever since Paestri received that sealed locket in her dream, she had felt more awake and energized. Not only that, but she wished she could see Gyre again and show her the locket, the way the older Legend had shown her the mask. While a little nervous about meeting new faces, Paestri was more than willing to encounter other Legends.

( *jumps in* >> )
Glaring up at the ceiling where his new keeper was ''standing'', Loki only removed his gaze from the ninja girl as he heard someone enter, and sneered at seeing they had a baby.
"Who''s the brat?" Asked Loki, acting innocent though clearly showed that he wasn''t.
"Loki." Kanth murmured in a soft but warning voice, and he went back to staring at her. "Hello... I''m Kanth, and this is Loki. Please excuse his behaviour, as we''re both going through a rough time."
Snorting, Loki crossed his arms and looked away. He didn''t want to meet anyone new; he wanted to sit in his room and thinking about where Ruri was, what she was doing, and how he was going to see her again... it almost took place of Lola.
Almost.

A protective aura seemed to envelop Linneas upon hearing how Loki referred to Paestri. He had heard "brat" being mentioned before, but the tone used had been affectionate, it was different from the one the Legend used.
"I'm Linneas, and this is my little sister Paestri." He introduced, trying his best to remain smiling. Ever since that night, he had been having difficulty in keeping his temper in check. He had never felt like this when he was younger.
"And I'm sorry to hear about your situation." he added with sincerity.
Paestri coo'ed at the mention of her name as her icing pink eyes moved from Kanth to Loki. She cocked her head to the side, curious about the not-as-big-as-mama person that was looking away.
"Wai?" she asked to no one in particular.

"She''s very cute," Murmured Kanth, her eyes lightening for a moment as she glanced at Paestri. "They seem to grow fast, don''t they?"
Loki glared, clicking his tongue against his teeth. He saw Linneas falter, and a small smirk graced its way onto his lips. "Nothing to be sorry about... not as much as that thing you''re holding." His eyes shifted. If he was suffering, others would suffer as well.
"..." Kanth looked away. She had been so out of it lately, and hadn''t been reprimanding Loki like she should have. What would Ruri think..?

"I don't really know, Pae's only been here for a short while." Linneas replied to Kanth.
The teen definately did not like the way Loki was talking about Paestri. He shot the young boy a brief but severe glare and wondered if he really was doing his little sister a favor by bringing her here.
"Someone sounds like they need a nap." he casually murmured.
Paestri was not comfortable with the tone her older brother was using. Especially since she has never heard him speak in such a manner.
"Lo'ee?" She asked, trying to figure out if Loki or Kanth were making Linneas cranky.

Snorting in disgust, Loki crossed his arms and returned the glare for a moment, before looking away. He wasn't really in the mood for a fight.
Dropping to the floor, Kanth walked up to Linneas and gave a small, but sad smile. "May I hold her? She looks adorable."
Loki stared at her, baffled. She had never given him a chance like that, nor bothered to speak to him for the last few days. They had both been off in their own worlds, and all he wanted to do was watch the rain and think about Ruri.
It pissed him off, her acting like this.

The teen quirked a brow at Loki's reaction to Kanth's request. It didn't use to be in his nature to make others uncomfortable, but then again, Lynn wasn't running around his mind more. Linneas looked a little tentative, almost possessive of his little sister but decided that Kanth didn't look like the sort who meant his sister any harm.
"I suppose so," He nodded, carefully handing the pink haired Legend to Kanth.
Her brother hadn't answered her question, this she attributed to the fact that he rarely understood her words. Hardly anyone at home did, but it didn't bother the infant. She cooed and giggled, and outstretched her chubby hands towards Kanth upon realizing what her brother intended to do.
"Lo'ee!" she gurgled, hoping that she would eventually get to see the other Legend up close and find out if he tasted like Prana.

( *smirks* xDDDD )
Cradling the infant gently in her arms, Kanth gave a small smile and reached under Paestri's chin, tickling there very lightly. "Pink is a cute color on you," She cooed.
Loki glared, and turned to leave, but was stopped by Kanth's outstretched hand on his shoulder. He muttered something without turning around, which was ignored by Kanth nonetheless.
"At least try," Kanth said softly, holding Paestri out for Loki to look. Loki finally turned around and grit his teeth together, giving a defeated 'fine' and sticking his hand out over the girls' body, as if to grab her.
He was more gentle, however, as he put his hand softly on her chest, peering at her with only a slight bit of interest in those hyena eyes of his.

Linneas almost winced when Paestri gurgled Loki's name. He felt the boy didn't mean any physical harm, but still he wasn't quite comfortable about the idea of Paestri being so close to him.
Paestri giggled at Kanth's touch, she was a very ticklish infant and enjoyed tickle sessions with her mama. When she saw Loki turn to face her, she clapped in delight. Would this other Legend taste like Prana?
The moment he reached out, Paestri curled her tiny fingers around one of Loki's. And she was greatly surprised to find that he did not taste like Prana. He tasted... different.
Very different.
Again Paestri could not identify what this taste was, but the flavor made her sad. Was Loki also sad? And if so was it because he tasted like that?
"Wai?" she asked, icing pink eyes wide in concern and curiosity.
((Paestri thinks Loki tastes like Loneliness if Kanth is curious n.n))

( *loves it* n_n )
Everything around Loki was forgotten as he stared at the baby within Kanth's arms, his eyes narrowing in confusion. She made that face at him; did he do something wrong? What was her problem? All he did was touch her.
Loki, however, didn't pull away; he stayed there with Paestri's fingers curled around his own, a strange emotion crossing his face as he remained standing there, his tail flicking once as if he was being very patient.
It had been a long time since anyone had touched him like that.

Paestri tilted her head slightly and cooed. Given Loki's silence, the legend assumed that he didn't know why he tasted that way either. Or maybe he was like Prana and was unable to understand what she was saying? Both were possible situations, and she thought to ask again.
"Wai?" this time with her free hand she pointed to her tongue, allowing the pink organ to peek out ever so slightly from her mouth.
"No, Pae, you can't taste Loki," Linneas stated, misunderstanding his sister completely.

Raising an eyebrow, Loki blinked once. Twice. And thrice. He didn't understand what she was saying at all! It both amused him, yet aggrivated him to the point where he very nearly couldn't stand it.
However, he withdrew his hand, crossing his arms and looking away. He wasn't going anywhere anytime soon, and that left Kanth to speak on both of their behalf. He didn't, however, expect her to suggest something completely different aside from them leaving at that point.
"...Would you like some tea?" The hyena boy turned, his golden ears perked up in surprise.
He still didn't have her figured out.

"Tea would be nice, I'll look around for some," Linneas smiled and exited to look for the HQ's kitchen. Though part of him wondered if he should have stayed with his sister, just to be safe. Huni would murder him if anything happened to Paestri, then again, she would die of guilt if she did anything to hurt Linneas. Such confusing protective natures his family had.
Paestri felt Loki's finger slip from her grasp, not to mention she didn't even get an answer from him. At this point, Paestri finally figured out that bigger-than-Paestri-people didn't understand the way she asked, maybe if she tried to talk like them it would be better?
"Wai Lo'ee tayst li'e dat?" she gurgled.

( Amigooosh, I can't get over at how CUTE she is xD )
Blinking owlishly at her, Loki ran her sentence over and over in his mind until he finally got it, and looked back at Kanth, who sat down with Paestri still in her arms. He kept staring at her to get her attention, but she still seemed to be off in la-la land, which made him snort in disgust.
Loki turned his attention back to the pink haired... girl thing. "Taste like what?" His eyes narrowed, and his hyena tail flicked once as he remained in thought. There was no reason for it, and he didn't know why, but he just felt... drawn to her, as if she was calling to him, to stay.
The hyena boy most certainly didn't like this feeling; it reminded him of Lola, far too much.

(( 3nodding I know, and it just comes so naturally to her heart ))
Finally some progress! Maybe she should start talking like the other bigger-than-Paestri-peoples. But right now, Paestri had more pressing matters to attend to! Like how was she going to explain to Loki how he tasted like when she wasn't able to idenfity it either.
Her brows knitted together in a mimicry of Loki's own expression, and her lower lip jutted out as if in a pout that he didn't know what she was talking about. However, her eyes softened, and the sour pout turned into a sad, almost bitter frown. Her face stayed that way for all of five seconds before she brightened and reached out to him.
"Li'e dat!" she declared. Apparently the face she made was her explanation of the so-called "taste."
