Family Comes First

[Ebony Adara]

Aiyana walked along the padded down grass pathway. She stopped at a tree and clawed at it. Her fur was wet from the morning dew and her eyes were drawn from lack of sleep. She stretched her body and kept walking, hearing laughter and fun. She stopped at a pink pykiin, who was playing with a little green kiin. Aiyana smiled and approached them. Maybe it was a small world after all...

Fera looked up from a small attack from Tarumaro. She flicked her ear and watched the green and yellow pykiin approach her. She rose up from the ground and Tarumaro rolled on his side and shot up quickly to see who it was. Fera heard the green pykiin say something along the lines.
"Hello, may I ask why you are out so early?" She asked as she bowed her head down quickly.
Fera smiled, seeing no harm.
"My son was yearning for fun." She nodded.
"Fun...nice." Aiyana frowned immediately and looked at the pink pykiin again.
"Ma'am, anything wrong? or troubling you?" Fera asked.
"No, just wondering what your name is." Aiyana answered sternly.
"Fera." She said, looking at the pykiin with mysterious eyes.
"Fera...Fera!" Aiyana's face glowed with a giant smile."Fera!!"
Fera chuckled, half scared and half curiously.
"Yeah...my name is Fera."
Aiyana hugged her and Fera looked at her curiously.
"Um, who are you?"
"I'm your sister! I'm so glad to have found you!" Aiyana said, soft warm tears coming from her eyes.
"...Sister?"

Taromaru turned his head to the side, confused. He looked beside him and nudged the sleeping Cleva. She stirred but stayed asleep.

Doveva pawed the ground and Auriel grumbled. "Ew, blueberries are squished all on the ground." Auriel complained.
"So disgusting!" She went on with complaints as Doveva hummed her voice out. She bopped her head as she hummed and then finally stopped at a big bunch of flowers. She took in the smell and pounced in them, only her many tails sticking out as she walked through the trail of flowers. Auriel followed, not able to be seen in the giant flowers.

Pex giggled silently as he poked Yang with a stick. Yang grummbled and rolled over."Come on you dumb rainbow furball! Let's get a move on!"

Yang grumbled sitting up."Alright, Alright I'm up."
"Finally!"said Pex poking Yang with the stick one more time.
"Hey, can I have your stick for a sec."
"Why?"
"Oh just let me see it!"

Pex handed Yang the stick. Yang after taking the stick broke it into pieces."There now you can't poke me!" he said throwing the broken stick to the ground and standing up.

Pex looked at Yang with a shocked face."Hey!"

"Oh get over it! Now come on."said Yang stretching and exiting the den closely followed by Pex. Yang and Pex stopped by a pond and got some fruit and water before Pex climbed aboard Yang and they took to the sky. From above they could see nearly the entire valley.

Something caught Yang's view. Some pykiin down below. Gently he flew down and landed a few feet away while to female pykiin were hugging."Hi." he said."I hope I'm not disturbing you,but my name is Yang and this is my bonded Pex."

Tevis walked through a meadow enjoying his day free of baby sitting Thorenth. It had been so long since he had been to the meadow. He took in all the scents when an interesting creature caught his eye. He looked over to find a pykiin... atleast he thought it was a pykiin. It had many tails unlike anything he had seen before. He curiously approuched the creature."Hi. I'm Tevis." he said."And you are?"

[Ebony Adara]

Aiyana departed from her long lost sister and bowed to the upcoming male.
"Nice to meet you, I am Aiyana and this is my sister, Fera." She smiled.

Fera turned around and picked up Taromaru. "And this is my son, Taromaru." She rocked the kiin in her arms.

Cleva jumped up and pounced on Fera's head, and then started to mess around with her hair.
"And that's Cleva." Fera giggled.

Doveva looked at the pykiin and smiled. "I am Doveva, and this is Auriel." She giggled and smelled a flower near by. "These are beautiful flowers, aren't they?" She suggested for a conversation.

Shiranui was out in the Valley, learning more about his new home. He had been quiet lately, ever since telling his story and bringing up painful memories of his past, but he was also eager to distract himself by studying this beautiful Valley and making new friends.

Of course, there was one friend in particular that he would like to distract himself with...

Shiranui shook his head at his foolish thoughts and picked up the pace. He wanted to see more of the Valley and choose a place to live. A friend had told him that the Pykiin had different homes all over the Valley, living wherever they chose. He wondered where he would like to live. The Valley was very different from his previous home, the rain forest. His new den would be very different from his old one.

As Shira walked he heard voices ahead, and immediately started walking faster as he recognized the voice of Doveva. He stepped past some trees and immediately spotted the beautiful brown Pykiin female talking with a small black juvenile.

"Doveva!" Shira called out, grinning happily. "I'm glad I found you." He trotted up to them, bowing to the juvenile in greeting.

Auriel heard a few paw steps from behind. She turned her head, and was hit in the face by a sunflower. She blew the seeds out of her mouth and pounced off Doveva's back.

Doveva perked her ears up and turned her attention to a familiar, kitsune. She smiled and turned to the flowers. She looked down at Auriel, who was spitting out the last seed.

"Hello, Shiranui." She smiled. "It's always good to see someone familiar." She bowed and Auriel pounced back on her back.

"Stupid, sunflowers." She grumbled, and scratched behind her ear. Her attention came to the kitsune who just arrived.
"Well, hello there, big boy." She said, not cracking a smile. Auriel leaned back and pretend Doveva was a lawn chair. She crossed a leg over the other and tapped Doveva.

"Yes, dear?" Doveva said, turning her head to Auriel.
"I'm bored, let's do something fun."
"When has fun become a subject of yours?"
"Since I found the word boredom."
"Ah, well, I dunno what fun technically is..." Doveva looked at Auriel with confused eyes.
"You know, like laughter and stuff that is exciting."
"Really?"
"Yeah, Doveva, this is what happens when your an only child." Auriel rolled her eyes. "You never find out what fun is."

[ryuukokoro]

Shira took a seat next to the beautiful Kitsune, politely waiting for her to finish her conversation with the little creature on her back. He wondered what it would be like to have a small companion like that. Someone you could rely on to help you and stay with you... But he had already proven that he couldn't protect his friends, hadn't he?

Shira snorted softly to himself. That kind of depressing thinking wasn't going to get him anywhere. Instead he tried to think of something he could say. Maybe he could make a suggestion? But he didn't know what they would enjoy doing... "What do you consider fun?" he asked the Remiel.

[Ebony Adara]

"Me?" She pondered. "Well, we could play in the water. Tag, hide n' go seek, or maybe some tick tac toe on the trees. There are many things for fun, maybe play wrestling too." Auriel went on. "There could be some game where we pretend, or climb trees and jump like monkeys!"

Doveva widened her eyes at Auriel. "that's 'fun'?"
"Duh."
"My..oh how about we let Shiranui choose the game of fun." Doveva said with a smile as she shifted her weight with Auriel falling off and hitting the ground.
"Ouch..." She growled.
"Oh, I'm sorry dear." Doveva picked Auriel up again and placed her back on her back.
