((I decided to get all three of my new adults grown in the same thread. Feel free to join, grow your own adults, or whatever.))
Srenai had known when he awoke in the morning that today was the day. Today he left behind this too small body and became the adult he'd felt like for so long. He tried to slip out without telling his mother, and he thought he'd been successful. So, he was surprised to find her waiting with her brother Heranai when he reached the Dryad. "You should have realized my breezes would tell me," Rensai admonished gently. "We want to be here with you." Heranai nodded with a smile, and Sren nodded resignedly. He should have known he couldn't hide from his mother.
Sonea woke earlier than usual, fully aware rather than foggy with sleep. "Mother?" she asked softly, hoping Sorka was awake as well. "Yes, Sonea? What is it?" came the gentle voice in the darkness. "We have to go to the Dryad," Sonea said, not sure where the compusion came from. "Now, we have to leave." Sorka nodded with a sigh. She knew her daughter was going to leave her care, and there was nothing she could or should do. "Then let's get going, we should be at the Dryad by midmorning," Sorka said with a smile for her daughter.
Dirsain yawned broadly. He looked in suprise to see the Dryad before him, rather than the mossy wall of the tree his family called home. "Interesting," he said to himself, staring up at the majestic tree. "I wonder..."

Siren slowly scampered over towards the Dyrad, her beady eyes watching the pykiin that now occupied the area. Her brightly colored pelt could be spotted from miles away and if that wasn't enough, she was humming a loud tune, happily nearly announcing her arrival. She offered a large grin approched.

Srenai accepted a final nuzzle from his mother and an encouraging smile from his uncle before turning toward the Dryad. He immediately saw a small opening between two of the roots that he'd never noticed before. With one more glance at his family, he slipped inside.
Rensai sighed. "My boy's growing up. Makes me feel old, hm?" She smiled at her brother, who as she knew had no kiin yet but was preparing for breeding season with his soulmate. "You'll understand soon enough."
Heranai nodded distractedly, his attention on a newcomer. He padded over to the female. "Hello, what brings you to the Dryad so early?"

Siren's eyes were glued on Srenai who was getting nudged towards the large tree. She's never witnessed a growing before, but have heard of them. She could hardly remember that she was a kiin. With hesitation, Siren slowly drifted her attention towards Heranai, a small smile playing on her lips. "Why, hello there. I suppose ya'll don't mind if I watch, do you? Great!" She pranced closer to the Dyrad, looking back at Heranai invitingly. "I'm new to the Valley, name's Siren, just wanna see what all this growin' fuss is about lately!"

Rensai had her eyes plastered to the Dryad's hollow, which closed up as soon as Sren had vanished inside. Nonetheless, part of her attention was on the others, and she was the one who noticed Dirsain. "Little one, do join us," she called over without looking.
Dirs obediently moved up beside her, realizing as he looked at the place the hollow had been why he was here. "I think I'm to grow today as well," he told her, glancing up.
Heranai gestured for Siren to join the group. "I am Heranai, this is my sister Rensai, and this I believe would be the son of a friend of ours, Dirsain." He looked to the kiin for conformation and recieved a nod. "This is Siren," he introduced her to the others. "And the one in the Dryad is my nephew Srenai, Rensai's son."
Srenai walked along the dark tunnel, wondering how far it went. It seemed longer than could possibly fit inside the tree, large as she was. Finally, tired from the walk, he reached the hollow. Laying down, he found a small, unbonded rodeli waiting. He opened his mouth to greet it, but was asleep before he could speak.

Siren flashed a charming smile in the family's dirrection, she was highly consumed with the growing of Kiin. She tilted her head, her smile widening. "Good luck!" She called out as Srenai dissipeared into the tree. Her eye flickered as he vanished. She quietly looked up at Heranai, "you must be very excited and proud."

Heranai laughed. "I'm just the uncle, it's Rensai who's bursting with pride over here," he said, flicking his tail at his sister. Rensai flicked him right back, still without moving her eyes from the Dryad.
Dirs shifted uncomfortably. He hated waiting, and now that he knew he was growing, he was getting nervous.

((... He will die XD))
A smile danced on to a dark Kiin's face as she watched a grey Pykiin enter the Dryad. "Was that a-"
"No." Harmony replied sternly to her father. "Now come, I might as well greet Sren as he comes out of the Dryad when we're here... And Heranai is there, you should converse with him. Were you not just telling me how it's been so long since you two have spoken?" She said, inching foward.
"Heranai? In that case, Let us move foward." He said, stepping in front of his daughter and leading the way to the Dryad. Harmony sighed, rollling her eyes, but secretly laughed inside. "Heranai!" Khairi said a bit loudly as he neared the Dryad. "I haven't spoken to you in a while, how've you been?" He asked.
Harmony patiently waited behind him, peering at the Dryad every now and then.

Heranai turned at the familiar voice. "Khairi, it has been a while." He moved to make space for his friend. "I suppose you know I got soulmated. I don't know how it happened really, but there it is." He shrugged helplessly- love was just like that. "And now little Srenai's growing up."
Sren lifted a head that felt unnaturally heavy. Shaking it slowly, he tried to remember what he was doing. He lifted his body up on clumsy legs and stumbled down a passage, into the bright sunlight.
"Sren!" Rensai burst out delightedly when her son appeared. "So grown up and handsome," she said proudly to no one in particular.

"Yes, Shomari told me. I'm still a bachaelor." He chuckled. "Congratulations, I'm so glad for you and Derva." Khairi told Heranai. "Ah, is he? Good for him. Harmony's just recently grown, too. Isn't she just lovely?" He asked, gesturing to his daughter with his tails.
Harmony half smiled politley, "Hello." She nodded. In the corner of her eye she could see a grey and purple male. "Well, it's about time.." She teased him. "Still getting used to your new height?" Harmony asked, watching him struggle a bit.

"Congratulations," Heranai said, nodding toward Harmony. "You must be very proud, she'd a lovely daughter," he said to Khairi with a smile. "Devra and I are looking forward to our first kiin this season. It's hard to imagine a time when they'll grow up."
Srenai shook himself all over and lifted his head more steadily. "Harmony, you've grown too! I was hoping you would," he confided, walking toward her. "It would be no fun to grow alone."

"That I have. I couldn't stand beeing strapped in a kiin's body. Every time anyone approached me they asked if I wanted to play. It was getting old." Harmony said, her tone stonish and cold as usual.
"Yes, I'm glad you're grown, too." She said, a bit quietly. "It would be odd to have been grown without my friend." Her voice cracked somewhat when the word friend was spoken.
Khairi smiled, looking back at Harmony, "Thank you, I feel I've raised her quite well." He said proudly. "Emery's back at the den napping." He said. "Oh you are? well good luck with that! It's quite the adventure, but I'm more than sure you two will make phenomenal parents."
