Welcome to Gaia! ::

The note left in his mail box had been quite confusing, partially because the letter addressed to his brother had the name "Baka" on it, but mainly because the letter had also been addressed to him. And Pryderi never got mail. Well, he had once, but that had been Chibi's doing. Honestly, the tanuki thought he was stupid enough not to know who had subcribed to a porn magazine with his name. Jeeze.

Midori snorted softly, the slowing of his pace indicating they'd reached their destination. Good. At least it was close. Pryderi hated going on long rides. The deer boy dismounted the stag, letting Midori as he pleased. Approaching the door to "Aileen's" house, he knocked softly on the door, twirling a few strands of his bangs around his index finger.

The door was pushed open and two people stepped through. A brown haired teen, and a kitsune child, who, while his hair was normally a bright orange color, now seemed to be colored blue... For some incrediably odd reason. The two of them stopped talking and focused in on the girl. The elder boy cussed slightly under his breath, the raised his voice, "Chaco, you'd better not have brought yet another thief. That girl last night was a pain."

The blue haired fox boy started to open his mouth when his ears twitched. He shut it and sneered, "I'll get the door." With that he left the room and headed toward the front door. He yanked the door open, and stared out at Rayne, "...Good timing... I guess... The chocolate freak is in the living room, if you want to know."

His focus then shifted to the deer boy, and he narrowed his eyes. Oh good grief. If Chaco had summoned this one here... It had to be Kunny's influence. "They're in the living room. Feh." With the the kitsune turned on his heel and retreated back into the mansion.

Pryderi let Rayne go ahead of him, saying nothing as he didn't know who she was. He wasn't the best at conversation starting. He did, however, notice the look Solo gave him. Wait a minute... Solo?! Then that must me. He was at Aylee's house. Crud. Chewing nervously on his bottom lip, he headed inside the house behind Rayne, moving towards the living room (and most preferably a dark corner.)

"Uhm..." Chaco said again, "Uncle Kunny can you--" the chocolate boy began as Rayne entered. When he spotted the woman, his face spilt into a grin, "Rayne-sa!" He moved over towards the woman, "I didn't think you'd come today. Thank you!" Having her here would make it easier to speak. He turned back towards Kunny, "Uncle Kunny, can you get me... How about Strawberry? She'd be good for this." He grinned cheekily as his uncle scowled at him, then moved into the lobby. He turned to look at the girl again, "I'll explain it all in one minute." He nodded silently at Lividie as the woman entered the room, "Hey, Miss Lividie."

Of course, as Kunny did so he almost bumped into Pryderi as he exited the room. "Eh... Uhm..." The assassin immediately started to blush. It was an automatic reaction, as he hadn't seen Pry in a few weeks now. Immediately he pulled the deer aside, so that the girl who Solo had just let in could get into the room, "Uhm... We'll talk in a few minutes. Go into the living room, okay?" With that, he departed, headed for yet another room of the house. He might as well pick up DC while he was getting Strawberry.


(bunch of posts I missed while I was at dinner >> )

Kunny pushed his way back into the room, and nodded at Pry who was in the corner, "I brought Fish, Strawberry, and Dark Chocolate. I figured this girl," he nodded at Nychii, "would be getting either Fish or Carrot, and Fish was already awake, so I--" he stopped as he spotted Lividie, "What's that thief doing here?" he hissed.

Lividie pulled the blanket half way off Aard, so he had freedom of his hands. She turned into a sitting position, placing Aard down beside Yukito. He was interested in the toys, but he was more interested in Yukito too.

Lividie glared at Kunny as he entered. She took a dagger from the headband, and precisely aimed it next to his head. She sent it flying through the air, towards whatever was behind him. "I'm here to do that," Lividie stated. Aard didn't seem to mind this; he was watching her throw slimmer things with feathers at the wall the night before.

Kunny didn't move an inch when the dagger was thrown, but let it fly past his head with ease, "If that was supposed to scare me, you're way off base, miss thief." He turned around and pulled the knife out of the wall, holding dark chocolate securely in one arm. Using his free hand he threw the dagger back to her, it landing upright in the table by the couch she was sitting in, excatly where the china bowl the woman had taken had been located, "I'd like that bowl back, by the way."

Chaco made an attempt to ignore his uncle and Lividie, "Er... They're a really light pinkish color..." He ran a hand nervously through his hair again as Nychii up and left with Fish. It was hard delivering these children when his uncle decided to make such loud disturbances...

"Wasn't supposed to," Lividie pointed out, irritated. "I no kill. If I want, yes. But can't. Only demons." She placed the dagger back in her headband. "Bowl? Haha. You buy new bowl. Plenty of money, huh?" She herself was broke. She didn't want a job, either. Almost everything in her house was stolen, or purchased using stolen money.

Kunny raised an eyebrow, "Well, I do have money when I have work. But right now I'm busy babysitting my sister's children, and so it's a bit difficult to get about doing assassination jobs when you're trying to make sure one doesn't accidentally kill himself and the other doesn't let thieves into the house." He narrowed his eyes at her.

Pryderi didn't expect to run into the object of his affection so soon, his blush mirroring the assassins. Kunny was back then. A part of him wanted to give his boyfriend a kiss, but considering the number of people there, he shied away from the idea. "Um.." Not knowing what to say (or do, for that matter) he began twirling his bangs around his finger again, not sure what he was supposed to do. Kunny's intructions took a moment to process, allowing himself to be moved out of the way so other people could get by. Where was he going again? Living room. Right. Slipping quietly into the room, trying not to attract any attention to himself. This feat was rather hard, considering he did have a pair of antlers and a deer day. Jeeze. Choosing a seat that was a safe distant away the others gathered in the living room, he curled his knees to his chest, waiting for Kunny to return, from wherever he had gone. While he was waiting, the deer boy listened absently to the conversation that was going on around him, not catching much that interested him. He didn't recognize anyone either, besides Solo, which didn't make him feel any less unsociable. His ears perk slightly as Kunny returns to the room with Fish, Strawberry and DC, figuring that one of them was what he'd been sent to retrive. He moved to get up, not expecting to see a dagger fly past the assassin's head. Where had that come from?! Pryderi gave a small, unexpected squeal, hand flying to his mouth as soon as the sound had left his lips. Oops.

Kunny rolled his eyes and cleaned out his ear with his free hand, "It mays well. And I DO have my morals, thank you. I don't kill unless I'm being paid, for one. And it had better as hell be a pretty hefty amount." He definitely had his morals. He'd never take a life for less than the house he was standing in had cost. With the exception of his elder sister, and that's only because Channa had paid him five dollars, and Dreas deserved it. If he DID accidentally take a life he wasn't meant to, he'd kill himself. "Anyway, what I do for work is none of your business."

"Still, killing bad." Lividie pointed out to Kunny. "Find other work. I care. You kill, you worse then demons." She stared at Chaco as he came over and scolded them. She wasn't going to put up with this either. "I don't care! You shut up. You know nothing of life. Don't even take life if they took other life." She stalked off to join Rayne and the two babies. She sat down with them, and gave both Chaco and Kunny a disgusted look.

Pryderi's eyes drifted to Lividie as she criticized Kunny's job, noting the dagger that had been thrown close to her. So she was the one who threw it. Shivering slightly, he made his way cautiously from his corner towards a seat closer to the assassin, hoping that Lividie didn't have any more daggers to throw at him. Unlike Kunny, Pry was not skilled at dodging anything, and the thought of being hit by a knife really wasn't all that appealing.

He paused suddenly, gold eyes on Chaco as he scolded the bickering pair, deciding not to interfere. The boy could have his say. Beside, Pryderi partially agreed with him. Daggers were dangerous to those who couldn't dodge them. The deer boy did, however, speak up for Kunny. "There's nothing wrong with his job." He said softly, feeling slightly safer in his seat than wandering towards it. Fiddling with the hem of his shirt, he waited to see what would happen next.

Chaco opened his mouth to protest to Lividie, when the woman turned and stalked back over to Rayne. He knew nothing of life? He knew nothing of life? He created life! He was a breeder, and a prince, and he knew better than anyone the value of life! To see your entire kingdom being wiped out, and to know that you were it's last and only chance to keep it from dying out completely. How DARE she assume that he knew nothing of the value of life!

Kunny shook his head and turned from Chaco. He knew what the kid's internal monologue was likely to be, and he didn't want to be therecipient of the boy's wrath. Thus, the assassin moved past Pry to where the deer boy had been sitting. He sat down on the edge of the chair, not saying anything. Pry had had trouble dealing with the assassin thing, too, come to think of it...

Pryderi continued to play with the hem of his shirt, watching as Kunny sat down on the edge. Shuffling over to make room for the assassin, he patted the spot he'd just made. "Sit." Hoping to at least break the silence between the two, he leaned his head on Kunny's shoulder, mindfull of his small antlers. The angle allowed for him to speak to his boyfriend quietly, so as to keep their conversation somewhat private. "You know I don't think that way, right?" Pryderi mumered, just loud enough for the assassin to hear him. The last thing he wanted was Lividie's attention drawn to their conversation.

Kunny looked at Pry, then slid down into the spot that the deer boy had made for him. He nodded slightly, "Yeah, I do..." Finally he realized he was still holding the third chocolate Sin'aeis child, "Oh... That's right, this child is for you... Well, technically, he's for your brother to take care of, but... Well, I sort of figured you might be a bit more responsible......" he trailed off into silence.

Pryderi smiled slightly as Kunny affirmed his statement, glad that at least the assassin knew the deer boy was on his side. Assassin or not, he still respected his boyfriend, and he wasn't going to make any comment on his choice of making a living. Kunny's next comment made him blink, peering curiously at the child in the other's arms. So this was what the note had been about. He gave a soft chuckle, carefully reaching out to touch the blue scales on the boy's head. "I'm flattered that you find me more responsible than my brother." Pryderi says impishly, finding the Sin'aeis child rather interesting.

Kunny leaned over and kissed Pry lightly on the cheek, "Well, from what you've told me about your brother he reminds me of my sister on sugar." He smiled slightly, then pressed the Sin'aeis into Pryderi's arms, "You can name him, if you like, or allow your brother to. It's entirely up to you."

Pryderi laughed quietly at the comparison, glad the atmosphere had lightened a little. "You should see him when he starts blasting Ryuichi Sakuma and eating ice cream. Everyone takes cover." Returning the kiss, he carefully took the Sin'aeis in his arms, taking a better look at the boy. He was cute, with his little patches of blue scales and pointed ears. The deer was reminded vaguely of Amata, but pushed thoughts of the little demon child out of his mind. "I think I better wait. Chibi might shoot me if I name him. He likes to let Jahara decide...crazy fox."

Kunny smirked, "Heh. My sister's a lot like that, unfortunately. Good greif, I've had to take her CD players away more than once. For some reason she listens to nothing but japanese music." the assassin rolled his eyes, "Do you know how annoying that is?" He tought for a moment, then looked back at Pry, "Who's Jahara?"

Pryderi nodded his head sympathetically, grinning. "But does your sister know the words and sing to is, is the question." He had a funny feeling that the two had far more in common than they knew about, and made a mental note to keep them far, far away from each other. If they thought in the same manner, Pryderi and Kunny were officially doomed. A Chibi-Aylee tag team meant nothing by chaos, disaster, and lots more chaos. The next question made his smile widen slightly. "She's one of the five half-animal, half human children that my brother keeps bringing home. Jahara's half fox, kind of like Solo, only she's sweet. She's real bossy though... she wouldn't let me back in the house the day after we got snowed in at the HQ."

Kunny shut his eyes and groaned, "Oh god. Yes, yes she does. And she tries to do it as badly as she possibly can, just to annoy me. I've woken up so many times in the morning to her skreeching at the top of her lungs, trying to be an annoying as hell alarm clock..." He opened his eyes and looked at Pry, "And she had horrible habits for bringing random children and creatures home. It's why I bought her this place. I was sick of having to sleep on the floor in her old home."

Pryderi couldn't help but laugh at Kunny's description of Aylee's singing, glad that his brother had a decent enough voice. Besides, the music was usually loud enough to drown him out. "The two of them will be the end of us someday." The deer boy said with a small grin, knowing that the statement was quite true. Kunny's next statement made his smile soften, knowing that feeling all too well. "I share Chibi's bed with him, as well as a full grown deer that thinks he's human. At least Midori doesn't move in his sleep." Chuckling softly at the memory of the day he had been told that Midori actually slept in his brother's bed with him, he brushed stray bangs behind his ears. It was nice to be talking with Kunny again. He'd missed the assassin.

Kunny rolled his eyes, "Oh, I'm sure they will. Not to mention Aylee's always forcing me to babysit for her. If she's not the one to be the death of me, it'll be one of her children." He smirked slightly, "I used to actually share a bed with her when we were younger. But back then we lived in a really small house, and didn't have much money. That was around when I decided to become an assassin..." He reached over and brushed a finger against the ear of the sleeping Sin'aeis in Pry's arms.

Pryderi chuckled, nodding in agreement. "Yeah...crazy siblings." It was funny how the topic of conversation usually was Aylee and Chibi. Come to think of it, they hadn't really discussed much else. Even though it was always complaining, it appeared to be a topic of comfort for the pair. Cute. "You know, Aylee asked me what I saw in you... at the HQ once. I think she's afraid that I might hurt you." Glancing at his watch, the deer boy cursed. Maru wanted him back before lunch time, the merman not to pleased with managing the children on his own. "I promised Maru I'd be back by now" Standing up, still cradling the boy in his arms, he leaned forward to give his boyfriend a soft kiss. "Hopefully I'll see you again sometime." Smiling, he headed for the door, whistling for Midori. Hopefully Maru wouldn't mind the new addition to the family
