She moved from room to room explaining what she would like in each bookshelves and bookshelves and bookshelves, lounge chairs, tables, windows for light, the changes to the kitchen she had told Onyx once before, a sunroom, patio, porch, everything she wanted everything she had ever dreamed, she hadn't dared take them to the second floor she didn't trust the floors to hold them so she described them and what she would like to have done. By the time she was done she was exhausted and could only imagine how Shakespeare felt. She gave him an apologetic look feeling guilty for making him translate so much now that she was done at everything was in Vincent's hands she had a nervous excitement that creeped into her exhaustion leaving her with this odd edgy sensation not sure if she wanted to run for miles or collapse and sleep for hours

Shakespeare finished up with what the female was saying and smiled at the female before going on to watch Vincent type it all into his computer which, afterwards, he pulled up a design programme, connected his camera to it and uploaded the one photo of the room they were first in to the computer and started putting in some details of what she wanted and estimated the year of the house, and then waited for it to load before being shown with one room fully furnished as she wanted with 'old fashioned' colors and wallpaper on the walls, furniture in place which wasn't really that much. Mostly it was several book shelves, an old style writing desk and a couple of chairs that looked like they were back in the plantation days with a bay window having been placed in the room, facing what he would of thought would get the most sun since it was a front room with a window seat that, for a Kitsu at least, could lay down on and read and nice polished wooden floors with a large mat just in the middle "so what do you think?" Vincent asked as he turned the computer around to show her "this is really just a rough copy and we can change stuff if you don't like it but you have an idea" he said as the guardian relayed what he just said to the female.

(shakes doesn't need to translate what vincent says, they can still understand him)
Makoto's eyes widened and she tried to get closer to the screen, it was amazing! Just like she dreamed.. no even better than she had dreamed! She smiled ear to ear "It's perfect!" Her tails wagged happily now she really was full of energy. Normaly she was a clam collected and relaxed kitsu content to spend her time reading books from the moment she got up to the moment she fell asleep but all the excitment was building up in her and it had to go so where, she lept for joy spinning in a circle and dancing in place, she couldn't help it, if every room looked that amazing her home was going to be a place she'd never want to leave!

((Ahh ok, mah bad...still getting used to guardians ^^; ))
"You don't need to translate"Vincent said to the guardian "I think I can pretty much guess what she is saying" he said as he looked at the other two before saving the room so he didn't lose it "if you will excuse me" he said getting up and walking outside "I will be back in a sec" he said as he put Shakes on Onyx's head as he passed and continued on outside to make a few phone calls.
"So...I guess you like" he asked rhetorically, smiling at her.

She smiled ecstatically "if the whole house is as wonderful I'll never have reason to leave!" she twirled again "he is amazing thank you Onyx!" she rubbed up against him in appreciation this was one of the few times her emotions were running away with her, it was new and strange but she was so happy she didn't care

"Because staying inside is totally healthy" he said sarcastically but with a joking tone as he nuzzled her a little back "your'e welcome" until he sighed "you realise you are going to need to help to pack all the books up and put them into boxes don't you?" He said looking at her, unless she wanted them ruined as the house gets redone they were going to have to be put into storage along with anything else that was valuable.

"oooh you're right... where will I get all the boxes?" she paused, she hadn't thought about that part.. and where will she sleep? What will she read while her books are boxed? Where will the boxes be kept? She was starting to get worried now, how long was this going to take? Would her books be safe for that long? She sat with a thump questions racing in her head her excitement replaced with worry "where will we put them?" she shifted her weight uneasily

Vincent walked in as they were talking about the stuff they had to pack and put the phone into his pocket "well I have good news and bad news" he said as he sat down and picked the guardian up and cuddled him, stroking his little soft head "the good news is I have enough favours owing to me that I can basically get all the help I need to get this place back to how it was and make sure it is structurally sound so it will be safe to be in and I am not sure if you have a human guardian or not but if not you are more then welcome to stay with us if you want, I can make up one of the spare rooms, I have enough of them." He said, wondering about the area of the house, it was rather hard to get to "though as for the area of the house we are not sure how we can get to it, we are going to need a crane and a bulldozer in here at least but given the placement of the house and all the trees and everything we are not sure how we can even get things like that here, it just isn't an easy place to get to" he said, wondering how to go about this as the removing of bookx/boxes/whatever will be easy, he can get a couple of friends in to help with them or, at most, get a wagon or something in to help cart them back to his place but the important part is getting in the big machines to help take out debris and what not.

Bulldozers sounded scary and she wasn't sure about hauling all her books that far it was quite a walk and adding heavy books on top of that? But she liked the idea of bulldozers and books even less. She looked to Onyx for his opinion, she really didn't like the idea of moving everything to her humans, it was over run with kitsu, so Vincent's seemed to be her only option... but bulldozers? She sighed, she was going to have to trust him for her house to be repaired, she could see how the path up here would be difficult for the equipment and she could only hope the path was wide enough "you can clear out the trees if you need to, just save me one please"

Shakes relayed what she said and Onyx looked at her and then back at Vincent, thinking about matters before looking at her again "well the books will be safe, Vincent will take good care of them and make sure everything is removed that you want removed before bulldozers come in and everything so everything will be safe and carting them back to Vincent's won't be too hard with the right people and wagons and what not but as for the trees...do you really want them removed? I mean, your home would be exposed to all...then again, is he allowed to even remove the trees? I mean, wouldn't he need a permit or permission or something?" He asked curiously as Shakes relayed everything so far to the human.

Makoto didn't know anything about permits, who would approve them? What government was here to decide? If he needed them for trees wouldn't he need them for the house itself? Could she claim the house as her own if there was a government out there requiring permits? Would her human have to claim it? Could she afford it? Would she insist on moving in? Yes she would.... Makoto could lose everything... "I only want them down if it helps with the construction, just the ones in the way" she lowered her voice worry laced through it "does he really need a permit?"

"Well I don't know, is this not public land? If you owned the whole of this land then you would have permission to do whatever you wanted to it but given that you would be cutting down what could be public land that was owned by someone else then wouldn't that end up being against the law or something? You can't just cut down trees on someone elses land but we don't know if the humans around here that own us can own parts of this land either." Onyx sighed and sat down, maybe this was too big a job after all, if Vincent has to get a permit who knows how long that would take, all that red tape would be a nightmare to sit through also, he may not be able to read but he did know about permits and zoning laws and the like, he had heard his humans friend more then enough time, he had some what become a pro in this sort of thing now thanks to him whereas it just goes over Vincents head but still, in this case, maybe it was best if they spoke to him or else this would be too much of a big job and might not get done because of it.

"Woudn't we need one for the building then too? Wouldn't it belong to someone? Would.... will I lose it?" She sat looking pleadingly at him to tell her everything would be alright she wouldn't lose anything.. why did he have to bring this up? Was this all a horrible mistake? Will she need to start finding a new place to live? Why did he say anything at all? She looked up at her house in her minds eye she could see all the books inside, her treasure, her friends .. she shouldn't have told.. shouldn't have shared.. now she could lose it all. She went inside and collapsed into her makeshift bed surrounded by her books... so many she hadn't read she sighed and got up went back out side she wasn't going to let it happen she'd fight for it if she had to, she wasn't much of a fighter but she'd do it if she had to.

"The building possibly could be alright, it is so run down that if the person who owned it actually cared about it then wouldn't they at least have not let it get to this condition? But Vincent could do a background check on that, for all we know, they one who owned it is dead and never actually left it to anyone, in that case you might be able to keep it depending on what her or his will says, if anything" he said as he looked to the guardian "can you please tell Vincent to give his lawyer friend a call please? And ask him to ask his friend to look into plantation houses around here and if any were once owned and if so was there any will left behind or not" He asked as the guardian did as he was told and Onyx looked back to Makoto. "As for the land...well, that would probably have to be looked into as well but that might be a little bit harder so we will tackle this first and then we will deal with the land, how about that?" He asked her, hoping that she would be fine with this, after all, given how vast the kitsu world is not one single person or Kitsu could own the land right? Granted, if he could read, he probably would be able to read up on the Kitsusagi history and learn whos who that was running this place or not running this place or if they were even allowed to get bulldozers and what not in here or if the land was sacred or whatever else but hey, he didn't and right now he was starting to think that maybe he should just come clean, she could possibly have a book on the laws and history of this land that would be good but if he asked her to look through it, not really knowing what to look for well...it would probably have her question him and then it would end up being the worst way to tell her given this was a big project they were now starting on which meant stress and worry to be had by all.
Vincent listened to the guardian and nodded before walking outside to give his friend a call.

She frowned furrowing her brow, it didn't make sense buildings came with a certain amount of land whoever owned the house owned the land around it, plantation owners had huge plots of land... if there is an issue with one there should be an issue with the other... how much did he know about property laws? It just didn't seem right. She shook her head and decided she would wait for what vincent's friend said no use getting herself all worked up over nothing "so... boxes.. know where we could find some?"
