Welcome to Gaia! ::

Juniper ~looks at her brother for a moment and the grumpiness seems to ease and she nods~ I guess your right Rowan

Sommer - Oui, she iz going to inzult someone in power. Her name iz Rodanza and who iz she going to blame when her daughter iz cuzzing like a sailor? Us.

Robin: ... You might have a point there. We'll tell her to not swear around her mother... or her grandparents... so long as she does that, she's allowed to speak how she likes? What do you think?
Rowan: Could you sing again, Juni? I'll sing with you~ *flutters his wings rapidly, he doesnt have the talent that she does, but he enjoys trying and chirping as Robin does*

Sommer: If my mothzer hears zose words coming out of her mouth..~he shutters~

Juniper: Hmm..~considers how her brother mostly knows bird song~ Oh, I know. Today I saw a Blue Bird, a Red Bird, and a White Bird! ~she cycles through each bird, whistling like a bluejay, chirping like a cardinal, and then cooing like a dove. She's quiet for a long moment, staring at a flower in contimplation, and begins to sing a melody that sounds sad, weaving in chords of the dove, cardnial, and bluejay~

Robin: *his ears perk at her lovely singing voice* Well we shall tell her to use her other talents... *chuckles and grins at him, since his male mate is so prone to bouts of worrying*

Rowan: *his eyes light up and his face splits into a wide grin as he listens and watches her weave her song, he adds in following the melody and keeping pace, but clearly doesnt have the natural talent that she does*

Sommer: Oui, let'z so zat her Mothzer isn't short one daughter and two matez..~relaxes at Robin's smile~ Zough, with her voize and her looks, I am zinking zat she will be very popular..~tilts head, looking at Rowan, smiles~ Zat iz also a very handzome son we have...

Juniper: ~ends the small duet and takes a few lungfulls of air~ You're not back Rowan ~she wags her tails~ Almost as good at Padre

Rowan: *sways his tail and paws at the ground* I just do it cause its fun, thats all... *looks at her with bright eyes sparkling* Not like you Juni! You're amazing! 8D

Robin: We will have to be beating the various herla off wiz sticks? *he grins further, attempting to adopt Sommer's accent for a moment, but failing* At least, until they are older~ Then we beg them to take our brood out of our hair! Yes?

Sommer: ~laughs~

Juniper: ~ears perk~ I heard Padre and Pere!! PADRE!!!! PERE!!! ~says both with perfect accents to both, realizes she's basically shouted right into her bothers face, winces~ Ahhhh...sorry Rowan...

Robin: *joins in the laugh, smiling happily now that Sommer's mood seems to have lifted, he stands and trots over to meet Juni and Rowan as they come*

Rowan: Pere, Padre~? *backs his ears but otherwise doesnt mind the shouting turns and prances over to Sommer, nuzzing his father's chest and forelegs* Pere! Did you hear us singing? Juni knows so many songs~

Sommer: Ah zere you two are. Your mothzer waz concerned! ~by which he means, they were all concerned. He leans down and nuzzles Rowan's cheek, noses a few strands of his bright red hair out of his face~ and oui, I did hear ze zinging. Vous and your sizter zing very well togezer. Maybe your Parde wil join in az well..~gives Robin a teasing girn~

Juniper: Padre! Pere! I have a question..

Robin: *trills at them* I would be happy too, but I think fair Juni would out sing me as well. *tilts his head at Juni* What is it princess?
Rowan: *giggles at Sommer and then goes over to Robin to nuzzle and nose at him as well, fluttering his wings restlessly, his long tail swaying back and forth*

Sommer: ~please dont ask about boys, please don't ask about boys~ Oui, pleaze azk anyzing...

Juniper: Is...f*ck...one of those bad words?

Sommer: ~his eyes widen a bit and his head drops~ Oui Juni..zat would be one of zem...How about we keep zese...wordz...to yourzelf. Your Padre and I would like to live long enough to zee you and your brothzer's grow up..

Juniper: ~tilts her head~ huh...?

Robin: What your pere means is, these, 'bad words' they are not to be used in polite company, that is, not around your mother, or other such people. We do not want you offending the wrong person, your mother, would be, rather, upset with us, if she was to hear such language, while you are still a little girl... Do you understand? As I hope your guardian does as well.... *knows how difficult it can be with a nasty guardian whispering in your ear*

Rowan: *doesn't get it, but nods none the less, as it seems like the right thing to do and he always wants to do whats right*

Juniper: ~eyes wide, nods~ I'm sorry Pere and Padre, its just that my guardian says f*ck every third word. F*ck this, F*ck that...

Sommer: ~ears back, winces~ Juni, pleaze practize ze non speakin of zese wordz now...

Juniper: OH! Oh...right. Hah. ~smiles brightly and flutters her wings, then tilts her head thoughtfully~ But...Pere, Padre..what dose..that f word mean anyway that makes it so bad?

Sommer: Zat iz a queztion zat your Padre can anzwer bezt! ~smirks at Robin, nibbles affectionatly on his son's ear~

Rowan: *giggles and headbutts Sommer's legs, playing and being silly, all the while happily flapping his wings*

Robin: *is silent for a moment, figuring just how to word this and save their hides* Its is not the meaning that you must worry about my princess. *shakes his head as he speaks gently to her, nosing her curls* It is just that it is rude. You do not want to come across as if you do not care if you offend others. Just as you would not steal things that do not belong to you, or abuse your brothers or your friends. Do you not agree?

Juniper: ~is looking very disatified with this explination, and her ears swivle and perk as if she's listening to something, opens her mouth, thinks better of it and closes it again~ Si Padre..~her tone is a little sulk, presses aginst Robin's chest~ I'm sorry Padre ~flashes her eyes and flutters here lashes at him, soft pout~

Sommer: ~smirks at Robin, chuckles both at the fact that Robin artfully dodged that question and Rowan's playful nature, nipping at his son's ears, wings, and tail as he weaves in and out of his legs~

Robin: No need to apologize dear heart. We love you very much, and no not want to see you hurt, this is the only reason we are telling you these things that we do not wish for you to do. When you have grown you will find that you have much more freedom to choose, but while you are still small, we must guide you, so that when your time to decide comes, you are making wise decisions. Ok? *he licks her face and noses her ear in attempt to get her to laugh, or at least giggle, he grins at Sommer again, his expression as if to say 'if this is the worst we must deal with, I'm ready to face it full on'*

Rowan: *Stops being silly and listens* Padre is very smart. *he comments very softly, his voice as usual isn't loud, but still audible, he goes straight back into playing, butting Sommer and dashing around Juni to hide behind Robin, his long tail wiggling all over*

-gigges softly, nuzzles with her Padre, touches his nose with hers and then is instantly distracted by her brother's tail whipping past her , she noms at the tip and chases him behind Robin~

Sommer: ~chuckles and walks over, nuzzles into Robin's cheek~ Good dodge zere handzome, since you're so good at ze queztions, when she askz about ze differenzes between ze boyz and ze girlz, and ze birdz and beez, you can feild zose too..

Robin: *nips at Sommer's ear* Ha~ Do not think that you will get off so easily my heart~ Perhaps Rodanza can answer those questions best for our girl, but our boys will need a male perspective, yes? Just because you are the most handsome hart, does not mean I will let you keep all of your opinions to yourself, you can butt in at any time~ *he chuckles as he's teasing, a bit serious too, but preferring to take the light hearted approach as he can, licks Sommer's face and noses him his ears follow the sounds of the fawns*

Rowan: *squeals excitedly, his voice barely raising in volume as he dashes clumsily away from Juni, chirping and trilling in happiness* Catch me~ Can't catch me~

Juniper: ~chases Rowan around Sommer~ Ring around the Pere! ~giggles, shortcuts under Sommer's body and bites onto Rowan's tail~ GO FOO!

Sommer: Ahhh pawn ze girl off on her mothzer with zose queztions! Brilliant! I may be good looking bout you are ze smart one! ~he laughs, moves his legs into different positions to try and trip the fawns up~

Rowan: *between Juni catching him and Sommer tripping him, lands on his face and whimpers pathetically, not having fallen before, he's not hurt, but rather shocked instead* Ah~ *whimpers softly*

Robin: *tries to dodge out of the fawn's way but has his attention on Sommer instead of more full on the kids, he lightly pokes his male mate in the chest* It is not 'pawning' Sommer, rather, I am, thinking that that would be best, yes? I do not think that I am so much smarter- Oh! *he lowers his head and tugs at Rowan* Get back on your feet now~ *isn't very comforting, but not to be mean*
Rowan: *has tears in his bright eyes* But padre, I scraped my kneees~ *sadface*

uniper: ~runs right into Rowan, hits his backside and tumbles over him, lands nose first into ground, blows a snort of dirt out again and giggles lightly~

Sommer: ~leans down and licks at the little scratches on Rowan's knees and nudges him in the side~ Oui, Padre iz right, you can get back on your hooves..you are a ztrong young man...

Rowan: *keeps whimpering and sad face, despite knowing better, but after standing and Sommer licking the tiny wounds he backs his ears nodding and trots over to Juni to nose her, see if she's alright*

Robin: *whispers to Sommer* And I half expected you to disagree with me there? Not that you have to of course~ I have a feeling that that one is going to be, very soft hearted no matter what we tell him...
Rowan: Are you alright Juni? *nearly whispering as he noses her, asks even though she is giggling*

Juniper: ~gives her brother a huge smile and nuzzles into his cheek~ Yeah, I fell down a lot so far..~is looking at him upside down, laying on her back~ Besides it's like Padre and Pere say, your the strong one! ~says this with a lot of praise in her voice. She rolls over onto her side and chirps like a canary~ besides if you arent strong we can't play anymore...

Sommer: ~says quietly enough for Robin to hear~ It iz strange, for our sonz, I feel zat zey are already very strong and sturdy but zey still seem small and fragil..and for Juni zis iz all I see dezpite zat she iz very capiable...

Rowan: *nods, giggling again and nuzzing her back* Okay, I won't cry when I fall down then... *he lays on his belly next to her* I don't feel very strong... but if you say so. I still want to play with you! *chirps and sings with her, sniffing away his hurt*

Robin: Of course we see them as tiny and needing our care. They are. They do. *he smiles* That does not mean that they are helpless, yes? If he had actually come to some harm I would have been on my knees beside him.

Sommer: ~Watches the two fawns~ It really iz amazing zat ze three of uz made zese little creaturez. ~he grins, nudges into Robin~ I bet zat you were zis adorable when you were zat old.

Juniper: ~continues to twitter and chirp for her brother untill his sniffles stop. Then she leans down and nips his nose playfully~ brroothhherrrrrr brrrotthherr don't crryy...your siideee i'll always be byyyy...

Rowan: Promise? *he whispers earnestly, smiles and noses her back, and then leans against her*
Robin: Wasn't I? *he laughs* I can hardly remember those days, my heart... My guardian was so restless and angry back then, he wanted that I listen to him only, and I did... for too long I did.

Juniper: Your my brother..we hafta stick together..~curls up with him, yawns and chirps softly~

Sommer: ~has a sad smile on his face~ I remember zese days, with my siszter and ze othzers..and now I am watching my own kidz. Ahhh I feel old now! ~he chuckles~ I have turned into my mothzer with ze moaning about ze age!

Robin: *noses his cheek* You don't need to worry about turning into your mother until they have little ones of their own, Sommer~ *lays his ears back, just in case he's inherited his mothers shrieks as well*

Rowan: Ok~ *giggles and yawns and goes back to laying his head on her, making tiny consistent chirps as they rest*
