Life, Love, and a Sappy Otter [Finished]

[Shinigami]

A love bite?! That was positively a gnaw! ...though it was hard to get anything too difficult going, considering that all of them were babies, and thus didn't have anything approaching the set of adult teeth that Vessatha generally used to chomp on Quinn during times of displeasure. Still, the warm-happy place against his mother made everything better and, far away from his chompy-sister, he finally fell asleep for good, joining Chiari in a state of utter insensibility.

When Dysthymia cried out, Quinn nearly panicked; at least Aphasia had had a concrete reason for crying (his sister had chewed on him), but what had set off their lovely little Jack-child? Had she done something wrong? Was he hurt? Was he sick? Did he think the necklace completely and utterly clashed with his fur, and he wanted nothing to do with it whatsoever? Then he settled down once more, and she relaxed, because apparently whatever it was hadn't been enough to bother him for very long. This panicking over people thing was far too unsettling for the otter who normally didn't care how people reacted.

"I think that they should! Eventually, at least. Because the one would look so pretty on Chiari, and Saethre needs something, because all pretty ladies need to have jewelry to wear. I'd buy you something as well, but I wasn't sure if you'd wear it, because you do have several lovely necklaces at your home, and I didn't want to get you something you wouldn't like..." Quinn practically purred that last bit at Vessa; if she had her way, her lovely one would be bedecked in as many jewels as she could find, but she had the feeling that the ferret would merely toss them all aside for something far more practical. "And so if they have pretty things, I wouldn't want Aphasia to feel left out!" she concluded proudly.

Suddenly she noticed Vessa's dilemma, little Saethre all alone with no one to cuddle up to, and the otter eased her way on to the bed to offer the other Kahmden-mix something warm to sleep against.

Saethre began falling into an actual sleep, a light sound coming from her that could either be a snore or a purr--did otters purr? Either way, it was difficult to hear, and didn't prevent her from gently chewing on her brother like some puppies chewed on their toys.

Dysthymia made a face of displeasure as his mother suddenly panicked on him--must she move while being confused? Still, as soon as she realised nothing was really wrong he settled right back in with one paw absently curling around the fur on her chest.

"Well." Vessatha paused to glance over the two remaining children that had no adornments, or wouldn't have. Saethre really would look adorable if she had a bright blue necklace of some kind to go along with her fur, and Quinn really was right--if they got something for Sae, Aph might feel left out once he got older, so they'd have to get something for him.. "I guess so, sure." She replied musingly. "They would all look adorable with necklaces.."

The ferret didn't bother to comment on herself wearing a necklace--why would she bother? They were generally hindrances, not to be used unless it was a special occasion. Anyways, with four small children running around now, necklaces of her own were only likely to get broken from grabby otter-and-ferret paws.

It seemed that, finally, all four children were finally settled down into sleep, no unexpected noises or weird faces bothering them at any point. That reassured the Joker to no end, and she relaxed next to Vessatha on the bed, easing her legs out slowly so that she was practically sprawled on the sheets, though she made sure that the ferret had more than enough room to move however she might want to. Eventually she'd probably return to her normal, pushy, fairly oblivious self, but for now she was doing her absolute best to pander to her obsession's wishes, whatever they might be.

"Don't you think? I'll start looking around as soon as I can, so that they'll all look wonderful. So very, very wonderful, yes," she practically purred to herself, rocking Mia slightly to ease him to sleep. To her surprise, she suddenly yawned as well, and then stared blankly into space as she tried to figure out just why she'd yawned. She was tired, yes, but it wasn't like she'd really done all that much. Vessatha was the one that had given birth, and the babies had been born; she'd just stood there and served as an outlet for whatever pain there was and as encouragement. But still, she was tired.

"Go to sleep now, dear one," she murmured to Vessa, sure that, if she was tired, then the ferret must be absolutely exhausted. It was time to sleep, yes. They could deal with everything else later. Despite her own orders though, she couldn't help one last wondering touch to each of the children - they were real...
