The Idle Nature of Ghosts [Nat]

[Nathalia]

"Ah, but your awful reputation is such an endearing factor, Osias."

Finistris teased, stroking his son's ears. He was truly in a good mood. He didn't want to leave here, he wanted to stay...with his Clan. With his Osias and his Morpheus...not go back to that sulky other half of his. Not back to a place where he was still considered to be less real than the man who owned their body...their prison...

The look of smug satisfaction that crossed the Rat's face was a bit much...Finistris loved that expression...the rat was taunting him back...well then...

Gently hefting Morpheus off his lap and onto the floor with a soft muttered.

"One moment..."

He swept over to Osias and placed his hands on the Bipeds' shoulders, pressing his nose into the fur of the Rat's neck, as Osias flipped through the book.

"Perhaps you can't, Osias...but neither of us can manage to leave this wretched world of half-existence either...we all have our own...specialties."

He muttered in the Rat's ear, fingers tightening on Osias's upper arm.

"I don't keep coming back to see you do cheap tricks anyhow..."

Finistris turned to his son, delighted by his self-assured words.

"I'm sure that there will be...it's a hard concept to grasp, but you already seem to understand the part of it that requires determination...I will be quite delighted to see when you have done so, Morpheus..."

At the teasing his smirk broadened a bit and reflected in his eyes, all previous frustrations pushed aside. He hadn't felt this good in awhile, especially in the most recent past. However, here and now, with his lover and his son, everything just felt so much better, so much more like how they'd been years ago. And as much as Finistris didn't want to leave, the rat certainly didn't want him to. He also didn't want himself to wake up, which would certainly remove him from his mind as it always did. It was a 'weakness' the rat both adored and loathed at the same time.

Idle musings were chased swiftly from his mind at the tough however, and his fur involuntarily bristled at it combined with the sensation of words brushing through the fur of his neck. his attention slid from the book to the only person who'd ever managed to be more then just a one night stand and the tip of his tail twitched as he tried very hard to not simply melt under his touch. The words into his ear didn't help matters much either.

Some feeling of unknown origin caught in his throat as he considered briefly what was said in that last sentence and he spoke softly without really thinking much about it, just running with the feeling.... it was such a strange and sudden desire.

You know if I knew how I wouldn't hesitate to help you escape....

He felt mildly foolish for a moment, but the feeling dissipated swiftly and wholly at the quite obvious innuendo that soon followed, causing the rat to simply grin like a fool.

I know why you do... and might I add I rather enjoy it.

Morpheus was a bit annoyed that he'd been set on the floor, having been entirely comfortable and happy monopolizing his father's touch, but was also aware of the fact that he couldn't, realistically, expect to hold his entire attention and thus merely resettled himself on the floor and curled his tail around his form. He peered over at the chair for a moment, almost as if to affirm that it was still there, that just because Finistris has risen and moved that it hadn't disappeared. When he looked back however, he quirked a brow at his parents.

They were acting rather strangely and the youth wasn't quite sure whether a question should be asked here.... or if he should be embarrassed or not.

[Nathalia]

The sensation of the fur bristling between his fingers was delightful, and he twisted them lightly making small tugging motions to see if he could get Osias to come away with him for a bit. He wanted to make sure that he was able to enjoy his mate for a bit before the Rat woke up and was dragged back to the world of the living....

You know if I knew how I wouldn't hesitate to help you escape....

Those words...they were something that Finistris had been waiting for...his Osias. His Rat, would let him out...oh good...someday...he would take him up on that. He would find a way out...he knew.

"That is something I can't deny having desired to hear, Osias..."

The man muttered, gently kissing the Rats' neck and then moving further forward so that he could plant another light kiss on the other man's cheek.

"Someday I will find a way...you will be the first I alert to that fact, myself and Morpheus...we will be free of our prisons someday..."

Finistris was not at all adverse to public displays of affection, especially not in front of his son. How else was Morpheus supposed to figure out how to treasure and care for...and desire...his own Clan someday, if he didn't see his own parents enjoying themselves?

He watched his son;s curious expression.

"Do you have a question, Morpheus? I would be only too glad to answer..."

He murmured, continuing to run his fingers through Osias's fur.

[Kitty]

Osias was more then happy to oblige his lover, even more so that it had been awhile since he'd seen him and as much as he enjoyed his company there were things about the man he much preferred. At first the only real return of affection he gave was with his tail, guiding it lightly over his leg and keeping an ear on his words. And, however distracting he was being, Osias managed a reply, turning his head slightly to get a better look at Fin's rather handsomely structured face. Before he spoke he lifted a hand, running clawed fingertips over the pale flesh of his cheek, his voice just as convicted as their child's.

And you shall be, trust me.... you will.

He had longed to have Finistris at his side for quite some time, in his own realm, but really it held every detail of being quite the opposite even if the rat gained the rank he was working so hard to attain. The other man did, indeed, make him weak but at the same time it was a strength... in a way it had been a driving factor upon their first meeting. But it would matter not in the long run, his Finistris would have the freedom he so desired, and his son would have a life better suited for a child and Osias could not a downside to that. He wanted more then anything to share his realm with the two most important people in his life, and he would.... no matter what it took.

So lost in his own thoughts and the charms of his love he'd truly forgotten Morpheus was even there.... but it didn't bother him much at all either. This is how they were and Mo should certainly get used to it, and it simply wouldn't due to have to hide it really thus he let his gaze settle on the small lowlander, waiting silently to see what it was he would ask, and what the answer would be. Whilst waiting he moved closer to Finistris, pressing himself lightly against him.

Mo's ears drifted back a bit as he watched, filled with a cluelessness that was clearly reflected on his face. He hadn't realized this little fact until his father spoke up and he focused his attention solely on him, knitting his brows a bit.

Why are you acting so.... strangely?

[Nathalia]

The claws on his cheek were delightful...someday he would be free...he would have forms other than the one he wore, like his other half and he would be free to wear and use them when he desired. He would always favor his Human form, he knew...but the freedom...that would be something...

The tail sliding over his leg was nice too, though it brought to mind things he longed to do that he would not do in front of his son...

And you shall be, trust me.... you will.

The words sent a shiver through his body that only the Rat would notice...he would hold Osias to that promise...whether the rat knew it or not. They would be out someday...sooner than later...someday.

The fact that Osias seemed to feel this way about him in return filled him with an emotion that he refused to allow to heave itself to the surface...but it was one he had not felt since he had first come into existence. His Clan...he would never really leave them, he couldn't now...they were his. He felt himself being pulled closer to the Rat, and curled his lanky body into the motion.

His eyes fell on his son and he locked vision, loving the expression on Morpheus's face...he would learn.

"It isn't something strange, it's simply something good. You are far more fortunate than most to have parents who care about one another...it's good to show that care every now and again or the relationship may go stale. I would so hate for things to fall apart, I've grow quite attached to the two of you."

He would let Osias elaborate if he felt the need, but soon he would have to drag the Rat into another section of Osias's mind...damn but the Rat was good with that tail...

[Kitty]

Osias supposed to boy's question was feasible, it wasn't like the boy Had any other opportunities to become accustomed with an affectionate display. Hell, it was a learning experience for the rat as well, his own parents had never really been all that affectionate to one another and it wasn't as if he'd ever really been shown much himself in the past, beyond the obsessive Heart whose advances he had never, and would never, return. It was foreign, but it was really rather nice.... rather nice to let your guard down fully around someone as well. No one wanted to be a paranoid sociopath all the time.

And that shiver was simply delightful....

As Finistris spoke his hand, or rather a single digit, traced his jawline before moving further up so that he could grip some of his hair between his own fingers, he did so love this man's hair, and gave a gently tug to the captured lock. He was pleased with the explanation and couldn't find a point to elaborate on himself, he wasn't very well versed in the subject anyhow, but he did have a suggestion for Mo so they could.... be alone.

Mo.... why don't you practice a bit? Your father and I have some... catching up to do.

Morpheus mulled the thought over a bit before he felt just a touch, well, grossed out. They were his parents after all, anyone else and this sudden realization wouldn't be so disturbing, but yes, his parents were a different matter entirely. One brow remained lifted as he regarded his mother, thinking that idea was quite a good one really and nodded to him not saying a thing, he really didn't speak much did he?

[[ OOC: Mo has more question now for Fin once his attentions are being monopolized XD ]]

[Nathalia]

(OOC: Yay! <3)

Finistris practically purred at the attention, liking the way that the Rat traced his jawline and tugged lightly at his hair.

He loved the fact that the Rat appeared to trust him...he wanted that...he would break people for it, should there be the need...as it was, however. he was content to let the rat's fingers curl into his hair.

Osias's words drew a smirk across the Human's face, thin-lipped and showing no teeth, but still broad and somewhat evil looking.

"A good idea, Morpheus, I'll see you again soon. If you have any questions, make sure you hang onto them, I would like noting more than to answer, remember that."

He left Osias's side for a moment, disentangling himself with slight difficulty and moving over to kneel in front of his son. He ruffled the boy's ears again, then reached out to gather him up in a hug.

"We will meet again shortly, Morpheus. It is very good to meet you, you are an exemplary son...anyone would hope to have one such as you." Finistris murmured, before letting him go and standing again, moving over to Osias and beginning down the black hallway to the left.

He then turned to the wall and stuck his arm through it, twisting suddenly and violently, tearing a hole in it, until it became obvious that he was creating a room...with a large paneled door.

He turned to the Rat and raised an eyebrow...an obvious invitation if ever there was one.

[Kitty]

Osias had needed someone to trust and Finistris just happened to have come around at the perfect time to completely capture the rat and, should he ever feel the need to break him that's precisely what he would do. The lowland half of his family was indeed blessed to be so lightly touched by the disease that plagued their lands, but they hadn't gotten away without a price, insanity in one form or another had deeply engraved it's self into the bloodline. That 'break' would be the last one needed for the rat to go completely off the deep end much like his mother.... although she'd been crazy before.

But that thought had never crossed his mind and he was perfectly content to take a role that was very close to being the man's pet. He, however, did not feel like he was and probably wouldn't have minded if he did. Finistris was an utter delight and he was certain they had very similar interests outside of the bedroom, he had delighted watching the rat maim and kill a man after all, which made him crave him all the more.

He was mildly saddened as the other detached and moved away from him, lowering his arm back to his side once the last of those glorious blue tendrils slipped from his grip, and watched the exchange silently, but pleased none the less. A pleasant, fangless smile graced his own muzzle, he couldn't believe how well things were going, he couldn't have asked for a better meeting between the two.

Morpheus couldn't help but role his eyes as his father agreed, the feeling that they were trying to get him to leave them fully alone creeping up to his mind. For what he would not ask, he very much did not want to know, at least that's the vibe he got from their tones.

And then his father was near him again and he was pleased, but as his hand came forward to ruffle his ears once more he lifted a paw and playfully swatted it at before it connected. He watched the man from below his hand, listening to his praise and sending him another of those delighted, thrumming trills as he was.... hugged? He was uncertain at first, but returned the gesture as best he could in this form before watching him walk away, and watching his mother soon follow ... which got a shake of his head this time around.

The rat watched as Finistris moved away and arched a brow for a moment as he tore at the wall and the resulting hole.... odd. However he wouldn't stay in the dark for too long and the thought brought a rather sly smirk to his muzzle once again. The silent invitation was enough to draw him in and he crossed the room to the newly created one and placed a hand on the other man's chest briefly.

[Nathalia]

Finistris had an inkling that the Rat could snap someday...he dearly hoped this wouldn't occur for quite some time though...if ever. He preferred his Osias sane and...able...

He did however appreciate the way that Osias bent to him, he often found himself craving the Rat's caresses when he was confined in the caverns of Varestes's mind...someday he would have the freedom to seek out his mate whenever he chose to...

The slight bat he got from Morpheus's paw made him smile and he allowed his son to see the grin...good. While it was good that his son learn affection...it was good that he also learn that affection was only for one's Clan...others were worthless...he would learn...

The feel of Osias's claws on his chest was delightful...he would have more of the Rat on him in a few moments...that was enough to make the Human squirm slightly and pull at Osias's fur. Tugging him into the newly created room, containing only a bed and very thick walls...

If the rat wanted to talk for a few moments he would allow it..but he would prefer to talk afterward...

Once he had backed Osias toward the bed, he would remove his tie, throwing it in a quick loop arond the Rat's claws...

"It's been awhile...Osias..."

Finistris murmured in the Lowlander's ear, hissing through his teeth and letting his broken off bron rings rake lightly across the others' side...

((We can skip ahead to after the sezzin' if you want <3 Then they can chat it up a bit...and bite each other XD))
