[Closed!] Well, This is Awkward (Vyn, FP)

[Kitty]

One of his little red lined ears twitched as it caught his sister's yawn, which made him yawn as well. He hadn't realized he was sleepy until just then, but that little round of play had definitely worn him out all over again, but he didn't really want to go to sleep either. His ears returned to a neutral position as he looked up at his pap and thumped his tail against the floor lightly, and that's when he got an idea. He crawled forward and moved toward the other canine's closest limb and set his head down on it, deciding that would make the best pillow ... especially since his siblings seemed to be hogging mama anyway.

Kat wiggled his body a bit and curled his tail around himself, letting his limbs relax as well as dropping his head down to set it on top of Tavor's, essentially flopping over top of his mother ... who definitely made a great bed. The excitement of the evening was wearing off and even he wanted to just .... go back to bed ... especially since it seemed that Nova would be falling back to sleep soon as well. It was hard to sleep if that sibling was awake.

Tavor was used to being slept, chewed and climbed on by now and just ... let them do whatever they pleased really, they weren't hurting anyone and it was rather cute actually, but he was still a little worried about the canine ... and didn't think it'd be that great of an idea for him to be alone for the evening ... so he addressed the subject in a soft voice and made sure not to sound overly concerned to disturb the half asleep trio.

You can ... stay here tonight. It might be ... good for you.

He'd been sleeping in here on the floor the last few days anyhow... so it wouldn't really be a stretch since there was an empty bed if the canine wanted it.

[Vyn]

Toli hesitated.

The offer was horrible and wonderful all at once. It was what he needed, really, but that he needed it at all -- to get away from Acher -- that killed him. Slowly the morganberry managed a weak smile and found himself nodding.

"Thanks, Tavor... I think that'd be nice." He gently scratched Nova's ear, trying to smile more genuinely. "I think I've become a pillow, too... so leaving looks like its out of the question anyway."

He glanced Tavor over, eyeing the way the kids just piled on him. They obviously loved him, and it wasn't hard to see why. Tavor was full of sweetness. "Can I help you with those two so you can get comfortable?"

Toli wasn't sure of the sleeping arrangements, but he would have been fine anywhere.


Vesper had fallen into a contented little sleep, little paws and whiskers twitching every so often.

[Kitty]

He was well aware of the fact that it was a touchy subject, but he genuinely liked the canine and didn't want to imagine him leaving here to wallow in uncharacteristic misery. He was prepared to be a little more insistent with his offer, but he didn't need to be ... the canine had come to the same realization, or at the very least... a similar one, to him and was agreeing to stay. He flashed the canine the best smile he could muster, which was a lot better then usual thanks to Nova deciding that Toli would make a much better pillow.

Actually... if you could move him ... that would be great.

He peered up at the still awake Brokat who was lounging atop his head and shoulders still, it wasn't exactly comfortable but he couldn't do anything himself except shake the boy off onto the floor ... and he didn't want to do that.


Nova was quite pleased to see that his new pillow wasn't going to protest and yawned again, this time wide enough to show off all those needle sharp puppy teeth, which made an audible click when he brought his jaws back together. Ok ... he was sleepier then he thought...

Brokat was quite pleased with the spot he'd found, it was warm, soft and had a good view of the whole room, well... a better one then the floor anyhow. He was sleepy as well... just not as much as his siblings it seemed.

[Vyn]

Anatolius glanced up at Brokat and chuckled slightly.

He would worry about his now unstable relationship come morning. Acher... Hopefully he'd calm down by then and everything would be alright. If not... He didn't really know what he'd do if not.

"Heh, yeah. I'll get 'im." Switching his attention to Brokat, he smiled warmly and laughed lightly once more. "Sorry, kiddo, but I got to move you for now." He leaned forward, careful not to disrupt Nova too much, and carefully plucked Kat off of Tavor's back. He made sure to activate his Club ability just in case the boy was a bit heavier than he intended -- didn't want to accidentally drop him, especially not on Tavor's head -- and lightly sat him down in his lap. "That work for you?"


Vesper opened one eye as the figures around her shifted. Making sure that none of them were coming too close to her, or that her siblings (Kat in particular) were alright. Was the canine guy going to stay?

[Kitty]

Brokat perked up a bit when Toli chuckled, his ears coming forward just in time to fully catch that he was going to be picked up. He was hoping the canine was joking, but... to his horror, he wasn't. Instead of fighting like any normal child would... he simply went limp and... entirely dead weight when he was grabbed and continued to be a jelly child for the time being ... he never intended on getting this close to the still strange canine and couldn't bit back the little whine that escaped his throat. He may not have been thrilled to be where he was, but he made no move to escape.


Tavor picked his head back up and tilted it from side to side, cracking his neck in the process ... it felt good not to have someone sitting on you. He peered over and Toli and nodded before addressing the sleeping arrangements.... even if the man hadn't asked.

There's an empty bed in the next room, the sofa and the floor in here if your inclined .... your pick. I've been sleeping in here, they seem to like it.

Nova wasn't exactly pleased about the movement of his new pillow, and less thrilled that his sibling got the better resting spot ... but he did nothing but shift his position and cuddle up more to Toli, giving another yawn as he did.

[Vyn]

Anatolius was instantly thankful he'd activated his club ability. The moment he'd attempted to lift Kat, the boy had gone entirely dead weight. Toli wasn't entirely certain as to how to deal with it, but so long as Kat didn't start wailing or flailing or... something, he assumed he wasn't too in the wrong.

Once he set Kat down, he shifted just slightly enough to let the boy know that he was free for movement whenever he pleased... Toli wasn't going to hold him captive unless he tried to sit on Tavor again. The rat-eagle mix had obviously needed the rescue, especially with how he was currently shaking out his kinks.

Sleeping arrangements... The canine's gaze slid over Nova and he frowned a little. Beds were definitely the more comfortable of the options, but he doubted that the bed was safe for Nova and the boy really did look very comfortable where he was. "I think I agree with you, to sleep with the kiddos." The canine stretched a little and smiled. "Though, if you'd like some reprieve, you can hit the bed." Toli leaned over, nudging Tavor without, he hoped, disturbing the little ones too much.


Vesper cracked an eye open as she listened to the conversation. Was the new man going to stay? Obviously yes... but she wasn't entirely sure she wanted him sleeping with them and Mama...

[Kitty]

He was rather surprised when the canine opted to stay on the floor with the kids, so much so that he couldn't keep his surprise from being rather obvious. His little white ears perked forward and he tilted his head to the side ever so slightly, tail tip twitching a bit to. He'd whole heartedly expected the canine to jump at the offer of a bed ... but he wouldn't admit that ... in words, his expression probably said it loud and clear though. After a little pause a smile found it's way back to his muzzle.

I think ... I'll stay. I do have a little bit of advice though...

He peered back at Vesper for a moment and batted at her nose lightly with his tail, he wasn't going to use the tip of it cause he didn't want to make her sneeze from the feathers... but he wanted to make sure she was awake enough not to be startled by what he was planning to do.

The floor is a lot more comfortable... if you shift down.

And that's precisely what he did. Once he'd shifted down into his little animal form he readjusted himself and wiggled himself up next to Vesper and tucked her under one of his wings before looking back over to Toli.

Brokat was slowly adjusting to being handled by the brightly colored canine, after all.... mama hadn't objected and he wasn't doing anything unpleasant to him and... oooh, the lap was rather warm. This man, papa he supposed he should start calling him in his head, had longer, softer fur then mama did and it was far more snuggly. He finally yawned, beak clacking together when he shut his mouth.

Nova, whilst rather comfortable himself, was just hte slightest bit jealous of his brother... who had managed to snag a prime sleeping spot. He loved being in people's laps... even if they didn't really like having him there. He hadn't really put two and two together that it was his wings that made things uncomfortable, but he knew it was something about him that did it. He simply peered up at Toli with perked ears and thumped his tail softly against the floor some more.

[Vyn]

Toli couldn't help but notice Tavor's surprise, and he smiled kindly in return. He loved kids and, honestly, he'd slept on the floor plenty of times in the past. Doing so now was no big deal, especially with a good friend and lovely kids.

Even better yet, Tavor was staying.

He didn't intend to take their relationship any further than friendship, but his company now would be absolutely reassuring. Toli was terrible about being alone when he was upset, and he really didn't want to make a scene around the kids.

Tavor's advice made a world of sense. It really would save him a great deal of kinks and, he imagined, give the boys more room to lay with him (if Brokat wanted to stay, that is). Slowly he nudged both Nova and Kat, warning them and easing them out of the way before he shifted down into his animal form. Of course, in grand puppy fashion, he then proceeded to sprawl out on the floor.

"You're completely right." The canine laughed pleasantly, laying his head on his paws as his tail began to wag.


Vesper opened both eyes once Mama had tapped her with his tail, and she slowly pulled back to allow the larger card to shift and get comfortable. Once Tavor had stopped moving around so much, Vesper inched back up against her mother and flopped down for -- she hoped -- more sleep.

The red canine, supposedly papa, was staying from the looks of it, which didn't make her too happy.

[Kitty]

Nova gave a little huff when he was moved from his rather comfy spot and flipped a red lined ear back as well. He wasn't pleased to be unsettled, but that didn't keep him down for long. Oh no, the first thing he noticed was that papa's ears were officially, almost face level and oh so tempting as well. He grinned, tail swaying a bit, and made a sleepy little pounce in an attempt to snag an ear but fell short and simply flopped on the floor. He stretched himself out and yawned, making a little canine squeak before settling himself as close to the morganberry as he dared ... he did have a little bit of knowledge that his wings hurt people and made them want to get away from him when he wasn't careful ... he just forgot quite a bit. however, he was sleepy... and his didn't want the canine to skitter off instead of being a fuzzy, warm pillow.

Brokat wasn't sure how he felt one way or another when it came to being moved, but he would remain nothing more then dead weight until he was set on the floor again. He peered over at Tavor and Vesper, then back over at Anatolius and Nova and was... torn. Thus he curled up exactly where he was set down and covered his face with his bushy tail, rounded little rat ears remained attentive though. If someone especially wanted him to snuggle with them well, they'd have to come to him.

Tavor curled his tail around vesper a bit more tightly before his set his head down on the ground and closed his eyes. He wasn't going to go to sleep right away but ... it was best to try. At least things wouldn't be quite so awkward in the morning... right?

[Vyn]

Vesper made a face upon realizing that Kat was staying on the other side of Mama, next to Nova and 'Papa'. The rat-mix scrunched up her face in reluctance but slowly untangled herself from Tavor's tail and sleepily dragged herself over the rat-eagle to flop between him and Brokat so that she could snuggle with them both.


Anatolius wasn't a grand fire master yet, those wings still a little warm and would probably get a tad uncomfortable over time but they weren't overly troublesome. It was easier for Anatolius to snuggle with the young winged canine than it would have been for most. Giving him a lick on the nose, he made certain to settle so that he could remain somewhat close to everyone without particularly crowding anyone that didn't want to crowded.

For Nova, he licked the boy on the tip of the nose and shifted his paws so that the puppy could come closer and use the furry limbs for a pillow.
