"Oh! Well I guess that makes it more of a girl's name then.. but doesn't that mean you have a girly name then, Brokat?" His grin under his mask was so wide that it caused the thick material of his mask to squeak.
This Vesper girl sounded like a trouble maker. His ears swiveled uncertainly. He never considered himself a frigid rule abider by any means.. but he never went out of his way to get into trouble. There was obviously more to this mixed heritage rat than met the eye.
His gaze went to Zether. He hadn't noticed the kid until now.. but it was a wonder how he had. He looked to be a mix of so many things he couldn't tell what he was, but he was pleased that he wasn't the only one with a base white pelt. Most interesting though, was that... stuff... floating on his body. They looked a bit like wings... kind of like that fiery looking kid had, but then again it looked more like wispy trails of thick fog to him than anything. What would it feel like to his long, sensitive fingers, he wondered? So absorbed in his own thoughts, he didn't realize he was staring.

He made his prancing way over toward the cookies or, at least, he started to. He got about halfway there before the fact that his sister was on the couch seemed to fully materialize in his brain. Cookies forgotten he launched himself forward and took a flying leap back up and onto the couch, turning his body midair so that he wouldn't slam face first into the back of it. Instead his rump hit it and his front end dropped as he assumed the play position again. If Ze wouldn't play, maybe she would? So he called her nickname is a rather.... sing song voice and gave it a try.
Vespi ... let's play!
Ah yes, he was one of those who called her that and was completely clueless to the fact that she didn't like it much, same as Brokat and him calling him Kat. He also seemed to lose sight of the fact that his brother was on the floor and he'd yet to really notice the long fingered boy that was there as well. He was too busy trying to con Vesper into playing and was even using one of his best puppy looks to do so as well.
Brokat looked obviously surprised at the boy's comment about his name being girly. To him Brokat didn't sound feminine at all ... then again his opinions on that matter would be a little ..... off. After all, the only 'feminine' figure they had also wore the title of grandpa. Not to mention the fact that momma was interested in roses, and he was a well, he so .... he wasn't entirely certain.
I don't ... think so?
And then they were on the subject of that mask again! He was beginning to feel as if his efforts would all be in vain but then someone else piped in and .... thank the suits he was on his side. He sighed lightly in relief and made his way over to the .... canine? He wasn't entirely sure what the boy was, but he was most obviously the kind that thought like he did. He gave him a friendly little tail wag and an odd looking smile, having a mouth that was half beak and half muzzle made his facial expressions a little off.
And then Vesper was making another comment, and he was completely ignoring his wiggly brother now.
Vesper! |

Zether stared at her in a manner meant to make her feel stupid, then held up a paw to his face, resting it just below a set of bright blue spots. "Really, do I? I wonder why!" He said in such a sarcastic manner that would have made his Aunt proud, had she heard it. "As for rules, they're only meant to be broken when they aren't going to kill someone, don't you think?" The puppy said snottily, not above belittling her when she was being so blatantly stupid. Why should the kid take his mask off, for their entertainment? Sure, Ze was curious to see what would happen, but he really didn't want to see the kid die either. His curiosity didn't have to be satisfied.
He rolled his eyes, only to move his gaze over further and notice that the long-fingered one himself was staring, rather rudely. The hybrid briefly glanced at his back and noted that yes, his 'wings' were still present. Fudge. He edged closer to Mikael, staring right back, then suddenly snapped his jaws loudly in his face to get his attention. "Hey. Finger boy. Stop staring, you're just as freaky as I am." Zether snapped, then rolled his eyes and moved to sit up against the side of the couch. He had no interest in playing, he really didn't - all they would do was freak out when they touched him, anyways.

Cas's desire to play did not go over well for Vesper. She was entirely determined not to move and make her rot more noticeable and bounding around with Cas would not help her situation any. She was quite content in her corner. Thank you.
"Not right now Casi..." She was abruptly cut off by an odd combination of her brother's scolding and Zether's sudden outburst.
And here Vesper had thought that she was being snotty and rude... Well then, she had nothing on the King of Snot with his disgustingly gooey looking wings. The rat wrinkled her nose, sneering at the boy in the most unladylike of ways.
"You don't have to be such a snot about it. Wasn't like I meant to insult you!" Vesper might have been an instigator or a rule breaker or what have you...but she wasn't one to directly insult someone. Not about something like that. Both Mikael and Zether were weird enough to make her skin crawl, but she hadn't dared to say such a thing.
She, however, also wasn't going to defend Mikael. Vesper preferred to fight her own battles and simply assumed, for the time being, that most others did too.

Mikael was confused when the strange looking dog came towards him,and jerked his head back when the kid snapped right in his face. How rude! Even ruder than staring, even. He never understood why staring was such a bad thing to do. When did merely looking at someone become a crime!
Finger boy. Very original. He'd heard that enough times so that the sting to his pride was minimal. As freaky as he was.. that was an interesting comment. Why did he assume he was staring because he was freaky? There was the part of him, the young kid in him that wanted to sniffle just a little bit to be the subject of such meanness... but strangely he found himself continuing to look at the lad, intrigued.
"Maybe, but then again you're probably prettier to look at." Even as the words escaped him, cool and almost sultry, he was wondering why the heck he'd even said it. Well, he -was- pretty to look at, but.. that really wasn't something boys said to other boys, or at least that's what his daddy had told him. Hopefully he wouldn't get in trouble for it.
Nova sure was loud. He was distracted from his intense need to look at Zether to look at the fiery pup, obviously trying to initiate play with its siblings. That was all well and good; all Vesper would try to do was get him to take his mask off, which made him nervous. Mikael couldn't move around and play like the other kids did.. his fingers were far too cumbersome and fragile and always found himself sitting on the sidelines with his paints to keep him company.
Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he let out an exclamation. "Ahh.... I get it... He's got Kahmden in him. Ya gotta admit it's hard to tell. You're a bit of a mish-mash. Sometimes people can't tell what I am either." Daww.. he gots the sympathies from the finger boy. That should prove to be a mild irritant XD

Brokat was feeling terribly ignored and a little left out ... but as the conversation progressed with all of his efforts falling completely through he was .... somewhat glad. He really didn't like all of this blatant negativity flying about and hopped up onto the couch with his siblings and moved over to where Vesper was, trying to his wiggle himself between her and the couch and not cut her with his talons all at the same time. He let out an odd sounding noise, more avian then anything else, and promptly hid his face beneath his paws when he was settled.
Casanova was not fully daunted by being rejected by yet another child in the room, but he did droop his ears and whine softly just to try and make his sister feel the tiniest bit bad about telling him no. He completely ignore Brokat, unknowingly adding to his brother's present dilema, and turned his attentions to the other part canine in the room. Those fingers were strange but maybe, just maybe he could coerce him into a game or .... something?
He turned and hopped down off the couch and made his way over to Mikael, flame colored tail waving back and forth the whole time.
Do you want to play or ..... something?
Maybe if he gave them more options, he'd get better results? |

"I wasn't being snotty," He replied in the exact same tone, "I was being honest." Zether replied, then sighed patiently. As much as he liked making enemies, he didn't like sitting in the middle of them, and there was no easy escape as far as he could see. The puppy wasn't about to apologize or make any attempt to smooth things over, but he didn't snap at her again at least.
At Mikael's comment, Zether could only stare with an odd expression, trying to assimilate what he'd just said. He was.. prettier? He wasn't pretty! He was weird! Everyone said so, at least. The ectoplasm and the coldness and the shivering.. it was all just weird, not pretty. "Uhh.. no. No, I'm not." He managed to get out, then did his best to brush the weird feeling the comment gave him off.
As for being Kahmden..
DUH, WASN'T THAT WHAT HE JUST SAID?!
Exasperated, he didn't even reply, he just put a paw over his eyes melodramatically.. and knocked his monocle off. Oops. So instead of replying, he drew out the search for it and spent five minutes finding it again.

Vesper could've gone insane with the...uselessness of most of this conversation. It wasn't that she didn't like other children it was just... Okay she didn't really like other children. Her siblings were okay though, even Cas. So she didn't mind at all when her triple-breed brother crawled up next to her and sandwiched himself between her body and the couch.
He was lucky that he got overlooked, least no one was flinging attitude at him.
"Well, I call it snotty." Was all she said, and promptly turned her attention to Brokat so that she could lay her head over his neck and ignore the present situation for a bit. It was simply easier that way.
She would go back to paying attention to the group once they proved suitably interesting again... or, at very least, once she got over her frustration with them. It was very unlikely that such a frustration would persist for too long, however, and, in the rare occasion that it did, Vesper would simply treat herself with a cookie and be done with it.
With all the things she was already displeased with, Vesper found it very hard to hold lasting grudges toward everyone else. Except for full-blooded Morganberries, but that was purely out of envy and there was currently no Morganberries in the room for her to be jealous of. Good thing for that.

Meanwhile, as a lovely distraction from themselves, a new figure would abruptly present itself at the door. Parvana had only recently begun working with Sae at this lil self-made organization, but she got the hang of things quickly and was more than happy to help the little otter she'd watched grow up around the Court of Spades. Oi, that made her feel old. "Good afternoon, Sae! The cookies smell wonderful!" She called as way of announcing her presence and then moved lightly into the sitting room to see just what exactly the children might have gotten into that 'Auntie Sae' didn't quite consider lethal enough to intervene in. Surprisingly, not very much. Good, good... Then they were at least mildly well-behaved, or simply too distracted by each other and cookies too cause a mess. ...It'd probably be a different story once the cookies kicked in. There was, however, an odd looking Kahmden mix routing around for something and slowly she drifted over to...ah, that must've been what he was looking for...a monocle? Poor boy, bad eyesight at such an age. Gently she plucked it up and held it out to him. "Here you go, love, I think you must have dropped this."There would be a great irony at work soon, Parvana could imagine, when this batch of unusual little ones all turned to see a butterfly in room. Varied as the world was in all of its oddities, Parvana's status as an insect always seemed to turn at least a head or two. (Not sure if Zether already found his monocle yet or not, so I went ahead and let Parvana grab it for him.<333 If he did, I can edit it. ^_^) |
