Lore: Finding Home...

Soran nodded a good morning at Mizuki just as Rai poked him in the side. He dodged ticklishly to the side, almost knocking over a candlestick that was sitting on the edge of the table as he held the child off of him.

"Feeling well?" he asked her as he caught the candlestick and set it back in the center of the table. He sat on the back of the couch Siren was sleeping on, giving Rai a warning glance to calm down.

Mizuki looked to Soran as she balanced herself carefully, putting more weight on her more fit leg than her injured leg.

"I... I'm fine..." she said quietly. Blade squealed in Gwendolyn's arms and physicaly demanded himself to be put down by squirming.

"ALright!" Gwendolyn said, exasparted and she set him on his feet. Blade ran forward and threw himself at Soran's legs, hugging them and babbling.

"Bahabahbahabah. Doosh...(OOC:and the rest becomes incapable of typing into words)" he babbled at Soran.

Rai looked at Soran as his glare was like one her dad used to give her when he thought she should calm down or he had had enough of being tormented. Her face fell slightly and she decided that she was being a bit too annoying.

Rai wondered over to a corner and sat down with Toby, playing with his ears and grinning as he scratched himself and one of his eyes were twitching.

Siren groaned and turned her hear around groggily to face the others. Her eyes were only opened into narrow slits and she blinked frequently, dazed by the light.

She mumbled something unintelligeable, trying to will herself to ask if it was morning already. Mornings were still not her strong suit.

As she revitalized more, hearing the baby's babbling and high-pitched voice, she pushed herself up into a sitting position to rub the sleep out of her eyes and try to fix her hair a bit and get it out of her face.

It hurt. Resting had made her muscles sore and the wounds, which had been more than happy to stay still and rest, now protested at movement by sending firey stings through her nerves. Her wings had swelled more and were too stiff to move well. But she was safe, and her biggest worry was the groaning her stomach made.

"Food?" she asked plaintively, looking to Gwendolyn.

Soran pretended not to notice that Mizuki was favoring a leg, accepting her quiet answer. He glanced down blankly as Blade flew against his legs with a soft whump and clung to him, babbling in baby language. The rogue went down on one knee and looked at the baby seriously, as though he had never realized Blade spoke his own language. "Soran," he told the baby clearly, pointing at his chest.

Blade looked at Soran, paying close attention to his mouth and the way he was sounding out the word.

"Sow-wan." Blade repeated. "Sow-wan! Sow-wan!Sow-wan!" Mizuki broke out into a small fit of laughter and almost fell over if Gwendolyn hadn't predicted it and grabbed her.

"Come on you guys... breakfast and I'll go wake up Naoki." Gwendolyn said smiling and lead them into the kitchen where a breakfast feast waited for them.

The rogue's eyes widened slightly as Blade actually managed to say his name. The child clearly had some kind of gift for fascinating him unexpectedly. His ears burned as he realized Mizuki and Gwendolyn were laughing at him. He managed to pick the baby up properly and stared the others down proudly. "Smart kid," he said indifferently, though he had already accidentally begun staring at Blade again.

"Smart kid," Soran stated proudly. Mizuki turned back to look at him holding his son-- Her son... not his... Blade was her's even though he could probably pass for Soran's son too, if it weren't for the wings. That realization brought an ache into Mizuki's heart as she watched Blade coo in Soran's strong arms. She turned her head quickly.

"Yes.." she said in a weak voice that was trembling even though she tried to hide it. She continued limping on into the kitchen and sat down before Gwendolyn forced her off her feet.

Soran hadn't noticed Mizuki's sudden shift in mood. He turned toward the couch where Siren had woken up and was groggily demanding food. She looked extremely sore and several of her wounds had swollen up, but apparently that wasn't enough to kill her usual spunkiness. "If you're so hungry, come eat," the rogue directed. "You too, pipsqueak!" he called to Rai in the corner.

Rai looked up and grinned, patting Toby on the head and standing up, running into the kitchen with a giggle as Toby followed behind her quickly.

She slid to a stop at the table and pulled out the chair and then climbed into it, sitting in the middle of the table.

Blade cooed in Soran's arms.

"Sow-wan!" he said again, happy that he could say something but having no clue of what it meant. "Sow-wan... Daa-dee!"

In the kitchen Gwendolyn watched as the few who had already sat down started eating, then she left to go get Naoki but stopped in the living room.

"Come on," she told them, "Get some food in your bellies. Blade is the only one out of all of you who had already eaten." she joked then went on to wake Naoki.

Siren stood up and yawned, daring to stretch her arms and chest a bit, favoring her left arm where it was wounded as she did so.

Her stomach groaned again and she curled over forward a bit in defeat, walking slowly into the kitchen.

She stopped and glanced at Soran before she entered the other room, watching him hold the child. She smiled.

Gwendolyn had managed to drag Naoki out of bed and dressed and refreshed before she was taken to the table. Naoki was still physicaly tired though.

"Hey.. Mizuki.." She greeted her best friend as she sat down next to her. She watched as Soran and Siren came in, Soran holding Blade and she blinked a couple of times. "Wait... Soran's...holding...baby..." Mizuki smiled and nodded.

"Blade threw himself at his feet." Mizuki said, humor in her voice. She looked back to Soran and thought for a minute then said, "Do you... want me to take him back or..?" On cue Blade hugged Soran.

"Sow-wan! Daa-dee! Nooo.." Blade said, or cooed.

The rogue gave a quizzical stare to the baby he was holding as it clung to him stubbornly and unmistakably referred to him as its father. Soran fell back slightly in his seat, concealing his confusion. Did Blade think Soran was his father? His ice-green eyes examined the child's carefully as he pondered whether or not this was a problem. Of course it was a problem...he wasn't the father, and they were about to separate.

He looked up at Mizuki unreadably, and at the others who were eating casually. With his free hand, he took a piece of bread from the center of the table and began eating it, naming to himself all the reasons why it shouldn't bother him to leave these people, and denying all reasons why it should.

Rai grabbed some food and pulled it onto her plate, eating rather quickly. "Soran! When are we leaving?" she asked again, grinning at him, her cheeks puffed out from food adn she looked rather like a hampster.

"Will you teach me to swim when we get to warm water? You and Mizuki? I want to learn to swim!"
