"I did not! It's fifty percent of the time, not a hundred." Kyler pointed out with a 'serious' nod as he tried not to laugh. He did laugh at her next words though as he leaned down in his chair to steal a kiss. "Promise. It might be a little hard but I think I can manage." He teased her lightly.


Sare laughed with a shake of her head, wondering if she would get the same answer if she asked her the question in a couple of years. She looked over at Linnea with a giggle and shrugged. "Let's just hope that she doesn't turn out like me." She groaned at the thought. "I think I gave my older sister a permanent migraine. Yes, let's hope it's not like that for her." She nodded.


When Mina came in, talking around a mouthful of food, Betta lost it. She cracked up laughing and all of her hard work at her shield was destroyed. She sighed before groaning as she worked to reconstruct it. It was a little easier this time, but still a struggle. Once she had it in place, she turned to Mina and worked on talking and keeping it up at the same time. "No, I see no jam." She offered with a smile, her accent extra thick as she focused on doing two things at once.

Kai made a face at him, going to answer when she groaned a little bit. "Cristol and my brother are here..." She mumbled, not wanting to deal with them right now. She loved them dearly but she knew Cristol was going to try to get her to talk about it and she wanted none of that. She just wanted to be happy...


Linnea laughed, "Were ye a heartbreaker, sassi?" She asked with a teasing wink before movign to grab shoes for her. "Do ye want heels or flats?" She added as a side note, more waiting for the first answer than the second. She knew Iggy was having an issue finding pants for Jeremiah's lanky frame but Nate was helping them so she wasn't overly worried about it.


Mina nodded with a thankful sigh, "Good. So you never told me how you and Bryce met! I mean, I know the two of you met at your uncle's shop and you hopped along for the day with him and the boys but I mean...I don't know you use this word but, how did you two get to courting?" She asked curiously, figuring if she kept the conversation light and about Bryce the other girl might have a better time of it.

Kyler smiled as he ran his fingers through her hair. "Do you want me to distract them or something?" He asked her. "Or I can bring them in here if you want." He kissed her cheek. He just wanted to make sure she was comfy and happy.


Sare laughed as she ran her fingers lightly through her curls. "Heels please. And a bit. Used to drive Kai up the walls when we roomed together because of how often someobdy would stop by the room or call my room." She admitted with a smile. "Those days are far behind me, however. I'm quite happy right now."


Betta nodded as she struggled on keeping her shield up. Mina's guess was right though, and she found it easier to keep it up when thinking and talking about Bryce. "He asked me after hanging out that day. The next day he appeared at the ristorante litterally astride a horse. I can tell you that that definitely doesn't happen around our parts. It was so sweet." She had a smile on her face as she talked. It was a little easier to keep it up and she noticed that she wasn't hearing anything from Mina. She got excited for a moment and lost her shield. She let out a rather animilistic growl of frustration.

Kai wanted to tell him to send them away, tell them she was fine but obviously she wasn't whether she wanted to admit it or not. She couldn't even play the sick card because it would mean Cristol would still come up and Kyler would try to keep her bed ridden all night. Finally, she gave a reluctant sigh. "No....let Cristol come up before she has an aneurysm. Not my brother though...I don't need him pacing around..." or overhearing... she said simply, wanting to get this over with and cleared to leave and join the others.


Linnea nodded with a chuckle, "I'd imagine it would drive her looney...." She mused, remembering hearing of more than one bloke she'd slammed the door in the face of. She smiled though, "Well believe me when I say, lass, we're all very happy you're happy. I've never seen the boy so happy than when he's with ye.." She said honestly, handing her a pair of heels died to match the emerald green o of her dress, "Try these..."


Mina smiled, nearly laughing at the growl. "Calm love....you'll get the hang of it soon enough. Take a deep breath and try again..." She encouraged brightly, giving the other young woman's hands s reassuring squeeze. Peter just monitored the progress from where he was, making mental notes on the girl he'd be training. "So you just decided "what the hey" and went out with the guy on the horse?!"

Kyler nodded as he pressed a kiss into her hair. "I'll go do that then and do my best to keep Sheng from butting his way in here too." He teased lightly. "I'll see you shortly, love." He told her before heading downstairs to where Sheng and Cristol were waiting. He offered them a small smile as hello. "She wants to see you." He said in greeting to Cristol. "But she asked if you could stay down here." He told her brother.


Sare blushed in response, but she was happy to hear the words. "Well the feeling is definitely mutual. I really don't know where I'd honestly be without him." She told her as she took the heels offered to her. Slipping them on, she beamed over at Linnea. "Perfect fit!"


Betta gave Mina a thankful smile before taking a deep breath. She repeated a couple of more times before rebuilding her wall. "Si. It's not like he would hurt me. And I figured if he did or if he annoyed me I could sick my Uncle Callum's family on him and they could eat him." She grinned wickedly over at Mina. "Have wolves for relatives can be quite useful sometimes."

Kai nodded, sitting up a little as she waited for Cristol to butt in. She looked like she was waiting for a fight... Cristol smiled, kissing Kyler on the cheek before laughing as Sheng rolled his eyes. Cristol's dress was much more form fitting than the other girls' ball gowns and an almost blood red. Even though he was 6'2" she wasn't much shorter than Sheng in her heels, an inch at most.

"I figured as much...you two have fun now." She teased the boys as she headed up the stairs.

Sheng rolled his eyes a bit, a thin crown adorning his head. "I figured as much as well...Kai always underplayed how sick she was when we were younger. Unfortunately she'll never forgive me for ratting her out more than once..." He chuckled lightly with a shrug, knowing a sick Kai was a force to be reckoned with.

Meanwhile Cristol sighed as she rubbed her forehead, "Peter warned you there would be side-effects, that it wasn't per--"

"I don't want to talk about it." Kai snapped for the umpteenth time. What part of that was not getting through.

"Kai...you said yourself Kyler experienced a similar--"

"HE didn't kill her. He didn't stop her heart from beating!!"

"Kai you had no ch-"

"There's always a choice, Cris..."

Cristol sighed, knowing this wasn't an easy thing to get her to talk about by any means. "Kai Lynn you need to talk to Kyl--"

"Get out." Kai snapped and her sister in law blinked at just how angry she was. "I said get out. You're not making it better. You're making it worse."

"Kai please..."

"GET OUT!" Kai snapped, loud enough the boys downstairs could probably hear her. Cristol sighed, standing then and doing as she instructed. She heard a grumble and a sniffle behind her. Kai hated people seeing her cry more than anything...

"Just talk to him...."

"Just get out..."


Linnea grinned a little more at Sare's words, going to say more when the door to Lily's stall opened slowly. "Did you find one?"

Lily nodded a little, "yeah I think so..." She said doing a small spin in the 3/4 sleeved royal blue mini-gown. It was simple but beautifully crafted, obviously with Lily in mind. Linnea quickly grabbed an embroidered matching blue sash and tied it around the young girls waist.

"There the finishing touch. A beautiful dress for a beautiful girl..." She mused as lily giggled, swaying a little in the dress.


Mina chuckled, "I never understood that to be honest. I mean, I know we have non benders here but is it the same there? I mean you're not a wolf..." She asked curiously, tilting her head a little. She knew the others were on their way and she couldn't wait to meet the two new people with them.

Kyler grinned over at Kai's brother as he nodded. "Sounds a lot like her. I've seen her do it a couple of times myself and got in trouble for making her rest." He admitted. He was going to say something else when his sharp ears picked up the now louder conversation from upstairs. He wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but they weren't exactly keeping it quiet. When Kai practically yelled, he blinked. A frown of concern marred his face as he looked up at the ceiling. "I'll be right back." He told Sheng as he headed up the stairs to go check on his fiancee.


Sare looked over with a grin as Lily came out, admiring the dress on her. "You look beautiful, baby girl." She complimented her. "I really like this dress on you." She told her. "The girl goes nicely with your skin and dark hair."

((Eugh, stupid phone spazzed on me >.<))


Betta shook her head with a smile. "No I'm not a wolf. Uncle Callum isn't my blood uncle. Uncle Lorenzo is, but I consider Callum family because he's always been so wonderful to me and helped my Uncle Lorenzo raise me. Callum's dad is a wolf and his mother is a human. It's all about genetics and can be fascinating. Jared explained it to me once. Bother the human and wolf genes are dominant. So when a wolf finds a human mate, their children have a 50/50 shot to become either. Callum is human but his brother and sister bother are wolf." Betta noticed that as she talked, it was easier to hold her shield the longer she worked at it. "There's also a lot more to it, but you would have to ask Jared, he's done a lot of research on the history of all shifters but mainly wolves and their origins."

Cristol nearly ran into Kyler as he came up the stairs, looking to him with a wane smile. "Give her time to cool down...I hit a nerve." She admitted, pausing for a moment before continuing, "Actually...can we talk? Privately...?" She asked, making up her mind. Kai may never forgive her but she would also never forgive herself if she hurt Fiona. She wasn't thinking straight and Cristol knew if she'd listen to anyone it was Kyler....


Lily blushed with a giggle, "Junte...." She said with a shy smile before looking back in the mirror. "Can we do me hair fore we go to the castle?!" She asked, finally some of her excitement coming back about the night ahead. She couldn't wait to see Jason....he was so much fun!! Not to mention he didn't mind reading to her and he always gave her a ride in his chair.


Mina nodded, listening curiously, "So....Devin is this Jared's brother, yes? They were brought up with Kyler? Sorry....they just explained so much about their home lives while they were here for Solstice....hard to keep track..." She mused with a light laugh and a shrug. Like Sheng she was very curious about where the newcomers had come from. She knew Guardians had traveled back and forth between the realms for centuries....she'd just never been herself and it seemed to develop rapidly at the cost of their planet.

Kyler stopped before him and Cristol collided, not expecting to see her. He nodded at her words, even though he still wanted to check in on her and make sure she was okay. He was really worried about her. When Cristol asked to speak privately, he paused with a small frown. "Sure, what about?" He asked her as he nodded his head to one of the other rooms so they could talk.


Sare laughed as she nodded her head. "I think that sounds like a good idea. Do you want to have it up or down?" She asked her with a smile as she reached out and ran her fingers through the girls curls. She had such pretty hair.


"Si! Devin and Jared are twins. Kyler is their cousin on their mothers side. Colleen, the twins mother took Kyler in after her younger sister skipped town and left him behind." Betta explained while keeping her wall up. "Kyler is actually older than the twins by two years. So Johnathan and Colleen were raising him before they came around."

((I have to say…I’m in love with the Carrie Underwood video for Two Black Cadillacs))

Cristol sighed bitterly, “Your fiancée and a very bad choice she’s about to make…” She said honestly, closing the door behind him once he entered. She didn’t sit, though, instead opting to pace a bit. “She’s going to she Peter…see if she can convince him to – You don’t even know who Peter is. I’m sorry, let me start again.” She let out a huff of air, finally coming to a stop. “Something horrible happened about five years ago to Kai. She…well, instead of dealing with it and working through it she enlisted Peter, her mentor in mental warfare, to help her forget and suppress the painful memories. He warned her over and over it was dangerous. That it wasn’t permanent and something, at any time, could trigger the memory over again and it would be worse because everything would be suppressed for so long. According to him, however, she was so beside herself and guilt ridden she would’ve done anything to forget. To only remember the positive. She…really wasn’t quite the same after. It held…until you made her leave without you to face the other wolves. She said it started then, she was more on edge, more fidgety….the stunt this morning sent her over the edge and everything she’d suppressed came flooding back….” She explained, her stomach twisting as she sat there ringing her hands. “She’s determined to get rid of them again…but if she goes through with this pregnant!? It was dangerous enough the first time…”


Lily thought about it for a moment, lifting her hair up and letting it fall back down curiously. “I think….Up! Like the older girls wear it…” She mused with a nod as she looked back to Sare with a small grin.



Mina nodded with a smile, “Alright…Well, I think your other friends are going to be a little perplexed. They’re here.” She told her, looking to Peter who nodded and stood with the girls, offering his hand to Betta with a smile.

It was wonderful meeting you, Betta. I want you to try this at dinner tonight, when everyone is there. If you feel its too much by all means you don’t have to but I think it’ll be good practice. I cannot wait to see you all again soon. He told her, giving the girls a small bow before exiting the room.

Mina smiled and looked back to the other girl then, “You ready to go and meet them at the doors? How are you feeling?”
