Kyler was very interested at the scene they walked into, blonde eyebrow raised as he watched as Bryce suddenly gained his voice back. Okay, he had to admit that it almost made him laugh. If for no better reason than because it was the other man and not himself. Betta seemed to be just fine, however, curled up in the recliner watching TV. "I like her. So what if she's a little different?" Betta said as Antonia disappeared and Kyler almost laughed. Almost. He snorted before covering it behind a cough as he looked over at Betta's beau. "I've met Kai! Kyler's mate? She's really awesome." Erik admitted before waiting patiently for Lily to grab her stuff from her uncle. His was sitting next to the swing and he walked over to pick it up while he waited. When Lily came up, Devin just grinned, happy to see that her and Erik were getting along. It was great to see the boy having friends who were his own age. Especially ones who were not Nayeli. He waited until she left before he spoke up to Iggy. "Looks like you got your handfuls between the two of them." He said, thinking that this was the first time they had spoken since the girls had left. He didn't want things to be awkward between them. He wanted them to at least get along for Nina and Sare's sake since the two girls seemed to get along so well. "Who's your uncle?" Felicity asked curiously as she tucked some hair behind her ear. "From your voice, your home sounds far away from here. Almost like the Black Glen pack over in Ireland, but different. And you don't smell like pack." She admitted. Sare laughed before grinning. "Well I can't help it! He IS gorgeous. And all mine. So I can say it as much as I want." She teased. "Me too! I knew they could make friends here. There's plenty of amazing kids in this town that I think would accept them for who they are." She admitted before looking over at the girl talking to Jeremiah. "That would be Felicity Duquaine. She is the youngest of Karen and Thomas Duquaine. Karen is actually Betta's Uncle Callum's little sister. The middle child." She explained to Nina. |

Kai looked over at Kyler, “Smooooth….” She chuckled, looking over to Bryce with a laugh. “Oh knock it off…goddess above you’re a grump today.” “You have your voice stolen on and off for over an hour.” “You shouldn’t have pissed her off…” “Why are you so on her side!?” “Because that’s something between her and I. You said you didn’t want to be a part of my treasonous affairs. Want to reconsider…?” She asked him in a mockingly sweet tone. She smirked as he sighed and held up his hands. She knew the conversation was far from over but at least it was paused for now. “Now. Sit your royal ass down. I have something to show you…” Bryce looked confused but sat down beside Betta, Kai on his other side as she handed one of the pictures to him. He couldn’t help but crack up a little; he’d never seen his best friend so…happy about something. It was a bit unnerving to be honest. “That really little Fiona?” “Yep…Don’t know on how Earth they do it but…that’s her…” Lily nudged Erik with her sword in the shoulder gently. “Arise fellow knight!” She grinned, obviously trying not to giggle. She handed him his stuff with a small laugh. “I like ye shield….” Iggy looked over to Devin with a small shrug and a light chuckle, “You’ve got that right…” He answered simply, eyes still on the kids though for the moment. Hey, it was a start, right? He was still miffed at the kid but then again when wasn’t he miffed at him? Jeremiah shook his head, “Ye right on that, lass, I’m not pack. Me uncle’s over there…Ignacious Kincaid. Well, I guess most around here know him by Iggy…” He mused, gesturing over to his uncle. “His beau is Seraphina, I don’t remember her last name.” He admitted with a small shrug, “And yer also right in that my home is quite far from here but I’m not from where you think.” Nina nodded as she listened, glancing back to the kids as she saw Erik and Lily take up their swords and shields with a light laugh. She paused, shaking her head with another small laugh, “Uh oh…The boys are attempting small talk….” She mused, sounding amused more than worried though. They both needed to grow up about this nonsense. |

Betta leaned into Bryce as he sat down next to her, looking over curiously as Kai handed him something. "Oh! Are these the ultrasound pictures?!" She asked excitedly as she leaned over Bryce's shoulder to happily study the picture and take it in. She grinned up at Kyler and he couldn't help but return the grin. After all, that was HIS daughter. Erik grinned as Lily tapped him before arming himself with his shield and sword as he stood up. When she compliment his shield, he beamed proudly. "Nina got it for me! Isn't it awesome?! She told me all about it." He said as he thrust his sword up into the air. "Come along fellow knight! We need to go plan to take down the mighty, fire breathing dragon!" "What are you gonna do when that one over there brings home his first girlfriend?" Devin asked as he nodded his head over in Jeremiah's direction who was already talking to a girl. Eh, Felicity was a good kid and she'd be a great friend that would help Jeremiah find his place in the town and make lots of friends. She was one of the sweetest girls. "Oh! Iggy is your uncle? Him and Serephina are so cute together. It's good to see she finally found her mate. I really like, she's very nice." Felicity said with a smile. "So, if your home isn't Ireland, where is it? Wait, Iggy and Kai come from a different world. That means you're from a different world too, right? The same one?" She slowly put the pieces together from what little she knew about the outsiders who had mated into the pack. Sare looked over before giggling. "Good! They need to stop being such.... well such babies!" She said with a nod. "I mean, I know we sort of had a rocky start but I think we handled it quite well. And Betta and Kai seem to be managing so why can't they?!" |

Kai nodded with a small smile, “Yeah....it was a...different experience.” She admitted, glancing to Kyler with the same small smile. She was excited, but this whole thing with her brother's wedding put a bitter tinge to it. “So when ya due, mendra?” Bryce asked with a small grin as she tinged red and shoved him lightly in the arm. She still wasn't used to that... “About three months...” She told him, continuing when she saw the look on her face. “I know. I'll talk to Sheng about it. Has me da tried to contact you again?” “Yeah...you'll have to talk to him eventually, Ying. I can't play go between forever....you sure you need to--” “Yeah. I don't really have a choice...” She mused, trying to get off the subject and ignoring the look he gave her. She knew the wolf half of her pregnancy tended to have more complications, hence why she was having her here to begin with. “I'll talk to him later. Don't worry over it.” She waved him away, chuckling as he rolled his eyes at her. Lily giggled but paused, “Can we make it a different creature?” She asked curiously, “I know they're not nice but I 'ave a pet dragon at home so its odd.” She told him honestly, wondering what his reaction would be. She knew dragons didn't belong here and they were considered imaginary. That was weird though. She wondered what other creatures weren't real here that she had at home. Iggy shrugged, “I'm not so worried about him. Its the first poor lad that comes to court her that has to worry....” He mused, nodding over to Lily. He knew Jeremiah would do right by whatever girls in his life but he was going to be that dad. That was a weird word to put to himself but....he basically was. Jeremiah chuckled softly as she put the pieces together. “Ding. Ye got it lass....” He assured her, pushing up the sleeve of his sweatshirt a bit which showcased the markings which had shown up on his wrist like an intricate cuff. “We're from Lumnicera. I'm known as Brann...fire. Kai is Eau...water. I've heard we sound like others here. Accordin to me cousin our realms overlapped way back...” He shrugged, resting his elbows on his knees. Nina laughed, blushing lightly when Sare brought them up but luckily her tan skin hid it well. “They're boys. Its as simple as that. Iggy is like me big brother. He's always told me he'd be hard on whatever beau I brought home. Devin has a rather short fuse....they're both stubborn as hell. I love 'em dearly but jeeze...” |

Kyler didn't say anything as Kai discussed the due date with Bryce, knowing that they would talk about it and her brother's wedding later. He knew how much she wanted to be there and how it was eating her up on the inside. He was hoping that they could find some kind of compromise. "Are you about ready to go pick up the Branagan boys?" He asked them as he looked down to check the clock on his cell phone. Erik was happily walking as he nodded. "Sure! I do-" He just about tripped as he came to a dead stop and whirled to face Lily. "YOU HAVE A PET DRAGON!? Dragons exist?!?!" He demanded as he stared at her with wide eyes, his mind feeling like it was going to explode. Dragons were really real?!?! Devin chuckled as he looked over at the little girl with Erik who was currently being interrogated by the curious young boy. "Yea... I would say that the poor guy who ever he'll be won't stand a chance." He admitted, grinning just at the image alone in his head. The scene was more comical when he imagined a poor wolf in that spot. "Woah! Those are so cool! Are they tattoos?" She asked as her hand shot out to keep his wrist still as she ran her hand over the markings and studied them. "This is seriously cool. So... you're fire? Like your personality or is it a faction and way or living?" She asked, obviously the curious sort, her eyes still on his markings. Sare giggled as she nodded her head. "Let's be honest here, they're both a little short fused." She said as she looked over at Iggy and Devin, her sharp ears picking up what they were talking about. "Well... I think they found a safe common subject; the kids." |

Kai nodded, “Yeah...let me just go grab something for the road.” She smiled, standing then and stealing a light kiss before heading into the kitchen. She needed something to settle her stomach before they left. “Are we bringing the hell maker with us?” Bryce asked, looking up at Kyler with another sigh as the devil herself appeared behind them. She was dressed in a simply lime green tank which highlighted the markings across her collarbone, tight black jeans and combat boots. Her hair was pulled up in a messy ponytail and eyeliner highlighted her violet eyes. “What's up, love?” She asked Kyler curiously, tilting her head to the side as she slipped her sunglasses on. She tapped the side, though, and suddenly the lenses were clear. It would still block her influence from anyone susceptible but it was less conspicuous than wearing dark lenses inside. ((Hair: https://girlsguideto-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/michelle-chang/Messy-ponytail2.jpg Boots: http://www.cutecombatboots.com/wp-content/gallery/volatile-womens-boot-camp-combat-boot/volatile-womens-boot-camp-combat-boot-pair2.jpg )) Lily laughed but nearly rammed into him as he came to a complete and sudden stop. “Yes....” She said slowly, trying to decide if his reaction was weird or funny. “I 'ave one back home. Name is Keegan. He's a bit small, now...only about size of a cat but when we get back he might be about the size of a horse! It'll be cool...but sad cause then I can't play with him in the house....” She went on, wondering what his reaction to that bit of news. “Ehh...with her brother the way he is I don't think I'd have to do much of the intimidating. I don't know who they'd be more frightened of, though, me or Kai.” Iggy admitted, looking to Devin with an amused shrug. Kai had that mother bear instinct in her even if she didn't showcase it often. Pitty the poor lad who tried to date Fiona. Jeremiah blinked, not used to others being fascinated by his markings. It...took a second for him to answer. “Markings. They appear with age and ability. Tattoos are an outside entity's addition. To answer the other one, its my faction....though I guess you could say personality as well.” He mused, finally giving her another small smile and took his hand away mainly because it was his dominant hand. Before she could answer he snapped his fingers and a small blue flame danced around his palm. Nina giggled lightly, “Yeah, Iggy's getting used to the idea of acting more like a father than an uncle. He always kinda was that way with Lily, givin she's so young, but with Jeremiah its going to take some more goading.” She explained to Sare with a small shrug. She wasn't worried. Iggy knew what he was doing and was more than capable of doing so. Especially with Sare as his support system. |

Kyler stiffened slightly as she appeared behind him, the predator in him not liking being taken by surprise like that. It left him vulnerable to attack and put his wolf on edge as he tried to calm it. "We were about to go pick up our important guests for the pack." He explained to Antonia. "You can come, but I'm asking you politely to be very respectful to them. They're very important people in the shifter world and I would rather not get in trouble with that family." He told her honestly if politely because he was just that kind of person. "They really, really exist?!" Erik demanded as his mind began to whir madly with all of the possibilities. "And they're not evil!? They're good? I knew it! I knew all dragons couldn't be bad! I can't believe you have a pet one! That's so awesome. Can we be best friends?" He asked with a grin, knowing he was going to demand more answers from Devin and Nina later. Devin laughed as he shook his head. "Honestly? I be more afraid of Kai. She is definitely one of the most intimidating people I've ever met in my life. I do not want to be on her bad side." He said with a grin. "They just randomly appear? Do you get to decide what they look like? I mean, like, what if you don't like what it looks like? Do they mean certain things? This is seriously one of the coolest conversations I've ever had." Felicity rambled with a bright grin that was still a little fangy. When he snapped his fingers and the fire appeared, she squealed before laughing. "That's seriously the coolest! Is it real? Will it burn me if I touch it?" She asked, fingers looking like they wanted to reach out and touch it. "I think he's going to be a wonderful father figure for them. He's already done so much for them and you can tell that he'll definitely be good for them." Sare agreed as she watched the two interact with children their own age. Jeremiah slightly showing off for the pretty girl and Lily and Erik enthusiastically discussing dragons. Haha, wait until Erik hit Nina with that one. He'd probably be asking for his own pet dragon. |

Antonia tilted her head curiously, "Branagan....I know that name." She mused, seeming to be stuck on an aspect Kyler never told her. "Yes yes I'll behave. Branagan..." Her eyes flashed and a wicked grin spread across her lips. "I remember that pack well. Boys were wee lads then....well, relatively speaking...." "Nia....you aren't to open your mouth. We clear?" Kai insisted, munching on animal crackers as she walked back in. "Oh calm yeself. Sheesh. No 'arm came the the pack nor the boys....just...maybe some local flock got eatten by a ravage animal and I happened te 'ave some fun while I was in town." She winked, chuckling lightly as she got a look from the other girl. "Fine fine...mouth shut then. Ye ruin the fun..." Bryce sighed as he stood, "Then I guess its time to get going..." Lily blinked before laughing, "Theya not all bad....its really me uncle Iggy's but he sleeps at the foot of my bed..." she explained, blushing lightly at his request, glad he couldn't see her. "Sure we can!" She giggled, "Now come on! I think we should battle a bugbear!...ye do know what it is....right??" Iggy nodded, "Yeah, I pitty the poor lad in either realm who tries. Not only does she have Kai, a duchess, for a mother but Kyler, gamma, for a father. It'll be interesting to say the least." He mused, leaning forward on his knees as he glanced over to Lily and Erik to make sure they weren't getting too far away. Jeremiah couldn't help but chuckle, closing his hand to extunguish the flame. "Yes its real...yes it will burn ye. No ye don't get te choose ye markings but ye never question em because they show progress. Thicker with experience....I don't think they mean anything as so far as designs but the way they appear means stuff. Like if theya thicker ye have more expeirence and power. If theya thinner but elaborate it means more control....like me cousin Nina's. Mine look very different than say...my aunt Kai's. She's Eau so hers are more flowing where mine are more jagged." He tried to explain but honestly it felt odd. He was used to people just...knowing. Nina smiled, "Yeah....and now he's got you." She mused simply with a light shrug, groaning lightly as Lily relayed her shock that Erik didn't know dragons were real. "Oh hell...this will be an interesting trip back for sure...." |

((Let's try this again!)) "The boys? As in the ones we're going to pick up? You know them?!" Kyler demanded as his head spun. This could be very, very bad. He thought about what she said and wondered if maybe it was an older line of the Branagan's. He knew that the family had not grown livestock in a long time. It was hard to take care of prey when they smelled the predator in you. "A bugbear? What's a bugbear?" Erik asked curiously, having never heard of it before. He was still reeling over the fact that there were actually still dragons. He really couldn't wait to ask Nina. Maybe he could convince his dad to let him keep one as a pet... "I think, in the end, I pity any poor person who wants to join this family. It's a pretty weird family we have here you have to admit." Devin said as he ran his fingers through his shortly cropped hair. "There's a lot of people that you have to impress to become a part of it. Probably be easier to be accepted into a mob." He mused with an amused snort. Felicity nodded her head as she listened to Jeremiah, seeming to actually listen to him and hear what he was saying. "Okay! That makes sense. Hey, is your Aunt Kai the reason why Kyler has those markings on his face? I noticed that they looked similar. Does that mean Serephina will get one too? Sorry, you probably don't want to answer all of these questions." She apologized with a faint blush hidden by her tanned cheeks and her quick smile. Sare blushed madly as she ducked her head briefly before smiling. "Yea... yea he does, doesn't he?" She asked. And he would for a long time because she wasn't going anywhere ever if she had anything to say about it. This was exactly where she was supposed to be. She looked over as Nina groaned and tilted her head. "What's up?" She asked. |

((-crosses fingers- Its the only thing I don't like about this site....constantly eaten posts)) Antonia chuckled, "If they're Faolan's boys then yes....don't panic, love. Ye'll only turn grey when there's nothing to fear. I was there about....oh goddess...16 years ago? Remember I'm only 38, lovie. I was 16 and looked about 19, finally able to control...well most of me. Someone snitched that there was a....oh bloody what did they call me....ah, lone wolf. Obviously Faolan was curious. Luckily, one of my forms looks, acts, and smells remarkably similar to yours." She mused, her eyes flashing gold as Kai face-palmed having forgotten about that. "Convinced him I was simply a bit....wild in nature. Disowned by my own pack. He was hesitant but showed me where they hunted where I could stay.....I stayed there in town about a month before the less favorable side of me started itching for blood. Real blood. The eldest two lads came by once and a while. Don't worry, they neva saw the true sides of me." She shrugged, gesturing to her hair, markings and eyes. "They saw a lost, doe-eyed girl with dark hair and a slight build. Why Kai is tellin' me to keep my mouth shut is I can't control me voice. They'll know my accent instantly. I 'ad some fun there but....they were the first and really only ones to show me any kindness. Went back every once and a while when I was in the area but some of the others got suspicious. Apparently my scent got more foreign as I got older so I finally just stopped going about 10 years ago. Rumors tended to spread when I came into town. It'll be interestin' te see 'em..." She shrugged it off, a small smirk on her lips. To anyone else the memory would've been nostalgic and a tad bit emotional. To Antonia, however, it was only a small fraction of her life. Fun....slightly freeing...but nothing more than means to comfort and food really. At least that's what she'd made herself believe over the years. Lily giggled and shook her head, "Bugbear...its a...demon. I think. Anyway he likes to eat and scare children. He looks like a creepy bear..." She thought about it, "Oh drat...Kai told me he exists here too. Ugh...um...boogerman. No, that don't sound right...." She giggled, shaking her head, "Oh! Boogeyman!" "Into a what?" Iggy looked over with a quirked eyebrow. To him. a mob was a group of people with pitchforks or something. He'd dealt with a few in his time. He had a feeling, though, Devin meant something different. Jeremiah thought about her questions, but he waved off her apologies. "Its alright...Just not used to people not knowing. From what I understand Aqui, the Eau goddess, gave Kyler that marking. He saved her from something but I'm not quite sure what. When people marry in my land they usually get a marking on the back of their hand. We don't know what will happen since this kind of betrothal hasn't been done before." He said simply with a small shrug. Nina nodded, giving her a small smile. "Lily is obsessed with the fact that Erik didn't know dragons were real. That and apparently Antonia has ties to the Branagan boys.....lots of questions to answer is all....' She mused with an amused sigh. |
