Ahh you texted me babe! I can send ya a selfie! Huh..? I can read that yeah! I mean.. I ain't gonna say no to a cutie!
And true to his word after a few moments he sends a full translation. If she could share this with Zephyro.. And if he's given enough time he may be able to crack this whole thing! (Time required but no more ability checks needed! If his party helps it will reduce the time needed!)
Arthur looks at Shar and chuckles shaking his head.
"Nah! I wish they get into all the fun stuff!"
"Mrs Ryuzan" had smiled looking at Zahira.
"Siri is okay hun! Ooh gosh.. I could do one trip but he is big... The trunk would work but.. Oh gosh that'd be terrible for a child! Kuro honey couldn't you just sit on his lap please dear?"
Zahira could hear Trick's half but his father on the phone was hard to make out. Still.. It was enough to figure out it was about an egg of importance.
"All right bud.. Can't wait for you to get home and see! As for you're moms puns.. I'll try. She said to you're little baby.. Looking good feline good. "
The last part was excited enough for her to hear from his father on the phone.
Himari ran up and hugged Zephyro before standing next to Arthur with a smile. She was relieved to hear that she was not in fact being rude or a little racist by her assumption. Arthur nods to Zephyro about a butler.
"Sounds like my walter!"
Siri had smiled seeing all of these nice children around her son.
"Aww who's the Genasi? Kuro you didn't tell me you had a little girl-friend! I'm so proud honey!"
Himari had to do her best not to snort-laugh but she ended up falling short of that task regardless. Siri had smiled to Zephyro and Arthur before tilting her head at Trick with a bit of a sigh.
"Kuro.. Is this one a loophole when I said bringing no cats home? I don't think I've ever seen someone with ears and a tail but no fur.. What are you sweetie? My little Kuro loves cats.."
She seemed a bit worried looking to Trick but Arthur had looked to Trick a bit confused before looking back to Kuro's mom. In Arthur's eyes Trick didn't seem that strange at all that was clear to see for anyone who would look.
OOC I wrote this late so if I forgot anything/anyone please let me know ^~^
"Oh no madam, it will be quite alright... if you are able to remove temporarly the cover of the trunk it would be as if I am just seated in a rear row of seats... do not worry for me I do not want to cause any trouble madam... "
Zahira didn't mention anything regarding Trick's conversation, but displayed a smile at seeing him so happy and excited. An egg had hatched? Oh that surely meant something nice and cute was coming Trick's way and she hoped he would show the baby to the group!
After saying hello to Kuro's mom, the genasi got a bit distracted by a buzz of her crystal. Was Plash finally contacting? Oh, it wasn't him, it was Ethan. But well, his text was also an important one, so she began reading it and her facial expression changed swiftly from one of interest to one that looked a bit pissed. Babe. Again. Gods, she hated that. She kept on reading and exclaimed:
- A selfie!? What's this guy thinking?Anyway - she tells Zephyro - it seems Ethan will be sending the translation shortly. I'll send it to the KZZZTS as soon as I get it, and then I guess that if we study it all together we can decipher it quicker.
Though she doesn't really want to reply it wouldn't be polite to remain silent, so she writes a short text back, completely ignoring all the "babe" and selfie stuff.
"It's great that you understand it...! That will help a lot! Thank you, Ethan"
Then, all of a sudden Siri begins talking about the "girl-friend" thing and she stutters:
- Wha- what...? Girlf...? - "What does this lady mean exactly?", she thinks, blinking in confusion at Siri. Then she looks at Himari, who is doing a poor job at containing her laughter. Then at Arthur. Then at Kuro. Then again at Siri - I mean - she laughs nervously - we are friends, yes. As I am friends with the rest? - she says pointing at the other kids - You know? Friends? Plain friends?
"Jeez, what a day", she thinks to herself as she closes her eyes and massages them for a moment, tiredly."Can I just get home already, pretty please?"
She's also confused about Siri's reaction to Trick. Tabaxis and half-tabaxis are not that uncommon, are they?
Sit in his lap? Is mom trying to kill him? Kuro's eyes shoot up towards his mother with a half worried, half defiant glint. "Mom, I literally just met him..." He trails off, realizing that her attention is on everyone else at the moment. He'd rather ride in the trunk himself than sit on someone's lap. No way is that ever going to happen. Then he grimaces again when she says 'girlfriend'. His eyes widen for a moment, and he gives a sharp shake of his head before hunching over, then giving a small nod to confirm what Zahira was saying...they are group members, that's it. Then Mom makes it worse by calling him 'little' and saying he loves cats to the person who's mother literally is a cat... though in his mind there is a very large difference between a tabaxi and a regular cat... one of them is a person and the other isn't. Maybe he'll have to start finding stray dogs to lure to his window, or birds, or any other animal just to get his mom to realize he likes any animals and not just cats... good grief it isn't like he invited Trick into their group or anything. He shrinks further, doing nothing to disprove that he is indeed small. "Stop making everything weird," he mutters, keeping his head down and scrunching his shoulders up as if he wants to disappear completely. He's not even asking to bring any of them home, so why would she even make a comment like that? She better not be thinking of bringing them all to his house. He really hopes that she can just drop him off first so he can lure Smokey under his bed before she gets back and then hide under there so he doesn't have to answer any of her questions or Father's questions. This day has been bad enough as it is.
Kuro, of course, had never really stoped to consider whether or not Trick was strange. Most people are strange in his opinion, so what makes Trick any different aside from his catlike features? Shar is a literal bugbear so...
Himari's hug catches the young elf off guard. Did what he said mean that much to her? He barely has time to give reciprocate before she lets go and retreats back to Arthur's side.
After returning Himari's smile, Zephyro glances down at Zahira when she mentions a selfie. He shakes his head. "Did he seriously ask that? Geeze I really don't understand that guy. Well, at least he's send the translation..."
Zephyro also stifles a laugh when Kuro's mom simply assumes Zahira is her son's girlfriend. He hadn't been sure what to expect from Kuro's family, but he definitely hadn't expected this.
After Zahira's phone buzzes again he has a thought, "Hey, how about this. Zahira and Trick can walk with me to my house so we can uh..." He glances at Siri, "Finish up some homework. The rest of you can get a ride home with Mrs. Ryuzan. My place isn't far, and once we are finished Mr. Nelson can give you a ride back to your homes."
He turns to Himari, "Are we still on for tomorrow? I know a lot has happened..." He trails off not wanting to say more in front of Kuro's mom. He looks to both Arthur and Himari. "Uh, well I'll text you both later when we figure out this...assignment."
He turns back to his group, "Does that sound like an ok plan? Trick, If you'd like to get home sooner feel free to turn down my offer. I'm just trying to figure a way for Mrs Ryuzan not to have to make two trips. Plus I'd really like to get this figured out." He gestures to his pack.
Zahira pondered Zeph's suggestion. She really wanted to get to her house to show Plash the crystal asap, and to rest a little too, but she had to admit that Zeph's idea didn't sound half bad, and that way they would manage translating the runes quicker.
Perhaps it did get her a teeny tiny nervous ... they were the Aethylmyr's after all! But at least there was no bad blood between her family and Zephyro's (that she knew of!), and she was sure that going along with Zeph - and Trick, if he decided to join too - everything was going to be perfectly fine.
- That's not a bad idea at all, so fine for me, Zeph! If everyone agrees I'll text my uncle with the change of plans.
(I'm leaving here the message she would send if we proceed with this plan!)
"Uncle, on second thought I'll go Zeph's home first, as the Aethylmyr's home is near the Academy and we can take a look on a couple of things first. Don't worry, they can drive me home afterwards and then I'll show you what I told you about before. Are you ok, by the way? It's not like you to not answer fast!"
When Zeph asks Himari about some plans for tomorrow, she dares ask Arthur the same, so she approaches him and asks:
- Hey, we did say about going to Flurry's, but with everything that's happened, do you think it is okay? I mean, it's not like we are going to be stuck I'm each other's home and not get out at all right? What do you think?
Shar seems a little bit confused, he was already trying to remove the cover of the trunk to see if it was practicable to go inside with Kuro’s mother and he says
”Oh ok I’ll walk with you then. It’s ok I have a transport back to go back to my home later… thanks ma’am” he says smiling to Kuro’s mother.
His heart immediately sank. No. His tail went from wagging excitedly to just the tip wiggling back and forth in irritation. His ears flattened slightly against his head. He decided for now he wasn't going to say anything, but he would once he was home. He said goodbye to his father sounding a bit disappointed.
He knew he would have plenty of time to handle this at home. He took a deep breath and slowly rejoined the group. His ears twitched when he was spoken to. Ah his appearance seemed to throw this curious woman off. He actually wasn't surprised though.
"I'm a tabaxi. Well half tabaxi."
He wagged his tail slightly and seemed not to mind such a question was asked of him. He tilted his head slightly before glancing towards Kuro.
"I don't think he sees me as a cat though. I'm pretty sure he sees me like everyone else! Though I don't mind being referred to as a cat."
He was a bit shy as he said this. Sometimes it was just easier wasn't it? To let them call him as they wanted. He just didn't want to make life difficult for anyone.
Siri had looked the party over tilting her head towards Shar and Trick and lastly to Zahira. She offers a slight bow to them all.
"I'm truly sorry! I'm still glad he made some friends I guess I just got a little excited!"
Siri had looked back to Zephyro and had offered a nod.
"If that makes it easier sure! Feel free to guy you're friend! And of course Shar!"
She smiles and offers Shar a slight curtsy brushing her autumn hair behind her ear with a soft smile. Zahira's phone had begun to ding back as Himari went to Zephyro with a wide grin and a nod.
"Of course! Just text me when you're ready! And I know this may be outta pocket but.. You're cat friend is so adorable!"
"First presuming Tieflings know infernals now treating Tabaxi's like cat's! So racist!"
"Oh hush you said he was adorable before too!"
Arthur laughed as the two shoved at each other a bit. It was than Zahira had approached Arthur, she had offered Arthur a playful grin as he grew a bit chocked up looking toward Zahira.
"I.. Uhh.. Y-Yeah! I'd love that actually! I can't wait to see you! I mean.. To hang out! Oh gosh.. Hehe. It'll be a blast! Even more fun than fighting gremlins!"
If Zahira looks to her phone she will see the text is indeed from her uncle.
"Hello little gust, sorry got caught up in my studies. I was comparing notes with an old friend, I hope you're faring well! Zephyro..? This isn't a boy.. Is it? Wait.. I know that name. Hmm.. I suppose I've nothing to worry of I've heard talk among the nobles that he isn't really interested in woman. Course that is just a rumor among nobles.. Could be false. Well be careful! Also be warned.. His father can be.. Well he can be a lot. I've only had the pleasure of meeting him once at City Hall and let's just say.. It did not go well."
As everyone began to separate some ready to go in Siri's car and others ready to walk with Zephyro. Arthur and Himari had decided to walk beside Zahira and Zephyro since the party was splitting. Siri had smiled to Trick as he began to explain how Kuro saw him. She had walked over petting his soft little cat ears with a gentle.. Motherly smile.
"He's always been an animal kinda person, still I've never got along with cats before! So this may be my one chance to pat some kitty ears! Haha, thank you all for taking care of Kuro he can be.. Distant so it means a lot to me you all treat him so kindly."
Though it was a simple thing really, his mother had almost appeared a bit chocked up before heading into the car. After everyone's farewell's (Chance for everyone to respond.) She had drove off and to Kuro's worse fear and great horror she had indeed taken them to her place for dinner.
OOC So I should ask do you all wanna finish the roleplaying for the in game day? Meeting Zephyro and Kuro's family? Or would you rather time skip that and advance toward the next day?
I don't mind either way just wasn't sure if you wanted a faster pace or happy with the pace we have ^~^
Zahira smiled back to Siri. The conversation with her had been truly awkward, but despite that she seemed really nice. And she didn't have trouble at all speaking her mind. The genasi wondered how Kuro have come to be so silent. Perhaps he was a little bit more similar to his father?
- Oh, that happens to me all the time, to be honest. So don't worry .. Mrs... errr.... Siri - it did feel a little weird to call her by her name, but she had insisted, so she forced herself to use it.
When speaking to Arthur, she did realize that the paladin was a little bit nervous, and she couldn't help but smiling as she thought "Ohhh...he is a little nervous isn't he? Oh, that is cute. But I am nervous too! How stupid of us! But I like this kind of stupid. Yeah, definitely, hehe!" and answered:
- Yeah! A blast, definitely! Oh! And a while back I thought of something that I think is going to be *fantastic* and pretty helpful to my party. At least I believe so! I plan to be working on it tonight and tomorrow early morning. I will probably be able to show you the blueprints, or perhaps even the first version. You'll see! - she smiled cheerfuly. Hell yeah eldritch cannons! How is amazing was that!? Geez, she definitely loved being an artificer!
A moment later, when checking the phone she let out a relieved sigh. Finally, a message from her uncle. She frowned a little bit at some parts, and then looked incredulosly at others. She answered:
"Oh? Say, does that friend of yours happen to be Herron Woodheart? The Principal just told us that our parties families knew him. Tell me everything about it later, okay? Yes, of course he's a boy. Uncle, you do realize I'm the only girl in my party, right? And that the ratio of females studing Artificery is pretty small? Come on, don't worry so much...!"
As she's writing this, the looks up to glance at Arthur and then looks back to the crystal. Geez, that was going to be trouble, wasn't it?
"Uh-oh. So you mean that you've had some rough moments with Mr Aethylmir? Oh, well, I didn't expect that. Anyhow, I'm a fellow student to Zephyro so his father shouldn't have trouble with me, don't you think? I mean are on the same party, so it's only natural that we have to do some homework and activities together. In any case, I will be on my best behaviour! I'll tell you everything later!
PS: People should really stop gossiping about other peoples lives! Poor Zephyro! It must be hard to be under constant surveillance just because of the family he was born in.".
As she finishes the this part of the text, she looks up again from her crystal, this time to watch Zephyro and Himari more closely. "Zephyro not interested in women? More likely not interested in the ones forced upon him...".
When Siri mentions Kuro's fondness for cats, Zahira remembers the drawing the boy gave her:
- Oh, and he's very good at dr.. - "...awing them ... oops", she trails off as she remembers that Kuro specifically requested that she didn't say a word about it - ... I mean ... hehe ... kitty ears! Who doesn't like them, right? - she glances at Kuro with a "sorry" displayed all over her face.
After this, she finally waves goodbye as the party is split when heading towards their respective destintations.
(OOC: As Rynn said in the OOC thread, I'm up for a little interaction when studying the runes in his home. I'd also want to show Plash the crystal right after I get home, so that I can have whatever info he can give to tell the party the next day).
Kuro gives a blank glance towards Zahira as she almost slips up about the drawing he'd given her. Does she still have that thing? He quickly glances down again, leaving it unclear how he felt about her near slip-up. Mom knows that he doodles, and for all he knows she's gone snooping in his room and looked at all his stuff already--though he hopes he can trust her more than that. Still, sometimes he feels like his mother knows more about him then she lets on--almost like she's the one with innate magic powers instead of him, and can use telepathy or something.
In spite of his neutral/bored expression, he does seem a little relieved that not everyone is coming. He's surprised though that Trick is alright with his Mom petting his ears. Good grief, Kuro would hate it if someone else's mother tried to touch his hair much less his ears. Gods, why was Mom such a weirdo. ...at least this is probably better then them meeting Father... He stiffens slightly at the thought, but quickly resumes his usual demeanor.
After a moment, he opens the door to the front passenger seat, climbs in, and shuts it without giving so much as a glance at the rest of the group. He sits there for a moment, staring at the floor before finally looking out the window and offering a small and hesitant wave. Then he returns to staring at the floor as he waits for his mother to get in.
When he realizes that his Mom is driving home instead of to wherever Trick lives Kuro gives her a hesitant glance before asking, "Aren't we taking him back to his house?" He really doesn't want to deal with Mom making things awkward anymore, and he doesn't even feel like eating dinner. All he wants to do is hide in his room so that he doesn't have to explain any of what was going on--especially if Father's home. He does want to tell his Mom about what happened, as it seems like the smarter thing to do, but he doesn't really want to involve Father yet as he might force him into doing more than he wants to.
"Awesome!"He starts, then glances at Trick then back at Himari, "Why are you telling me that? Haha, If your going to complement him why don't you say it to him?" He says in a teasing voice. He's honestly not sure why everyone keeps making such a fuss over the half-tabaxi. Perhaps he doesn't understand because he's not really a cat person? Either way he's not going to go treating Trick like an animal...even if the boy seems to be ok with it...
Once everything is figured out regarding who is riding with who, Zeph smiles then starts leading the way to his house. When Himari and Arthur fall in beside his group he sighs. He would just invite them both over as well, but he's sure that would not be the best idea. Does Himari know that his family doesn't think highly of hers? Whatever it doesn't matter, if his father has a problem with it then he'll deal with it later. Taking his mind off the subject he turns to Shar. "I guess I should ask, would you like to go strait home? Or would you want to stay and figure out these runes with us? Either way is fine with me."He glances towards Arthur and Himari, "Are you two wanting a ride home as well? If so we could take you all back first if Zahira is alright with it."
Trick looked up at her as she petted him and his tail wagged a bit. He didn't mind this mostly because it was something his father would do. It was never odd to him. Hell he would even let Roger pet him. Even the people back where he had come from would pet him. It was a way to tell him he had done a good job. It was a nice feeling. Even if he barely knew this woman he knew she was a mom, so this wasn't anything he had to be concerned about. She was just being friendly and that was alright by him.
As they had gotten into the car though he realized right away they weren't going to his house. Uh oh. He was a little shy but he had to stop by home first. He didn't mind going and spending time with a friend and their family, but first... The egg... Before his mother completely had the little thing talking in cat puns.
"I don't mean to be a bother, but I don't mind coming over for a bit and getting to know you and of course Kuro more, but there is something at my house I have to pick up. If you don't 'mind that is."
If it was a problem Trick would of course be fine. He would worry the whole time and he would be too late to stop the baby dragon from learning from his mother. Then when he was training with the little thing it would be as bad as her with the cat puns.
Arthur had smiled as she talked about showing him more creations.
"Cool! Tomorrow's a big day for me too.. I gotta officially choose my oath.. But I've got time! Promise! I know exactly what I want to be!"
Zahira had received another text this time quickly from her uncle.
"He is.. But how in the world did you know that?? The only girl in what?! That's.. I see well my blood pressure is certainly going to be spiking for.. How long is you're school terms again? Four years? Oh yeah... A long time. Mr Aethylmir.. Heh.. he'll like that. Anything that makes him sound more important of course. Logically you are correct my little gust of wind, but the world functions on more than just facts or logic.. Unfortunately so I cant say for sure what his reaction will be. Ahh, I suppose when hearing those rumors I hadn't considered Zephyro's thoughts. I had a feeling he was as unshakable as his father.. I apologize for seeming inconsiderate."
The group had begun to separate with farewells. Himari had tilted her head inspecting Zephyro a moment but her cheeks flushed a bit when he had mentioned Trick.
"Ahh.. Sorry for ignoring him.. I guess talking to you just came a bit easier! I'll be better!"
"Yeah! I mean I called Trick cute it's not hard!"
"I.. It may sound weirder coming from a girl though.."
Arthur and Himari had looked had thought for a moment to Zephyro's question before Arthur had given Zephyro a bright smile. He walked over placing his arm over his shoulder.
"I'm not good with runes.. Or reading really. But! I'd like to come! Besides I wonder what you're family is like! Since they wanna merge our families and all! I'm kinda curious if they'd mix together well.. My dad's pretty intense!"
"Arthur.. No tact at all.. That is Zephyro's family you're talking about. However.. I don't mind tagging along if it doesn't cause any issues of course."
Meanwhile in the car ride with Siri,Trick,Kuro it seemed a bit.. Quiet compared to before. Kuro had mentioned getting Trick home, Trick had asked to stop by his house but only for something quickly. She seemed happy by Trick's demeanor as she offered a smile.
"Of course! I don't mind taking you home for a moment, Kuro he's gotta try our chicken pot pie! You'll love it! If not I can cook you some salmon instead!"
As they came to Trick's house (due to his guidance.) The house seemed to be.. Buzzing it was large but nowhere near as large as a lords manor. There was little bots going around picking up trash. It was like.. a massive greenhouse? There was strange technological gadgets clashing with nature. Solar panels on the roof too? A mixture of cultures from different kingdoms.. (Roll history to know which DC12. Except Trick who lives here of course.)
A tabaxi woman could be seen on the porch, she was running on all four's and jumping around wrestling with the bots and drawing on them. She was also wrestling with a strange scaly creature.. A baby.. A baby dragon! She was getting into the mud and dirt rather wildly. Siri couldn't help but appear a bit.. Stunned for a moment as she watched curiously at the strange display.
"Oh! Tricky! Look he's up and going! He speaks.. Well in Draconic but you're father translates for me!"
The dragon had looked over at the car as she picked it up heading over, her clothes and fur a rightful mess. The little dragon looked up with a spark of lightning as it sneezed and it had spoke in draconic.
"I'm Feline good!"
She had let out a large grin, despite lacking her translator it was clear she knew what that phrase had meant. As the dragon jumped in the car, Siri gave a slight gasp as it began to lick at Trick's face and rub against him. There was.. A spark in the air and a strange blue glow between the two before it had vanished. Running out of the house was a man in a labcoat.
"Oh dear... I'm so sorry mam! This is my wife.. Jade! I'm Wantabe Kuroo"
"Ahh no problem Mr Wantabe! This is my son.. Kuro! So similar! You're wife is very.. Energetic!"
"Y-Yes.. She's from Starkwood and they can be a bit.. Wild.. She means well though I assure you!"
"Aww, well I don't wanna talk you're ear off but I Trick came here to get something! I was wondering if he could come over for dinner if that is okay Mr Wantabe."
He had adjusted his glasses with a light smile he seemed a bit surprised looking to Trick.
"A friend that isn't Roger? That sounds wonderful, if you don't mind he takes his little hatch-ling it isn't a problem."
It was than that the cat like woman had pounced in the car eagerly between Trick and Kuro. She had looked around hopping up and down energetically before raising her hand/paw in the air.
"Can't wait! So what we eating!?"
Kuroo had looked at his wife with a look of shock,awe,embarrassment.
"H-Hun..."
OOC 8
As odd as it sounds can Zephyro make me a deception roll? To hide that worrying that his father seeing Himari? If he fails he'll just look worried as they follow.
He has to beat the roll above but the roll above I will cap out at a DC 15. So if he rolls a 15 or higher he wins regardless of the roll above.
Also random thought but if you all want we can hunt for pictures that would match well for you're parents/uncle. If you'd rather do physical description that works. ^^ Seeing as I gave Trick's parents pictures I thought it could be fun. If you want I can surprise you and find something on my own you're call ^^
(OOC: I'm okay with surprise! That is, when my parents/brother make a appearance. The only thing I would say is that mom and bro are air so I guess they should be more purplish/grayish skinned like Zahira. And dad is water, as uncle Plash - from whom we already have pic - so they would be blue.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Oh, Kuro's in the front seat so he can sit by himself lol)
Kuro shifts uncomfortably. Why didn't Trick just take his chance to turn down dinner? Does he actually want to come over? This is not going to go well.
He glances out the window at Trick's strange house, blinking as he takes in the oddity of it.
History: 2
He stares blankly at the cat-woman pouncing on the robots... so that's what a tabaxi looks like... huh... Then he looks to Trick's dad, not bothering to say hi or wave as his mother introduces him. ...wait the guy's name is Kuroo? He's not really sure how to feel about that. He turns his attention to the baby dragon. How did Trick get his hands on one of those? Are they hard to come by? He blinks when the creature speaks, not understanding the phrase but recognizing the words as draconic. He'd never bothered to learn the language, no matter how much Father wanted him to. He just didn't care about it. Oh good grief, is Mom really going to let Trick bring the creature into their house? Why would she be ok with that but not the cats?
He flinches when Trick's mom up and jumps in the car, giving her a wide-eyed look that's as close to astonishment as anyone has ever seen from him. Quickly, he turns away and pulls his shoulders in as if to use the back of his seat as a barrier between them. Can this day get any worse? All he wants to do is go home and hide away in his room!
(OOC: I'd love pictures of Kuro's parents! I'm fine with surprise too! :D)
Deception: 7 (I have the curse of the 7s now lol guess he's worried)
Zephyro shrugs and laughs a little at Himari, "Don't worry about it. I was just messing with you. I don't think he's offended!"
The young elf lets out a nervous laugh when Arthur puts his arm over his shoulder. Clearly the paladin didn't catch on that he had not really wanted all of them to come over....not that he didn't want to hang out with them...Oh well, it would be rude to turn them away now. "Heheh, Yeaahhh, My dad's pretty intense too...." He adjusts his glasses, covering his face with his hand for a moment before glancing at Himari then looking to everyone, "To be honest my father might not like my having all of you over, but if I tell him we are supposed to be working together on an assignment, I'm sure he'll let it slide....aspecially since it has to do with runes, which are kind of wizardy?...i guess. Haha." "Gosh, for Ceribrum's sake having friends over shouldn't be so stressful."
(You can go ahead an find a pictures for Zeph's family! Lol I think the only description that I've ever given of any of them was that his father looks similar to Zeph, just a bit more blond. I may have mentioned that his mother and sister have dark brown hair? But feel free to change it for the two girls! I like surprises!)
"Oh yeah I would like to join... I love runes but never seen those " Shar replies " And I must provide some... passive protection to Zahira and the rest of you... " he says with a smirk as they begin to walk towards the elf's house.
Trick was so happy that he was able to stop by home. He was surprised to see his mother out playing not only with the robots, but with his dragon hatchling as well. His eyes brightened as they landed on the little dragon. It looked a little lighter than the dragon who had given him the egg. Of course, it was a lot smaller too. He was so glad that it looked healthy. However, what came out of its mouth as it made its way towards him was not what he wanted to hear.
"Mom... No..."
He looked at the little dragon and found himself smiling again. He was so glad it had hatched well. He held the little dragon happily. They were connected. He was so glad. He looked towards his father and smiled lightly.
"I had wanted to come and pick him up, but it seems..."
He slowly looked towards his mother who had joined him now.
"Mom is inviting herself..."
He wasn't sure if this was a good thing. He looked towards Kuro. This might have been a bit overwhelming for him huh? He tilted his head slightly before he looked back towards his mom. He looked at Siri apologetically.
"My mom is very excitable. She's a nice person though!"

Ahh you texted me babe! I can send ya a selfie! Huh..? I can read that yeah! I mean.. I ain't gonna say no to a cutie!
And true to his word after a few moments he sends a full translation. If she could share this with Zephyro.. And if he's given enough time he may be able to crack this whole thing! (Time required but no more ability checks needed! If his party helps it will reduce the time needed!)
Arthur looks at Shar and chuckles shaking his head.
"Nah! I wish they get into all the fun stuff!"
"Mrs Ryuzan" had smiled looking at Zahira.
"Siri is okay hun! Ooh gosh.. I could do one trip but he is big... The trunk would work but.. Oh gosh that'd be terrible for a child! Kuro honey couldn't you just sit on his lap please dear?"
Zahira could hear Trick's half but his father on the phone was hard to make out. Still.. It was enough to figure out it was about an egg of importance.
"All right bud.. Can't wait for you to get home and see! As for you're moms puns.. I'll try. She said to you're little baby.. Looking good feline good. "
The last part was excited enough for her to hear from his father on the phone.
Himari ran up and hugged Zephyro before standing next to Arthur with a smile. She was relieved to hear that she was not in fact being rude or a little racist by her assumption. Arthur nods to Zephyro about a butler.
"Sounds like my walter!"
Siri had smiled seeing all of these nice children around her son.
"Aww who's the Genasi? Kuro you didn't tell me you had a little girl-friend! I'm so proud honey!"
Himari had to do her best not to snort-laugh but she ended up falling short of that task regardless. Siri had smiled to Zephyro and Arthur before tilting her head at Trick with a bit of a sigh.
"Kuro.. Is this one a loophole when I said bringing no cats home? I don't think I've ever seen someone with ears and a tail but no fur.. What are you sweetie? My little Kuro loves cats.."
She seemed a bit worried looking to Trick but Arthur had looked to Trick a bit confused before looking back to Kuro's mom. In Arthur's eyes Trick didn't seem that strange at all that was clear to see for anyone who would look.
OOC
I wrote this late so if I forgot anything/anyone please let me know ^~^
Shar quicly raises his hands.
"Oh no madam, it will be quite alright... if you are able to remove temporarly the cover of the trunk it would be as if I am just seated in a rear row of seats... do not worry for me I do not want to cause any trouble madam... "
PbP Character: A few ;)
Zahira didn't mention anything regarding Trick's conversation, but displayed a smile at seeing him so happy and excited. An egg had hatched? Oh that surely meant something nice and cute was coming Trick's way and she hoped he would show the baby to the group!
After saying hello to Kuro's mom, the genasi got a bit distracted by a buzz of her crystal. Was Plash finally contacting? Oh, it wasn't him, it was Ethan. But well, his text was also an important one, so she began reading it and her facial expression changed swiftly from one of interest to one that looked a bit pissed. Babe. Again. Gods, she hated that. She kept on reading and exclaimed:
- A selfie!? What's this guy thinking? Anyway - she tells Zephyro - it seems Ethan will be sending the translation shortly. I'll send it to the KZZZTS as soon as I get it, and then I guess that if we study it all together we can decipher it quicker.
Though she doesn't really want to reply it wouldn't be polite to remain silent, so she writes a short text back, completely ignoring all the "babe" and selfie stuff.
"It's great that you understand it...! That will help a lot! Thank you, Ethan"
Then, all of a sudden Siri begins talking about the "girl-friend" thing and she stutters:
- Wha- what...? Girlf...? - "What does this lady mean exactly?", she thinks, blinking in confusion at Siri. Then she looks at Himari, who is doing a poor job at containing her laughter. Then at Arthur. Then at Kuro. Then again at Siri - I mean - she laughs nervously - we are friends, yes. As I am friends with the rest? - she says pointing at the other kids - You know? Friends? Plain friends?
"Jeez, what a day", she thinks to herself as she closes her eyes and massages them for a moment, tiredly. "Can I just get home already, pretty please?"
She's also confused about Siri's reaction to Trick. Tabaxis and half-tabaxis are not that uncommon, are they?

Sit in his lap? Is mom trying to kill him? Kuro's eyes shoot up towards his mother with a half worried, half defiant glint. "Mom, I literally just met him..." He trails off, realizing that her attention is on everyone else at the moment. He'd rather ride in the trunk himself than sit on someone's lap. No way is that ever going to happen. Then he grimaces again when she says 'girlfriend'. His eyes widen for a moment, and he gives a sharp shake of his head before hunching over, then giving a small nod to confirm what Zahira was saying...they are group members, that's it. Then Mom makes it worse by calling him 'little' and saying he loves cats to the person who's mother literally is a cat... though in his mind there is a very large difference between a tabaxi and a regular cat... one of them is a person and the other isn't. Maybe he'll have to start finding stray dogs to lure to his window, or birds, or any other animal just to get his mom to realize he likes any animals and not just cats... good grief it isn't like he invited Trick into their group or anything. He shrinks further, doing nothing to disprove that he is indeed small. "Stop making everything weird," he mutters, keeping his head down and scrunching his shoulders up as if he wants to disappear completely. He's not even asking to bring any of them home, so why would she even make a comment like that? She better not be thinking of bringing them all to his house. He really hopes that she can just drop him off first so he can lure Smokey under his bed before she gets back and then hide under there so he doesn't have to answer any of her questions or Father's questions. This day has been bad enough as it is.
Kuro, of course, had never really stoped to consider whether or not Trick was strange. Most people are strange in his opinion, so what makes Trick any different aside from his catlike features? Shar is a literal bugbear so...
Himari's hug catches the young elf off guard. Did what he said mean that much to her? He barely has time to give reciprocate before she lets go and retreats back to Arthur's side.
After returning Himari's smile, Zephyro glances down at Zahira when she mentions a selfie. He shakes his head. "Did he seriously ask that? Geeze I really don't understand that guy. Well, at least he's send the translation..."
Zephyro also stifles a laugh when Kuro's mom simply assumes Zahira is her son's girlfriend. He hadn't been sure what to expect from Kuro's family, but he definitely hadn't expected this.
After Zahira's phone buzzes again he has a thought, "Hey, how about this. Zahira and Trick can walk with me to my house so we can uh..." He glances at Siri, "Finish up some homework. The rest of you can get a ride home with Mrs. Ryuzan. My place isn't far, and once we are finished Mr. Nelson can give you a ride back to your homes."
He turns to Himari, "Are we still on for tomorrow? I know a lot has happened..." He trails off not wanting to say more in front of Kuro's mom. He looks to both Arthur and Himari. "Uh, well I'll text you both later when we figure out this...assignment."
He turns back to his group, "Does that sound like an ok plan? Trick, If you'd like to get home sooner feel free to turn down my offer. I'm just trying to figure a way for Mrs Ryuzan not to have to make two trips. Plus I'd really like to get this figured out." He gestures to his pack.
Zahira pondered Zeph's suggestion. She really wanted to get to her house to show Plash the crystal asap, and to rest a little too, but she had to admit that Zeph's idea didn't sound half bad, and that way they would manage translating the runes quicker.
Perhaps it did get her a teeny tiny nervous ... they were the Aethylmyr's after all! But at least there was no bad blood between her family and Zephyro's (that she knew of!), and she was sure that going along with Zeph - and Trick, if he decided to join too - everything was going to be perfectly fine.
- That's not a bad idea at all, so fine for me, Zeph! If everyone agrees I'll text my uncle with the change of plans.
(I'm leaving here the message she would send if we proceed with this plan!)
"Uncle, on second thought I'll go Zeph's home first, as the Aethylmyr's home is near the Academy and we can take a look on a couple of things first. Don't worry, they can drive me home afterwards and then I'll show you what I told you about before. Are you ok, by the way? It's not like you to not answer fast!"
When Zeph asks Himari about some plans for tomorrow, she dares ask Arthur the same, so she approaches him and asks:
- Hey, we did say about going to Flurry's, but with everything that's happened, do you think it is okay? I mean, it's not like we are going to be stuck I'm each other's home and not get out at all right? What do you think?

Shar seems a little bit confused, he was already trying to remove the cover of the trunk to see if it was practicable to go inside with Kuro’s mother and he says
”Oh ok I’ll walk with you then. It’s ok I have a transport back to go back to my home later… thanks ma’am” he says smiling to Kuro’s mother.
PbP Character: A few ;)
His heart immediately sank. No. His tail went from wagging excitedly to just the tip wiggling back and forth in irritation. His ears flattened slightly against his head. He decided for now he wasn't going to say anything, but he would once he was home. He said goodbye to his father sounding a bit disappointed.
He knew he would have plenty of time to handle this at home. He took a deep breath and slowly rejoined the group. His ears twitched when he was spoken to. Ah his appearance seemed to throw this curious woman off. He actually wasn't surprised though.
"I'm a tabaxi. Well half tabaxi."
He wagged his tail slightly and seemed not to mind such a question was asked of him. He tilted his head slightly before glancing towards Kuro.
"I don't think he sees me as a cat though. I'm pretty sure he sees me like everyone else! Though I don't mind being referred to as a cat."
He was a bit shy as he said this. Sometimes it was just easier wasn't it? To let them call him as they wanted. He just didn't want to make life difficult for anyone.
Siri had looked the party over tilting her head towards Shar and Trick and lastly to Zahira. She offers a slight bow to them all.
"I'm truly sorry! I'm still glad he made some friends I guess I just got a little excited!"
Siri had looked back to Zephyro and had offered a nod.
"If that makes it easier sure! Feel free to guy you're friend! And of course Shar!"
She smiles and offers Shar a slight curtsy brushing her autumn hair behind her ear with a soft smile. Zahira's phone had begun to ding back as Himari went to Zephyro with a wide grin and a nod.
"Of course! Just text me when you're ready! And I know this may be outta pocket but.. You're cat friend is so adorable!"
"First presuming Tieflings know infernals now treating Tabaxi's like cat's! So racist!"
"Oh hush you said he was adorable before too!"
Arthur laughed as the two shoved at each other a bit. It was than Zahira had approached Arthur, she had offered Arthur a playful grin as he grew a bit chocked up looking toward Zahira.
"I.. Uhh.. Y-Yeah! I'd love that actually! I can't wait to see you! I mean.. To hang out! Oh gosh.. Hehe. It'll be a blast! Even more fun than fighting gremlins!"
If Zahira looks to her phone she will see the text is indeed from her uncle.
"Hello little gust, sorry got caught up in my studies. I was comparing notes with an old friend, I hope you're faring well! Zephyro..? This isn't a boy.. Is it? Wait.. I know that name. Hmm.. I suppose I've nothing to worry of I've heard talk among the nobles that he isn't really interested in woman. Course that is just a rumor among nobles.. Could be false. Well be careful! Also be warned.. His father can be.. Well he can be a lot. I've only had the pleasure of meeting him once at City Hall and let's just say.. It did not go well."
As everyone began to separate some ready to go in Siri's car and others ready to walk with Zephyro. Arthur and Himari had decided to walk beside Zahira and Zephyro since the party was splitting. Siri had smiled to Trick as he began to explain how Kuro saw him. She had walked over petting his soft little cat ears with a gentle.. Motherly smile.
"He's always been an animal kinda person, still I've never got along with cats before! So this may be my one chance to pat some kitty ears! Haha, thank you all for taking care of Kuro he can be.. Distant so it means a lot to me you all treat him so kindly."
Though it was a simple thing really, his mother had almost appeared a bit chocked up before heading into the car. After everyone's farewell's (Chance for everyone to respond.) She had drove off and to Kuro's worse fear and great horror she had indeed taken them to her place for dinner.
OOC
So I should ask do you all wanna finish the roleplaying for the in game day?
Meeting Zephyro and Kuro's family? Or would you rather time skip that and advance toward the next day?
I don't mind either way just wasn't sure if you wanted a faster pace or happy with the pace we have ^~^
Zahira smiled back to Siri. The conversation with her had been truly awkward, but despite that she seemed really nice. And she didn't have trouble at all speaking her mind. The genasi wondered how Kuro have come to be so silent. Perhaps he was a little bit more similar to his father?
- Oh, that happens to me all the time, to be honest. So don't worry .. Mrs... errr.... Siri - it did feel a little weird to call her by her name, but she had insisted, so she forced herself to use it.
When speaking to Arthur, she did realize that the paladin was a little bit nervous, and she couldn't help but smiling as she thought "Ohhh...he is a little nervous isn't he? Oh, that is cute. But I am nervous too! How stupid of us! But I like this kind of stupid. Yeah, definitely, hehe!" and answered:
- Yeah! A blast, definitely! Oh! And a while back I thought of something that I think is going to be *fantastic* and pretty helpful to my party. At least I believe so! I plan to be working on it tonight and tomorrow early morning. I will probably be able to show you the blueprints, or perhaps even the first version. You'll see! - she smiled cheerfuly. Hell yeah eldritch cannons! How is amazing was that!? Geez, she definitely loved being an artificer!
A moment later, when checking the phone she let out a relieved sigh. Finally, a message from her uncle. She frowned a little bit at some parts, and then looked incredulosly at others. She answered:
"Oh? Say, does that friend of yours happen to be Herron Woodheart? The Principal just told us that our parties families knew him. Tell me everything about it later, okay? Yes, of course he's a boy. Uncle, you do realize I'm the only girl in my party, right? And that the ratio of females studing Artificery is pretty small? Come on, don't worry so much...!"
As she's writing this, the looks up to glance at Arthur and then looks back to the crystal. Geez, that was going to be trouble, wasn't it?
"Uh-oh. So you mean that you've had some rough moments with Mr Aethylmir? Oh, well, I didn't expect that. Anyhow, I'm a fellow student to Zephyro so his father shouldn't have trouble with me, don't you think? I mean are on the same party, so it's only natural that we have to do some homework and activities together. In any case, I will be on my best behaviour! I'll tell you everything later!
PS: People should really stop gossiping about other peoples lives! Poor Zephyro! It must be hard to be under constant surveillance just because of the family he was born in.".
As she finishes the this part of the text, she looks up again from her crystal, this time to watch Zephyro and Himari more closely. "Zephyro not interested in women? More likely not interested in the ones forced upon him...".
When Siri mentions Kuro's fondness for cats, Zahira remembers the drawing the boy gave her:
- Oh, and he's very good at dr.. - "...awing them ... oops", she trails off as she remembers that Kuro specifically requested that she didn't say a word about it - ... I mean ... hehe ... kitty ears! Who doesn't like them, right? - she glances at Kuro with a "sorry" displayed all over her face.
After this, she finally waves goodbye as the party is split when heading towards their respective destintations.
(OOC: As Rynn said in the OOC thread, I'm up for a little interaction when studying the runes in his home. I'd also want to show Plash the crystal right after I get home, so that I can have whatever info he can give to tell the party the next day).
Peindre l'amour, peindre la vie, pleurer en couleur ♫

Kuro gives a blank glance towards Zahira as she almost slips up about the drawing he'd given her. Does she still have that thing? He quickly glances down again, leaving it unclear how he felt about her near slip-up. Mom knows that he doodles, and for all he knows she's gone snooping in his room and looked at all his stuff already--though he hopes he can trust her more than that. Still, sometimes he feels like his mother knows more about him then she lets on--almost like she's the one with innate magic powers instead of him, and can use telepathy or something.
In spite of his neutral/bored expression, he does seem a little relieved that not everyone is coming. He's surprised though that Trick is alright with his Mom petting his ears. Good grief, Kuro would hate it if someone else's mother tried to touch his hair much less his ears. Gods, why was Mom such a weirdo. ...at least this is probably better then them meeting Father... He stiffens slightly at the thought, but quickly resumes his usual demeanor.
After a moment, he opens the door to the front passenger seat, climbs in, and shuts it without giving so much as a glance at the rest of the group. He sits there for a moment, staring at the floor before finally looking out the window and offering a small and hesitant wave. Then he returns to staring at the floor as he waits for his mother to get in.
When he realizes that his Mom is driving home instead of to wherever Trick lives Kuro gives her a hesitant glance before asking, "Aren't we taking him back to his house?" He really doesn't want to deal with Mom making things awkward anymore, and he doesn't even feel like eating dinner. All he wants to do is hide in his room so that he doesn't have to explain any of what was going on--especially if Father's home. He does want to tell his Mom about what happened, as it seems like the smarter thing to do, but he doesn't really want to involve Father yet as he might force him into doing more than he wants to.
"Awesome!" He starts, then glances at Trick then back at Himari, "Why are you telling me that? Haha, If your going to complement him why don't you say it to him?" He says in a teasing voice. He's honestly not sure why everyone keeps making such a fuss over the half-tabaxi. Perhaps he doesn't understand because he's not really a cat person? Either way he's not going to go treating Trick like an animal...even if the boy seems to be ok with it...
Once everything is figured out regarding who is riding with who, Zeph smiles then starts leading the way to his house. When Himari and Arthur fall in beside his group he sighs. He would just invite them both over as well, but he's sure that would not be the best idea. Does Himari know that his family doesn't think highly of hers? Whatever it doesn't matter, if his father has a problem with it then he'll deal with it later. Taking his mind off the subject he turns to Shar. "I guess I should ask, would you like to go strait home? Or would you want to stay and figure out these runes with us? Either way is fine with me." He glances towards Arthur and Himari, "Are you two wanting a ride home as well? If so we could take you all back first if Zahira is alright with it."
Trick looked up at her as she petted him and his tail wagged a bit. He didn't mind this mostly because it was something his father would do. It was never odd to him. Hell he would even let Roger pet him. Even the people back where he had come from would pet him. It was a way to tell him he had done a good job. It was a nice feeling. Even if he barely knew this woman he knew she was a mom, so this wasn't anything he had to be concerned about. She was just being friendly and that was alright by him.
As they had gotten into the car though he realized right away they weren't going to his house. Uh oh. He was a little shy but he had to stop by home first. He didn't mind going and spending time with a friend and their family, but first... The egg... Before his mother completely had the little thing talking in cat puns.
"I don't mean to be a bother, but I don't mind coming over for a bit and getting to know you and of course Kuro more, but there is something at my house I have to pick up. If you don't 'mind that is."
If it was a problem Trick would of course be fine. He would worry the whole time and he would be too late to stop the baby dragon from learning from his mother. Then when he was training with the little thing it would be as bad as her with the cat puns.
Arthur had smiled as she talked about showing him more creations.
"Cool! Tomorrow's a big day for me too.. I gotta officially choose my oath.. But I've got time! Promise! I know exactly what I want to be!"
Zahira had received another text this time quickly from her uncle.
"He is.. But how in the world did you know that?? The only girl in what?! That's.. I see well my blood pressure is certainly going to be spiking for.. How long is you're school terms again? Four years? Oh yeah... A long time. Mr Aethylmir.. Heh.. he'll like that. Anything that makes him sound more important of course. Logically you are correct my little gust of wind, but the world functions on more than just facts or logic.. Unfortunately so I cant say for sure what his reaction will be. Ahh, I suppose when hearing those rumors I hadn't considered Zephyro's thoughts. I had a feeling he was as unshakable as his father.. I apologize for seeming inconsiderate."
The group had begun to separate with farewells. Himari had tilted her head inspecting Zephyro a moment but her cheeks flushed a bit when he had mentioned Trick.
"Ahh.. Sorry for ignoring him.. I guess talking to you just came a bit easier! I'll be better!"
"Yeah! I mean I called Trick cute it's not hard!"
"I.. It may sound weirder coming from a girl though.."
Arthur and Himari had looked had thought for a moment to Zephyro's question before Arthur had given Zephyro a bright smile. He walked over placing his arm over his shoulder.
"I'm not good with runes.. Or reading really. But! I'd like to come! Besides I wonder what you're family is like! Since they wanna merge our families and all! I'm kinda curious if they'd mix together well.. My dad's pretty intense!"
"Arthur.. No tact at all.. That is Zephyro's family you're talking about. However.. I don't mind tagging along if it doesn't cause any issues of course."
Meanwhile in the car ride with Siri,Trick,Kuro it seemed a bit.. Quiet compared to before. Kuro had mentioned getting Trick home, Trick had asked to stop by his house but only for something quickly. She seemed happy by Trick's demeanor as she offered a smile.
"Of course! I don't mind taking you home for a moment, Kuro he's gotta try our chicken pot pie! You'll love it! If not I can cook you some salmon instead!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDDt88ug2j0
As they came to Trick's house (due to his guidance.) The house seemed to be.. Buzzing it was large but nowhere near as large as a lords manor. There was little bots going around picking up trash. It was like.. a massive greenhouse? There was strange technological gadgets clashing with nature. Solar panels on the roof too? A mixture of cultures from different kingdoms.. (Roll history to know which DC12. Except Trick who lives here of course.)
A tabaxi woman could be seen on the porch, she was running on all four's and jumping around wrestling with the bots and drawing on them. She was also wrestling with a strange scaly creature.. A baby.. A baby dragon! She was getting into the mud and dirt rather wildly. Siri couldn't help but appear a bit.. Stunned for a moment as she watched curiously at the strange display.
"Oh! Tricky! Look he's up and going! He speaks.. Well in Draconic but you're father translates for me!"
The dragon had looked over at the car as she picked it up heading over, her clothes and fur a rightful mess. The little dragon looked up with a spark of lightning as it sneezed and it had spoke in draconic.
"I'm Feline good!"
She had let out a large grin, despite lacking her translator it was clear she knew what that phrase had meant. As the dragon jumped in the car, Siri gave a slight gasp as it began to lick at Trick's face and rub against him. There was.. A spark in the air and a strange blue glow between the two before it had vanished. Running out of the house was a man in a labcoat.
"Oh dear... I'm so sorry mam! This is my wife.. Jade! I'm Wantabe Kuroo"
"Ahh no problem Mr Wantabe! This is my son.. Kuro! So similar! You're wife is very.. Energetic!"
"Y-Yes.. She's from Starkwood and they can be a bit.. Wild.. She means well though I assure you!"
"Aww, well I don't wanna talk you're ear off but I Trick came here to get something! I was wondering if he could come over for dinner if that is okay Mr Wantabe."
He had adjusted his glasses with a light smile he seemed a bit surprised looking to Trick.
"A friend that isn't Roger? That sounds wonderful, if you don't mind he takes his little hatch-ling it isn't a problem."
It was than that the cat like woman had pounced in the car eagerly between Trick and Kuro. She had looked around hopping up and down energetically before raising her hand/paw in the air.
"Can't wait! So what we eating!?"
Kuroo had looked at his wife with a look of shock,awe,embarrassment.
"H-Hun..."

As odd as it sounds can Zephyro make me a deception roll? To hide that worrying that his father seeing Himari? If he fails he'll just look worried as they follow.
He has to beat the roll above but the roll above I will cap out at a DC 15. So if he rolls a 15 or higher he wins regardless of the roll above.
Also random thought but if you all want we can hunt for pictures that would match well for you're parents/uncle. If you'd rather do physical description that works. ^^
Seeing as I gave Trick's parents pictures I thought it could be fun. If you want I can surprise you and find something on my own you're call ^^
Here's a picture of the baby dragon too
OOC
If I missed anything/forgot anything just let me know ^~^
(OOC: I'm okay with surprise! That is, when my parents/brother make a appearance. The only thing I would say is that mom and bro are air so I guess they should be more purplish/grayish skinned like Zahira. And dad is water, as uncle Plash - from whom we already have pic - so they would be blue.
Also: "I'm Feline good!" 😂😂🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻)

(Oh, Kuro's in the front seat so he can sit by himself lol)
Kuro shifts uncomfortably. Why didn't Trick just take his chance to turn down dinner? Does he actually want to come over? This is not going to go well.
He glances out the window at Trick's strange house, blinking as he takes in the oddity of it.
History: 2
He stares blankly at the cat-woman pouncing on the robots... so that's what a tabaxi looks like... huh... Then he looks to Trick's dad, not bothering to say hi or wave as his mother introduces him. ...wait the guy's name is Kuroo? He's not really sure how to feel about that. He turns his attention to the baby dragon. How did Trick get his hands on one of those? Are they hard to come by? He blinks when the creature speaks, not understanding the phrase but recognizing the words as draconic. He'd never bothered to learn the language, no matter how much Father wanted him to. He just didn't care about it. Oh good grief, is Mom really going to let Trick bring the creature into their house? Why would she be ok with that but not the cats?
He flinches when Trick's mom up and jumps in the car, giving her a wide-eyed look that's as close to astonishment as anyone has ever seen from him. Quickly, he turns away and pulls his shoulders in as if to use the back of his seat as a barrier between them. Can this day get any worse? All he wants to do is go home and hide away in his room!
(OOC: I'd love pictures of Kuro's parents! I'm fine with surprise too! :D)
Deception: 7 (I have the curse of the 7s now lol guess he's worried)
Zephyro shrugs and laughs a little at Himari, "Don't worry about it. I was just messing with you. I don't think he's offended!"
The young elf lets out a nervous laugh when Arthur puts his arm over his shoulder. Clearly the paladin didn't catch on that he had not really wanted all of them to come over....not that he didn't want to hang out with them...Oh well, it would be rude to turn them away now. "Heheh, Yeaahhh, My dad's pretty intense too...." He adjusts his glasses, covering his face with his hand for a moment before glancing at Himari then looking to everyone, "To be honest my father might not like my having all of you over, but if I tell him we are supposed to be working together on an assignment, I'm sure he'll let it slide....aspecially since it has to do with runes, which are kind of wizardy?...i guess. Haha." "Gosh, for Ceribrum's sake having friends over shouldn't be so stressful."
(You can go ahead an find a pictures for Zeph's family! Lol I think the only description that I've ever given of any of them was that his father looks similar to Zeph, just a bit more blond. I may have mentioned that his mother and sister have dark brown hair? But feel free to change it for the two girls! I like surprises!)
"Oh yeah I would like to join... I love runes but never seen those " Shar replies " And I must provide some... passive protection to Zahira and the rest of you... " he says with a smirk as they begin to walk towards the elf's house.
PbP Character: A few ;)
Trick was so happy that he was able to stop by home. He was surprised to see his mother out playing not only with the robots, but with his dragon hatchling as well. His eyes brightened as they landed on the little dragon. It looked a little lighter than the dragon who had given him the egg. Of course, it was a lot smaller too. He was so glad that it looked healthy. However, what came out of its mouth as it made its way towards him was not what he wanted to hear.
"Mom... No..."
He looked at the little dragon and found himself smiling again. He was so glad it had hatched well. He held the little dragon happily. They were connected. He was so glad. He looked towards his father and smiled lightly.
"I had wanted to come and pick him up, but it seems..."
He slowly looked towards his mother who had joined him now.
"Mom is inviting herself..."
He wasn't sure if this was a good thing. He looked towards Kuro. This might have been a bit overwhelming for him huh? He tilted his head slightly before he looked back towards his mom. He looked at Siri apologetically.
"My mom is very excitable. She's a nice person though!"
