Tatsu, Ashleigh & Ainsleigh

Tatsu gave Pine an acknowledging draeyl gesture of gratitude and took the tray to allow them to get to work. He looked to Tomen and replied. "Come over to our table. There are two fine benches over there good for sitting and lots of room." Tatsu gave him a wink but not letting on as to why. Ainsleigh followed along after Tatsu, granting Blue a silent invitation to come sit as well. She placed Ashleigh against her shoulder so the little one could look back at her biological uncle, though it didn't help that she was facing Blue and Tomen as well. At the table, Tatsu used one long claw to open up the chest and abdominal cavity of the pig. Ainsleigh sat down on the other side of the pig, but on the same bench, and planted Ashleigh inside the pig in an envelope of intestines. On instinct, Ashleigh started eating on the pig innards. Tatsu and Ainsleigh enjoyed the tender meats of their meal, while taking turns directing Ashleigh towards the organs so she could consume the most vitamins and minerals from the animal.

Tomen Nodded and Followed sitting By Blue And nudging her shoulder " So I assume you have may you decision" he said before nodding to pine and thanking him.
Blue looked at the ripe red strawberries " yes.." she said answering his question smiling as she took the ripe fruit in her mouth.
Tomen Looked as if had been hit by a tree when she spoke . he regained most of himself, his tail wagging uncontrollably as a smile broke on his face "Really! he said like a giddy child himself.
Blue glared at him " Calm Down before I change my mind.... the only reason I'm saying yes is that i'm thinking our..." she paused thinking of a good word ".. Occupations have shifted, and you would make a good father.." she admitted only inflating his already over-sized pup like ego.

Ainsleigh, Ashleigh & Tatsu

Tatsu, Ainsleigh and Ashleigh were munching away at their meal. The adults paused momentarily to note the arrival of Tomen and Blue Jay to their table. Breakfasting was a serious business and their last meal was rather interrupted untimely with the death of Yama. Ashleigh was the first to acknowledge Pine's arrival. She smiled and squeaked at Pine, offering up her hands towards him, both with nibbled ends of intestines and a dribbling of liver on the side of her cheek. She was covered tip to tail in swine fluids of various scents that would almost make a lupora want to roll over top of her. She had a strong grip on the pig guts but held it toward Pine if he wanted to share. Tatsu noticed that while Pine was politely addressing them about their meal, that most of his attention was spent looking at his niece.

"She loves you too Pine. And yes the pork is exceptional dis'smornin'. He slurred from the half filled chasm of charred pig he was trying to wolf down. Ainsleigh took the opportunity to contact with Pine before starting conversations with their zolnixi companions. "Sit fer a spell and spend a lil time wit' yer niece. Ye'd brighten her day if ye just pushed food in her direction. She ain't even gotten ta start on the pig's 'eart yet." She told him knowing how the gush caused such surprise noises from baby draeyl." Tatsu then turned to the zolnixi couple. "I'm glad ta hear ye two finally agree. So are ye plannin' ta adopt er are ye goin' ta have yer own nat'rally?" He asked as though it was like talking about the weather.

"Hey, don't hog all of the fun, I want to know too!" Ainsleigh said turning from Pine rather suddenly and looking eye to eye with Blue Jay just in case this was only going to be a girl's only sort of thing.

Blue chuckled as she starting on a sweet roll" To tell you the truth I cant Have any of my own... so we are going to adopt" she said flattening her ears a bit ashamed. She was a bit self conscious about ht e fact, but she felt Ainsleigh would be more understanding than others.

Tomen's tail was still wagging excitedly " Its rare that she will consider something that would collide with her "Occupation" he said putting emphasis on the word. Blue growled " You act like raising a child would be a out of my capabilities... " she said slightly offended. Tomen cowered a bit " No m'lady... " he said slowing his tail down, he knew when he had pushed too far.

Ainsleigh, Ashleigh & Tatsu

Ashleigh's face dimpled with glee that Pine sat down to pay her attention. She put a gob of the intestines from her left hand in her mouth, forgetting to let go as she did so and the intestine bulged from her fist pushing it whie her scissor like teeth were shearing the flesh. She offered her right hand full of the guts an waved it up towards Pine. Only that end was wrapped around her body and keeping her snuggly inside the carcass. Her eyes were fixed on Pine with wonder... Ainsleigh bore her teeth and hissed out like a pipe leaking steam. It was a rare expression among the desert folk. A hiss of contempt. "Tis a bad lot for a female ta be barren. Take heart, orphans ain't gonna judge a mum that cannot bear babes, no more'n they wanna be judges fer havin' no sire." Her contempt clearly not meant for Blue Jay, but those that would look down upon another's disadvantage.

"And ye gots a male what's devoted ta ye despite yer han'icap." He added as he reached over and easily slid Tomen down the bench and right up against Blue Jay. [ "Its rare that she will consider something that would collide with her "Occupation." he said putting emphasis on the word. Blue growled "You act like raising a child would be a out of my capabilities..." ]

"Let's just say, kits' don't hatch with an instruction manual. And if it's your first, be it yers or anothers yer goin' ta make some mistakes." She told her straight. "Ye won't be able ta help it, yer maternal nature yearns ta keep them safe. Once ye've imprinted ta them, ye'll ne'er have another free thought again that won't desire ta think about them too. But take heart gel," Ainsleigh added while stretching out a talon digit to help Ashleigh sever the intestine free and offer her a little daub of pancreas, "ye've some guild mates with a few whelps under their feet. an' plenty others what'll also be first timin' it wit' ye. We'll raise'em all t'gether an' take turns watchin' one anothers... So long as they ain't prey ta one another."

"Ye don't wanna scare the poor vixen, Ainsleigh." Tatsu countered. He looked at Blue and Tomen. "If yer gonna do this, do it wit' yer whole being. Least ways ye'll have our talons an' our hearts ta help ye figure it out."

Ashleigh gripped Ainsleigh's finger for a moment after the intestine broke, but then she opened her maw wide for the pancreas, then spit it out.
