"It appears we are all parents then." Eli says.
Aura starts to speak"We have one daugther, well, two," she ponders a little and keeps going, "Our youngest is actually our niece, but we can't bring ourselves to see her as any other than our child."
"Plus ocacionally taking care of some kids who have nowhere to stay." Eli adds.
Dragon? Well, explains the tails, and the weird whoosh and few moments without light when Mutaro’s mate left. Then again, Victoria was used to seeing reptilian creatures with wings. She tried not to think about it too hard.
“Aww that’s wonderful,” she smiled. “I’ve got a friend taking care of my 5 month old son.”
Mutaro nodded to the woman's comment, still holding his smile. Though, he seemingly stood a bit taller, a low sound coming from his chest, like a purr, but more rough and deeper.
"Aye, something which I'm quite proud of, and still surprised."
The male tilted his head, "Must be a tiny little thing your little one."
"Our's are… not actually our's." said Skylar.
Victoria chuckled. “You should’ve seen him when he was a newborn. Foster parents?” She asked Skylar.
"Um- Yes." she answered after a while, "That's the technical term I guess."
Mutaro's gaze looked over to the one who spoke; Skylar. His head remained tilted, a more curious expression crossing his features. 'Foster parent'? Couldn't say he had ever heard that term before. Then again, he probably did, but never thought too much about it.
He glanced to Victoria, asking the question outloud.
"Not sure what that means, but I'm assuming something like someone taking in orphans?"
"Um- well actually some of them are orphans. But no. Most of their parents are still alive." Skylar told him.
"If it helps, foster parents are a child's legal guardian without adopting said kid. I had a few, back when I was younger." Aura explained.
"It's a temporary arrangement." Matthew said.
(can I join this? I have a character named cooper who keeps watch over two kids although they aren't his. )
(Yeah sure, this may be kinda dead but you're welcome to join)
(it's time to perform some necromancy?)
(Yep)
Can I join as well? Will characters who have to raise their siblings count?//
(Yep)
Yay!//
Lily came in and immediately started freaking out. “Oh Xolnas, I lost them!” she panicked as she looked for her siblings.
Aura heard a voice of a young person, "Darling, do you hear that?" She asked, to which her husband nodded, "We must help, don't we?" And they both stood up and walked towards the voice.
They saw a girl with red hair and freckles looking through every nook and cranny, hoping to find at least one of her siblings. She was the oldest after all.
Eli could sense something, fear, desperation, no, too exaggerated, just worryness, Aure let hin know she caught that too, "Ms… Do you need any help?" He asks.
(Sorry for being so late, things were busy yesterday…)
(it’s okay)
Lily froze and turned to face them. “Please…I got separated from my siblings and could really use some help finding them.”
"Oh my," Aura said as she rushed towards the girl, "Any description, any clue of where she could be?"
“There’s so many of them…” Lily sighed as she rubbed her head. “The one time I get separated from them, I lose them completely.”
Eli stepped in and tried to calm down the girl in front of him, "Ms. If we may…" he looks at Aura, they both nod in agreement, "We are… ahem… psychics of some sort… we can try reading. If you allow us, of course."
"If not, we can help to look for them, in the traditional way," adds Aura.
