"I didn't know there were so many Fae. Christi talked about them like they were incredibly rare. She said that shapeshifters were dying out, and that her generation would be the last." said Skylar frowning.

"Not were we come from, there are many in Europe, the ones on America are generally inmigrants," explained Eli

Mutaro had moved to his mate's side. He lightly rubbed her shoulders, the strange 'purr' coming from his chest. His head lifted as he heard 'fae'.
"Fae are rather…annoying creatures…no offense."

The male paused, lifting a hand towards the one who called himself 'Eli', "Fae and dragons don't have very good relations, but nowhere near as bad as with humans."

A sudden 'tck' came from Nidatri. The tip of her tail flicked in a rather annoyed appearance.
Her arms crossed in front of her chest, "Fae, don't get me started."

A nervous chuckle came from Mutaro, "Yea, supposedly a Dragon King of old made a bet with the Fairy King, and lost the bet. The thing dragons lost, was a lush part of forest. Course, dragons figure the fae used underhanded strategies to win, but no one is for sure."

"Honestly, not sure how you can put up with them Mutaro."

Mutaro shrugged, smile remaining, "Once again, beats the hell out of me how I put up with everything. I'm only one of few dragons willing to talk with the fae."
He paused in thought, "Though, now thinking about it, there are very few creatures dragons are willing to work with, seeing as we have a few select allies."

"We have rules back home, what a fae is allowed to do, what they aren't, what magic can they use and to what extend, from what I remember, my mother always talked about how she missed the days when she was able to roam around the forest without a permit…" Eli shrugs, "Like shapeshifters, there are many types of fae, some more friendly than others."

"All I ever knew about fairies were the old tales," said Skylar "Warnings not to step in a fairy circle, or to never tell a fairy your.." she glanced at Eli,suddenly looking scared. "…name."

"Also for a fairy not to tell their name," Aura stepa into the conversation, clearing her throath, "Or any creature, of that nature, is an unspoken rule."

Eli looks at her and places his hand on her shoulder to calm her down, "Names hold a meaning, which is why we never use our full names, or the ones we were given at birth, though I guess I'm more human than anything else. Besides, there are even more rules related to names."

Mutaro raised an eyebrow as the woman explained stating names was frowned upon. Well, at least real names, or that is what he was assuming. Though as Eli explained a bit more, a slow nod came from him.

"I do have to agree. Certain names hold a certain power about them. There are very few names that bring fear to a dragon…"

"But there are a few that come to mind," Nidatri suddenly spoke, voice barely audible, "Names dare not spoken…"

"We're just normal little humans." muttered Matthew. "We give away names like candy at the solstice."

"You're right", Aura says, "At the end of the day we just forget about what we were taught and do it anyways."

"I grew up in the capitol." said Matthew shrugging. "Nobody believed in fairies, because no one had ever seen one. Skylar lived in the forests, I guess fae are a lot more common there."

"Indeed they are," said Eli, "Most don't like the constant buzzing of the cities and everything it involves, can't say I blame them." she shrugs and fixes his glasses, Aura looks at him with a smile and laughs, "You aren't so different, darling."

"I didn't really like the capitol much myself," replied Matthew.
"I thought the capitol was great!" said Skylar smiling. "It was nice to be around so many people after being alone in the woods for so long."

"Honestly if I could move back to the countryside I'll would do it…" Eli just shrugs and stretches, "The city may be a little bit too much for us, despite living on one since the 70s…" Aura sighs and rests her eyes while resting her chin on her hand.

"I like living in the country, but I don't get to enjoy it much," sighed Matthew "I'm to busy with work,"
"You mean Xavier?"

"Work and more work, a struggle we can all relate," Aura says. "May I ask who Xavier is? if it isn't too intrussive for me to do so, of course."

"Xavier is one of the children we're taking care of." said Skylar.
"Probably the most problematic, one in the whole bunch," Matthew commented. "Things have a habit of breaking when he's around."
"Oh come on you know you love him," she joked.
"I do, but the staff doesn't."

"Sounds like our youngest," Aura said jokingly, "Little Wren setting things on fire, setting on smoke detectors, throwing ashes at people…" Eli said in a not so jokingly tone, contrary to his wife, "Just like your brother and Lizbeth…" she said.

"Xavier is the reason I live off of coffee." mumbled Matthew resting his chin on his hand. "He's just a bit to loud, and does everything a bit to fast."

"How old is he?" Aura asks, "Kids can be that way when younger."

"Honestly having patience is my only advice." Eli adds.

"He is way to old for this," growled Matthew.
"He's fourteen." Skylar answered. "So yes, he really should know better."
"He does know better he just gets excited easily."

"Well, that's normal for someone his age," Aura's tone was meant to be uplifting though she wasn't sure if it was to Matthew and Skylar, "Kids and teens can be… messy, exhausting, loud, energetic, among many other things, but I suppose is only natural to be that way when you are at that age."

"Exhausting, yep that's the word. That describes them all perfectly," said Matthew. Skylar nodded a little, looking out the window. "But hey, today's our day off! I'm sure they'll be fine by themselves."
"It's either that or I won't have a house to come back to."

"That's parenting, I guess, I still remember the day Wren almost burned down the kitchen…" Eli sighs, "And the time Isla broke a few chairs while trying to reach out the cookies…" Aura added.

"We even went as far as getting some of their friends to stay with us for a while, more kids to raise…" Despite his tired tone, Eli seems to laughs a little while saying that, "I still got a photo of them, is that such a mom thing to do?" Aura joins him and lets out a small laugh while looking at a photo she kept on her pocket.

(OOC: This is the photo, btw, you can also use images if you have them, not necessarily drawings, any image that helps as visuals.)

Skylar laughed "Yeah, we know a lot about chaos."
"Tapestries on fire."
"Lots of broken dishes."
"Getting hit with pine cones."
"The usual."

"Sounds awfully familiar," Aura laughs, "At least we hadn't had any broken chair after both of them grew taller than me," she looks at Eli, "But not the same heigh at you, honey, you still have to reach things on the top shelf for us." She smiles and Eli smiles at her little comment.

"Yeah, no broken chairs yet." said Matthew.
"Actually, remember Sora broke a chair on the first day?"
"Oh I forgot about that! But we got it fixed."
"Sora's one of the other kids we're taking care of." explained Skylar, "She's a lot calmer than Xavier, but the first day was a mess for everyone."

"Remember when Beateiz stayed whit us?" Aura asks Eli, who replies before she even finishes the question, "There were cheese and beans all over the kitchen and a bunch of chickens on the garden."

Matthew laughed a little "Greysen broke into the pantry one night, apparently he couldn't sleep and that was the first door he found."

(100% for the chaos)
Aura couldn't help but to chuckle as she heard the stories, "We had three teenages raiding the fridge at midnight once, comes with taking care of your child's friends, I guess."
