((Sorry for the delay in entries, guys...I've been having some problems, I'm really busy (even though it's the summer...vv) and I just got my wisdom teeth out...Expect more regular entries in the journal now, especially if I can get someone to come over and play with Vei...))
Tori was awaken by a loud, thumping noise coming from the newborn room in his cabin. He shot up out of bed, eyes wide with fear; had Vei fallen, maybe cracked? The man was at the door in a flash, and had it open even faster. He flipped the light on, scanning the room, and then letting out a sigh of relief. Vei was on the floor, sure enough, but he was settled happily in one of the many fluffy beds that Tori had lined the bottom of the room with, for just this occasion. The tall man gently shuffled over to his Tsubasa, stroking its shell.
"Hey...you okay, Vei?" He almost whispered, afraid to not get an answer. The little wings fluttered into life, and the Tsubasa lifted in the air a few inches, before seeming to notice Tori there. It turned up, then down, and then back to its companion, as if to ask him, "Why am I on the floor, and not in my usual bed...?" Before Tori could say anything, though, he had already flapped, rather unsteadily, to his normal place on yet another fluffy bed, in the raftors of the room. With a slight shake of his head, and a chuckle, Tori turned, getting back to bed.
~Morning~
"Vei! Vei, where are you? Breakfast is ready!" Tori called from the kitchen, slightly huffy; his Tsubasa was never late for breakfast, even if he couldn't eat quite yet. It seemed that the company, Tori, Jou, Zaidon, Do'Mai, and the rest of Tori's pets, was extremly exciting for the little Tsubasa. With a frown, Tori started off toward the newborn room, only to find Vei situated quite comfortably on the couch, watching a nature show about butterflies, again.
"Ohh, I see...Well, once it's over, do come to breakfast, won't you?" Tori smiled slightly, turning back to enter the kitchen. Ever since he had seen the first show about butterflies on Tori's rather old and rustic TV, Vei hadn't missed an episode, no matter what. It seemed that there was no limit to his facination with the little, fragile animals that were in many ways connected to him. Tori didn't mind this, of course; he had hoped that Vei would be a Tsubasa that would like to learn, as well as play, so the man could teach him many things in life, without the fear that he would not listen or care. With that thought fresh in his mind, Tori shuffled into the kitchen slowly and softly, so as to not disturb the newest member of the family.
While Tori had been gone attending to Vei, the rest of his companions had already started breakfast, in their own unique ways. Jou was happily settled in the chair next to Tori's, chomping his specially-made wet and dry food; as usual, he got a little bit out of his bowl and sometimes onto other being's plates, but licked it up quickly. Do'Mai was sitting in a way that made it look like he was tending a nest over his chair as he pecked daintily at his pellets, fruit, and veggies. Next to him stood Zaidon, quietly munching his bran mush, and looking quite a bit sleepy; although he was usually quite entergetic in the middle and end of the day, this horse-like being was definitly very far from being a morning-goer. Kai floated a few inches above his chair, his arms crossed on the table, head up and alert; although he, like Vei, did not eat, he loved to sit and chat, or just watch everyone else eat. The rest of Tori's companions ate either around the table or outside, whichever they prefered, and everyone was quite happy with the arrangement.
Tori finally settled down in his chair, picking up his fork and stabbing a piece of scrambled egg gently. "Ahh, food..." He munched quietly for a while, and when almost everyone was done, he rose from his chair, collected the plates and set them in the sink to be washed later, and shuffled back into the family room, to sit and watch butterfly shows with Vei. All in all, the morning had been a good one, and those beds Tori put up in the newborn room had definitly come in handy. Hopefully, Vei would learn not to roll out of bed anymore, although Tori doubted that the fall had any real effect on the Tsubasa, since it seemed to not have noticed.
