Cymarron's ear perked up after Eclispe was chastized, but he said nothing more, concentrating on his own thoughts for the moment, until his ears perked up again.
"Would others want to hear about anything? Cymarron has..seen...many things. perhaps Cymarron could entertain in this manner? Or maybe Cymarron would summon his Warder for the little one's amusement?"
His tail had already moved to the fridge, opened it and was looking for anything that might be something to eat while he talked.

Aura went over to the pair, picking up Ecara. "A Warder....I'd like to see that, I think we all would. The way you talk of them they're quite a sight indeed." Her look went down Ecara who was fiddling with the bracelet around Aura's wrist.
"Mommy." She looked up from the engraved gold over to Cymarron, her smile only revealing one fang this time. "Cymarron. Spirit. Warder."

Niah walked slowly through the forest with the child in her arms. He couldn't be very old and he had long laid his head on her shoulder. She thought for a minute he might be asleep. She smiled to herself and wandered into the manor. She shook the boy gently in her arms and asked "Hungry little one?"
"Uh-huh."
Niah walked to the kitchen with the boy in her arms. She entered and her eyes widened. It appeared they had new company. She saw what she swore was a cat. Sort of. "Hello?" She looked at Aura and her mouth dropped. She too had a child but hers was different. "Did Eclipse..." she stopped. She wasn't really sure how to ask. Did Eclipse get with Aurora? Or someone else back in life? It's part of him...looks like him.
The little boy in her arms was very small and had pale skin, almost translucent it was so white. His hair was blond but so light it too looked white. He currently had his head laying on Niah's shoulder. After he heard her address some people he looked up revealing startling blue eyes. He looked at Cymarron. "Kitty?" Then he looked at Eclipse "Puppy?" He looked at Niah. "Food?"

Cymarron nodded and he got into a crouch, concentrating. the air gained a static charge about him, wisps of smoke off of his fur as he began to growl lowly, his lip curling. it wasn't normally so difficult, but he had not summoned a Warder in a long time. the growl became a snarl, as he focused a portion of his soul, and shaped it, melding it into the form he was taught. he roared loadly, and a black and red stream of smoky essence ripped out of him back, forming into a sabertoothed tiger of black fur and red stripes, matching Eclispe in size. Cymarron sat in a kneel, purring lightly to himself as the Warder looked around with bright yellow eyes.

Ecara gave out a yelp, ears dropping back as she tried to curl herself into a ball and bury herself in Aurahkah's hold. Her hands went up to cover her ears, trying to drown out some sound. Dual colored eyes glancing, she caught sight of the creature, and tried to hide herself more. "Mommy..."
Eclipse padded over to the warder, looking it eye to eye as it matched him in height. "That's interesting." A sniff at the creature. "Ecara it's alright."
She stroked the hair of the girl she was holding. "Sh, he won't hurt you." So saying she set her down, still holding on of her hands as the child refused to let go. "See, and he's only a little bigger than you are."

Niah's eyes widened and she felt the little boy in her arms cling to her even tighter.
The boy watched with wide eyes and then buried his face in the woman's neck. He didn't like things he had never seen before. He wrapped his arms tightly around her neck and whimpered.
Niah stroked his back soothingly and said "It's ok. I don't think he's going to hurt any of us." She gently pried his hands from her neck to keep him from choking her and tried to set him down.
He wasn't having it. He clung even tighter but he did look at the cat and blink. He was curious but too scared to do anything. He saw the little girl who looked funny. She didn't seem to be scared but she had probably seen this all before. Everything was new to him.

The Warder looked at eclispe and snorted lightly, stretching itself out, showing its claws and yawning, before it moved to Escara, whiskers twitching, before it purred and licked up along her face, and bumping it's head agasint her nuzzling. it's tail however, swatted Eclispe across the face as it turned, much to Cymarron's amusement...and then he noticed another with a child, and turned his predator's gaze to that couple.

Ecara giggled at the large cat, hands coming up to bed the creatures head. "Kitty." She nuzzled it back and took a few sniffs of air with her sensitive nose, and twitched her ears in response, then turned a smile to her mother. "Kitty Mommy!"
Eclipse gave a snort and took a snap at the creatures tail. "Watch where you're swinging that thing buddy." He fluffed his wings in almost agitation, before he padded over to Aurahkah's side.
Aura chuckled slightly. Cymarron had a boldness about him when it came to everyone else. She admired that. Her attention went from a nod to confirm Ecara's identification, to look at Niah. "Looks like you brought something home with you."

Niah walked over to the sink and pried the boy's arms from her. She set him gently on the sink and looked at him. He was so little and so scared. His face was smeared with dirt and he had leaves tangled in his fair hair. She smiled at him and reached for a rag. After wetting it with warm water she gently washed the dirt off his face and pulled the leaves from his hair. "There. That's better. Now what's your name sweetheart?"
"T-Tyler." Her hands had felt good on his face. Almost like his mothers.
Niah glanced at Cymarron not entirely sure about him. "Tyler my name is Nailah but you can call me Niah. This is Tyler everyone. Tyler this is Aurahkah and the 'puppy' is Eclipse." She looked at the little girl and smiled "And who might that little one be?"

Aurahkah looked over past Niah to the little boy she had brought with her. "Hello Tyler." She then gaev Ecara a soft push. "Go on. Tell them your name, you know it." Then a quick gesture to Cymarron for Niah herself. "This is Cymarron, Niah."
Wringing her hands and looking down at her feet, then one hand playign with the tip of her tail she took a moment to regain her courage and then didn't hesitate as she looked to both Nailah and Tyler. "Ecara."
"Wow...everyone is getting kids."

Cymarron's Warder was content to plop on it's side purring, batting lightly at Escara much like a kitten would play with yarn. Cymarron paid the warder little mind. though he coudl see through it's eyes, and give it mental commands should he need to. However his gaze was at the moment on Tyler, but he remained still and silent, just keeping his gaze on the boy.
"This one is afriad. Cymarron smells it on the air."
Then his eyes shifted to Nailah, cataloging her scent, though it was not the one he sought. his eyes never wavered, and he kept the fixed on the two newcomers.
"You are another of this den's pack, yes?"

Niah met Cymarron's gaze. She slipped a protective hand around Tyler and nodded gracefully. "Yes. I suppose if you call this place a den I would be one of the pack." She wondered when he had come to be here. She swung her gaze to Ecara and smiled. "Hi Ecara." She let go of Tyler and kneeled down to the little girl's height. "You're a sweet one aren't you. How old are you?"
Tyler looked at the one called Cymarron and crossed his arms. "I'm not scared..." He tried very hard to be brave but his bottom lip was trembling. "Miss Niah...can I have something to eat?" His stomach growled and he bit his lip and blushed. "I'm hungry."
Niah smiled at the little boy. "Certainly." She stood up and looked at Ecara. "Are you hungry too?"

Ecara looked at Niah and confusion seemed to cross her features. She wasn't sure what she was asking. And with that confusion one ear fell back as Eclipse's often did. Then a moment spent trying to figure out before she retreated to Eclipse, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Daddy?"
Aura merely smiled softly and shook her head. "I'll take care of her Niah, she has trouble understanding things still." Walking to the fridge she opened it up and pulled out an orange. Then she took a seat on the floor. "Come here Ecara." A smile, as the little wolf featured girl bounded over, plopping herself in her 'mother's' lap. Aura showed her the orange, then watched as Ecara watched her peel that orange with utmost fascination. Separating a piece of the fruit itself she handed it to her, then took a piece herself and popped it into her own mouth in demonstration.
A smile, giggle and then a repeat of the action. Then a rather satisfied smile after that as she relieved Aura of the rest of the orange, picking at it herself.
"Aw, you're gonna turn her into an orange junkie like you."

She pulled out pots and began to make some macaroni and cheese. After she had mixed the cheese in with the noodles she dumped the mixture in a bowl and set it on the table. She picked Tyler up and grabbing a fork she sat down in the chair with him in her lap. She handed him the fork and said "Do you like macaroni and cheese Tyler?"
"Dunno...'roni and cheese?" He took a small bite and smiled. "I do like roni and cheese!"
Niah smiled and watched him eat quickly. When he had eaten all of it he leaned back against Niah's chest and yawned.
He lifted his hands and rubbed his eyes then gave her a small smile. He showed her the empty bowl and said "All done."
Niah nodded and said "Good job. Now come on big guy. It's time for bed." She picked him and the bowl up and said "Nice to meet you Cymarron. Aura, clip, Cara I'll see you later." She carried the tired little boy to her room and laid him gently in her bed. She kissed him softly on the foreheand and went to leave but stopped when he grabbed her dress.
"Stay with me? Just till I fall asleep?"
Niah's heart twisted. He had so much going on inside his little body it was almost too much for her to comprehend. She nodded and climbed in beside him smiling when he snuggled back against her. She began to hum and soon they both slipped into dreamland.

Aura laughed, still watching Ecara. "You'r making a mess."
However, she wasn't focusing on the orange she had been given, something better had caught her attention, and then a pointed finger went to behind Aurahkah. "What?"
She turned her head, looking to see what Ecara was pointing out now. "That's the window. And beyond that is out side."
"Outside..." Standing she placed the remains of her orange on the nearby counter then rant o Eclipe, tugging on his fur. "Outside."
"What? You wanna go outside?" He cocked his head to the side, and swished his tail idly. As did she. "Alright, outside it is, come on." SO saying he nudged the girl and started outward.
Ecara followed a few steps before stopping, looking back to Aurahkah. "Mommy." Then she made that come here gesture.
"You want me to come to? Alright." Standing she walked over to her, taking her hand then glanced over to Cymarron. "CUrious little thing isn't she. Take care Cymarron." With a nod to him, she proceeded out with Ecara and Eclipse.
