Oh Aura could just see the trouble that would happen between these two. Giving another sigh she looked to Esmeralda then crouched down to her level. A hand raised to wipe at the girls tears. "Don't cry now. Ecara isn't like other little girls. She's different. You have to be careful what you do around her because there are a lot of things that she doesn't get to meaning of. Like when you kiss her, in her mind, it means something different than what you mean by it." Aura patted the girl on the head and stood back up. Well she couldn't make Ecara like Esmeralda but she could at least explain things and hope for the best.
Ecara had turned her attention to the fridge, fetching herself an orange and now sitting the on the floor peeling it. She didn't like being chastised, let alone because of Esmeralda, who was on Ecara's turf.

"We really want to learn. and we really would like you to teach us. writing seems..simpler. but we still can't read it, and we can't write on our own. we can only copy what others wrote before us."
He was alittle disappointed when the words didn't get much reaction, but it didn't overly bother him. her praise was more than enough for him and it showed in perked ears and a pleased swishing of his tail. At esmerelda's use of magic, cymarron got that mischevious look.
"Spirits respond to us as well. shall we show you?"
He marked on the ground, quickly and not leaving sratches in the floor. soon there was a sound of thunder..and through the kitchen stampeded a herd of translucent rhino. they didn't disturb anything..except for the sounds of a stampede.

Elias kneeled down to his daughter's level, and said as he patted her on the head. "Lady Aura's right, she is wolf you are snake, snakes like touch wolves don't, why don't you invite her to try a little game of rodo with you, she might like the more physical things." he said as he popped back up, "Does she like physical sports?" Elias asked to Lady Aura, not really knowing what to do to stop those two from arguing.
"Thanks Lady Auara." she said as he wiped the tears from he face, and upon hearing her father's suggestion she light up like a christmass tree. She slowly approached the younger Ecara, "Do you want to learn to play the rodo?" Esmeralda asked hoping that Ecara would answer yes. Esmeralda looked up at the magic that Cymarron was showing her, but her instinct of a snake, took over, she ctouched in front, of Ecara trying to protect her from a threat, and baring her fangs spit, a very large wad of vemon, straight at one of the translucent rhinos, but instead hit her father's leg
"What the....oww" Elias as the acid ate through his pant leg.

Ecara gave Esmeralda a half dirty look as she sat there on the floor chewing on her orange wish was halfway gone at this point. She continued her stare at her until that orange was gone, then licked her fingers clean. Only then did she give a more civil look. "Does it involve blood? If it does then no..."
Aura only sighed and turned a look to Elias. "Yes. Little thing runs around all day. Eclipse can barely keep up with her." A shake of her head. "But she seems to be so difficult lately...wish I knew why." Aura was tempted to go get that book, maybe it would explain something. Honestly she didn't think Ecara didn't just not like Esmeralda. She was a loving girl, perhaps there was more to it.

Vik's peacful slumber was suddenly cut off when a certain someone decided to start stomping on his bed. Vik creaked open one of his eyes. Seeing that it was only Munalisk, he pulled the covers over his head and tried to ignore it. After so many months away, Munalisk's stubbornness has not been detered. If he wanted something, he went through great lengths to get it. And now, he wanted to get out of the room. "Get up already! I want out! I want out!" He started kicking the lump he presumed to be Vik's head. Vik lifted the covers just enough so he could see Munalisk eye to eye. "You want out? There's the door. Use it!" He then flipped over onto his side, almost knocing Munalisk onto the floor. "But it's locked!" Munalisk took flight and started pounding Vik's head with his tiny fists. "Then unlock it!" "With what?" Munalisk held both of his hands in front of him. They both were rounded off at the end where the fingers should be. "Holy crap, Munalisk?" Vik said, sitting up to get a better look, "Did someone chop them off or did they just disappear one day?" "No. The skin just grew between them. I had webbed hands for about a week before my fingers disappeared alltogether. It's common for dragons to go through this stage. It makes way for the claws to grow in." "Oh. That's a relief. So, how long is this thing going to last?" "Probably a few years." "So during that time, I have to do all the things that require gripping?" "Oh, I can grip stuff, just not as well. Opening a door is one thing I can't handle." "Fine. I was planning to get something to eat anyways." Vik kicked the covers off and walked out into the hall, Munalisk glided gracefully behind him. "Hey, all!" he said, walking into the kitchen. "Look who the cat dragged in. No pun intended." He directed the last statement at Cymarron. "Howdy!"

Esmeralda laughed, as she saw that it had been a trick, "Neat trick Mister. Sorry dad." she said as she turned back to face Ecara, nope no blood, it a dance. You get to fly wtthout wings." she smiled as taking a few steps back began to simple movements known as the jenga, her right arm went back and her left back, she brought her left foot up replaced the right foot back and switch her hands, she continued this simple movemet for a few minutes and then as her left foot fell back she let her body fall forward, and shifted her body weight to her right hand throwing her feet above her, and momentarily throwing them into a L postion, before falling back on her legs and spinning her body into a round house kick before stepping back into the jenga. "She rodo," she said as she stood straight up. "Daddy can teach us Capoeira." she giggled.
Elias only laughed as he dusted his pants, and fell to one knee to make sure that nothing else was hurt "do you want to learn how to fly?" he asked Ecara and like his daughteralso lifted his body unto one hand, but unlike her daughter lept into the air his head coming dangeroulsy close to the celling, his body falling back down straight without so much as grazing anyone else.

"My children came pretrained." Nelphean said calmly, as he smiled. He zaped the bowl and fork clean, and replaced them from where he got them. He turned towards the crowd, "I think I am going to go endulge myself to some reading." The elf bowed, and as he was about to leave, he felt himself suddenly get lighter... "now who on earth would want to.."
"But Father, I missed you ever so much, why must you always run away from me?" Nelphean had pratically appeared in the room, but the small gust of wind blowing his cloak and scarf wildly would be proof of his entry. "Then again, are you my father, or are you my brother, or are you simply a cowardly me?" The elf said melodically.

Ecara stared at them both, licked her fingers off once again then stood...and gave a very Eclipse-esque snort before returning to her both, wrapping her arms around Aura's leg and burying her face into her mother's dress. "No thank you."
Okay, something was definitely wrong with the child. But Aura didn't want to over react. She could very well just be upset from being chastised, or anything else for that matter. For the sake of Esmeralda, Aurahkah looked to the girl and forced a smile. "I think Ecara's just a little grumpy." Her look then went to Nelphean. "But you don't get the joy of training them. It's quite enlightening." Thena look over to the others. "Vik and Munalisk, how nice to see you."

Cymarron nodded at Vik, then looked at the smaller dragon.
"Did you bring Cymarron something to eat?"
His tial dropped the book as he shifted weight to look around better, absently coiling around Nailah's calf lightly, as it often did with Aura. he sat quietly after asking his question, almost like waiting for a command.

Nelphean shruged, as he floated in the air. It wasn't a new experience, but it did lack the control he normally held. "Parenting is such a joy, mine... Well, I guess I never knew my parents."
"That certainly explains a lot." The false elf bit at Nelphean, but his mind changed focuses. Who could care about petty grievences when Ecara was not her cheerful self. Nelphean casually put the other Nelphean down, and walked towards Ecara, but stopped half way, and looked at the ground.
"Ecara, I haven't been able to sing you your song yet." The elf spoke softly, "Perhaps if you would like, I could sing it for you by the mantle?" His melodic voice shrank in the crowd, they were so loud, their minds were very loud, the elf had to focus on keeping his thoughts in his own mind, and away from others... He was really begining to hate crowds.
"Ecara proves her worth ever more this hour, as she saves me a great deal of pain from me." Nelphean bowed, and zoped out of the kitchen, and sat in his favorite chair in the library, but his ever increasing stack of books...
"I really should read one before I add two to the pile."

"That's it? I'm gone for 5 months and that's all I get? Is your hospitality running low or are you still mad about the hole I punched in your floor?" "Shut up. You're lucky that she can stand being in the same room with you, much less letting you live here." He then turned to Cymarron. "I don't think you would want to eat him. I imagine he tastes foul, like a mix of old leather and gasoline." "Munalisk stuck his tongue out at Cymarron for the comment and then scowled at Vik for the response. He landed carefully on Vik's shoulder and looked around the room, seeing several new faces. The first person he noticed was the girl hiding behind Aura's leg. "Hey? Who's that kid?" He tilted his head to the side to get a better look at her. "Why does she have a tail? Do all human babies have tails? If so, where are their tails?" He pointed at Tyler and then at Esmerelda.

She chuckled at Munalisk. "That is Ecara. And she's not human, so she's not like other humans. She's mine and Eclipse's, a bond child from our soul bond."
Ecara shifted slightly so that one eye was looking towards Nelphean. The brown orb watched him for a second before she pulled away from her mother almost reluctantly and took hold of Nelphean's hand. "Okay..." One ear flopped back in unhappy fashion.
Aura watched her daughter carefully. She had been so happy earlier that day. But her behavior was growing more and more worrisome to the bond child's mother. Aura was definitely have to reference that book. "Nelphean, be careful with her plese...she's...not herself today."

Cymarron's eyes watched the little dragon, and the second it was distracted, grabbed him off Vik's shoulder and tried gnawing on it's leg.
"Let us see if it is foul tasting. and what is gasoline?"

Nelphean accepted Ecara's hand, and accepted Aurahkah's words of advice. The elf slowly guided the way to the fire place, jsut around the corner from the kitchen. "Ecara, do you remeber singing with me?" Nelphean asked, as he sat near the firepit, and took off his scarf and cloak, he wasn't wearing his armour. His clothes had several tears and a circular hole, but they were pretty nice. His hair was wet.

""Gah!" Cymarron caught him off gaurd. Before he realized what was happening, several sharp teeth were already embedded in his legg. "What the hell is you problem?!?!?" He screamed, jabbing both of Cymarron's eyes with his finger=less hands. "Cymarron! Let go of him, now! He's not a chew toy!" He hoped Munalisk had enough sense not to go into gaurdian mode. He would grow big enough to split Cymarron's Jaw apart.
