Orpheus rushed after his father before he tried to climb up onto the lounge to sit next to him. He grunted a few times because he wasn’t quite tall enough to be adept at climbing furniture.
Desiree chuckled at the scene before she looked over at Zach. “Well, we have dinner cooking, so you’re free to stay, brother,” she invited. “I wouldn’t mind catching up with you.”
Zach nodded at Desiree. “It would be nice to have dinner with you guys.” He grinned in amusement. “Maybe you could come by our house some time and have dinner there too? We’re all going to be in seperate places as we grow older you know.”
Kalysto chuckled and reached down to pick up the young half-elf. He sat him in his lap and patted the top of his head, nodding at him. “Better luck next time.”
Desiree tilted her head at Zach. Last she knew, her brother was still living with her parents. So, she decided to ask.
“Your house? Do you mean mother and father’s? I haven’t heard that you found a place to live with Holly yet… Have you?”
Meanwhile, Orpheus grinned as his father picked him up. He then leaned into his father’s chest as he pulled back his ears to make his head a bit flatter and easier to pat.
Zach shook his head. “Find a house? In today’s crazy market? With all the reservations and such? Yeah, dream on, Desiree.” He sighed. “I’m still at home with your mother and father. For now…”
“Times are hard. Not everybody is as fortunate as you, you know… there are still many people out there waiting for houses. They can’t build them fast enough. Worse, more people keep trying to come here to add to the list.” Zach rubbed the back of his head. “They’re beginning to arrive here in boats now. Or by any means they can.”
Kalysto chuckled at the half-elf and moved his hand away again, resuming his tv-watching hobby. “Good boy. I can’t wait until you’re big enough to get me a beer.”
Desiree sighed at Zach before she shook her head. “All that stuff is rather silly. It’s not like the war is that bad. Most of the things elsewhere are starting to settle down..”
Meanwhile, Orpheus stared up at Kalysto before he piped out, “Beer? Wha tha? Why beer?”
Zach shrugged. “I could probably get an abandoned house in the new territory. But living here is hot property. Your house is probably already worth over 50 million Gil right now. If you consider inflation. People are offering that much to try and get onto the island and secure land here.”
He sighed. “Some people are even petitioning to fell all the trees. And build houses. It’s pretty bad you know.”
Kalysto grinned. “Maybe we should sell this house, and move elsewhere.” He hummed in thought. “But that would require buying another house….” He nudged Orpheus. “Beer is good for the soul. I like it.”
Desiree quickly shook her head in defense. “No, no. I meant them, not you. I’d rather have you stay here around where we are,” she explained. “It’s rather nice that our entire family is within walking distance.”
She then pouted at Zach’s other words. “Yea, I wouldn’t want the woods to be cut down. They are quite nice. And the monsters might be annoying, but they are unique.”
Desiree then shot Kalysto an agitated glare before she responded, “We are not selling this house. We’ve gotten it fixed up pretty nicely. And you are not teaching our toddler about beer!”
Kalysto waved a hand at Desiree. “Oh calm down…” He grinned. “Not like I’m gonna invite him to drink it. What does it matter anyway if the kid gets his old man a beer? No harm in it…” The blood elf chuckled and put his feet up on the coffee table once more.
“And don’t worry,” He said as he fished the remote control out of the cushion crack. “We’re not going anywhere. Business is good. I have a herb farm in the north. And it’s quiet here. Nice and peaceful. Not at all like where I came from.”
Zach sighed. “Well if the people get their way…”
“Father would never let the humans have their way, Zach. You know that,” Desiree hastily retorted. “I doubt either he nor mother care much for the plans of the humans.”
She then walked over to Kalysto before she poked his nose. “Just don’t teach our son about drinking beer. There’s no need to make him a drunkard, understood?”
“Desi, dear. You can’t stop him you know. One day he’s going to grow into a big strong man. And a big strong man does a big amount of work. And at the end of the day he’s thirsty. He need a big cold beer.” He reached out to pat Orpheus on the shoulder. “He’s little now, but one day he’s going to get big. Don’t deny him one of the greatest things ever created.” The Warlock chuckled. “And when he’s old enough, I need to take him to a bar to celebrate his coming of age.”
Zach looked awkward. “You know, if you drink too much beer, you get severe liver damage…”
Desiree tilted her head to look at Zach. She then drifted her eyes down to his gut before she rolled her eyes and muttered, “This coming from the guy who snuck into mother’s supply whenever he could…”
She then moved behind Kalysto to lightly whap the back of his head. “And that still doesn’t mean that you need to ingrain it into him when he’s innocent.”
She then smirked at the two of them before she leaned over Kalysto so that he got a good view of her cleavage. “Now, do you two want some apple cider?”
Zach frowned at Desiree’s muttering. “Hey,” He frowned. “I’m educated now. I wouldn’t drink myself into oblivion but… well. A drink every now and then wouldn’t be bad.”
Kalysto flinched when he was whacked upside the head. He rubbed it, cringing. When the clevage came into view though, he stopped his complaining and smiled. “Yes dear,” He chuckled. “Some apple-cider would be lovely. As long as they come with a side of…” He looked around at the others. “Well… I can’t really…” A nervous laugh escaped him.
Desiree released a soft chuckle before she leaned in to whisper into Kalysto’s ear, “Oh, I wouldn’t worry too much about my brother’s opinion of you over anything you say. He’s a flaming idiot who is as perverted as it gets. His porn collection is… extensive.”
She then got up to move into the kitchen. After a few minutes, she returns with a few glasses of apple cider so that she could give them to Kalysto, Orpheus, Zach, and herself.
Kalysto raised his brows. “He has a porn collection?” He eyed off the other male, silent for a brief period. When Desiree returned, he took his glass from her, nodding in appreciation. His attention turned to Zach again shortly afterwards. “Porn collection, my… probably all humans, I’m guessing.”
Zach shook his head. “Would it be anything else? I’m not into… weird shit.” He looked at Orpheus and chuckled. “Is he big enough to hold that? Why don’t you get him a sippy cup?”
“He likes thinking that he’s a big boy,” Desiree promptly replied. Soon after, she sat down next to Orpheus and Kalysto so that she could help her son drink from his glass.
“And yes, Kalysto, Zach has a very large porn collection. However, father has tried to burn it a few times.” She smirked as she looked up at her brother once more. “Have you gotten any smarter about hiding it?”
Zach shook his head. “It’s even smaller now… Holly gets pissed and then she takes away all my good stuff… even the blonde girlies edition of Playboy.” He looked very dissapointed.
Kalysto snorted. “Eww, blondes. Don’t really care for them. I find them to be annoying and self-important. I mean, look at my brother… he’s probably blonde underneath all that red-hair burn he has going on.” He watched Orpheus hold the glass and drink it. “He doesn’t need a sippy-cup. He’s quite co-ordinated, unlike your regular young humans.”
Desiree rolled her eyes. However, she kept the majority of her attention on Orpheus, because she didn’t want him to spill the cider all over Kalysto’s lap. As the boy continued to happily drink, she spoke out to Zach, “I suppose… Since I know Kalysto has a collection hidden somewhere.. You can ask him to hide that stuff for you.”
She then pulled the glass away from Orpheus once it was empty. Nodding, she walked back into the kitchen so that she could finish up making dinner.
Kalysto frowned heavily. “I have a stash of porn somewhere? Really? This is the first I’ve heard of it…” He glanced down into the depth of his drinking glass and flicked his ears back. “I don’t keep things like that, sorry. I don’t look at pictures of sex. I prefer to participate in it.” A small grin etched the edge of his mouth.
“That Drake is taking her time eating.” He glanced towards the door. “Not that I mind.”
Seferia had indeed finished eating by now. However, she was just sitting there in the grass and meticulously grooming her scales. She seemed to take more time than was necessary to clean each square inch of her hide. However, she finish started to finish up not long after Kalysto thought about her. So, she strolled back into the house before she plopped down on the floor again so that she could resume grooming.
Meanwhile, Desiree added a few more spices to the meat before she began to cut it up for serving. So, in a few moments, she returned to the living room, deciding to be informal tonight, and delivered the plates to Kalysto, Orpheus, Milena, and Zach.
“Dinner’s served.”
Milena screeched with happiness as she was fed and sat down on the floor with her plate, making a rather sloppy job of eating. Despite the face she was sloppy, she still took the time to clean her claws after she was done. She watched Seferia preening herself, then looked down at her own arm, licking it experimentally.
“Yuck…”
Kalysto nodded his head. “That was rather quick. Thank you, Desi.”
Seferia paused in her grooming to watch Milena for a few moments. She then bent her head over to the small halfling before she snorted in the girl’s face.
“Dragons are creatures above mortals. Keep yourself more kept. Don’t let dirt soil your scales. Eat and act with grace,” the dragon demanded of the little halfling.
With that said, she returned to grooming.

Meanwhile, Jenna made her way home. Once inside her house, she decided to seek out her mate, for she was certain that he hadn’t had an easy time with a mute infant to take care of.
Sephiroth was in the master bedroom of his house, sitting at his desk. In the last few days with nobody else to watch over Kether, he had set the child nearby him whereever he had gone. He had also taken his work home with him, as it simply would not have worked out to take an infant to work.
He didn’t know Jenna was home yet and just sat there, eyeing off the infant occaisionally. He didn’t seem upset and so Sephiroth wasn’t worried. For now.
–
Milena squeaked and rolled onto her back. Though not harmed in any way, she was surprised by the response that the big dragon gave her. “Grace…”
Just before Jenna arrived home, Kether began to squirm about, for he was getting cranky from not being fed recently. A soft rasping noise escaped his throat; however, the boy never quite managed to cry out.
Meanwhile, Jenna slipped into the house before she did a quick sweep around the area to see if everything was in order. Once she found that things were adequate, she began to make her way to the bedroom so that she could find Sephiroth.

Seferia smirked at Milena before she bobbed her head. “Yes, poise and grace. That alone will help you stand out from the moronic animals that we dragons have to associate with.”
Sephiroth heard the rasping sound and moved to his feet, glancing down at the infant with great curiousity. He put a hand on the infant’s head, then gently picked him up and carried him out of the room, heading for the kitchen so he could feed him.
He stopped in the hallway when he saw Jenna, nodding at her. “Ah, you’re back… very good.”
–
“Dumb dumbs…” Milena nodded. “See them a lot. No like them…”
Jenna paused as she saw Sephiroth. Soon enough, she gave him a small smile before she bobbed her head at him.
“Yes, I only got back a short time ago. I hope I wasn’t gone long,” Jenna replied.
Meanwhile, Kether continued to release a raspy cry for food. He squirmed as Sephiroth carried him, but this was mostly because he was upset in general.
