An Evening Out By The Pond
Characters: Aikuen, Kentar
Location: Moledeep
Moledeep: Dibbins Garden
Its a nice cool autumn afternoon, and the otters, every single one of them, are at the pond. At the pond you say? Yes, yes they are. Aikuen has set out a cloth by the 'shore' near the shallows, where both the older otters would watch the little ones, in their bundles. They are wearing their new dresses that Amy made, as they hold each others rudders giggling up a storm. Fira has fallen asleep, curled up next to Aik, who sits by watching the kids as she sleeps. Aik smiles and strokes her headfur, as he makes sure the kids stay put, and play nice
There are stoats! Okay. There will be stoats! In four or five seconds. Now there's stoats! Three of them! A papa stoat, a brother stoat, and a little stoat! The little one is Chris, and he's running ahead of Robin and Kentar. "Slow down, Chris, don't want to fall!" Kentar chuckles. "Hey my otter family!" he smiles.
Aikuen yawns and looks up, just in time to see Chris fall to the ground. He chuckles, as Chris gets right back up and continues to run ahead of them, "Heh... Heyo stoats..." he tilts his head at the 'my', "You guys... are silly..."
Robin blinks as Chris falls over then laughs as he gets right back up. The stoat smiles and shakes his head before sitting next to Aikuen. Kentar watches Chris, who's wearing a pair of shorts, jump into the pond, giggling and laughing as he splashes about. His father sits next to Robin and Aik, and chuckles. "You know Aik. If Chris didn't have otters teach him how to swim, I'd be worried about him being there by himself." he smirks, the stoat keeping an extremely close eye on his son. "How are you this evening?"
Aikuen grins as Chris swims about, "Heh... He is a fine swimmer..." he yawns again, "I'm fine... just having a little spot out by the water. You know... before it gets too cold..." Winter is very depressing for otters, "But good in general. Aye..."
Kentar chuckles and nods slowly. "Yeah." he smiles, peeking at Fira. "Hope we weren't interrupting anything." he chuckles quietly, smiling. Robin opens up that book he's been reading, laying down and starting to read again, somewhere out of the way.
Aikuen looks over at Fira and chuckles, running a claw over her check slowly. She mmms lightly as she bats away at it. Cause she knows what it is. Aik laughs, "Nah, just resting and such... Spending a lot of time together..." he nods and chuckles, "How about the stoats? Still stoaty?"
Kentar tilts his head a little bit. "Stoaty?" he asks, chuckling. "Yeah. We are." he grins. Chris is even more stoaty. "Yeah." he smiles, tilting his head at Fira and then towards their kids. "So...how's the family holding up?" he asks, chuckling.
Aikuen nods and smiles, "Ah, good..." he blinks and looks toward the other otters, still stroking the headfur of his wife, "Were doing good. I think Fira has got this mothering thing down. At least, she has put up a good shield for it..." Hard to tell, if she is struggling, "Ella and Venei have both stop biting, though if you play with them long enough. They will start to bite again... Still think its playing!" he grins.
Kentar nods slowly and smiles a little. "Ah. Good!" he laughs and grins. "I didn't like the biteyness. Glad Chris never bit." he chuckles quiet before yawning and leaning back on his paws, looking to the little otters. "They're so like they're parents." he laughs.
Aikuen chuckles and rubs his muzzle, "Yah... All he did was yank out my whiskers. I only have a few to spare!" he chuckles and nudges Kentar, "What? That they are handsome and beautiful creatures? Strong as a badgers! And fast as a hares!" he laughs, as he know what the stoat really meant, "Were both biters..." he winks.
Kentar laughs and smirks a little, nodding slowly. "Yeah! Except they're parents are ugly as rats!" he laughs. "No offense Will and Amy." he mumbles, laughing with a grin. "So Aik." he says, looking back to Chris. "Need any breaks from the little ones? I'd be happy to watch them for you if you wanted!"
Aikuen blows a raspberry at Kentar, "Your so mean! Hurt two things in one go!" he chuckles and elbows the stoat in the side, before sighing and going to rest on his paws, like Kentar, "Well... i dont know... They are a handful, but so far they have been okay... But we have been really tired lately... they do drain yah..." he rubs his chin fur, thinking about it.
Kentar chuckles softly. "Yeah. Sorry Aik." he smirks then chuckles quietly. "Yes, I can keep an eye on them for you! Let ole Nunky Kentar keep an eye on them!" the stoat laughs and grins.
Aikuen raises an eyebrow at Kentar, "Nunky Kentar?" he snorts and laughs, "TeeHee!" he sighs and nods slowly after a bit, "Okay why not!... Perhaps sometime tomorrow?" he wants to spend time with them, for the rest of the day all the same. But it would be good to have a little break once in awhile.
Kentar laughs a little and nods slowly. "Yeah! Its what I always called my uncle. Nunky Kentar." he chuckles. "I'm named for my uncle you know." he nods. "Anyways. Tomorrow's fine!" he smiles wide.
Aikuen tilts his head and nods, "That make since... Great Uncle Kentar?" he chuckles, "See... because... never mind..." He snorts, "Ah... Okay then... ill let you know. Just... well you know... feed them and take them for a nap... OH! Don't over stimulate them, or else they get fighty, and bitey..." they think its fun.
Kentar laughs and nods slowly. "Feed, nap, no over stimulation!" he laughs. "Got it." the stoat nods. "Anyways. Yeah. Uncle Kentar. Was blind. Had one arm. He was fun though. Loved children." he pauses. "But he could never eat a whole one."
Aikuen chuckles a little bit, "Sounds like a barrel of fun... Wha?" he blinks a little bit, as he is slow, "OH... heh..." he rolls his eyes and shoves Kentar, "I couldn't eat a whole one either..." he laughs, gets up and picks up Ella, and nuzzles her, "Nomnomnomnom..." he laughs and leans back again, with her on his chest.
Kentar laughs and chuckles, smirking at the otter. "You thought I was serious didn't you?" he smirks, poking Aik in the nose. "You really are dumb." he laughs. The stoat turns back towards the pond, looking at Chris, who's playing by himself, laughing up a storm still.
Aikuen wrinkles his nose at Kentar, after the poke, "Yah well... your short... so there..." he snorts. What a comeback... Aik grins as he slowly strokes his daughters back. Ella hmms and places her paw under her head, as she naps on
Kentar hrms. "Taller then Garnet. I reach up to Robin's eyes!" he laughs. "Yes, I'm a little short." he laughs before yawning and laying back, looking to the stars. Robin keeps on reading but after his dad yawns, so does he. And after a moment. So does Chris!
Aikuen chuckles with Kentar before blinking at this little display, "What the...?" he blinks and looks up at the stars as well. He blinks and shrugs, not getting it, "Its nice..." its at least something.
Kentar chuckles as the others yawn. "Heheh. Once a family, always a family!" The stoat smirks before yawning, sitting up and looking around. "We should probably get going inside now, Christopher!" he calls out. Chris awws and swims for shore.
Aikuen blinks and shakes his head, "Wow... you guys are silly..." probably planed it. He smiles as he pats Kentar, wherever he can pat him, "See yah Kentar... and family stoats... We will probably be here for the rest of the evening..." Fira slowly rolls over and hugs Aik around his middle. She smirks and sighs. Aik chuckles, "Bye-Ahe!"
The stoats wave and Chris runs over to give Aik a big hug! Of course, the stoat is soaked, so the otter gets a little wet. "Bye!" Chris smiles before running after Kentar and Robin.
Aikuen ergs as he does get a little wet. He still chuckles and hugs the little stoat back before waving, "See yah!" he laughs. He yawns again and goes to pick up Venei. He places both babes on his chest, as Fira resettles her arm around his middle. Aik grins, as he puts an arm around Fira, using the other on the babes "My girls... So tired..." he nuzzle Venei, "All sleepy... and beautiful..." Venei hmmms and buries her face in his chest. Aik smiles as holds his girls in his arms. A big fat grin on his face.
