Dry Paint and Plans for the Future

Characters: Aikuen, Kentar, Will

Location: Kentar's Cabin

Kentar's Cabin: Kitchen

Morning. Kentar didn't get much sleep last night, thoughts of the look on his brother's face running through his mind, unable to keep back from laughing quietly into his pillow. The stoat was only just waking up now after a bit of a short nap. He stands, gives his sleeping wife's cheek a kiss, pulls on his eyepatch, changes into his new black tunic and brown trousers before bounding down the stairs.

Aikuen is sitting at the table, eating what is left of hurricane Fira's reign of sandwich making. So basically, just what looks like a hunk, ripped from a much larger meal. He is the only one in the kitchen, as Fira had gone outside to sit on the porch, napping. Leaving Aik to his own devices. He hears the stoat bounding down the stairs and he waves lazily, "Mornin" and he continues to nibble on his lunch.

Will wanders out from his room, paint still dried onto his fur from last night. He yawns a little walks off to the kitchen to find something to eat. Sleeping on the floor hadn't been that bad once he'd swiped a pillow and blanket for himself though once morning had come and he'd left the room the door had been locked behind him. Aparently Amy didn't get enough sleep last night and isn't taking chances with this morning. Will doesn't really care that he was kicked out of his own room as he was already dressed by the time he was kicked out. He smiles at the otter and looks around so what all is left to eat or if he'll have to go get something at the market.

Kentar smiles and waves back to Aikuen before grabbing a mug and filling it with some nice cold strawberry cordial. The stoat then sits down and takes a drink but when Will comes in, he almost chokes, starting to laugh nice and loud. He nudges Aik in the arm and then nods to Will. "Morning...*cough* Will."

Aikuen had a handful of Fira moody-ness this morning. So he is not as chippy, as he normally is. So when the stoat sits next to him, all he does is nod, and go back to his little hunk of sandwich. Then he is nudged and he looks up. And he chokes with laughter at Will. Ah, he feels better now! He keeps his face very straight, and tries to breath calmly, "Morning... *Ahem*... Son..." he smiles warmly back at him. And then chuckles.

Will shrugs off Kentar's cackling as a continuation from last night so nothing seems amis to the rat. "Morning, Pa. and Kentar. It's over, you can stop laughing about it already. It couldn't have been that funny." He doesn't get it. Will pokes around for something to eat still oblivious to his paintedness.

Kentar snorts a few times. "That's not quite what we're laughing at." the stoat says. He waits a few moments then bursts into laughter, more then before. Much more. "Hahahaha! You should see the look on your face, haha!"

Aikuen just bursts, and laughs along, "HAHA! Thats right will!.... Why the long face?" he laughs and wipes a tear from his eye.

Will blinks, "What ... " Then it dawns on him and he rushes over to the water bucket and laughs before realizing just how much trouble it will be to wash the dried in paint off. He groans and starts grabs a rag to get started on it before changing his mind to finding something to eat first since it will likely take a long time for him to get all the paint out of his fur. "Is that all?" he asks the other two wondering if they did anything else to him.

Kentar starts laughing harder, tears falling from his eyes as he struggles to breathe with all the laughing. "Haha! Hahahahaha! Haaa! Hahahaaaa!" he laughs, unable to answer the rat.

Aikuen laughs a nudges Kentar, still being able to talk. But just barely "Do you think we should tell him what we did to his tail?" he lies, for giggles.

Of course Will has to check his tail to see what they did to it grabing it near the base with a paw and pulling it up and around so he can inspect it. He's pleased nothing wrong with it but frown since they tricked him again! He lays his ears back as he munches on some kiwi fruit he found, it may be green an fuzzy but it tastes ok so he'll eat it.

Aikuen just breaks down when the rat checks his tail. The otter might die of laughter. But he finally gets his wind back, sighs, and winks at Will, "Ah that was fun..." he snorts, "Sorry. But i cant take you seriously with that face!" he winks again

Will shrugs, "I'll wash it off /if I can/ after I eat."

Aikuen just shakes his head. It's ridiculous looking. He grins, and goes back to the rest of his fishy sandwich. And he is not sharing. He had to kill a beast to get this food. Well... more like beg from his wife. Same thing. He still has the stupid grin, "It'll wash off!...if not!" he chuckles

Kentar finally gets up off the floor after he's done laughing, wiping way his eyes before going back to his drink, chuckling idly every so often.

"I hope so," Will says having now found a few biscuits that were miraculously overlooked by his mother, he doesn't question it just thinks himself a lucky to have found them first as he bites into one. "Th rocks an paint were Kentar's idea by th way."

Aikuen nods, and finishes off the sandwich. He licks his claws and then looks over to Kentar, acting so surprised, "Did he now? I thought is was Amy, being silly!" that'll happen. He chuckles and nudges the stoat, "You're so silly..."

Kentar chuckles and flattens his ears back some. "Was not my idea! It was...ahahahaaahhhaahaha" he laughs again when he looks at the rat's painted face.

Will finishes the biscuits and once again makes a start to wash the paint off. "Speaking of which. She was woke up last night by a stoat who somehow got into our room and if he hadn't hit himself with th door he would have got hit with a stick." He pauses from scrubing his face to make a face at the stoat remembering that he had been made to sleep on the floor parly because of said stoat. "She's back in bed again since she didn't get much sleep after that." he explains as if they were wondering, "An th door's locked. She'll probably be up later."

Aikuen grins. Ah... This gets better and better. That will teach them for messing with the otters! He makes a serious face, "Geeze Kentar... What's with you and paining beasts faces!" he shakes his head.

Kentar laughs a little bit. "You told me to paint his face! You told me!" he says.

Will ignores the others for the moment since he's busy trying to get the dried paint out of his fur and it's taking a long time.

Aikuen says indignantly, "What? I said no such thing. I sent you go sit in a corner yesterday, until you learned your lesson. For drawing all over us." he shakes his head, and waggles a paw in front of the stoat, "And you go and paint Will. THEN... if you wanted to add more insult to injury... You're now blaming me!" he sighs, and chuckles, "Have you no shame?"

Kentar frowns and then then goes to grab that paw, then tries to twist it while making sure Aik can't stop him. Seem's he's learned a few new tricks. "Now..." he grins. "Tell the rat the truth..." he smirks.

Aikuen wont stop him. He doesn't need too. He blinks a few times and looks at the stoat, "Owie! I am speaking the truth!" he pops his wrist, and flicks the stoat with his rudder, "LET ME GO! SILLY!" He grins evilly.

Kentar laughs then ows as the he's flicked, the stoat falling over onto the floor, starting to pretend cry. "OW! OW! MOMMY! WAI!"

Aikuen snorts with laughter. Going over to help the poor stoat up on his hinders, "Oh... You big baby... Up on your paws silly beast!" Aik laughs and looks to Will, "Hey... I'm the one wh-... Hello?" Will has gone off somewhere. The otter blinks and shrugs, "TeeHee!" and winks at the stoat.

Kentar laughs and then gets to his feet, looking around. "Guess we scared him off." He laughs and then grins, going to shove the otter to the floor.

Aikuen nods a look off where he think Will might have gone. Big mistake! He ufs, as he is shoved. He does lose his balance, but only for a second. Might as well go with it. He makes a really big show, of falling to the ground, "OHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! WHY KENTAR!!! WHY!!!!!!" and he lands on his rump, and falls the rest to the ground. He puts a paw to his brow.

Kentar laughs and grins at Aik, sighing happily. "Because I can! Muhahaha!" he laughs before sitting back down and finishing off his drink.

Aikuen chuckles in his fallen form. He grins at the stoat, and gets up on his footpaws. He walks over to the stoat, and pats him on the shoulder, "Your such a silly!" he takes a few biscuits, and a few fruits, "Hey Kenty... What name should we call our little one... When its born... Me and my lovely wife, are kinda stuck on it..." he makes the motion to leave, but just hangs around the doorway.

Kentar hmms a little and follows but then stops, shrugging. "Well. If a boy...maybe Aik Jr. or something. Or Kentar. That's a lovely name." He winks then shrugs. "I like Fira for a girl though...honestly."

Aikuen chuckles and rolls his eyes, "Yah... It sure is a lovely name..." he does nod at the last part though, "Its a great name for a girl. Its a beautiful name. For a beautiful otter. But I'm trying to stay away from names that have already been used. Especially the parents of them anyway." he hmms.

Kentar tilts his head to one side. "Why is that, Aik?" he asks. "I mean, if Garnet and I ever have a girl or something, we're going to put Garnet's name in there somewhere." he says. "Or, that's what we decided last time anyways" he nods.

Aikuen shrugs, "That's all fine and good for you guys. Buts its us, and we're otters. Its because, i don't want to have a really long name for our kits. Just two. First, then a last. And we already have the last covered. Its just the first part we need help with anyway" he nods firmly, "Plus, its better to add flavor to their names... Need difference...Trying to think of a good one!" he grins.

Kentar ahs then hrms a little. "Not able to help you there, sorry. We picked out our names so we wouldn't have to do it later. I'm not creative enough really." He smiles a little bit.

Aikuen pats him on the shoulder, "Yes... its true..." he chuckles and makes for the door, to the outside, "I'm thinking of the name, Nelia for a girl... I hope its a girl..." he sighs. He doest want a son, as he knows what the kit will be like. He shakes his head, "And... I haven't suggested it yet but... Kenton, for a boy. After you!" he laughs and exits to the porch, where Fira is napping with a book in her lap.

Kentar smiles and chuckles a little bit, following him. "Good names, Aik." he smiles. "Thanks." he says about the Kenton one.

Aikuen goes to sit next to his wife, on the ground, placing the biscuits and fruit carefully in her lap. So she has a snack when she wakes. He smiles at Kentar, "Thanks. They're not final. We want to see if there names, fit what they look like!" he chuckles.

Kentar chuckles a bit and nods. "Right." he smiles softly before sitting next to Aik and looking out over the nice lawn. "If Garnet and I have another, I've sort of been wanting to suggest a few names but I'm not too sure she'd want another. With Chris, Robin, and Kluna." he says a little bit. He'd like one more. He's always wanted family. Sure, Robin and Kluna are family...they're just not...family...

Aikuen looks to him, and eyes him for a second. Getting some feeling about him. Though he doesn't get it yet. He nods slowly, "She might... never know till you ask... or wait, till it happens randomly..." he chuckles, and looks to Fira, to grab her paw and gives it a little rub, "But you do have a pretty big family already." He is one of the otters that believe that family is great, just... more intimate families.

Kentar chuckles a little bit. "I know. But...Robin and Kluna...as much as they are family...they're just not family...if you know what I mean...I love them. A lot. More then you could imagine but...you know what I mean..." he thinks. "Well. Anyways."

Aikuen eyes him again. Yep, that feeling is confirmed. He shakes his head slowly, and sighs, "I know what you mean..." he just doesn't get why much. He has the feeling that Will is, as his own. But that's probably just him. He leans his head against the cabin, and closes his eyes, letting Fira's beautiful paw rest in his own, "Just a month... And there will be another little otter..." he sighs happily, and starts to doze, on that feeling.

Kentar nods slowly and then looks to the sky. "You know, Aik. I'm glad your my best friend. I..." he pauses and looks to the dozing otter, chuckling quietly. He stands up and quietly goes back inside.
