Messing around with Dad
Characters: Aikuen, Fira
Location: Moledeep; Garden Burrow
It might not have snowed in a couple of days but it's still thick outside and very cold. It's the season for sitting inside in the warm and the otters are. There are small otters and big otters, it's a whole room of otters. Fira's currently curled up in a chair by the fire, watching the twins messing about and sewing a hole in her cloak closed. Darn pointy branches.
Aikuen snores lightly in the one of the most poofyiest armchairs in the whole burrow, right next to where Fira is sitting. His daily nap after being outside for most of the day. Still doesn't like the cold. But still has to be outside. His mouth hangs loosely as he slowly breaths in and out. The two little otter terrors are sitting on the rug. They each were given their own pillow to nap on. But who wants to nap now! Ella says, "Lets do it..." Venei nods, "Uhh... okay..." they both slowly get up and go over to the side of the room. They each pick up a rock, then go over to Aik's foot, and places it on top. They both giggle quietly and do it over and over. Aik is vert unaware.
Fira is well aware of what they're doing, she's watching but she's just not stopping them. Well if Aik will be foolish enough to nap when there's small children in the room. She smirks, watching them ferry the rocks before carefully she gets up, going to snatch a little bit of charcoal that's been knocked out of the fire for a while. Anything she does can be blamed on the kids, great influence she is.
Aikuen grunts lightly in his sleep. Lolling is head to another side. He is in for a rude awakening. The little otters still transfer the rocks until they see mum move. They stop and watch her, hiding the rocks behind their backs. Venei pipes up first, "Mommies... What are you doings?" She tries to whisper. Though its still very loud. Haven't quite got the hang of it yet.
Fira has glanced to the pups on her way back and she holds a finger to her lips to tell Venei to be very quiet. They'll see in a moment anyway as she sneaks over to Aik and starts by giving him some extra thick eyebrows and a twirly mustache with the charcoal, drawing on his fur.
Venei ohs, and holds her own claw to her mouth. Getting what's happening. They both both giggle quietly before going to place the remaining rocks. Then crawling up on the armrest to see what mum is doing. They both place there paws over their mouths to keep from bursting out laughing. Aik twitches his muzzle as the charcoal touches him. And he lightly bats away whatever it might be. Before going back to sleep. He is tired after all.
Fira bites her lip so she won't laugh at the bat and wake him up. She breaks the bit of charcoal up, going to get a bit to each of the twins as she whispers "Be very careful" time to doodle on dad. Need to encourage their creativity after all.
Both little otter grab hold of the charcoal, and giggle quietly, "Yesers...Carfuls... Quiet!" they both shush each other before they have at it. Ella draws what looks like a otter on top of his paw. Venei reaches out and starts to draw circle pattern on his chest. Aik actually smiles at this and mumbles 'Fira...' before being lost again. Still with that stupid grin. And at the paw drawing he clenches his paw a few times. But he is still out of it.
Fira doesn't catch the mumble as she's drawing a checkered pattern on what little of his tail she can reach and keeping a close eye on the twins at the same time as she whispers encouragement "That's it, very nice otter Ella"
Ella smiles, "Tanky!" And she goes to draw another beast farther up his arm. Venei stops drawing circle pattern and looks up at Aik's chin. Pondering what could go there. Aik twitches lightly at everything, and when his rudder is touched. He flicks it heavily, "Gerr off..." he grunts. He has awoken. But doesn't want to be.
Fira is quick to act as Aik starts to wake, going to scoop up the twins and aim a quick kiss at his nose so he'll wake up happy "Go back to sleep dear, I've got them" with a bit of luck he'll be so dozy he doesn't notice the drawings this time.
Aikuen slowly blinks up at them, with a smile, "Oh hello darling... And rudderkins..." he grins going to rub the sleep from his eyes. Smearing the charcoal color all over his face. Looks like his is wearing a mask now. He smiles up at them, "Grabbing my rudder again were they? heh..." he reaches out and scratches one, before leaning his head back and closing his eyes, "Right... sleep..." If he just looked for a little while longer. He would have noticed the marks on his paw. And all over Ella, when he scratched her. Both woah at being picked up, and drop the sticks in excitement. They both are very quiet, and even Ella just mmms at the scratch. She then blinks as she is coated it in now, "Im all colerfuls..."
Fira just smiles innocently until Aik falls back to sleep and a grin appears. She looks back down to the twins "And now, when he wakes up, he won't know it was us" aside from the fact that who else would draw on him? She laughs very quietly at Ella "Oh, not colourful enough I think" Fira's still got her bit of charcoal, it's the kids turn.
"Your so mean mommies... Daddies will finds out. He always does!" Venei chuckles starting to draw on mum with her blackened paw. Ella looks back up, "Uh oh! No mum! I is colorfuls enough! Eck!" she tries to squirm away. Venei giggles, not knowing what may be in store for her.
Fira continues to laugh, not seeing to mind being drawn on too "You sure?" she asks Ella "I think I still see some brown patches, here" the bit of charcoal she gives to Ella before going to draw on Venei with her finger "Don't think I've forgotten you either"
Venei giggle and then squirms, "Ack! I is not Ellers!" she laughs as she is ticklish, squirming in her arm. Ella ergs, has she takes the charcoal. She blinks before going to draw on her arm. Have to get rid of all the fur color! Once she is done with that. She decides to help Venei with her drawing on the mum. They are double teaming her. Aik cant sleep with all the noise so he wakes up, "Heh. What's so funny you three-... Hehe! Your all covered in charcoal!" he still doesn't notice, that he is the blackest of them all.
Fira laughs at Venei, tickling a little too as she colours. She stops though when she catches sight of Aik moving again though and glances back to him. Back to the innocent smile as she aims a charcoaly poke at his nose "So are you"
Aikuen blinks at the poke, "Heh. I guess i am now..." he gets up slowly and stretches his limbs before going over to give her a kiss and a nuzzle, "Hey..." When he pulls away he tilts her head at her. Blinking a few times, at her face. that's now got blotches of black "Ummm...." he reaches up and drags his claw across his muzzle, and then he looks at his paw. He goes wide eyed and looks around all over himself, "Argh! Im a walking canvas! What did you three do?" he ergs loudly. Ella stops drawing on mum, "I tink he knows..." Venei is still squirming away. She is too ticklish to care!
Fira points at the kids "It was them! Not my idea at all, I just did most of the work" she's grinning, not expecting much trouble "They drew some lovely things, just look at your paw"
Aikuen stops dancing around and looks back at them, eyeing them, "Just did most of the work eh?..." he shakes his head, "Great influence you are..." he grins and then looks at his paw, "Hey. That's looks like... an otter? Aye. An otter." he smiles, "Which one of you did that?" He then looks down at the circles, "And who did that..." then once to his rudder, "Checker pattern? Really? Who did that?"
Fira grins "Hey, someone's got to keep them as happy little otters, I just happen to be just as childish as them" sometimes anyway. For the otter drawing she points at Ella but the checkered pattern results in an exaggerated innocent look as she points at both of them. It's obvious from her expression that it was her.
Aikuen chuckles and shakes his head, "You kids you... Yes. All three of you!" he smirks, and rubs Ella's chin, "Good job little one..." he then tilts his head at Fira, "Oh really? They did it? Uh huh... Right..." he smiles and leans in picking up Venei, "Im having a hard time believing that. Now... I can understand the little ones telling me fibbys... But you? Oh my darling! You know what i have to do with you?" he then places his nose on hers. Venei closes her eyes with her paws.
Fira switches back to her grin again, particularly as the noses meet "I think you're punishing the kids more than me dear" which she is fine with! She gives him a kiss, cue the ewwws from the twins.
There is very loud and dragged out 'Ewww' from Venei, and she tries to push them apart with her paw and footpads. Ella on the other hand Awws, and then helps to push them apart. She likes playing both sides. Aik stays in there for a bit before releasing, nosing, then kissing her nose, "Ah well. That's what they get for using me as paper." he grins and nuzzle her. He then chuckles, "Okay... my little ones... Cant make us!" They still try to move them apart though.
Fira smirks during the kiss all because of Venei and her paw strays down to aim a distracting tickle at Venei's belly. She's fighting back! Her other arm she rests round Aik, keeping close "We'll just have to get them some proper paper to draw on"
Aikuen chuckles, "Of course... There is some in our room." Not the only place, but its the one that comes to mind first. He wraps his arm around her back, then there is another kiss, "And we need to punish them some more!" he grins. Venei ewws. She stops trying to move them apart. They are much bigger than both of them. And they are arm locked. Just great. So she rests in Aiks arm, making stupid faces, and sticking her tongue out. Ella rests in Fira's arm giggling at Venei's attempt.
Fira kisses him back happily before grinning and looking back to the kids "Oh definitely, they'll need punishing for the rocks round your feet yet too" she moves to get up and take Ella with her "Ahh, come on, we're on a quest to find paper!"
Aikuen laughs happily until she says that. He blinks and looks down. Most of the rocks were lost when he was waking the first time. But one or two got lodged between his toes, "Hey... What the?" he grunts. He cant get them out without letting go of one of his darlings. Cant choose. So he shrugs, "Oh yes. More punishing for that was well!" he grins and nuzzles her one more time before nodding, "A quest? For the elusive paper? Sounds like a job for the Tazans!" he smirks, "Darling. Would you please lead the way! Oh quest finder!" and a secret kiss! MAhahah.
Fira laughs and brushes a few stones off with her tail, the rest he'll just have to get in a bit "To the paper!" she yells as she marches off out the door, one paw pointed out dramatically ahead of her.
Aikuen waits until she isn't looking before bursting out laughing at her and her pose. He holds his side before wiping a tear away, "You mother is queen of the sillies. you do know that right?" Venei tilts her head. Aik pokes her on the nose, "Dont deny it. Reason why i love her so much..." Venei is still tilting her head and shrugs, "You both is sillies..." Aik grins and kisses the top of her head before heading off after his wife.
