did he see his shadow?

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[Here is a sight that has been uncommon lately; Ri is wandering down the hallway without any laundry or a child with him. Anyone who's caught a glimpse of him lately probably saw him with baby Kira in a chest carrier, but she's with her Mama and siblings at the moment. And without the constant presence of one of his children, Ri's Darkness is spiking up again.

The one good thing is that his face is buried in a home improvement magazine as he wanders through the halls.]

*would your ghost of a son be welcome here? Mama sent him*

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*you are very welcome~ he catches your scent and looks up from his magazine with a smile, which turns into a bit of a confused look*

... been spending time with your Uncle Axel, Rikka? You smell like smoke.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*that surprises him a little, and he shakes his head -- he smells thoroughly of apple and mint, as well as mango now*

... no.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*sniffsniff*

Hmmm. Grilling fruit?

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*it definitely has a tobacco smoke smell under the sweetness*

Mama wanted me to tell you dinner's in an hour and a half.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he can tell :/ your Daddy knows more than you think*

I won't miss it. You won't either, right?

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*D:*

... I'll be there.

*he may only eat a few twirls of spaghetti though*

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he's saving the info for the right time*

How are you doing in your training?

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Fine.

*he hasn't been doing much training this week -- he's mostly been shut up in his little art studio*

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he knows that too*

How about you go a couple rounds with your old Dad? I'm sure I can still swing a blade.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*well you certainly can't challenge a Hikari-Mori boy and expect him to turn it down; he raises an eyebrow and forms a portal in the middle of the hall*

After you.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

Alright.

*he rolls up his magazine and sticks it in his back pocket as he steps through; he was hoping you'd take the bait challenge*

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*bait, what? is this a moment of fatherly pride for you, because your son steps inside the training room, and with a flick of his wrist, his clothes disappear and transform into a bodysuit similar to yours without the gay little skirt -- Darkness rolls off of him*

[Hi, Ri, have a toddler. Akane stumbles along chasing a rather irritated Tybalt and really not paying attention to anything else until she runs into Ri's legs. Or nearly runs into them, your call.

Larxene was strolling along behind, but she picks up the pace when she spots Ri, and quickly snatches her daughter up.]

Watch where you're going, Akane!

[... Tybalt would be laughing at them if he could. :| That's what you get for pulling on his fur, silly human child.]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*well Ri is surprised by the knee-high road black, and quickly stoops to pick up Tybalt and pet him a bit*

Looks like Akane's learning that it's hard to catch a cat when it doesn't want to be caught.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*it's not gay :/ but your Daddy will just be standing across from you, one hand in his pocket*

What terms do you wanna set? I doubt Mama will be glad if we should up all beat up.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*it's a little gay, Dad*

... best two out of three? First one down three times loses. Blades only, no contact damage, magic OK.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Larxene backs off just a bit. She's more paranoid since getting her heart, particularly about Ri; convinced that if Kai didn't tell on her, that vampire Axel probably did.]

Uh-huh.

[Tybalt squirms to get away, not pleased with being held by a stranger.]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*y so scared? you've got Akane with you*

Well, Miss Akane. Maybe you should be gentle with your kitty so he wants to be around you.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*it is so not*

Sounds good. But no major magic. I don't feel like listening to Mama go on about me abusing Dark Firagas to renovate again.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

I'll make sure and tell him that.

*and his fingers twitch, a blade appearing in both hands -- one is obviously a magic-strong blade, and is infused with Light -- a gift from Mama back home that casts Protect, Shell, Veil and Vigilance at the first sign of danger (overprotective Mama is overprotective); the other is colossally strong in Dark technique*

This okay?

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

You've been taught to dual-wield. Good. Now come at me.

*he still hasn't switched to Dark Mode, and he's still got a hand in his pocket, just watching you*

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*he twirls his blades around in his hands, and with only a split second's notice, he's running at you -- it's fairly obvious he's going to rely on Fire magic first, with the way the blades are slowly glowing red*

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[because she's irrational and Ri is a creeper.

"Tibbles wan'." Akane stretches her little arms out.]

I've been telling her that.
