Nor was I. XD

Good night! o: Sleep well~ <3

Good morning! o:

Good morning~! :D

Did you sleep well? :3

I did indeed. :D I also finished Lamb. I was sad for Biff. D; But happy. But sad.

The end definitely made me sad/happy. D:
I was like, "BIFF NOOOOO"
And when they were torturing Josh and he was on the cross and when the guard stabbed him and all that I was like, "NOOOOOO" even though I knew he was gonna come back and all. o_o;

It was very much a sad/happy ending. D:

I love that book to death. :< Especially the apostles. Nathaniel was great. :'D

Nathaniel was awesome. XD I liked John the best, though.

I don't even think I could pick a favorite. X3

You know what JUST hit me on the trip? Ink, Dai, and Kai have COUSINS. o: That they're probably close to, since Hiroshi and Iru are probably around a lot (likely with their kids in tow) and Kallie becomes super close to Nami after Raie's death, and Lissey is often with her. :3 Fun fun!

Holy cow, they do! :drool: That is awesome. :'D The fact that they'd have cousins didn't click until you said it. :3 And I feel so bad for Kallie. D: *cuddles*

Question, because I was wondering last night. |D What do you think Iru and Hiroshi's relationship with Dai, Ink and Kai is? o:

They got Lissey, and Iru's adopted Lenore, and Hiroshi and Teal's kids, Xidophus and Edelia. :3 *cuddles her also* D:

They love them dearly. No questions asked. I picture them constantly being there as the three are growing up, so I imagine the two are almost more like extra parents to them, as opposed to uncles. :>

There's going to be A LOT of fighting amongst Slaine, Iru, and Hiroshi as to who's turn it is to babysit. XD

Awww~ :D That's just sweet. :3 Proves that Hiroshi isn't always a jerk. ;D *hugs Hiroshi*

Heh, it'd be amusing to watch. XD

He's not, is he? And Ink, Kai, and Dai are the reasons he finally forces himself to get it together and stay with Teal. ;D And also they're the reasons Iru decides it's maybe time to move on a little. He never does get over Tati, but he adopts Lenore and all that. c: Special kids!

It would be. XD I can also see things like this happening with alarming frequency:
"How are you today, Kai? Shall we play with the blocks today, or draw pictures, or something else?"
"Oh, Iru, give the little darling here, I want to hold him..."
"Back off, Slaine! I brought him presents, I get him next!"
"GUYS! You CANNOT lock me and my husband out of out temple to hog our newborn from us! D< *pounds on door*"

Of course, Dai and Ink will get the same treatment, it's just that Iru, Slaine and Hiroshi won't have to fight over them because they can all have one. And D'iala and Nami will still be getting locked out. XP

Woo~ o: Nami and D'iala have special kids. ;D I'm glad that Iru will decide to move on a bit, though. o_o It's just not healthy to dwell on things that much. *pats Iru*

Ahahaha. XD Oh that is awesome. Especially what Hiroshi said. :'D And now we see where Kai would develop enjoying attention as much as he does. ;3

It's not. But it's how he is. o_o He doesn't like getting close to people 'cause he's lost the majority of people he was close to, but not opening himself up to others kind of keeps him in limbo as far as moving on goes.

Ahaha, too true. ;3

I can also see Iru maybe moving into the temple while Nami is pregnant, so he can kind of act as a live-in/emergency healer and help with house... temple work and stuff? c:

Indeed. o_o Gotta feel sorry for the guy. D;

I can actually see that too. :'D Iru's nice, I like him. :3

He is. :'D Definitely a favorite of mine.

I can already see how he ends up moving in. XD

"Iru. I know you're worried about me."
"You're pregnant, and you're my little sister. It's only natural that I'd worry."
"And I know you want to help out with stuff."
"Well, you shouldn't be doing too much, and D'iala can't possibly keep up with both this place's upkeep, people who need him to heal them, and a pregnant wife all at once. Of course I do."
"I noticed that you make breakfast every morning."
"Well, it's one less thing for you two to do."
"And that you're here like all the time."
"Like you said, I worry. Besides, the more I'm here, the more useful I can be."
"And D'iala found an unmade bed while he was cleaning the guest rooms."
"Um-"
"And your clothes were in the drawer."
"Well I-"
"Iru. Did you secretly move in?"
"...Maybe a little."

How do you think that conversation would go if D'iala brought it up instead of Nami? :'D

xD Oh that is awesome. Maybe a little is the best reply to someone asking if you secretly moved in, ever. :'D

I'm not really sure. :'D He might not even say anything or bring it up, just because. XD But he'd definitely be grateful for the help. :3

Nami probably couldn't even tell him off because I bet she'd do something similar. XP If she asked D'iala if she could move in and he said yes, she'd probably say, "Oh good. I've been surreptitiously moving all my stuff in here, it'd be a pain to move it back out."
What would he do THEN? :'D

Give a little laugh and ask if she had anything she wanted help moving. XD

I just love him so much. XD He's so sweet.

Also, these sound good for the rough age differences of the cousins in regard to Ink, Dai, and Kai? o: I can change 'em if needed.

Lissey - 25
Lenore - 18
Kai - 17
Dai and Ink - 16
Edelia - 14
Xidophus - 12

Me too. :'D I'm so glad that I redid D'iala and made him an actually character. x3 *pats D'iala* I just love him so much.

Those sound good too me! o:

I'm glad too. c: I love him to death.

D'iala is well loved, despite everything he has to put up with and goes through. :'D
