Kyle shrugged, one shoulder rising and dropping again as he sighed. "Most of us here have history of some sort with the Hunters. I think my family has the most experience though since it took us years to be found by the Circus." He spoke with a tinge of bitterness, lowering his head so that his bangs covered brown eyes. Shaking his head slightly, he turned a grin, tight around the edges if you knew what to look for, to Melony as he held his arm out for her. He escorted the other woman to their tent first, grabbing a few towels and a change of clothes for himself and Nakita, who was dancing around barefoot with her muddy flats in her hands. Draping one towel around Melony he walked her back to the practice tent. Nakita placed her flats near the entryway as she shifted into her tiger form, loping to the other siblings and Zalia.

Akasha watched the large feline almost jog to them, dripping water as she went, with a shrewd look. "Do not even think about it Kita." She snapped, grumbling as the wet fur slid against her knees as the tiger rubbed against the trio, causing the growling wolf to sneeze suddenly. Kita stepped away and primly sat in place, attempting to look the picture of innocence.

Day walked back to the tree he had left Ahanna in. He looked up trying to see her up there then finally sniffed. She was still there. How can she sit still for so long? He neighed and pawed at the ground tryiing to get her attention. Finally she dropped down and pulled out an apple laughting. I want that apple but it will have to wait. He reached out like he was going to take the apple but instead grabbed ahold of her sleeve. He backed up dragging her a few paces. When she finally started following he let go.

He walked to Rythen's tent, with Ahanna following, and stuck his head into the opening. Rythen isn't here. Is he with that new female? He turned to Mellie's tent and within moments poked his head in there. When he saw Rythen he brought his head back out and butted Ahanna into the tent.

He quickly ran to the animal tent passing through the magics Cire had placed. He grabbed a riding blanket and ran back out to Mellie's tent. The tents were just big enough for him to get inside. I didn't want to do this with others around but I'll have to tell them all anyways. I hope she doesn't mind a horse in her tent. He quickly went into her tent and before anyone could say anything he shifted back to his two legged form, this time without the wings. He quickly wrapped the blanket around himself then waited.

Ahanna was suprised when Day didn't take the apple. He seemed to want to show her something so she followed behind him. When they stopped at Rythen's tent she knew it couldn't be good. When she was finally pushed into Mellie's tent her eyes widened in shock. Well at least everyone has clothes on. "Sorry I'm not sure what is wrong with him." When he came back and shifted all she could do was stare with her mouth wide open.

Rythen smiled when Mellie came back out in a dress. "That really is a beautiful dress." Before he could say anymore a giant white horse head was pushed through the tent entrance. "What's..." but before he coudl finish the head was gone and Ahanna came stumbling through. After she spoke he went to step outside to find out what was wrong. Are we under attack? I don't hear anything. But Day was back, this time with a riding blanket, and once again pushing his way insided. Then suddenly there was a very naked man, covering himself with a blanket, standing in front of him. Rythen moved into a fighting postion and studyed the man. He had long white hair. That can't be Day can it? He waited for the man to speak.

Ahanna almost laughed at Mellie's reaction. Instead she ran out of the tent to her own. She grabbed a pair of Rythen's pants she was patching and ran back. She handed the pants to the man and watche as he quickly changed. He is cute.

Rythen untensed his body when he saw the man wasn't going to attack. He chuckled at the thing that bothered Mellie. Really a strange man shows up and she only worries about his attire?

Day winched back when Mellie screamed at him. He watched as Ahanna ran off hoping she wasn't going for help or a knife. When she came back with pants he smiled at her and carefully put them on. "I'm sorry Mellie. When the magic was placed in my kind clothes were not an important thing. The animal tent is being cleaned by Cire and I didn't want to shift outside. And Rythen was in here." He turned so he could see them all. "I have already told the huntress Melony but I wanted you two to be the next I told." He looked at Ahanna and then Rythen then finally looked at Mellie and smiled. "Rythen cares about you so it is good your here too." He paused the continued. "I am Day."

Ahanna walked over to the man and helped him back up. "I do agree with the last thing she said. So your Day? I didn't think I was imagining him being in here. So how long have you been able to switch? Before we met? Because if that is true you have a lot of explaining. I seem to remember taking a bath in a creek with you there."

Rythen smiled at Mellie. She really is too great. He looked at the man who claimed to be Day. "Yes, I think you need to talk some more."

Day was suprised at the power the small green haired woman had. He started to thank Ahanna but blushed at her comment. "I didn't see anything I swear. I wasn't watching you. I've always been able to change. I haven't changed in a long time. I hadn't planned on changing but Melony changed my mind. I just wanted you guys to know next. I will tell the rest now." He turned to leave then stopped. "I really am sorry Mellie. I didn't mean to upset you. It is really hard to find clothes to fit my other form." He turned and walked out of the tent.

Lucifer grinned and kissed her back, then took her hand and lead her over to the waterfall. He went under the waterfall and immediately got pushed under, then popped up behind Scarlett. "It's like a mini-ride!" he laughed and went over to it, flattening his palm so the water bounced off it and splashed Scarlett with it. When he was done, he laughed harder and went under the waterfall again. Getting pushed back under, he laughed while the fish swam around him, curious at what he was doing. He came back up and smiled. "Try it!"

~

Snickering at Ahanna's comment, and how Day turned red. Before he could walk out, she grabbed his arm and pushed him back onto her bed, looking at Rythen. When she looked back to Day, she sighed. "Why did that ... Girl ... Change your mind? Why not Ahanna, or Rythen?" she demanded, more than asked. She again leaned against Rythen and sighed once more, still half-asleep. "And why would you watch a woman bathe?! Pervert!"

(I admit I wanted to wait for my reply when crimson came back but she must run on a diff time zone than me >.< Silly east coast >.>))

Akasha glanced up at the other girl, grinning at her question. "I figure we should go over what you know of gymnastics first. Its beneficial for many of the elements of our act, plus it helps for your land fighting." She commented as she slowly stepped onto the ground away from Zalia, even if she didn't want to. She stared at Naki until the tiger finaly couldn't contain itself, standing on all four legs and shaking her body to dispell the water, soaking the others in the process. "FOR THE-!" Akasha shouted as she got the full spray, the wolf also barking loudly as he was drenched, while Kyle just laughed out loud. Tiger slowly took human form, grabbing her green towel and a change of clothes that Kyle had so thoughtfully brought all of them, disappearing behind the wooden boards holding up the trampolines with a laugh. Caleb shifted back, a scowl darkening his face, but his eyes were laughing, knowing he himself would have done the same. He too grabbed spare clothes and followed after the slightly smaller sibling, they were siblings, they'd seen each other naked before, so to them it didn't matter.

Kita came back, green towel around her shoulders over the form hugging, built in bra crimson top as she rubbed her hair with the now damp towel. Her bottoms were now a pair of tight short-shorts in black with a white pair of leggings reaching just below her knees and another, dry, pair of flats. Caleb came out just as Aki and Kyle brushed by to change, Cal in a pair of grey trunks and a green tank. "So what do you know already?" Caleb asked, his voice taking a deep rumble, the vocals usually taking the longest to fully finish changing, as Naki pulled her hair back into a high ponytail then scrunched her nose in contemplation about whether she should do up Melony's hair or not. Aki stepped out, a long-sleeved white top with silvery stitching of a bird in flight over the chest with a pair of tight, red mini-shorts and black leggings that went under the knee, hair still left in its intricate braid with black ribbon, lightly glaring at her sister. Kyle flounced out from behind the trampoline in a pair of plain blue jeans and a white button up that he left unbuttoned but tucked into the jeans, conviently flashing his otter mark on his collarbone.

Day gasped as he was grabbed and pushed onto a bed. He instictivly started to fling himself into the air but stopped when he realized he no longer had wings. He looked up at Mellie. "Because she is alone like me. Rythen has you and Ahanna has Rythen. Rythen and Ahanna are my family now but they don't need me." He blushed again and huffed looking like a little kid. "I didn't watch her bathe! We were running from hunters. Rythen went into town for supplies. I didn't want to leave Ahanna and Ash alone. I was simply near the creek. If there was an attack Ash could have run but it would have left Ahanna alone and naked. I didn't know if Ash would have helped Ahanna at that time."

Akasha gave a mock suffering sigh as she heard what the girl knew, it would take a lot of work. The other siblings chuckled at the sigh, though easily catching her look at Kyle's mark. "We all have one, just in different spots." Nakita responded as she lifted the top of her shirt, a tiger head peeking out from the left hip. Akasha shrugged with a rueful grin as she spun around and flashed her back, the lower half taken over by the image of a hawk in flight in profile. Caleb turned his right leg to show the wolf imprint on the inside. Caleb then clapped his hands together, rubbing them as he brought them closer to his chest. "Alrighty, we should probably do a few rolls, front and backwards. Kyle and Kita can help you practice front flips. Very easy." He said softly as he and Aki moved to the trampoline, climbing on the contraption as they practiced a few single throws, twirls, and flips.

Kita and Kyle grinned at Melony, Kita's resembling the cheshire cat's. "I'd like to see you do a line of rolls simultaneously as I flip beside ya." She spoke brightly as she walked toward one wall, leaving a large space between her and the wall for Melony to roll.

Pursing her lips Azra stared at Casimir intently. She was trying to figure him out and just couldn't. "When you me 'belong' to Cire do you mean as in like a pet? Like how Ahanna and Rythen have their pegasus and unicorn? You want her to have something like that?" Now she was really curious. Why did he care anyways? Was he beginning to like Cire and all of them? A million thoughts ran through her head as she continued to watch him.

Zalia watched everything with a smile. It was so nice seeing the siblings interact with Melony, especially Nakita. Sitting back in her chair she watched them all. It was times like this she loved. Out of the corner of her eye Zalia saw a figure walk through the door of the tent and she looked over there. Gasping she sprung up from her chair and shouted, "Jatan!" Running at full speed she launched through the air.

He had just walked through the door of the tent when he heard his sister shout his name. Grinning he opened his arms and caught her when she launched herself at him. Spinning her around he squeezed her tightly then set her down. "Oh I've missed you little sis." He said with a laugh. It had been years since he had last seen her but it had felt like centuries to him. Zalia was the one thing in the world he loved most.

Mellie huffed back at him, knowing that she and Day were going to get along perfectly fine, seeing as they were both childish. "Pervy horse, pervy horse!" she teased, knowing he wasn't a pervert and definitely wasn't a horse. Mellie always loved teasing others, mainly instigating. She poked his forehead once more and stepped back, accidentally bumping Rythen, which got her thinking. "Who said I wasn't alone? Sure, I have Rythen, but ... That doesn't mean I am no longer alone ... I don't have my mother, my father, or even my brother ... Don't judge a book by it's cover ... Just because someone looks happy, doesn't mean they ARE happy ..." Her voice was low, at a whisper, by the end of her small speech. She hoped this didn't offend Rythen, but it was the mere truth, because she currently was alone, and all she wanted was to see her big brother alive and well.

Lucifer laughed when the water hit him, and went underwater, grabbing Scarlett's feet and pulling her under. When she was, he immediately swam away, a flock of fish trailing after him, wondering what he was up to. "Nosy fish," he mouthed to one of them, who just danced around, like she was cheering because she and her pals were being a pain in the arse. He laughed again at the fish, hoping Scarlett saw it. It wasn't normal for fish to dance, or even understand was a person mouthed.

A little uncertainly at first Melony began doing the rolls after smiling at all their tattoos. IT was hard going at first, she kept tumbling to the wrong side, distracted by Naki's flips. Eventually though she got the hang of concentrated on her own movements while paying attention to the other woman with the corner of her eyes. It was much like fencing, and all Melony needed to do in order to do well, was slip into that particular mindset. Finished she jumped up with a grin, only to start all over again.

Casimir nodded a little uncertainly. "Yes, a pet. Immortal because... Because she is too and she seems to get very lonely even if she won't admit it. This way she'd have someone where ever she went, for no matter how long. Look I just need your help!" The last sentence was loud and brusque, with hint of frustration. He wanted to make Cire smile, and happy. It was a strange emotion for him, but instead of rejecting it the young man embraced it. He hunted her heart, and he pursued with determination.

Kyle and Kita both smiled as it took a little bit for Melony to get it, Kita taking it slow as she would tilt back, plant her hands and lift herself backwards spinning her body so that she landed facing forward. She repeated the process alongside Melony, twisting and changing how she flipped. "Great job!" Nakita complimented, clapping her hands happily. Kyle just shook his head at his sister, a grin plastered on his. "Alright, next we'll try doing some flips. Watch Kita carefully and I'll help you do the first few." He gently commanded, stepping closer as Kita walked around him to be in front. Slowly repeating the process, she kept to front flips, spacing her hands shoulder width apart, lifting each leg into the air one at a time, smiling brightly as she now faced them, lifting one hand to wave at them. "Don't go showing off now Kita, you'll make her nervous." Kyle admonished lightly, as the upside down girl pouted and leaned back, her feet coming down quickly to catch her fall and help push her back up into a standing position. Both heard Zalia call out to someone, but let Aki and Caleb worry about it, they had a job to do.

Caleb looked over to where Zalia took off, the punishment of which had him sprawled on the bouncy black tarp with a growling Akasha on top of him. "Damnit Caleb." She groused as she disentangled herself from the taller form. Green eyes glanced where Zalia was hugged and spun around by another, unkown, male. She just smirked and shook her head as he quietly growled, both at her and the unkown male. "Alright Caleb, you can stop frothing at the bit. 'Mother' is in no danger." She spoke rather loudly, hoping Zalia would hear, especially the stressing of the word mother. She seemed to gracefully fly to the upper levels of the trampoline, intent on practicing even if it was on her own, leaving Caleb on the bottom to watch Zalia.

Day hoped Mellie was just poking a little fun but he couldn't really tell. "Hey, I'm not a horse. I have beautiful wings." He huffed again and crosed his arms. Horse! I am the most wonderful thing to grace the sky. Not a horse.

He uncrossed his arms and looked at Mellie sadly. "That is true but you can walk freely through here. You can talk to anyone and not wonder if they are looking at you and thinking 'killer'. Even the other hunters have someone. We are all alone in our own way or else we would not be here. But last night when everyone else was given a tent or a place to sleep she was forgotten. She slept in the animal tent curled on the ground next to me."

Ahanna smiled down at the man then walked over to him. She grabbed his arm and helped him up. "You really worry too much if you think I would be mad. Everyone has their secrets and you have the right to reveal them to whoever you wish. And I know you weren't watching." She laughed then sobered up. "Thank you for saving me those times."

Rythen was slightly hurt by what Mellie said but he understood it. He felt the same way sometimes. He had Mellie now and he had Ahanna but he was the last of the light elves from his home. He looked at Day. "I bet you had a great laugh as we tried talking to you. So what is your name? You must have one in this form."

The slightly younger two of the quad-family smiled happily, Kyle moving so that his hands circled the other woman's waist. "Don't worry, I got you. Just breath, let it go, and lean forward." He spoke calmly, softly, grip tightening minutely to help steadily. Kita came back to them in a quick backflip, squating down with her feet spaced apart, then springing up backwards so that her hands never touched the ground. Smiling as Kyle just stared at her, Kita turned to stand right beside Melony as she raised her hands above her head, leaned forward to touch them to the ground and vaulting her body to do a handstand, then falling back so her feet touched flat. She moved slow, so that the other girl could follow her easily. "Just think of it as a different way to do a cartwheel." Kita spoke, her tone soft and encouraging.

Wrapping her arms around her brother once more she gave him a tight hug. She had missed the man so much and joyful tears sprung up in her eyes. Hearing Akasha's Mother comment made her grin and made Jatan frown a bit. "I know what you're thinking brother, they're not my kids. I would have gotten word to you somehow!" She said with a laugh. "Now come on let me introduce you to everyone you don't know." Releasing her hold on him she grabbed his hand and pulled him forward. Walking over to Caleb she gave him a smile. "This is my brother Jatan. Jatan this is Caleb. Akasha, Nakita, and Kyle are his siblings." She said and pointed out each one when she said their names. "They're quadruplets and I consider each one of them like they were my own!" She was so happy that her brother was home she almost couldn't contain her excitement.

When Jatan had heard the mother comment he couldn't help but frown. He had nieces and nephew's and she didn't tell him? But once Zalia spoke he suddenly understood. When she introduced the four kids he smiled. "It's nice to meet you Caleb. Nice to meet you all," he said a bit louder so they could all hear him. Looking around the tent he noticed some familiar faces, such as the twins. He also saw a ton of new faces. He was going to have to ask Zal later.

Azra couldn't help the small smile that spread across her face as Casimir continued. "Ahh you're starting to care. Alright I can help, I'll take you but you have to go ask Zalia if it's alright for you to leave. I will not risk getting her mad at me, she's the boss. I'm sure will find something for Cire, I have just the place in mind." She did have the perfect place in mind.

Melony relaxed when she felt Kyle put his hands around er waist. Hesitantly at first she tried to copy Naki. Her muscles bunched together as she pushed herself up. She ended up wobbling horribly instead, nearly falling down. Quietly she tried again, this time she managed to flip forward but her landing left a lot to be desired. "You guys make it look so easy!"

A small frown crossed Casimir's face at the mention of Zalia. He didn't like her very much. "I threw a dagger at her, do you really think she'll let me go?" The young man hated sounding so uncertain, hated having to ask to go someplace. But he'd promised and he wouldn't break his promises no matter what happened. Once a Fremont gave his word, they never went on it unless released from it.

Kyle caught her when she started to wobble, but stepped back as she set to try again, and smiled at her comment. He helped her get ready again, lowering his head as the smile tinged with sadness. Kita saw his look, her smile wilting at the edges but not disappearing. "It may seem easy, but be happy you are learning in a pleasent environment. We learned to do it from the streets." Kita spoke softly, green eyes lost in memories, before she shuddered at something and seemed to come back to reality. Both siblings heard their names and waved to the male that stood near Zalia, but turned back to Melony, not easily side-tracked from their current task. "Alright, lets try again. But lets see if running helps, we've got the basics down, so sometimes running can help." Kita spoke, easily drawing herself up to a commanding position. She stepped back a few paces to get a running start. Speeding past them she brought the top half of her body down, hands smacking the floor as she pushed herself up into a flip and landed on her feet.

Caleb frowned, but offered a hesitant smile and wave, ducking his head in embarrassment. Sitting up slowly he missed Akasha making a back flip from the top trampoline and landing in the center of the low level behind the wolfy sibling, laughing as he bounced a bit. Caleb sputtered, landing on his back and he glared at the female. "Hello Jatan, its nice to finally meet you." Akasha said as she stepped over her brother to get closer to the edge. Grumbling, Caleb sat up and siddled up next to his sister, offering his hand to shake. "Nice to meet the 'Uncle'." He half grinned, nervously admitting outloud that yeah, he considered Zalia a mother to him and his siblings.
