Amika was grinning from ear to ear as she held onto Esmme's hand, she tried to stay as close to the woman as she could, of course she stumbled a little bit as she wved by to everyone behind her, once they reached the city and she saw all the well dressed people, she looked down at her self and felt bad, she looked as if she belonged on the street, that she was out of place among everyone. "Mummie.....what are they wearing?" she asked her as she pointted to a group of girl's dressed up in winter clothes, she bit her lip slightly as she squeezed Esmme's hand tightly as she looked around the city in awe.

(Buenos Noches everyone, I's baaaack lol. Just to throw in my tidbit about conflict, I'm always down for conflict milady you know this, whether it be a good feud between clans or even a hostile invasion by a larger more violent clan. And in no family does everyone get along all the time so Vyr and Ehl being rivals is health lol)

Vyr watched the happy family come together finally as if it were a puzzle finally complete and it brought an odd calm to his bones that had been absent in his year alive as a Drow. Not bothering to move from his position against the wall, the white haired elf allowed his eyes to meet Ehl's as he made his way to the door. The invitation he had just extended was for Adia he assumed although he was looking at him and he fought back a snarl in his chest as he glared his answer back to his brother. He had no intentions of going anywhere with Ehl, if he could help it, and at this moment... he could. Breaking his gaze away from the blue eyed vampire, Vyr looked at the reunited couple of Helga and Keji. They seemed happy, a feeling that he seemed to lack at the moment but it didn't bother him much. Esmme seemed to have a knack for the mother role as she kept the reigns on this clan tight. It was easy to tell that they were all close knit and that they all got along well for the most part. Himself aside everyone else seemed to fit in here just fine...

Esmme chuckled, and then grasped Ameika's hand. "Those are winter clothes. See the hats and mittens?" The vampire pointed to a shop window, where the light inside glowed softly. "Do you want some? They keep little fingers and ears warm in the snow."
With a smile, she stroked Ameika's ears, and then started toward the first of the stores. Luckily, it was still open at such a late hour. "Do you want to pick the color, little one?" Looking about the store, Esmme nodded to the shopkeeper before nudging Ameia in the direction of some of the clothing. She would need more than just a hat and gloves, but starting here would be a good idea.
-

((Ah! Buenos noches, Marsyas. ;) Como esta, mi amigo? *laughs* That's most of my Spanish vocabulary right there. :XD I'm glad to get your "two cents" about the conflict! Good to hear. *nods*

I'll find a way to drag Vyr into this again. :twisted: Make him engage with the others. *rubs hands together fiendishly*))

"Ummh." Amieka said as she nodded her head furiously as she pressed her nose to the shop window, her eyes were wide as she grinned widely. "Wow!!!!" she said as she was clearly impressed by the colors that they came in, her ears perked forward so it felt a little wierd when Esmme petted them. "Ah. AH!" she gasped as she walked into the store and saw everything, soon she was running around, tugging various mittens onto her ears, tugging hats on her hands and feet, even other bites of clothing onto her in the wrong way.

Esmme laughed, and then moved to pull the mittens off of wherever they shouldn't have been. "They go on your hands," the woman stated, and tugged a couple over Ameika's fingers. "Do you like purple? Or does another color make you happy?" The vampire glanced up at the hats, reaching for a smaller one. Depending on what color of gloves she got, she would get a matching hat. From there, a coat and some pants, a shirt, some socks and boots, and possibly a scarf. Luckily, the Cullyn family wasn't low on funding. . . .

"Ah! Wow!!!!" Ameika exclaimed as her eyes went widein awe at the realization of where the mittens go at on her body. "These are pretty!!!" Ameika said as she held up a pair of teal and black stripped mittens, she then frowned as she caught sight of her tail out of the corner of her eye. "Do i get one of those for my tail?" she asked as she pointed at the hat that was in Esmme's hands, she wasnow holdding on to her tailbefore she started to try and pull the mittens on her feet, still not completely sure about everything, just knowing she liked them and how warmthey made her.

"Only one pair of mittens for your hands," Esmme laughed, and then took a hat that matched the gloves and pulled it on over her head. "And one hat for your head. Boots and socks for your feet, dear." She pointed to the next section of clothing, and ended up sizing Ameika's feet for the boots, and then after that ordeal she pulled her along to the clothing. Pants, a shirt, and a coat were chosen with her color preferences, and then the vampire nodded. "Feeling warm?" she asked, taking a scarf as a final touch. Wrapping it about the kitsune's neck, she smiled. "Do you like them?"
It had taken nearly a half an hour to show the girl where everything was worn, and now she should have a pretty good idea. They still needed to get food, and before it got too late. "We need to hurry so we can get some food for you, darling." Patting Ameika's head, she went to the counter and began to barter with the shop-keeper for a good price. It wasn't hard, though the clan mother refrained from using her vampiric charm to daze the poor man.

"Wow......it itches though." Ameika whined, but she did love the clothes since they were all black and teal, she soon pulled the hat off her head and bite holes into it before tugging it back on, her ears sticking out the holes that she had made. "Oh Mommy.....thank you....i like it all." she said to her as she smiled up at the woman, after all it had taken longer to get her dressed and everything on her properly since she had tried to pull it on her the wrong way, like the pants on her arms andthe shirts onto her legs, but now it was all sorted out and she looked semi human. "Ah.....FOOD!!!" she cried and started to run about the shop as he mind was now on the food that Esmme had mention.

((*giggle*))

Esmme soon caught up with Ameika, and scooped her up out of the snow. "This way, silly." The vampire set the kitsune down not far from the store where she was heading. The man that saw her coming waved, and greeted them kindly.
"Been a while since I've seen ye 'round here."
The woman smiled, and explained that her family kept her rather busy. As she spoke, she nudged Ameika toward the food. "Pick some of your favorites. I'll get some to take home."

Ameika screamed and giggled as she tried to get away from Esmme, her eyes went wide as she saw all the food, drooling some as she just stood there, stumbling forward a little bit as she was pushed. "Mommy......it all looks and smells yummy." she said to Esmme as she looked up at her, climbing up the woman slightly as she hugged her, a few minutes passed before she grabbed a basket and just started to push a bunch ot things into it before she got to the candy, opening one up as she plopped down on the floor and begin to eat it.

Smiling, Esmme took the rest of the candy from Ameika. "Not yet." With a chuckle, the woman began to pay for the food that had been gathered - just enough to last for a good couple weeks. They'd be back soon, no doubt. The vampire swiftly finished up the shopping, and then headed back to the cavern with the kitsune in tow. "Come along, love." Kissing her ear, the clan mother smiled, flinging her bag over her shoulder before kneeling down. They were outside of town, which was the perfect time for them to launch forward with vampiric speed.

The two were home before dawn.

Ameika had a shocked look on her face once the candy was taken away from her, she made grabby motions at it before she followed after Esmme to the edge of the town. She quickly clung to her like she was a baby bear as they speed off towards the den, it was becomming clearer that the childlike kitsune was becomming more and more mature with each thing that she learned.

((*smiles* I'm sorry, but I'm a bit at a loss for what to post right now. I'm not sure what to do with everyone else still on hold. :sweat:))

(i know how you feel lol)

((Hey all - this probably isn't a surprise considering how long I've vanished, and I really feel bad about this, but I must quit this RP. I simply don't have the time in my schedule to role play anymore. It was A LOT of fun, though. You all had amazing characters, and it was great to interact with all of them. I lend my characters Helga and Adia to whomever most wants to play with them in this RP universe, but please don't use them elsewhere. If no one wants to use them, feel free to have them move away or *gulp* die, lol. Again, it was very rad to hang out with you guys here, and I hope you all continue to have a great time. I have a feeling that this will always be my favorite RP. ^_^ A special thanks to Esmme for this RP universe and to all of you for filling it out with such diverse characters.))

((:hug: Aw . . . I am sad to see you go! I know the feeling, dear. I'll take care of Adia and Helga for you, and if you ever feel like jumping back in, just say so. Even if it's unlikely, I'll just have my characters take care of yours. :yes: Thank you for letting us know, luv! *waves goodbye* It was possitively lovely having you with us while you were here!))

((Thank you very much, Esmme! I'll miss you all. :) ))
