( I guess I go first.. )

Unico brushed his silver hair behind his ears. He is leaning against his dresser, examining himself in the mirror's reflection. He pressed his face inches away from the glass and sighed.

I resemble to much of my beast to be truly beautiful... unless, of course, you have a fetish for reptiles..

He shook his head and stepped back. Hurriedly tied his hair into a bright red ribbon and walked to his door. As he wrapped his hand around the handle, he looked back at his spotless room and smiled with satisfaction.

"Perfection. Nothing out of place..."

As he walked into the hall and closed the door behind him, he looked around.

"I wonder if Talison has awoken yet..."

Unico walked farther down the hall. He stopped at a particular door and rapped his knuckles against the wood, calling.

"-Talison?"

[font="palatino linotype"]Siobhan was downstairs in the kitchen. She figured that since everybody was bound to wake up soon, she should go ahead and start making breakfast.

"Gah...I'm so tired..."

She yawned as the eggs started to solidify in the pan. She stirred them around with a wooden spatula and sighed.

"They'd better get downstairs if they want to eat..."

Once the eggs were finished, she put theme onto a large platter and stuck them inside the microwave, not turning it on so the food's heat would keep it warm.[/font]

Unico walked down the stairs... he stopped at the base of the last step and sniffed. He grimaced, but proceeded towards the kitchen.

"Siobhan? ...Are you burning breakfast again?" He flicked his hair back with his hand as he reached for a glass. He opened the fridge, taking a jug of milk without hesitance. As he poured his glass, he looked over to Siobhan.

"Either Talison is ignoring me, or she's not in her room. I can't tell which, especially at her age."

Unico set his glass to the side. He put the milk back in its place, then reached up and took down a smaller glass. He filled it with orange juice, then picked up both beverages and moved in the direction of the table. He set them down and called back.

"What has Siobhan prepared for us today? I won't comment, as long as its edible. Unlike last time... I'm famished."

Anser came plodding into the room, his bare, muddy feet tracking the slimy soup across the kitchen floor. "Hey everyone!" he said loudly. His mp3 player was set on such a high volume setting, the music came through his headphones. "What's for breakfast?"

He opened the fridge, smearing a bit of mud on the handle and grabbed the milk carton. He looked at Siobhan and smiled. "It smells good!" He grabbed a glass from the cabinet and poured out the milk until it reached the brim.

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan huffed and put her hands on her hips.

"Anser, don't you DARE track mud through this house EVER again!"

She shook her head, and pulled a box from the cabinets above the stove.

"I'm making something I haven't in a while. It's from my original home..."
She boiled some water in a pot, and poured it's off-white, grainy contents into it.

"They're called grits. They're kinda like a type of salty oatmeal, but MUCH better..."

She turned back at the silver-haired man
"And no, I didn't burn the stupid eggs, Unico! That was one time! I've gotten much better!"[/font]

Anser walked over to the stove cautiously; he wanted to see what Siobhan was cooking and he didn't want to track anymore mud than necessary. Needless to say, much of the milk from his glass spilled onto the floor, adding to the muddy mess. He stood on his toes to see into the pot, the stove was so high that the range reached his chin. Looking into cooking pots while something was being made was a challenge for the short wolf anichi.

"Whatever it is, it looks weird," he commented, indicating that his music had blocked out Siobhan's explanation of what the meal was.

ooc: just so everyone knows my character is only 9 years old, and easily scared

Talison woke up and ran down stairs crying, She had a nightmare and herfox ears and tail popped out cause of how uset she was.. She ran right into the mud and milk and slipped and fell on her butt, running into Anser. She heard Unico calling for her and said " Where are you UNico???"

"Talison!"

Unico dropped the stack of bowls he was carrying to the table and ran towards the fallen Talison, stepping around the mud and milk mess. He scooped her up and balanced her on his hip. His different shaded eyes gazing at the floor, then back at her.

"Tali, are you all right? You shouldn't be running in the house. Didn't we go through this last time when you almost fell down the stairs..?"

Unico smoothly walked with Talison over to the table. He set her down, then moved over and picked up a mob and bucket that had been resting in a corner. As he filled the bucket with warm water, he called back to Talison.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner Anser had been dripping everywhere..."

He laid the bucket on the floor, the proceeded to mop up the mess. He grinned to himself as he scrubbed at the mud and milk. In a mocking tone, he replied.

"-But I was so preoccupied with Siobhan's Salty Oatmeal, I had thoughts for little else."

"-But I was so preoccupied with Siobhan's Salty Oatmeal, I had thoughts for little else."

Talison cried harder and she transformed ito her full animal form right in Unico's hands and she looked at him and said in a small voice " I am sorry I didn't mean to change..."

Unico poured the dirty water into the sink. He walked back over and set the cleaning equipment down. Sighing, he fiddled with his ribbon and spoke to Talison in a tone soft and low.

"Tali... you don't have to apologize for transforming. Whether we admit it or not, our animal forms are as much as us as our faces."

He smiled and walked beside her, stroking her soft fur.

"Besides... you're just as beautiful like that."

After a moment his smile melted into a frown, as he looked over to Anser.

"-When are you going to learn to wipe those bloody feet of yours?"

Talison looked at Unico and said " I am okay... I just wish I wasn't like this..."

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan turned off the stove and ran over to Talison, kneeling in front of her.

"Aww, baby, it's fine! You look just as cute in both forms!" The green-haired woman hugged the crying fox-cub gently, as to not hurt her.

"We will always be like this, one family, okay? We will never reject you because you uncontrollably transform..."
She placed her lips on Talison's head in a quick kiss, then drew back.

"I was the same as a young girl, also..."
She looked up at Unico and mouthed 'Thank you'[/font]

Anser looked absently at Unico, his MP3 still blaring loudly. "I'm sorry . . . what?"

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan glared at Anser, stood up, and yanked the earbuds out of his ears.

"Apologize to Talison!!! You hurt her, gosh darn it!"
Then, she hit him over the head with the wooden spatula.[/font]

Anser flinched, his ears popping out his head when she hit him. "All right, all right! I'm sorry!"

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan sighed angrily and scratched the back of her head.

"Whatever...Okay, since I'm the oldest, I say that you need to clean up, then go to your room, okay?"

She crossed her arms and shook her head, the braided platelets in her hair falling out of the French braid slowly.

"I'm sorry, but that's how it is."
She then yanked the ponytail holder out of her hair, and undid the braid, letting her hair fall to her back, then she kneeled back in front of talison.

"It's going to be alright, baby. Shh...quiet, now..." She cradled the young girl, taking her out of Unico's arms, so she could more effectively console her.
"What was your nightmare about, then?"

OOC: Yes, Siobhan says 'baby' a lot for a reason. She considers herself the 'House-Mom', and so....yeah. *blink blink*[/font]

"You can't tell me what to do!" Anser said indigently. "And you're not that much older than me! You just think you can boss me around because I'm small, don't you!"

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan glared at Anser again.
"Yes, I can. I'm the only adult in this house, and what I say goes...for now. And I'm not discriminating you for your height. I'd never be so stuck-up."[/font]

Anser flicked his ears back aggressively. "You still can't send me to my room! I don't ever go in there to sleep, why would I go in there because you told me to?"

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan sighed again.

"Please, Anser? I'm kinda busy at the moment, and I'm really stressed, so unless you want me to go Anichi-form all over your hide, I'd suggest just following what I said? You can escape out of the window, for all I care."[/font]

"Fine." Anser walked towards the window above the kitchen sink and unlatched it. "Don't expect me back!"

Talison look at Anser and said " Anser I forgive you I didn't get hurt that bad... my bottom just hurts a little ok..." She clung to Siobhan and said "Sio, Mama... umm I was wondering why our family is the way we are..."

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan smiled, but her eyes didn't.

"Erm...you mean why we're animals, right? Hmm..."

She looked over at Unico and frowned quickly, then reverted back to her smile for Talison.

"Baby, it's because we're special. We were designed that way. Other people...just can't understand our uniqueness, and they're scared of something being different."
She nodded her head, and ruffled Talison's ears.

"They're not trying to be mean, it's what they do when something scares them, but don't worry. Mama will protect you."

She looked over to Anser.
"If you leave, I won't give you music or make you any more food, but you'll be free. What do you really want to give up?"[/font]

Anser climbed onto the counter, with a bit of difficulty, and glared at Siobhan. "Just don't tell me what to do! I'm sick of everybody bossing me around because I'm small! It's not my fault!" He stuck one foot out the window, balancing on the balls of his feet. "I said I was sorry!" With that, he leapt from the window and rolled when he hit the ground.

" But Why did God make us so different..." She had a single tear and it fell to the floor.

Unico sighed, as he pulled the ribbon from his hair. As the silver locks bounced towards the floor, he cocked his head and closed his eyes.

"Really, Siobhan. The last thing we need is for Anser to have an emotional breakdown. He apologized, isn't that enough? Now I'm going to have to go look for the runt before he does something ignorant..."

He glided across the room, at a pace smooth and quick. His bare feet echoed against the floor. He turned to Talison and smiled.

"Stay with Siobhan. Do whatever she tells you, yes?"

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan stared blankly at Unico.
"I was raised that if you spare the rod, you spoil the child, so to say. I'm not going to let him off because you say so, but I am sorry for my rudeness."
She leaned out of the window.

"I'm sorry, Anser!"

She walked over to the table and grabbed a plate and utensils, filled it with some food, and walked over to the living room, all the time balancing Talison on her hip.
She sat down on the couch gently, and placed Talison beside her.

"Baby, you can turn back any time you want to...and to answer your question..."
She ran a hand through her now tangled hair, and let her ears be revealed from the jade curtain of hair.

"I don't really know. No one knows why God does things, and we shouldn't question Him, ya know?"
She gestured to the plate of food.
"C'mon, you really need to eat..."[/font]

Anser was breathing heavily by the time he reached his tree. It was one of the biggest in the surrounding area, easily 120 feet high and perfect for losing yourself in. He closed his eyes and focused on his anichi form, notably his feet, hands and a tail. His body half shifted and his toes and fingers developed claws sharp enough for him to climb vertical trunk of the tree until he reached a branch. A short tail sprouted out of his spinal cord, an effective counter balance while climbing.

"Stupid Siobhan . . . she ent got no right to be telling me what to do!" he seethed, climbing the trunk with ease. "I said I was sorry . . . What more do they want?"

As before, Anser began contemplating why the others put up with him. When he was first taken to the orphanage and asked if he wanted to make dinner, the rabbits he had hunted weren't even touched by the others. It was a slam in his face and since then they almost never asked anything of him.

Try and try again, when he helped with anything, he almost always screwed up in their eyes.

"They're just so confusing . . . "

Unico stood outside the main door. His different colored eyes looking around, for any sign of their brethren.

If I dare wager a guess, he'll be hiding in his spot. Some sort of plant, if I remember..

He stepped from the path, and headed towards the field. The grass was still slightly damp with morning dew. He continued to search...

The Monks tell us we are family... I am inclined to believe them. -Friends do not bicker as much as we.

He stopped, and cupped his hands around his mouth. His voice was clear, but not to concerned.

"Anser! Siobhan has apologized. Come back. We all know she meant nothing ill of you. She's a very bossy person..."
