Sebastion looked over at Meiyu, still pinching the bridge of his nose.
"More than you can imagine. If one of my children says a 'rude' comment at the dinner table she will apologize for them, he refuses to let the girls learn to fight, she even sticks with the old tradition of holding a fan in front of your face when speaking to a male socially!"
He sighed, calling Katrina over and telling her to call her mother for dinner.
"I love her none-the-less," he said with a sigh, "Her old ways are the one thing I can't stand sometimes though."
Dentar looked at Angel and bowed his head.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you," he said, face going red, "I really didn't."
It would have been more serious-looking if he didn't have his sister on his back.
Tori sort of felt sorry for Dentar. His father wanted him to be strong, yes, but he had never imposed those thoughts on him. Besides, Mother had always taught him that if a girl wanted to be protected it would show, one way or another.
Tori remebered that and made a mental note. He would need to look for that in Fang's behaivor.

"We are whom we are." Meiyu smiled and patted Sebastian's back, "I have an inkling she's very lovely." he smiled widely, "How could you have possibly kept this secret from me for so long?" He wondered. He wasn't angry, no, not even close...just curious. More like he was thinking out loud.
Fang sighed, "Oh, it's alright...don't look so down. I just don't like being underestimated." She offered him a smile he would know she wasn't angry. True, she had been annoyed, but he seemed sincere enough. She looked back, and a p***k of guilt made her frown and she spoke up, "Well? Are you coming, Kujaku?" It was her own little way of inviting him up with the group. He may not say yes, but she felt she sort of owed him, for continuing to heal Tori and keep the bloody king out of his dreams.

Sebastion chuckled lightly and answered Mieyu's thoughts.
"I never brought her with me and you never asked about my having a mate."
Dentar smiled, throwing his sister off of his back.
"Walk," he said, his usual angry/gloomy look on his face.
Kujaku looked at Angel with a raised eyebrow walking over to Tori's side and grabbing his other arm.
"Yes, I am," he said plesantly, smiling at her and Tori.

"But surely you would have carried her scent...?" Meiyu asked confused.
Fang entwined her fingers with Tori's just for a small, but good measure. Dentar looked like he had when she first met him, and she thought he might have some sort of concealed depression or bipolar problem. Whatever...it wasn't her concern. She smiled back...mostly. She wasn't on good terms with Kujo in her mind, but not bad enough to argue over something as protective as touching her man. Did she really just think that? Her man? Sometimes she just confused herself too much..."How much longer? I'm starving!" She laughed, and tugged on Dentar's arm a little.

Sebastion shrugged, opening the doors to the dining hall.
"Don't ask me. She doesn't emit a scent. I don't know why."
Walking lazily to the head of the table, he sat down in the right seat, waiting for his lady to walk in.
"Take a seat, old friend," he said lightly, sounding every bit like a king, motioning to his right.Tori smiled, walking slowly to the table while Sandra rushed to her seat.
"Where do you want to sit?" he asked her lightly.With his sulk, he walked to the table and sat next to Sandra. He kept on the edge for when his mother walked in.
With a light movement, the woman walked into the room and smiled dazzlingly when her son and lover rose. They always did that and never failed to surprise her.
Her smile didn't falter in the slightest when she saw they had company. Nodding her head and taking her seat, she said to the older man, "Nice to meet you. My name is Rose. I am Sebastion's mate. What's your name?"

"If I might...?" He was asking for Sebastian's permission before, lifting her hand and kissing the top of it. If she was old fashioned, he would do it the old fashioned way. No need to tread in f=dangerous waters, "I am Meiyu." The old man smiled and motioned to Fang, "And that is Angel."
Fang gave a small wave, taken by the woman's beauty, and shook her head, "Um...it doesn't matter, does it?" she asked Tori quietly, in case it was a stupid question. She didn't know if they had a specific seating arrangement.

Rose giggled lightly, curtsying to him and waiting for Sebastion to sit before she did herself. She waved back at Angel, raising an amused eyebrow that she had no wings and was holding the hand of her nephew.
"You certainly do treat a lady well," she said plesantly, removing the napkin from the table and placing it in her lap. "You aren't like most of the ill-mannered men whom come and go. Like My Lord's older brother Lucian."
Tori shook his head, a web of black silk falling over his face. With a smile he head her next to Meiyu as Katrina walked in and took a seat.
"As long as you don't make eye contact with her at the table you should be fine," he whispered to her, mimicing his aunt.
Walking past her, Kujaku looked at Sebastion in askance and then lightly picked up his aunt's hand, kissing it.
"You're looking well My Lady," he said with a low voice, poiltely. Then, after hearing her reply, walked over to Angel, sitting next to her. Tori was by Meiyu and Angel was blocking him, so he had no choice.
Dentar, with a slow motion, put his napkin in his lap. He flinched when he heard his mother, once again asking when he was going to marry.
"Hopefully soon," he said, glancing at Angel and looking back at his mother, "I have my eye on someone."

"I appreciate your kind words." Meiyu grinned, and tucked his napkin in his collar so it hung over the front of his shirt, though somehow it still managed to look dashing, and polite.
Fang nodded, "Okay, thanks." She whispered to Tori, taking her seat and copied the others in putting her napkin neatly in her nap, changing her form so she looked slightly more appropriate for dining. Dressed at the woman Kujaku had first seen her as. Looking up at Dentar she grinned, "Is that so? Good for you."

Rose nodded at Angels' comment, smiling at her son.
"Who's the lucky lady?" she asked, not caring if they were Royal or not. She was very liberal on that topic.
Dentar's face went slightly red and he looked up at Angel.
"She's sitting at the table," he said, playing with the end of the tablecloth, "And she gives herself black wings with purple tips."
Tori's eyes widened as he looked at Dentar. Fang? Really? Since when? They had barely met a few hours ago!
With a sad look he looked at the table. He was only a year younger than Fang and Tori was 24. If she went for him instead, he couldn't blame her.
Kujaku almost busted out laughing. His cousin wanted THAT?! Well, in his mind, he could have it with all of his blessings. All the more room to steal Tori away from Angel.
Sebastion had to cover his mouth to keep from spitting out the wine he had been drinking.
"WHAT?!"

Fang gasped, and her face turned lobster red. Calming herself, she looked up, "May we be excused for a moment?" She motioned to herself and Dentar. She gave him a kind smile so he wouldn't be embarrassed. After all, the boy was very nice...but she felt she now had some explaining to do.
Meiyu watched with wide eyes. Why would...? He cleared his throat, waiting for someone else to answer her question.

Sebastion coughed, taking in a few deep breaths before regaining his composer.
"Go ahead," he said, watching his son get up in a cheery manner.
Dentar rose, smiling. She had reacted with a red face. That must mean she liked him too, right? Following her out into the hall, he waited for her to start talking.
Tori looked at the table with a glazed-over look. What was he going to do if she didn't like him anymore?
Kujaku saw Tori's face and his smile fell a bit. This must really be getting to him. With a smooth movement he sat in Angel's chair, placing a hand on Tori's back.
"It's going to be ok," he said lightly, "I'm here."

"Thank you." Fang stood, placing her napkin on the table and went out into the hall, "Dentar, I'm flattered, but...I'm sorry...but I don't see you that way. I hope I wasn't leading you on..." She bit her bottom lip, "I'm actually, already with someone." She twiddled her index fingers.
Meiyu cleared his throat again, "Shall we change the subject, then?" he put on a hesitant smile, hoping to lighten the suddenly dreary mood in the room.

Dentar looked at her with raised eyebrows, tilting his head. Almost exactly like Tori. The two had some of the same mannerisms, and they had both seen eachother often when he was younger. Tori was like his big brother. He acted like Tori when he was gloomy because that was all he really knew. And he had found reasons to be gloomy.
"What do you mean? Who?" he asked nicely but sadly.
Rose cleared her throat, nodding at Meiyu.
"Yes, lets. So the mountain range you all are going to be going to snowed last night, covering any tracks. You might have a hard time finding your animal," she said with a smile. She wasn't supposed to know. Sebastion had told her via a messenger bird when he was staying with his brother, however, so it wasn't too hard to figure out.

"You're really, very nice, and talented, but..." she blushed a little, "I'm with Tori." She smiled a little, "I hope this won't effect anything...as far as I'm concerned you're one of my favorite cousins." She gave him a quick hug, waiting for his answer.
Meiyu looked like he might cry, "Oh really?" he tried to think of the bright side, "Who knows? Perhaps then we may find some frozen tracks."

Dentar's face dropped considerably. He had only liked her for awhile and he was getting dumped by her as easily?
"But what would happen if you weren't with Tori?" he asked, eyebrow raised.
Rose chuckled a bit, nodding at Meiyu,
"Very true. Then after you can come back home and show them to us all," she said, motioning to the house. "After all, You all would get sick camping in the cold, and the path is only a five minute walk from here."
