In one of the dens

Kimiko Bloom Crimson

The coal 'ess had given birth to five little bundles of fur somewhere outside of Meutrier boarders. She had just recently returned to the Veldt and occupied one of the dens for her little family. The cubs were old enough to walk and talk by now, but she felt it was too soon for them to wander around outside on their own. Her red optics went from Koma, who rolled around on the floor and playfully waved his paws up in the air, to the entrance. Maybe she should gather some more meat to the young from the stockpile?

Project Caliver

So in the end the Crimson daughter had been pregnant. The cubs she bore belonging to the blonde male. It had crossed his mind many times as to why she had insisted she go elsewhere to give birth. He had thought he had gotten her to change her mind but no, she had slipped away and went missing for weeks. It pissed Project off quite frankly. What made Meurtrier's dens so unfit for his children?
Green's watched the den like a hawk. Project had yet to go and investigate, though he knew Kimiko and the cubs were there. It irked him that he didn't know how many there were, their genders, names. Had she already given them names? A growl rumbled and the new father stood, tail lashing with agitation. His eyes were locked on the mouth of the den, ears erect and his face stern. He and Kimiko had never really seen eye to eye but for some reason they could never stay away from each other and it angered the male in his lack of understanding the reason.
As he came closer, an ear twitched to the sounds of playing youth. They sounded so young still. Project loudly cleared his throat, letting Kimiko know of his presence.

Miri Crimson-Caliver

Stirring from her sleep the small cub yawned making a high 'mew' sound in the process to alert her mother that she too was no awake and would like some attention.

Rolling onto her side and stretching her small limbs out Miri ended up bumping into the side of one of her brothers Koma, smiling playfully she sat up quickly and leapt on her brother and began chewing playfully on his ear. Despite having just woken up the little blonde maned cub seemed to be full of energy, ignorant to the world around her.

Crosshatch Crimson

The young male simply sat, batting a piece of moss between his two front paws; whenever it would somehow roll out of reach, he would sigh and pick it up. He was growing bigger, more restless, he felt almost a bit bored of the dark inwards of the den. The light at the top of the den... Was tempting. Finally swatting the moss ball away, he sniffed a bit more towards the mouth- hoping to catch a glimpse of-

The loud sound of Project clearing his throat made him jump in surprise, and he skittered back to his mother quickly, gazing at the distant mouth with wide blue eyes. "What was that?"

Kimiko Bloom Crimson

Someone cleared their throat outside. A curious bypasser? She instructed her children to stay in the back of the den while she approached the entrance to investigate. Reds found Project on the outside, "Project.." she said and poked her head out of the den.

Koma snarled and snapped after his sister when she began to chew on his ear. A small paw extended to push Miri away from him but it halted when a noise startled him. Cross came running back and their mother instructed them to stay.

COCAINE & NOVOCAIN

[/b] my grandcubs, no?"[/i]

Novocain poked his head up. He was an uncle?[/ul][/blockquote]

Miri Crimson-Caliver

Miri giggled with her brothers ear still in her mouth but she reluctantly let go of it before flopping her head on top of him.
"Grumpy Koma is a gruummp!"she exclaimed loudly before her attention was drawn to Crosshatch's and his question and was suddenly both nervous and curious as there mother asked for them to stay. Lifting her head of her little brother she cuddled up nervously behind both Koma and Cross as she peeked her head out to watch and listen to what was happening.

Project Caliver | Kalea Crimson-Caliver

His gaze had been held hard, yet they softened ever s slightly as Kimiko's face slowly peered from the darkness. She said his name and he began to crack a small smile but he face was suddenly blank once more as a familiar voice sounded.
Project took a tender step to the side, offering his father a mirrored nod before looking down to one of his younger siblings. Project didn't know very much about Novocain, other than the fact that he seemed to be attached to their sire. He followed the cubs gaze back to the den. "I see no reasons as to way you couldn't. But it is however up to Kim on whether or not anyone gets to see them at all." His face finally offered the black 'ess that smile, though briefly.


Kalea watched with her mother's blood red's as her sister bothered their brother. She gave a small giggle and stood as if to join in the fun but was halted when Kimiko ordered them to stay put. With reluctance, the little girl plopped back down on her rump, eyeing the back of their mother, straining to see what was going on.

Kimiko Bloom Crimson

Reds flicked from the new father to the Commander and a young cub riding on his head. The coal 'ess offered Cocaine a nod in aknowledgement before her gaze shifted to Project. "Yes, they are Cocaine's grandchildren and your cubs. But.. It is too soon for them to wander wander around outside.. Especially when La Morte could be lurking around." she added. Lothaire wouldn't attack her cubs but.. La Morte had more members than just Lothaire and Najisi..
"I guess a quick look would be okay.." she mumbled and stepped aside; "It's okay cubs, come meet your father.. and grandfather". Kimiko didn't want to stirr up trouble.. when the Commander was around.

Just as Novocain had popped up out of the wonders and forest that was their father's mane, Victoria wasn't far behind him. She followed suite, just on his heels and stared at her father as he spoke, taking up the open side of her father that was unoccupied by anyone else. Leaning into every word that spilled out, enjoying the calmness and paying no mind to what anyone else may be saying. A revered idol to the young girl; Victoria was nothing short of a self-made student whether her father wanted this or not. After he spoke she would copy any subtle or clear movements that he did, including where his head would turn, what he would look at - but the focus seemed to be on the weird noises and scents that emitted from a den nearby, with a weary mother just at the entrance.

?? What's in there?

She would look to her father for but a moment before quickly staring at the den again, trying to figure out what all the commotion was about.

Project Caliver | Kalea Crimson - Caliver

Project was a bit surprised at Kimiko's unusual willingness. But then he had to remember that Coke was sitting there as well.
The blonde male gave an understanding nod to the mother's concerns. "I wouldn't worry about La Morte. After the last episode I highly doubt they'd waltz right into the Veldt and touch a single hair on the cub's heads." He knew she wouldn't be so easily convinced but he figured he'd tell her anyway. Green's soon flicked to his younger sister. He watched with mild curiosity as to why she was mimicking the Commander. Project furrowed a brow as to why Cocaine seemed to show so much leniency towards the last litter compared to the first and second. Perhaps his age was beginning to show? Stifling a grin to the thought, Pro turned his attentions back toward the den's entrance. He watched as a tiny black head poked from the darkness. The little female blinked several times in surprise to the amount of light that flooded her vision. She stayed close to Kimiko, one little paw lifting to rest on the mother's foreleg.

Kalea didn't hesitate when she and her siblings were beckoned. But her enthusiasm quickly vanished as she peered around her mother to their visitors. She blinked before squinting, her eyes taking a few seconds to adjust to the quick shift from dim to bright.
the cub clung to Kimiko's front leg, tiny claws holding a grip. Who were these creatures? Her father and grandfather? Which was which? Who were the smaller ones? She looked up to the coal 'ess questioningly.

Miri Crimson-Caliver

At her mothers words the small female wiggled out from behind her two brothers and joined her sister behind there mothers other front leg hideing behind it and peeping her head out.

It took her small crimson eyes some time to get used to the bright lights of the outside world as well as the weird smells that were so much clearer here. The little blonde maned cub merely blinked at the two larger beings and two smaller ones. Looking between all four of them confused as to who they were or which was which.

COCAINE, NOVOCAIN

[/i] Cocaine said. He straightened out, on alert, just in case. Though his eyes didn't leave the small cubs that tumbled out slowly. Something akin of pride swelled quietly within his chest. At last one of his sons had gone and brought his lineage further down. Project, too. Cocaine hadn't seen that one coming.

Victoria and Novocain were with him as well. Curious, no doubt. They weren't much older than Ryssor's cubs, and Ryssor's weren't much older than Kimiko's. Though the size may have made the difference and he turned to his two cubs; Victoria and Novocain. "These are your nephews and nieces. Be careful not to scare them." His tone was soft and quiet, as was his face. He didn't frown, though he didn't smile either. Project's assumptions in age getting to Cocaine was definitely justified in this act. Though make no mistake, a softening heart did not mean softening muscles. [/ul][/blockquote]

Crosshatch Crimson

The little male wrapped around his mother's back leg. Within the darkness of the den... Visitors almost looked scary to him, and he wasn't too enthusiastic to meet these intruders. Though apparently one was his father... But which one? Looking to his siblings, he concluded that they wondered the same thing. As the two other cubs came into the scene, interest and curiosity perked as he watched them. Like him... Only bigger. Would he be that way soon? Detaching from his mother, he wobbled only slightly towards the other cubs, blue eyes gleaming as he sniffed in their direction cautiously.

Kimiko Bloom Crimson

Kimiko was not convinced, she'd seen Hajime among the Meurtrians and she was almost certain his presence had something to do with Najisi. Kimiko didn't fear Hajime and she'd not turn him in, but what if there were other La Morte members or allies around? the coal 'ess had to keep a watchful eyes on everyone who got close to her den and cubs.
Her gaze shifted to her cubs, "This is your father; Project, and this is your grandfather, Commander Cocaine" she informed them and motioned her paw in their direction. "And these two are your uncle and aunt".
Koma slowly walked up to his mother and sat down next to her paw. Red optics gazed up at his father and grandfather.
