Rema—Miri—Ziff

 With a resigned despair, the Sad Tricky cast his eye over his two principles‚Äîtwo Muddled kits: Miri and Ziff. "Why am I the babysitter?"he asked with a sigh.

 "Because,"Miri said patiently, pouncing on Rema, her tails waggling with excitement, "We're here to look for a Mr. Wilson, and it's going to be a surprise for Mom‚Äîsee now? We can't get Frost or Quill, because Quill's too absentminded and Frost would tell Mom; we obviously can't get Mom, and Rae is out somewhere. Miro's scared to death of his own shadow; Sia is too busy with Rally; and Ramuthra would squash us. Get it?"

 "Sorry,"Ziff murmured, blinking owlishly. "We just needed someone to come with us. You don't have to, you know, do anything..."He shrugged uncomfortably.

 "We'll see."Rema sighed distastefully, glancing around at Terrace Park. It was a nice place, with a few bubbling streams and lush grassy hills, but the Sad Tricky still didn't want to be there. He'd much rather be somewhere nice and comfortable, curled up with a box of consoling chocolates or something.

 Miri loosened her grasp on his tail and trotted off, sniffing under a bush. "Where do Mr. Wilson's normally go?"she asked curiously, squinting at the Mr. Wilson-less sky. "I don't see any. How do we catch them? Did you bring bread crumbs, Ziff? I told you to,"she added accusingly.

 "I did bring them."Ziff blinked again and produced a large, inedible-looking lump of bread. He tore off a bit and nibbled it, and promptly spat it out. "Ugh. Lea might be nice, but her cooking still reeks. Mom said we should have cooked our own lunch, and she was right."
 
 Rema lumbered over to a hillock and lay down, closing his eyes. "Well, if you need me, I'll be sound asleep. In other words, if you need me, too bad."The Tricky sighed and stretched, basking in the sun. Ziff and Miri stared at him for a second before they began to stare around, sniffing intently.

 "Smell anything?"Miri asked eagerly, twisting her tail around a lump of bread and waving it hopefully. Ziff shook his head as he peered down a hole.

Hope

A yonyuu walked through the park, the warm sunlight spreading over her fur. She stopped and looked around. Then she shook her head, and proceeded. She searched for a while, but obviously did not find whatever she was looking for.

Tired, she dropped down onto a patch of cool grass, not noticing the two kuhna kits, or the sad tricky. She sighed and opened her eyes, looking up at the sky. I've never heard of a time when there were no Wilsons about. They must sense that Jaden wants one...as a companion for me. Or maybe there are more people looking for them.

The common yonyuu sighed and closed her eyes, drifting off into sleep.
Who wouldn't?

[SweetDisaster]

"Hey!" Suddenly, Ziff's head shot up; Miri glanced at him. "I smell something!" he said eagerly, his nose twitching. "It's kind of...furry?" He blinked in confusion. "Over there," he added, at Miri's questioning look.

"A Mr. Wilson?" Miri had forgotten, apparently, that Mr. Wilsons had feathers, not fur. She pounced at random in the direction that Ziff had pointed, and found herself inches away from a Yonyuu. She blinked, bewildered; she'd never seen a Yonyuu before.

Ziff followed her and then shrank back at the sight of the canine creature. "W-what's it?" he stammered, blinking rapidly.

"A...I don't know." Miri cocked her head and then hesitantly nudged the Yonyuu's thick tail. "Excuse me, what are you?"

(2, 2, 2)

[Jaden Wolf]

The yonyuu's eyes shot open in surprise and she lifted her head. She looked around, wondering what had woken her. Then she saw the kits and relaxed. What am I? They must not have seen a creature like me before. I'm not surprised. They ARE young.
"I am called a yonyuu, little ones. My name is Hope. Are you two here alone?" she asked them, not daring to move in case she might scare them. She had never seen kuhna kits, but knew enough about them from Berry, a mother kuhna at her home.

[SweetDisaster]

"Yonnnnyuuu..." Ziff tried the word, rolling it around his mouth happily. Then, "Hoooopppeee...?"
"Yonyuu Hope," Miri said happily, her tails swaying happily. She blinked, thought quickly, remembering what her mother had said about manners. "Oh, um...m...nice to meetcha, I'm Miri...and...and, um..."
"I'm Ziff," Ziff put in quickly. Then he turned scarlet and ducked, shyly examining his forepaw.
Miri went on, oblivious to her brother's discomfort, "We're not alone, but really we are, 'cause Rema's here with us - he's that Sad Tricky over'n the sun - but he's asleep, so he doesn't count." She blinked, bright-eyed. "How come you're here alone? Don't you need someone with you, too?"
Ziff, reemerging from behind Miri, blinked owlishly. "We're looking for Mr. Wilsons," he muttered.

[Jaden Wolf]

Hope smiled. She loved the way young ones acted. Sure, she had never seen a young kuhna kit, but she had seen little ones. She nodded as they spoke, then laughed lightly. "No. I don't have to have someone with me, but I'm looking for a Mr. Wilson too. To be my companion...my...friend, I guess you could say." she spoke, then tried to simplify it a bit...take out the big words. "Well, you're not alone now, since I'm here." she said kindly. Then she opened the wing farthest from the kits and stretched it. She didn't want to scare the kits by opening the other one...actually, it would probably hit them.

[SweetDisaster]

"Friend," said Miri happily, and watched curiously as Hope unfurled one of her wings. "I don't have wings yet," she told Hope, although it was probably quite obvious, "but I'm supposed to when I grow up."
Ziff nodded shyly, mumbled, "Me too. I'm gonna go back to looking..." And then sprang into a nearby bush, his tails waggling with excitement. Inside, he probably really did want to talk to Hope, but he was just too shy. Drat Yamaha for giving him shy genes.
Miri, meanwhile, was perfectly happy to keep talking. "You know what? I think you'd be a better...watcher...than Rema is. He's just sleeping...he didn't even want to come." She sighed, looking a bit downcast. "How come you want a Mr. Wilson friend?" she went on. To anybody but a very patient one, she would probably come off as extremely talkative, but then they'd never see her in her depressed stage. "Aren't they afraid of Kuhnas? Are they of Yonyuus?"

{3, 3, 3}

[Jaden Wolf]

Hope watched as Ziff went off, then turned her attention to Miri. She likes to talk...so much like Jaden. If you got to know her that is... she thought, then realized that the kit had asked a question. "Oh, yes...they can be scared of anyone...I'm sure they get alot of people chasing them, or almost running over them...", she broke off with a light laugh then resumed "but I'm sure they'd be good friends too." she said. Then something occured to her. "Why do you want a Wilson little one? Just for your master?" she asked.

[SweetDisaster]

"Master? No." Miri shook her head as she peeked under a bush. A minute ago, she had nearly tripped over a branch in her attempt to search while looking politely at Hope. "It's a present for mom...that's why we brought Rema along, and not Mom..." She shrugged and sighed impatiently at the absence of Mr. Wilsons.

Ziff wandered to the end of the lake, amusing himself by patting gently at the water with a paw, watching as ripples spread away from the spot at which he scooped. "This is fun...it looks like our water bowl, only bigger." The kit glanced up at Miri, remembered Hope, and flushed. "Um, please, can you tell me what this is?" He gestured at the lake vaguely.

{4, 4, 4}

[Jaden Wolf]

Hope nodded as Miri told her why the two kits...and the sad tricky...were there. Then she heard Ziff speak and looked over. She smiled, and stood, walking over. "It's a lake." she said smiling. "I don't know if it's safe to drink...so I don't think you should try." she said, laughing lightly. Now that she was standing up, she stretched out and opened both of her wings to stretch them.

[SweetDisaster]

"Lake?" Ziff thought quickly, his mind racing over the stories Yamaha had told him and Miri before. None came to mind. "Not safe to drink? How come?" He blinked. "Are there dangerous creatures in there?"

Miri, assuming a rather arrogant role (which Ziff despised more than any other), said, "Of course not - you might fall in and never get out, like that bug in the water dish, remember?"

Ziff blushed. "Oh...yeah." Then he recovered enough to add, "You needn't be so...arro...arro...smug about it." He glanced at Hope. "Do you know any Kuhnas?"

{5, 5, 5}

[Jaden Wolf]

Hope was about to respond about why the lake wasn't safe to drink, but his sister seemed to answer...though it wasn't completely true. Then she smiled as he asked her another question. "Yes, I know about 9 kuhnas. Plus four to six more from friends of Jaden." she said, then she frowned, trying to think of a way to simplify that. "I know quite a few." she said with a smile. Why did I not just say that right away?

[SweetDisaster]

 "Nyne?" Ziff echoed in wonder. Then he nodded. "Oh...a few. Okay." He blinked, cocking his head curiously. "Do you know any kits our age?" he asked hopefully.

 "We only know Mom and a Cake Kuhna, and Arkuhna and a Common Kuhna, and...a, um, a Revelate Kuhna and another Common Kuhna," Miri listed quickly, thinking. "And...Dad, and Borealis, our sister...only she went to live with Dad, so we don't see her much." She tilted her head, in mimic of Ziff.

{6, 6, 6}

[Jaden Wolf]

Hope smiled down at the kits. "No, I don't know any your age. I'm sorry. Though I've heard lots of stories." she said. Then she laughed gently as Miri spoke. "That's quite a few. I know a Common kuhna, an Arkuhna, a Hydrokuhna, a Cake kuhna, three Spectrekuhnas, a Spangled...and a...Kanua." she said. Then she smiled again.

[SweetDisaster]

"Not much," Miri said proudly. "Dad and Mom and Ziff and Borealis don't count, since they're family...and one Common Kuhna is Mom's brother of sorts, so he doesn't count either." She puffed out her chest proudly nonetheless, though. "Hey, maybe you'n come over'n visit sometime!"

Ziff pounced on his sister's swishing tail playfully. "You'd have to get Mum to say okay, first, though," he muttered through a mouthful of fur; he spat out Miri's tail, gazing admiringly at the much-larger figure of the Yonyuu - not as big as the Garagnir at their place, but still big. And not as scary.

"What a Kanua?" asked Miri, cocking her head as she uttered the word. It sounded kind of like Kuhna...and kind of like...candy? Hmm. "Is it yummy?" she asked hopefully. She twitched her tail out of Ziff's grasp as he ventured at it again.
