"So what exactly do you want us to do?" Karasu asked slightly annoyed at her eldest brother Tito. Beside her Fang was curled up next to Kitsune watching over the baby Battlefield Tali, like a mother hen would her chicks. After the last misshap with her getting lost in Terrace Park and all the trouble that had happened the pretty Venom Draculi had grown a near maternal instinct for the pup who was now curled up sleeping. Yes, why exactly do you want us to go to Jawan? After all you hardly awcknoledge Karasu and suddenly you want go send her on vacation? There must be some sort-of catch? Karasu winced as Akumai's 'voice' filled the room. A talented and mysterious Hollowheart he was a 'gift' from her grandfather when she was named heir of Pheonix Sanctuaries a world class Evelon Zoo. As much as she cared for the Temple pet his couldn't help but be slightly freaked-out by on of his traits; ThoughtSpeech. While all Hollowhearts had it, he was the only one who made such a habbit of using it, especialy for pointing out things he thought were 'wrong'. Despit this she had to admit that he had a point -as he often did- her older brother Tito was a financial genius and, as his excuse was for never spending time with her that he was too 'busy' making sure that there was money to provide for his 'favorite wild little sister'. But, she thought sorely, as right as he is that's not an excuse for trying to stir up trouble. In front of her Fantashia, her brother's Jewel Magistrey, puffed up angrly, her gaze blazing and her feathers ruffled. Her voice usually a smooth, soft pitch was suddenly screechingly high. "You have no right to say such things like that to Master Tito! You..." The majestic bird stopped as tito raised his hand to clam her. "It's okay Fantashia," his voice was calm and reasurring and at that point Karasu realized how uncomfortable she was when her brother was like this. A normal person would have been furious at Akumai, after-all he had praticaly accused Tito of both neglecting and trying to take advantage of his younger sister, not only that but it was definetly not his place to talk. But if anything the comment had made the man calmer. Too calm.... she couldn't help but think as she studied her brother. "The Hollowheart is right, the financial matters keep me far too busy to spend time with my favorite wild little sister," There he goes again, Karasu thought bitterly. "As much as I would love to spend time with such a pretty, intelligent, young girl..." Oh dear now he's complimenting me Akumai was right there is a catch, "I do believe though that a vacation to Jawan would be a nice change of scenery, do you still love the beach Karasu? I remember you loved to collect seashells and swim with Fang." Karasu nodded so that her sadness wouldn't be apparent through her voice. She remembered when Tito used to take her and Fang to the beach all the time with her other siblings but that was before her parents had died... "Well then that's good since Jawan is a fomous vacation spot, it's a Sea City with lots of pretty shells for you to collect." Karasu looked up and saw that her brother was wearing a small reasuring smile. Karasu smiled sadly as she looked at her brother, I must be so frustrating for him, she thought wistfully, That he can't figure me out. After-all she was nothing like her other siblings, the exception possibly her other brother Talen. Her eldest sister, Bellez was as beautiful as the city of Jawan itself and by now she would have been hugging Tito and calling him the best brother ever, always pleased with material ppossesions. The twins Cecily and Tina were easily pleased with any gift after-all they were such well-mannered and 'high breed' young ladies. And Talen her close, wild brother was rather happy-go-lucky and a new car would make him have a fit of joy. Karasu however was so simple, oh she loved and appreciated the gifts but her happiness couldn't be bought so easy and her brother, with his habit of trying that, should have known that. "So there is a catch, huh?" She finally responded. Her brother raised an eyebrow and gave a small smirk. "I always said you were smart, it's not exactly a catch but more of a favor, though I wouldn't blame you if you declined. No matter what your awnser though I still will be sending you on a vacation to The Sea City Jawan." Karasu nodded her suspicions proven and beside her the large Temple Hollowheart stood up a little starighter, while both Fang ,and the newly awakened Kitsune, watched curious. "Well, what is it?" Karasu asked casualy, determined to be as cool and calm as her brother. Her brother simply glazed at her and smiled slightly, his black eyes glistening, and his handsome face amused. "I'd like you and your 'partners' (Karasu's name for her 'pets'.) to investigate a report for me..."
