(Continued from the post I just made on the Lepus) As soon as my eyes meet hers, I know I'm in trouble. There's no question that what I've just done is practically unforgivable. She wasn't supposed to know I was gone. I was hoping I would be back before she was, but of course I wasn't. There was Madi, hands on hips, angry as ever that I even budged from my bed, her own Wild Lhedis by her side also seemingly glaring at me. Inje, who hasn't let go of my hand since we started back home, finally gently drops it, licking my fingers once softly before padding off as if there's no problem at all. Instead of trying to explain outright to Madi why I'm completely drenched through my jacket, my hair plastered to my face from rain and my clothes probably covered in mud from the ground, I clear my throat and turn back to the Lepus in my arms.
"Th..This is your new home now, Ruskea..all of these others will be your friends..so..why don't you meet them and start to play? Daddy has to uh..talk to his girlfriend for a minute because he's in trouble."
With that, I kiss the small bunny once more and gently set her down, and she looks at me in slight concern and wonder, making sure it's okay to just hop off, and when I nod at her she does so, finding her way to some of my other pets to make friends with them. With that, I turn back to Madi to await the worst.
However, just as she's about to let loose every bit of rage I think she's pent up in the last twelve years, a very noticeable oona steps out lightly, in a rather shy manner, from behind her legs, and my eyes widen a little at its beauty. The beautiful creature is green and has what looks to be beautiful ivy swirling over its pelt, clover-like hearts glowing on his skin and a gorgeous, forest-stricken gradient running over his wings. At first glance I actually think he's a girl with just how beautiful he is, but it's soon confirmed he is, in fact, a male, and he blinks at me in a way that looks unsure, curious but nervous, and I look up to Madi to ask where she got him.
The answer seems to be simple to her. She knew I was sick so she took my oona spell tag to go fetch one for me, as well as some coins to pay her way. She had apparently been afraid I'd be mad at her for taking my stuff and using it without my permission, and was even more nervous I wouldn't like the oona she brought back, but immediately I shake my head and make sure she knows he's beautiful and perfect. His curled horns make him even cuter, and I let myself lower to a kneel. Though I'm still dripping a little bit from my jacket having gotten so soaked, I wave him over and he slowly pads to me, still uneasy but the gentle hand I raise to stroke his cheek seems to confirm I won't hurt him, and before long, despite how wet I am, he's pressing closer and I feel his face burying into my jacket and I hug him happily.
"Muratti," I say gently, and he looks up at me like he's confused. "I think I'm gonna call you Muratti, if it's alright. It means Ivy in Finnish, and considering the magical look you have about you with that ivy and those heart clovers of yours, I think it's pretty fitting, don't you?" He seems to smile at me in answer, and I know it's a match.
But once our little meet and greet is over and I'm standing straight up again, one thing is made obvious.
None of this changes the fact that I'm in huge trouble.

I couldn't say I was exclusively angry, perhaps it was a default because it was less painful, less exhausting to be angry rather than worried, to yell instead of cry. When I saw him in front of me, wet and dirty and worse for the wear my heart ached in relief and I nearly sobbed on the spot. Since I got back to discover him missing I had done nothing but pace and think and over think and worry all over again. My hair had changed colours three times already in my distress and I could feel it start to settle back into a rust colour now that he was in my sights again. Anger was the only thing I would let myself show, hands on my hips and eyes dark with shallow rage. He nervously saw off the small bunny he brought back from where/ever/ he went and stand again to face me.
I feel the words start to bubble out of me, I had planned something to say, probably something destructive and awful along with any sort of reprimand but I'm cut short by the oona who accompanied me early, the one I got specifically for Kyler, hoping to cheer him up. I both feel the words die on my lips and the anger flare at my core at the sight of his face when he spots the pretty boy. He asks me where it came from and I tell him quietly about the exploration I took, how I took his stuff when I thought he was sleeping so I could get the boy for him, as a sign of nervousness I ramble about what I'd told the oona, how I'd feared Kyler'd be mad and wouldn't like my hastiness, my presumptuousness in trying to do something for him but he quickly cuts me off to reassure that he's beautiful in an awed voice. I just nod in response and turn my head away as he greets his new oona who seems to be taken with him as well. after a moment the newly named Muratti seems to look between us as Kyler stands again. I can't say I'm angry anymore, it nearly drained out of me when I voiced my concerns about the oona but I couldn't meet Kyler's eye at the moment.
After a stretched silence he softly says my name and I lift me eyes to meet his; he looks nervous, and my resolve finally breaks, I feel my face twist as my eyes brim with tears, worry and fear and relief finally flooding out, my throat feels tight so I don't speak. Instead I close the distance between us, Muratti moving out of the way but still watching us as I touch either side of his face feeling a few tears slip down and unable to control my noise at the feeling of his cold skin in my warm palms. The first actual cry hits me and I can no longer stop myself so I wrap my arms around him and bury my face into him so he doesn't have to see my none-too-pretty sobs. I stay like that until I can feel myself calm down, lifting my head enough to mumble something about him being wet before stripping him of his soaked jacket. I can't recall what I actually did with the thing but I lost it somewhere between leading him back to his room and making him change into something dry and toweling his hair until it's no longer soaking.
I know my crying was just a product of over thinking what might happen to him, and I know I probably made a right fool of myself falling out of my anger so quickly and hanging on him, but I couldn't help it, Kyler was sick and how could I not worry over all the possible scenarios that could have taken place due to his sneaking off when no one, particularly me, could stop him. It was stupid, and silly, and exactly like him to do such a thing; as it was for me to worry and over imagine and assume the worst and, as a result, getting angry over nothing but also everything.
I silently lead him by the shoulders once he's dry, bringing him over to his bed and gently pushing him to lay down, once he gets comfortable I quietly crawl in bed next to him and settle in myself. I know he's sick and might not want my company, but I can't help but continue to cling to him in a warped sense of desperation. While we are together and enjoy a cuddle every now and then we don't usually make a habit of sleeping in one another's beds, it might be because of our separate houses and pets to worry about or possibly because we just aren't entirely at that point in our relationship but for now I don't really care.

I jump when the spell tag vaporizes from between my fingers and startle at the glowing markings that appear in the branches. Cagali flutters her wings but doesn't seem overly threatened by its presence as it starts to move toward me. I notice after only a moment that the moving figure is the oona I had come looking for and that he seemed ready to come home with me. I take a moment to look over his markings, crouching to meet him as he gets to ground level. I smile kindly and reach out a hand to him and, after a moment of hesitance, he pushes his head into my open palm and rubs his horn along my fingers before giving me a steady look. My smile grows fond as I take my hand back, taking another look at the markings that cover his body. I cant help but think of the heart shaped markings as clovers; it sounds a bit gross but I used to pick clovers and eat them as a kid because I enjoyed the way they tasted and seeing the green hearts brought me back to those days. I snap myself out of my thoughts as a new bud of worry sprouts, would Kyler appreciate me just taking his stuff and using it to get such an oona? What if he didn't like this boy? Would this boy just remind him of his own spring fever?? I finally stand upright again looking at the Oona one last time before nodding toward the direction I came from.
"There is someone I want to introduce you to." I say softly before turning and heading back out of the forest. Cagali quietly falls into place behind me trotting to keep pace with me. After a moment or two in the dark I see the glowing clover-hearts out of the corner of my eye, following after me just as silently. To pass the time I decide that it would be best to prepare the beautiful oona for his new owner. "Well, Mr. Oona, I'm glad I found you tonight, you see someone very close to me got sick recently and I knew he would be pretty disappointed if he missed out on the opportunity to explore for a beautiful pet like yourself. I know it isn't really a substitution for exploring himself but I thought that maybe I could at least get him something while he's down? I guess I should have asked before I just took his stuff though, and I'm not really sure if he will be mad about it later, but I hope you'll be able to cheer him up at least." I hadn't realized I started to slow down until Cagali nudges me with her head and I pick up pace again. The sky has started to lighten by the slightest bit since I started talking and I see the oona looking curiously at me so I continue.
"Anyway the boy I'm taking you to is really very sweet and I think you will enjoy his company a lot. Kyler has a lot of pets crawling around but he loves every single one with all his heart and even if he can't he'll be sure to make you feel comfortable and still have a place to stay while he tries to find a place that can give them what he doesn't think he can. He isn't concerned about markings or if you're 'pretty' or not but rather your character, how you interact and care for him just as he does you. Kyler will go to the edge and beyond for those he cares about and its one of the most touching things I've ever experienced." I feel the smile tug at the corners of my mouth as I talk. "Kyler has inspired me to be a better pet owner since before we actually got to know each other and he still does to this day." Before I can manage to gush about the boy in question much longer I see our houses in the light of dawn. I can almost feel the slight buzz off all the early bird pets who have just gotten up. As we approach, Dietrich appears at my side looking concerned and barking nervously nudging me and turning as if wanting me to follow. Brows scrunching, I place a hand on his neck to calm him and move to follow his lead. He leads me towards Kyler's house and seems to be urging me to hurry up. I had placed some of my pets in charge of checking up on Kyler from time to time in case I was doing something at home or busy with another pet, they were at his beck and call along with his own pets and were ready to come get me in case Kyler asked for me. Die was, of course, one of these pets and his behavior most likely meant that Kyler was up and that he asked Dietrich to fetch me for something or at least see if I was up. Though I don't think I'd ever seen the blue wild look so... nervous?
I step into his house with Dietrich leading me in, I smile at the pets that are strewn about the surfaces of his place, some of my own are mixed in with his, just sleeping on and suffocating each other with fur, tails, ears, paws, and for some horns or wings splaying over one another. Some of the pets are just waking up and they make small noises at me as I pass them. The oona follows me inside as well and seems to be looking about the place. Dietrich switches from foot to foot as he waits for me to stumble through the creature infested home and pushes into Kyler's bedroom the moment I manage to catch up to him. He starts to pace the room once I've pushed open the door to an empty bed. My eyes grow wide and an automatic panic sets in and I'm scrambling through his house checking every room that he could possibly be in. I don't manage to find my sick boyfriend but I do discover that his usual exploration backpack was gone. It was impossible to tell with all of his pets being spread out not only through the house but along the shared land that housed the much much bigger pets that couldn't always be inside without trouble, but I was pretty sure that at least one or two would be missing were I to do an extensive headcount. Kyler Ian McKenna had gone on an exploration even in his sickness, and he was going to be in a lot of trouble.
((OOC: This wasnt actually planned just fyi, Kyler was feeling sick when you opened up explorations and I offered to go on one for him with his items but then the butt went and wrote himself up one anyway...<3 ))
