---

Saeko has posed:
And she was...here. Saeko simply appeared, perched on the couch and once more in her foxy-form before coming to fold her arms under her bust. She'd been told she was welcome, perhaps she assumed the same was still true. Still, she lazily rests stretched out, sipping away at a small mug of what appears to be tea in her hand.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake happens to be sleeping on the couch, a heat pack on his shoulder. He's snoring slightly. On the television -something called The Gray Ghost is playing in glorious monochrome. Rasputin, lying on the rug in front of the sofa turns his head, notes the kitsune and picks himself up for scratches, being a spoiled, and murderous brat. the tigers ears lay down in abject worship. The big flirt. Thomas wakes up to see a tiger's belly, Ras deciding to sit up and crane over the man on the sofa to make scritches easier. Saeko's tea gets a sniff.

Saeko has posed:
A scritch offered, a little giggle comes from the kitsune and a little comfortable flick of her tails over the feline before one more of those tails oh-so-lazily brushes against Thomas' side and his cheek lightly.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake sputters at the sudden contact and upside down cab walks out from under the tiger and rolls off the tiger. Momentarily disturbed, Rasputin, in a show of feline disdain, climbs onto the sofa and curls up where Thomas was and next to Saeko. Thomas rubs his eyes and face to wake up and realized he has foxy company. He goes over to sit on the sofa arm next to Saeko snugging her and giving her a kiss on the cheek. He almost burns his nose on the tea.

Saeko has posed:
The kiss on the cheek and a giggle, she does at least 'drop' the tea, the cup disappearing from existance before she comes to return the little kiss, tilting her head to the side with a giggle. "I went out and ran into your Pixie last night," she offers before gently letting her tail brush his cheek lightly. "She's sweet, excitable."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake nods. "That sounds like my Pixie. I wanted to talk to you about something. I may have a problem This will require brushing at least five tails." He gets up to get a brush reserved for the kitsune from his days at the Griffin, and quickly returns. "We may be talking ear scratches too." He tickles one fox ear.

Saeko has posed:
"Tail brushings -and- ear scritches, it's been a while...so this -must- be serious." Saeko muses softly before gently turning, a little sigh while she brings her hands to rest under her chin while she stretches out, free access to her tails offered while she awaits him sharing what ever it is that had him so serious!

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake enjoys the view a moment, being merely flesh and blood and then begins brushing. He brushes one tail entirely before speaking. It's his favorite in fact -the one always giving him a caress. Then he sits on the edge next to her, massaging her shoulders. A tenko has a lot of responsibilities and stress!

"I've... missed this. I miss you." The strong fingers find any knots and make quick work of them... no make that slow careful work of them.

Saeko has posed:
A soft sigh of contentment, relaxation, comfort given to her though each of those nine tails that reach out. Still, her ears give a little flick, content and comfortable while one foot gently brushes against his side and she contently giggles. "I can't say I'm unhappy about this...and I'm sorry if you've felt neglected..."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake stops massaging and turns her around. "No I feel like I left you with... no one. But I have a problem with Pixie... I worry that she sees me as a... caregiver, a... more like a teacher or dad than a lover. I mean... we're moving slowly in that regard. I don't know if I scare her or what? I want to make it all right. But if I am scaring her, it may feel like I'm pressuring her? Am I making sense? Do humans make sense to you? Anyway... this is what is keeping me up nights."

Saeko has posed:
Tails being brushed, lounging on the couch, Saeko is in her foxy form, her true self, still listening to Thomas as he spoke before she chuckled lightly, shaking her head. "I'm immortal Thomas, and I've got plenty of time not to be lonely," she muses before brushing her tail across his cheek. "Scare her, or see you more as a..." she trails off, lifting a hand to her lips to stiffle a giggle before she reaches out to flick his nose.

"You're still a little bit of a fool Thomas Blake."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake flinches at having his nose flicked. "Hey... I never dated before! I just hooked up! ... so immortal and wise Saeko, your advice is to chill? Things will work out? Be patient?" Patience is hard at times. Except when hunting. "I wish she was here right now... no offense but I can use help with these tails. Number three is very naughty. It has a mind of its own. I brushed you already."

"So what'd you think of her when you met?"

Saeko has posed:
A laugh, Saeko shakes her head at that before clicking her tongue. "You want my advice on courting?" the Kitsune ponders before laughing lightly. "I'm a Tenko of Inari...I don't think it works the same. Of course, if you're really insisting I suppose -I- could try and romance your Pixie...See all the differences?" she murmers lightly, absently with a little twitch of those ears.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn isn't quite at the stage where she's permanently moved in, but she still seems to spend more time at the Blake house than at her own dorm at the mansion. And she's gotten into the bad habit of just..Popping right in, like now, a pink portal appearing in the+middle of the living room as she steps in. "Honey I'm hoooome!" she exclaims.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake holds his hands up. "Uuuuh. That's okay. I think we're good now. Really. I appreciate the concern but she's got enough on her plate right now..." Oh just in time! He gets up to meet Pixie, who finds herself in another lift your girlfriend off the rug in a hug and spin her around like you're a musclebound lunkhead.
Heome musclebound lunkheads are kind of appealing.

He follows up the hug with a kiss to make sure she's breathing, still holding her toes off the rug.

Saeko has posed:
Did Pixie hear Saeko offering to essentially seduce her, flirt with her? If there was a chance, she doesn't seem bothered by it. Instead the kitsune was simply there on the couch, lounging on her stomach and lifting a hand to wriggle her fingertips in a little gesture of a wave. Certainly she could appreciate simply appearing to visit...she'd literally done it herself.

"Hey there!"

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn apparently did not hear Saeko's suggestion, keeping in surprise as Thomas picks her up and twirls her around. "Oooh, are you as happy to see me as I am you?" she giggles, kissing him happily, although her toes wriggle a bit, still a few inches off the ground, "Umm, you can release me now."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake sets her down, slowly, and reluctantly. "Always. Maybe more so. Want to brush Saeko's tails with me? It's important to good human-kitsune elations. She's the one I told you about. If there's any good to me, you have her to thank." He waggles the brush in his hand. "Just watch out for tail number three... it's mischievous!"

Saeko has posed:
"So which one is number three then?" Saeko muses lightly as she moves to sit up, looking at the pair while she leans her hands against the couch edge. "Do you count from left to right, right to left or clock-wise?" she muses before gesturing to the space around the pair of them. "Of course, I can leave if the two of you want some space..."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles, steadying herself by grabbing his shoulders as he finally sets her down, "Ooh! is Saeko here? I bumped into her at the pub.." where she was bought a drink and her age for once wasn't questioned. so hah! she turns around and beams, spying her for the first time and comes over to greet her. "Ooh, hi! How you been? You have such cute tails, so what is this, some kitsune custom? do I need to use a brush or..?" really she's never brushed kitsune tails before.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake manages to tear his eyes off Pixie. "Counter-clockwise from the top. That one! The one with the black hairs at its tip." He points and the tail seems to duck." Who, me? "Here take this bush I get another. Just brush whatever presents itself. Root to tip." He goes to get another brush.

Returns quickly. "Uhm maybe when we finish here, Saeko can give us some time to catch up and then we can all go to Folksvangr for dinner. They have steaks of very interesting animals... and they stopped trying to card us." He gives Megs a nudge.

Saeko has posed:
A little laugh, she tilts her head to the side and lets herself stretch out with a little delighted sigh at the tail-brushings begining. "It's not a kitsune custom...but it is quite appreciated..." she purrs softly before closing her eyes and instead chuckling. "It was a habbit that Thomas started...at least for this century..."

Looking back up at Megan there's a little twitch of her ears at him. "It was nice to catch up next time."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles and nods, taking the brush, "Yeah we got some catchimg up to do.." she smiles thoughtfully at him as she settles on the sofa and proceeds to gently brush the tail in question. "Ooh, of course Thomas would come up with so,etching crazy like that.." she winks at him, nodding and smiling, "And Id love to go back to that Viking restaraunt." she smiles impishly at the hint.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
The newest resident in the pool house chooses this time to come inside with a cup of coffee in hand. Gabby pauses as she sleepily comprehends what's going on while taking a sip from the mug. She's still in her jammies which, thankfully, means a hugely oversized t-shirt and shorts. It was still warm out dangit.

A moment later though a pale haired woman with red eyes, completey identical to Gabby, steps in wearing... just about the same thing. A different t-shirt though. Bellona pauses to stand alongside Gabby who is now the same height as her older sister. "The hell is this, a salon?" she blurts out shaking her head with arms crossing.

Gabby elbows her sister lightly. "She means to say good morning. Good to see you again, Saeko! Morning Thomas, Megan."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake greets the newcomers with a stare. He makes a note to get Gabby a coffee maker. "Hello, Gabby. Hello Bellona... weren't you taller at one time. Megan, this is Gabby's sister Bellona. Bellona, this is my girlfriend, Megan. I believe you met Saeko back when you went by 'Crum...' okay. I won't say it! I was just suggesting we meet up for dinner. I'll show you the local restaurant we like. They're Mutant friendly." He drapes an arm around Pixie. "I just want to catch up with Megan first. It's been a couple days."

Saeko has posed:
That's...new. Saeko opens her eyes at that and tilts her head to the side. "This is..." she murmers softly before giggling lightly and pointing her fingers between Gabby and Bellona. "...Interesting..." A little folding o her hands as she's brushed, clearly quite a comfortable sensation for her.

Still she does give Gabby a little wave of her fingertips. "It's good to see you Gabby."

Mention around catching up, the Tenko giggles lightly, smirking to herself. "Oooh, I think we're getting politely told to leave Gabby...or at least I am."

Clicking her tongue and standing up, the tails move to flex. "I'll save my mischief for another night. Have fun."

Gabby Kinney has posed:
The response to Thomas from Bellona is a simple narrowing of her eyes and a quick, "Why you overgrown cat toy--" and a half-step forward which is blocked by Gabby stretching her arm out to stop her sister. Another sip of coffee is taken as she draws a breath. "Calm down, no antagonizing each other. You're just cranky because you're jet lagged. And *I* got taller, Thomas," she points out with a prompt sticking out of her tongue. "Yeah, they do need to catch up. We'll just head back to the pool house," she offers with a grin to the pair of apparent love birds.

Bellona grumbles but crosses her arms over her chest and glances away again. "I'm fine with leaving." Then she reaches over to take Gabby's coffee cup away to sip from it instead.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks slowly as she Gabby and yet another Wolverine clone. "Oh! Heya Gabby, nice to meet you Beloona."she kinda wonders just how many clones of Wolverine are out there anyway, but decides it might be rude to ask.

As Saeko seems ready to leave she blinks slowly, "Oh, it's okay, they don't have to leave do they, Thomas? We can always..Catch up, later.."

Thomas Blake has posed:
You can almost hear Thomas' ears perk up at tat tone Pixie uses. He looks over at Saeko and then back to Megan, "How did you brush all those... it takes me... " He shakes his head. "Bellona, welcome and shut up. You still can't take a little joke. You're welcome to come with us to dinner a little later. You can tell us all about burning Madripoor to the ground. Also... thanks for doing the laundry." Pointed reference there.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney yawns widely as she turns to head for the kitchen. "Gonna steal some toast," she explains. "Still have to stock the fridge in the pool house. You want some, Megan? Otherwise I'll just get enough to keep Bellona from being hangry."

Bellona on her part doesn't argue that one bit. She just grunts, and gives a nod toward Megan at her greeting. And she's left standing there awkwardly after shooting a silent glare to Thomas.
