A Long Time Since

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer sighed as she waited for the ship to land. Morrouw mewed softly from her arms while Kitssarri waited beside her. The midwife Jowarr waited a little bit off from the trio but watched them for a bit.

(So I'm finally going home for a little awhile, why am I so nervous then?)

Her eyes looked up at Kit before she leaned on him slightly. She could feel a little of nervousness from him as well but then again, they weren't just going home, the pair had gotten quite close and Seer intended on telling her mother about it. Purring softly as she looked up at Kitssarri, she hoped this would all go over well.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

The large ship touched down easily, like a feather falling gently from the sky. Quite a large feather, mind you. Steam began to blow from several ports around the landing gear, the ship already prepping for flight once more.

To his left stood his new life - Seer and Morrouw. It wasn't that long ago the he was only her manservant and nothing more then that. But it was her who helped him escape from his shell, letting him off the leash so to speak. She had allowed him to return to the sport he so dearly loved - pod racing - and had even given him a new racer. What Seer hadn't realized though, was how much the sport mean't to him, and what she coudln't anticipate was how his self confidance returned with the ability to do what he loved. Kitssarri was an entirely new person. He didn't feel as he should have to be perfect, he didn't frown on little mistakes that he made as complete failures. Kitssarri could see now that he was accepted as he was, and then some apprently, which was why he was in the situation that he was now in. And loving every minute of it. And he owed it all to her.

Turning to his left, he quickly grabbed her hand, giving it a quick squeeze, before he was off examining the ship, making sure everything would be good and safe for their flight. He noted a few minor things with the ship, mostly cosmetic damage, but some structural, and off he went to talk to the head technician.

"Landjing gearrr 3 and 8 arrre gojing to need rrrreplacement......"

Kitssarri continued speaking, pointing out what was wrong, not paying attention to his words. He was in another world. A world where it was only him and Seer and Morruw, off in a field playing somewhere, not a care in the world. The Cizerack sighed at that thought, perhaps a little too loudly, as the technician gave hima funnny look. Kitssarri finished up his report and headed back to Seer.

"That sssshould do jit. Few mjinorrr thjingsss that need rrreplacjing and we ssshould be off ssshorrrrtljy."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer smiled at him before she watched him walk away to talk to the technician. (And to think a few months ago, I was still pining for Cirrsseeto when I had Kitssarri there beside me the whole time. Why didn't I come to my senses and let him in earlier?) She thought as she watched him, Kitssarri had her heart and she didn't ever want a life without him.

jit ssseemsss jyou've found a good one, Ssseerrrrrra-a voice said behind her, it was Jowarr.

Seer nodded. jyesss, but jI ssstjill worrrrrrjy what mjy motherrr wjill have to sssajy about jit-Seer

Doesssn't rrrealljy matterrr, besssjidesss ssshe would want jyou to be happjy-Jowarr

jI know but ssstjill mjy worrrrrrjiesss arrre therrre dessspjite that-Seer

Well jI wouldn't worrrrrrjy, jyou love hjim and that'sss all that rrrealljy matterrrsss-Jowarr

Seer smiles and nods again Whateverrr mjy motherrr thjinksss won't stop me frrrom feeljing the wajy jI do-Seer

Jowarr looked as though she was going to continue but then Kitssarri had returned and she knew Seer's attention would be on him.

"That sssshould do jit. Few mjinorrr thjingsss that need rrreplacjing and we ssshould be off ssshorrrrtljy."

Seer purred softly and smiled. Good to hearrr.....Ssso arrre jyou nerrrvousss about gojing to sssee mjy motherrrr and the rrressst of mjy famjiljy?

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

"Am ki nerrr voussss? that jisss an underrrrssstatement. The lassst tjime that ji sssaw jyourrrr motherrrr, ji was onljy therrre forrr a sssecond, and cirrrcumssstancesss werrre much differrrent at the tjime."

A few steps closer, and he was standing besider her again. His arm slinked around her waist, holding her close.

"But Ji am not worrrrrjied about jit. Jussst nerrrvousss. Therrre jisss a differrrence."

All around them, technicians worked like ants, trying to complete the repairs on the landing struts so that they could deart as soon as possible. Amongst all the commotion, one little sound could be heard, the sound of a cub cewing in his mother's arms. Kitssarri turned his head slightly, looking down at the small cub. He leanded down and kissed his forehead lightly.

"Ssssooon, sssoon we'll be on ourrr wajy and jyou'll sssee jyour grrrandmotherrr agajin."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer couldn't help but smile at that, it was good to see him get along with her son.

Actualljy he wasssn't awake the lassst tjime mjy motherrr called.....and jit'sss good that jyou'rrre not worrrrrjied, jI'm prrrettjy sssurrre that mjy motherrr wjill be happjy about thjisss.....

She said quietly as she leaned on him a little, purring softly.

although, jI have no clue about how mjy fatherrr wjill take jit......hopefulljy good asss well.......

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

The thought of her father hadn't even entered into his mind, with how the culture of the Cizerack worked. But at the mention of him, Kitssarri couldn't help but feel a bit squeemish. The butterflies in his tummy had taken flight once again.

"Jyeah........hopefulljy...."

His voice trailed off, as he began to ponder the countless possibilities as to what could happen when they arrived. Most of them weren't good, but they were probably al chalked up to being nervous and unsure of how they would react. Or so he hoped.

In an attempt to get his mind off things, Kitssarri decided he would check out how the repairs were doing, and when they would be completed. He turned to Seer and kissed her cheek lightly.

"Ji am gojing to check on the worrrkerrrs and the rrrepajirssss. Ji wjill rrreturrn jin a moment. Whjy don't jyou boarrrd, JI cannot jimagjine that jit wjill be much longerrrr. Jit jis fajirljy rrroutjine worrrk."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer's tail swept over Kit's back to get his mind off of things for a moment since she sensed he was nervous again.

All rrrjight, jI'll sssee jyou jin a few mjinutesss.....

She said quietly before kissing him briefly and smiling as she pulled away to put him at ease a little more before heading towards the ship's ramp with Jowarr following behind her.

A short while later, Seer walks into her quarters while Jowarr stops at the door.

Well jI fjind a rrroom nearrrbjy sssjince the thrrree of jyou need tjime alone but call me overrr jif jyou need help wjith Morrrrrrouw-Jowarr

All rrrjight, sssee jyou jin a bjit-Seer said before laying down on the bed after Jowarr left. Morrouw mewled from her arms so she hummed an old Cizerack tune to help quiet him. As usual, that did the trick as the cub drifted off to sleep while Seer continued humming quietly and her tail twitched behind her.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

The landing gear was spread out under the ship, two sets in the front and 3 in the back. The two on both sides of the ship were the ones that were being worked on. From the looks of things the port landing gear was repaired, as there was only one mechanic present and he was packing up his equipement.

That left the other side. Kitssarri made his way over to check on the team working on the strut. The casing was open, but the strut was not in place. A part had broken off of the old and was jammed in it's socket. As a result they coudln't get the new one in place. Kitssarri moved in closer to examine the problem.

A short while later from inside the craft, a loud bang could be heard just about the same time that Kitssarri entered the craft as the technicans closed up the landing gear.

Kitssarri looked down at himself, and frowned for no longer was his uniform neatly pressed and clean. Now his tunic was grease marks all over it.

Figures something like this would happen to me. And of all days for it to happen...........

he made his way through the ship, until he met Jowarr in the hall. She quickly directed him into the direction of Seers room. He silently entered the room.

"Well that jisss jit. We wjill be takjing off jin a mjinute"

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Good to hearrr.....

Seer said quietly, purring softly then made a "come here" gesture with her tail. Morrouw slept soundly in her arms but she knew Kit would be quiet enough to not wake him up and besides she felt like having Kitssarri close.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

Returning her smile, Kitssarri made his way over to where she sat. As he moved through the room, he made brushing guestures over his tunic, trying to get them as clean as could be. He hated when he didn't look his best when he had something important to do. When he was working on his pod racer, that didn't matter, but this...this was a different story all together.

"Therrre wasss a prrrroblem and Ji offerrred to fjx jit. Ji know a few trrrrjickssss jyou know. And now look at me"

He made a guesture, pointing to his tunic and it's filth.

"Ji hope that thjisss doesss not affect jyourrr parrrent'sss attjitdue about me. But had ji not done anjythjing we would be herrrre forrr anotherrr hourrr."

Kitssarri stopped talking for a second to look at her, into her face and smile into her eyes.

"Hji"

Taking only a quick second, Kitssarri leaned in and kissed her softly.

"Ssso that'sss the ssstorjy."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer leaned in and kissed him once more quicky before leaning her head on his shoulder.

jIt'll be all rrrjight, mjy parrrentsss wouldn't judge jyou bjy the condjitjion of jyourrr clothesss besssjidesss jyou werrre bejing helpful at the tjime ssso jit'll be fjine.......

She looked up at him with her sky blue eyes and smiled while purring softly.

At anjy rrrate, jI wouldn't let them thjink badljy of jyou, dearrr.....ssso don't worrrrrjy about jit......

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

"That makesss me happjy to hearrrr jyou ssajy that. Ji am ssstjill nerrrvousss though. Ji alwajysss ljike to make a good jimprrresssjion, and mjy appearrrance rrrrjight now jisn't helpjing matterrrrsss anjy."

He leaned in close to her, kissing her cheek softly, before leaning down and kissing the sleeping cub. Morrouw was fast asleep, purring softly. He stirred slightly as Kitssarri pulled away. Kitssarri could only smile as the young cub slept. The cub and his mother, quite a pair, and it seemed as if Kitssarri would be joining this pair.

There was a rumbling noise and the ship began to shake lightly. Kitssarri leaned to look out the window and could see that they were lifting off.

"Nothjing to worrrrjy about. Jit ssseems that we'rrre takjing off"

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer leaned over and bit Kitssarri's ear lightly as he looked away to distract him from his thoughts although still remaining careful not to wake Morrouw by moving too quickly. Once she had his attention again, she ran her fingers lightly through his hair while looking into his eyes.

Mjy motherrr ownsss a parrrtsss companjy rrrememberrr? The fact that jyou worrrk well wjith ssshjipsss would be a good qualjitjy to herrr ssso a ljittle bjit of djirrrt and grrrjime won't be held agajinssst jyou.......

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

"Let'sss jussst hope that jissss trrrue."

Kitssarri leaned closer to her, motioning towards Morrouw. He held out his arms and spoke softly, in a tender voice.

"Majy Ji hold hjim?"

He looked up towards her slowly, a fatherly look upon his face.

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer smiled and purred, it was good that he showed an interest in Morrouw.

jI guessssss ssso but be carrreful wjith hjisss head.....

She said quietly as she handed Morrouw over, positioning the cub correctly for Kitssarri. Once done, she leaned her head on Kit's shoulder again, purring softly.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

He picked up the small cub gently, taking him from his mothers arms. Kitssarri couldn't beleive how small he was. The cub hardly took up any room in his arms and waeighed practically nothing. Kitssarri was sure Seer didnt' see it like that when she was giving birth to him, mind you.

IN his arms, the small feline stirred, and opened his mouth big as a yawn escaped him. His eyes, still filled with sleep, opened only for a second, before closing slowly, succombing to sleep once more. Kitssarri smiled, and put his index finger close to the hand of the sleeping child. Immediately, Morrouw wrapped his hand around Kitssrri's finger, grasping it lightly.

A fatherly look emerging in Kitssarri's eyes, he smiled down at the small cub who slept with not a worry in the world. Kit turned to face Seer, smiling at her.

"looksss ljike sssomeone wjill be sssleepjing forrr a whjile."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer smiled as she watched them then reached forward and ran her fingers through Morrouw's hair softly. The cub purred in response and snuggled in closer to Kitssarri.

He alwajysss doesss and jI thjink jyou'll make a good fatherrr one of thesse dajysss, dearrr....

Seer smiled before kissing Kitssarri softly then looked back at Morrouw who still slept soundly in Kit's arms.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

"Jyesss, ssssomedajy, Ji thjink ssso"

As he finished speaking ,the ship lurched forward. Kitssarri guessed that they were just entering hyperspace, and those thoughts were later confirmed when the pilot's voice rang out over the intercom system.

We've jussst enterrred hjypperrrssspace, in casssse jyou werrrre wonderrrjing what that bump wassss. We ssshould be arrrrjivjing in a couple of hourrrsss,sso make jyourrrssselvesss coomforrrtable

"Well Ji guessss jit won't be long now. Nerrrvousss at all?"

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer's eyes drifted down to Morrouw to see if the lurch had woken him but it hadn't, the cub still slept soundly, snoring a little but he showed no signs of it.

Of courrrssse jI'm nerrrvousss but jI'll be all rrrjight, jyou?

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

His head turned to face hers, he didn't answer though, letting the look on his face do all the talking for him. It was clear to anyone that he was definately nervous. The butterflies had taken flight in the pit of his stomach, and they woudln't be settling down for a long time, probably not until next week.

Slowly, he handed abck the cub to his mother, a large smile on his lips the whole time. it had been the first time that he'd held that young cub and he liked the feeling. It was definately something else that he could get used to.

"Herrre jyou take hjim, Ji am gojing to ssseee jif ji have left anjy clothesss herrre, that ji mjight be able to change jinto."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer took back her son then looked into Kit's eyes, she could see he seemed to be far more nervous than she was. She kissed Kitssarri softly a few times before smiling.

jI'm sssurrre that thjingsss wjill go well.......

She said quietly before she laid back down on the bed again, very quietly humming the old Cizerack tune for Morrouw.

OOC: *bump* be back tomorrow night.......

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

He stood there for a moment, looking down upon the mother and her cub. He'd said it before, and he'd say it again. They were quite a sight. The mother, holding her child, rocking him to sleep as she sang to him. The son, sleeping peacefully, not a care in the world. Kitssarri could only smile at the sight of them. He counted himself lucky to be in their presence.

After a moment, Kitssarri turned and walked over to the lockers which were in the room. He opened the first, finding nothing in it, save for a few tools. He hoped he would have more luck with the others. The second opened, the door creaking softly as it moved. Inside hung a sweater.

"Ji knew Ji put one jin herrrre. Jussst had to fjind jit!"

He spoke softly as he didn't want to wake Morrouw, but the excitement was there in his voice. No longer would he worry about his messy uniform and the upcoming meeting with Seer's family.

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

good to hearrr, one lessssss to worrrrrjy about, jI hope we get therrre sssoon, all thjisss wajitjing jisss kjilljing me......

She smiled at Kit since he seemed to be happy about finding something to cover the grease stains, Seer liked to see him look happy, it always made her smile too. Above all she hoped this all went well since things would be better if her parents liked him, she loved Kitssarri far too much to let her parents' opinion get to her though.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

"Kjilljing jyou? Jit'ssss wrrrackjing mjy nerrrvesss and mjy brrrajin! Mjy tummjy jisss dojing backfljipssss!"

He pulled the sweater on, his head poking through the neck. The static electricity from the sweater was already playing with his hair, making it stand on end. With a swift tug, Kitssarri pulled it on the rest of the way.

"But jit wjill be all overrrrr ssssoon. "

He made his way back over to where she sat on the bed, smoothing out his sweater as he walked.

"Sssso tell me a bjit about jyourrr fatherrrr. Ji have neverrr met hjim, not even whjile underrr the serrrvjice of jyourrr motherrrrr."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Neverrr? Odd, well mjy fatherrr jisss a prrrettjy easssjy gojing gujy, he lovesss my motherrr, mjyssself and mjy brrrotherrr morrre than anjythjing......he would do anjythjing forrr usss.......

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

Listening intently, a smile on his face, Kitssarri thought about all the possible scenarios that could possibly happen when they arrived. Of course they were all exagerated and ninety percent of them woudln't happen, he coudln't help but wonder.

When she had finished speaking, Kitssarri sat down beside her once again, and just looked at her. He didn't say anything, but just looked into her eyes, getting lost in their beauty.

The moment was interrupted though, when the ship shuddered and a loud whining noise echoed from the back section of the ship. They were coming out of hyperspace and that mean't one thing. The time of meeting her parents for the first time was close at hand. Kitssarri's heart rate picked up a little bit, fluttering with many different emotions.

He looked past Seer and out the window, the planet in view with many ships in orbit or leaving orbit. It woudln't be long now. Not long at all.

"Ssso wherrre arrre we meetjing them todajy?"

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer smiled then looked off in the direction he was. Sitting up, she hugged him before speaking.

Thejy'll be wajitjing at the landjing sssjite.....

She briefly ran her fingers through Kit's hair before leaning her head on his shoulder. She knew her father would know before she told them, he didn't have the nickname of ubertracker for nothing, still she also knew her father would keep quiet but her brother was a different matter. Ah well at any rate, her mother would hear it whether it be from her or other sources but it all still made her nervous as she hugged Kit again, mostly for her comfort but for his as well.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

The embrace did a lot to make him feel more at ease and comfortable. But then again, he always felt that way when he was in her arms. When she pulled away though, his thoughts began to return to the whole purpose of this trip. And with that being said, the same feelings of nerviousness retunred as well.

"At the landjing sssite? Who jisss all gjoing to be therrrre?"

He leaned over and gently picked up the sleeping babe, gently cradling him in his arms. He figured he'd hold him for a minute or two so that Seer could get up and stretch and prepare herself for the meeting.

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer had her eyes shut until she pulled away, being with Kit always comforted her. She then smiled at Kitssarri and Morrouw, her son was still asleep and snuggling in close.

Not sssurrre exactljy, mjy motherrr and fatherrr wjill be but jI don't know about mjy brrrotherrr..........

She grimaced slightly thinking about her brother who never thought before he did things, he would most likely blurt out it when he noticed Kit's scent on her or tackle while she was holding Morrouw. Tokarrarri had never really grown up so he still attacked with that greeting. (Well hopefully, he'll think before he acts or he'll have the wrath of dad on him.)

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

The ship moved slowly though orbit, patiently waiting for it's turn to enter the atmosphere and land. The captain's voice rang out through the ship, via the internal comm system, indicating that they had received permission to land. The Cizerack ship began to creep ahead slowly, entering the atmosphere at a deliate pace.

Kitssarri moved to take a seat besude Seer., strapping himself in. Entering the atmosphere of a planet was always a bumpy ride, even for the most experienced of travellers. And with Morrouw in his arms, he didn't want to chance anything.

Kitssarri turned his head to look at her, speaking in a soft voice.

"Jyou have neverrrr rrrealljy sssspoken about jyourrr brrrotherrr beforrre..."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer grimaced again before she looked into Kit's eyes.

Djidn't want to rrrealljy, mjy brrrotherrr can be qujite annojyjing at tjimesss, we djid nothjing but fjight all the tjime......

She said quietly before looking out the window.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

Fighting among siblings? It was the oldest of tales. Kitssarri was going to mention something to her about that, but there was something in her voice that indicated it was something further then typical sibling rivalry.

He held Morrouw in his one arm, but with his other, he gently carressed her cheek. He wanted to let her know that it was ok and he was there for her, and she didn't need to continue speaking about it if she didn't want to. If she did though, he would always be there to listen.

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer purred softly as she closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them again, she saw Kit's usual look of concern and understanding shining in his eyes. She smiled since he had a way of making her feel better everytime. Still she worried about her brother, she really didn't want him to just blurt it out, she wanted to tell her parents on her own terms. When she would do that though was also weighing heavily on her mind, when would be the right time to say it? At any rate, she was happy she wasn't alone, Kit would be by her side whenever that was which would help ease her nervousness somewhat.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

The ship picked up some speed, but as it did so, it shook a little more violently as it passed through the atmosphere of the planet. Kitssarri looked past Seer and out the window, the dinstinct red glowing around the shields from the friction caused an eery glow. He knew not to worry abou tit.

One more the time ship shook, and then nothing. Everything returned to normal, smooth sailing as they say. Kitssarri looked out the window one more time, but this time the red glow was not thedre. Now the window was filled with clouds and the sun's light radiating between them.

The time which Kitssarri held like a security blanket was slowly dwindling away. Remaining now was only mere threads of what was one a thick blanket. Kitssarri looked at his counterpart, and smiled somewhat nervously. In the end though, he knew it would be lright. There wasn't anything they couldn't handle together.

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer smiles back before she puts her hand in his. She knew he was nervous again but she was just as nervous about what was soon to happen...besides it wasn't everyday that a Cizerack would tell of that and it wasn't easy either. Despite that, even though she was worried, she knew things would turn out all right, her parents loved her dearly and would want her to be happy.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

Even though they had not spoken to each other in the last couple of minutes, there was no uneasiness in the room, no weird uncomfortable air in the room. They had progressed beyond such things, and moved to the next level. That was one way that Kitssarri knew that they had something special. One of the many ways.

Her hand was so small compared to his, but it fit nicely in his large mitt. He held on to it lightly, his thumb brushing lighlty over the outside of her hand. Her skin was so smooth, he loved to touch it, loved to be arond her, loved that he had this chance to be with her. He felt that he was one lucky Cizerack.

THe large cizerack ship finally touched downo nthe landing pad, not only signaling an end to their journey, but the beginning of the next phase of their life. Every new beginning comes from other beginning's end, he thought.

Kitssarri looked at his beautiful companion, leaning in close to her. Her smell was already driving him wild as always. The Cizerack male softly kissed her cheek, letting the kiss linger befor efinally pulling away slowly.

"Well, herrrre we go, Ji guessssss."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer purred softly through it all, she loved his touch, the look in his eyes and him in general. He was definitely one she could see spending the rest of her life with. Things had definitely turned for the better since he had come into her life. As he pulled away, she leaned in and licked his neck quickly before she pulled away. She smirked at the look on his face before getting up.

Let'sss go then......

[The Tsseerras]

Outside the ship, a male and female Cizerack waited. The male was a dark brown and he waited with an impatient look in his eyes. The female was a light tan and calmer, there was no hurry but she knew her mate wanted to see his daughter again. She reached forward and ran her fingers through his hair before she spoke.

Calm down, Rrrokeerrrrrra, ssshe'll be herrre sssoon-she said

jI know, Rrraerrrr-Rokeerra looked around briefly Wherrre djid that bojy of ourrrsss go now? jI'll hurrrt hjim jif he plansss on pouncjing on hjisss sssjisssterrr agajin.....

Well jI'll help jyou jif he doesss, Tokarrrrrrarrrrrji needsss to learrrn to act hjisss age-Raeerrarri said as she too looked around while they waited for the ramp of the ship to go down.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

Kitssarri rose out of his seat slowly, stretching his muscles. He then held his hand out, helping Seer to her feet in true gentleman fashion.

Through the window, her parents could be seen standing outside of the ship. From Kitssarri's vantage point, it seemed that her father was nervous as well, he kept looking from side to side. Kitssarri felt a little better seeing that.

Moving towards the door, Kitssarri activated a switch the door responding by swishing open.

"afterrr jyou mjy dearrr."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer smiled at him for the millionth time that day. Looking down at Morrouw, she gently took him for Kit's arms, trying not to wake the sleeping cub.

jI ssshould hold hjim forrr now, jit'sss bessst to let mjy motherrr know a ljittle bjit laterrr jinstead of rrrjight awajy. Mjy fatherrr wjill know jimmedjiateljy but he handlesss newsss betterrr than mjy motherrr.

Seer smiled at Kitssarri again before her tail run lightly over his back.

Rrreadjy?

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

"Asss rrreadjy asss Ji wjill everrr be Ji sssuppossse."

He moved out of the way of the door, letting Seer pass him. Once she had done so, he followed her, a nervous smile on his lips, as they moved through the halls of the ship, until they came to the outer door.

And the fun starts....

They opend the door up and walked out of the craft, and towards her awaiting parents.

[The Tsseerras]

Rokeerra's ears perked up as he heard the door opening. His eyes swept over his daughter and his grandson before he looked up at Kit. Rokeerra's attention was only drawn over though because of the shine from Kit's teeth as he smiled nervously. (why is he so nervous?) Rokeerra wondered, his mate however was already checking out the new cub. His eyes flitted over to her before he greeted his daughter and hugged her. His ears rose slightly as he did so, Seer smelled strongly of the other male. He smiled before he looked momentarily at Kitssarri before returning his attention to his daughter. Most fathers would be slightly angry at what he had smelled but he knew how his daughter was besides he could see Kit watching them both nervously so it had to be more than just what it normally was in Cizerack society. Not far off, Raeerreei was checking out the cub.

He'sss adorrrable, Ssseerrrrrra-Raarr

Seer who had finally gotten loose of her father's grip smiled before she answered jyesss, he jissss-Seer

Have a good trrrjip?-Rokeerra asked while smiling knowingly

Seer nodded before suddenly getting a surprise bear-hug from her brother ouch, Tokarrrrrarrrrrji, let go-she somewhat whimpered.

Her twin brother smirked, looking like a younger copy of his sire. What? jI'm jussst trrryjing to hug mjy sssjissterrr......-Tokarrarri smirked, hugging her tightly once more before letting go only to get pulled back sharply by his father who growled lowly.

Seer winced well thanksss then, jI feel ssso loved-Seer

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

There was a real sense of family here, Kitssarri thought. Maybe this would go much easier then he'd anticipated. He breathed a small sigh of releif at that thought.


jI feel ssso loved.............

Her words echoed in his head, a different meaning though to him, then what her family would think of.

Yes I feel loved too.

He took a step forward, ready to adress her parents for this first time in this new capacity.

"Madam, jit hasss been a long tjime."

He bowed slightly to her, before moving to her father, and extending his hand to him.

"Sssjirrr, Ji do not belejive that we have met. Ji am Kjitsssssarrrrrji."

Kitssarri held his hand firm, shaking the man's hand in such a way that it showed him respedt.

[The Tsseerras]

Raerr nodded but said nothing since she didn't think it was required for the moment besides she was still checking out her grandson.

Rokeerra shook Kitssarri's hand back, all the while judging him a little by the handshake but he smiled when he found it to be a good strong handshake. Rrrokeerrrrrra, jI wasss busssjy wjith otherrr thjingsss the lassst tjime jyou werrre herrre.....

In truth, her father had been sent over to watch the company a bit while her mother decided on Kitssarri those many months ago.

Have jyou been takjing good carrre of mjy daughterrrr?-Rokeerra asked and smirked since that was a double question given what he knew.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

Kitssarri smiled and blushed a little at the question posed to her by her father. He hadn't expected her father to be quite that blunt. He guessed it could be taken as a good sign.

He began to stammer as he responded to his question, but he caught himself.

"Ji Ji...Jyesss Ji am sssjirrr. When jyou love sssomethjing ssso much, jyou do whateverrr jisss necesssarrrrjy to take carrre of herrr."

He smiled and glanced in the difection of Seer.

"And ssshe jissss sssomeone verrrjy ssspecjial to me, and Ji plan on takjing verrrjy good carrre of herrrr forrrrr qujite a whjile."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer shot an ack look at her father before looking at her mother who was raising an eyebrow and both ears.

Ssseerrrrrrra, jisss he sssajyjing what jI thjink he meansss?-Raeer

Rokeerra smirked like the bird who ate the canary as Seer's brother looked back and forth between her and Kitssarri.

Seer nodded as she leaned against Kitssarri. jyesss he doesss and jI carrre about hjim a lot-Seer watched her mother carefully,waiting for the blowup or happy gesture.

She didn't have long to wait before her mother smiled and hugged the both of them since they were close. Well jI djidn't expect thjisss kjind of newsss but jit'sss good newsss all the sssame. Hmmm, looksss ljike jI majy get a grrranddaughterrr sssoonerrr than jI thought-Raeer

Not asss farrr asss jI know of, motherrr, but sssomedajy mossst ljikeljy-Seer said somewhat nervously back (What is it be blunt as hell day today?) She thought (Well at least they're taking it well) Seer looked up at Kitssarri, her tail sweeping softly over his back, wondering why her father couldn't stand to stay quiet this one time. At any rate, the news was out and she didn't have to worry over when to tell anymore.

Tokarrarri was still looking back and forth between them with a dimwitted look on his face, apparentally he hadn't expected such news either.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

The cat was let out of the bag, so to speak. There was a moment of silence, tension hanging in the air, until her father spoke again. Upon hearing his voice, Kitssarri knew that things would be OK. And that was a great feeling, the weight of the world lifted from Kitssarri's shoulders.

Her family continued speaking, but Kitssarri didn't hear everything that was being said. He was so elated that things went well and that he would be accepted as not only a manservant now, but her mate as well.

Having felt a need to hold Seer, Kitssarri stepped closer to her, wrapping a large arm around her waist, holding her body close to his, smiling happily all the while. He was so happy right now, that he didn't hear the grand child comments made by her mother.

"Sssso that jisss the rrreassson forrr ourrr trrrrjip. Now jyou know the whole sssstorrrjy."

Kitssarri turned his attention to her mother.

"And Ji have jyou to thank forrr everjythjing."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer breathed a sigh of relief, all seemed to be going well, her parents seemed to have no problem with it. She smiled up at Kitssarri, purring softly. They had accepted him as her mate and not just her manservant, she smiled widely at this.

Seer's mother and father both looked at them before her mother spoke.

jI had a feeljing jit wasssn't jussst a vjissssjit sssjince Ssseerrrrrrrr ljikesss to get away a lot but jyourrr welcome, jI hope jyou make herrr verrrjy happjy...........

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

"Sssso do Ji. Ji plan on dojing all that JI can to ensssurrrre that Ji do."

Kitssarri coudln't get over the look on the face of her brother. He didn't know what to make of the situation, and that kinda worried Kitssarri. He hoped that her brother woudln't do anything stupid.

"Parrrrdon the pun, but now that the cat jisss out of the bag, what djid we have planned forrr todajy?"

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Well nothjing rrrrealljy, Rrrokeerrrrrra and jI djidn't have anjythjing planned, jyourrr call kjind of caught usss of guarrrd-Raeer said before glancing at Rokeerra who had just shook Tokarrarri a little to snap him out of it.

Tokarrarri still looked a bit taken back but he stayed quiet, he still couldn't get used to the fact that his sister had a son let alone a mate. He of course had a mistress of his own but still this was his sister with a mate now, an idea that he knew would happen but it still seemed weird to him. Rokeerra still eyed his son, hoping that he wasn't coming up with a prank for his sister.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

"Well let ussss get out of herrre anjywajys. No ssssenssse hangjing arrround a hangarrrr bajy all dajy. Plusss ji am sssurrre that jyou want to sssee morrruw jin sssome otherrr atmossspherrre then herrre."


He glanced over at the small cub, still fast asleep with a cute little smile on his face.

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Raeer smiled briefly, it was true she would rather see her grandson somewhere other than the hanger bay. Her tail briefly swept over her mate's back before she answered.

Well we ssshould get back home at the verrrjy leassst-Raeer

Fjine bjy me-Seer said quietly as her tail wrapped around Kitssarri's.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

In the back of the hangar bay, Kitssarri could see a hover car. What looked to be an expensive one at that. The group starting walking in the direction of the car, all of them seemed to be smiling. The recent turn of events had caught them off guard, but it wasn't a disappointment. In fact they seemed to be happy for the new couple. For that Kitssarri was thankful and felt lucky to be where he was, and more importantly with Seer.

They entered the car, and they began to speed off in the direction of home. Kitssarri was anxious to get there, for it had been a long while since he'd been to their home. PLus the day was going so well so far, he was anxious to continue it.

In the back of the car, Seer and Kitssarri sat beside each other, cuddling, and holding each other's hands. Kitssarri leaned in close to her ear, kissed it softly before whispering just as softly to her.

"Ji love jyou."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer purred softly at that.

jI love jyou too, Kjitssssssarrrrrrrji.

She whispered before nibbling lightly at his ear, not caring that her parents were watching, she loved her mate and was going to show that when she wanted.

Tokarrarri watched out the window, listening quietly, all this was making him long for his own mate meanwhile Seer's mother still held Morrouw for her. Jowarr was also paying not much attention since she was used to Kit and Seer's antics. Seer's mother smiled at them, watching out of the corner of her eye, it was good to see her daughter finally happy and it seemed Kitssarri loved Seer dearly which was also a very good thing. She had hoped the pair would get along but seeing them in love was far more than she had expected.

Rokeerra watched out the corner of his eye as well, smiling at the fact that his daughter was happy. After Kirreeta, he had begun to wonder if his mate could choose a suitable male to watch over their daughter. Rokeerra had always know Kirreeta had not been right but his mate had insisted all was well. It took Kirreeta finally trying to attack Seer to make Raeer understand the male was dangerous. But with Kitssarri, he got a good feeling, the male's affection for his daughter was obvious in everything he did. Seeing his daughter this happy made him smile before he spoke to Raeer.

Ssshe ssseemsss rrrealljy happjy doesssn't ssshe, Rrraeerrr?-Rokeerra

Seer's mother nodded. Looksss ljike thejy'll be ljike usss-Raerr smiled before her tail wrapped around Rokeerra's.

Rokeerra smiled and nodded before falling silent again as his arm went around his mate's waist.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

The car moved through the city, the family comfortably inside. Other ships and vehicules sped past, not a care in the world to the Cizerack car. On the other side of that coin however was Kitssarri, not a care in the world to anything outside of the hover car. His attention was focused on that of Seerrasseei.

Her face was beautiful, her hair long and soft. She was smooth to the touch, she smelt wonderful, had a great figure, but that wasn't what had first drawn him to her. No, it was her eyes. They were so beautiful and captivating. It was easy for him to sit and look into them all day. Cizerack eyes were all blue, but there was soemthing different about hers. Sure they were blue, but it was the color that set them apart. The bright blue was a color that Kitssarri had not seen before. It was a color that complimented her perfectly and made her that much more beautiful. They fit her personality as well, since her being different from most was another reason that Kitssarri had fallen for her.

She smiled at him, as if to say what are you looking at. Kitssarri gave his head a quick shake and came back to the real world. Instead of responding to her, he leaned in close to her and kissed the corner of her lips softly before pulling away and smiling happily at her.

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer purred happily as she smiled back at him. There was just something about Kitssarri that kept a constant smile on her face. Her tail looped around his before she hugged Kitssarri then leaned her head on his shoulder, looking up at him, purring softly.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

From the front of the car, a voice of the driver could be heard.

Gojing to be about anothearrr 15 mjins or ssso, beforrre we arrrrrrjive...

The comment barely registered with Kitssarri. His mind was off somewhere else, a million miles away. As far as he was concerened the only people present right now were him and Seer. She was leaning close to him, her head on his shoulder. Kitssarri turned his head so that he was somewhat looking at her. Completely oblivious to everyone else, Kitssarri began to sing in a soft voice, only for her

"Lajyjing jin the summerjrr grrrass
JYou told me not to talk ssso fassst
Asss JI told you, how JI feel
JYou made me feel rrjright at home
JYou told me JI was not alone
And jyou knew
Jussst how JI feel
JI know we talked about jit
JI jussst can't get arrround, and
JI just want one morrre njight with jyou

JI, JI wanna fall jin love
Tonjight
And JI remember when jyou sssajid
Everrrjythjing jisss gonna be alrrrjight"

He paused briefly and kissed her head gently. The sound of his purring was loud enough for only her to hear.

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer purred softly through it all. When he was done, she kissed his neck softly then licked it quickly before she looked up at him again.

That wassss a beautjiful sssong, dearrrr.......

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

The only response that Kitssarri could give, was to put his finger under her chin, lifting it slightly. Not enough that she was straining, only enough so that he could kiss her lips softly. He let the kiss linger for a good many seconds before pulling away, and smiling at her.

"Jyou arrre ssso beautjiful."

Reluctantly, he turned and faced the rest of the people in the car. He didn't want to be rude, or disrespectful to them, so he decided it would be best not to ignore them any longer.

"How arrre thjingsss wjith the busssjinessssss?"

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer smiled happily but stayed quiet, just watching him quietly.

Seer's mother looked over as though she hadn't been watching the whole time.

Fjine, been a ljittle bjit ssslowerrr wjith Ssseerrrrrra havjing to be out of the offjice sssomewhat but that jisss fjine wjith me gjiven the cjircumssstancesss-Raeer

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

Her comment made Kitssarri smile a little bigger, and a soft chuckle escaped him.

"Well Ji am jussst glad that jyou apprrrrrove. Ji wjill trjy not to keep herrrr too much. Eeasssjierrr sssajid then done though."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

jI don't mjind asss long ssshe getsss sssome worrrk done-Raeer said while looking at Seer briefly, it was good to see her daughter look so happy.

Seer smiled innocently while looking at Kitssarri and smiling but still stayed quiet.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

The driver's voice came through again, this time though to let everyone know that they had arrived at their destination.

Kitssarri shifted slightly in his seat, getting ready to disembark from the car. The door opened and one by one, each of the passengers got out of the car. In his seat, Kitssarri waited for his turn to get out, wanting to be the last out of the car. Finally, he got out.

They stood around outside of the car, for a second, stretching their legs, and then Raeer left the pack, leading the way towards a large building. Kitssarri waded over to Seer, wrapped a big arm around her waist.

"Ssso we'rrrre fjinalljy herrrre. Thjingssss arrrre gojing prrretttjy well thusss farrr Ji mussst sssajy, forrr whjich Ji am glad."

The smile left his face, and a look of complete seriousness appeared.

"Beforrre we go jin, therrrre jisss ssssomethjing jimporrtant that ji mussst tell jyou."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer raised an eyebrow, looking up at him curiously.

What?

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

She looked up at him, her face so beautiful. The sunlight light up her face, giving her a radiant look. But it was back to her eyes. He was caught up in them once again. It was far too easy for him to get lost in them.

"Therrrre jissss sssomethjing verrrjy jimporrrtant that ji mussst tell jyou beforre we go on. "

He could tell by the look in her that she was dying to know what was going through his head at this time, what he was going to say. Kitssarri paused, letting the moment last a little longer, playing with the suspense.

"Ji jussst want to take the tjime to tell jyou that Ji love jyou verjy much, and that wjith each passsssjing sssecond that love onljy grrrowsss."

His hand lifted and went to her cheek, caressing it lightly.

"Jyou arrre verrrrjy ssspecjial to me, and ji want jyou to know that."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer smiled widely at his words, he had a way of making her heart swoon without trying too hard. Her thoughts wandered briefly, thinking of what she wanted to do when they were alone. For now, her tail swept over his back before she spoke.

jI would sssajy the exact sssame forrr jyou, jyou make me feel ljike jI neverrr have beforrre, jI don't know how jI would everrr ljive wjithout jyou and jI love jyou morrre than worrrdsss could everrr exprrresssssss.......

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

When she had finished speaking, he pulled her closer to him, their faces only centimeters apart. Kitssarri knew here parents would be waiting for them, but this was important to him, and he didn't mind keeping them wait for a moment longer.

"Jyou do not know how sssspecjial that makesss me feel."

With love in the air, especially around the two Cizerack, Kitssarri leaned in closer to her, closing his eyes slowly. He kissed her softly at first, then more deeply and passionately. He kissed her as if he would never see her again, his emotions pouring through the kiss. Finally after a good moment or so, he pulled away, and opened his eyes ever so slowly. When they did open, he found himself looking into her eyes once more, a smile on his face. It was hard not to smile when she was around, and impossible not to smile when she was close, or when he was lost in the beauty of her eyes. She simply had that affect on him.

"We sssshould catch up to the rrrressst of them, Ji thjink. Don't want to keep them wajitjing too long. "

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer leaned on Kit a little, she loved it when he kissed her like that, it always made her feel a bit weak in the knees but she loved it. Her smile was wider than before as she looked up at him.

jI know, dearrr.

She was then quiet for a few moments, enjoying just being there with him before she looked towards the door.

jyesss, we ssshouldn't keep them wajiting.....

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

The couple walked inside of the large building, their arms lined toghether, hand in hand. Each of them bore the unmistakable look of hapiness in their eyes, on their face, and just in their very body language towards each other.

A group had gathered in a room at the end of the hallways. The happy couple walked along, finally cathing up to the rest of them.

"Ssssorrrrrjy about that. I had ssssomethjing jimporrrrtant to do."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Qujite all rrrjight....-Raeer said quietly Arrre the two of jyou hungrrrjy? jI was jussst thjinkjing of gettjing djinnerrr gojing.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

Kitssarri hadn't really noticed it before, but now the question had been asked, he began to take notice of how hungry he was. It had bbeen a while since he'd had soemthing to eat.

"Ji don't know about Ssseeerrrrr, but Ji am a ljittle peckjissssh. A bjite to eat sssoundssss ljike a good jidea."

Seer's hand was still in that of Kitssarri. he gavce it quick squeeze, his thumb gently caressing the back of her hand all the while.

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer purred softly, she didn't know why but she liked hearing her own name from him instead of mistress. She had always called him by Kitssarri or Kit but he hadn't called her Seer until recently but then again recently was when their lives had gotten interesting, when she had let go and let herself love him. She reached up and ran her fingers through Kit's hair briefly before she answered.

jIt'sss been awhjile sssjince we've eaten ssso sssoundsss good to me-Seer

Her mother smiled once then headed of to see what she could get prepared for the meal.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

Raeeer was only gone a matter of moments, but already delicious smells were slinking out of the kitchen. They reached Kitssarri's nose, his mouth already watering. He was hungry, but now having smelt the goodness emanating from the kitchen, Kitssarrri was starving. He tried to be patient, but it was going to be tough.

Seer's father was seated across from Kitssarri. Though Kitssarri had once been the manservant for Raeer, he had never met Rokeerra before. At the time, Rokeerra had been away. Then again, it was only a matter of a couple of very short months that Kitssarri had been with Raeer.

"Sssso what hasss been keepjing jyhou busssjy?"

Kitssarri spoke with a genuine sincerity in his voice.

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Mossstljy wonderrrjing how Ssseerrrrrr wasss dojing but that ssseemss to be fjine now, otherrrwjissse nothjing rrrealljy-Rokeerra answered quietly

In truth, Rokeerra spent most of his time with his mate, just for that time, Raeer had sent him to oversee the company a little bit for her while she tried to figure if Kitssarri was right to watch over Seer. Raeer wanted see how the male was without comments from her mate besides the male presense would have made Kit even more nervous. In the less stressed situation, Raeer had the time to judge the male better and he had seemed right for Seer. Rokeerra had a good feeling about Kit though, Kit seemed to love his daughter dearly so that was good enough for him.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

Noise came from the other room, mostly the sound of dishes and pots and pan being used in some fashion. The smells leaked from the room, filling the present chamber with delicious smells of various foods. They were driving Kitssarri nuts. Each of them with it's own distinct smell and taste. He wasn't sure how much longer he would be able to hold out without going crazy.

"Ahhh. Well jyou wjill have to come ssssometjime and sssee one of mjy rrracesss. The new ssseassson ssstarrrtsss sssshortljy"

Kitssarri was smiling wildly again.

"Ji don't make anjy prrrromjisssesss sssjince jit hasss been a whjile sssjince ji have rrraced, but jit wjill prrrove to be an excjitjijng jyear."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Well Rrraerrrr and jI don't trrravel much but majybe we wjill-Rokeerra said quietly.

Ssshould be an exjicjitjing yearrr anjywajy, dearrr-Seer smiled at Kitssarri in reference to other things.

Not too long after, Raeer reappeared followed by several servants who brought in the food. There was a few cooked animals but most of it consisted of smaller live prey that skittered around in the bowls, trying to get out. Raeer sat down at the table herself before helping herself to the many types of food, her mate did the same along with Seer's brother.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

The family sat together at the table, each of them eating, grabbing various foods in turn. Kitssarri waited as each of them ate some, before his turn finally came. He reached for a small furry rodent like animal. It scurried around in the bowl, trying to get away from him, but alas it was no use. Kitsarri grabbed it, looked at it for a second, before taking a large bite, savoring the taste.

"Mmmmmmm"

Kitssarri chewed his food, swallowing it all, before resuming speaking.

"Tokarrarri.....ssso what do jyou thjink of jyourrr nephew?"

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Tokarrarri looked up from knawing on a large animal leg bone before swallowing quickly.

He'sss cute jI guessssss, mjy mate and jI don't have anjy jyet ourrrssselvess.-Tokarrarri answered before going back to eating since he didn't feel like talking but then again he never really did unless it was to annoy his sister.

Seer watched her brother, glad that he had chosen not to be rude for once before she grabbed a rabbit-like animal and ate it before getting a few Sajoi and eating those as well.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

Well that was kind of rude. He seems to be different from the rest of the family.

Kitssarri made a point to learn what he could about her brother. Might come in handy some day.

Everyone continued eating, not much conversation going on at all between them. Finally, the servants appeared from some room, Kitssarri wasn't sure which, and they started to clean the table, picking up the plates and what little food was leftover.

"An excellent meal, jif ji majy sssajy sssso."

Seated next to him, was his mate, Seer. He looked over at her, smiling soflty, as he looked into her eyes. Not a minute went by that he grew tired of looking into them.

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Well ourrr cooksss arrre qujite good, thejy have been arrround the kjitchensss forrr manjy manjy jyearrrsss, ssso wjill jyou be ssstajyjing the njight herrre, Ssseerrrrrrra?-Raeer

Seer was looking at Kitssarri since she knew he loved getting lost in her eyes. She smiled but didn't look away as she spoke.

jI don't thjink ssso, jI wasss plannjing on gojing back tonjight-Seer said. It wasn't as though Seer wasn't liking being back with her family but she preferred spending time with her mate and her son. Seer had never been one who liked to stay on the home planet, it seemed she found off world more of like her second home.

[Kitssarri Reetissa]

Her words echoed Kitssarri's sentiments. Although he had a really good time getting to know Seer's family in another capacity then simply a manservant, he was anxious to get home. There was much that needed to be done.

After Seer had finished talking, Kitssarri was still looking into her eyes. Another moment passed and he finally turned away, and looked towards her mother.

"Therrre arrre ssssome thjingssss that need to be done at home, Ji'm afrrrajid."

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

Seer smiled, she knew Kit wanted to get started on modifying the ship she had given him again. At any rate, Seer was more comfortable back at her "second" home, she liked the company of her family but wanted to get home.

Seer's mother wasn't really surprised since Seer liked being away and she knew like any female, Seer would rather spend time with her mate than with her family. Personally Raeer didn't blame her, Seer's mother had been the same about Rokeerra when they got together and still preferred his company.

Well jit'sss a pjitjy that jyou can't ssstajy longerrr but that'sss fjine-Raeer

Well therrre'sss thjingsss that need to be done back home, Kjit'sss ssshjip ssstjill needsss a few modjifjicatjionsss and jI have that meetjing wjith the Rrrazjinsss tomorrrrrrow-Seer

jI know, jI can sssee that jyou need to get back-Raeer said quietly while Rokeerra wrapped his tail around her waist.
