Teras|Soleil	Lets get this post out of the way first. Teras and Rufus. Hm why not lets make it cute. Teras and rufus where are they I wonder? Late winter now, suns still coming up rather late, but it -still- comes up so no more darkness for the dogs room. Apparently the night out before turned out half-decent for the dog given he'll be waking up with an extra feathery blanket drapped over him, apparently

	---	End of WHOIS information for Teras|Soleil.
	Teras|Soleil	snoozing birds present.
	Rufus|Yori	Rufus will od course be more than happy with this little scenario as the canines eyes flutter open, taking a brief moment to give his head a rub before looking down upon the feathery blanket draped over him, chuckling softly "Well, ain't this the perfect way to start of a birthday~?" he says in a low tone, one arm wrapped around the treepies back while the other gives stretch.
	Teras|Soleil	was, belive it or not, actually awake. Light smirks saying as much as the dog speaks, though she's quite intent on keeping those eyes closed, arm still drapped across the dog with the rest of her pressed up close to his side and shoulder. "...hmm? Heh...so it's my birthday now? Didn't know that. Perfects a bit of a stretch though dont you think?"
	Rufus|Yori	"Heh, nope, this was the day my dad found me in a big pile of blankets so it's close enough~" Rufus replies with a chuckle "And aye, perfect may be stretching it a bit, I'm sure I could think of more than a ways to improve it~" he says with a wry smile, though yeah, it's clear he's just enjoying relaxing with the bird, so Teras can rest easy it seems.
	Teras|Soleil	Who says she wants to? Either way time for to open those sultry eyes at -least- a little, resting her head more directly atop his shoulder can she give him more of a straight... well okay half-amsued and half-asleep look "Heh. Hey not like I ever told you it pooch~ for all you know I could be born today..though that would mean admiting to being a year older" She gives a light little snicker,
	Teras|Soleil	one wing staying where it is as the other strokes the back of his head "Oh? This again? the dogs got ideas on how to improve things~ Going to share?"
	Rufus|Yori	"Heh, well then, I'll just have to get you a gift just to be sure won't I~" he says teasingly with a grin, Rufus will now of course be looking back to the treepie as his own deep brown eyes open up once more, that wry smile returning "Hmmm" he says, the dog pretending to mull it over, yeah right~ "I -suppose- I could share just a -little- bit" he says before tugging the covers up and over...
	Rufus|Yori	...the couples head (yeah, unless Teras has anything to add here this may warrant a fast forward)
	Teras|Soleil	Hm, yeah, time to get those eyes of hers a we bit closer to his, wings wrapping around a little more tightly as she tugs herself forward looking just a -tad- bemused at the dogs ponderous nature eyes still giving that half lid look before finally raising a finger "Shhh~" and... yup, the dog is getting a gentle kiss after that, and -yeah- what comes next most certainly -does- warrant a bit
	Teras|Soleil	of a fast forward. Apparently Teras is in a good mood this morning. More time passes, mornings more of an afternoon now I'd say. Of course from one private scene to another, I suspect the -baths- has to be the next location of choice for various reasons. The two probably breaking the rules nice and -terribly- when Teras makes sure the door to the room is locked, not because of any funny
	Teras|Soleil	bussiness of course... more to avoid whiners about the wrong gender being in the room... whomever of the two that was.. does it really matter?
	Rufus|Yori	Not in the slightest~, Rufus of course bringing his clothes in with him, which of course, are promptly ditched on a bench as the canine looks eagerly at the water before stepping into the water and setting himself down, Hipflask filled with an actually rather classy liquor, speacial occasion and all that, dog might aswell celebrate getting old in style after all "Heh, well that certainly was...
	Rufus|Yori	...an improvement~" the dag notes with a chuckle, eyes half lidded as he dips himself under for a moment before rising back up and getting comfortable.
	Teras|Soleil	Rufus earns himself another sort of lazy, bemused look from the bird before she inches into the hot water as well which I'm sure is pretty darn hot right about now, not that she minds one bit. just realaxing on in down to her shoulders a step away from the dog. Near enough so she can of -course- reach out to steal that hipflaks to unscrew it "I'm improving now? Hm and here I thought I was
	Teras|Soleil	perfect already." She takes a sip from the flask, her expressiong giving a sort of fussy 'Not bad~ Not bad~' from the taste, might as well reach out and give his chin a scratch "So what's the scruffy scondrel want second most now?"
	Teras|Soleil	(and why is no one else joining the freeform at all XD?)
	Rufus|Yori	(I dunno, they aren't lezzing it up so it's not a couples thing)
	Rufus|Yori	"Everything improves with age birdy~" the canine says teasingly before chuckling "glad ya' like the liqour though, picked it up from a distellery about five years back, cask aged fer longer than my dad's been around" he says with a shrug "All drinks the same o' course~" he adds before opening those half lidded eyes ever so slightly "Hmmm, Winter festival is kicking off about now ain't it? Up...
	Rufus|Yori	...fer findin' a warm place ta' celebrate and make the most of the time we've got before demi-gods show up to get their arse kicked~?"
	Teras|Soleil	Because convient festivals must always land on birthdays <3~ The bird does still seem unusually pleasent today still, shifting behind the dog to stroke his shoulders a bit as she reaches around him to hand him back his flask . But miss snarks is still miss snarks "Noticing some contradictions there. Festival. Outside. Winter, and 'warm place'. Heh~ doesn't quite add up pooch."
	Rufus|Yori	They do! And lets be terrible and totally take advantage of that <3 Rufus of course chuckling as he wraps one of his own arms around the treepies back as his other hand takes the hip flask in hand and enjoys a swig "Heh, true, Though I'm sure we can find somewhere that's had the common sense to get the heat goin'~, warm fire, music, drink, dancin', singin' might aswell makes this day a bit...
	Rufus|Yori	...o' fun eh~?"
	Teras|Soleil	Well I did say she was -behind- him. Hehe, bit of a reach around for him to do that, but it's plausably doable. Either way our bird girl mulls over his suggested idea, head resting over his shoulder as she leans against his back a bit lazy like. "Hm~ Heh...not sure about that one. But why not? We'll see about finding your fires and dancing Pooch."
	Rufus|Yori	"Hey, we could always get you all dolled up like a princess again and make this place into our dance hall, worked well enough the first time~" Rufus notes with a grin "But aye, if we can't find the fun, then we'll just bring it in with us, yet to find a bartender with the stones to toss both of us out~"
	Teras|Soleil	"Heh. You're one too many favors short to try that again. I'd stick you in that thing instead now if I didn't know you'd probably enjoy it." given she's in a good position for it Rufus gets himself a peck on the cheek before the lady leans back up again. "Of course you know there's nothing wrong with -anyone- being in Pink back home. Still don't know what you dogs and cats have against it."
	Rufus|Yori	will of course be grinning like a cheshire cat after that kiss, Teras probably feeling a certain tail gently patting against her as it wags away under the water "Practicality mostly Birdy, hard not to stand out in a sea on of dark greens, browns and greys when yer pink as a flamingo~" the canine notes with a chuckle "Hmm, Not sure how I'd look in pink anway, what'dya think Birdy, you asked...
	Rufus|Yori	...me it before, so my turn, what colour would ya' put me in?"
	Teras|Soleil	"Heh. Kindof hard to care when a quarter of us have color to them already." the bird notes when it comes to her own people. The dog's question getting her brow a quirking, her hands still loosely hanging on his shoulders as they have a nice soak in the hot water. "Hmmmm~" She raises on hand enough to rub her beak "Well your wishfull thinking would probably be none at all?" the bird giving
	Teras|Soleil	a wink, though it's hard to see from where she is. "But tch, not a clue. If I was out to punish you it'd be more about size then color.... and yeah no, not wasting my favors on dressup."
	Teras|Soleil	(WHY IS NO ONE JOINING US IN THE FREEFORM XD)
	Teras|Soleil	(Admitly our characters are both too goodie goodie)
	Rufus|Yori	chuckle "Heh, I'll just stick to black on black fer now then, never had an objection before, and it's great fer makin' people jump on dark nights~" he says with a grin "Glad you mad ethat decision, knowin' how cruel ya' can be I'd be walkin' funny fer about a week after yer little dressup" he says with a snicker before leaning on back aswell, being sure to give the treepie a nice kiss on the...
	Rufus|Yori	...cheek in return for her earlier one "Hmm, any word from 'ome birdy? Still feelin' bad about keepin; ya' 'ere~"
	Rufus|Yori	(Yeah, it's true, but I need a better target for Yori to be mischeviousSol kills it with kindness <3 )
	Rufus|Yori	(gah! Rufus is my only other mischief makerSeb and Leo are both goody goodies too)
	Teras|Soleil	yori COULD torment her
	Teras|Soleil	but yeah
	Teras|Soleil	"Or be trampled on when a crowd can't be bothered to see you" Teras adds in turn tilting her head at the cheek kiss a bit, though the mention of home gets her frowning for a few seconds responding with maybe a bit of grump in her voice "They're fine, and they'll live last I checked Pooch. I'm really not needed over there."
	Rufus|Yori	"Oh I know, they're yer kids after all, anythin' like you they could take down trouble with their tongues, let alone their feathers~" Rufus replies with a smirk, noting the grump and deciding a change of subject may be in order, passing Teras the flask once again after taking a swig "Hmmm, So you'll be heading home after this business is taken care of, where do ya' fancy travellin' after?...
	Rufus|Yori	...Plenty of the world left to see, been tempted to follow that penguin fella home a couple of times~"
	Teras|Soleil	gives a sigh, time for her to clean back a bit again, hm lets give the bird time to actually you know. -clean- herself rather then just soak while being lazy against a dog, but flask handings at least give her a momentary smirk as she takes a gulp "Yeah. That's the plan pooch. Once he's good and dead I'll be heading back home." she half glances Rufus way "With you tagging along. I'd
	Teras|Soleil	pray for the ancestors help with -that- challenge, but I'm pretty sure they'd be more for making it difficult. Really haven't put any thought into where comes after."
	Rufus|Yori	might aswell follow suit and actually get to cleaning, after all, wet dog without soap? Yeah, not nice <3 the canine setting to work lathering himself up "Hmm, that sounds good, lookin' forawrd to seein' more or the east, been everywhere else enough times~" he notes before grinning <Got a lot better at speaking too, still need work here and there, but much improve from start eh~?>
	Teras|Soleil	gives Rufus a sort of halflidded glance for a moment, cleaning off those arms first, before just shaking her head and looking away "Pooch. You just told me to go find a giraffe"
	Rufus|Yori	looks to Teras with a smirk "Oh? Must be yer crappy teachin' then, thought you said you were perfect Birdy~?" he says teasingly, yeah, he knows full well she's fucking with him, might aswell play along though~
	Teras|Soleil	"No. You're the one who said that. Way to make a liar out of yourself pooch." the bird giving him a dimissive wave (And yeah Rufus's sentance structure is way too good there. Should be more Julia <3~). Maybe inching away a bit more now back a bit turned that way too as she washes one arm raised high. "But hey. I'll take your word for it."
	Rufus|Yori	(ah, righto, I'll do better next time <3)
	Rufus|Yori	"Yer perfect fer -me- birdy~, which probably ain't all that good a sign~" he says before slipping up behind the treepie and pulling her into an embrace, or at least what -looks- like an embrace as a mischevious grin flashes across that face, the canine taking a moment before leaning on back with the treepie in his grip, hey, they need to rinse of the suds anyway~
	Teras|Soleil	go ahead and roll opposed I suppose
	Rufus|Yori	(yeah. splash time~<3)
	Teras|Soleil	Heh, hm the bird doesn't seem to mind hugs -too- much, not reaching to grasp his arms or anything, her own form staying int he same pose it was as she glances down at them, giving a light smirk "Am I no--" and yeah this is where the tug comes in, taking the bird most certainly by surprise as Rufus pulls them down into the water and fast. Eyes widden and -sploosh-, the bird is coughing, and
	Teras|Soleil	maybe even -cackling- as they erupt from the shallow water again giving the dog a well deserved shove as she tries to rise again.
	Rufus|Yori	of course will be rising back up, laughing his arse of like an evil git as he gets shoved, stumbling back in a bit and making another splash as a result <3, though yeah, he'll just give Teras a wry smile now and snicker "Heh, figured warm water would be a nicer touch this time~"
	Teras|Soleil	yeah Teras only ends up getting halfway up, dripping nicely now, half kneeling, one hand balancing her through the water as she looks towards the blasted dog. with a laugh at and a smirk "Well at least you had the good sense not to try it in -freezing- water this time." she rubs her knee some as she raises a tiny bit more, before bugger it, reaching out to ruffle the top of the dogs head.
	Rufus|Yori	of course is happy to recieve the head ruffles as he sets to finishing off their little wash, a little bit more lathering to do here and there before a final rinse "There we are, no worries about the smell of wet dog for a while~" he says with a chuckle as he gets himself up "Now for the part where you cackle away like the evil bugger you are when I fluff up" he says with a smirk slowly...
	Rufus|Yori	...rising out of the bath and helping himself to a towel, setting to work rubbing himself dry, and yeah, it doesn't take long at all for the static to start doings its thing~.
	Teras|Soleil	Teras doesn't -quite- rise all the way yet, just sort of hanging near the edges, not taking long to sort of rest against the walls of the shallow pool facing away from it, and naturally towards our drying off dog. Which... of course. Won't be getting away with that so -easily-, the moment it looks like he's anywhere -near- geting dry will be when she'll be nonchalantly reaching out to give
	Teras|Soleil	him a -sharp- pull towards her instead <3~
	Rufus|Yori	Yeah, Rufus doesn't even see that coming at all so no real option for a Bod roll, being the trusting idiot that he is, his eye widening as he finds himself falling back into the pool with another great big splash, presumably his tail or arm being in suitable grabbing distance for the treepie, the canine suiting her a mock glare before just bursting out laughing, that tail of his now making...
	Rufus|Yori	...little waves behind him in the water.
	Teras|Soleil	Teras of course:cackles at his misfortune, still halfway lazing against the pools wall, except now facing away from it so she can look at the rising dog. She gives a little nonchalant shrug as his glare comes out, smirking all the way. "What? Thought you were going to just get away with that one Pooch?"
	Rufus|Yori	grins at the treepie before chuckling merrily "Bah! Thought I'd moved far away enough from the edge, live an' learn~" he says with a smirk as he slides on over and makes himself comfotable next to the treepie, since, y'know, He'd have to dry himself ALL OVER AGAIN NOW ANYWAY <3 "Hmm, so, got any ideas what you want as a gift fer the festival Birdy? I imagine this is a rare occasion fer you...
	Rufus|Yori	...to stick around in this place long enough to celebrate it~"
	Teras|Soleil	The Treepie watches him approche again with halflided lazy eyes of course not moving out of the way of any potential counter attack just yet. As he asks his question though her words are simple "Pooch" she puts a finger on his nose and leaves it there "Pretty sure on Birthdays you're suppose to worry about the gifts you're getting, not giving."
	Rufus|Yori	snickers "True~, though I never was one to get too many presents birdy, mercs ain't exactly the most generous folk, well.... Apart from my eighteenth, basterds~" he says with a grin. "But aye, you've got a point~ was that my gift earlier or have I got a surpise comin'~?"
	Teras|Soleil	Well she already has her finger on his nose, but it isn't difficult to slide it down to his cheek a bit "Hmm~ probably one or two more pooch." the bird leaning ahead just a little bit more "One or two more"
