Berries and Relaxation

[Omni]

Sitting at the base of the mountains, Gotto and Cane smiled at each other. Pecha berry in hand, Cane lifted it to Gotto's mouth, and he happily bit off a large piece. Cane finished it off. Gotto shut his eyes as a soft breeze blew against his face, causing his feather to sway, and tickling Cane's nose. "ACHOO!" sneezed Cane, and Gotto laughed. "That's what you've got to deal with, hooking up with a Sneasel." He said cheerily. Cane smiled back. "I think I'll survive." he replied.

Gotto looked off into the distance, through the bushes and grass, and the swaying trees, scanning the area. "Now where is that child of ours?" He asked, not seeing their kit. "I don't know, but I'm sure there's no reason to worry. Kids will be kids." Cane said, kissing his boyfriend lightly on the cheek. Gotto blushed.

((Whew, hard to talk about the kit not knowing yet if it's male or female. But I left it open for either when you decide to join in Wynn.))

ooc: is an adopted Ralts fine? ^_^

ic: Moonachie came through the grass, her hands clutching picked flowers. The ralts was very young, only having learned to walk recently. "Look what I gotted!" She tripped, then picked herself back up, and continued running towards them in her young, clumsy way.

[Omni]

((Yeah, any pokemon is fine.))

Gotto flinched as Moonachie tripped and fell, but luckily she picked herself up and continued on towards them. "Be careful running like that..." Cane said nervously. "We don't want you hurting yourself." Gotto looked at the flowers and smiled. "They're very beautiful Moonachie. You're very good at picking flowers." Cane nodded in agreement. "Yep, we've got a talented one on our hands." He said, smiling at his partner. "Just try to stay where we can keep an eye on you okay Moon?"

[wynnyelle]

"Uh-huh," said Moonachie. She laid the flowers down by Gotto. "For you." She looked at Cane. "Now I'm gonna get some for you too." She ran off again into the field to pick some more wildflowers.

[Omni]

Cane chuckled as she bounded off again. "She's so adorable when she's energetic like that. I dread to think about what it'll be like when this phase passes..." He said. "You said it yourself Cane, no need to worry. We should just enjoy it now." Gotto put in, then yelled out to Moonachie "When you're done picking flowers, come on back. I have some berries set out for you." Cane laughed at him. "What?" Gotto asked. "Somebody's turning into Mr. Mom." He chuckled. Gotto pushed him playfully. "Oh get off of it. I like providing for her. Anyway, isn't 'bringing home the bacon' the father stereotype? Guess that means you're Mr. Mom."

[wynnyelle]

Moonachie soon came running back with more flowers. "Yes Gotto. I'm coming!" She ran back in with the flowers for Cane. "I gotted you these. And what kinds of berries?" Berries were her favourite food. Well, some berries. "None of the ooky ones?"

[Omni]

Gotto laughed. "No, no 'ooky ones.' I made sure to avoid bitter and dry ones. There are a couple of spicy berries over there though, so if you eat them be very careful to only eat what you can handle, okay? The same goes for the sour ones." he said, motioning to the Cheri berries and Aspear berries that he had set aside from the rest. "The Pecha berries may be best for you. They're the pink ones, and they're very sweet." Cane added, accepting the flowers gracefully. "They're very nice Moon, thank you."

[wynnyelle]

"I like Pechas the bestest." Moonachie took the nearest pecha berry and with her right mouth, chewed on the soft fruit. Yes...her right mouth. Moonachie wasn't like other Ralts. She had been born with a large head and two faces, duplicate features: four eyes, two noses and two mouths, as well as two fins on the front of the top of her head instead of the usual one. The only thing she didn't have in extra was her ears.

[Omni]

((Wow, didn't realize that would be what you chose. They won't care a bit though.))

"Only eat as much as you're hungry for Moon. We don't want you getting sick." Cane said. Gotto reached over, grabbing a Nanab berry, and holding it up to Cane, who gratefully took a bite. "You remembered my favorite!" He said when he was done chewing. "He leaned in and kissed Gotto again, making a lip-shaped berry juice smudge on his face. "Well, I'd expect Moonachie to be a little messy, but what's your excuse, eh Dad?" He said in mock annoyance. He wiped the berry off of his face and smiled.

((When Moonachie is around, they refer to each other as 'Dad', like most parents would.))

[wynnyelle]

ooc: yes but Moon needs a way to distinguish which dad she's talking to...

ic: Moonachie giggled. "You gotted Daddy Gotto all messied! You gotted Daddy Gotto all messied." She then stood up as tall as she could and kissed Gotto too.

[Omni]

((That's fine. Just didn't want you to think Cane was Gotto's dad 0.o))

Gotto smiled. "Aw, come on Moonachie, you're gonna get me messy too!" Cane laughed at the two. The sight of the two of them being so loving and having so much fun was something to be cherished. It was unfortunate, but ever since Moonachie was born she was treated badly by almost everyone because of her appearance. That's when he and Gotto came into the picture, finding her alone, abandoned by her kind. The two could relate, as Cane had so many nights had to comfort Gotto, who despite his tough act, could not always deal with the pains of an outcast as a gay pokemon. Cane himself broke down from time to time, though he'd never let Gotto or Moon know it. He had to give them strength so they could be happy when they were able, ike right now.

((Well, that turned out more emotional than I realized, lol))

[wynnyelle]

Moonachie giggled, although the wave of emotion coming off of Cane quickly paused her laughter. She could feel the turmoil--it was a positive feeling overall, but very strong. "Oh..." She put her hand to her head. All four eyes blinked in unison. Moonachie was now three years old, and though she could remember some of her life before her dads had taken her in, it was hazy.

[Omni]

"Are you okay Moonachie?" Gotto asked. "Did you eat too many berries? Is your stomach hurting?" Cane wasn't sure what had happened either. He decided to read Moonachie's aura to find out what he could. It wasn't entirely clear, but he knew that it had something to do with his trip down memory lane. "Aw, Moon, was it me? Did I overload you? If so, I'm sorry..." He said, and Gotto looked at him, confused. "I'll tell you later Gotto."

[wynnyelle]

"No...I'm okay." Moonachie had learned very quickly that if she convinced her dads that she was okay, then their emotions healed over faster.

[Omni]

"Okay Moon, just checking." he said. Gotto cut in. "So Moonachie, what do you want to do today? It's a nice day out, and it'd be a shame to waste it."

[wynnyelle]

"I want to go exploring," said the young ralts. "Somewhere new."
