*Lyr laughs and puts an arm around Izriel's shoulders*
It's shortened from something. You got a tongue on you. Tell me, do you use it for anything else other than eating and talking? I'd bet Izriel would be pleased by it.
*Izriel seems confused*

*Gharn nods*
Gharn: This is my humani name. My birth name is unpronounceable by most beings standards
*He then looks confused*
Gharn: Why would my tongue be pleasing?

You'll figure it out in time.
Why would it be pleasing?
*Izriel gets booped on the nose by Lyr*
You'll figure it out in time as well, pumpkin.
*Izriel pouts*

*Gharn frowns*
Gharn: Very well... But why are you calling Izriel a gourd?

It's a pet name. You'll be calling each other one in no time.
...What's a pet name?
*Booped*
In time.

*Gharn frowns*
Gharn: A pet name? I think I've heard of this, it's a alternate name for your mate yes? If so, would we call each other that?

*Leo uses her tail to grab a tub of fruit salad*

Leo: There you go.

*Leo holds it up for Scatty to grab*

*Scatty snags it, flips off of Leo's back and lands neatly on the floor*
Scatty: Thanks babe.
*She grins and grabs herself a bowl and a fork*

*Lyr smiles, which is unseeable with her veil as Izriel squeaks as she finally gets it*
At least somebody's using their head today. Let's hope you're better at that in the future, Gharn.
*Izriel would squeak again if she got the innuendo, which she did not*

*Gharn's frown deepens*
Gharn: I do not understand...


*Iris comes back into the room, goes to Horus and hugs him, then they go for another one of their walks in the woods*

Ask the next grown-up you meet. They'll know.
*Smiles underneath the veil and goes back to cuddling the squeaked Izriel*

*Gharn's frowns turns slightly angry*
Gharn: I may be young, but there's no need to patronize me. I am fully grown to adulthood.

*Leo smirks*

Leo: Babe?

*Chuckles*

Leo: Alright, I'll roll with that.

*Larry slides into his room*

But you haven't' encountered all of the luxuries in life. I'd say someone like...Aoife, might know. Blake as well. The chick with the black wings would definitely know as well. And until you have that luxury, you'll be a youngling to me.

*Scatty shrugs*
Scatty: You've got your pet name, I've got to think of something. Babe was the first on that popped to mind, I know it's not very original but it's a testing ground right now
*Shrugs and starts eating*

*Leo smiles and starts eating*

Leo: I wasn't complaining.

*Scatty nods and smiles*
Scatty: Good!
*Plonks her boots on the table and leans back to eat as Cal comes into the kitchen with Dria riding his shoulders*
Cal: Hello you two.
Dria: Hi!
Scatty: Hey Cal, Dria. How's it going?
Cal: Excellent, we're just here to pack a for a family picnic.
*He pulls out a basket from a rarely used cupboard and starts making sandwiches as Dria watches from his shoulders*
Scatty: Nice, have fun with that.


*Gharn frowns*
Gharn: Would know about what!? What exactly am I supposed to ask of those people and Lady Morrigan?

*Lyr sighs and waves away Gharn's question*
Don't worry about it...
*Looks at Izriel*
Say bye to Gharn, we're going to bed
We are? Wh-
*Gets an elbow to the chestplate*
...Okay...
*Turns to Gharn*
Bye...See you in the morning...
*Lyr smiles, floats up, and waits for Izriel to do the same*

*Rita sleeps.*

-----
*Jake decides to get some rest, and goes to Denny's room for sleep.*

*Gharn nods*
Gharn: Goodnight to you both. Rest well.
*He shifts on the couch pushing his legs over the edge getting ready to try and get himself into his wheel chair*

Leo: Have fun with the picnic.

*Leo kisses Scatty*

Leo: We could go on a picnic of out own.

*Izriel looks at Lyr, then back at Gharn*
I will be with you shortly, Lyr.[b]
[b]Okay...Just don't take too long.
*Lyr floats off, as Izriel floats by Gharn*
Do you want help standing?

*Gharn sighs and nods slightly sheepishly*
Gharn: I should not push it just yet. My legs are still healing, they should be usable by tomorrow though, if not back to full strength.


*Scatty nods slowly*
Scatty: We've sort of done that already with our camping trips, but a hike and a picnic could be nice... I still need to get in contact with Grandfather though... Oof... I don't know...

Leo: I'd say contact your grandfather first. That is a very important matter.

*Leo finishes up her chicken and salad*

Leo: Want to try now?

*Izriel moves beside Gharn to help him stand*
When you are ready.

*Gharn nods and with Izriel's help stands, he winces as he's leaning rather heavily on her and staggers the few steps to his wheelchair then collapses into it.*
Gharn: Agh... that hurt. I think it best not to stand again for a bit
*Looks upset at his own current weakness*


*Scatty nods*
Scatty: Electronics won't work, but I can try scrying. You've never seen scrying have you? You want to come with me?

*Izriel nods and floats back away a respectable distance*
I'm sure you'll make a full recovery, Gharn Were-fang. Just be patient with your wounds.
*Nods, then turns to leave back to Lyr's room*

*Gharn nods and smiles slightly again*
Gharn: I know I will, thank you. Sleep well.
*Starts wheeling himself towards the kitchen*
Gharn: (At least my arms shall not weaken)

*Leo nods*

Leo: Yes.

*Leo stands up*

*Scatty nods and finishes her salad then puts the dishes in the sink*
Scatty: Alright then, let's go. I think Thoth has stone be can borrow. I just hope Grandfather is somewhere near with a reflective surface...
*Leads Leo towards Thoth's room*
Scatty: Most people can do it with anything reflective, but I really don't have that ability
