[Holding an excitable Kitten] We’re home.

It's foolish, but he can't stop from running close and hugging them both very tightly. He steps back again very quickly. "It is good to see you both again."

Elfy Hawke! [Kitten clings to Hawke like a limpet, covering him in kisses as he steps away, riding the elf's hip.] My petty elf, I missed you!

[highwire_tiger]

[Dick gives him a tight smile and bites his lip, his hand going automatically to the bracelet of gold leaves and green beads around his wrist.] I...I should leave you two to catch up. [But his eyes meet Hawke with something like pleading] Maybe I'll run into your later?

[archer_in_green]

He wraps his arms around Kitten, happy to let him cling. He smiles softly at Dick. "Perhaps sometime when the wind is more in our favor."

[neko_tim]

[Kitten snorts as Dick makes his apologies and runs for the Brownstone.] He likes you lots but he likes Tim different lot. It makes him sad and confused sometimes but he likes playing with the pretty thing you gave him. It makes him smile when he thinks no-one's looking. [He goes back to nuzzling Hawke's neck and hair, breathing him in as deep as he can.] I'm glad I'm not a big cat yet. It's all too complicated.

[archer_in_green]

"You are very observant, little kitten. It's always complicated when your heart is involved. I'm glad he likes the bracelet, it's meant to make him smile."

He nuzzles Tim's cheek, as he carries him towards the park. "Will you tell me of your trip?"

[neko_tim]

[Kitten hmphs] Complicated is boring and sad and no fun at all! I like just being able to play with everyone and not be sad at all!

[he cuddles close in Hawke's arms, sniffing his skin between little kisses] It wasn't good. JJ's was bad sick, like I was when Daddy found me but Daddy is helping him lots, even if it is with nasty shots. It was good to see Alfred and he read some more of Harry Potter to me so I know about Crookshanks now and I can tell Trickster all about her but... Daddy and Dickie argued a lot. Not... not real fighting just... talking loud and angry but they made up eventually and Daddy even let Dickie and me sleep in his bed some nights.

"It doesn't have to be sad, your brothers will learn in time."

He sets Tim down near the entrance to one of the smaller shelters. "If you or your brothers need me... I don't know if I can help heal JJ but I would try."

[neko_tim]

[Kitten hugs and nuzzles him, licking his cheek in a soft, loving gesture] You're so wonderful, pretty elf. But I think from what Daddy and Dick said, the only person who can make JJ better is himself. Daddy said he has to want to get better first. I want him to get better but I don't think that's enough yet.

[He looks up with his big blue eyes.] Can we snuggle and play some? I missed you lots.

[archer_in_green]

"A sickness of the heart then. I spoke with him but a few times, enough to understand he bore some sorrow."

Hawke strokes Tim's cheek, drawing him back towards the cluster of trees with a kiss. "I always have time to snuggle and play with a dear friend. Shall I send for my brothers? They've missed you too.

[neko_tim]

[Kitten nods] Kinda. The things he has to do to get better are things that make him sad but he doesn't want to be sad or sick so he gets angry instead but that doesn't help any.

[Kitten moans into the kiss, stroking Hawke's sides.] Wonderful pretty elf! Please? Three elfs would be so good and I miss them too.

[archer_in_green]

Hawke laughs and picks up two leaves off the ground, cupping them in his hands he whispers something lyrical and blows. The leaves flutter away like small butterflies. "They will come find us soon, kitten, but for now…" He turns to open the door of the shelter, its small, cozy interior covered in fluffy pillows and silken blankets.

[neko_tim]

[Kitten smiles at the sound and watches the leaves flutter] Pretty!

[He bundles inside, nosing the pillows and rubbing his cheek against the silk.] So soft! I like this, it's like a big version of the pillow forts my brothers and I make sometimes. [He flops down on his back and beckons Hawke closer] Hugs?

[archer_in_green]

"Pillow fort, I like that idea. We've a couple of these around the park now, to store things, and to rest, and entertain friends when we don't wish to travel all the way home." He curls up next to Tim, nuzzling his ears as he hugs him tightly. "I'm glad you're back."

[neko_tim]

I like it lots. [He purrs deeply as Hawke nuzzles him, making him feel warm and happy] So am I. I like it here so much better than home. I know that makes Daddy sad but... [he presses little kisses over Hawke's neck, licking up to his ear.] I missed you. Nothing at home smells good like you.

[archer_in_green]

Connor moans as kitten licks at the sensitive tips of his ears. "Nothing hmm? I wish I knew why we smelled so good to you." Maybe if he could stop it Dick would be his friend.
