"Thinking of your baby's safety is the most important thing," said Ebony, "but still, I wish I was there. I could've done something... but I had to be away on that stupid race with Lightning..." She sounded like she was almost blaming herself for her inaction and preoccupation.
"Don't blame yourself, Ebs," Phoenix told her, "It's not your fault. At least I'm okay now."
Ebony sighed, "I know, but I still feel guilty..."
It was then that the twins wandered over to where their mother was talking to Phoenix. They chirped at both cars. Then they curled up against Ebony's fender. Ebony forgot about her self-blame for the moment and just settled down with them.
"The twins don't think you're guilty of anything," Phoenix pointed out.
"Guess I shouldn't worry too much..." Ebony said, as she settled back down. The Viper let out a sigh.
"Hey, Ebs?" Phoenix asked, looking at the drowsy Viper, "You still look tired. Maybe a nap would be good for you right now."
"Nah, I'm fine," Ebony shook her front.
"It'll do you some good," Phoenix went on, "At least, that's what I think so."
Ebony hesitated, then relented, "Okay, I guess you're right, Nix. I do need it as I still haven't fully recovered from yesterday." She picked herself up, nudging the twins along with her, waving to Phoenix and heading back to her own room where she met up with Kendall.
"How did everything go?" he asked her, giving her a friendly nuzzle and a kiss on the fender.
"It went fine and Phoenix and I are still friends, Thank Chrysler," replied Ebony, "but I feel very tired now. I think I need another nap now."
Kendall followed Ebony into the room, shutting the door, and laying down on the rug with her and the twins, who snuggled up against their mother's fender. He just felt that she wanted him to remain close by in case she needed him.
* * * * *
Phoenix sighed and went to lay back down beside the still-sleeping Ricardo. She knew that she would now have to work at controlling her short temper and hoped that she and Ebony would come up with something that would help.

<<< Hey there, just got back from the 24 hour comic event. More info on this thing can be found at 24hourcomics.com/. I am going to get some shuteye and then scan in what I did. >>> "Tex and I were notorious for that when we were at university together." Strip chuckled. "Brothers from different mothers." He cocked his front at the sound of helicopter blades in the distance. "That would be him coming now, with the company's two best helos."
Kendall nuzzled Ebony as he lay down with her, then dozed a little.

Ebony blinked sleepily as she relaxed on her rug. She was tired and was beginning to get even more sleepy. Her twins, however, were not sleepy at all. As their mother finally dozed off, they lifted their little noses in the air and sniffed about. They crept off the rug and toward the door, peeking out into the open space of the center court, then scampered out to explore.
(((((OOC: There's this idea that I put in the brainstorming thread...)))))

Kendall continued to sleep, unconsciously shifting his weight around to avoid the twins he figured were sleeping there. It was when his body didn't meet theirs that he woke with a start, looked around and didn't see them. He nudged Ebony awake.
Buck Sikorsky and Saul "Rotor" Turbotsky set down in the LZ, stilled their blades, and then, as the air flow returned to normal around them, sniffed the air to see what- or who- was new, and also as an instinctive self-protective measure. Saul "kneeled" to allow his illustrious passenger to drive off, and and they followed their boss as he made his way over to where Strip was talking with the other aircraft. Buck flared his nostrils as he passed Robin, noting a change in her body chemistry and coming to the conclusion that she and Brett had finally made the promise for real.

When she was nudged, Ebony blinked awake instantly. "What? What is it?" It was then she looked toward her fender where the twins would sleep, only to find that they weren't there. She soon became a bit frantic. "The twins! Where are the twins?"
* * * * *
In the meantime, the twins themselves decided to avoid the koi pond and fountain and go through one of the corridors instead, just to see what else was there in this big mountain that their mother had chosen as a home.

Daniel woke up earlier than he needed. It was an old habit from being a soldier for some time, even though he never did what the civilians considered 'soldiering'. He grabbed quick breakfast on the go, munching on a sandwich wandering the halls.
"Jason's here." Daniel said, familiar with the training session he was giving Delfina. He saw him entering the center court, what he commonly did when not busy at the moment. Jason knew where Delfina was, but since the lessons were up to her, he had the habit of not approaching her, but let her approaching him.

"They must have wandered away while we were sleeping." Kendall went towards the door with a determined look that overlay his anxiety, "But we'll find them."
Liska spotted Daniel as he went down the hall, and waved.

"Hey Liska." Daniel said, giving her a light kiss. "How are Shadow's pups doing?"

"Yes, thanks," Delfina nodded, getting up. She didn't have anything else planned today, so now was a good time for lessons. She went over to where Jason was at in the center court.
* * * * *
Ebony picked herself up and went to the door. She was very worried about the twins wandering off on their own. "I don't know why they would just up and wander away," she said worriedly, "They usually stay near me, or with someone else. And this mountain is a big place. How are we ever going to find them before they hurt themselves?"
(((((OOC: Hmmm, what are some of the places that the twins could go?)))))

"They're nursing well, all healthy little buggers, even the small one." Liska answered.
<<< Lots of places for them to hide. Dining hall, kitchen, conservatory, grow chambers, stables, kennels. >>>
Kendall started sniffing around aggressively, trying to find a scent trail. "They're very inquistive little boys, and they're getting into toddling age and wanting to be more independent. He went down towards the dining hall. "Freshest trail leads that way. We should let the people in the communications area know so that they can tell everyone to keep an eye out."

Coming up beside Kendall, Ebony flared her vents, taking in the scents from the scent trail that the NSX had found. So this is were her boys had gone. "We need to let them know," she nodded in agreement, "By now, everyone knows what they look like."
* * * * *
Kestrel and Falcon had circled the dining hall, then passed into the kitchen. What kind of wonders would they find here?
* * * * *
"Hello, Jason," said Delfina, coming up.

"Hello Delfina." Jason said. "Where would you like to be for the lessons?"
"Good to hear. Maybe he will grow large. I saw some of them having some large paws." Daniel said, recalling that he had read somewhere that large paws on pups meant that they would also grow up to be large.

"They'll grow to be a good size." Liska nodded. "Probably somewhere between their sire and dam in height."
Elvira Morales, the daytime crew chief for the kitchen, walked through the facility on a quick inspection before beginning lunchtime preparations. Soup was simmering, casseroles were baking and sandwiches were being assembled. If anything was in the kitchen that wasn't supposed to be there, she was not yet aware of it.
"I'll do that." Kendall nodded. He came up to the "radio shack" entrance, seeing Kyon Yi in the main seat. She turned as she noticed him waiting by the too-narrow doorway. "Hello.. Kendall, is it? is there anything I can do for you?"
"It's Ebony's little boys." Kendall answered. "They wandered out of our room while we were asleep, and we don't know where they could've gone to."
"Oh, my." Kyon went wide-eyed. "I'll put out a bulletin and a PA announcement for you."

"I would prefer the chasm," replied Delfina, "It's more out of the way."
* * * * *
The twins were poking their noses here and there, picking up these strange cooking smells. What was all this then?
* * * * *
Ebony was feeling more worried about her babies wandering off. She just hoped that they wouldn't get themselves into trouble by going someplace they shouldn't be.
She had followed Kendall up to the 'radio shack' and waited as he explained what had happened with her twins to Kyon Li.

"Okay. Let's go." Jason said, heading towards the chasm. Once they were there, he turned towards Delfina. "Would you like to learn masquerade first, or how to have focus?"
Aron got the call on his PDA about missing twins. He quickly radioed back to the radio shack about how to chirp at them to get their attention.
Daniel was about to reply, then got the call on the radio. "That can't be good." He said.
