Common Room

Mowgli laughs and puts his arm around Kiki before exhaling. Well...it's been a good some years since...all that happened... You know, obviously she's still hurting but...they've been able to recover...a little.

Nehelenia looks to Jiji and smiles a bit, leaning down to pet him. Hello Jiji!

Rapunzel walks into the Common Room, smiling a bit at the group. Hey guys...!

Kiki gave a small smile, and then gently hopped off her broomstick so she could wrap an arm around him in return, and lay her head on his shoulder.

"That's good," she murmured. She looked like she wanted to say more, but the witch opted to remain silent as she leaned against Mowgli.

Until Rapunzel spoke, and then Kiki lifted her head and smiled at the blonde. "Hi Rapunzel, hey Uncle Howl."

Howl smiled at Kiki, though there was a tiredness in his green eyes. "Hello."

Jiji leaned his ears back, and gave a contented purr as Nehelenia pet him. [Thank you for not trying to squeeze me to death.]

Rapunzel smiles and nods to Kiki as she looks to her and Mowgli. Hi you both. How is your apartment?? Treating you well??

Mowgli grins. Of course! ;D Kiki and I have all the privacy we could ask for~!

Nehelenia giggles as she continues petting him. Well, of course! I'm not a child anymore! I know how to treat animals!!

Kiki gave a light giggle. "Yep! It's great! The windows are big enough for me to fly right through them!"

Howl gave a small smile, and a chuckle. "I'm almost inclined to inquire as to what you'd need so much privacy for, but I'll restrain myself," he smiles fondly at Kiki. "You're a bit out of my jurisdiction, now."

Jiji gave a light purr at the petting. [^^ Thank you.]

Rapunzel smiles softly. That's good to hear. I was concerned it might have all been too big for you both.

Mowgli deadpans at Howl. ._____. Do you really want me to tell you what I meant? Like really?? Cuz i will. .-.

Nelly smiles. No problem!!

Kiki smiled at Rapunzel and shook her head. "No, it's perfect!"

Howl arched an eyebrow at Mowgli. "Considering Kiki is a grown woman and able to manage her own affairs, I will be content with not knowing."

Jiji purred again, and happily butted his head against Nelly's hand.

( Rapunzel and Howl are married by now, right? )

Rapunzel nods. Good! Glad to hear it! ^^

Mowgli pouts. Good, cuz I wasn't gonna tell you anyway. He looks around. Hey, where's my tiny step-sister-niece?? It's been forever since I've seen the kid!

Nelly giggles and smiles brightly as she picks Jiji up, placing him in her lap and petting his softly.

(Oh yeah. XDD They wouldn't have had a six-year long engagement.)

Kiki beamed and nodded. "And my delivery service is going really well, too! Though I wish some of the clients would stop hitting on me. -.-"

Howl chuckled a bit and then looked around. "She's always running off somewhere...Calcifer always keeps an eye on her, though, to keep her out of trouble..."

Jiji purred more, and his tail happily swung from side-to-side.

( Hey some people do that >.> )

Rapunzel stifles a giggle. O-oh really?? But isn't it flattering??

Mowgli raises his eyebrow. Ah? Better keep a close eye on her though! Don't want her getting hurt.

Nelly giggles. So Jiji, have a girlfriend yet??

(Yes, but I don't see Rapunzel and Howl doing that. XDD)

Kiki huffed. "Well, I mean, I guess it's good for business, but it gets real old when they start cat-calling me whenever I fly on my broom. -.- That's partly why I started wearing pants."

Howl nodded his head, his eyes darkening slightly. "I know. Calcifer is very capable, though."

Jiji sniffed. "I'm too old for that now. I spent my youth keeping a teenage witch out of trouble and now I'm old and cranky and still trying to keep a witch out of trouble. -.- I have no room for a girlfriend."

( Me neither. She was ready to put a ring on it. Mowgli might wait though. )

Rapunzel makes a disgusted face, not at Kiki but at the thought of the men cat-calling for a certain reason. Oh gods... I know about that all too well. Sorry, sweet-heart. Hey, you can always let Mowgli know if you're having trouble of course! He won't let them get away with it!

Mowgli shrinks back a bit, noticing his eyes. W-well...that's good... By any chance though... Did she happen to be hanging around any...forest spirits?

Nelly clicks her tongue. Awww, you sure?? I know a cute little kitty who'd love to meet you!

(XDD That's fine. Kiki's patient. ^_^)

Kiki gave a light laugh, and waved her hand. "Ah, I can take care of it. ^^ They're just annoying, they never really try anything."

Howl broke out of the somberness that had overcome him, and shook his head. "Calcifer never mentioned any..."

Jiji lazily blinked up at Nelly. "A cute little kitty, huh? She sounds a little young for me..."

( Okii. )

Rapunzel nods. Good then! Howl probably would've went nuts too..!!

Mowgli nods, scratching his head. O-oh...ok then..!

Nelly laughs, rolling her eyes. I didn't mean it like that! I mean...she is a..bit younger, but she is definitely an adult cat! I think you'd like her!

Kiki gave a small giggle, and nodded her head. "Oh, I know how protective Uncle Howl can be."

Howl nodded, and his brow creased. "Why? Has something come up involving forest spirits?"

Jiji swished his tail back and forth as he thought about this, and then gave a noncommittal yawn.

"Eh, sure. If anything, having another cat around might be nice. Not that I don't like you humans, but it isn't the same, you know?"

Rapunzel nods, laughing. Don't we all? Though I feel he's...gotten even more through the past years...if that makes sense?

Mowgli shakes his head. Not...any in particular. I just...had a suspicion... As long as Mei's alright. ^^;;

Nelly giggles. I understand you! Her name is Diana by the way..! I'll bring her to meet you tomorrow!

Kiki smiled softly and nodded. "Who can blame him, though..."

Howl nodded his head, though he only relaxed a little. "Very well..." he offered a small smile. "How have you been, Mowgli?"

Jiji flicked his ears, and blinked up at Nelly. "Diana, huh?" he yawned again. "Well, I'll make sure Kiki brings me along tomorrow, then."

Rapunzel nods. No, you're right. It makes me happy that he is so..

Mowgli shrugs. Eh, can't complain, y'know? Still looking for a place to work though..

Nelly bounces a bit before bringing Jiji up for a tight embrace. Yay!! That makes me so happy!!!!

Kiki smiled a bit and nodded. "I get that..."

Howl nodded thoughtfully at this. "Hmm...what job options have you considered already?"

Jiji squirmed a bit when Nelly lifted him, but then relaxed, and gently pat her arm with his paw. "Eh, no problem kid."

Rapunzel smiles and gives a little shrug. Though I hope he doesn't..blame himself for what happened...years ago. after a few days, we never...spoke of it again. Not even telling Mei she has an older brother..

Mowgli taps his chin. Eh...outside jobs. Stuff where I can transform on the sly
