Hey there! This is Ren. Uh, the smaller one. Mini-Joker.
You can leave a message after the beep, I guess.
Or text me. Actually, please text me. Unless you're Raven.
Anyway. Do I make the beeping sound, or...? Uh. Beeeeeeeep.
[ Beep ].

Ren lets out a noise when Goro breaks from the kiss. Kiss...he pouts.

[fogboundcrow]

"Just needed to breathe." Here, have another kiss, Ren. It's okay.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Ren perks up. Kiss! He likes kiss.

[fogboundcrow]

Raven also quite enjoys kiss. That's why he isn't moving.

Shiro covers his mouth to muffle a giggle. "Well, they're certainly having fun."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"They are. Young love..." Wormwood nuzzles into Shiro's chin, rubbing his nubby horns into him.

Ren, likewise, presses his forehead into Goro's. He doesn't move to kiss again, but he's there.

[fogboundcrow]

The nubby horns are more than welcome. They're so uniquely Wormwood, that Hiro even offers them a gentle stroke.

As for Goro, he presses his forehead back, laughing breathlessly. "Do you want to give skating another try? We could always do something else instead, if you prefer."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Wormwood shivers-- oh, those pets-- warmth spreads down his--

Suddenly, he jerks his head back, taking his nubby horns out of range of Shiro's soul-melting touches. "I appreciate it, but uh." His lithe not-quite-wings tremble. "We should save that for the bedroom. I think..."

Ren's eyes, likewise, are about as big as dinner plates with red-flushed cheeks to match. "Mgh..."

[fogboundcrow]

Shiro squeaks out a gasp, face redder than a tomato. "I-isn't it a bit soon for—"

Goro coughs and sputters. "Erm. So, anyway! Next activity? It can be more skating, or we can do something equally exciting. The sky's the limit!"

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"I just wanted to let you know!" Wormwood yelps, all composure wiped off the face of the earth. "It definitely is too soon, I just-- I didn't know and you feel-- too good when you do that--"

"Let's." Ren squeezes Goro's hand. "Get on the ice and cool down."

[fogboundcrow]

"W-Well, I'm glad it felt good, at least! Though, obviously, lesson learned. We can save it for when we're older and wiser!"

Goro gives Ren's hand a little squeeze before slooowly rising back to his feet. "Yes. That sounds like an excellent idea."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Older and. Wiser. Yes..." Wormwood rubs his horns, trying to get the remnants of Shiro's touch off them. It's proving difficult.

Ren, meanwhile, stands up, stutters over to the ice, steps onto the rink, and willingly sinks down to the floor, putting his face and body directly on the ice.

[fogboundcrow]

Oh. That's... not quite what Goro anticipated. When he joins Ren on the rink, he crouches beside Ren.

"Need a moment?"

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Cooling off," Ren says, muffled by the ice.

[fogboundcrow]

"Would you prefer to the snow?" They could always throw snowballs, build a snowman... Any number of options, really.

Though something tells him that Ren is in no hurry to move.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"We put these whole outfits on and everything..." Ren grumbles.

[fogboundcrow]

"Then we can skate. Just take the time you need first." In the meantime...

Raven glides over (a bit shakily) to grab the antlers that fell off Ren's head.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Guess I'll have to...rein myself in?" He chuckles.

[fogboundcrow]

"Hormones are stupid and a curse." Though he grumbles, he gently pats Ren's shoulder. "But we will emerge on the other side of puberty."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Hormones...at least we aren't girls. I can't imagine having...that. Each month."

[fogboundcrow]

Ugh. His face crinkles further at that fact. "My little sister will have to endure that one day, and she doesn't have any other girls in the house to relate to." He takes a deep breath. "So, I suppose I'll have to do research when the time comes, so I can support her."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Hopefully she'll have friends at school?" Ren ventures, peeling himself off the ice. "My mom likes chocolate. And painkillers...maybe someone should invent painkillers dipped in chocolate."

[fogboundcrow]

"Chocolate isn't a terrible option, and I do like treating her..." After a moment, he shrugs, offering a hand if Ren needs it. "But she's only six, so it won't be for quite some time."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Not if my aunt has anything to say about it...she's always talking about how much time flies," Ren grumbles, wobbly, taking Goro's hand. "Where are Wormwood and Shiro?"

[fogboundcrow]

"That's a good—" He turns to look, and...

Shiro is twirling around on the ice with a big, shining smile.

"...Someone's having fun, evidently."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"They are. We should, too! C'mon..." Ren tugs his hand.
