Intro Orange
Titian unlocked his front door and lumbered in, closing it quietly behind him, but it was in vain. The lights in the kitchen were on and he should’ve known.
“Where did you go? Was it fun? Can I play with your bowtie? Hey! You slicked down your ‘hawk!” the bear’s nieces bounded in, nearly tackling him, hugging him and asking and endless amount of questions.
“Tammy! I thought you said you weren’t coming tonight!” Titian raised his voice above the girls’ and they hushed slightly, waiting for their mother’s reply.
“I’m sorry Tish, I forgot you had that business thing tonight,” she offered smiling and shrugging. His sister had a history for forgetting things so inconveniently.
“I guess it’s alright then,” he said with a sigh picking up the two girls, one in each arm, letting them pull on his bowtie and his Mohawk. He carried them into the kitchen where his sister was and set them down in separate chairs, one had his bowtie and he sighed and smiled. He was glad for his sister’s company but not all the time, he didn’t live with her but sometimes he would help her with the kids while her husband was out of state, which was a lot lately. He leaned on the back of one of the strong wooden chairs in his kitchen and smiled at his sister.
“Guess what,” he said to her, smiling.
“What?” she asked curiously, helping herself to the red grapes in a bowl on the table, her daughters following suit.
“Azureus and Scarlet finally hooked up,” he said, smiling wider than before as he watched her eyes bulge as she realized what that meant.
“Are you serious!? Finally! How did he do it?” she wanted to know immediately and the girls listened intently also.
“He gave her a red ankh necklace, it even matched her dress. She was beaming, they’re so happy. I’m so proud of them, they finally admitted it. They’re in love!” He exclaimed and smiled, standing up and raising his arms in a stretch, proud to have seen it all. “Bioletta was thrilled too,” he laughed a little before frowning slightly, “But Jade was none too pleased. Not at all.” He paused and then shrugged it off, “I better head to bed,” he looked to the girls, “and that means you too,” he smiled and hugged his sister with one arm before kissing the girls on top of the head, one for each before walking up the stairs and to bed.
