Renathan scrambled to get down to the breeding center in time. He had issues getting here the last time, since Lazare was being such a butt, but today he was bringing the surprisingly much more mild mannered Jack-O-Lantern. He looked like he should be tougher than he was, but really he was a sweetie. Despite the skull face, he was the cutest. Renathan was bringing him for a breeding to one of the kids that Fool had made with one of Jack's females, Renathan didn't have a whole lot of females from the red panda line, and Kingfisher had already been bred this month, so he'd really been looking out to find another red panda female to breed Jack-O-Lantern with. Renathan was particularly interested in getting some more red panda blood in his breeding system, and this seemed to be the best way to do it. "Goodness, I can't believe we managed to make it on time!" He managed to wheeze out, standing at the door with his palm on the handle. He didn't even have Jack-o-Lantern in a carrier, he just had him tucked under one arm, because he hardly had time to go get him after work.

Jack walked along the sidewalk for awhile with Panda on a collar and leash. She smiled a little to herself and wondered what was going to happen with this breeding, it would be an interesting mix, that was for sure. Part of her wondered if she would be late, but the other part of her told her that Renathan'd had to work a little late today, so there was a chance she would be early. Given that, however, she would probably, in fact, be late. Giving a little laugh, she hurried up with Panda waddling behind her and then they finally reached the Breeding Center, seeing Renathan touching the door. Giving a broad smile to him, she wondered what would happen if she told him... She shook her head, no, that wouldn't work out for her at the moment, he might know, he might now know, but that was fine. "Hey Renathan!" Jack told him with a dry mouth. That seemed to happen around him...

Renathan knew, he just KNEW that Jack would be there before him. He had kinda panicked and ran a bit, just a little bit not a lot he swears. Okay, yeah, maybe he had ran a ton. Renathan turned around when he heard a noise, and once he saw that it was Jack, he tried not to look as worn out as he felt. "Jack!" He said, a bit in shock, but it was a pleasant shock. He was trying not to be nervous, and was failing. It was amazing perhaps that she still made him feel this way after all this time. He gently moved Jack-O-Lantern over in his arms to better be able to grab and hold the door for her. It looked like she had the female on a leash! She was certainly very cute. He hadn't seen her in a long time, and even then he'd only seen her for a short amount of time. "She's adorable." He says.

"Thanks! So is he," Jack told him with a smile, reaching out to scratch the little male under the chin. He was a little smaller than Panda, it seemed, but then again, most of the version two Orbaru seemed a little smaller to her for some reason. "This is Panda! Hopefully you'll get what you're wanting out of them," she told him, slipping herself and Panda through the door as he held it open and then smiling at him as she lead the way to the reception desk. She couldn't wait to get this going, she wondered what it was going to be like to be with Renathan again for awhile, the last breeding he'd been so distraught still it seemed, and she didn't know what to do for him. Now she wouldn't bring it up, old wounds and all that, but she still wished she could help out. She just... she didn't know how to fix things, and it bothered her, not like she would let on.

Jack-O-Lantern was indeed a little smaller. He actually looked a little intimated by the female, when he caught sight of her. He had been around a female before that was bigger than him, but for some reason this one reminded him of the same smell that those mean ones with the reddish backs in the kennel had. Would she be mean to him, too? Renathan felt the black orbaru shake a bit, and he gently patted him to reassure him. He'd been bred before, surely he wasn't going to get cold feet today. They had time to get him less nervous, at least. "Panda is a really good name, she's adorable." He added, and then he smiled. He was glad that she thought that Jack-O-Lantern was cute. A lot of folks thought he was scary. "I'm glad to see you! And of course I hope you like the kits too, I'm hoping you get one you want too... Oh, my pairs have been very fertile, recently..." All of his pairs had produced surprise kits, this month. He seemed a lot happier today, than he had been, at least.

Panda reached up on her haunches to paw at the little male, but she wasn't being mean or anything, she was trying to be friends! She booped a little and tilted her head, one ear flopping over her head to rest on the other. Jack chuckled at her being cute, and then finished filling out paperwork and turned to hug Renathan really quickly. She had missed him terribly, but understood he wanted to be alone for awhile, even though it had hurt to do it. Honestly, she knew what it was like, and she didn't fault him for wanting some time to himself though. "You know, now that I think of it, my last breeding had a third kit as well. I wonder what's going on," she mused as she glanced around for seats next to each other. They'd changed up the appearance of the waiting room a little it seemed, and included a little play area for Orbaru to get to know each other before they were taken to the back to breed.

Jack-O-Lantern looked nervous, but he didn't really have any say when Renathan put him down so that he could play with the female. He looked anxious for a moment, glancing up at Renathan with his amber eyes, and then he turned towards the female. She looked... Nice. He ears were cute. He booped at her, and gently raised a paw in return, his tail flopping on the ground. She did seem nice, but he would probably be wary for a little while. "Huh, a third kit in yours as well?" He considered it for a moment. "I bet it's something hormonal. Or maybe in the air?" He mused, out loud. He followed her into the building and then smiled. "I am super glad to see that they changed it up in here. I have been having trouble with my pairs, lately." He said, honestly. He had a patch of missing for on his arm, after all.

"Or in the water," she added as she sat down, letting Panda off of her leash with the stern addition of coming back when she was called. Jack knew she didn't understand the words, but hopefully she understood the tone, Jack tried to raise her animals well and would mind her when they needed to, she just didn't know if that was going to be how it all worked out or not. "Oh that's not good!" Jack told him with a frown as she crossed her ankles far in front of her, "It took me awhile to breed my last pair, but I'm not having behavioral issues with them or anything, is that what you mean?" Either way it wasn't a good thing she figured, but there were ways to get around them no matter what. She smiled a little again as Panda waddled and hopped off to play on the little playground, her eyes fond.

Renathan chuckled at that; it was certainly possible. He hadn't thought of it, but now that he was thinking of it, it was a saying in common, right? 'It must be in the water'. He sometimes forgot about sayings in common pretty easily, since it wasn't his mother tongue. Jack-O-Lantern had been pretty polite, walking alongside Renathan. He hadn't been trained to, but he saw Renathan as a bit of a protector, and he felt more safe when he was around. He liked to be as near as possible. Jack-O-Lantern looked over at the female again, and this time invited her to play. He'd give her a good chance, he loved to play! "Yeah, pretty bad behavioral issues. But then again, I think it is because I've been nervous. They must be able to tell." Most of his creatures probably could. He sat down next to her. "Bad things keep happening on the way here." He said, frowning wistfully beneath the mask.

"I'm sorry..." Jack said with a frown, sitting up again, "Anything I can do to help? I could help you train if you'd like?" Reaching out tentatively, she touched his arm softly, feeling his fur under her fingertips. It felt nice, she always loved the feel of his fur against her, and wished... Nope, not going there, doesn't matter, probably never will, it's fine. Jack felt a blush coming up to her face a little with just the thought of it, but quickly pushed down the thought and emotions that came with it, she couldn't feel that way about him, it was impossible, things just...
UGH
Jack huffed a little and then shook her head to rid herself of her intrusive thoughts, and then looked over at Panda, who was happily booping away in front of Jack-O-Lantern, making her smile a little. Panda was a sweet girl, she knew, and she hoped they would have some pretty babies no matter what. Good thing she had brought a berry!

Renathan smiled softly beneath the mask, and shook his head gently. "It's okay, I really appreciate it. It's mostly Lazare, I gave him a battle potion two months ago now, and he's been a mess. Of course he's close to me because he's a custom, and I guess it's the mixture between him being close to me, and uh, you know. The pit thing." He whispered the last bit, looking really embarrassed and sheepish in the way he held his body. He reached up, almost without thinking, as she touched his arm, and let her have his hand. He did enjoy having her around, but once he noticed it he felt embarrassed a bit. He didn't take his hand away though, if she'd hold it, he'd be fine of course.
He was being such a dummy. Jack-O-Lantern on the other hand seemed to be having an easier go at it, booping back at her. He thumped a foot excitedly, causing a teeny tiny, almost imperceptible, spark.

"Right, I didn't know you'd done that! Well that's exciting, he's probably very temperamental at this point. Definitely some training in the future I'd say then," she said happily, squeezing his hand to show she supported him no matter what. He'd done what he'd had to do in the Pit, and she wasn't going to be the one to keep bringing it up. "He just needs some basic obedience I'd say, it might help him have an outlet in things too if he learned at least one fighting move, and maybe breeding would take some of that added hormones out a little," Jack added as she sat up a little straighter.
Panda jumped back when the spark happened, but then grabbed at his back paw to see if he could do it again. She booped excitedly, that had never happened with her! She nuzzled up to him for a moment to prove she liked him, and then nudged at his back paw again.

Renathan realized that he hadn't really seen Jack all that much sense he did that, and that when he did, he had completely forgotten about Lazare! Woops, that was a huge issue. He felt a bit sheepish, and used his empty hand to rub the back of his nape. "I'm definitely going to have to train him. I've had him for so long, that it's a bit embarrassing. He was just so sweet and easy to forget about before the potion... Well, not forget completely about, just, you know. Forget that he needed to learn his manners." He was a bit tongue tied, he noticed. He listened. "Obedience would definitely be helpful, I'll definitely work with him. He's been bred a couple of times since, but I think he'll need more in the future." That was true, he would love to breed him more often. He was his favorite, even now.
Jack-O-Lantern looked down. He was a bit surprised himself! He always forgot that he could do that. He didn't like to do it often, because it scared other orbaru a lot. But when the female seemed excited and even wanted him to do it again, he felt a surge of confidence. He stepped back just a bit, and thumped once, and then twice. On the second time, a spark lit again!

"I know the feeling..." Jack said sheepishly as well, rubbing her arm, "I have so many it's easy to forget them all at this point." Shaking her head, she only managed to chuckle a little before giving a little yawn and leaning her head on his shoulder. It was a nice day outside, though a little late, really, to start a breeding. The last time she had done this, however, things had gotten complicated. That was fine though wasn't it? She smiled a little and wondered if she should say something, but she was comfortable and things would be fine after awhile. No matter what happened, she knew how she felt, she just.... didn't know how to tell him, if she hadn't already told him, that is.
Booping and bopping around the male, Panda was thrilled with the sparks he produced, and she stomped her own paw to see if she could produce the same thing. Sadly, no, but she still nuzzled up to him to tell him she liked him so far!
