She had gotten what she wanted from Corbis during the last breeding, and now it was her turn to have a Kair. Grinning from ear to ear, she hoped that this pairing would result in one, but if not, she had plenty of other root pairs for now to keep trying. At least she had the decency to try, not a lot of other people did at this point. Well, maybe it wasn’t decency, but it was something like that, she just couldn’t think of what to call it. Laughing a little at herself, she walked with Corbis and Maestro, her customized Kairfuryoo from the Labs, toward the Breeding Center, hoping to find something good in the Center for her, like a Kair at the end of the tunnel or something. That would really be nice and something a little unexpected, but at the same time, something she really wanted. It was a shame she had given the other one away, but she could always breed another one, and she would breed these two until she got one, certainly. It was going to be alright, they would hatch one sooner or later she knew, but until then, she hoped that things would work out between the two of them as time went on.

Renathan hadn't really done a whole lot of breeding lately, and that was probably a good thing. He had a ton of creatures that needed attention, and a whole bunch of stuff to do all the time so he probably didn't need to stuff his land with even more creatures all the time. However, he had offered to help Jack wrangle a few of her breedings since she had projects to work on. She had, after all, gifted him a baby kairfuroo to give Mintaka as a gift, and that was something he was thankful for and wanted to do some helping for her with. So when she let him know that she needed some company and to help wrangle a critter, he scheduled the time to help her out.
But, he was late again. Cue running down the breeding center road like a madman and catching sight of the pair of kairfuryoo while waving like mad. "Hey Jack!" He called out, catching up and trying to catch his breath. "So which one is Corbis?" He cracked a grin beneath the mask.

"Hey Renathan! I'm glad you made it!" she told him, reaching out to hug him if he was alright with that. When she pulled back, she put a hand on the black Corbie breed's head, "This is Corbis, she's pretty much the den mother of all Kairfuryoo..." Jack chuckled a little at that and shook her head a bit as she thought of all of the offspring they had at this point. "How's your baby doing anyway? I hope everything's alright so far! She's the baby's momma too," she said happily, opening the door for all of them to go through. Putting a hand on Maestro's back, she guided him in for a moment before holding it open for the other two, wondering what these babies would look like. At least they would be dark, she was hoping for a darker Kair from Corbis and Maestro at some point, after all.

Renathan was pretty glad that he had made it, even though it had taken him a bit longer to do his work today than he had expected. It was always that way, so time consuming! He was glad that maybe after a bit though, he'd have time to go do some things he'd neglected to do. He wanted to go out and visit Mintaka and the family again- but he never really felt like he had the time. He hugged Jack, grinning beneath his mask and sort of bumping the forehead of it gently against her shoulder if she would allow. "So this is Corbis, she's a pretty lady!" He was a sucker for black and red though, if he did say so himself. "Mintaka adores her! He's always wanted a pet of his own, and he fell head over heels for her." He admitted. He knew not to reach out and frighten Corbis too much. She wasn't used to him, and she was here to court this lovely male anyway! He still watched her, trying to figure out exactly what she was like. "So how are you, Jack?" He asked, in a good mood. The kairfuryoo seemed much more interested in Jack and the other Kairfuryoo than on Renathan, and that was probably a good thing.

"I'm so glad!" she told him happily, entering the Breeding Center with a smile on her face as she walked over to the counter with Maestro in tow. He was friendly enough and wanted to know everything he could, and he was interested in the man who had just come to them, so he wandered back over to him and sniffed at him a little to see what he could think about him. "I've been good! Busy as ever of course..." Jack said regretfully, "Though I have been into Houluh lately, been breeding with someone named Morgan. I think they mentioned you the last time?" Tilting her head at Renathan, she jotted down the information for both Maestro and Corbis and then leaned against the counter as she waited for them to process. All she knew was, she hoped this would go quickly, even though she loved spending time with Renathan, breedings were a little... long.

Admittedly Renathan was always a little bit behind on everything it would seem, so following Jack into the breeding center from the outside felt like a bit of a positive change. He hadn't been completely behind, after all. He wasn't exactly sure what the idea of 'kairfuryoo wrangling' entailed, though it was always possible that Jack had really just wanted a bit of a breather. It was kinda hard to look after two critters at once, let alone ones that Renathan had heard were so smart! It seemed like breeding such smart things was a little different, but well, it seemed like they did if of their own accord at least. He nodded when she said that she was busy. "Yes, I know how that one feels!" Renathan didn't really do houluh, himself, but he wasn't surprised to hear that name. "Ah, the kid, the kid. Yeah, real annoying kid, that one. I kinda sold some crystals to them one time- it's one of the biggest ways I make money actually... Well, let's just put it this way, I should have been WAY more selective in who I sold them to. That kid was not ready." He chuckled, feeling a little more lighthearted about the situation than he used to. "Some people just... Shouldn't be mages." He said.
Corbis was busy making 'eyes' at the male. She loved babies, and hoped to have some more! Or was it that she really loved eggs? Both, she decided, definitely both.

"Oh they don't seem so bad to me!" Jack told him with a laugh as she nodded toward the chairs, "Want to sit?" She walked over to the chairs with Maestro behind with Corbis, eyeing her as well. He knew her from the Kennel, but that didn't mean he knew what was happening here. Plus, what was with that look..? "I know a few who shouldn't be mages, but more or less people can be responsible with it so far that I've seen. It's certainly not for everyone," the woman told him as she sat down and stretched out her arms over her head with a little yawn, she was tired, she'd done a lot of work lately it felt, even though she probably hadn't in reality, "What all have you been up to anyway?" She shook her head to clear her thoughts and leaned forward to listen to him eagerly.
Maestro stuck around by the female Kairfuryoo, wondering about her in his own way. Was she sick?

Renathan put a hand playfully on his hip, knuckles first, and tilted his head to the side. "I dunno, one of those situations where I sort of feel like I've gotta be the kid's mom or something sometimes. Sheesh." It wasn't really his fault that he kinda had that parental thing going on a lot of the time anyway. He nodded and went to go sit next to her. It was a pretty good day today, if he did say so himself. Got some Jack time, and these weren't really even his critters that he had to worry about. Lucky him! "... You know, I think it was the type of magic chosen in this instance. Who swallows a chaos node, anyway?" Swallowing nodes was one of those things where... Well, it kinda took you over a bit, you had to learn to put a damper on things. It sure gave him more of a temper than he used to have when he swallowed the fire node! He hadn't expected the kid to swallow the thing.
"As for me though... Work." How boring! "I've had a lot of logistics to go over with my schedule, I've got a lot of orders backed up." He sighed, it was tough work sometimes.
Corbis bat her eyes at him, and gave a bit of a wave with her tail feathers. Silly! Did he not know what they were here for? Sure she had been a little forward... Oh, was he shy? He was the new guy, wasn't he?

Laughing at him, Jack shook her head, "Well, you do you, love." Oh, they swallowed it? "Swallowed a chaos node? Wow, that would explain a bit, I suppose," she said with a frown on her face. Poor Morgan... Well, it was their choice and they could do anything they wanted to with their life, she thought with a nod. "I'm going to make another hollow node soon," came her comment for a moment with a smile, "I don't have enough of any other kind of crystal, unfortunately. Was hoping for an order, but... I still only have one crystal so far, sadly." A frown then crossed her face, "You know if you need help, I can try to help you out a bit? I've always got time for you, you know."
Oh, they were here for something? He tilted his head and looked her over, just... what were they here for anyway...?

Renathan missed working in the Gemstone Workshop. He missed teaching the kids how to carve softer gemstones into little amulets. He missed getting onto teenage knuckleheads holding the tools too hard or too soft and hurting themselves. He missed bapping the older workers on the shoulder after a job half-way decently done. It was just... Sad for him to miss it so much. He got the hint that it wasn't normal for 'males' to be parental really, either, which made him feel kinda sad. "Oh, a hollow?" He said, grinning. "I've heard it takes less crystals to make hollow nodes... Oh, good luck." He said. Node creation was dangerous, but he knew that Jack had done it right many times before. "I've not been mining too often myself recently, sorry I haven't really been able to help." He said. He nodded. "Thank you though. I'm kinda down I guess? Missing the Gemstone Workshop a little." He looked at the sigil on the back of his hand nervously.
She made a soft noise at him, lowering her head and looking 'up' at him a little. We're here for babies, don't you know? Of course, that's what has happened the last few times I've been here... How about I get to know a little about you?

She missed it too, working with the stones and turning them into works of art. Slaving over metals and gems and tools, working out the best color combinations. Her face fell a little at that as well and she sighed, rubbing her tattoo on her arm sadly, "I miss it too, hun. I miss working with the stones and the metals and the tools, turning ordinary things into something lovely. I just wish..." Jack stopped herself for a moment and glanced over at him with mischief in her eye, though a hint of seriousness too. "You... remember what we talked about a long time ago? The one about how our different peoples take significant others? What... what if I asked you to marry me sometime?" she asked him, glancing over at him for a moment but keeping her eyes mostly on her hands.
Maestro flopped onto his backside for a moment and stared up at her. Her coy look stirred something inside of him and he didn't know what to do with that information. Babies? With her? And before? The Kairfuryoo looked blown over.

Renathan wasn't really expecting the Gemstone Workshop to come back at this point. It had been how many years now? He wished it would, but it was beginning to look more and more bleak. He'd always been very positive about it up until recently, but it was beginning to not really seem like it would ever come back. "Me too." He mumbled, managing to look only a little crestfallen with that mask on his face. However, it kind of fell away whenever Jack spoke her next words. Wh... What? Like, marriage-marriage? That thing that Pethians did that was... sort of a contractual life partnership, right? He blinked, managing to hide his shock in only two blinks, and then flushed crimson hot beneath his coat, from head to toes. "I uh- Isn't that, you know, the life partnership thing?" He was aware that perhaps that reaction could be taken wrong, but he wanted to make sure he was right about it before assuming.
Oh, he was sitting down now! She stayed standing for a moment or two, before flopping down herself. She was okay with dealing with him maturely. Of course, we don't have to if you don't want to! We can make them wait all we want. I mean, I love taking care of babies, but I'm sure that you don't have to be the one to help me out if you don't feel ready.

"Yeah..." Jack said slowly, rubbing the back of her neck and not looking at him still, wondering what she would do if he didn't like the idea. She would give up on it, she wouldn't pressure him into it, but still, it... might be nice, in the future...? Honestly, she really did love him and she didn't see him often enough, the thought of being married and living together, well, at least they would get to see each other every day, right? Jack felt a blush creep up her neck a little and forced it back down with slow breathing as she thought about what to say next. "I mean, it's not like I'd pressure you or anything..." she finished hurriedly.
Maestro stared at her and then nuzzled forward a little. He liked the idea of babies, but he wasn't sure what to do with them. She... she would help him out with it, right?

Oh, Renathan thought. Oh-oh. For a moment, that's really all he thought in his head, it kind of felt empty and stuffy at the same time. He glanced up at her, feeling finally that rush of emotion he was unable to feel at first due to shock. "You know... It's completely different than anything my people do. But you know what?" He paused for a moment, thinking, playing with the webbing between his fingers nervously. "I would have stayed in Lirosse if I wanted to be with my people. But I came here- and you know what? I love you." He said, grinning beneath the mask, feeling a little aflutter. "If it would make you happy, it would make me happy." He said, his ears tilted forward, looking at her.
Oh, a nuzzle! That was nice, she thought. Of course I would help you out! I really love babies, and you wouldn't have to go through it alone. She conveyed this proudly. She was a mother many times over by this point, after all.
