Well, this place was... different. Kadin had only just recently discovered the pachee in his kennels. He was pretty delighted to meet them (secretly, he would never admit this to anyone) and was curious as to what he could do with them around the labs. So, he'd done some reading. The males, apparently, were the ones with the pollen coming off their tails. That made sense, at least. The females were the ones with an opening in their forehead and no pollen on their tails. Apparently, you could bring your pachee together in a group and let them exchange pollen in order to make more pachee. Kadin couldn't see any harm in that. So he gathered up one of his girls and one of his boys. Along the way, he also discovered that some people let you borrow their pachee to make even more diverse babies. So, of course, he picked up one of those, too. And now here he was. In the breeding center (did it really need to be called that?) with three pachee bundled in his arms and some berries, too, since they liked them so much.
And he had no idea what to do next. Time to wing it.
He let the pachee down into their room, figuring that he couldn't be holding them the whole time for this to work. From what he'd read, the males would release their pollen and the female would have to accept it. But first they liked to get to know each other.

The three pachee all took off in different directions once they were down on the floor, which was just. Typical, he supposed. Still, it's not like forcing them together would make any of this happen faster, so Kadin sat down and decided to wait to see what would happen with them.
Sadie seemed interested in finding the tallest possible thing to climb so that she could see a lot! She scampered up on what amounted to a cat tree and sat on the very top, looking down on all the boys in the room. She snorted delicately, her leaf wings rustling around, before sitting down and beginning to carefully groom herself. She didn't see any need to go to any of the boys. It was their job to come to her, after all, and if they wanted her attention they could come up here for it.
Sno went for the toys. There was a big pile of them for all of them to play with but all he really wanted to do was jump on them! So that's what he did. He jumped into the big pile of toys and tried his best to burry himself. There we so many of them! He cuddled one plush after another, going deeper and deeper into the pile, his tail sticking out behind him and waving all over the place. He looked like he was having the time of his life, playing there by himself.
Snowy stayed by Kadin. He was the youngest out of all of them.

And maybe he was a little intimidated by the other pachee. But at the same time, he didn't know Kadin, so he didn't feel comfortable with him. So perhaps it would be more accurate to say that he stayed behind Kadin, sort of hiding from all the others and only peeking out when he heard some noise. Most of the noise was coming from Sno, who was digging in the toys. That looked like fun, but Sno had horns and was a bit scary. He wasn't sure if he wanted to play with him.
Sadie looked down at all that was happening and gave another little snort. No one was paying any attention to her! She was up high and she had beautiful wings, but for some reason they all looked much more interested in doing OTHER things, more so than they were interested in playing with her. She was a little bit hurt by that, but she didn't want anyone to know she was hurt, so instead of doing anything about it she huffed some more and turned her back on the room. That would show them!
Sno eventually found the bottom of the toys and was disappointed when all he got to was the floor. He'd kind of been expecting to find treasure or something! It was under a big pile, after all, it would only make sense if treasure was buried under all the toys! He shook himself, grunting when all it did was move some toys around him.

Hmm. Maybe he should get out from under this pile before he got stuck for good! That could be kinda dangerous, being stuck under a bunch of toys forever.
Snowy looked out from behind Kadin again and looked around the room. Carefully, he moved a little ways out from behind him. One of the other pachee was up on top of a tower. He could only see the very tip of the tail of another one since he was under a bunch of toys. Carefully, slowly, Snowy moved out from behind Kadin entirely. When nothing bad happened, he figured that it might be safe to explore a little. There was this big huge room, after all, and no one scary was paying attention to him.
The STILL weren't paying attention to her. Sadie huffed some more and eventually flopped down on top of the cat tower on her belly. Still nothing! She rolled over and flopped onto her back, wings rustling softly. Still nothing! She couldn't believe it! Here they were in this room and no one wanted to play with it! It really made her kind of sad, actually. She was so cute and she had these neat wings but no one wanted to play with her still. She'd had playmates before, though, and they liked her. Maybe there was something wrong with these males and that was why they didn't want to play with it. It made her kind of sad, she was lonely with no one to play with up on top of her tower.

Sno was getting a little worried that he was still under all these toys, but he could get out! He just knew it! He started carefully climbing on one toy after another. He was sure that if he kept climbing he would get out. He could see the light, even! Slowly and carefully he pulled himself out of the pile until suddenly his head popped out of the top! Ah! That was better! There was so much more room when he wasn't under a bunch of toys. Oh! And there were friends to play with! Being up high sounded good after being under toys for so long so he decided to check out the tower next.
Snowy was a bit startled when Sno suddenly came out from under his pile. He jumped back, but didn't rush to hide behind Kadin just yet. Snow didn't seem interested in him so many he wasn't dangerous. Instead, he went over to the tower. At least now Snowy knew what to avoid! And since Sno wasn't with the toys anymore, that meant that Snowy could go over to the toys! He liked toys, they were soft and nice to touch. So he went over there and decided that he was going to try to pick out his favorite one.
Sandie rolled around a bit more on her tower, feeling sorry for herself. Eventually she heaved a big sigh and rolled back onto her belly to see what everyone else was up to. Much to her surprise, someone was coming over! Finally!

Sadie sat up quickly and started frantically grooming herself. There was a male down at the base of her tower! If he came up here then they could play! She was really happy that one of them had finally noticed her. She waved her tail and her wings around, teasing him and trying to get his attention so that he'd come up and play with her faster!
Sno circled around the tower, wondering what the best approach would be. He could probably climb it easily, but wouldn't it be more fun to jump up onto the different steps? He was sure he could move really high up if he wanted to! He was a bit startled when, all of a sudden, another pachee popped up. She was on top of the tower already! And she looked happy to see him! Sno puffed himself up. Of course she was happy to see him! He was a lot of fun to play with! And she seemed like she really wanted to play. So he hopped up onto one of the first platforms of the tower and waved back at his new friend.
Snowy watched the other pachee with one eye as he inspected all of the toys. They all looked like lots and lots of fun but he really wanted to find a favorite in the batch. There were just so many to choose from! It was hard! He liked the ones that were colorful! He wasn't very colorful, himself, but he liked it when things were.

He carefully picked over the toys, examining all the most colorful ones to try and find out which one was his favorite. It was a good thing the other pachee were playing with each other now. He didn't have to share any of the toys that he was looking at when they were busy with each other.
Sadie waved her tail around, extremely pleased that he was waving back. But he was still so far down! They couldn't play easily like this when he was still basically at the bottom and she was all the way on the top. She hopped down one level and back up again, waving her wings around to show off how pretty they were. Wasn't this fun? She just knew that this male would love playing with her! She jumped down TWO levels next and then all the way back up, trying to encourage him to hop around, too.
Sno watched the female hop around in delight. She was so good at this! She clearly liked jumping around more than climbing, too, so he figured it would hurt to give that a try. He hopped up to the next level, but hopped down when it looked like she was going there next. Wow! She was fast! But then she was back up at the top of the tower so he quickly followed her, hopping up all the levels until he was on the top, too. Hah! He did it! There wasn't much room up here, but it was nice to finally meet her!

Snowy eventually narrowed it down to two toys. One was a rainbow orbaru plushie. He liked that it was soft and colorful and that he could pull on the ears between his paws. It was also big enough that he could hug it and feel like he was hugging someone else, but small enough that he could carry it around. It was perfect! But the other one was a ball. It was a rainbow ball that bounced when he threw it on the ground and it moved a LOT. He really liked batting it around with his paws and he! He had no idea how to choose!
Sadie spun in circles, delighted that he had come up to be with her. She left plenty of room for him to fit, too, even through her wings took up a lot of the rest of the room! It was ok though, he didn't seem to mind, he was even curious about her wings! She preened a little at that. She even was so bold as to go over to him and pat at his mane playfully with her paws. He was so fluffy! She had wings, but HE was fluffy and that was neat, too! They were going to have a lot of fun together, she could tell.
Oh, was she happy! Of course she was happy, after all, he was playing with her. He wiggled in delight when she petted his mane and tossed his head to show off his antlers, too.

He knew that they were very cool, one of the coolest parts of him. He wanted to make sure she could see them, too. He also really liked her wings. They were so big and green! That was a good color. The one thing he was a bit worried about was that it was hard to play all the way up here where there was no room to run around. He also didn't have any wings so it's not like he could fly down, like she probably could. He hopped a level down and back up, tilting his head at her. Then he hopped down again.
Snowy thought long and hard. This was so difficult! But, eventually, he decided to hold on to the ball, for now. He put the orbaru plushie in a safe space, right in one of the corners of the room, so he could find it again later. Because he knew he'd want to find it again. Then he battled at his prize, the ball. It moved! He was so delighted! He hit it again to watch it bounce and spin around the room. He chased after it, really fast because he could be really fast when he needed to be!
Sadie wiggled happily while he admired her wings. They were very worthy of being admired, she took very good care of them! Just like her daddy taught her to. He had wings, too, and he was also very proud of his wings. But then the other pachee hopped down and then back up.

Then he hopped down again. Oh? Did he want to play a game? She was very good at games. She could show him so, too! She hopped down to be on the same level that he was. Then she also hopped back up and down again. See! She was so good at these games, too!
Sno waved his tail around, happy that she was following him. He hoped down to another level and ran around in circles. He really hoped she'd keep following him! He wanted to go run around and play chase and other games with her! But it was really hard to play games on this tower, there wasn't space. He hopped back up and batted at her legs, teasing her and encouraging her to keep playing with him. They'd have a lot of fun once they were on the ground, he just knew it.
Snowy kept chasing his ball around. It was really very fast! He ran past the human who was watching them with a smile on his face and didn't even notice him, for once. It was hard to be nervous when you were too focused on chasing something. He really knew that now! He batted at his ball some more, pouncing on it when it tried to roll away. Then he picked it up in his paws and dropped it, shivering all over in excitement when it BOUNCED and he could go chase it when it tried to bounce away! These toys were great, he hoped he could sneak it home!

Oh! He kept hopping down! This was a fun game! She hopped, down, too, following him while he kept hopping down. She hopped back up a few times, too, just to show off that she knew this game they were playing! It was fun! She was happen she could have fun with him, he was really nice! Although it did seem like he wanted to get off the tower, which she was a little sad about. She liked the tower! She liked being up high! But if he wanted to play a game on the ground she guessed she could do that, too.
Sno was so happy she was following him! He kept jumping up and down (but mostly down) until he was all the way on the ground and she followed him even there! He was so happy! He ran around in a few circles to show her just how happy he was. Then he came over and nuzzled her cheek with his so she'd really know how happy he was! Then he hopped away, waving his tail up in the air, and hopped back to her. They could play down here! See how much more room there was to play on the floor?
Snowy pounced on his ball to stop it bouncing and wiggled in delight when it wiggled a few times until his paws before coming to a complete stop. He lift the ball up again and threw it down with as much strength as his little arms could manage.

But that was when he made his mistake. He sure didn't mean for his ball to bounce over to the other pachee! Oh no! They were scary! But... he wanted his ball! He bounced a few steps after the ball, but stopped a few feet away from them, stuck and not knowing what to do. His ball was a lot of fun and he wanted to keep playing with it, but they scared him!
Sadie was still sad about coming down the tower, but Sno was so nice and playful so she couldn't be sad for too long. Eventually she started waving her tail back, even rustling her wings and bouncing around with him. They DID have more space to play down here and she wouldn't mind doing some wrestling and chasing! Those were some of her favorites! But all of a sudden, a ball bounce right in front of her! Delighted, she jumped right on top of the ball and held it between her paws. Then she looked around to see where it had come from. It was the other male!
Sno was so excited to play with Sadie! But pretty soon there was a ball bouncing over where they were going to play and Sadie caught it! He stared, confused for a moment, before he looked over at the other male. Oh! He'd forgotten he was there. Yay! More friends! Sno waved his tail happily at the other pachee and nudged Sadie. They could all play together and that would be even more fun!

He watched as she looked from the ball to the other male to him again. He shook his male and waved his tail. Sadie seemed to come to a decision then and bounced the ball back to the other pachee. Oh! That looked like fun!
Snowy scampered back a bit when the ball started to come his way, but then he stopped. Wait a minute! She threw the ball back to him! He jumped on it before it could get away and looked over at the other pachee, nervous. He really really liked his ball, but those other pachee scared him. But he'd also almost lost his ball and they gave it back. He thought for a few moments and then seemed to come to a decision. He picked up the ball and bounced it again, watching it go towards the other pachee.
Sadie bounced a few times in place, pleased with Sno and pleased that she'd bounced the ball so well. She watched the other male contemplate the ball for a bit, wondering what he'd do. She was even more delighted when he bounced it back to her! She thought about letting Sno get it this time, but then decided since she was faster she should still be the one to get it. She pounced on the ball and rolled around on the ground with it, wings and tail and limbs going everywhere. Once she got back up again, she held the ball up high in the air! Then she bounced in between all three of them.

The chase was on!
Sno hadn't gotten to play with the ball yet! He took off after it right away! The ball looked like a lot of fun so he was off like a shot, chasing after it. He could tell that the others were right at his heels since they were all so fast. Sadie had her wings, too, so she was extra fast! But he was determined to get to it first because he didn't get to bounce it yet and he wanted to! So he ran as fast as his legs would carry him to try and get to it first.
Snowy wanted his ball! She threw it so they could all chase it! Well, he was scared of them, but this was a game he wasn't afraid of! He knew he was very fast to he took off after his ball as fast as he could to try and catch it. He really wanted to play with it, it was his very favorite toy, so he wasn't going to let anyone else get it first. He ran as fast as he could, he could see the other male right near the ball, too, but he was determined!
Sadie, meanwhile, actually hung back for this one. Oh, she still ran after the ball, but she stayed behind the boys and just watched for the most part. She wanted to see which one got it first! And she also wanted them all to be friends. That would be the most fun.
