Another day, another trip to the breeding centre! Jewel was triumphant when he pushed open the doors that morning, with a fuzzy bundle of joy in his arms. Shimmer was one of his proudest accomplishments as a breeder - she was silky, with beautiful markings and a sweet temperament. What more could you ask for? More. More babies, of course. Why stop at a handful? What was even better was that he'd found himself a partner that he was quite fond of. Bors was... different, from many of the city's inhabitants, but the fae enjoyed that. It was a breath of fresh air. If he had to deal with one more humanish giving him a filthy look in the street, he'd lose it. Plus, there was no chance of him missing Bors' arrival at the meeting point. It would take a special effort to gloss over a massive yeti man appearing in the waiting room. [1]

He had been contacted again by the small one, and who was he to say no when it came to his breedables? He stroked his beard as he walked with Bush on his shoulder and thought about it a little, hopefully the small one would come and frequent his business when it was up and running, and he thought about bringing it up today, but that would require him to talk a lot, and face it, that wasn't his cup of tea. Bors sighed a little and gave a passerby the side eye as they gasped and hurried away as he did so. Shoulders slumped a little, he trudged toward the Breeding Center and plucked Bush off of his shoulder and into his hands before attempting to carefully open the door to the Center and pushing his way through the doorway. These doors were no made for him. "Small sparkle," he grunted, coming up to the tiny one.

Ah, just as expected. Jewel beamed the second he heard the door creak on its hinges - no one he knew did that except Bors! It was equally amusing to see the receptionist of the centre looking vaguely aghast. Either that, or she was mentally calculating how much she'd have to pay in damages if the uthax took the door with him next time. "Hey, buddy! Looking scarily large as ever," The fae chattered as he approached, bumping his fist against Bors' arm. Shimmer was less excited. Intimidated by the hulking size of the stranger, she buried her fuzzy face into the crook of Jewel's arm with a mournful 'boop'. "Hey, no need to be scared, girl. Bors is cute and fluffy." The lady at the desk was still side-eyeing them when he went to collect the paperwork from her. She was doing her best not to be obvious about it, but Jewel could tell nonetheless, and had to refrain from laughing. [3]

Bors glanced down at his arm when he felt a small tickle and then lightly tapped Jewel on his back. It would probably move him a little, but... he was at least trying to be gentle. Right? Bush hopped out of the man's hands and fluttered down to the ground so he could a little more easily see the female, and he booped, wondering what was wrong. He was used to the big Uthax, but she might not be. Switching his view from Bors to the female again and again, he shrugged and then nuzzled up to Bors' leg, hoping to show her that he wouldn't hurt her.
The giant Uthax leaned down to get a better look at the female and then held out a massive hand for her, "Bors not hurt bright one." She probably wouldn't understand, but that was alright either way. At least the sentiment was there he figured.

Jewel was catapulted forwards a step or two by the pat to his back - it was lucky that he prided himself on his balance, because otherwise he may have ended up face first on the floor. It made him laugh, though, and he beamed up at Bors. "See?" He murmured to Shimmer. The female peeked her head out to look at the hand offered to her, and leaned forwards to sniff at it. "Bors is a cool guy. Give him a chance, huh?" Shimmer wasn't sure, but scooted forwards, and then crawled into Bors' palm. Her big eyes were turned on him in a silent plea not to hurt her... but there was another orbaru there, and he wasn't scared. That was a good sign! Jewel took to scribbling down details on the forms while Shimmer grew accustomed to the uthax, occasionally casting a glance back at them to make sure all was okay. [5]

Bors' eyes flickered when the Silky wandered onto his palm and he stayed as still as he could while she situated herself. Bush booped and pulled himself up a little in order to see her better, but wasn't too into it at the moment and fluttered his way over to the smaller person, pawing at him a little to get attention.
Carefully, slowly, Bors reached out with a forefinger to pat Shimmer gently on the head, he had quite a bit more control over a single finger than he did over his whole hand. Hopefully it wouldn't be too bad, but he knew it could overwhelm her as well. "Bors good, bright one," he told her again, soft but with a firm tone to his voice. Firmness was good when it came to animals, it got the point across at least, or at least that's what he had found so far. "Small sparkle good?" Bors asked, glancing over at his friend.

Once the forms were done and accounted for, Jewel could turn his full attention back to Bors and Shimmer. She withered a little when she saw the uthax's finger coming towards her, but upon realising the petting was nice and she wasn't being hurt, she booped cheerily. Not as scary as she thought! Anyone who would stroke her couldn't be bad. Ah, but something was demanding the fae's attention! He looked down and smiled when he saw the little male - what a funky looking dude. Bush was lavished with pets just as Shimmer was. "Me? I'm sweet, buddy. How've you been?" He gently examined the male's wings, as best as he could without pulling them or causing distress. "It's been a little bit, huh? Thought I would've bumped into you sooner, since you're pretty hard to miss, but I've been a little busy, so... anyway, let's get going!" The receptionist had passed them the key to their room, so all that was left to do was go! [7]

He frowned a little when she recoiled, but then seemed to understand what he was doing and leaned into his little pets. Bors smiled brightly, his long tusks jutting up from his bottom jaw and looked over at Jewel with bright pink eyes. Things were good so far, and as long as he was making friends, he would be even better, he figured. "Bors good, not busy," Bors said with a little frown when he realized he hadn't been doing much lately. It had been boring, it would seem.
Bush booped happily and wove between the Fae's legs as best as he could while still being petted. If he'd been a cat, he would be purring loud enough to bring down the building!
Ah, they were ready to go. Bors gave a small nod and hefted himself to his feet, all while trying to keep Shimmer calm in the palm of his hand, "Calm, bright one."

Jewel was bouncing off down the hall in an instant, once he was certain that Shimmer was getting along with Bors. Of course it would be frightening for her, meeting someone so different to her usual company, but it would be good for her to broaden her horizons! As it stood, she was snuggling into Bors' hand, realising that he was in fact covered in fuzz and comfortable to sit on. "C'mon, little dude," The fae gestured to Bush as he opened the door for them, and then looked at the uthax with a grin. "You too, big dude." The rooms didn't get any more exciting with time, but the familiarity was nice. It was worth it to see Bors fit through the doorway alone, never mind anything else that would come of the breeding - if it was a little mean spirited of him to enjoy the struggles of his friend, he was oblivious.

Bush was super excited and flapped his wings as he did a little hop walk after Jewel. He couldn't wait to see what this place was like! What were they doing here? What were they going to do anyway? Where were they?
Bors nodded and squatted down to let Shimmer off of his hand whenever they reached the room, he needed both hands to get through the doorway. He thought eventually the Center might fit a room with a door that would handle him, but until he could ask about it, he would deal with it. Pushing the doorframe a little, he heard the frame groan a bit and then snap back into place as he got through. There, at least he managed this time, though he would hate to gain a little weight if only because he wouldn't be able to fit through a door at all! Grinning a little at himself, he looked down at Jewel and motioned toward the chairs, "Does want sit?"

Bors' entry was every bit as fun to watch as Jewel had expected. He grinned with unrestrained glee when he heard the doorframe groan with the effort of staying in one piece - nothing got broken, but he wasn't sure whether that was a disappointment or not. "Oh, sure!" He took the smaller of the two chairs, for obvious reasons. It was a surprise that the furniture had withstood Bors so far, but a relief, because they'd probably get hit with repair fees if anything was destroyed. "C'mon, Shimmer, you wanna come get to know your new friend? He's a sweetheart, I promise." The female was a little shy. Bors looked especially tall from the ground, but he had proven himself to be nice, so she wasn't concerned about being around him any more. Her attention instead went to Bush, who'd escaped her notice almost entirely so far. Who was this stranger...? [11]

Ignored? Him? Bush booped in alarm and hopped around, trying to flutter around the female as he showed off a little. Weren't his wings the greatest? He reached out to touch her fur and booped happily, she was so soft, that was great!
As he considered the furniture for a moment, Bors finally shrugged and simply sat down on the floor. It was better than possibly breaking the chairs he thought, he didn't have all that many credits yet still, so he wanted to keep hold of the ones he had for now. Leaning back against the wall, the large Uthax looked at the Fae and tilted his head, "Small sparkle have many pets. Has more than seen?" That was the most he had said to anyone so far it seemed, and he grunted a little as he stroked his beard, the beads clicking together that symbolized the many feats he had accomplished in his years.

Ah, yes. Jewel thought Bors was very sensible to take the floor, rather than a seat - even if it wasn't quite as comfortable, the floor wasn't liable to break, and in any case the uthax had plenty of fur cushioning his butt. He drew his legs up to cross them as he listened to his friend. "I've got too many pets, buddy. I was dumb enough to take a bunch of them in, and now they're everywhere..." Not all of them were as small and cute as orbaru, either. "I have a few orbaru now, but I've also got others. Like chiryma. What about you, you got anything else?" Shimmer was bemused by the male. She'd never seen an orbaru who looked like him before, but those wings were cool... she wished she could flap around like that! When he touched her, she looked bashful, and shyly reached out a paw to return the favour. [13]

As he listened to the Fae, he thought about his own Kennel. He had quite a few animals it would seem, but none of them were very impressive. Stroking his beard, the beads clicking together pleasantly to his ears at least, he slowly answered, "'chee... oak bird? Water snake." They might not be the proper name for them all, but that was fine, he was sure Jewel would understand what he was saying, or at least he hoped so. He also had a Sarane Hen and a Houluh, as well as some Lola he had bred from the Lotine, but he wasn't quite sure how to say all that. "Few more, much good," Bors nodded, finishing it up. Hopefully Jewel would get the gist of the kinds of animals he liked.
Aww, she was shy! Bush booped happily and patted her head, much like the Uthax did to him whenever he felt that way, and then nuzzled up to her as best as he could.
