Larvas eyes widened at the sound of Keros squeak and then he cracked a smile and laughed.

Eli, in the kitchen, paused for a second. Her eye brows scrunched together and her eyes went wide as she turned slowly towards the exit. She had that ‘What the Hell’ look on her face. She thought to herself about what she ‘thought’ she had just heard. Did Larva just laugh?? She has never heard him laugh... ever. She cracked a smile as well and went back to what she was working on with new warmth inside her. She decided that she would pry in his business later with an evil smirk in her head.

Larva watched Keros expression as he drew away from the Nekos adorable face. He made it a goal to himself to make Kero blush as often as possible.
Larva held Kero closely as the boys eyes cleared of tears. He held him securely and caressed the back of his head carefully with retracted nails. He just stared into the young ones eyes at his question with amusement. Why would he be afraid of me? Larva thought to himself… because he doesn’t know who or what I am… because he doesn’t know what I am capable of… because he doesn’t know where I am from. Larva knew that he would have to take his time with the young one, as he lovingly called him now, and it would be sometime before Kero fully experienced what Larva was and learned of his history. He brushed the boys cheek with the back of his hand and didn’t bother to answer his question. He just gave a slight smile and enjoyed his touch and his closeness.

“DINNER IS DONE!” Eli called out to the other room, a smirk on her face. She grinned cheesily as she helped bring the food out to the main hall. She was SO going to prob Larva for information later about what he was ‘doing’ in the next room while she was away. She observed the amount of space on the main halls dinner table and her eyes went wide. She looked back at Ha-chan. “We really have this many people here??”
