            Though his eyes were closed, he flicked a hand in acknowlegement to Hyperion's nod. Opening them, he gestured for the family to follow the elder, waving his fingers at Lash, the unknown female, and Raven.
            "Looks like we're going. Thank you for the talk, entertainment and hospitality. Also, for the offer of cookies. Do you have a couple to spare? I've never had one, and I have a feeling a few will want to try them as well."
            He waited for every member of his troupe to leave before him, making sure no one made a particular scene, and decided to finish the farewell while he could.
            "Maybe we'll see you again. Who knows." He smiled.

            Though she agrees with her family’s sentiments and does want to get going, Lash’s offer of cookie’s and milk catches her ears. She glances at him, but knows that if her family is leaving she won’t stay behind.
            Besides, she doesn’t particularly like the other being. Doesn’t trust him.
            She has always wanted to try cookies though...
            However, upon seeing Hyperion turn and leave, and hearing her other family members dismiss themselves, Cayne turns and follows her brother, albeit with a slight bit of sadness to miss out on the cookies.

            He walked over to Hyperion, smiling gently.
            "Looks like we pissed them off too much. Pity. There's no fun to be had in a one sided conversation." Vita sighed, and shrugged. "Can we go soon? I'm fairly bored, and we've gathered plenty of charge." The last part he said so quietly that even Hyperion would have to strain his ears. He then twisted away, and leant against a tree trunk, closing his eyes. His role was over, most likely.

            Cayne glances at Somnus and grins. “A mansion sounds great.” She turns back to Hyperion, listening and letting him and Vita do the talking.

@NexHyperion @1Bite2Me @All
            Vita smiled, amusement lighting in his eyes. His family's entertaining mood was catching on to him.
            "I'm sorry, do you think I'm going to be intimidated by such a comment? You are sorely mistaken. You don't seem to understand our essence." He caught Hyperion's glance, and at his command, relinquished all the amusement in him, leaving him calm once again.
            "I'm afraid it is as Hyperion has pointed out. You seem to have contrasting feelings. You seem to think that we are too nice, and then too abrasivee and insulting. Whcih do you prefer? The information will be of great use to me in the future." He directed his talk towards the individual who had been the subject of their teasing.

            Grinning widely, Cayne rocks back on her heels a little bit, listening to her family’s banter as they speak to the two outsiders. Even as the ‘king’ speaks, attempting to threaten and browbeat them, Cayne’s grin doesn't waver. 
            Only when the realization that he is insulting her Hyperion registers does her grin fall into a dark scowl of menace.
            Her scowl turns to mirth again almost immediately though, upon Raven’s attempt to shut them down. ‘an angel wolf hybrid’? She thinks the words, doesn’t say them, but her amusement and total lack of being intimidated surely show in her eyes. She opens her mouth to say something to that effect, but Hyperion speaks before she can. 
            The sound of the recording is pure amusement, and she revels in the way her brother uses the other being’s own words against them. At Hyperion’s final command, Cayne does her best to wipe the smile from her face.
            She doesn't want to make it seem as if they’re validating the ‘king Lash’s words about bowing to Hyperion, but he is the oldest and above all, the most respected. He is their leader, and Cayne is, above all, loyal.
            She shuts her mouth and straightens her shoulders, staring steadily at the two beings not of her family, as if she no longer has any care for what they say and do.

            Vita chuckled quietly to Hekate's whisper. "That is very true. I was just trying to make sure that you all remembered we weren't here to spark a fight. But it is inevitable, due to our personalities, that we clash with others. If he starts it, then give it back to him." Vita shrugged. It wasn't his place to tame his family, and nor did he want to. He was simply better at hiding his amusement than the rest of them. 
            
            @1Bite2Me @Nyctophile-
            
            "My family resembles a pack of wild dogs. I cannot say I disagree with them honestly, but there is nothing for it. We are not your average interaction, I am afraid." He sighed, shrugging again and once more returning his hands to his pockets.

            Though a bit downed by Vita’s reassertion that they shouldn’t provoke the other beings, her amusement doesn’t lessen; in fact, it is heightened by the following events. As she is close enough to hear Hekate’s words to their brother, this is one source of it, but she has to restrain actual laughter yet again when Raven tries to deny what has already occurred. At Hyperion’s response, her laughter can no longer be contained.
            Cayne tosses back her head and laughs, several short, mirthful sounds. After a moment she looks at Raven, leaning a little closer to Hyperion as she does, and says half-softly, “as we’ve already seen his affinity for men, I’m sure we know just how close to his lap this ‘king’ keeps his dog.”
            Too late, she recalls again Vita’s words about restraint, but doesn’t really care.

            "Hyperion, our purpose is not to provoke them." Vita pointed out. That being said, he barely contained the amusement he felt, a small smile flickering around his mouth. They were not the best people to pick a fight with.
            
            @Nyctophile-
            
            "I would advise against becoming a further subject of my brethren's amusement. Please cease. I am being polite because I felt that it was the best way to deal with your wariness, but I can become less formal and 'nice' if you wish."
            
            @1Bite2Me 
            
            Vita glanced at Lash, wondering what his reaction would be.

            Cayne smirks faintly at Vitas’ words concerning ‘King’ Lash, as well as his pointing out what they had already noticed about the other being. Once Raven responds to her brother, Cayne can no longer contain her amusement. A full fledged smile stretches across her lips, as she is highly entertained by the idea of this other being expecting sympathy from /them/, especially from Hyperion. She has half a mind to say something to him herself, but decides to let her brother have his fun instead.

            Vita smirked slightly at the reply, and converted it in a general smile. "I am flattered. It is good to meet you, King Lash. Tell me, what are you king of?" He asked, genuinely curious. "And also, who is your companion? He seems interesting, but I do not appreciate the build up of energy he is gathering. I truly hope he doesn't mean to unleash it on us."
