Valentine was not quite accustomed to social situations yet, as he had really only interacted with his family so far, but he could sense the tension between his own parents and Feliks. It made him... uncomfortable. Not because he knew the implications of what was being said, though, just because everyone else seemed uncomfortable, and that usually meant bad stuff. The white puppy's fur fluffed even more than it had been for a moment before it resettled. Masie's invitation was far too enticing to fixate on the strangeness of the situation at hand.

Val yipped as he bounded after the raptor, hoping that Leo was following but not bothering to check in the moment. Where were they going? Was there another island to explore? He was incredibly eager to go, but more greetings stopped him in his tracks.

Kian was the first face he snapped his attention to. He studied the fae with incredible scrutiny before giving up, focus melting to a smile. It seemed that his nerves had left him at that point.
"Uncle Kian!" Valentine repeated, his voice an energized yip. "Why d'ya talk like that, by the way? All like.. dee-ya da hoo-it, and all."
He wasn't sure he had ever picked up on Seamus's language. Or, at least, not yet, if the butchering of his pronunciation could make it any more clear. However, his mind shifted again at a new arrival and oh jeez this guy was huge. The white canine had to look all the way up to even get a glance at Lucifer's face. The size was intimidating, but Val was determined to be brave. If Leo could do it, he could too.

"Hallo!" He was yelling. He hoped the dragon could hear him all the way up there. "'M Valentine!"

Don't be a complete moron. He turned on his heels. Who was being a moron? Was it him? Was it Feliks? It seemed that the griffon was under fire for something, but Valentine couldn't tell what. Oh well. Not his problem! His rosy gaze turned back to Masie eagerly, ears flicking and tail wagging. Hopefully Leo was excited to go on the adventure too!

"SPEECH"

♛ IT'S A FUNNY THING, IT'S NEVER LONELY. I REALLY CAN'T COMPLAIN BECAUE IT FEELS LIKE HOME TO ME. TELL ME TO QUIT; AND TALKING SHIT ABOUT. I REALLY GOTTA SAY, THIS BOTTOM AIN'T SO BAD. —

People. People. People. People everywhere. Too much talking. Too much to focus on. Leo faltered, briefly hanging back to press against Valentine as he took a moment to take in everything and everyone. There was Feliks, his sister Masie, his uncle Kian, Keona, and...

oh what was THAT?

Lucifer caught him off guard. How he hadn't noticed the large dragon sooner was beyond him. His golden eyes were as round as saucers, and his already fluffy fur puffed out even more; bristling. He couldn't help the little aggressive warning yip that escaped his mouth. Leonidas was thoroughly intimidated- afraid even- by the gentle giant, but he did his best to pull away from Val and place himself in front of his family and Luci, small body shaking like a leaf. His mouth opened and closed lamely, trying desperately to find any sort of words to say to the guy. 'Don't hurt my brother, you- scary!' That would work, and yet he still could bring himself to do anything except scurry back towards Masie and huddle himself between her legs, shooting nervous glares at Lucifer.

Not so tough now, was he?

It had only been a short while since Eris himself had been introduced to those outside of his family. It was a fresh memory, one filled with bubbling excitement and wild awe. Now, more children were being introduced. Eris spotted the commotion and he just had to go over and see what was going on. There were many creatures present, none of them his family, but he didn't mind. Eris's pink-tinted eyes flickered from each Typhooner to the next. There was Owen, the dinosaur... Masie, he thought her name was, a griffon, a couple of rusty spotted cats, and the big dragon dude- he had been there when Eris had been introduced, but he didn't know his name.

All these faces were looked at, briefly, but the ones Eris focused in on were those of Valentine and Leo. They were the ones that were meeting the rest of The Typhoon. They were the ones his age. Possible friends! Definite friends! Eris bounded over, completely oblivious to any sort of awkward family stuff was going on. He decided not to run over to the pup that was hiding underneath Masie; he looked like he didn't want to be troubled. By Lucifer, perhaps. The other pup looked more open and excited.

Eris went right up to Valentine, all wide eyes and charming smile. "Salve! I'm Eris!" He chirped, deciding to go with the Latin word for hello, because it was cool. "I just got in'roduced to e'eryone, too, a... few weeks ago." He paused and remembered, his dark-striped tail giving a satisfied swish as he recalled it.
