Gremlin about leapt out of his fur when he heard that Kuragori had returned, his heart skipping a beat as he ran outside completely forgetting about the furs that he should've worn because of the cold. All of it forgotten due to his dear friend coming back from his business trip. Or was it a vacation? He was uncertain but it had been sudden after that night... Grem had worried that he had upset the other that night or the days before it had occurred. He hoped that he didn't seeing as he cared about the other and even if there was other of people to talk to, they didn't stick out to Gremlin. They weren't Kuragori nor would they ever be. He spent most of his days aimlessly wandering around for the most part until the idea of stealing shit from other groups came to mind, Grem felt unmotivated to do it at all in the beginning but once he gave himself an objective and reason why he was doing it. The reason being that owl griffin who treated him so kindly in comparison to all the people he had met in his life.

He had nearly died on his trip to Palm Glades but that was what he endured through back home, he was beginning to question if it was truly home... Most of it slowly starting to become a foggy memory even when he tried his best to grip at the small silvers, they would slip from his paws. Instead of those memories of "home", it was filled with the people who currently lived within the Coalition even if he did not know most of them by name. They were starting to fill the memories he was losing, it was fucking weird but... He preferred it that way. The worry of being found and killed left his mind completely when he joined. Grem's life upon joining slowly became more meaningful and comfortable. Yet... He only ever felt that whenever he was near the owl griffin, they had become inseparable and now... Kuragori had gone away leaving Gremlin alone. It had become hard to pick at the pieces and try figuring out what he did or what he should do with the other gone. He thought he could've handled it when the other left but Grem found himself anxiously gnawing at his own tail when no one was around.

Realizing his own tail, he sat on top of it to stop it from wagging in front of the other feeling his face beginning to get warm. There was only faint memories lingering in the back of his head from the last time he had felt like this. His single eye fixated onto the owl griffin that stood in front of him only to shift away in a nervous manner, Gremlin did his best to brush it off but he looked a mess... Unruly fur, no bow, and patches of missing from his tail (but he was doing his best to hide it). Grem offered a toothy grin "Welcome back..." He trailed off as if he wanted to say more, his smile faltering in the slightest. Shit! He hadn't even brought the stolen stuff to give to Kura when he came back, his tail tip twitched in self frustration but he tried to keep a cool demeanor about it.

His fur rising slightly realizing that Kura had called him by his actual name instead of Graham. You fucked this up. Came a thought as he sat there trying his best not to frown at that, he cleared his throat trying to figure out what else to say "I'm here..." His spotted tail curling around his forepaws not caring that it was visible to the other, his eye glancing to the side before returning to lock onto the owl griffin "I... I missed you." Gremlin managed to blurt out feeling his face growing warm as he sat there, his face might have been getting heated did his entire body tremble from the cold as it nipped at him.

Gremlin's ear would twitch at the familiar nickname feeling comforted by hearing it, he took a deep breath only offering a soft smile as he did. He felt a bit more at ease listening to the other say that he missed him too, it was enough to make his heart flutter inside his chest but he remained silent until Kura frowned at him asking what had happened "Oh! These?" He began to point to some of his injuries before waving a small paw in a dismissive manner, he snorted quietly as he continued "Nah, we didn't have a fuckin raid... I just kinda... Went to visit the other groups to get you some cool shit when you got back... I forgot to bring it here to you but I'll show you later," His spotted tail lashed to the sides a few times only did he pin it down with a paw, his attention still on the owl griffin that sat in front of him. "I'm sure your trip was a lot more eventful than my small adventures." His whiskers twitched, Grem eventually rising to his paws to get closer to the bigger creature still being quite attentive of what was going to be said. He wanted to hug the beast yet he knew better than to do that when the other had something important to tell him.

Kuragori seemed uneasy by the way he looked down at patches of snow and digging his talons into the ground, it was enough to make the small imp worry for his friend as he stood there still shaking from the cold. He had to keep his mouth shut just so his teeth wouldn't start chattering, when the night before was mentioned did he feel his entire body growing hot only to say with a nervous chuckle "Yeah, about that I wanted to say-" It wasn't long until Kuragori mumbled something else that made his frown grow bigger and then it hit him. I'm pregnant. His pupil widened in that moment, he was unsure of what to say or do. They were his... No, it would be their children. Gremlin noticed how tears were slowly forming in Kura's eyes and that was enough to make him react to what was unfolding. The small wildcat glanced around for any type of leverage but found none, he would leap forward climbing Kura's back leg until he was on his shoulder did he reach forward to wipe away the tears.

It took him a few moments to muster up what to say though a soft smile forms itself on his maw "Looks like I'll have to make a name for myself here to make sure the kids get the best, huh?" It was a murmur for Kuragori's ears alone, he pressed his body to the head of the owl griffin "Or stealing more shit... Maybe picking some odd jobs along the way," He fell silent again trying to figure out what to say, he wasn't the most emotional creature but the throbbing of his heart and the way his guts felt like they had eaten butterflies. It was enough to push out the next words from his maw "I love you... You silly overgrown bird."

Copy cat, tryna cop my manner,
Watch your back when you can't watch mine.

The wounded Warmonger was concerned for Kuragori and Grem, seeing Grem down when Kuragori wasn't around somewhat hurt her. She saw them as family, now.

Moving quietly toward the two, she halted at Kuragori's words. Pregnant. Woah. "For a moment I thought I was gonna lose a dad. Turns out I'll be having siblings soon." She approached the two, a shy smile reaching her lips. "Congrats, Dad."

Great, they were going to have more little shits running around. Perhaps she shouldn't be so envious and so jealous at the same time. Grem deserved his happy ending. He got to have the thing that she wanted most. A family that was whole and unbroken. She wished she could understand why she hurt so much over her father's death. Perhaps it had fucked up her brain, yeah, as if she wasn't already fucked up already. Excuse her bleeding heart, she moved forward to proclaim her own congratulations. Or at least she tried to proclaim it but it was like the words were glued to the roof of her mouth. Not losing a dad, gaining a bigger family. Her jaw clenched and she wanted to lash out but she knew better right? Of course not. She never did and she needed to control herself. Taking in a deep breath the woman sat down heavily and finally forced the words to leave her throat. "Congratulations you two." It sounded so much easier for her mother and she felt the ach spread from her chest.
