[u][i]Well he looks a little... Different...[/i][/u]
*It was a cool, humid day in the Dojo. Dark clouds floated high in the sky, blocking out the sun. Two of the Dojo's most 'exotic' individuals were outside, sitting on the scaffolding on the inside of the Dojo wall.
Sapphire said something to Vorim'Tairn and he wrote something down on a small notebook and held it up for her to see. Sapphire hardly spoke now. She only talked when necessary because there was no way for someone to reply. What with her loss of hearing, being illiterate in English, not understanding sign language and not being able to read lips, she's basically cut off from any information other than what she sees. Vorim and Big S are the only ones in the Dojo who can write in Sphirinian, so when they aren't around, she's completely silent.
Vorim had been acting different either. Seeing him outside had become rare. In fact, seeing him at all had become rare. He already spoke rarely and and when he did speak it was almost always quiet and with a stutter. His little brother had forced him to interact with people back on Sphirinia, slowly helping him build up his confidence with people so he can eventually talk to them on his own. Since Sketch had learned to talk, he had helped Vorim, his brother who is a full three years older than him. When he mysteriously disappeared from SphirInia, Vorim had gotten to a point where he could interact with others without needing Sketch there to help him. What he had failed to consider when coming to this dimension was that it would completely reset his progress. It had taken years for Sketch to bring him up to where he was. And when the person who knew him best had disappeared, Vorim fell back down. He locked himself in his apartment, only rarely leaving to stock up on a week's worth of food before disappearing back into his apartment again. He would have still been in there if Sapphire hadn't smashed through the door and dragged him out.
It had been weeks since Sketch had been kidnapped by William. Members had chased him through three towns, but eventually turned back or had lost his trail. He was either thought to be dead or possibly a slave to someone far away.
Sapphire and Vorim were unaware of the dark creature slowly making its way up the long, winding steps to the Dojo.*
[spoiler]If you don't know what happened, read some of the chains on this post so you can be filled in on who kidnapped him and whatnot.

[u][b]O-Okay.., is it alright i-if I sleep o-on the couch?[/b][/u] [spoiler]She was terrified. Seeing Sketch possessed shook her to the very core. She's off hiding in a tree or something.[/spoiler]
-
"Go right ahead i will make sure the kids don't bother you"says leyla
-
[u][b]O-Okay. Thanks...[/b][/u] *He crawls back onto the couch, laying down and closing his eyes. Sketch continues purring, rolling around on the ground as if he was a house cat.*
-
[i]the boys giggle as he does watching him roll around.[/i]
-
*He rolls over back onto his feet, walking up to Syrilth and sniffing her, then licking her on the cheek a couple times as well before moving over to Vorim and sniffing his face. He then makes his way into the kitchen, managing to open a pantry and he sticks his head inside.*
-
[i]leyla walks over to see what he is getting into.[/i]
-
*He pulls his head out of the pantry. In his mouth is a box of cereal. He shakes his head, tiny bits of cereal going everywhere. He then starts eating them off the ground, wagging his tail.*
-
"What are you hungry sketch"says leyla
-
*He continues eating the cereal off the ground, clearly not understanding her.*
-
[i]she just watches him eat cereal off the floor.[/i]
-
*He finally finishes eating the cereal and looks up at Leyla. He hops up, setting his hands on her shoulders and licking her face.*
-
[i]leyla giggles as he does so and she then kisses his cheeks.[/i]
-
*He licks her face some more, nuzzling her neck as well.*
-
[i]she pets his head before kissing him again.[/i]
-
*He seems to barely understand, licking her back on her mouth as she kisses him.*
-
[i]she giggles and starts scratching him behind one of his ears.[/i]
-
*He continues happily licking her face. David and Stalker somehow know Sketch is there and David comes out of the boy's room and Stalker comes out of Sketch and Leyla's room. They immediately run up to Sketch, wagging their tails and barking.*
-
[i]leyla greets them both when they run out.[/i]
-
*Sketch gets off of Leyla and starts sniffing Stalker. David tries to jump on Sketch but just knocks Sketch over instead.*
-
[i]leyla watches them interact and looks at her two boys who are busy coloring with syrilth.[/i]
-
*Sketch gets back up and his ears droop a little like he's feeling tired. He walks up to the door to their room, nudging it open with his head.*
-
[i]she watches him go into their room she then looks at the two boys yerin yawns and rubs his eyes with one hand while coloring. Leyla glance at the clock and realizes that its getting late for them so she walks over.[/i] "Mommy im getting sleepy"says yerin "Alright its getting close to your guys bedtime so come you two im gonna get you two ready for bed."says leyla. [i]yerin gets up and hugs syrilth then follows leyla as she heads to their bedroom. Luka follows them. She then get them both ready for bed. Its not long after they crawl into bed as they fall fast asleep.[/i]
-
*Vorim doesn't move from the couch. He snores a little, his arm covering his eyes. Sketch hops up onto their bed, sniffing around.*
-
[i]leyla tiptoes out the boys room and looks like serenity has left so has syrilth. So leyla goes into their room she is tired. So she just climbs in to bed with him.[/i]
-
*He stands up on the bed when she comes in and barks a couple times, wagging his tail. Thank god the walls are sound proof. When she crawls into bed he curls around behind her, snuggling up and nuzzling her neck.*
