Kingdom of Honesty; Prince Tao's Kingdom

@❁ Prince Tao "Omo.." Ren beamed and waved his finger at the kitten. "Hello, little one~" He blushed- not from embarrassment, but out of happiness. "She's so cute."

@♥ Queen Ren Together they entered the small indoor garden and one kitten came instantly running clumsily towards Tao and rubbed itself on his leg. "Himitsu love~ How are you my little girl?" Tao picked the kitten up carefully and nuzzled its nose. "I want you to meet my friend, Ren."

@❁ Prince Tao Ren chewed his lip and grinned. He was excited to see the animals. Of course Tao made a cute animal, but these were just /babies./ Everyone knows they're cuter. "I'm excited," he said.

@♥ Queen Ren Tao hummed and led Ren to a small inside-garden where his two kittens and three puppies were living. "I got them a few weeks ago so they are still small and shy."

@❁ Prince Tao Ren was shocked by the sudden contact, but wasn't displeased. He gripped his hand back and followed behind him. "That sounds wonderful," he said.

@♥ Queen Ren "Why are you sorry?" Tao tilted his head and took Ren's hand. "Come one, let's go visit my pets."

@❁ Prince Tao "Oh, okay," he said, softly. "Sorry..." He felt bad. It sounded as if he insulted Tao.

@♥ Queen Ren "Well, in my case it's in my genes. Something that reaches back centuries in my family history. Apparently, someone got turned into a wolf and their children and the children after were like me." Tao shrugged and grinned. "I have no idea how this turning thing works as I am a born 'animal-human thing'."

@❁ Prince Tao Ren frowned and shuffled his feet. "How did the animal-human thing come to be? Did it just... happen?" He rubbed his cold hands together to warm them.

@♥ Queen Ren "First ask what you wanted to ask." Tao pouted and made puppy eyes to Ren.

@❁ Prince Tao Ren pouted for a moment longer before sighing quickly, as if to dismiss the thought. "Nevermind," he said. He smiled at Tao and stood up. "Maybe we could go now?"

@♥ Queen Ren Tao blinked in confusion and pursed his lips. "You need to be more clear, Rennie. I don't get what you mean."

@❁ Prince Tao "I just... How did the animal thing happen? My husband was a wolf... How did we.." He lets his words trail off as a frown seal his lips.

@♥ Queen Ren Tao frowned and laughed, shaking his head in amusement. "Why?"

@❁ Prince Tao Ren blushed slightly. "Sorry..." He nodded. "That's what my old journal said." He listened intently. "Hmm... I'm still confused..."

@♥ Queen Ren "Yah, I am no dog, I am a wolf too." Tao laughed softly and nudged his shoulder gently. "So he was also a wolf? Umma and appa are too. Our family tree consists of only wolves."

@❁ Prince Tao "So... You're a dog. And... My husband was supposedly a wolf. So... Is everyone part-animal?" He frowned a bit and fidgeted.

@♥ Queen Ren "Neh, Rennie?" Tao eyesmiled sweetly at him.

@❁ Prince Tao "Whenever you're ready," he said. He hummed and looked fondly at Tao. He then arched his brow. "Tao-hyung?"

@♥ Queen Ren "want to go now?" Tao smiled happily and took a sip from the coke.

@❁ Prince Tao He shyly wiped the milk from his lips and giggled. "Sure. That sounds nice," he said. He was really willing to anything as long as he didn't have to be alone again.

@♥ Queen Ren "Hmm.. let's play with my dog and my cat? I also have a horse." Tao smiled.

@❁ Prince Tao Ren hummed and smiled, nodding his head as well. "That would be nice," he said. "Which ever you like." He chuckled, finishing off his drink.

@♥ Queen Ren Tao put the tray down and smiled happily. "You're welcome. Do you want me to give you a tour later? Or we could visit my pets?"

@❁ Prince Tao "Thank you," Ren said, bowing his head and taking it with two hands. "It was really my pleasure. It's been so long since I've interacted with someone.." He chuckled and eye smiled, sipping at the milk.

@♥ Queen Ren "Sure, Rennie." Tao smiled and poured the other a glass with milk. "Here you go. BTW, thank you for playing with me. It was really fun."

@❁ Prince Tao Ren smiled and quickly hopped up. "I'll just have milk," he said, softly. His voice, surprisingly, was far too soft for his own taste. He never spoke so meekly. "Please?" He smiled at the other man and hoped he didn't notice Ren's discomfort.

@♥ Queen Ren "I'm back with lots of different drinks." Tao smiled and sat next to Ren with the tray. "So what do you want?"

@❁ Prince Tao Ren waited awkwardly, waiting anxiously for Tao to return. He really didn't want to be alone again. He waited for a short amount of time, but it was still long enough to leave him to his thoughts. He tried to remember... Then Tao returned.

@♥ Queen Ren "Okay, I'll be right back." Tao smiled and left his room for a moment. He usually didn't ask his servants to bring him anything, to him they were more like the company he needed and he liked to talk to them. he went to the kitchen and got a tray to put on some orange juice, coke, milk and water as he didn't know what Ren would like. With the tray he walked back to his room.
