"Okay, slumber party in sister Patiences' room!" smiled Foxy, then her smile turning to a sad look when hearing of her new brother's condition, "Oh no," she said sadly looking at Virtue then the table.

Virtue smiled thinnly and waved a hand in dismissal. "It's alright Foxy. I've borne this disease for quite a few years now. It doesn't bother me that I'll be leaving soon, but I am sorry to be leaving two loving and wonderful sisters behind. But I know you'll both be fine. You'll have each other." He looked at Patience and smiled more strongly. "I'm hoping that by the time I do leave, you might have Jack to look after you too. He's very nice. Are you going to bring over to dinner again some time?"
"Perhaps," Patience said, watching her brother with a measuring look. "Are you going to threaten him with a very long and painful death? Or," she continued gaily, "are you going to be nice?"

Foxy smiled, "So is he your fiancee?" asked Foxy wondering if after poor brother Virtue's death she would be abondoned or worse the live in sister to a pair of newlyweds. She looked to Virtue and gave him a small smile.

"No, not yet... if ever." Patience said as she finished up her food. She relaxed back in her chair. "I'd kind of like him to be though. He's very sweet and a little shy, I think. Maybe you could meet him with me sometime Foxy?"

"I wouldn't want to impose on your personal time with him." said Foxy shyly, men had always caused trouble with girl friends, why would this Jack of hers be any different. She smiled sweetly trying her best not to offend anyone, she was rather good at offending people on accident. It always got her into plenty of trouble.

Patience smiled at her with amusement. "Oh not at all. I'd love you for to meet him. Virtue sleeps quite a bit during the day and I zip in and out periodically. You'd be pretty alone here. Demos isn't trained for company."

"Well maybe, I wouldn't want to be a thrid wheel." said Foxy smiling nervously. She hated being the third wheel in any situation, it always made her sweat perfusely, and she was not one who liked to sweat. Social dealings was not her comfort zone, she would rather sit with a good book any day then go out and meet people, she wasn;t like Patience.

"Oh please? I insist." Patience said, beginning to look a little forlorn. "At least you could start getting used to meeting other people. We're adopting you into our family, that means your life will have to change too. There are certain duties that Royalty must fulfill. I'm sure there are a few that we may skip with you, but others..." She shook her head.
Virtue nodded agreement with Patience. "I think that would be a good idea. I could come too. That way Foxy won't have to feel too estranged about the situation. Sound good Foxy?"

"If you feel your up to it, but if you feel to ill, I will stay with you. But I will try to change my ways, I am just a bit shy." she said nodding solemnly. She had only ever wanted to be accepted, and all the times she had been rejected. Foxy was a torn canvas, that needed a little mending, maybe Patience and Virtue was the glue.

"I'll be fine. If Patience is with us, I'm sure I can weather spending a day with my sisters and perhaps my brother-in-law."
"Ha! So you do approve of him!" Patience said triumphantly, stabbing a finger at her brother.
"Of course I do you silly little girl. I just had to keep up pretenses of not liking him and scaring to make sure he'd do better than he thought he could."
The two bickered back and forth, but it was all friendly. At the end, both emptied their glasses and refilled. Laughter lurked behind Patience's eyes while Virtue chuckled aloud.

Foxy laughed along. She felt part of it though she said nothing, she enjoyed just being in there presnece. She smiled between them, laughing at the right moments.

"Ah, this is what life is for us Foxy. Fun, no? Eh, no matter. You'll enjoy it. We know how to have fun and be fair at the same time. The rest of our family doesn't."
"Except for maybe a few of our cousins. Some of them were turning out okay, but we've been gone some time." Virtue said ans then shrugged indifferently.

"I see," said Foxy giggling, "I never have really had fun before, well not until tonight. You guys make me feel apart of your family though you didn't have to." she said happily. She told only the truth that came from her heart.

"Well, I have to." Patience said, pretending to be upset. "Virtue's the one who adopted you."
Virtue arched an eyebrow at her, but knew she was only teasing.

Foxy's eyes grew wide, was this a joke on her? to bring her into a family, the only thing she had ever wanted, then take it away? She felt tears welling behind her eyes, maybe she was kidding.

"No! No! Don't cry!" Patience cried in distress. "Please, I was only teasing!"
Virtue just chuckled at the predicament Patience had gotten herself into. If it were more serious, though, he'd be helping her.

"For a second there I thought you were about to say, this was all a joke. It's happened before, just not with family." she said a small tear dissappearing into her fur. "But it's ok, I'm fine." she said happily nodding, relieved that it was not a joke.

Patience made a silly face. "We're unconventional. We're sometimes very immature, but it's all fun."
Virture laughed softly at her face. "Yeah, mom and dad found out that Patience had learned some circus tricks once. They were so angry at her, but she stood up for herself. Heh-heh."
"Wanna see me do a trick?" Patience asked Foxy.

"Sure, I would love to." said Foxy happily. She was going to have to learn not to take everything seriously. She laughed and looked to Patience. Then to Virtue.

Patience stood up and walked a little ways from the table. Demos and Phobos gave her their daggers, but only a total of three. They were settled at the couches to watch. Patience balanced the daggers carefully in her hands and then began to juggle them, flipping them expertly through the air, catching them, and then doing it again.

Foxy was amazed, her eyes wide with excitement. "Wow, that is a talent." she said laughing happily. She looked to Virtue and gave him a thank you smile, if it was not for him she wouldn't be here. She laughed some more and smiled, she had not smiled this much in years.

Virtue smiled in reply at Foxy. Patience threw all of the daggers into the and caught them in one hand, behind her back, as she took a bow. She handed the daggers back to Phobos and Demos. She then back flipped into a handstand.

Foxy clapped, as she watched. She had never seen anything so amazing. She had no idea by looking at her, that patience could do those wonderful tricks.

Grunting some, Patience slowly and carefully lifted one hand. She was now balanced one hand. Virtue tilted his head as he looked at her. Her long golden hair lay pooled on the floor below her head.
"I can walk on my hands too." Patience said and put her hand down.
Patience "walked" over to Foxy on her hands. She stopped and looked up at her.
"Hi."

"Hello there." said Foxy laughing, it was strange to see a Princess on her hands. But she knew that this was how the family was, and she liked it. She knew there would be fun times to come with them. She smiled brightly, and laughed more.
