| Darien was silent until they pulled back onto the drive. "Here we are."
Look mum! It's home! It's nice here! Daisy dragged a small nibble of beef across to his mummy, who nudged it back towards him.
You need your strength little...Daisy. I can't believe he named you Daisy.
It's a nice name Mummy! Daisy grinned. | |

| Darius put Daisy back in his front pocket and carried the cage as he stepped out of the car.
Diana followed suit.

| Darien re-entered the garden and paused.
"Um..."
----
Mother flying fox rocked slightly in her cage and sniffled urgently, calming only when she detected her pup was still nearby.
She wasn't going to lose him again, no matter how sedated she was. | |

| Diana headed to the kitchen, to make breakfast.
Darius on the other hand, headed to the garden as well. It was only after he freed the mother winged fox did he noticed what happened to the garden.
"Wow..." Darius said.
Dice laid in the middle of a half-eaten garden. Too-much-eaten-too-much.

| Darien was almost tempted to laugh. "Darius...what did you feed that horse?"
Look Mummy! That's Dice! Daisy grinned. A unicorn!
His mother chuckled. Darling, that's a horse.
Dice! Dice! It's Mummy! They found Mummy! | |

| Dice was much too full to speak coheretly... or listen to anything for that matter.
No. No more eating. Full. Uhhhhh.
Darius shrugged. "I don't know. What's wrong with her Daddy? Is she sick? Why is she laying there?" | |

| "Um..." Darien observed the carnage. By which he meant the lack of plants.
"I think she may have devoured the garden." He patted Darius' shoulder. "I think she's probably a bit bloated."
Was this garden always so bare?
No mumma! It was quite green, really. | |

| "Oh..." Darius said looking at Dice worriedly. He sat by her and started stroking her neck.
Ughhh, sleep. Me going to sleep now. Dice said closing her eyes.

| Darien smiled reassuringly. "I think she'll be fine...she just needs to sleep it off."
He watched the mother fox, resting quietly on the grass with her pup by her side. What the hell they were going to do with two winged foxes he had no idea... | |

| There was a puff sound and a second later, Nicolas was there.
"Hey Darius..." He paused as he looked around the garden. "What happened here?"
And he looked at the slumbering horse. "What happened to Eurydice?"

| "She devoured half the garden." Darien interjected. "She's probably a bit...full."
A bit, ha. scoffed the mother fox. Poor thing is clearly remarkably over-full.
Is that why I shouldn't have too many snacks, mumma? Daisy nuzzled his mother's wing, clambouring onto her shoulder.
Yes Daisy. It's not nice. His mother licked him on the nose, evaluating the newcomer with a steely glare. | |

| "Dios-mio." Nicolas exclaimed. "That poor horse."
"Whoa," He said was he saw that there was now two winged foxes. "It multiplied."

| "It's Daisy's mother." Darien explained briefly. "It was missing her, so Darius ordered us to go and rescue her." He grinned at his son.
Darius...Which one is that? The mother asked, glancing around.
The short one. The one who gives me food. He's my owner Mumma! Daisy declared proudly.
Daisy, we don't have owners. We belong in the wild.
But Mummy, he's nice to me! Daisy considered for a moment. Could he be my friend?
His mother gave a dry chuckle of sorts. Very well. Provided he remains nice to you. | |

| Darius grinned back at his father but then realised that Nicolas was probably there for Dice.
"Are you gonna take Dice now?" Darius asked sadly.
"Well at the moment, I'm going to have a hard time too considering she's bloated and asleep." Nicolas said looking at Eurydice.
"Boys!" Diana yelled from the kitchen. "Food's ready!"

| Darien smiled. "On our way."
Hm...Do they have food for us too Mumma? Daisy asked, distracted.
His mother grinned. Well, we need to practice your flying, don't we?
Really Mumma?! The pup bounded onto the floor. Come on Mumma! I can do it!
Darien moved over to Darius, out of the path of the flying foxes. "Uh...let's steer clear of them for the moment, and get some food. You heard your mother." | |

| "Okay." Darius said. He was hungry but he wanted to play with the animals more. But in the end, food won out. He stood up and went inside.
Nicolas tagged along.
The table was set for four people.
"Pancakes!" Darius said jumping on his seat at the table.
"Hey Nick, thought I heard you're voice." Diana said.
"Merry Christmas," Nicolas grinned giving Diana a peck on the cheek.
"Merry Christmas too." Diana said. "Are you hungry? I made enough, I think."
Darius smothered his pancakes with syrup.
"Nah, just eaten actually, thanks though. I'm just here for the horse really." Nicolas said sitting down on the table anyway.

| Darien grinned and also seated himself. Not next to Nick, obviously.
"Need any help?" He asked Diana in an attempt to be useful.
----
Like this...run, jump and flap. It's easy. Just follow me.
So saying, his mother took off, flying as high as the wards would let her, and swooping to be ready to catch her son.
Luckily as it happened.
Daisy jumped, flapped, plummeted, rolled and thudded onto his mother's back.
Nearly dear. Try again. | |

| "Nope, I got it." Diana said smiling. She put the pancake platter down on the middle of the table.
Darius was almost half-way through eating his.
"Darius, slow down, you might choke on yourself." Diana warned.
Darius grinned at her sheepishly and did as he was told. Well for about two bites and accelerated again.

| Darien grinned at his son, and proceeded to do the same. Wolfing food was far more fun than civilised eating.
"Delicious pancakes." He grinned, before taking another gargantuan bite.
-------
Outside, mother and Daisy continued to attempt flight. Daisy managed to flap five times, then fell onto the grass.
Not cool. | |

| Diana shook her head giving up.
"Done!" Darius said wiping his mouth with a napkin. "I'll see you later Mum." He said and before anyone could say anything he ran outside where the animals were at.
Once the door was closed Diana turned to Darien. "So what are we going to do with the foxes?"

| Darien swallowed. "An excellent question. Well...father said he'd keep Daisy at the manor, but I can't see him looking after the mother too,...she's a bit...large."
-------
Daisy made an odd mewl of greeting when he saw Darien and jumped, flapping for about a metre, to land in Darius' arms.
Mummy! I did it!
Well done. The affectionate mother landed next to the boy and pup, and nuzzled her son. A few more days and you'll be able to fly properly. Then we can go and find Daddy.
Watching the human boy carefully, she almost felt some...empathy for him. Or respect. She wasn't sure. Humans weren't usually...nice to her son. She sniffed the boy carefully. | |

| "Where did you get them anyway?" Nicolas asked, interestedly.
_____
"Hey Daisy!" Darius exclaimed. "You can fly!"
At the mother's sniffing, Darius couldn't help but laugh. It tickled.

| "Some shop on Spirate Road. Mick's Mythical emporium or something." Darien scowled. "The man there used to kick them. Bit of a bastard."
-----
Daisy wagged his slightly spiky tail. I can! I am awesome! Some day I'll be able to fly for days!
The mother blinked at the laughing, and sniffed again.
Mumma, you're tickling him! Daisy grinned. I knew you'd like my- friend.
His mother snorted, but seemed to be smiling slightly. Well...he could be worse. | |

| "Kick them?" Nicolas said darkly. "Where was this again?"
"Mick's Mythical Emporium." Diana repeated. "I was actually wondering if you could have a poke around the place, Nick, it seemed really dodgy."
"Mick's Mythical Emporium." Nicolas said noting it in his trusty notebook. "Consider it done." He stowed away his notebook. "I know an animal reserve not far from here, if you want to give the foxes a decent home." He added.
____
"I have some-more jerky." Darius said pulling out another packet and opening it. "If you're hungry." | |

| Darien perked up again. "Whereabouts? I mean, it's not like we have a giant park for them to fly in."
-----------
Daisy nuzzled his hand affectionately. See! He feeds me!...Yes please! He used the pleading eyes once more.
His mother chuckled, and sat down next to her pup. If there's any left, I'll have a bit. It wasn't quite as good as the raw stuff, but better than the rubbish we were fed before. | |
