Comfort Corner
The carpet is thick, soft and cream coloured, while the walls are a yellow bronze colour. In the corner along one wall there is a large sofa, able to seat 4 or 5 people comfortably. Along the other corner wall there is a smaller sofa for 2 or 3 people. In the middle of the furniture, there is a low, round coffee table, perfect for colouring at or for other craft activities.
There is a scratching post and a cat tree for climbing, which are both along the wall opposite the couch. A few fluffy beds have also been put out, in varying sizes, in case any one prefers the floor. There is also a large sturdy perch and a marked off area that says "Landing Pad" in case any winged friends want to visit.
There is now a blue chaise chair in the nook as well, which has been placed near the couch and is good for both sitting and spreading out lengthwise.
There are two baskets off to the side. One contains fuzzy blankets, a variety of fuzzy and textured pillows, and a collection of stuffed animals while the other contains a variety of art supplies, ranging from colouring pages and blank paper to crayons and coloured pencils, and more besides.
Today's snacks include apple cider, hot chocolate, tea, baked sweet potato fries, cucumber sandwiches and tuna salad. Feel free to grab a plate and a blanket and cuddle up!

A werecougar (Someone new for you to meet) flows in like water carrying a basket of pastries in his mouth that he's made. His mate, Jill walks beside him, her hand on his head, glancing around a bit nervously. Trausio has said to come unarmed, but her fingers still itch for her knives and whip; she is not used to feeling this vulnerable ande naked without her weapons about her.
Sh'lainn bounces in, slithering into the Shaize chair to lounge there while she snacks on a huge wedge of watermellon she's brought with her.
Errol comes in, folowed by Clarien in bobcat form who heads straight for one of the sturdier scratching posts and works it like a boss. Meanwhile the man grabs fixings for a locks and cream cheese sandwitch and flops on the couch looking for cuddles.
The little dragon who seems to be follwing after clarien of late lays along the back of the couch as well, settling between Kaelaren and Craimar with a familiar comfort that says xe knows them quite well by now and has no fear of them even though, in her currewnt form, they could probably eat xoir for breakfast and not be amiss for it.
There are various verbal and telepathic greetings from the lot of them as they settle in for comforts and fuds.
no subject
J nods hello to the werecougar and Jill, happy to meet new people, but cautious to give them enough space to feel safe. She is intrigued by the basket of pastries, and subtly points out the cutlery laid out by the food, that can be used for make shift weapons at need. It is a safe space here, and no one will be hurt, but she wants to put her new guest at ease if at all possible.
As soon as Fuzzy J notes Sh'lainn's appearance, Kitty J pops out and bounds over to say hello. She gently pounces into her friend's lap and eyes the watermelon curiously, wondering if she can snitch a bite and if it will taste any good.
J waves to Errol and Clarien, then joins Errol on the couch. She could use some cuddles herself right now, so the company would be welcome.
Kitty J takes note of the little dragon, and makes a note to go say hello after she has finished inspecting Sh'lainn's watermelon. Góra makes note of the little dragon, though she does so using Fuzzy J's eyes, as she doesn't want her much larger dragon form to scare the little one.
Fuzzy J gives one last look around, making sure she didn't forget to say hi to anyone, pleased to see so many friends here.
no subject
~Aye, please!~ Craimar fluffs hisfeathers in anticipation. Kae gives a mental 'nod as well, and Trausio just spreds out a little, tucking her head under her wing. Worn the fuck out.

Jill's mis-matched gaze (one blue eye and one brown) follows the movement with practiced ease, and she is emmediately put at eas with weapons at hand. She chooses a floor cussion and leans against the cougar's bulk.
"This is Saul. He's mine." Jill gives a thin smile, "we've been mated for a while now, despite being...well prickly toward each other."
Saul shifts slightly, giving the impression of sardonic laughter.
As soon as Fuzzy J notes Sh'lainn's appearance, Kitty J pops out and bounds over to say hello. She gently pounces into her friend's lap and eyes the watermelon curiously, wondering if she can snitch a bite and if it will taste any good.
Sh'lainn surrupticiously holds out a morsel, grinning at her kitty friend, glad to see her.
J waves to Errol and Clarien, then joins Errol on the couch. She could use some cuddles herself right now, so the company would be welcome.
Errol is happy to oblige,snuggling closer, and putting an arm around J's shoulders.
Clarien, meanwhile, will do something surprising and settle next to J on the couch, partially lounging in J's lap, lifting his head for ear scritches.
Kitty J takes note of the little dragon, and makes a note to go say hello after she has finished inspecting Sh'lainn's watermelon. Góra makes note of the little dragon, though she does so using Fuzzy J's eyes, as she doesn't want her much larger dragon form to scare the little one.
Amergi, the little one, churrups a greeting to the form in J's eyes, then curls up tighter. Sleep.
no subject
J gives a few skritches to Trausio, making sure not to be ticklish, but not wanting to disturb her either.
J is glad she guessed right, and that she was able to help put Jill at ease. "Hi Saul, bice to meet you both. I hope you enjoy your time here." J lets the mated couple settle in, and makes a note to come check on them again later, in case they need anything or want company.
*nom!* ~Oh! Is sweet and wet and delicious! Melon!~ Kitty J livks her face and then gently headbutts Sh'lainn, delighted with the treat and glad to see her friend.
J happily cuddles into Errol, grateful for the contact. She gives a pleased smile at the addition of Clarien and reaches out to give him skritches.
Góra retreats back to where she stays when she's not out, curling up for a nap of her own, and making a note to perhaps come out and say hi in person if Amergi comes back.
no subject
Sh'lainn giggles, reaching seemingly into thin air (gotta love dimentional pockets) and pulling out a plate of kitty-sized morsels for her friend, putting it on the floor for her friend. "Here ye go. Enjo yerself, aye?"
Trausio lets out a soft churr of pleasure at the strokes, half-closing her eyes. It fels good to be touched, she misses it so much.
Errol squeezes J lightly, giving what comfort he can, and shifts so she can lay her head on his shoulder if she wants. Clarien, meanwhile, begins to make a comforting noise, flicking his tongue out to lick J's fingers if she puts them within reach of it.
A dark head peaks in before pulling away again. J could guess at him being another were-cat persuasion, before he slides away again. Thairon checking on his people. Seeing them safe, he slips back into the shadows, keeping an eye out for anything he may need to help with-be it supplies or another body to cuddle wwith. He glances at the beds, seeing if there would be one his size since, like Saul, he is slightly larger than a naturally wild cat would be. (Reference: were panther)
no subject
*PURR PURR* ~Yummy! Thanks!~ Kitty J munches on the watermelon pieces, then snuggles into Sh'lainn's lap.
J continues petting Trausio, glad to help her friend feel good.
*happy sigh* J leans into Errol, enjoying the closeness. Clarien's noises are very comforting and pleasant to listen to, and J puts her fingers close enough for him to lick if he wants.
J notes Thairon's appearance, wondering if he will come back and stay for a while. There are a bunch of pillows for lounging on, and there are a few big enough for Thairon, so he even has a choice if he wants to stick around.
no subject
Errol smiles slowly, glad to make his friend unwind some. He knows families can be stressful, and hums a comforting not of sympathy for her.
Clarien liks J's fingers gently, his pur growing a bit.

Thairon pauses a moment, glancing around again, then slides fully into the room with a clean economy of motion, shifting to panther half way acrooss the crem-colored carpet space. He bounds, a bit more gently than one his bulk would seem to, onto a larger bed than most, curling up in it with a sigh. This place seems to be a good one, especially if both Jill *and* Saul are unguarded here. It takes much for either of them to let their guards down-even in their *own* space let alone someone else's.
His eyes half-close, and hd dozes lightly, listening to the merry sounds around him content to drift a while.
no subject
"That they can be. I love mine, but they seem to have a habit of eating my spoons. I'm very glad of your comfort.* J smiles again and snuggles in more.
J gigles at the feel of Clarien's tongue, and basks in his purring noises.
Fuzzy J is happy to see Thairon come in and settle down. Indeed, she is glad to see so many from this clan (I'm not sure if that's the right word, I'm sorry if I got it wrong) feel safe here.
Over by Sh'lainn, a very odd scene is taking place. Both Fuzzy J and Kitty J are comfortable where they are and don't want to move but they still want to lay down near Thairon, and cuddle if he wants. To that end, Fire has appeared, but her horse instincts are shouting "predator!" at her, while Kitty J tries to convince her it is safe. Finally, on shaky legs and whickering nervously all the while, Fire drags a pillow over and folds down about a body's length away from Thairon. She lays there breathing hard, with all her other forms sending reassurance, and tries to ignore her instincts telling her to run, especially since *this* panther doesn't *feel* like a threat, even though he looks like one.
no subject
Sh'lainn pets and scritches, settling more comfortably on the shaise, making sure her kitty friend is comfortable, too. She's to awake to sleep, but she does become languidly relaxed sprawled out on the chair, eyes half-lided as she pets her kitty friend happily.
"That they can be. I love mine, but they seem to have a habit of eating my spoons. I'm very glad of your comfort.* J smiles again and snuggles in more.
Errol chuckles softly, "spoon-eating seems to e a talent in many families, I truly believe this. I am glad to give it."
J gigles at the feel of Clarien's tongue, and basks in his purring noises.
Clarien headbutts J's hand gently asking for more scritches and pets. He wriggles more fully into her lap, his heat hopefully a comfort to match Errol's.

~Shall I shift for you, equine one?~ Thairon's mental voice is a bit shaky; he is not used to this way of speech and is not good at it. His species does not do this well, though Trausio has been trying to teach him this. It gives him a bit of a head hurt, but it seems to reach beyond him somehow. He purrs softly, using it to calm her distress as he has often done for Jill when Saul has been away.
Jill's head lifts a bit, hearing the familiar purr, smiling over at Thairon. She lays her head back down, snuggling into Saul a bit more, happy to see her other were-freiend here; the backup most of ten accompanying her when Saul had other business to attend to elsewhere. She relaces more thorroughly, feeling surrounded by her people.
~Clan, collective, it is the same.~ Kae smiles slowly, a mental 'warmth to his voice, ~We prefer both to the word 'system, honestly. Thank you for theconsideration, Lovely friend.~
no subject
J chuckles. "Ya, they do seem to do that, some times more than others. At least sleep usually helps me get the spoons back."
J gives more pets and skritches to Clarien, very much enjoying his heat and weight.
Fire whickers softly, and tosses her head. ~~Not shift, no pounce? Stay here, closer next time? Feel safe but not. Strange.~~ Her thoughts come across clearly but rather choppy, as she is not much good at words. Projecting is easier, words, not as much. She is surrounded by friends and family though, certain in the knowledge that her herd will protect if it becomes necessary, and *almost* certain that it won't be.
Fuzzy J answers back mentally as well. ~I'm glad I got it right, I know terminology can be touchy sometimes. And honestly, I don't know very much and try not to pry, so I try to always tread carefully around things that might be sensitive. Even accidental upsets are no fun.~

J gives more pets and skritches to Clarien, very much enjoying his heat and weight.
Clarien's purr increases to a gentle rumble, and he settles in to enjoy himself more thorroughly.

~No pounce.~ Thairon tries to comvay a smile through the words, ~I am like Clarien, I shift between man and big cat. So does that one.~ Thairon indicates ASaul behind Jill, dozing himself now he feels safe enough.

~It is good you do. And Iwill agree.~ Kae shifts on the couch a bit, settling a bit more comfortably, ~We tend to be more patient than most when it comes to things of terminology, especially when one makes efforts.~
no subject
J snuggles in too, petting Clarien some more, and relaxing more the longer she hears his rumbling purr.
~~No pounce good. I stay here.~~ Fire huffs through her muzzle some more, taking in the scents of the room, safety, family, gentle predator and all. Very slowly, as Thairon doesn't move or pounce, her instincts quiet down and she begins to relax. Saul and Clarien are far enough away to not give her any problems, she can see them.
~Patience is good. Being mistreated is not ok, but biting off the heads of well meaning people tends to be counterproductive. Although I can see how that would happen, if you had to deal with assholes all the time, or insensitive people.~
