"Ow ow ow ow," Camellia mumbled as she stuck her tongue out at Solus while the two were sitting on the living room sofa. Camellia painfully twitched as she grabbed her tongue and tried to pull it out as far as it would go.

"Could you hold still for a second?" Solus requested as he inspected Camellia's tongue, with Camellia mumbling something along the lines of I'm trying. Solus noticed the slightly redder spot on her tongue and sighed.

"Is it bad?" Camellia muffledly mumbled. Solus shook his head before lifting a finger and placing it over the burn mark, as the sound of two doors in the house opened before quickly closing.

"No, it just appears to be a light burn," Solus mentioned as his finger started to emit yellow, lime and a little bit of dark blue mana. The mana transferred from Solus' finger to Camellia's tongue before the burn mark faded away. Solus pulled his finger away and Camellia relievedly exhaled.

"Man, it would've sucked, for me, if you didn't have healing magic; having to go a week with that burn mark on my tongue would be a pain," Camellia joked as she noticed a very tall fair-skinned male teen standing in the kitchen. Camellia leaned her face close to Solus causing him to move his head back.

"Who's that?" Camellia whispered to Solus while pointing at the guy in the kitchen. The teen had spiky and woolly, like a sheep, snow white and golden hair, he was also wearing a large cloak made of golden threads.

Camellia was about to ask if the guy was Solus' brother; but then got distracted by the eight large and long(to his knees) white, with golden ends, plated mouthed tendrils that were connected to the teen's head.

"No, he's not my brother, he's just Luminous," Solus explained. Camellia was about to ask something else but Solus stopped her.

"No, he isn't Lumina's boyfriend... I think... he's the son of my mom's friend whose studying abroad and my mom offered to let him stay here," Solus explained.

"And who might you mom's friend-" Camellia managed to say before nervously recoiling backwards when she noticed Luminous was looming behind Solus while holding a cup of coffee with one of his tendrils in its jaws.

"That's classified," Luminous stated as he took a sip from his coffee. Luminous opened his eyes( that had gold iris with moving white dots in them) and rubbed his forehead, causing his two golden ahoges to wobble.

"I thought you being here was the classified part, not your identity?" Solus asked. Luminous took another sip of his coffee.

"Right... well just know I'm their temporary legal guardian while their mother is out on a business trip," Luminous remarked before heading off back to his room.

"Well, speaking of people with Lumi in their name, when's Lumina going to be back?" Camellia asked as she looked at the metal clock on the wall.

"Knowing her she'll probably go to the store on the other side of the city, instead of the one down the street, so she'll probably be gone for a while," Solus said as a large lime-coloured ahoge appeared from behind the sofa.

"Why's that?" a young girly voice asked.

"Because she's a loli-" Solus joked before being socked in the face, by a slightly tanned kid-sized hand(covered in lime and blonde mana), and sent flying across the room into a single-seater sofa.

"I told you to stop calling me a short loli!" Lumina shouted as she crossed her arms. Camellia looked up and got a good look at, the four-year-old looking, Lumina, who was standing on top of the back part of the sofa while her ahoge was violently jolted around as she glared at Solus with her lime eyes(with blonde iris').

Lumina had long blonde hair with lime ends and a lime fringe; she also has two curly white ram-like horns, two kitsune ears(same colours as her hair) and six kitsune tails(that had the same colours as her hair and were the length of her body).

"Do you really need to punch me all the time," Solus jokingly remarked as he sat up from the sofa he was on. Lumina huffed as she unbuttoned her large lime fur hoodie, revealing her white shirt(with a chibi humanoid cat), baggy white shorts and black leggings.

"Perhaps when you stop calling me a f'in lolicon, maybe I'll stop," Lumina stated before sharply turning around.

"Come with me, Cami; you can stay in my room since Lu-chan is using the guest bedroom," Lumina stated as she hopped off the sofa as her horns started to glow teal whilst Camellia's luggage glowed teal as well before starting to float.

"Okay, Lumi-chan," Camellia remarked before she picked up the sleeping Metsu and hurried after her floating luggage, and Lumina. Solus let out a sigh as he layed back on the single-seater sofa.

"What a pain right... Nebi-chan?" Solus asked before looking around for Nebula until he spotted her floating in the kitchen while nibbling on a macaron. Solus sighed as he sat up and strolled over to Nebula.

Nebula finished eating her macaron before attempting to grab another one but the tray suddenly jolted backwards while being surrounded by a teal glow. Nebula stroppily turned to look at Solus while pouting.

"You can eat more of these, once you've had breakfast," Solus stated.

"It's the middle of the day!" Lumina shouted from down the corridor.

"... lunch then..." Solus added.

"Sol-kun..." Nebula meekly pleaded as she pressed her cheek and rubbed it against Solus' face. Solus closed his eyes and tried to resist Nebula but eventually relented.

"Fine you can have one more..." Solus stated as he felt Nebula land on his back before hearing her make an ahh noise. Solus glanced over at Nebula and saw she had her mouth open while waiting for Solus to feed her. Solus sighed before picking up a macaron and placing it in Nebula's mouth, as she had a prideful expression on her face.

Meanwhile, in Lumina's room, Lumina settled all of Camellia's luggage on the ground before hopping onto the bottom bunk of her bunkbed as Camellia placed Metsu on the stair-like ladder of the bunk bed.

"He's such an ass," Lumina complained as rolled onto her stomach and groaned into her bedsheet. Lumina eventually stopped groaning and raised her face from her bedsheet before sitting up. Lumina was about to say something before noticing Camellia setting up a sleeping bag on the floor.

"You know you can use the bunkbed," Lumina mentioned. Camellia awkwardly looked up at Lumina before nervously chuckling.

"Heheh, I know that; I'm just setting it up for Metsu," Camellia nervously explained as she rapidly straightened out the sleeping bag before placing Metsu on it. Camellia quickly stroked Metsu's head before standing up.

"Say Lumi, who is that Luminous guy anyway?" Camellia asked as she sat down next to Lumina. Lumina asked if Luminous said his background was classified; Camellia nodded her head, making Lumina sigh.

"If you really want to know you'll have to ask him directly... but the stuff he said we could tell people is that he's an alchemist studying abroad from the Zelkio Empire," Lumina stated. Camellia tilted her head and gave Lumina an intrigued stare.

"Alchemy, huh; what kind?" Camellia excitedly asked.

"No clue, but he occasionally shows us stuff he makes to get our feedback," Lumina replied as Camellia's face slowly crept towards Lumina's ear.

"Sooo~, is he your boyfriend?" Camellia smugly whispered. Lumina's face turned bright red before she slumped her head forwards.

"You never change do you," Lumina snarked as she glanced up at Camellia.

"Come on it's a genuine question, when I asked you brother he basically said he wasn't sure, so what is it?" Camellia asked. As Camellia continued to pester the embarrassed Lumina playfully, Metsu opened one of her dark purple eyes and glanced over at Lumina and Camellia; Metsu let out a low purr as she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Camellia's pestering was interrupted when there was a knock at the door before it opened and Nebula floated in; whilst carrying a plate of macarons, much to Camellia and, to a lesser visual extent, Lumina's joy.
