Seraphine waited until it was decided that the child would stay. She almost wanted to snort at the reactions of the father, thinking that he would go along so long without finding himself with a gift from Luna. She shook her head at the whole scene before her as another woman approached. She wondered if this creature was another of Jacquez playthings but left it alone. She dipped her head in farewell as she backed away from the comfortable gathering as she spoke up. "She was the only one to live Jac.. but I will try and bring the rest of your crew home, if any survived." Her voice showing a bit of annoyance at the male's words before she turned her gazed down at the kitten and puppy in their little mock battle as she growled softly to the runt.
She flicked her tail in a show of annoyance though she wouldn't admit that she'd come to like the child a bit for all her sauce and vinegar she spouted from time to time. Her voice grew gruff as she turned away. "Be good Jontae, don't do anything I wouldn't do.." She doubted the child would understand but Jacquez and Ruri would. She had been a wild one, rough and tumble when she'd been part of the crew. Always causing trouble and cracking jokes that the shipmates bore with good spirits. She wondered if the small fry would turn into trouble. She was a princess after all now and she deserved to be a bit spoiled, not that Seraphine believed that her father would do just that.
She nodded one last time as she trotted away from the group, knowing that it would probably be a while before she saw any of their faces again, if she ever did.

Jontae had been about to behead the dandelion when all of a sudden she felt something heavy land upon her back, flattening her to the ground. She gave a squeak of protest and turned to be greeted with a pair of bright blue eyes. She growled and turned under the smaller creature, buffing it's belly with her dull nails as she pawed at it's face. She had no clue what this creature was but it was now hers to play with! She grabbed up at the creatures ear and tugged at the velvety flap as she made funny little sounds of puppy joy. She had totally forgotten about the gathering of adults and almost missed Seraphine's retreat until the soft growl she issued hit her ears.
Jontae squirmed out from under the kitten who went about attacking the puppy's fluffy tail while she stood at attention to gaze up at the adults. She really didn't understand what all was going on but she watched as Seraphine took off and a soft whine escaped her throat before she turned back to the remaining adults, her eyes asking what just happened.
