Free Time:

Gourmet Coliseum was something that Usako could never bring her self to watch or partake in. Finding something to take up her time wouldn't be a problem since she was looking through Flourite's materials. While her sons spent time in the company of his father and Komatsu taking in the sights.

"Calm down." Flourite mumbled under his breath.

"Before or after." She got peeved. "Another got geezer comes up to me and ask how much it is to be in my 'company'. "

Flourite ended up sighing at the way she was taking being treated as a professorial escort, which she wasn't. Bringing up an off limit topic that had come out of her visit to dear Uncle Midora. Maybe she should have taken up him on his offer of Arranged Combo between her and Starjun. She would have someone to defend her honor since the man pulled off knight in armor so will. Not that she ever liked having an attachment to someone she could never truly love as a husband. Was made clear by the slight arcing of her Anch laying on large pillow agreeing with his owner.

"You want to end up sterile?" She threatens his chances at fathering children.

"I have something to tell you." He remembered some news. "Waitress I befriended has been confirmed."

He couldn't believe one of his nightstands turned out to approve of his agreement of being used as baby maker. The girl didn't want a serious relationship with him after getting to know who he was. Any child formed from their activities that night would be given up to him with out protest. Anch ended up whining at the notion of more little feet running through his master's estate. Curling his tail under him when he couldn't stand the memory of a toddler Lexxion pulling appendage.

"Has my son agreed to this arrangement?" Usako asked not wanting him to get hurt if Flourite stopped being romantically interested.

"His picked out the names if I have a boy and girl already." Flourite spoke of how supportive Lexxion had become.

Usako rolled her eyes in their sockets knowing Flourite was smiling at the memory of her son. Knowing what came form the elder's lips was true since Lexxion couldn't stop talking about the subject. Not that she needed to be protective of her only child getting his heart hurt by some stranger. Since this man had made his feelings of wanting Lexxion as his spouse clear at one point. She just didn't want her son to be used for a perfect picture family moment of instable male. Had her calling to Anch join by her sideon the floor next to the stool she was sitting on with a simple whistle. With perked up ear over to her Dobbra would happily walk settling down quickly.

"Was an aphrodisiac used to entice the girl while another kind of produce made her fertile enough to be impregnated? " Usako asked rather coldly.

"Hands full of Pleasure Berries and single Uterus Fruit." Flourite listed the fruits he used. "Given to the girl in a juice I mixed."

He they switched the subject in asking her if he could use his winning from the Gourmet Coliseum to take her son. Out on a proper date after just confessing to him when they were on Gourmet Carriage. Pointing out he been wanting to make one of many dreams Lexxion had about going some where. That being Gourmet or Rice Beach the two of them could enjoy in relaxed atmosphere. In fashionable swimwear while exploring a bloom relationship the two could have together.

"Seems you have your whole courtship planned out?" Usako asked amused in her own way.

"I plan on spending my life with your son." Flourite stopped working to soak in the moment.

"You done with...sleeping...around?" She bluntly states an action she wanted to end.

"I got what I wanted out the girl through usage of proper fruits." He pulls off a pair of gloves.

He dumps in the nearest bin done with removing the pollen from yet another flower Usako needed for her formula. Using the excuse of needing to see his own animal partner to get out of this lab. He for goes heading to the assigned guestroom he and Usako had been given during their time in First Biotape. Knowing the smell of flower's fragrance among other plant wouldn't bother a certain creature.

Had him walking out of massive private laboratory section in lower level of biotape to private elevator. Would have him being taken up to the one of the higher levels being where animal containment. He would get off on turning right at soon as he stepped off out of the elevator heading straight. Not stopping once when blood smeared Animal Handlers greeted him as he passed them. Only stop at one cell when a sight had him instantly opening the human sized hatch to walk though.

"Shouldn't you be with your father and Mr. Komatsu?" Flourite asked the slumbering Lexxion curled against the side of large fox.

A green furred fox instead of red furred one that was size of a fully mature Battle Wolf with plush tail. Looked upon small human snuggled into his side for warmth through glass marbles for eyes. Not wanting to disturb Lexxion with nudge from a wet nose or lick of a tongue on his skin. Since he came down here to get away a from sights of Gourmet Coliseum and the loud noises.

"Couldn't find you or mom." Lexxion yawned blinking away his sleepiness.

"...And Midori was your second best choice?" Flourite asked kneeling down.

"I'm still warming up to Kiss and I left Xene at home." He mumbles trying to sit up. "Wanted something warm."

He was shushed by Flourite when he tried sitting up more when he prop him self on his one of his elbows. To only be placed back on soft pelt belonging to an also sleepy beast welcoming the teen once more. Returning his eyes toward his master for clarification of the wonderful smell coming off him. Wanting to push off young human off him so he would bury his nose in master's chest, and breath in the smell. He would give a chance to take in when Flourite removes his jacket. Willing handing over the article of clothing he draped on Midori's nose before sitting back. Where he ended up beside a now resting Lexxion one more curled into soft pelt of this fox.

"I have my hands full with this one." Flourite whispered when he gazed upon the teen.

For longest time, He would end up watching youth nap away remembering how this wasn't his first time doing this. When the child was allot smaller and learning the ways of Bishokuya from his grandfather. He always escape when given times to rest to his mother's large barn where Midori, or even Shiro.

"May that never chance." He quietly thanked the Gourmet Gods for giving him back his heart.

He sighed before getting to his feet needing to go to the Gourmet Coliseum to collect winnings from fights. Not he had to worry about losing anything since he spread his money rather wisely. Thinking wisely he had placed in small amounts of his own Yen on beasts being used in each fight. Ready to take the same path he took if Lexxion hadn't wakened up and ran after him insisting joining him. Trying his best to wake up from his dopey state mumbling as he tried to speak.

"Didn't you get enough sleep last night?" Flourite asked guiding him into the elevator.

"Force to stay up by Mansam in celebration party for Mom." Lexxion yawned.

"He forgets you're growing and need at least eight hours of slumber a night..." Angry boiling up from within was smoldered by sparkling eyes hadn't stopped him.

"You know it's just his way of making me feel welcomed." Lexxion leaned some to kiss elder on his cheek.

That was welcomed by Flourite, who pressed the button marked Gourmet Coliseum floor for the elevator. He wrapped one his arms around Lexxion's lower waist to hold him close to his body. Noticing signs the youth was trying to stay awake by keeping his eyes open and head from looking down. Would have him using one his tucked away plants to help the boy coax through the day. If he didn't catch him inhaling the smells still lingering in his clothes without his jacket.

"You smell like ..." Lexxion mumbled recognizing scent right off. "Mom when she's uses her sweet Lips poison."

"Able to stunt beast with captures level 60 or over at half usage." Flourite recalled. "At full usage on human being leaves them in comatose trance."

"Turn her lips pink like pedals of a peaceful flower and softest from fur of a Boar Tiger." Lexxion inhaled smell further.

He recalled one time during his pre-teen years he by accident ended up getting a kiss from his mother. What the he didn't know back there her oral cavity weren't covered in Sweet Lips poison. When she pressed her lips to his flesh cheek to wish him good luck during some training task. Over he fell in to her arms complaining about a feeling funny unable to stay on his little feet. His own anti-bodies were strong enough to fight off side effect of Sweet Lips poison that kept him conscious.

"IGO researchers worked within an antidote." Flourite lifts Lexxion's left pointer finger. "All it took was a single drop of your blood."

He folds boy's hand allowing him to on lean on his and take on other smells fabric of his clothes soaked up. Not caring until they arrive on their wanted floor Lexxion would be lulled to sleep by each smell.

Zebra ended up being reunited with Usako with the lab she was using when delivering a few crates of plants. Before he could hide away scarred side of his face when she reached out to with gloved cover hand. Across the room she sent him from her simple side wards kick using only 10th of her strength.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Her scream could be heard all the way to regal Wall.

One of her few favorite traits about the four boys she helped raised was their physical traits or abilities. Sani's hair, Toriko's endless appetite, Coco's poison, and Zebra's complete facial structure. When she felt ragged scar on side of his face asking if he met her son yet mood went south. Instead of giving a moment to defend him self or even chance or verbally defend reason behind the scar. She acted quickly by grabbing one of his hands by the wrist and sent him into the air. Using the strength hidden in her small frame with an angry of Mother Beast ready to kill.

"NO WONDER MY SON IS SCARED SHITLESS OF YOU!" She practically screeched. "YOU LOOK LIKE AN ONI!"

Zebra just sat there in what remains of destroyed lab ended up smiling for short minutes at what she had to say. To only be silent when she started to calm down unable to use her Intimidation on him. Dragging a chair behind her when she marched over in her designer boots to where he sat. She would sit down in facing him discarding an apron and gloves she been wearing.

"You still got that body." Zebra watched her settled in.

"Thank my Gourmet Cells." She knew what he spoke of.

Not that she wanted to admit natural selection had started preserving her beauty during her developing years. Attention she got from this part of her evolution to the person Zebra saw before him. Had her taking advantage of every perk offered or given to her to get things done.

"You know..." Zebra ended up smirking. "...if it doesn't work with Coco?"

"You really want to be a father figure to a teen?" She asked him about Lexxion. "His coming into his own array of poisons."

"We can create our own?" Zebra asked in flirtiest tone of voice.

"I rather stick with what I got." She wasn't flirting back.

She ended up crossing her arms to lean back in her seat so not falling for the whole charm he tried to use. Being reminded of unscarred smile he would give her after he and Toriko snuck a piece of her White Apple pie. Where the excuse her father's animal partners some how stole her pie off the windowsill.

"Get anything good from the Gourmet World?" Zebra asked about her latest trip.

"Reason why I'm making my own Battle Sprays." She mentions what she was working on.

"Heard Old Man approved of your project." He took in the smells.

"You know daddy." She sighed. "Always supportive."

Roll of her eyes told him other wise at her last statement about Ichiryuu ever approving or accommodating. Something that threaten the one of few rules that revolved around use of Battle related fragrances. Not that she worked hard toward having her newfound work toward finding new scents.
