Home for the Holidays

[Puck]

Puck smirked, floating onto the unicorn's back to his spot behind Clopin. Tying his suitcase to the other end of the saddle, he then wrapped his arms around the gypsy's torso familiarly.
Eying the saddle, he commented, "I see that you finally got a saddle. Bareback got too rough for you?"

[Clopin]

"Well look who's talking, Mr. I've-almost-fallen-off! I said we would need a saddle for him eventually. Besides, how else would we carry this luggage?" Clopin said, as he nudged Bob's side with the heel of his shoe. The unicorn reared up, and flew out the window, tugging on the reins. But the gypsy had a firm hold on them, so Bob didn't have too much power.
"...we left the window open. Oh well, Grell can close that." Clopin said, with a laugh.

[Puck]

Puck nodded, turning back to look at the still open window. "Yes, whenever he comes in to clean, or whatever he calls it," Puck rolled his eyes with a laugh. He had a feeling that he would have to clean the room again when he came back, as Grell's cleaning abilities left, er, much to be desired.
As they flew closer towards their destination, Puck turned back to Clopin. "Now, I just want to warn you, though you've probably already figured this out. My parents are a bit...alright, I'll just say it. They suck," Puck laughed. "And my siblings aren't much better. But one of the good things about our house is that pretty much everybody hates everybody, so they'll probably ignore us most of the time."

[Clopin]

"I don't mind, as long as they don't come after me, and try to kill me." Clopin said with a laugh. "Some parents I know don't take too well to their son or daughter bringing their boyfriend or girlfriend home." he said.
Meanwhile, a rainbow had formed behind Bob, leaving one candy-coated cloud. Clopin smiled as he looked down. "One of these days, I am going to grab a piece of that cloud." he said.

[Puck]

Puck laughed. "I'm sure you will," he grinned, staring down at the clouds for a moment.
It seemed that they had nearly reached the airport, and once again Puck was grateful that he had been able to convince his mother against sending their private plane to come pick him up. It was rather embarrassing to deal with going through all that.
He hoped that when they got there that they would be able to visit the Xanatos', his former employers. He was beginning to miss them, especially their son, Alexander, and the family that lived with them.
"Before we get to the airport, I've got to call my mom," Puck smiled apologetically, pulling out his cell phone. Dialing the number, he put the phone to his ear, speaking when someone answered on the other end.
"Hey, mom, it's Pu-I mean, it's Robin. I'm almost at the airport. Yes, I said almost. Mom, I slept in, it's Christmas vacation. Mom, I-mom. Mom, I just...." Puck sighed, pulling the phone away from his ear for a few moments. He rolled his eyes, then put the phone back to his ear. "Yes, mom. I know. Yes. Yes. I love you, too. No, I'm not lying. No I'm not. No I'm not! Alright, I am!"
Puck snapped the phone shut with a sigh. Turning back to Clopin, he smiled tiredly. "She's expecting us."

[Clopin]

"Sounds like it." Clopin said with a laugh. As Bob's hooves finally touched the ground, Clopin hopped off, taking his suitcase with him. He then turned to wait for Puck, while he stored Bob's saddle and reins away.
"You'll be here when we come back, right?" Clopin asked.
Bob nodded. "Of course, y'all. Now get to your flight, 'cause there's only about 20 more minutes left for boarding!

[Puck]

"Thanks, Bob," Puck nodded to the unicorn, and, taking Clopin's hand, pulled the other to where they needed to go. He ran rather quickly, and for a few minutes there, he could have sworn that he felt his feet leave the ground. Hopefully Clopin was keeping up.
At last they reached the entrance to the plane, and they were quickly boarded along with lots of other passengers. They were practically shoved into their seats, what with everyone hurrying onto the plane. With a sigh, Puck fell into his seat, glad to at last get away from the crowd.

[Clopin]

Clopin kept up with Puck's speed, as they rushed through the terminal, and onto their plane. Unicorns were one thing, but airplanes were another.
As he and Puck settled down into their seats, after being jostled through the aisle, Clopin looked out the window. It was an awfully small view, but it had always been his favorite part about planes.
"So, who will be there to pick us up?" Clopin asked.

[Puck]

"My brothers," Puck grinned. "They're some of the only ones that I'm looking forward to seeing while we're there."
Puck leaned back with a sigh, a smile still on his face. Coyote and Raven could often pass for twins, both in their personality and looks. And, if Puck had been born with darker skin and black hair, then they definitely could have been triplets.
Puck suddenly remembered that Clopin didn't know about any specific brothers of his; just what little he had mentioned about his family before.
"Their names are Raven and Coyote. They look pretty much the same, expect Raven wears his hair long and in a ponytail, and Coyote keeps his short."

[Clopin]

"Ah, I see." Clopin said with a laugh, as he kept his face pressed against the window. The plane was taking off, and he was watching them leave "this star-crossed world" behind, as a song of his always said. When they were up in the air, he turned back to Puck.
"So, besides Coyote and Raven, who else do you...sort of get along with?" Clopin asked.

[Puck]

Puck frowned, having to think about the question for a moment. "Well, there's Anansi, we get along pretty well. But he can be sort of a freak. He likes to play with spiders," Puck shuddered. "Don't let him come anywhere near your plate when we eat. He's a bit of a glutton," Puck laughed. "Oh, and there's Anubis. We don't really talk much but....okay, pretty much everybody stays away from Anubis. He's a little...odd, and to be honest, we're all quite terrified of him," the boy smirked.
"Odin is okay. He doesn't really do much with the rest of us. He's a bit serious. There's Grannie, well, that's not her real name but it's what we all call her. She's sort of overbearing. And, she and Raven...they don't get along. And then there's the triplets," Puck sighed, leaning his head back to stare out the window for a moment. "Phoebe, Selene, and Luna. All of them are total kiss ups, and I can't stand a single one of them. And, last but certainly the least, there's Molly," Puck gave a disgusted expression. "She would have to be my least favorite sibling. But, with luck, we won't have to deal with her much."
Sighing heavily, Puck leaned back in his chair again. "Now, as for all the others, I either don't know their names or can't remember them at the moment."

[Clopin]

Clopin nodded slowly, smiling as he leaned into his chair.
"Well, with luck, we'll run into those you like most." he said with a laugh. "But I'd like to meet Anubis. Odd people are my forte." Clopin said, looking back out to the window. They were flying through an unusually thick patch of clouds, so thick that he could no longer see the blue sky anymore. Clopin tilted his head a bit, raising an eyebrow as he looked out.
"Puck, do you see that?" Clopin asked.

[Puck]

"Hmm?"
Puck looked out the window, noticing the instant weather change with a raised eyebrow. Noticing nothing else unusual, Puck sat back in his seat again. "Oh, the clouds? They're always like that around home. We must be getting close."
He hoped that they were. Though he wasn't exactly looking forward to this visit, it would be nice to get off this plane. Even now the clouds seemed to be clearing slightly. They just had to be getting closer.

[Clopin]

Clopin nearly jumped as he felt the plane go into a sudden descent from the height of the clouds. The pilot announced that they had now reached their destination. Clopin sunk back into his seat, looking back out of the window. The clouds had indeed cleared to reveal a beautiful sky, and the plane was now touching down, as it rolled into its designated landing area.
"Well, it seems like we're home." Clopin said with a laugh.

[Puck]

Puck smiled, and was about to say something before the flight attendant was announcing that they could now get off the plane. Grabbing his suitcase in one hand, he gave the other to Clopin, and soon they were back to being pushed and shoved through the aisle. At last, they managed to be pushed in the direction of the exit, and then they were on their way.
Turning to Clopin, Puck smiled. "My brothers should be somewhere inside the airport. If they're not late," Puck rolled his eyes with a smirk.
