    This was no power discovery, no hidden treasure. No, it was something completely different.


    Crispus had accidentally walked by the wrong NPC at the wrong time. Whenever their words were done, they looked down, very embarrased and shocked at the small kit staring up at them. And then, after being sent off with the instructions of "forget what I said", what did he do? Exactly the opposite. As he was walking around clumsily, the serval had slipped, and one single word escaped his mouth. One that he had assumed was meant to be used casually, but especially when someone was mad.


    "Fuck!" he exclaimed, looking at his scratched up legs that had small burns and blood on them from the ground. The sting of the dust in his wounds made him bite his lip, and he yelled it again from the annoyance of the fall. He could've gone on with his day, but now he had scratches to clean off, putting him a few seconds closer to death. It had drawn eyes towards him, but with the upset look that coated the child's face, the majority hurried on. Yes, Crispus had uncovered a swear word, one of the worst ones to have as a first profanity ever uttered from a being's mouth. Dusting himself off, he sat there, mumbling sentences under his breath laced with the same exact word. Sure, he hated repetitiveness, but this new sound to his dictionary felt odd on his mouth.


    But it was displayed on the air by a mouth who was unaware of it's significant badness. Crispus was very curious to the meaning of this word, and soon he'd find that he shouldn't use words without the knowledge of their definition. This wasn't him trying to be rude, it was just the youth doing what he did best: find things out he shouldn't have discovered.

    His child.


    Those noises had come from his child.


    Matty stood off, watching from a distance; completely shocked. Of course, the scent of blood and injury had drawn the vampire closer... but upon hearing that word come from his son the father wasn't sure what he felt. What he was supposed to feel.


    Padding closer, with unsure steps, the starry Serval stated clearly, "Son, that's not a word you should use. It's a bad word." Of course, he was expecting to hear a 'why? it's just a word!' or something similar, so while the male's head reeled he tried to think of a response.


    Was he overreacting? Under-reacting? He didn't know what the hell he was doing.

    He looked up at his dad as he approached, nodding. "Why was someone saying it?" he asked, curiousity sprinkling his expression. Why would others use the word if it was bad? Crispus was confused. The smaller serval's mind was slowly turning gears as he thought of why kind of questions. It was complicated, how it was bad. Was there a history behind it? There must've been a root meaning. The boy piped up again, "What does it mean?"


    The word would stopped being used by Crispus, but he somewhat enjoyed the word. Like some other kids who had their first swear, he thought it sounded cool, and something that most wouldn't speak of. It was a common experience, nothing too uncommon. His mind immediately stomped himself down, bad, bad, bad. If Enigmaticsoul didn't want him using the word, he would halt the sound from being formed from his mouth.

    Someone had said that word around his son? The Serval's eyes flickered for a few moments, an almost dark, sinister expression creeping into his frame. If he found who did that... they'd regret it.


    Ah, but, perhaps, he was overreacting. Sighing slightly, Matty relaxed as he looked down at his son, trying to explain calmly, "'Fuck' is a swearword. Sometimes people swear when they're in lots of pain or they're hurt, but other people look down upon swearing. Swearwords are bad words, and your mother and I don't usually use them. Especially not the 'f' word, that's a particularly bad one." But why? Well... honestly, why was 'fuck' considered a swearword? Pausing for a few moments to think, the vampire continued, "What does it mean? Er... it depends on the situation. But usually it's quite rude to use such a word, if you ask me." He wasn't about to explain the different situations where 'fuck' might be used... oh god.


    Was Matty going to have to give his son the sex talk one day? All of his children? How you 'do the do'? Oh god, Matty felt sick.

Tama would add, approaching shortly after Mint, before drawing to a halt by Matty, fictional brows furrowing. "Please try not to use a word like that." Matty had covered.. almost everything there was to cover on the word, actually, so it didn't seem as if she'd need to add to that, but she agreed on the fact that.. she didn't think it was a good idea to let her child go around swearing already.


    "Anyway, how did you manage to get those wounds, Crispus?" The leader would inquire, ashen orbs settling on the small scars that remained scattered across his pelt. It almost resembled the aftermath of a nasty fall - it wasn't drastically bad, but nonetheless, her fictional brows furrowed in concern at the sight of such.

    [justify]Despite her parents' words, Perspectivekit quietly repeats the swear under her breath, a few metres away from the group. She's not really intent on using the word so actively, not when her mother and father specifically said not to, but she wants to at least be able to say it correctly. Or, well, in the way her brother said it, anyways. It sounds cooler through his mouth, rather than hers that makes it sound like she's lengthening the sound of the vowel.


    Of course, hearing something about injuries concerning his brother instantly grabs her attention. She quickly ceases her mutterings and bounds on over, stopping beside her mother when her eyes locate the crimson liquid that stains his fur. Her nose wrinkles slightly; she's never liked the harsh, iron smell that lingers in the air whenever blood is drawn. Still, she doesn't let that get in the way, and sits beside Tama patiently. Percy, too, is curious about the injuries, but she knows asking again won't really help.
