Next New Age Abraxas 1:1-5

For once it seemed as though Kuroki was first to arrive on the scene. He lingered in the treeline, rocking back on his dark paws as he wondered whether he ought to hang back and wait for everyone else to show up. The call didn't sound as though he was in trouble, so there was no reason for him to delay but even now he got the prickling temptation to just be tricky for the sake of it. With a sniff he dismissed the call and trotted onto the scene, all playful bounce in his steps as he drew in close, his tail wagging in a friendly blur. He'd seen her around enough to know that Toxicity was his Mother's sister, his aunt, but for some reason not quite family in the same way uncle Plague was. He wondered why as he stopped before her and gave her a lazy little head-dip bow. She'd set up all sorts of goodies, bables and trinkets that drew in his gaze, long enough that a silence settled in before he actually greeted her as he probably ought to. Better late than never, right?

"Yo!" This seemed to be his favourite greeting as of late, casual and something he knew Hattori would not approve of. But he wasn't here to shoot Kuroki dirty looks, he was as free as could be! "Aunt Tox what are you doing?" He asked with a sparkle in his dark eyes as he shimmied on the spot, all eager and excited. "Can I join in?"

If there was anything, Kuroki never wanted to be left out. He had to be involved and in the know!
