"Come on, nii-chan, play with us!" Manami cried, bouncing on his toes, while Yonekuni was shuddering and shaking off the remnants of the two snowballs that had hit him in the head and shoulder; he turned, baring his teeth, a croaking growl rising in his throat, arms tucked tight around himself in his ridiculously thick winter coat, and. . .

"Hey!" Kunimasa bounded out with a grin, sliding in front of his closest brother and brushing a hand over Yonekuni's chest, though he probably couldn't feel it through all those layers. "Why don't you go inside?" he urged softly, giving Yonekuni a gentle nudge before turning to Manami and Hidekuni. "I'll play with you!" he called; and later, once they were all tired out, he'd take them through a gentle reminder of why Yonekuni and Shinobu-nii didn't play out in the snow . . . especially Yonekuni.


Yonekuni is half crocodile and half snake; he does not do cold well. >.> The others are all half crocodile or half snake, and the other (dominant) half some variety of feline.
