❥ Kai's Links
Kai fell in love with her the moment he saw her. His parenting instincts kicked into full force and he swore to do everything he could to keep her happy and safe. Being a world traveler, Kai has a very good understanding of the dangers of the outside world on top of him being a reckless, trouble-making kit in the past, he's terrified of his daughter following in his footsteps. While he has good intentions, he can be too overbearing and smothering which lead him to raise her in a fairly sheltered environment. Unfortunately, this has left their relationship a little strained as Suiko gets older and shows more desire to venture outside of his protection.
Her relationship with her father can be complicated at times but she loves him dearly regardless. Since she was a newborn she's listened to his stories about his world travels and all the Elnin he's met on his journeys. It inspires her to want to be an adventurer herself, but for some reason Kai always shoots down her passion saying it's too dangerous. Because of this Suiko has gravitated more towards books and maps, studying the world instead of experiencing it directly. Though every now and then she'll sneak out with encouragement from a friend or two to explore on her own under Kai's nose.
Rainbow travel buddies!! They're always getting into trouble together whenever they cross paths during their journeys.

Kai has always had a strong connection with his brother, Kor. As kits they'd spend lots of time out in nature together, swimming and playing with each other, watching sunsets, and generally getting into mischief. Kai always loved how Kor beamed when the fireflies came out after they stayed out late at their swimming hole. As adults now with kittoms of their own, they often visit each other to catch up and help each other with their parenting woes while their nieces are off on their play dates.
One of Kai's friends he made on one of his journeys. He has a bit of a crush on Maki and occasionally tries to flirt with him, though he's not sure if Maki doesn't notice or if he simply doesn't care.
Kai resonates strongly with this energetic fluffball. He reminds him of when he was a kit not too long ago with his playful antics and adventurer's heart. Vie showed up randomly one day wanting to play and Kai happily obliged. After realizing the kit was simply wandering around, he offered him a place to stay with his family anytime. Vie tends to come and go, but he's always welcome for as long as he wants.
Kai also quietly has his eye on him as a suitable mate for Suiko, though blindly unknowing that he's not the most ideal match for her.
After being fostered by Kai, tail wrestling became his daily hobbies. Aspiring to polish his battle *coughs play skills, he often asks Kai to play along with him. Maybe because of their similar personalities, they get along very well and bonded in no time. Although he views Kai as more of a brother than a dad, there’s no doubt that he treasures and secretly admires him; a secret he’d never admit. When intimidated or uncomfortable, Vie would usually take shelter in between Kai’s front legs but is often chased out. He just wanted some protection.. ;////; ))
He values the kinship that she has with his grandson, Nué, and shows her kindness whenever possible. She doesn't generally say much around him but he will bring her a trinket from his travels every now and then as a token of his good will.
She's wary of him, not knowing how to handle him being so energetic and overbearing. She doesn't know how to act around him but does her best to be respectful due to his connections to Suiko and Nué. She usually feels very awkward and embarrassed in his presence.
