Regent smiles at the queen and shrugs his shoulders. "That mostly depends on the nature of the void and how much of your own personality has transfered into the egg. My guess is something very lovely but also with a bit of uncontrollable spirit and mild rancor due to the deep void personification that has attached itself to your family and its own lust for destruction."
He sits up testing his strength and he finally can sit all the way up on his own power. "Now the real challenges can begin, you will feel disoriented for a while but that should ware off as you gain knowledge over controlling the void and having it flow through you and not just acting for you."

Ereshkigal shivers slightly at the mention of the void flowing through her. She regards the egg still in her hand a little warily.
"It's probably going to bite. And pee on things." She says wrily, smiling crookedly.
"I so prefer my pets to be sentient. Ah well." She lets her hands rest in her lap, the free one curling over the cloudy egg.

Regent's lips curl in a wry smirk. "Charming..." he says looking at the egg. "... and deviant. I'd expect no less." he laughs.

"It's moving.... " Ereshkigal says lifting up her hand on top of the egg hurriedly and stares as the egg begins to first bulge oddly then stretch in her lap- cracking and shifting as what ever is inside struggles to be born.
The kitsune Pe'ri stares down at it her free hand hovering over it, a nervous look on her face. She reaches down to pull at the shell and jerks her hand back as the creature within the cracking egg seems to lunge at her fingers- a small black muzzle emerging along with a set of sharp white teeth. With a few seconds a pair of paws scrabble out of the shell cracking it further and further as thick blue-black goop oozes all over Ere and the couch even dripping onto the floor and staining the light wood greenish.
Ere tries to help again, getting the void ooze all over her hands, turning them blue too and then yanks her hand away with a yelp when the slime and egg-shell covered little fox bites her.
She puts her bleeding finger in her mouth and then takes it right back out again with disgusted face at the taste of the void goop.
"I was right... wicked little monster has sharp teeth!"

Regent watches the egg hatch with great attention. His eyes drift to the little teeth as they nip at Ere. The little fox looks like a slimy mess and is clearly agitated enough to be problematic.
"Allow me get you a towel majesty, you might also consider standing over the sink to save what is left of your fine upholstery from being died void black and retaining that strange odor."
He says with a twinged look on his face from the smell. He stands uneasily ignoring his weakened state and hurries off as fast as he can to snatch a thick towel from the bathroom.

Ere nods at Regent, her gaze on the the snarling fox currently in her lap. Wisps and twists of her dress start to clean up some of the void goop but more if it drips off the fox and the little beast growls and snaps at the black mist. It catches a tendril in it's teeth and yanks making Ere twitch a little at the sensation.
Slowly she holds her hand to the void fox making soft noises in her throat. It little beast stiffens then sniffs her fingers and after a long pause pushes it's head under her hand, demanding petting and smearing more black goop up Ere's arm.
"Great... now we're both going to need a bath." She mutters petting it despite the thick strands of goop that cling to her hand.

Regent returns to ere with two thick towels. one for the new born and one for the Queen. He looks at them both covered in the slime and he cracks a slow smile...
"Well, at least it is small. I doubt you would have had the room for a horse, or a troll..."
He says trying to lighten the mood.

Ere glares at him, but there's no heat behind it. And after a moment she smiles in return reaching for the towels.
"A troll eh? Why on earth would my power turn into a troll?" She tilts her head to one side as she teases him. The little fox turns and yips at him, sitting down on Ere's lap and staring Regent down.

"Who knows what the darkness could breed, I'm simply amazed at how it seeks out the most vile and temperamental traits of those who dare to tap into the stream and manifests that which torments in spades."
He says with a look of uncertainty at the dark fox on the Queen's lap.
"Still the darkness must at least respect and/or admire you as it chose to be accommodating as far as size goes. The rest is yet too early to tell."
Regent then reaches out to pluck off a bit of shell on the little fox's ear.

The fox growls at Regent but permits the touch it's ears swiveling back. It shifts a little still growling to butt against his hand demanding attention.
Ere looks at it for a moment in light of his comment. A wry sad smile twists her lips.
"Then I'll play along. I dub thee Tenko." She says tapping the fox on the nose and narrowly missing being bitten again for her trouble. She throws a towel over the fox and rubs vigorously keeping Tenko's head away from her.

Regent casts a wary eye on Tenco as he removes the shell bits. The little fox is very contradictory in its behavior as it is needy but anti-social in the same right. Very confusing to deal with.
"How do you feel? Are you able to tap into the void now without being overwhelmed?"

Ereshkigal pauses a look of concentration passing over her features. She hesitates.
"Eeeh, it's a little better. I can't understand what she's saying which is a relief." Ere's expression brightens, and she looks happier than she has since Regent met her.
"This might actually work. So what about this little beast?" She says as Tenko jumps off her lap and crawls under the couch. The fox darts out to bite at Regent's ankles, but doesn't connect and retreats again- waiting....

"Ah... yes. Constraint would be best for her. Though I feel that too much may prove disastrous if is is too stifling."
As Tenco snips at his feet Regent lowers his hands opposite each other to snatch the little fox when it reaches for him again. He seizes her firmly by the scruff of her furry neck and Regent lifts her gently. He raises her to eye level and his azure eyes study her inquisitively as he admires her for a brief moment.
"She is deceptively strong for her size. I would bet those teeth could snip off a finger should she get the unfortunate appendage within in her range."
Regent strokes her belly fluff for a moment with his free hand and he looks to Ere with a smile. His fingers meld into the void animal for a moment as he tests Tenco's resolve. He the places her down on the sofa and a silver line encircles her neck swiftly. The stiff silver thickens and it shapes into a very pretty and strong woven, banded ring about the little fox's neck. The collar is quite fetching next to her black fur. The darkened silver is a continuous band with no breaks in the metal. This is so the little fox, or anyone else will find it quite impossible to be broken or removed from her without considerable knowledge to disenchant the bewitched metallic charm.
"Lets see what you make of this little one."
He says with a pat to her head and lets her go from his firm grasp.

Tenko promptly starts to try gnaw on the collar with her sharp little teeth. She starts turning circles on the couch snapping at it and when she can get it in her mouth chewing vigorously on it. A constant low growl, more like a string of curses than anything else comes from the little black fox as she fights with the silver collar.
Ereshkigal watches Tenko's battle with some amusement as her dress cleans up the last of the goopy mess. Except for the blue-ish stains on the furniture you might never know it had even happened.

"Well, I must say she has no lack of personality."
The dark lord says of the little fox. His gaze switches from amusement at Tenco to one of concern to Ereshkigal.
"Majesty, I wish we had more time to allow her to acclimate to the environment, however we must begin your acclimation with haste. The surge of the void that has found you to become her host must be fully tamed if you are to retain your grasp and rule it through mastery. Since your father successfully merged wholly with the void, so is it my wish for it to be with you. With my guidance we shall plant the seeds of discipline, that with proper care, will aid you to blossom into the Empress of the darkness you are destined to become."

Ereshkigal's eyebrow's raise a little but she nods her head.
"Alright, brother, how shall we do that?" She asks very seriously her hands clasped in her lap as she looked between Tenko and Regent.
"Will I need a rolled up newspaper?" Her tone is calm, even and perfectly serious as she watches the fox chewing on it's collar determinedly.

Regent nods, "By training and practice. First we must see what control you do posses and make our starting point from there. We simply need an appropriate training ground as this apartment simply is not equipped for dark arts training."
His eyes drift over the view of the city from the spacious windows of the penthouse and he looks dismayed at the close proximity of the adjacent buildings and lack of privacy in the City.
"We shall need a proper training facility that is both secure, spacious and... out of the view of the average pedestrian. Do you know where we may locate such a place within close vicinity Highness?"

A loud rap on the penthouse door comes as a surprise. "Maintenance Man." He bangs again while ringing the doorbell. "Maintenance." He bellows again.
The sound of paper rustling can be heard and a thud of something getting stuck to the door is clear as day.
The maintenance man jingles his keys as he is attempting to open the door and let himself in.

Ereshkigal jumps and glares at the door, when the maintenance man first bangs on it. Her expression only gets more annoyed, and when the sound of the key in the lock is heard she gets up and goes to the door.
"Go away. Nothing's broken, I didn't call for you and we're trying to work here!" She snarls at the man on the other side, her voice sharp and carrying. Her fingers curl in the fabric of her skirt and Tenko leaves off chewing on her new collar to yap and growl.

The man behind the door sounds surprised by Ere's eruption to his intrusion. "Ah... ma'am... I need to shut down the water to the building. I'm going round posting the notice, and entering the premises of the apartments in the building to shut off and or double check that the faucets, and air-conditioning units are not running. If you could please shut off any appliances, or any other gizmos that require the main water system as it will be shut off for the most of the night for repairs to the main line in the sub basement. Akay?" He says loudly to the peephole as if it were a camera catching him in a burglary or something.
