Rawr, sorry for dropping the ball on this. I actually do have all the images colored, I'm just being lazy =P
MOVING ON!
Ember x Gala's broods
Ember perched on a ledge, watching the bouncing balls of fluff that were his and Gala's children. Two blacks, a dark cobalt, a silver, a golden, and a light brown - a colorful bunch, all distinct in color and personality. Gala watched them from the back of the room, an amused smile on her muzzle as two of her kits tumbled about the room, wrestling.
The approach of potential caretakers made both adults look up from the children, though the kits mostly ignored it, continuing in their play undisturbed by the strangers invading their space.
Birdie
Ulaina and Nedran hung back in the gathering of potentials, Ulaina because she wasn't in the best of moods (it was a bit too early in the day for her tastes, the desert air still cool and the sun just barely above the horizon) and Nedran because of his innate shyness. As the gathered group spread out to approach the various kits, Ulaina grumpily approached the silver kit and - to the quiet amusement of Ember - engaged in a staring match with the kit.
Nedran, on the other hand, hung back, gaze trailing over the different kits. He remained in the back, along the wall, keeping to himself despite the way the other potentials went forward to speak with the kits.
"Why are you back here?"
The anthro-deer blinked and looked down, meeting the dark eyes of the light brown kit. Slender and small, his brown fur still fluffy with baby-fuzz and marked with golden stripes, the kit was clearly one of the younger ones. "I am not... much of a social person," Nedran responded softly.
The kit made a thoughtful noise, then glanced out at the gathering. "And yet you came to be a caretaker."
"That is true."
The kit gave him a piercing, judging look, then nodded once. "I will go with you. Father named me Saerangau."
Name: Saerangau (Sayr-ahn-gau)
Gender: Male
Color: Light Brown with Gold Stripes
Size: Medium-small
Height: 8'4" tall at shoulder
Abilties: Shapeshifting (retains tail, ears, slitted eyes, and coloration), Verbal Speech, Storm magic, Light magic, Wind magic
Personality: Quiet, watchful, respectful
Candidate Name: Nedran
Gender: Male
Species: Anthro Deer
Appearance: Nedran is a slender, almost lanky young man, barely into adulthood as his small, single-point antlers show. His face is the elongated deer-shape, though his eyes are more forward-facing than a normal deer's would be, his ears are large and mobile, tipped in bright white fur. Dark brown fur covers his body, fading to white on his neck and stomach and spotted with black on his back and fading to black at his points. He has a small white bob of a tail, digitigrade legs ending in cloven hooves, and three fingers and a thumb on each hand, tipped with hard black 'nails' that share more in common with hooves than true human-nails.
Personality: Nedran is a gentle, shy creature, preferring to hide in the background and keep attention off of him no matter who is around. Even his close friends can rarely get him to engage in spotlight-generating activities (it usually requires force or alcohol), and even when he is dragged out, he retreats into the shadows as quickly as he can once more. He rarely speaks unless spoken to, and tends to keep to himself when in a group - it's rare to hear him speak unless he's directly spoken to. Not to say that he's unintelligent - in fact, he has a rather brilliant mind, he just prefers to keep his own council.
Airy
Margaret had barely begun to approach the cobalt kit when the two wrestling kits rammed into the back of her legs
hard and sent her tumbling to the ground in a tangle of limbs and tails and paws. Before she could do more than begin to struggle free, one kit - black with golden-yellow stripes - darted out from under her cackling like a hyena, and the other had wriggled about so he was perched on Margaret's chest, nose to nose with her.
He was clearly of the first litter, his sleek black fur with cobalt stripes having no hint of baby-fuzz left, his body larger and more built than several of the other kits. He was also, Margaret was a bit disturbed to note,
grinning. Very. Toothily.
"I claim you in the name of me!" The kit proclaimed, as he rubbed his chin on her face. "Father calls me Arveduin."

Delyar
The small violet dragoness finally stopped in her search, nuzzling Naliest's thigh with a delicate muzzle.
::I will help you wherever you go, Naliest mine.:: she spoke, her mental 'voice' gentle and confident.
::I will be your voice, your ears, and whatever else you need me to be.::
Naliest let out a silent breath and ran a hand over the dragoness' smooth hide.
