Mama time (It's nice having icons again)

[mendedcrayon]

[Been a while since this one has been out and about. But having a baby to look after can really put your social life on hold for a while. Not that she really minded. She enjoyed the bonding time.

But every now and then, she still needs a little "me" time. So little Yani is with a sitter while Namine heads out into the DR for a bit. maybe she'll go have fun, relax, or just restock on some art supplies. The great thing about having free time is she can do what she feels like.]

[She'll be getting a passing smile from a certain Xeha, who's out enjoying the fact there's light around again; he's not alone, with a happy blue-haired toddler in a pushchair looking around the place.]

[mendedcrayon]

[And he'll be getting a polite smile back! As will the adorable little toddler.]

[forza_del_bene]

Good to be out, hm?

[mendedcrayon]

Yeah, no kidding.

[forza_del_bene]

I could have tolerated the lack of light, I suppose. But the ... company was frankly too much.

[mendedcrayon]

Yeah, I know what you mean. Kind of makes it even more frightening when you've got someone to protect as well, huh?

[She experienced her Mama Bear instincts for the first time. Apparently she has the ability to be pretty frightening herself ._.]

[forza_del_bene]

Very much so. [He reaches down to play with the kid's hair- she fidgets - oh, dad, stop it!] It must have been so hard for her... and I don't believe I've checked on her so much at night for quite some time. ...Assuming it was night.

[mendedcrayon]

I don't think I even let Yani out of my arms most of the time.

[Because still just tiny baby ;; Must protect!]

[forza_del_bene]

How old would - ah, she? he? be, then? Though I believe I completely understand.

[mendedcrayon]

Hm..A little over five months now. The time's really gone by fast.

[and Lea was just passing by, but he's also been wondering - maybe being in a world where there are, as he's seen from afar, many veeery similar people means that he doesn't have to hide as much? Not talking to people except very briefly is quickly getting dull.]

Hello there. I'm new here, would you mind telling me a little about this place?

[mendedcrayon]

Oh, sure. Anything in particular you're curious about?

[oneoftraitors]

People suddenly appear here, don't they? Accidently. And it's such a strange world. Is anybody really native here?

[mendedcrayon]

Right. This place is kind of like a crossroads of all worlds. Most people think it has a will of it's own, and it's the one bringing us here.

And, you mean people born here? Sure. But they're generally kids who's parents were dragged in here from other worlds. My daughter was born here, for example.

[oneoftraitors]

I see. So this world would be empty if not for all the forced arrivals. There aren't many worlds like that.

Anyway, my name's Lea. Got it memorized?

[mendedcrayon]

It seems that way.

[Smiles.]

Lea. Got it. I'm Namine.

[DID YOU SAY GIRLS DAY OUT KIRA THINKS YOU DID]

Nami! Nami!

[mendedcrayon]

[THAT IS A SPLENDID IDEA, LITTLE SISTER.]

Kira! Kira!

[Giggles.]

What's up?

[daddyhasagun]

[Namine will be getting a giggly hug]

You gave Yani to Daddy, right? He was complaining about watching all the babies, but not really because you know how he is.

[mendedcrayon]

[And she'll hug back!]

Yeah. I think she was missing spending extra time with everyone too.

[daddyhasagun]

Daddy was grumping saying that he should start charging for running a daycare, but then Yani smiled at him and he melted. It was so cute!

[mendedcrayon]

[Giggles.]

I wish I'd seen it. You know, I think she'll have everyone wrapped around her little finger one day.

[daddyhasagun]

Of course! Girls in our family always do.

[of course this means Yani will have a passel of brothers]

[mendedcrayon]

[Naturally!]

You'll have to teach her about fashion though. I'm still as clueless as ever about it and can't be trusted.

[Can you handle the responsibility, Untie Kira?]

[daddyhasagun]

As if I'd ever let anyone in my family go around badly dressed. I can't wait to dress up Yani in a time Santa dress!

[Kira is the babysitting QUEEN... also, Yani probably has a whole closet of tiny outfits courtesy of Kira]
