-He was becoming weary with all of the caution he had to go through. Each and everyday he would have to wake up and dress himself properly so that handling Taiden would not become a hellish mistake. He would slide on a sweater and one glove to cover his only hand everyday simply to avoid hearing the child scream. Unfortunatly, December had misplaced his glove and was forced to go without it for the day, thus he found he was having to be even more cautious than usual. He kept his hand far away from Taiden's flesh and form. Instead, he held the boy in the fake arm of black steel. It seemed the thing had proven useful in the long run, for it made carrying the infant less of an impossibility, or rather, chore.
Quietly the albino slipped into the building where he'd first encountered the girl and the little female child. He could still picture the cookie incident within his mind. Taiden had been unforgivingly cruel to the poor thing! But, he supposed there had been a reason. Perhaps Taiden had not liked cookies? No, December knew that was false, for the child had consumed many cookies. A sigh was emitted and he quickly shoved the thoughts of Taiden and his first meeting with the girl and the other infant away. His feet had slowly come to a halt; scarlet eyes had glimpsed upward to eyeball the nearly empty room within the entrance of the HQ.-
-Unlike his 'elder sibling', Taiden had not been weary due to caution, but rather pain. Since they had first met the two of them had had incidents.. December would frequently forget that touching him was forbidden, thus causing the young boy an unbearable amount of hurt. Despite it, Taiden found he was still attached to the man. He held no grudge, knowing that the guy was trying his hardest to do everything properly. Also despite himself, he found he was unwilling to budge when picked up. Instead of squirming he remained perfectly still, nestled into December's shirt; fingers holding the fabric tightly.-

If there was one thing that Tyr would never be weary of, it would be caution. He excercised it daily; and for good reason too! All one would have to do would be to look at the impossibly grotesque toddler at his side, and everything would make sense.
With Serkan around, you had no choice but to be especially cautious.
Her attachment, however, was much less harder on the eyes; and despite his baby fat, he was perfect in every way; impossibly blonde hair to contrast the girl's constantly moving black, and the brightest of blue eyes to contrast the complete lack thereof in his twin; his face held not a single scar, not a single blemish...unlike his twin, who constantly bled from the eyes and was covered in still angry-looking cuts, some still bleeding. She also had rope burn marks around her throat, upper arms and wrists. With all their differences, it would be next to impossible to even consider that they were twins; if it were not from the obvious fact they both had no legs, and were instead connected to eachother by a constantly moving grey whisp, one that spiralled into a small spiral against the ground.
Tyr and Andy were aptly dressed for the winter; scarves, gloves, coats, you name it; but Serkan wore nothing more than a light grey gown that was stained with blood that may or may not have been her own. Why they were at the HQ was anyone's guess; but perhaps it had something to do with their home life; the most logical guess was that Tyr wanted to give his family members, his mate included, a chance to relax and be free of the helion and her impossibly perfect twin.
As it stood, the trio had gotten into the Headquarters a few minutes before the other two entered; the teenager almost didn't notice, for he was so wrapped up in attempting to unwrap a giggling Kandajha from his scarf, which the boy found so amusing he kept wrapping himself back up. The other twin was completely still, staring at the space before her (perhaps she was staring at the door, it was hard to tell); and she never moved a muscle, save for her ever-moving hair and her ever-bleeding eyes.

-Taiden had to admit that he felt drowsy. His eyelids had been drooping and threatening to slam themselves shut. He wasn't tired, of course not! It was simply the motion created by December's pace. The sudden halt, however, had pushed away a majority of the drowsy feeling he'd been suffering from. The rest of it had been mauled and destroyed by an unfamiliar, and not welcome, sight. The bleeding eyes and sheer awkwardness of a stranger had caused Taiden to shuffle and turn his head. He was not afraid, simply slightly disturbed by the blood. Those dark green eyes, full of hubris, ignored all other sights in the room. They were plastered, glued to the strange thing he'd laid eyes upon after December's motion had stopped. What.. was the thing?-
-December had hardly noticed much of anything at first. His mind had been gone. It had been resting, on vacation, simply not functioning at it's full potential. Then again, it rarely functioned at it's 'full potential', which was why he had such difficulty realizing petty things such as the candy wrapper attached to one of his black tennis shoes. Shaking his head, he forced his focus to return somewhat. It was at that moment that he came to realize they were not alone at the HQ. There were others there, strangers to him for certain. Not a smile or wave was given. Instead of either friendly gestures a simple statement was given.- "O..Oh.... Hello." -His oblivious nature continued, for he had not seemed to notice the bleeding eyes, nor the fluid at all.-

(( Pretend I'm on my Tyr account. xD ))
If Serkan wasn't looking at the door to begin with, she certainly was now; though again it was hard to tell because she had no eyes to start with, nor had the moved. Chances were that once she turned her attention to Taiden, those empty sockets of hers burned her critical and unpleasant stare directly into him; usually it was that feeling alone that let people know that she was eyeing them, even if she hadn't moved. After all, she had no eyes to shift, but her attention surely could. She said nothing as usual, and merely 'stared' back at the other boy.
Andy, on the other hand, was much more active and vocal. By chance he saw the two newcomers before they spoke, and the Perfect Angel that was connected to the bleeding helion gave a most pleased gasp, stopping in his little game with his guardian to stare at them with wide eyes. "'lo!" He cried out excitedly, waving his chubby arms above his head; how Tyr managed to wrestle the boy's coat off without him noticing was beyond anyone...he was used to this sort of thing, after all.
Their guardian, a Teenager with his waist length raven black hair pulled back into a loose ponytail, was the last to gaze at the pair. He was taking full advantage of Kandajha's new disraction to remove all the boy's winter gear before he decided to play again. Once the clothing had been successfully removed, Tyr fixed the dark teal t-shirt the boy was wearing, and finally looked towards the door. "Ah, Hello...Pardon me, I didn't see you there." He smiled, closing his cobalt eyes for but a moment as he removed his own scarf, and hung it up beside his charge's clothes.
"My name is Tyr and th--"
"Kandjha! Andee~" Andy interupted Tyr without really meaning to; he had been about to introduce himself this entire time. The blonde boy waited a moment or two before he realized his twin had yet to say a word. Giving her a curious look, he hesitantly lifted his finger and pointed to his helion other half. "An' Serkan." He introduced her, completely lost as to why she wouldn't want to introduce herself.
"...Right. Andy and Serkan." Tyr finished, ruffling the boy's blonde hair. It was obvious that even he tried to stay away from Serkan; and one could guess where he aquired his own cuts, scars and bruises that crisscrossed his skin (most was hidden by long-sleeved shirts and gloves), not to mention the single swipe from his cheek to his chin. "And you two are..?" He was, as well, attempting to be friendly; about a month ago he wouldn't have been caught dead outside with Serkanda; so this was HUGE progress!

(( xd Sorry about late response.))
-December had remained where he stood. Those calm eyes were glued upon the other group. When he had first walked in he could have sworn the building were empty. Then again, he supposed his focus had simply been too divided. A weak smile was given. It was one as delicate and fragile as a withering flower. Once the introductions were completed he allowed himself a solitary step foward, which had triggered the slight crackle of the candy bar wrapper resting upon his shoe. Yet another new feature to the scene was painted in! A wrapper? He could not recall having stepped on on before. Color instantly began to rush into the snowy face that was his own. The white cheeks were painted pink-red, a slightly look of embaressment emerging. Silently he leaned over to grasp the wrapper. All the while he struggled, balancing Taiden in that robotic arm while tugging at the wrapper with his good hand.
He gave a glance to the wrapper once it was removed from his shoe. A pink goo was stuck to it. A smelling, pink goo if one wanted to be technical. Bubble gum. A sigh was emitted as he crumbled the wrapper and tucked it into his pocket thoughtlessly.- "I didn't see you, either. Pleasure... Tyr?" -He spoke the name with hesitence, afraid of mispronouncing it. Quickly his eyes flinted to the two children.- "And.. the two of you." -He began to realize the appearences. The grotesque Serkan, and then the more attractive, easy on the eyes Kandjah. As quick as his gaze had been set on the two it was returned to Tyr when the final statement processed. Who were they? He tried to make his smile more bold, stronger.- "December. I'm December, and this is Taiden."
-Taiden had done nothing more than stare at the group with burning curiosity. The morbid appearence of one of the other little ones caught his a quarter of his attention, while the rest was delivered to what he considered to be a gorgeous male. Those dark emerald eyes of his seemed to move, observing everything, taking it into memory. A slight shuffle was made, followed by a sort of noise that was near inaudiable. His grip on December's shirt tightened; his mouth was opened to allow a slurred sentance to come out. Ah. Unfortunate as it was, the poor boy was not quite at speaking levels.- "Name Tai."

As hard as Tyr was trying, his own smile was about as fragile as the ghost-white male before him. He wasn't used to interaction with others, especially outside of his mate and the adopted children that he and Pales had gathered around them. The teenager nodded a bit at the correct pronounciation of his name; it was easy! His friends used to tease him by writing it as 'tear' because it sounded the same. "Pleasure's all mine, December." He willed his voice to sound cheerful just as he willed his smile to grow stronger. Guess they both had unusual names! Tyr took special care to not pull attention to the whole wrapper and gum incident; to do so would be rude. "So..." He started. "...What brings you here?" Pales would be so proud of him for this!
Unfortunately, Serkan didn't have the same notion as Tyr. Her chilly attention had shifted towards the creature with the metal arm, and a morbid grin formed on her lips when she saw the crimson blush flood his cheeks. A low, rasping series of breaths came from her, and it was obviously her way of laughing; unsettling and grotesque as it sounded, it matched her appearance perfectly. Kind of slow.., She thought to herself, paying no attention to her annoyingly happy twin, nor the no doubt stupid child the blushing man held...Instead, she put her full attention on the 'slow' white man, as she found him oddly entertaining. Just to note, she thought everyone was stupid or dimwitted at first meeting, and her opinion ususally worstened later...accept in her half-brother's case. Armel had won a fraction of her respect in a move that was either brave, or incredibly stupid...she had yet to decide which it was, however.
"Tai." Andy repeated to himself, tapping his index finger against his chin; somehow, it sounded different when he said the boy's name. "Tai! ...Taaaai...TaiTaiTai..." He repeated, trying to make it sound the way the other boy had; still no luck! He looked positively confused as to why his voice seemed so different to him...but gave up when Serkan laughed. The pure angel looked at his ugly demon half, tilting his head in an almost canine manner. "Why?" He quizzed her...but upon receiving an unpleasant hiss in return, he shrugged and went back to paying attention to Taiden. "'lo" He repeated, holding up one of his hands in greeting. "...Down?" The question was doubled by a point to the ground near him, his head tilting once more. Why didn't the boy come down? "Play?" It never occured to him Serkan wouldn't want to move and play; but not that it really seemed to care to him.

( ;_; So sorry about the wait. I responded, guess Gaia ate my post, though. D: Likes to do that. -mudges Gaia.- )
-December attempted to force the smile to remain. For a moment he did not speak, for he had been occupied observing the two young ones lingering about the stranger. One was simply disturbing, but it was nothing to intimidate December. He had been around the block, seen some odd things... His eyes had floated to the other child, and then back to Tyr. What brought him there? Ah, he supposed it was a mere gut feeling, a desire to return to the building where Taiden had first encountered the child with the cookies.- "I'm not quite sure. I was.. Suppose to be heading to the market. Gut said to come here, though." -A nervous laugh was given.- "I havn't... Seen you before. Do you come here often?" -A silly question. December knew he rarely came to the building, which was possibly the reason he'd never seen the male before.-
-Taiden had given the fair boy a puzzled look. He was all too pleasent, all too attractive. Some burning feeling had settled within his stomach, some past craving that had not been satisfied. He smiled coyly at the boy, discarding Serkan's presence all together. Quietly he began to squirm; tug on December's shirt.- "Down." -He chimed, half enthusiastically.-
-The albino's eyebrows had knitted together as Taiden began to rock and chant his incantation of 'down, down, down'. Obedient as he was, December obeyed and set the child down on the floor cautiously, doing all that he could to manuver the robotic arm about to gently place Taiden on the ground.- "Behave..." -He whispered to Taiden, suspecting he were plotting something.-

If December wanted intimidation...well...all he'd have to do was spend five minutes in a room with that little girl when she wasn't as docile as she was being today. Chances were not only would he be intimidated, but it was highly likely the albino would have had a glimpse into the darkest, coldest regions of death and hell. Serkan was one inexplicably frightening creature when she was maleviolent and alone with you. Still, Tyr shook his head to December's words. "No...I've only ever been here once before, and the helion --- Well nevermind what she did. We ended up leaving on terrible terms." The teenager admitted, shooting a glare towards the child who was still staring, unmoving, at the albino. To this day Serkan felt not even the slightest remorse, but it was unlikely she even knew what that word meant. "I don't know why I came here today, either...but here I am, dragging along the twins." 'Twins' was used loosely, naturally.
Serkan felt a craving that was not her own. With some hesitation she drew her attention from the albino, and rested it on the child that was now being lowered to their level, the one who kept staring at her brother. Her eyeless sockets narrowed, unable to determine what it was that had initially caught her attention; there was something wrong with that one. While normally she wouldn't care, or she'd even try to promote the behavior, she was smart enough to notice his attention on Kandajha, and she didn't like that one bit. Harm anyone else, fine...but harm what was essentially herself...well...you suffer the consequences. Though unsure of the cause just yet, she allowed a hoarse, feral warning growl escape her dry and pale lips, the tips of her fanged teeth bared from her sneer.
Andy didn't notice what Serkan had, but he did notice his twin's bubbling anger and growl of warning. He cocked his head to the side, giving her a wide-eyed, curious stare...but then, as usual, he dropped the entire thing and put his attention back on Taiden. The angellic twin clapped his golden hands happily, cheering his joy that his new friend had come down to join him. "What Tai Play?" He inquired, playing with a lock of his blonde hair that had fallen into his round face.

-December had settled soley on the focus of the adult. The children, he supposed, would be much more occupied with one another. He had no need to focus on them... Unless something foul appeared. He began to rethink, splitting his focus to divide it between both Tyr and the group of young ones. He had to watch Taiden, be wary. The boy was easily harmed, and he was just as easily angered or made cruel.
The comment on terrible terms had brought back the cookie incident! Ah, the cookies. A thing that would live on in his mind until something happened to make him forget it. He forced the thought a distance away, returning to the minor conversation that had developed with the stranger.- "They're twins?" -He asked, as if not expecting it to be true. The two appeared nothing alike, thus the word 'twins' seemed completly unfitting. In his eyes twins looked alike...-
-Taiden had fixed Serkan with a foul glare the moment he'd heard her growl towards him. The glare had not lasted long, for he had better things to focus on... Softer things, finer things.
A feeling had settled within Taiden's stomach as he sat himself straight. Those dark green optics were once again set on Andy so Taiden could scrutinize him. Lovely. Perfectly lovely! A smile, half hearted, had emerged on the boy's face. He set his hands on the floor; lifted his head high.- "Guess... The sound." -He chimed enthusiastically, recalling his game with Dante.-
