"Shouldn't you like...play in the sandbox or something?" The cat-eared female looked very, very annoyed by this point. It was clearly showing in her light brown eyes...or what you could see of them with that silver hair in her face, anyway.
Why had she agreed to do this? This kid wasn't even hers!
The two settled on a park bench, Ryuki watching Bella, and Bella watching...herself. Through her mirror, of course. At the mention of 'sandbox', she screeched loudly. SAND? And get her hair messy?! I think not!
Turning her full attention back to her reflection, she babbled in delight and pushed her hair to one side, clapping her hands together.

"Well, this is a nice change..." Watching everything that moved and what didn't, Mya yawned, soaking in the nice fresh air. Not that there wasn't a lot of fresh air around her house, but here was untainted by the frosty, hateful atmosphere that surrounded her once peaceful household. People jogging, talking happily or just seating on a bench not too far away and babysitting a small child, apparently against her will from what Mya could reckon from the girl's face. And, by her side, sat the child mentioned before, winged, looking at what seemed like a mirror? How strange was that? Mya was actually narrating this with similar words to Dante, a habbit she had acquired from educating Ryusen. It also helped her pass time, really, and was a fun thing to do.
At least the infant found it interesting. Mya's words were her eyes, explainning what she just saw as rough shapes and the like. Seating on her shoulders, Dante was enjoying the walk's chronicles, finding that other winged girl interesting. Of her age probably and such, maybe they could meet...

-The trip had been a fine idea to December at the start of the day. He'd promised himself to take Taiden out for a little bit of fun. The man had had so many activities planned, so many ideas for things he could do to try and make this child happy. Taiden, however, was not cooperating. The infant was as cold and distant as the day before when the two of them had encountered the two strangers at that building. December's plans crumbled under those tiny dark green eyes that displayed so much disatisfcation and, in the end, the albino chose one last activity to try. He had high hopes for this activity, as it was not one which required a person to be very social. That activity? It had been the park. December had decided that they would be going to the park.. He'd sit down and allow Taiden to sit in the sand or on the grass and just do whatever he wanted to do. That was his plan now. To sit. To let him do what he wanted to do, that way the child would be happy and December would no longer be frustrated.-
-Taiden was displeased with the area the moment he saw it. The playground equipment did not fill his heart with excitment, nor did the bystanders wandering to-and-fro. Nothing about this place was good, magical... Nothing about it was entertaining. Nothing. His green eyes traveled to the left and right, but still he saw no item or person that intrested him. Quickly, he turned his head away from everything, burying his tiny face into December's sweatshirt. His thin fingers gripped the fabric tightly until he felt the older male coming to a halt. Once movement stopped, his grip was loosened...-

"I can't believe someone could be so vain at such an age!" It just became more and more annoying. It wasn't any of her concern how this baby spent her time (which was basically infront of a mirror), but she was the one who had to carry it. "Just put the stupid thing down. We can get another."
Glaring over her shoulder, Bella screeched again, this time loud enough for all in the general area to hear. When Ryuki glared back at her, the baby smirked in satisfaction, seeming to think she'd won, and went back to caring for the treasure that was her hair.

The screech pounded on both girls' accurate hearing, Mya moaning curses on her mother language while Dante clamped her hands around her ears. Noise noise noise! She hated it when it was so... screeched. Mya, however, couldn't help but be curious about the source of the loudness. Maybe she could have hurt herself or something...
"Everything alright?" Mya kindly asked Ryuki, putting on a smile that did a great job at hiding her previous annoyance. She's never get used to loud babies...

"Oh, yes, just fine," assured the cat demon, eyeing the rocks along the bench curiously. Maybe she could find one big enough to tie to her mirror and toss it in the river. True, Bella might choose not to let go, but that wasn''t her problem now was it?
Maybe there was a lesser route she could take, such as faking a kidnapping or just...putting the little brat up for adoption.
"Aabaaa!" Bella babbled, glancing carelessly up at the newcomer. There was another baby, hm? Not very interesting...yet.

-The screech had caught his attention instantly, having been somewhat close to where Ryuki and Bella were. His ear drums seemed to shatter into a thousand little shards and his head began to throb. That shriek had been so loud.. So very loud..
Those pink-red eyes of his fluttered once he'd spotted the girls. He did not look at them both for long. His eyes had gone to the girl, gazing at her in confusion. Had she been the one to scream? He shook his head, pushing himself foward. The question to scamper out of his mouth was the same as Mya's...- "Is everything okay over here?" -His eyebrows rose up, a puzzled expression gluing itself to his face.-
-Taiden had not budged. His face remained buried in December's shirt and his fingers remained curled around the fabric, holding it in a loose yet firm grip. Though he did not move he was far from silent. He grumbled some sounds that meant something to him and him alone most likely and had emitted a yawn once he was through forming meaningless words..-

Mya giggled lightly as December asked the same thing as her. "Does she need company? Dante here could use someone to play with, and since they're the same age..." she asked. It also was the perfect excuse for her to seat down and rest her feet. She hadn't just walked through the park, she had crossed the entire town on foot with Dante on her back from home! But that she didn't have to tell...

"Eh? Oh, sure." First impressions of Ryuki weren't usually good ones. The reality, though, was she was generally a very polite person (uh, demon-type-thing) as long as you were female. Her hate for males would just be one of the countless reasons her and Bella would be at each other throats later on more than they were now. "Here, sit down."
Snatching the baby (and her mirror, of course) off the chunk of wood, she sat her down on the ground and hissed in warning before her screeching could even begin. With such a hiss, she'd managed to get the point across. That hiss was merely a substitute for: Screech again, I take your head off, got it?
Low tolerance or no tolerance. Right now it was the latter.
"Play with the good babies, you little brat."

-December's eyes fluttered once again, gaze resting upon Mya once he noticed she had been giggling. He did not stare at her long, afraid that it was rude and that she might be offended by his gawking at her with such a puzzled look on his face. Instead of solely staring at her, he looked at them all. Girls... A rosy red tint began to cross his face as he relized he'd approched a group of only women. Normally, this would not bother him.. But for some reason it made him feel awkward today..-
-Taiden stirred, lifting his head up. Those eyes of his were half-lidded, but still held that hateful glare. They fell upon Ryuki and then Mya and finally.. He looked towards Bella and then Dante. His eyebrows twitched, furrowing together. Something felt familiar about the situation. It was somewhat like yesterday., minus the cookies..- "Olffei.." -He murmured, turning back to the adult who held him, or rather who -he- held.-
-December had looked at the two little ones, smiling slightly. They looked... Nice.. He was about to ask something when he felt Taiden squirming.-
-Taiden was struck with curiosity at the sight of these two. Unlike the girl yesterday, there was something to them that made him... Wonder. Especially the one with the blue hair and blind fold. He could not help but wonder why her eyes were covered..-

Okaaay... Mya thought, not quite understanding Ryuki's reactions. Well, at least she had saved them from another ear splitting screech. Seating by the demon's side, she took Dante from her shoulders, carefully adjusting the bandage that was still on the infant's right hand, and set her down gently beside Bella. "There's a seat for you too!" Mya told December, waving to the free space on the bench.
Dante looked at the ground, instead of Bella. All of the new, constantly moving surroundings were flooding her perceptions, so she was finding it rather hard to focus on a smaller area, her mind drifting to whatever was constantly happening around. She wouldn't react unless provoked, so puzzled she was with everything.

-The man hesitated. When he'd made up his mind, he smiled a crooked smile and sat down on the bench.- "Lovely day out, isn't it?" -He asked, giving the two women a glance. Carefully, he lifted that raven colored mechanic arm and moved Taiden away from his shirt. He then set the child on the ground, murmuring the words 'play nice' to him before sitting back against the bench.-
-Taiden sat where he had been set down. He didn't budge nor make any attempt to draw attention towards himself. The boy just wanted to sit and watch these strangers. He wanted nothing more.. Nothing more than to watch.-

''It''d be nicer if you''d go away,'' Ryuki thought bitterly. She didn''t dare say it, though. Last thing this little brat needed was another bad example. Of course, as always, Bella was much too focused on herself to concern herself with anything else for the time being.
When said ''time being'' took a pause, the self-obsorbed baby glanced upward and around at each of the newcomers. When her ruby-colored eyes focused on the one who''s were covered, she made a disgusted face.
She couldn''t see her? How horrible! Everyone should be able to see such a wonderful person as Bella! Obviously displeased, the baby babbled in an annoyed sort of way, then looked toward the male of the three youngsters. "Abbaaa."

"Yeah, it's nice to come out for a walk with kids. Pity Summer's almost over, I won't have the time to take her to the beach... I'm Mya, by the way." She had just realized they hadn't introduced themselves, which felt kind of awkward for some reason.
Sound. Nearby sound. It made Dante snap out of her confusion and helped her narrow down her thoughts into the bench, the three people and the other two babies. Speaking of babies, she had to know what they looked like. Even despite the girl's annoyance, Dante had to see for herself. More like touch. Like always, without a single squeak, she started touching Bella's face and hair with her bandaged hand, dead serious. The other one would be for later.

"Ryuki," the older of the two females offered pleasently. Her manners were alright. MUCH better than Bella's, at the very least. Normally, she would've perhaps smiled, but in the prescene of such an obnoxious infant she could do so and mean it.
And, Ryuki never did or said anything she didn't really mean.
The contact made Bella shierk, and wiggled away from the other as if she'd somehow been burned. How dare that...that thing touch her! Her bitter mind couldn't comprehend thoughts quite that complex, but they were similar. "No!"
