((Side note: Imbri has her own son through another shop (that's closed down now =( ) and in the journal, he's shown as an adult, but for now I'm gonna play him as a baby, since I never got a chance before the shop closed.))
Imbri sat on a park bench in Barton town, bouncing Nyoka on her knee. His little snake tail wrapped around her leg, helping him balance on her knee. He made garbled noises and she ruffled his hair, taking care not to hit his tiny horns on the top of his head. She cooed at him a little, but mostly sat staring at the tree in front of her. Selona was at an appointment for a routine checkup and Imbri had left the office when her son started getting funny. She figured she'd get back to the office soon, hopefully before Selona got out of the exam room and discovered she had disappeared.
"The crazy cat lady wouldn't like that very much, would she?" Imbri said to Nyoka, in a baby voice.
He replied by making a gargling noise and drooling a little on the teething toy he held.

A tingle of a near by door singled the door closing from a local cafe (that looked anything by ordinary by outside appearance). Ceres was being led by Sky since she only had his eyes. Natalia was being lead by Ceres since she couldn't see at all.
"I'm really full- could we please have a sit." Ceres sighed wishing she could rub her full stomach to prove a point. "Our son cooks 'so' good." She added with a grin.
((I understand about shops closing... All of mine except for Natalia come from shops that have closed but I still play them all. : D))

Imbri wiggled her finger in front of her son and watched the strange procession of people come out of the shop near where she was sitting.
Nyoka grabbed her finger with his tiny hands and pulled it to his mouth and bit down with his sharp little fangs.
"Ouch!" Imbri cried out loudly, phasing her finger through his hands to pull it away.
Of course, this caused him to start wailing. "Ohhh, no, no, no, don't do that." she said, trying to bounce him up and down to calm him.

Sky first, then Ceres turned their heads to the sound of the crying child. Ceres headed towards them with a chuckle. She reached inside her bag of 'tricks'.
"Here," Ceres said with a calm almost distant voice as she held out a shiny, noisy toy she hoped would help the woman distract the child.

"Oh, no, that's really alr-" Imbri started, but Nyoka's shout of happiness drowned out her refusal of the toy.
"Ayyeeaaa!" he said, dropping his boring teething toy (which was almost useless anyway, as his sharp teeth easily punctured every new one Imbri bought and the liquid had long since drained out) He held his little hands out for the noisy toy.
Imbri sighed and tried to readjust him on her knee, only to fail, as his snake tail tightened around her leg. At least he wasn't crying now.

Ceres chuckled as she handed the child the toy. "After raising eight you learn to carry around a bit of everything and then some."
"Name's Ceres," Ceres took a moment to extend her hand after Sky focused on Imbri. "And, this is my companion, Sky..." she motioned to the blue haired male whose eyes kept flickering around though Ceres' never moved in any direction.
Natalia clapped her hands and giggled. Not a clue to who or anything other than her parents but she was excited to meet someone knew. "I'm Natalia!" She said before Ceres could introduce her.
"Our daughter," the two mumbled, but it was quickly followed by a low chuckle.

Nights spent awake keeping Selona company had made Imbri far beyond exausted, and rather than getting offended at the woman implying she knew more about raising children than Imbri did, she just ignored the comment.
She lowered her head and started to dip her shoulders in a sort of sitting curtsy, before she realized that the other woman hand stuck out her hand.
"Oh." How she hated modern sensibilities. She reached her hand forward and grasped Ceres' briefly. "My name is Imbri," she replied and indicated to the naga holding onto her leg. "And this is my son, Nyoka. It's...um, nice to meet you," she finished.
Nyoka grasped the toy awkwardly in his hand and shook it around. When Natalia spoke up, he lowered his hands and looked at her curiously. He had never seen someone close to his size before! Everyone he knew was Imbri-sized. "Dat! Dat!" he said, trying to repeat her name.

Natalia stopped her noise and her 'dance' at the mention of another child. Her interest and curiosity was spiked. "I want to see! I want to see!" She chanted as she stretched out her arms and patted the air.
"May she?" Ceres asked as she took Natalia's hands in hopes of calming her down just a tad... The last thing she needed was for the other child to get skittish from her being hyper.
Sky shook his head inconspicuously as he chuckled. His eyes still constantly scanning the area since his eyes were Ceres only eyes at the moment.

Imbri wasn't sure why Ceres was asking if the little girl could see her son, and the confusion reflected a little on her face. Wasn't he sitting right in front of her?
She set Nyoka on the ground, and a little unsteadly, he slithered over to Natalia. He was already quite big, even though he wasn't that old yet. Imbri had always wondered if it came from the naga DNA or just the fact that dna had been spliced in while she was pregnant with him that made him larger than a child should be.
"Dat-a!" he said again, getting another sylleble this time and clapping his hands together.

Ceres gave half a smile at the silence and wondered if she had not been clear enough. "Natalia is blind," she finally said. "I don't let her put her hands on others without their permission... And, that is the way she see's."
Natalia was patient enough as she waited to 'see' the boy. She clapped her hands when she heard the little boy do it. She grinned and laughed as if happiness was contagious.

"Oh, I see..." Imbri said. She nodded slightly, agreeing. She supposed that was alright. After all, after raising her other children she was pretty used to little fingers grabbing hold of her.
She wondered, though, if either's powers would mess with the others. Apparently it wwas just a risk she'd have to take.
Nyoka slithered over to Imbri. "Ball?" he asked. The one word he knew quite well. Imbri sighed and rolled her eyes, and pulled it out of the bag she had beside her and handed it off to her son, and streched out her arm for Natalia to 'see'.

Ceres took her daughters hand and put it in Imbri's. She figured seeing the mother first would be best. "Natalia- this is Imbri." Her voice was even but warm.
Natalia took a moment to count the ladies fingers- not that she expected to find one missing. "Your skin doesn't feel like he sounds," she said having heard the boy slither just moments ago.

Imbri was confused about what she meant for a moment, until she realized that snake skin would make a funny noise when he moved (Imbri, not having to rely on sound as much as she imagined Natalia did, never noticed how her son really sounded when he moved).
"Oh, I guess he would. He's part snake."
She could have explained. But Imbri thought it might be a little more complicated than Natalia would understand.

"My sisters part horse," Natalia said matter-of-factly as her hands wondered up to the ladies shoulders and then her face. She was slow and extremely gentle as she mapped out the person before her. "You don't feel old..." She said bluntly but she wasn't trying to intentionally sound 'harsh'... It was more an observation.
"Natalia!" Ceres exclaimed trying her best not to laugh. Kids could really say some of the darnedest things.

Imbri wondered if Natalia's part horse sister was related to her by blood like Nyoka was to herself, but didn't ask. She had plenty of adoptive children who didn't look anything like her, but Nyoka was actually her son.
She smiled just slightly at Natalia.
"I'm far older than you'd suspect," she said.
