Name : Andraste CaerbHall
Age : 25
Race : Human
Living at : Durem City, in a three room flat
Occupation : Bodyguard for celebrities and politicians, sometimes involved in mysterious projects
Marital Status : Single ( and happy )
Eye Colour : Blue with red spots at the bottom
Hair Colour : Black with red streaks
Clothing Style : Andraste usually dresses very formal and likes to wear black suits. That's mostly because of her job. At home she likes to dress casually and prefers shirts and jeans. If necessary she's also able to dress up , but only because high-heels hurt a lot when you kick someone
General appearance : Her body is quite trained and athletic, because she needs to stay in shape for her work. She's slim, but doesn't lack of female curves, although she often hides them below their style of clothes. Let's say, she can be sexy, but she doesn't want to. She's got some bruises and scars all over her body, but they don't disturb her prettyness too much. ( Not that she would care.. )
Hobbies : A mix between her job and relaxing at home
Likes : Cleaning her gun, using her gun, beeing at work, taking a shower, rain
Dislikes : Too much sunshine, boredom, hyper people who you're not allowed to shoot
Personality :Andraste has a VERY short temper indeed. If you meet her privately and say something against her opinion be aware of a woman who'll hunt you down. She'll stay with her opinion as long as she decided to change it on her own...of course not because of a good advise. No, never. She loves her job and takes her duties very seriously. So if you really have a problem you can count on her. When being at home she usually prefers not to be bothered, although she doesn't mind company. Although she's not the most caring and lovely person in the world, Andraste is able to be emotional and friendly if you catch her in the right moment. She's still bothered by her past somehow and decided to love her job instead of anyone else.
Short History : Andraste grew up in the slums of Durem City. She lived with her mother who worked in the red-light district. That's also a reason why Andra doesn't know who her biological father it. Her mother was friendly and caring, but you can imagine that the experiences weren't the best for a young girl. The relationships between men and women were simply crazy for her and so she doesn't know much about a deep rooted love. She simply avoids such emotions. She went to a regular school and got good grades, because she wanted to get out of her former life. Because of her temper and her good self-defense skills she was perfect for the job of a body guard. Andra was 'discovered' as she was beating up a member of a street gang who tried to rape her. Since then she's very dedicated to her job and never thought about serious relationships. Until...

~~~ Fourth WallersAiniThe little Fennec Fox seems to be the only one he could consider a 'friend' right now. They played when they were both babies and enjoyed licking each others fur and babbling a bit. They met again on a snowy day as toddlers and had a lot of fun. BlakeJacosa met Blake throughout his first visit at the Fourth Wall center. Although he didn't understand the boy's fury he was very curious about him. Sadly he didn't seem to be interested in playing, but was just angry. JadeJacosa thinks Jade is the most intelligent person ever, because she's better at reading right now. He's unusually calm around her and likes to listen to her voice and her wisdom. TaylorThe otter doesn't really know what to think about the little horse girl. He knows she's able to wail very loudly, but she hasn't talked to him yet. MakanaJacosa once saw her as a baby, but didn't pay attention to her. Sadly he had to leave when she returned as a toddler. So he doesn't really know her. KaeruHe's very impressed of Kaeru, because he's able to fly. Jacosa desperately wishes to be able to do that as well. Otherwise he thinks he's fun, because he does special dances. BelenJacosa met Belen when the little one was just born. He first thought the axolotl was a fish, but after a while he deemed him very interesting. The other one wasn't able to talk yet, but after all he was nice. AkilahAkilah is some kind of little brother for Jacosa. He likes to pet him and take care of him, although he's still much smaller than the otter. Cosa likes this little one best and definately wants to play with him when he's grown. RonenAlthough he was bothered by Ronen's spikes at first, Jacosa is fond of the dinosaur's company. He seemed calm and quite nice, so the otter didn't have anything to complain about. VasileVasile appeared to be a nice person and he also liked to colour with Jacosa's crayons. The otter didn't care about him playing with a doll and would probably like to meet this one again. VastelleShe's pretty, but Jacosa is quite suspicious of her now, because she left teeth markings on his purple crayon. DodgeJacosa only saw this one very briefly after he had arrived and so doesn't really have an opinion on the boy. ~~~ OthersTourmalineWhen Andraste had an appointment with the GMFC, Jacosa was able to play with the colorful girl. He adored her style of clothes and was fond of her reading to him. The otter would like to consider her as friend.

A shocking surprise
Sometimes you wish that a day passes by as quickly as possible, sometimes you wish a day would last forever and sometimes...you wish you could run away from your life, hide somewhere and never never never see the sunlight or anything else that's slightly moving again. That's how Andraste felt as a cute otter baby stared at her with his big heart warming eyes. People were staring at her as she made her way through the streets of Durem City towards her appartment. 'Oh how cute'...'What a pretty baby''..ARGH ! The young woman snorted as she finally reached the house she was living in and looked at the new 'possession' of hers. The otter was wiggling slightly, smiling at her and trying to reach her with one of his furry hands. So how had this happened to her ? Andraste asked herself another time as she went up the stairs to finally reach her apartment's door and tried to find the keys inside her trousers' pocket. She had gotten this paper from her colleague Ranjit this morning. Of course, it was the freaking blue waterman's fault ! The woman growled as she entered her home and glanced at the otter who stopped his movements for a moment and just blinked several times before starting to chew on his pendant. 'Take a look at the place. It would suit you well and help you a bit.' Andraste should have been warned. Why did she even go there ? She could still hit herself for visiting this 'Fourth Wall'-business. Everything went so fast somehow, she talked to this person called Karma as suddenly an otter baby came out of a dimensional rift ? Absurd...totally absurd. But the baby was there, wasn't it ? Andraste sighed as she sat down on a kitchen chair very eager to make herself a coffee and forget about the baby. But the otter didn't think about beeing forgotten and squealed as he was put down on the table. He even kicked at the blanket with his feet and the big friendly eyes got watery. "Uh...don't cry, alright ? You don't want me to get a nervous breakdown." Andraste commented as she looked at the baby again. The small black nose sniffed as the otter looked at her curiously. It almost seemed like he was thinking about the matter before he extended his hands again trying to grab her somehow. "You need a name, you know ? Otherwise I won't be able to yell at you or something...not that I would keep you anyway...just for the few days." The woman commented as she examined the baby and noticed that he was missing one of his front teeth. "How did you do that ? Trouble maker, heh ?" A quick smile crossed her lips before she lifted the baby up and went towards the coffee machine. "If you get on my nerves, Jacosa...if you ever spill my coffee or something..." Her tone was pretty harsh as the newly named otter managed to grab a strand of her hair, but she turned to a more gently voice for a moment. "Just don't do it, alright ?"

Soap Opera
"Soaps are no food !" Andraste growled for the third time today as a splash of water hit her face and a squeal escaped from Jacosa's mouth.
This otter was driving her crazy. Noticing that he enjoyed water and that he was stinking like a drunken old man she had put him into her bathtub. First he had been an awesome baby who simply sat in the warm water and blinked at his caretaker in anticipation. Andraste had washed his back and his belly and he hadn't reacted at all...until...
It's unnecessary to say that the young woman had been very pleased with the outcome and even smiled slightly at the otter baby. Which must have doomed her somehow. As the water level went up to Jacosa's chest he had discovered that beeing active was allowed. At least Andraste hadn't yelled at him yet like she had done a few times before.
His small hands had reached for the little smelly thing which smelled awfully delicious. Oh how curious he had been to taste it ! So Jacosa grabbed the soap and lay down on his back, slowly floating on the water. "No. That's not for you." Andraste had tried to explain him and her eyebrows were close to kiss each other as she frowned hardly. But the otter didn't care at all and just moved his tail slowly as his tooth sank into the soap. Sadly he didn't have enough time to really taste it because Andraste was always quick enough to pull it away before it could reach his mouth. How sad...perhaps he would have noticed that it wasn't so great anyway. But because she wanted to have it, it just HAD to be awesome.
Jacosa started to wiggle around and splashed with his tail making happy otter noises, whereas Andraste was close to throw him out of the window. He killed her suit ! It was wet now...she was wet now...THE WHOLE BATHROOM was wet now...
"Yoouu..." The woman growled as she tried to catch the otter who was entirely sure that this was the best game ever and dived through the water. Although he wasn't able to crawl, talk or even walk, Jacosa was a perfect swimmer. Somehow Andraste didn't admire this at all but was just very busy with trying to catch the little one without putting him into a net or hurting him in any way. And still there was the seducive soap...
Jacosa himself moved closer to an edge of the bathtub and seemed to cheer as he finally managed to grab the soap and bit a big chunk out of it...AWFUL ! Not wanting to see this thing ever again he threw the bar out of the tub onto the bathroom floor.
"Got ya !" The mother announced as she made a step towards the baby and was close to pull him out of the water as her feet got wobbly. "What the... ?" Just before Andraste was able to swear she slipped into the bathtub as she had stepped on the soap.
The neighbours are still debating about the horrifying scream, you can imagine.
Jacosa instead just pushed his black nose against the human one and blinked as innocent as always. His tail was wiggling slightly and a cheerful smile crossed the baby's lips. How wonderful, finally he wasn't alone inside the big white thing anymore. Who couldn't love it ?

People's problems
I went to work today. You know, I usually go to work everyday. But this time it was different.
First of all I had to get up earlier, because I drove to a nursery. You know that places where people give their babies to and where are nice women with nice smiles which want all of your nice money. Huh...
Anyway, I made sure that this nursery is worth my money. They took good care of the otter, I really have to admit. Not that it would bother me, of course not.
I went to work afterwards and this was the first time I wasn't the first one in office. There wasn't anything bad until Ranjit, my strange ******** blue waterman colleague decided to visit me. First he interrupted an important phonecall and then he gave me a strange package. Do you know what was inside ? Take a guess...
Baby stuff ! Rattles and diapers and...argh, I don't even want to think about it. Why is he interested ? Can you tell me ? Probably not.
Nobody could, because this man is totally brain damaged. I have to admit he's good-looking, but so damn dead inside his head...
Everybody laughed about the plaster on my neck. It looked pretty stupid, but it was better than showing of a huge bruise, almost looking like a hickey. How should I have explained that it was because I slipped into the bathtub as Jacosa wanted to eat the soap ? See, what a dilemma.
Jacosa instead was happy to see me. He's lying on a blanket now, playing around with Ranjit's toys. Sure he's still to small, but he tries to chew some soft balls and so on. Sometimes he squeals and makes happy gurgling noises, but when I leave the room he starts to cry.
I hope this will change in future. Perhaps it would be a good idea to go to this Fourth Wall business and ask other people about experiences. I could really need some ******** help...

Making Experiences Sayuri_Nitta Sayuri wandered inside the building, taking a seat in the sitting area and uncovered the wriggling fur bundle that was making squeaking noises from inside her coat. Two large ears flicked and Aini blinked under the lights, looking around her. 'Ok we are here now, you can stop trying to excavate my ribs.' JadeEye Probably not to long after, Jade swiftly made her entrance, her face squinched in an expression of pain. In her arms was her little white tiger bundle of "joy" whom currently had his maw around her wrist, his sharp milk teeth embedded firmly in her flesh. Dribbles of blood traced down her arm before smearing thickly on her black leather jacket. Some of the blood looked relatively dry, so one might believe this issue had been an ongoing one...not something very recent. "Blake...PLEASE..." she begged in a breathy tone, trying not to grow hysterical. "You're hurting mommy." The feline gave a snarly hiss around the flesh and bone in his mouth and flattened his ears, hardly relaxing his bite. Lenachan358 Just at the door was opened you could hear babbling noises and a sigh. Andraste was trying to keep Jacosa within her arms as he wiggled like mad. He had been here before ! Perhaps he could get back to his furry parents ? The big dark eyes blinked several times and he had started to suck his fish pendant because of excitement. Andraste held him tightly as she wandered towards the strangers and tried to make herself smile...at least a bit. "Hello...so I see you got one of them too ?" Jacosa stared at the twitching ears and tried to reach for the girl. "Oh...and yours is as active as mine." Looking at Blake she grinned slightly and pointed at the otter baby whose tail was hitting her hardly as he tried to get towards the others. Sayuri_Nitta Sayuri nodded; 'Yes, this is Aini, she is a fennec fox. I'm Sayuri..' she trailed off, her eyes widening at the sight of Jade being pretty much savaged by the babe in her arms. 'Tap him on the nose or something,' she advised. Young predators teeth were often sharp and needle-like and so very painful to be bitten with. JadeEye "I didn't want to hurt him," she mumbled between gritted teeth. "Besides, I did try that already and all it did was piss him off more." Jade attempted to shift Blake and tickle his belly, trying to see if that might help. She was running out of ideas at this point. The white tiger baby growled again and lashed his tail hard, trying to get Jade to knock off her prodding. Fortunately his tail lacked enough strength to make her arm sting as it struck. Still, Jade got the point and stopped messing with him, resigning herself to having a baby-sized leech on her wrist until he decided he was going to let go. Lenachan358 "I see. This is Jacosa and he's...well, an otter. I'm glad he doesn't bite, but he's lacking a front tooth anyway." The young woman shrugged as she sat down. Jacosa instead couldn't have been happier. Interesting people ! And something that growled and made noises. Quickly he answered with babbling, squealing and stretching out his hands towards the striped one. He made a fist and opened it again. But quickly he got bored and turned to the white fluffy one. Repeating his noises he made the same movements and waited for a reaction. "So...I'm pretty new to this. Let's say...I didn't even want a baby. Is there anything...special I have to know ?" Being a bit embarrassed Andraste scratched her head. Sayuri_Nitta 'What more then he is hurting you? A quick little bit of pain will teach him that its not nice to bite like that. Aini chews on me sometimes and I either flick her nose or blow a whistle near her.' She shifted Aini, who was peering at the otter baby. 'Or distract him with food. That works as well. But you cant let him get away with that behaviour.' 'Well I did alot of research when I got Aini. That helped me, especially decoding her habits and stuff.' she smiled at Andraste. JadeEye Jade's expression soured some. "I know he's not supposed to get away with it, but I already have one son that hates my guts...I'd prefer to not get on the wrong foot with this one already," she said somewhat hotly, her cheeks flushing in indignation. Mmmph... Thankfully, she didn't have to resort to flicking his nose again. The baby finally let go, having heard finally some strange noises from nearby that sounded more like noises he would make. He licked his blood-stained fangs, then grimaced and yowled irritably. Seemed that blood wasn't quite his taste...at least, right now. He glared at Jascosa and flared his nostrils. Jade winced as the teeth were extracted, then exhaled noisily once she realized she had been holding her breath. The little vampire-like fang marks on her wrist glimmered with more blood, but it didn't seem to be flowing quite like it had been upon the initial contact. Sayuri_Nitta 'Well I am sorry. I was just ...trying to help.' Aini looked from the otter babe to the striped one, and sniffed the air. What was that smell? It was coppery and something inside kind of switched on. She whined, wriggling even more. Lenachan358 "Sounds like a pretty good idea...research...research..." Andraste mumbled as she wondered why Jacosa didn't feel offended by Blake's glare. He just looked as happy as usual and still extended his hands. The fish pendant was shaking slightly, but the otter didn't seem to care. Still there was something new, something that needed to be discovered. The woman's eyes fell on the wound and she snorted. "Phew...looks bad." Getting up a little she pulled two or three plasters out of her trousers' pocket and handed one to Jade. With a sigh she pointed at her neck. "Look, I tried to give him a bath and my very dear otter by tried to eat the soap...but he didn't like it and threw it out of the bathtub and I slipped on it...well..." Another plaster was decorating a large bruise on her skin there. "He's always excited about everything. I tell you that isn't so nice either." JadeEye "Bleh...I rather inflict the wounds on myself then having his charming little teeth do the work for me," she said, again shifting Blake so she could stick the bandages on her battlescars. "And at least yours is excited to go places. You'd think I was taking Blake to be shaved naked or something with the amount of trouble he puts up everytime I try to get him somewhere...." The tiger baby continued to glare at Jacosa, but once in awhile his eyes flitted to the shiny on the dark one's chest. That was one thing he liked...shinies. Lenachan358 Andraste nodded and was for the first time happy to have Jacosa. At least he hadn't bitten her yet and she doubted that he would ever dare to do so. "Do you have many children ?" She asked curiously wondering if she had a baby veteran in front of her. "I so had problems to find the right diapers...I mean...I didn't even know that diapers with wholes for babies with a tail existed. It's truly amazing what you can find in Gaia's stores if you just look long enough." As the stripey one didn't seem to react Jacosa started to sniff. What a strange smell ? Why did the white one cry ? Seeming startled for a moment he decided to suck on his fish pendant again, which calmed him down a bit. JadeEye "Many children?" Jade tried not to laugh. "Many and well varied would be the best way to put it..." Between Ava, Yanisin, Blake, and her other assortment of pets that were more like children then she cared to admit, she had a VERY full household. At the mention of diapers with tailholes, she snorted. "Probably because the population demanded it...I remember when I went into a store that didn't have them and my eldest son Yanisin was out of 'em....well, let's just say they have them now." Blake sniffed the air, catching the other baby's strange scent. And what was it doing to the shiny?! Nooo...it was dirtying it! The tiger cub growled and swatted the air clumsily, trying to tell the stranger that shinies were not to be tainted in such a manner. Lenachan358 Andraste listened carefully and grinned as she heard about the store. "So you seem pretty experienced. I never thought about children. My...'colleague'.." The woman stressed the word in a very annoyed way. "...Well, he gave me the address and before I knew I ended up with Jacosa. I'm not a very maternal woman. I hope Jacosa doesn't get damaged or so...although I doubt it, because he already is very strange and happy about everything." The otter tried to wiggle out of Andraste's arms as she shoved him back onto her lap. The other one wanted something, he knew it ! But what...what did he want ? Following his looks he looked at the fish. Was he interested in the tasty thing ? It tasted a bit like salt and like home. Yes, Jacosa was sure home tasted like this. His hands tried to show the fishie to blake, but it was quite heavy to hold it up for a long time. JadeEye "I've never had a kid quite like him...sure, my daughter Ava is a spitfire. At least she has moment where she can be sweet and loveable. Blake? Oooooh no. I have not ONCE seen him look angelic or sweet. Even when he sleeps, he snarls." Jade peered at the bundle in Andraste's arms finally and relaxed, realizing what Jacosa was exactly. She always did like otters. It was at this time that Blake attempted to lunge from Jade's arms to get at the fish pendant in the other baby's hands. He wanted it...and he wanted it NOW. Luckily, Jade had grown some remarkably wonderful reaction skills due to raising what was now her third child and saved him from toppling to the floor. Lenachan358 "Perhaps he's ill or something ? There has to be a reason for his grumpiness...right ?" Andraste suggested as she petted the otter baby's head and kept him from showing around the fish pendant. "Shh...don't make him nervous. Look, Blake doesn't like this." Jacosa listened to the words but no doubt he didn't understand the intention. Or perhaps he just didn't want to be distracted from his mission to touch the striped one. Instead of extending the pendant now he simply started to make noises again and poked his nose against Andraste's arms. JadeEye "I don't think they'd give them to me if he was sick...he came like this. I wonder if there's a return policy..." Blake yowled and struggled against Jade's grasp. Dammit...he wanted that pendant! He glared at Andraste now since she was hiding the shiny from him too. Two against one was NOT fair. Lenachan358 "You mean...we could push them back through this rift ?" Andraste's eyes sparkled a bit as she thought about the option of being independent again, but there was also something very tiny in her heart which made her feel guilty. "If not we could probably meet up more often. It looks like Jacosa is able to distract Blake from your arm..at least for a while." She offered and focused on the otter who was very confused about his new friend's behaviour. Was this a new game ? He had balls at home which were allowed to be chewed. Perhaps the other one thought he was a ball ? Babbling he stared at the rebellious cat and wondered why the other one looked somehow...angry ? There needed something to be done about that. As Andraste didn't pay attention he moved to the end of her legs and was about to reach for the other baby. Sayuri_Nitta Sayuri came back from the bathroom after cleaning up Aini from when she had hacked up bugs. She sat again, trying to fold the squirming fennec onto her lap again. Aini squeaked in protest and tried to get to Blake and Jacosa. JadeEye "Well, even not pushing them back through the rift...just...giving him to Karma and saying "Well that was fun!" and walking out..." Though really, there was no way she'd do it. First off, he was a white tiger and did Jade say no EVER to a white tiger? Secondly...well...he wasn't that bad. Maybe. She then mutely observed the two baby's interaction, growing leery when Jacosa got closer and closer. Blake too didn't appreciate this fully either. Sure, the shiny was getting closer, but so was that other bigger dark person that kept chewing on it. A soft rumble started in his chest, barly audible until it slowly increased in volume as the otter baby got closer and closer. The fur on the top of his head and shoulders started to bristle. Lenachan358 Andraste nodded and waved slightly at Sayuri who had arrived back. "Sounds like an idea, but I doubt she would take them again." She grinned and finally looked at the otter again. "JACOSA !" Not impressed at all and awfully curious the otter glanced at the moving fur and wondered how Blake was able to do this. He wanted to do it too, but somehow he wasn't able to. Why did the other one make different noises now ? Scary noises...For a moment or two the otter seemed to hesitate but was quickly distracted by a squeak. Oh the white one was back ! Sayuri_Nitta Sayuri stood, finally fed up with Aini's wriggling and went over to the other women. 'Well sometimes when Aini wont stop whining I think the same thoughts...but when she is asleep she is very sweet,' she joked. JadeEye "rrrrRRRRRAWR!" snarled Blake suddenly as the otter turned his head. He took the opportunity to lunge forward again, claws extended on both paws, and tried to rake the little one's face and chest. Again, he was thwarted by Jade, who yanked him back and clucked disapprovingly until Blake retaliated, twisted, and attached his claws to Jade's arm like it was some sort of scratching post. He was exceedingly pleased with the loud yelp he produced from his "mother". "I think it's time for home," Jade forced herself to say, trying not to focus on the fact she had a 10lb bag of fur, bones, and flesh hanging from her left arm. Lenachan358 Jacosa's eyes grew wide as he noticed the rage attack of the tiger and saw the sharp claws close to his face. Alright, this was the first time Andraste experienced him to be still. His tail twitched once in a while and fear slowly grew inside his eyes as he was pulled back gently by his foster mother's hands. "I'm sorry." She said as she looked at the bundle of fur wrapped around Jade's arm. It had to hurt... "I hope you can find something which calms him down. If you need help, someone who donates some blood or so..I'm here." She tried to grin. Jacosa instead tried to forget about his fear quickly and babbled like before looking at the white girl. JadeEye Jade nodded stiffly before heading out, forcing herself to not explode in a long string of offensive language. Certainly not a good thing to do in the presence of children... Sayuri_Nitta 'Well...' mumbled Sayuri, watching her go, shocked at the sudden attack. 'She certainly has herself.. a handful there.' she said. Aini had watched the attack with a cocked head, curious as to the scrapping noises. Lenachan358 "Phew..you're very right." Andraste commented and examined the cute looking girl for the first time. A fox. Interesting. "Your one seems pretty decent though. It's not such a trouble-maker, is she ?" Jacosa sniffed as Andraste held him a bit closer to Aini and he quickly poked his nose against hers as a greeting. At least she didn't growl. Sayuri_Nitta Aini blinked, licking at the proffered nose and squeaked a little. 'Not really. She can whine alot, especially at night because she wants to be active then, as her kind are meant to be nocturnal. She nips sometimes, and has a habit of trying to eat worms.' Lenachan358 Jacosa squealed as something wet hit his nose. How funny, it felt like a bath but just for his nose ! Quickly he continued sniffing and suddenly noticed something huge. Alright, not as huge as Andraste but it looked...amazingly fluffy. His hand was clearly reaching for Aini's purple bow. "I'm pretty scared that my little one here is a bit dumb, because he just cries for food. Otherwise he's always very happy. Even if I yell at him. I wonder if he's making fun of me or if otters aren't just able to be sad." She shrugged as she pointed at the baby. "HE...eats fish if no soap is available. That's why he's smelling like this." Sayuri_Nitta 'Eats soap huh?' she giggled at that. Aini twisted about, waving her front paws at Jacosa, her tail flicking around. What was the short-eared creature reaching for? She whined at him. Lenachan358 "He tried to..." Andraste growled still annoyed about the whole bathroom story. Jacosa blinked in confusion for a moment and accidently touched her nose with his furry hand instead of the bow on her head. Well...at least something to look at. It felt a bit wet although he hadn't licked it. That was stunning ! And at once the otter startled to babble and squeal friendly. None of his attempts were able to be understood though. "I hope he stops doing this when he grows. I mean...can you imagine him TALK ?" Sayuri_Nitta Aini sneezed as his hairs tickled her sensitive nose and she went cross-eyed trying to see what was going on. She tilted her head, squeaking in reply to Jacosa's noises...although she wasnt understanding a think he was babbling. 'I dont know that I would want Aini to talk,' Sayuri admitted. 'What if I dont like what she comes out with? I dont know for sure that everything I'm doing is right.' she sighed. 'But I also do want her to talk so she can help me out. Squeaking conveys - nothing at all!' Lenachan358 This was a friendly one this time. A bit white, but nice. Pulling his hand back Jacosa looked at suspiciously and wondered why it was able to make people look with the eyes crossed. And she answered ! Oh joyous feelings, someone understand. Wiggling like a dog's tail the otter leaned forwards and hugged Aini roughly. You couldn't really call it a hug it was more a...way to lean against someone and grab her in a friendly way. Andraste watched the scene with amusement and sighed. "Don't worry, if someone does everything wrong, I will be the one. I have no experience with children of any kind. Esspecially not with...otters who babble. I bet my ears will hurt even more if his sentences will make sense." Sayuri_Nitta Aini stuck her nose in Jacosa's fur and sniffed, then sneezed again. She sniffed along his head then licked his ear experimentivally, mainly to see if he was edible. 'I'm sure everyone is having their own problems. I know you arent alone there.' Lenachan358 Jacosa squealed as he was licked again. That was so fun ! His small ear twitched slightly because of the tickling treatment. Andraste smiled very slightly as she checked her watch. "Oh dear, I should be at home in about ten minutes. I need to watch the phone tonight." She sighed as she had to pull the otter away from the fennec fox. And this was the first time Jacosa really started to wail. "Nooo..." The young woman rolled her eyes and shrugged helplessly. "You can see her again, soon, probably...I mean...they can, right ?" Sayuri_Nitta Sayuri chuckled softly when the otter babe cried as they were prised apart. Aini just tilted her head, wondering why the fuzzy lump was making a weird noise again. 'Yes, definately. I'm sure we will see each other here, or we can arrange a home visit at some point?' Lenachan358 "Erm..." Andraste thought of her flat for a moment, quite well imagining the piles of dirty laundry on the floor... "Sure. Just give me a call, I guess we can make up something." A sniffling otter wiggled in her arms as she tried to pull out a small card stating her telephone number and address out of her pockets and handed it to Sayuri. She would meet up with anyone to get this little otter quiet for some time. Jacosa was reaching out for Aini for a while and as he noticed that he didn't stand a chance he disappointedly started to suck the fish again. "Well, it was...nice. See you soon then." Andraste said as she headed home quickly. Sayuri_Nitta 'It was nice to meet you as well,' she said, tucking the card into the back pocket of her jeans and she curled Aini back under her jacket as she needed to leave also. Aini whined a little, then fell silent as Sayuri began walking and left.

Ottery Ways
Did you know that otters are supposed to be experts in opening shellfish ? No ?
Well I did some research on otters and I really believe this statement because Jacosa managed to kill one of the soft fluffy balls he owned.
I just went into the kitchen for a few minutes and one rip later the whole ball was destroyed and Jacosa squealed in delight. He still hasn't stopped babbling like he fears that I wouldn't pay any attention to him or that he would starve otherwise.
Although I really have to admit that I'm quite pleased that I just got the otter. When I remember what this Blake tiger kid did to the other woman...well, let's just say it's better to have an active but happy otter.
The only problem is that my living room smells like a fish bazar now. I called a delivery service and now I get fresh portions of fish every day. Wasn't that nice of me ? I think it was, not to mention that I don't have to run to the next shop every morning when Jacosa awakes and makes me think that he'll die within minutes when I don't feed him.
I noticed something astonishing though. He's able to turn himself around now. When I lay him down on the blanket in the living room's corner he starts to wiggle and by using his tail and his small claws Jacosa can push himself onto his belly. I don't know if this makes any sense, but he likes to turn himself around for a few times. Has to be amusing or something. And everytime he squeals because of the wonderful accomplishment.
Strange, strange,...did you know otters usually hunt at night ?...You didn't ?...Well, don't ask about my new sleeping habits when Jacosa tries to babble during sleep...

A Piece of a Ghost
A large red thing, which was usually supposed to be slimey, seemed to enjoy looking at Jacosa's eyes closely. Indeed he was sure he had seen such a thing before.
His tiny hands combined with claws were clutching around the little ghost plushie Andraste had given him. It wasn't so easy to hold it up for a long time, but he practised a lot. The long red thing reminded him of the white girl from the other day and he remembered the tickling feeling and that was fun.
He had also gotten something else. It was green and reminded him of nothing, but at least it was fluffy too. Jacosa had tried to roll across it and it still looked the same. Interesting. Definately very interesting. But as he had tried to bite it the big woman, who was sometimes putting him into the water and used to talk to him, had become loud again.
He didn't like it when she was loud, but she didn't understand it. It probably was a result of her not understanding him at all. Oh there she was again showing him the thing she called 'ghost'. For him it wasn't ghost, for Jacosa it was just a thing with a big red tongue. He could address to it by squealing two times. The green one was waving the hand.
Andraste didn't seem to get it though. She was quite content that he hadn't destroyed the two plushies she bought the other day. Sometimes Jacosa was fond of rolling through the whole living room now and then and so distraction was always good. The little otter desperately needed attention.
Perhaps another playdate ?
