"Ow! Akilah! Stop!" The howls of the poor, poor Patrick could be heard as he was heading towards the Fourth Wall center, wincing as his fuzzy mouthful of a son clutched onto his head.
Akilah had taken a strong liking for clinging to the dark mans head, nails digging into Patricks lower jaw, paws twisted in his thick mat of hair and his little tail curled slightly as he rode on the others shoulders, "Churt!" He chortled happily, wriggling on Patrick as they continued moving.
"Damnit.." He swore, softly. The last time he had said anything bad, Akilahs older sister had started repeating it. In front of the boyfriend. Ugh. Talk about a baaaad night. "Karma was right after all - you're a psycho little ...thing! Ow!"
Hands, decorated by plastic bracelets and golden armbands, reached up to try and grab the nimble little child. While Akilah wasn't quick on his feet, as he couldn't crawl too well and mainly wriggled himself on the floor or used his hands to climb, he WAS strong. At least, strong for something clinging to anothers head. The pierced man winced slightly, letting his hands drop as a lost cause. Instead, he grabbed the door to the center, twisting it open for a minute.
Akilah chirped.
Patrick grumbled as he ducked into the center, dark eyes fluttering about before moving further inside. Akilah churred in delight, little butt bouncing slightly as he tugged at his fathers hair. He remembered this place! This is where he met his daddy.
"CHRRRRPT!"
"SHush!"

"Can Mommy buy a new book ? Can she ? Can she ?" Jacosa asked again and again as they moved through the streets. Andraste felt very tired and desperately needed to visit the bathroom. Within the last few days the desire to use a toilet more regularly had become stronger and she wondered if she had some kind of disease.
"How about going into the Fourth Wall building and we look if you can meet some friends ?" She gritted her teeth and pushed the otter towards the said building. Jacosa pushed against the door and slipped inside the warmth. Were people here already ?
Andraste followed and smiled very relieved as she noticed a man and a...fuzzy thing. "I'm Cosa. You ?" The otter quickly toddled towards the pair and didn't even notice that his mother excused herself and ran towards the bathroom.

Patrick paused when he heard others voices, turning around to look curiously at the woman and the...walking otter? Holy crap. Shock showed on the multple pierced man but it was quickly replaced by a faint smile.
In one swift movement, he was crouching down to peer at Jacosa more curiously, head tilted to the side. Akilah grumphed his agrivation at being put sideways. "My name is Patrick. This is Akilah. Say hello to Cosa, Akilah."
Akilah paused, small hands twisted as his legs let go of his fathers neck. He leaned over, nose outstretched to sniff quickly at Jacosa. Like him! It was like him! ...kinda. "Chirrpt?" He crooned, tail sticking partially up. Then his lips split into a childish grin and he giggled - giggled! - before chirruping again.

Jacosa liked to be in center of attention and his tail wiggled slightly as he took a deep breath to identify the little creature on the man's head. It was furry and small, but it wasn't an otter, was it ?
"Heylo. Padtrik and Akeela." Although he didn't pronounce the names right away it was obvious that he was glad to meet them. He waved towards the little one in a friendly way. His ears twitched as he heard the strange word and he wrinkled his nose. " Whatsa...chirrpt ?"
It definately had to be something funny, because the other one giggled. Jacosa liked laughing and so he just joined in and grinned in a naive way.

"Chirrpt and stuff is all he can say right now. He's just a baby and can't even crawl. He can climb though." He winced lightly as small, sharp paws dug into his skull to prove that. Akilah was leaning further over to peer at Jacosa even closer, both black ears up to study this bigger thing.
"Furpt?" He asked curiously, nose wrinkling up to smell at Jacosa curiously. Patrick winced once more and finally grabbed at the little meerkat, pulling him off of his head and onto the floor. There, Akilah stared up at Jacosa, black eyes wide.
This thing was TALL! And we all know what to do with tall things.
CLIMB THEM!
So try he did. Arms latched around Jacosa, chirruping, as he wriggled and tried to climb his way up him.
"Gah! Akilah, let go!"

Oh that was the problem. He was a baby. Jacosa scratched his head and nodded to prove that he had understood. Everyone was able to do cool things on land. The otter smirked, because he was only good at swimming and diving and...he was able to read now !
"Me can read now. A bit. Not good, a bit." The boy smiled proudly and didn't seem to be irritated at all as he stared at the little meerkat. This one was really small, but it had big eyes and that looked nice. Jacosa knew from the mirror that he had big dark eyes as well.
But suddenly something hit his foot and Jacosa winced. It had sharp thingies ! The otter squealed and tried to kick the meercat of and it really looked like he performed a strange dance. The claws didn't hurt too much, because he owned a thick fur, but the surprise had been quite a shock for the small one. "Eeeeeeeeeh...."

Holy cow! It was a ride! The big fluffity brown thing (he..thought it was brown anyway - baby eyes weren't too good with color yet) was giving him a ride! Akilah squealed in utter joy as he was thrown up and down against this things leg, using his strong fingers to try and propel himself up.
Patrick squaked in shock and tried to grab his son. Firm fingers wound about the meerkat and pried under his stomach, delicately trying to pry the child off. Akilah simply squealed and clutched tighter - until a finger wrapped around his tail threateningly.
Eyes snapped open and there was a squeak right before he released the otters leg and all but flew back against Patrick, with the force the other had been trying to tug him away. The dark man cradled his squeaking son close, giving Jacosa an apologetic look. "I'm really sorry, Cosa. He climbs everything. But you can read? That's good! Reading is fu--"
Akilah, now out of shock of being tugged and pulled and FLYING, stared up at his father, then back to his new climby thing. It took another second to register that he was no longer climbing and thus...started to wail. Small arms started flailing and he wriggling, still screech-wailing his 'pain'.

Jacosa sniffed and was more than relieved as the furry ball was gone from his leg. He sat down and stared at his leg with disbelief. This little one was so STRONG already. There were a few markings were the claws had been and the otter looked around to look for his mother. She probably was still at the bathroom.
His lower lip trembled for a while before he heard the man's voice and just looked curiously. "Is okay." He mumbled and quickly turned to Akilah. He wasn't just strong, he was loud as well.
Jacosa crawled towards the man and the baby and sat down beside them looking at the meercat with interest. He didn't know about babies a lot and probably they weren't allowed to be kicked and pulled and so on. "Ouch ?" The otter asked with concern and tried to move one paw close to the grey one.

"Are you okay, Cosa, I know his nails hurt like..anything.." There were fresh little cuts on his chin and jaw from just that day - Akilah enjoyed the clinging and the like. Patrick was worried about the little otter; he knew how much Iamel despised being hurt or anything like that. "If you're hurt I have..bandaides of something..somewhere..."
But Akilah was shutting up, miraculously. When he saw the otter come over, unafraid to be clung to again, the little meerkat sniffled softly at the others words. Ouch? Did his loud wailing noises mean ouch? "Prrourch?" he whimpered, trying to imitate the other. But he was young still and he was concentrating more on his ability to move then to speak... But it was close enough.
The paw was met with a curious expression, still sniffling as small paws moved out to pat at the larger, otterish paw. Patting commenced as he turned it this was and that and then...went back to petting it. "Prrourch!" He declared once more, still studying the hand as he gave one more pat and a giggle."Prrrrrrrouch!"
Jacosas name was now Prourch. Congratulations.

Jacosa looked at the small scratchs again and shook his head. "Cosa tried to fly and ran 'gainst wall. That hurt." He grinned a bit and then turned his attention back to the baby. "Is Keela otter ?"
He had met horses and pandas and frogs, but never an Akilah before. As his paw was touched he smiled a bit and nodded. That was much better than being hurt. Jacosa started to giggle as he heard the funny word and nodded. "Yeah, ouch. No do to me." He was sooo big already and he could teach the little one. That was cool, he wanted one of these too.

"..I can imagine it hurt," His voice was wry, grinning down at where his little meerkat brat was patting and playing with Jacosas hand like it was his new toy. He BETTER still like that ball he threw a fit about. "Nope. He's a meerkat. They're usually a lot smaller then he is," Akilah was about a foot in size already - that's how big adult meerkats were, "But he's a special case, like you."
"Prrourch." he huffed, nose wrinkling up and wriggling a little, like a bunny. "Prrrourch no! Chirrt." He was mainly talking to himself now but...ah well. The small fluffball wrestled himself free of his fathers light hold to crawl onto Cosas hand. Flop. Like a lazy kitty. Just..clinging to his arm. "Prrrourch no."

"Yes, did hurt." Jacosa smiled although the memory wasn't a nice one. The otter was an optimist though, but sometimes it seemed like he just didn't understand what everyone talked about. A meerkat ?
"Oh...hey cat." He greeted the friend and giggled as suddenly a someone clinged to his arm. Jacosa had no clue what the other one was talking about but it seemed like he was fond of cuddling. The other paw was extended and he looked at Patrick just as if he asked for allowance to pet Akilah. Jacosa didn't want to break the other one and make him wail again.

Patrick nodded encouragingly at the silent offer, grinning once. "Petting calms him down. Makes him vibrate, kinda like a cat."
Akilah looked up curiously at the mention of a cat. He'd seen cats! "Crrrrpt?" He wriggled once more, little prehensile-ish tail curling once, twice before he peeked over at Jacosa, stretching out slightly against him.
PETS! He squeaked happily, wriggling again and let go of his arm to twist around, showing the even whiter underbelly. "PRRRT!"

Jacosa liked to be stroked as well, but usually everyone went through his hair. He tried to remember if his belly had been petted yet and without doubt he just had been tickled. The otter thought about it for a moment and finally decided that he didn't had a clue how to pet a cat properly.
But as Patrick told him to go on, he tried. The paw was placed gently on the meercat's white belly and he moved it slightly. This definately felt funny to the sensitive parts of Jacosa's hands.
Andraste reappeared and slowly moved out of the bathroom. Hopefully Jacosa hadn't start to eat toys again. She sighed and looked at the scene. Wow ! "Hey, sorry for running off like that."

Akilah stretched out and started wriggling in pleasure before collapsing on the others leg with a happy noise. Skin fluffed up before going glat against his paw, almost purring like a kitten.
Now that his son was limp and content with being petted like a housecat, Patrick was able to relax. Petting of the stomach was his sure-fire way of shutting the little brat up and - oh, look. Person. He twisted around slightly, glancing at the woman with a faint smile.
"Hello. You must be Cosa's mother. I'd stand and shake your hand but... I'm Patrick. This is Akilah."
