Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Just a little RP to get some introductions going from my end. Join if you'd like It's open for everyone.))

Kami sat in a lowback chair thumbing idly through a name book as she gently rocked the newly purchased stroller full of baby crocodile. Another member to the household. She looked up from her book to check on the little monster as he slept. If it wasn't for the line of drool streaming from his gaping maw, he'd actually be cute sleeping in the deep blue seatting.

On her outting to get him supplies he had made himself quite the arch nemesis to all things chore related and in a fit of needing a break, she took him into the cafe below her apartment in hopes that food would sooth the savage beast. There was something to be said about the nasally French accordian music huming softly from the intercome as people of various social status tried to wow the waitors with how badly they could work the accent in the menu choices. Not long after their arrival had he nodded off and allowed her a few moments of peace.

In a flail of bristling fur and tumbling book, she just about swallowed her tongue as the hand clapped down on her back followed by the boisterous greeting. The baby crocodile scrunched up his snout, and squirmed in his seat as well, equally as startled. He let out a groggy whine and scrubbed at his eyes with tiny scaled hands. Ready to turn on whoever the intruder was she goggled up at the familiar face.

"Toushin?! My god, you just about got snapped at. How are you?" She greeted in turn retrieving her book from the floor with a sigh hoping to settle her jouseled nerves. Upon his inquiry, she glanced up to the baby and gave a small shrug. "I didn't either. My son found him a day or so ago..Still trying to think of a good name for him at the moment." She quirked a brow and nodded to Toushin's little stow-away. Something about those eyes was unsettling, but out of politness, she shook it off and offered a smile instead.

"I'm guessing that you were claimed too then?"

The child had awoken thans to the conversation overhead and looked up sleepily to see Toushin better. Out of reaction, the baby leaned into the gesture, mouth open wide expecting a treat. "Ghaan!"

Large ears canting back against her scull, the mixbreed tried her best not to stare back at the child, looking down to her own companion. Thankful that he pulled her out of the mild daze.

"Oh..! Auhm.. let's see what I have left here.." She picked through the remains of a salad on the table for the small cubes of ham they'd toss in. She frowned slightly at the findings but set what she could find aside, gesturing for a server. She looked to Toushin then back at the plate and gently offered the few scraps of meat.

"Would you care to try? Fraid I've had my quota of bite marks for the hour. You and your little one hungry?"

Smelling the food as it was being moved about, the baby wriggled excitedly in his stroller leaning to grip at the table cloth in an atempt to pull himself closer.

"Gnaa! Ghaan!!"

The baby was watching Toushin's hand like a hawk. Stopping mid tug to gap his little mouth as wide as he could. The moment the meat was airborne and close to his face, the child snapped his jaws shut, giving a few follow up snaps to be sure that it was in deed inside his mouth. Happily bouncing his legs and swaying his rudder like tail.

Kami couldn't help but watch the scene with a little bit of unease, partially in reguards to how happy Toushin was about it and the children's different reactions. The many tiny rows of teeth sitting contently aside Toushin's head making her worry slightly.

"You.. don't say..! You can share those between them two. I can order more.."

She'd not raised anything so feral in some time and it amazed her how strong instinct was in animals so young. She glanced up to notice that her sentiment was shared by the server whom she had summoned. Though the girl had stayed a good few feet away and she couldn't blame her. To her credit, the woman gave her most pleasent of additudes and waited offering Toushin a menu gingerly and reciting the specials of the day.

The server wrote down Toushin's order nodding vaguely as she looked over to the pair of fourthwallers now and then. Kami nodded in agreement as she reached into her pocket to fish out a sucker and a lighter. She smiled warmly, her mind set at ease by her friend's carefree nature, she even had to admit that Duras was cute in his own way.

"I'll second that bowl of diced ham and augh just bring me a refresh on my drink if you don't mind." She smiled to the woman and slid the baby's stroller closer so that Toushin wouldn't have to toss the meat as far, not to mention cause such a scene. She sighed and picked up her book again thumping the edge of it on the table as she rested her cheek on her palm when the server moved off to get the order taken care of.

"I really have to think of a good name for this lil guy. I can't keep calling him 'lil guy' and what not. Any suggestions?" She looked hopeful.

She ponders this for a moment, looking at the baby as she tried the name on for size mentally. He was busy staring up at Toushin, his trademark crocodilian smile stuck on his face as he waited for more. Detecting there was none, he looked up to Kami and starting to make that 'quack' noise again. She drew the corner of her muzzle down in an odd face and shook her head.

"Mmh don't know if that would work. It's bad enough Kanoa thought he was a dog." She unstrapped the child from his seat and pulled him up into her lap. His noisemaking settled for the most part as he looked across the way to notice Duras seemingly for the first time. In reaction, the baby went still hoping to blend into the camoflage...of Kami's snow white shirt.

Seeing that his atempt to hide had failed the baby gaped his own mouth, though his reply was more of a spitting hiss. It was an odd hello but a hello none the less, he figured. Kami furrowed her brow at this display and ran her hand along the child's back scales.

"Nah, not alotta dogs around here. Then again, there aren't alot of other children when you think about it so I can kind of see why." One of her ears flickered moments before a couple of bowls were set on the table before them along with Toushin's sandwich and drink. The server had brought along kids play mats with crayons but if Kami had thought about it, she'd have asked her not to.

The baby's his was cut off by the smell of cold ham and his head turned as if connected to the bowl. "AHK!!! AHHK!!"

The crayons didn't stand a chance in the ha--flipper of the baby shark and Kami could only look sympathetic. She guided her own charge to his respective bowl of ham bits and let him scarf the bits of meat at his leisure. If you could call spittle and shaking one's head and sending cubes of ham every which way leisure. A little past half way into the bowl and he began to slow down chewing more contently as he looked up to his dining companion. Looking at the brightly colored sticks laying beside him, he leaned down and scooped them into his mouth in a show of good will.

"Ohh...crap..!" She cursed grasping thre rest of the crayons from the table and setting them on an empty chair. She sighed with a shake of her head, "At least they're nontoxic. But my goodness.."
