((This is a Playdate between Nyoko and Indari. heart Kitty, if we're not following any rules, please tell me, I'm a bit goofy.))
David didn't like the heat.
It was a decidly warm day, humidity in the air, but the park he was currently occupying contained a nice breeze in its hills, ponds, trees and playthings.
Indari was bundled in her indigo blanket, awake, and scoping out the park through squinted, analysing purple eyes.
"Nice day, today, huh kid?" David asked of the unresponsive child in his arms.
Indari burped in reply.

“Well, I told you it would be warm today,” sighed a young girl with pretty pink eyes to a small child as she pulled him along. “You didn’t need to wear all those layers!”
The boy whined. “You didn’t tell me! I never heard!” He flicked his brown cat ears in annoyance. Giggling, the girl winked and flicked her own cat ears. “I did to, so don’t even go there, Nyoko.”
The two stopped closeto the young man and the baby. With a shish of her long sleek tail, the girl leaned over to take a look. “Aww, how cute! She must be a Royal, mm? I’m Kiraboshi!” She held out her hand to shake, as she introduced her adopted son. “And this is Nyoko. He’s a Royal, too.”

David looked up, a little shocked at the sudden introduction. "Oh, um, hello..." His voice was quiet and nervous. "I don't really know...she just kind of showed up in my room, with a note..."
Indari hiccuped, peering at Nyoko curiously. She knew that face from somewhere...

Kira smiled. “That symbol. It’s a Royal symbol, I believe. See, Nyoko has one.” She turned her slender body and tickled Nyoko underneath his chin. He giggled and flapped at her with his hand. “Mama Kira!” he complained, blushing lightly. His mark shone on his cheek. Winking, Kira flipped back some of Nyoko’s brown hair and winked at the boy. “Have a name?” she inquired.

"David...just David," The freckled boy mumbled, averting his gaze a little. "And this is Indari..." He hefted Indari up a little higher in his arms, and smiled at her. "So, you know about this sort of thing then?" David asked her nervously. He wasn't used to being a dad. Not at fourteen, living alone.
"Uuba." Indari explained to Nyoko, pointing to herself. She liked this furry creature.

“Well, hello, just David,” Kira said with a light chuckle. “And hello to you, too, Indari! Yes, aren’t you cute?” The cat girl tickled the baby’s cheek, then turned her attention to David. “Actually, I don’t know much about it myself. It seems everyone I’ve talked to have just found their child, or were sort of chosen to adopt them. But, they all seem to have that mark, or one that’s pretty similar. The note left with Nyoko just said that they couldn’t keep him anymore because of some war….”
Meanwhile, Nyoko was having a blast, making all sorts of faces at Indari. He stuck out his tongue. He wrinkled his nose. He flipped his ears. He wiggled his eyebrows. He grinned and jumped about. “Mama Kira!” he called out, “Isn’t she cute?!”

David blushed a little. "It said nothing about a war...it just said to take care of here, and take her to certain people on certain dates...." He said softly, looking down at Indari's squirming form.
"Uwa!" Indari humphed indignantly. What had she done to deserve such faces? Pride dented, Indari folded her tiny, chubby arms and stuck out her bottom lip.

Shaking her head, Kira glanced over at Nyoko. “I don’t think she likes that, Nyo. Try smiling.”
“But, I was just trying to make her laugh!” pouted the boy, looking a bit upset as well.
Sighing, Kira rolled her eyes. “It’s easier when they don’t talk, believe me,” murmured Kira. She sniffed the air suddenly and pulled down her pink jacket. “Hey, Nyoko? Smell that?”
Nyoko glanced up at her, completely baffled. “Smell what? I didn’t do anything!” he shouted.
“…Ew, that isn’t what I meant,” Kira said, totally grossed out. “I meant, do you smell…popcorn!”
Nyoko eyes lit up. “Yummy, popcorn!”
Kira grinned and handed him some money. “Go get some, huh?”
Without answering, Nyoko shot off, stumbling down the path to his food.
“And that, ladies and gents, is the best way to hush up a child.”

David watched Nyoko rush off, eyelids lowered tiredly. It was definatly a long day type of day today.
Indari gurgled in victory, and curled up to David tighter. Silly ears man was gone.
David smiled at Kira a little. "So, um, what's with the tail?" He asked, reffering to both Nyoko and Kira's tails. The question wasn't intended to, but it came out a little rude.
Indari bubbled boredly.

“Tail?…Oh! Well, I’m a cat demon. A youkai, ya know? I guess Nyoko has the same features. Maybe that’s why it was so easy to find him…,” Kira’s voice trailed off as she bit her nail. “He has elemental powers, same as me. Only, I have ice in my veins, and he, water.”

Ice in your veins? David mused, Wouldn't that hurt? He settled for a nod, blinking slow to conserve energy. Indari was getting heavy, too, and he couldn't very well just put her down.
As though knowing she was being thought about, Indari gave a wiggle, and David cried out, almost dropping her.
"Careful, kid!" He gasped, hoisting her up higher. "So, erm, does that mean this one will have a power?" He asked, moreso wondering aloud than anything.

“Probably. All other Royals around Nyoko’s age are getting them. Erm…want me to take her for a bit? You seem a bit tired.” Kira reached out her arms. “Babies can be fun, but lots of work!”
“What’s lots of work, Mama Kira?” Nyoko asked, walking up and tugging on her shirt. He shoved a handful of popcorn in his mouth.
“You.” Kira said, straight-faced.

David passed Indari to her thankfully, "Yeah, sort of...but I'm always like this. I dunno why." He stuffed his pale hands into his pockets and blinked his bright blue eyes slowley again.
Indari did not like this at all though. Strange woman! Strange woman! She wanted the boy! "UwwAAAAAARGH!!" She screeched, clawing at the poor lady who held her.

Kira hissed loudly, baring fangs. She lifted the baby up over her head. "Let's not play nasty, Hmm?"
Nyoko shook his head. "Biting or scratching Mama Kira doesn't do any good. She'll just freeze your hands or something," Nyoko said, sitting down. He offered his bag of popcorn to the tired looking boy. "Want some?"
"Stop being a brat, and you can come down. I'm not hurting you, and he needs a little break," Kira said in a softer voice, the baby still held away from her and slightly upwards.

A brat? Screamed Indari's concience. How DARE she! "AAAAAGAGAGAGAAA!" She howled, flailing wildly. She wanted her boy!
David looked up in alarm, handfull of popcorn. He nodded to Nyoko kindly, and climbed clumsily to his feet.
"What's wrong with her?" He gasped, covering his ears. This would mean a week long headache, he knew that much.
