Huni Pi Huni had decided to return to the HQ as Paestri seemed to enjoy meeting Gyre. Hopefully they'd meet other Legends as well.
For once Pae wasn't sleepy, she was awake because she was excited to see who was at the HQ. Naita Cheeks pink from the kisses of the evening wind, nose somewhat red, and eyes glittering despite the bags underneath them, a woman made her way into the old building, almost familiar with the way now.
Her steps were slow, laborious due to the large bump attached to her middle. The babe inside was growing, and more often than not Naita's masquerade tattoo was marred by the bump of one or other body part from the child inside.
Another reason for such slow steps was the child carried without her body. This infant was rather on the small side for her age, skin pale as death's kiss, eyes black as night. Her hair, which was long enough to envelope her body like a coccoon, was equally dark, falling in soft waves like a waterfall from whence midnight drained.
Her pretty face held angelic expression, carried even to her eyes. Breena was talented in the art of deception. Huni Pi The warmth of the HQ was a welcomed thing as the red head made her way into the main room where the couches were. She gave a quiet sigh as she seated herself down, jade eyes gazing towards the entrance.
The infant in Huni's arms followed the woman's gaze with her own icing-pink eyes. She wondered whether or not she would meet someone, some other big person or another small person such as Gyre. Paestri smiled at the memory of the older Legend, she liked the masks and the feathers and hoped she'd see her again soon. Naita Headed for that room best explained as a 'lounge,' Naita stepped up her speed a tad, as much as was possible when so weighed down.
The infant in her arms was uncharacteristically lively on this day, black eyes flicking about herself, pudgy little hands reaching out as if to grab this or that, as they caught her attention. As she was used to Breena sitting quietly until a plot entered her devious little mind, Naita was labouring under some apprehension. Huni Pi Footsteps drew the red head's attention and saw a woman arrive. Huni smiled to her, giving a little wave before she noticed the little girl in her arms.
"Hello." she greeted warmly.
Paestri cooed in delight, it may not be Gyre but it was another girl. This one was even her age! She watched Breena with interest, the other girl's deathly pale complexion was a stark contrast to Paestri's chocolate hue. Naita Gaze meeting others, Naita's mouth curved slowly into a smile, eyes darting to the girl suddenly still in her arms. It was with some hope that her mind cried 'how bad could it be, maybe she's in a good mood!'
"Hallo," she responded, nodding in lieu of a wave, made impossible by the two arms wrapped about her charge.
Taking in the other girl's face, figure and coo at the sight of her, Breena's mouth echoed that of her temporary guardian, serpentine movement flicking the edges up, mouth even opening a small way, admitting a gaze of the very caps of growing teeth. Huni Pi To avoid any awkward silence from arising (as it often happened for the red head), Huni introduced herself and the little baby seated on her lap. "I'm Huni and this is Paestri." she smiled.
Paestri returned the smile, this one looked nice too! And she found this other girl very pretty.

Nodding at this introduction, Naita made a half-gesture, impeded by the babe in her arms, to herself, and then said infant.
"M'names Naita, and this kiddo is Breena."
Raising her black eyes to the adult's face, Breena took in the other's guardian, making her usual notes in the work of a moment. A sweet smile was extended to her, as well.
To any observer, it would seem the babe was a friendly soul.

Huni smiled at how adorable Breena was, glad that the legends they have recently encountered weren't the anti-social sort.
"Nice to meet you both."
Paestri turned her icing pink eyes at Naita, momentarily cooing at the big person before she returned her attention to Breena. Would she know as much as Gyre, she couldn't help but wonder and compare. Tilting her head to the side as if the gesture would enable her to find the answer.

"You too," responded Nai, before placing the babe on the floor and searching for a comfortable chair in which to rest herself.
"So how'd you wind up with... Pastry? M'self, I've only got this one while her real mum's off watching children be born, or something."
Released at last, Breena eyed the one seemingly her companion for the moment.
Could be worse. Far too... sugary looking, with that pastel outfit and hair, for Breena's liking, but then, no one had really ever met her liking. They were playthings, toys for her to dispose of as she saw fit.
Still, a charming actress she was, and she extended another smile to the babe, holding out her hand, in which was gripped a grey crystal, seemingly to have materialised out of nowhere. Breena was learning the art of illusion already, due to her kind tutor, Riife.

Seeing that Naita had set Breena on the floor, Huni thought it best to follow suit with Paestri.
"Have fun sweetie." she fondly whispered, patting the infant gently on the head. "How'd I become Paestri's guardian? Well, funny story really, I was headed here just to poke around, see if anyone I knew was about. Passed by this bakery that I was sure wasn't there yesterday, so curiosity and all that, I went in. I found her in the kitchen, near the ovens I think... not all that sure." Huni chuckled, rubbing the back of her nape. "Oh so you're baby sitting for the time being?" she clarified, she was curious about Breena's arrival, hopefully Naita would be able to tell her.
Paestri crawled over to Breena, a sweet, gentle smile on her face. She coo'ed in curiosity at how the other Legend had managed to produce the crystal from thin air. A hestitant hand reached out, not quite touching it in case Breena only wanted to show it to her.

Nodding absently, Naita nodded at the infant, quirking one brow at the other woman's story.
"Really? Dang, nicer than how Lady Siri got Breena.
Found her dead."
Though most would follow this up with more information, the woman stopped there, poking idly at a bump in her belly, where the babe inside was kicking.
On the floor, Breena held the grey item out a way further, prompting the other to take it.
She had a vast supply, and found them an easy way of building trust. Others were such suckers for a simple physical gift.

Huni smiled at first, then blinked in confusion, then practically did a double take.
"Ha? Did... you just say dead?" she asked with a scratch to her head, "I'm sorry if I misheard, I tend to do that a lot. Once someone said tinderbox and I heard ginger fox." the red head chuckled awkwardly, "Oh and how far along are you?"
Paestri's eyes widened in delight, was it really for her? Gingerly she took the crystal from Breena, her head tilting to the side ever so slightly.
"Se' kyu," she murmured, her tongue finding difficulty in the correct pronouncation of thank you. Paestri wished she had something to give in return, perhaps she would be able to find something back home? Without so much as hesitating, Paestri opened her arms as if to embrace Breena in thanks. To the infant, that was the only way she could express her gratitude in the meantime.

Even Breena's accomplished charm could, at times, find certain shows of emotion impossible.
The apparent wish of the other to grip her in an embrace shocked the babe. None but those adults had yet tried such pathetic shows. Reluctantly, eyes closed to hide the flashes of anger which arose at such blatant emotion, she leaned into the other infant, white hands touching the other's back for but a moment before she sprang away.
"Welcome," she stated simply.
Back with the other adult, Naita inclined her head for a second at this show, before returning her gaze to Huni's face.
"Mhmm, dead," she stated simply.
"Pretty far along. 'Ready to pop' my friend calls it."

The hug ended sooner than Paestri wanted, she was accustomed to long, hearty embraces, considering Huni's love for affection. But a hug was a hug and she was happy to have gotten one. Bright smile plastered on her face, Paestri once more looked at the crystal in her hand before returning her gaze to Breena.
"Wer a' hao?" she asked, getting a tad frustrated at her pronounciation. She wanted to know where and how Breena got the crystal and what exactly it was. Huni wasn't a big fan of jewelry, a couple of simple chains here and there, but nothing sparkly like what Breena gave her.
Deciding not to press the issue of being "dead" any further, Huni gave a quick glance to where Paestri and Breena were. She grinned in approval at Paestri's display of affection, the legend was so adorable.
"Ready to pop?" Huni chuckled, "Has it been difficult, being pregnant I mean? Like morning sickness, cramps and weird cravings? And do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"

Cravings? There was her obsession with pickles, but it would be a lie to claim that that was a completely new experience, related to the pregnancy.
"Uh... just more food, really."
That seemed true enough, it was rare that Naita went fifteen minutes without munching, now.
As for the sex of the baby;
"Bob's an it, currently. And whatever it is, it kicks too much."
Here, she prodded her belly, frowning. Apparently Bob was a feisty wee thing.
Back on the floor, Breena was growing tired of playing off her charm. The other child's babbling made no sense, and it aggrivated her to have to attempt to fill in the patches of the other's phrasing.
Keeping up the angelic front, however, the babe's black eyes played over the other, smile growing, tips of white teeth playing through her gums.
"Crystal," she stated simply. "Riife's crystal."
For once, though disjointed, a phrase had come out as intended. Her vocabulary was aggrivatingly low, her ability to communicate her ideas sickeningly inadequate.

((I don't mean to cut this short but I get the feeling that it's best we end the RP here sweatdrop so Paestri has no reason to fear meeting other Legends and so that you can concentrate on Breena's quest! heart ))
"The kicking doesn't hurt does it?" the red head asked, eyeing Naita's stomach curiously.
"Hu?" the legend blinked, not sure whether or not Breena was referring to herself or to someone else.
It was at that moment that Huni's S-Tone began beeping and vibrating like mad. The red head's instinct was to squeal and jump up to her feet to try to get the electronic device from her pocket. It was only after hoping a few seconds did she manage to get at the S-Tone.
"Hello? Linny? Alright, I'll be right there," Huni turned to Naita with an apologetic look, "Sorry about this, but I gotta go. It was great meeting you and Breena, maybe we'll see each other again."
Before Paestri could get an answer from her playmate, she felt herself being scooped off the ground. She pouted at Huni, but it seems her mama was too determined to leave for the pout to work.
"Bai bai!" she waved at both Naita and Breena.
