"I can't believe this."
Natalia stared at the baby in her arms, head shaking slightly. No. This happened to other people. Not to her. Dammit, she didn't even LIKE kids.
"He has tentacle hair. What on earth has tentacle hair."
Obviously the baby.
The infant stared at Natalia surely in the face, hair rustling somewhat unnaturally.
"Buu?" it said.
"Shush," Nat replied. Reclining on the park bench, she looked at the child dolefully. "This...just isn't fair."

Telling lies from truth wasn't the only talent Mignon had. She had a nearly uncanny ability to tell Sin's from normal people.
However, with the bright purple color of the baby's hair, that didn't exactly take a brain surgeon to figure it out. She twisted one of her own curls around a finger before wandering over to the woman.
"Hi there." She greeted, giving a nod to the infant. "I love the wild hair on that one."

Natalia's eyes flicked up to the new arrival, instinctively unimpressed.
"Hey," she said, looking down again as the infant shifted on her lap. "Thanks, I guess..."
The baby blinked serenely, noting the new one with interest. Tiny hands stretched out, grasping expectantly.
"Buu," it cooed.

"Some of them aren't nearly as attractive as this one." Carefully leaning over to see the baby, she tickled his nose with one curl. "Even I didn't have such nice hair when I was a baby."
Judging from the woman's action towards the babe, Mignon didn't think she'd try and rip off her arms if she... liberated the infant. So, she did, scooping him up. "Look at you, aren't you just a dear?" She cooed, giving him a tap on the nose. While she might not allways be that fond of babies, they did usually have a good chance of growing up to be attractive.
"So, what's his name? I'm Mignon, by the way." She added as an afterthought, giving the protector a nod.

Natalia privately hoped the girl would take off into the sunset with the baby, but since she didn't seem ready to sprint Nat contented herself to sit with arms crossed and dog's-tail twitching in agitation.
"I s'pose he's cute," she said offhandedly, giving the baby a glance. It burbled at her in what she supposed it thought was a charming way. "Um...name? I wasn't gonna...y'see..."
Natalia sighed. Obviously this girl thought she was going to keep the thing. Her ears laid flat against her head in distress.
"Fiore," she said, the word coming unbidden as she noticed the flower buds in his hair. "And I'm Natalia."
