Mistalina was in an entirely different state of mind as of a late, she seemed a little distant and lost since she gave birth to the twins. She figured it was because she had given one of them up and it felt like part of her was missing. But, she had made that agreement with Caitlyn and she had kept her word.
The black haired tiefling walked along the sidewalk, with her infant son in her arms. She was alone with the young boy, having left Demetrius and Shidiomi back at home. The small boy began to fuss, and Mistalina looked toward the sky to judge the time. Dusk was begining to fall, the little tiefling in her arms probably needed to nurse.
She frowned and looked around for a place to rest and feed her son. Thankfully she was near the clinic, and it tended to be open most of the time to visitors at least. So she headed up the street, pushed the door open and slipped in.

Let's go, Yana. Maybe Greg is there. Amyla was signing to her daughter, her hands moving in the beautiful fluid motions that made up sign language. The woman was at her wits' end and had run out of logical excuses to pry her daughter out of the house. The child had been cranky ever since she had started school, and the fact that Amyla wanted her to socialize made Yana ever more ornery. Even now, as they strode down the street toward the clinic, the child was looking peeved.
"Nuhh. You jus' sayiiiiing daat," the deaf girl drawled aloud, sighing as her mother ushered her toward the clinic door. She didn't want to see the doctors or any people. Really, she just wanted to stay in her room and sulk about having to go to that dumb place known as school.
Amyla didn't even bother to argue with her and simply opened the clinic door, smiling just a bit as Yana reluctantly entered. The woman stepped inside behind her daughter, smiling widely as she spied a familiar face. After a quick memory check, she was able to remember the other female's name. "Hello, Mistalina!"

Mistalina had begun nursing the little red headed infant when she heard the door swing open again and she looked up. "Hello, Amyla....Yana." She managed a little smile and winced, wishing Nymue wouldn't suck so hard when he nursed.

"Ohhh, your little ones were born!" Amyla said, smiling widely at the other female. When Yana balked and tried to go around her to escape, she quickly stuck an arm out to block the girl's escape route, giving her daughter a narrow-eyed look.
Yana sighed, her face assuming an expression of defeat. The little deaf girl gave Mistalina a polite wave and then plopped herself down in a chair, obviously not pleased about this situation.

"Not long ago." Mistalina let the little boy finish nursing before she pulled up the sleeve of her shirt again and set the little boy up to burp him. He had short messy red hair and curious red eyes, as well as a little pointed tail, like his mother. "This is Nymue."

Settling herself on a chair nearby, Amyla smiled at the sight of the little boy. He was adorable. "Nymue. He is very good-looking," she said, smiling widely. She then gestured at her own daughter. "I think you met Yana before. She has grown a bit since then, though."
Yana, having been watching the two adults' faces, was able to discern most of what they said. She tilted her head to one side and looked back over at Mistalina, slightly curious about the baby held in her arms. While she itched to get up and take a closer look, manners and the fact that she was still cranky about being dragged here won out over inquisitiveness, and she stayed firmly planted in her seat.

"His twin's name is Alendan...he's with Caitlyn, so you'll likely not see him often, if ever." Mistalina's features saddened slightly, only for a moment. She missed her other son. "That she has."
Nymue having been fed was rather sleepy, but he still seemed to look toward Yana with a slight interest, though he couldn't discern what she was, only that she wasn't Momma.

Amyla had a faint flicker of memory, that Mistalina had mentioned that arrangement before when they met. It saddened her that things had worked out that way. Hopefully, the twins would be permanently reunited some day. To be deprived of your sibling... ahhh, best not to think about it too much. "I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get to see him," was all she said on the topic. Perhaps it was best if she left it be. "Your other child, Shidiomi... how is he?" she inquired curiously, remembering the little boy from before.
Yana sensed another pair of eyes on her, and she looked straight at the baby boy, her mismatched eyes wide with curiosity. It seemed he was looking right back, so she lifted a small hand to give him a little wave. He was sort of cute... as well as rather interesting-looking.

Nymue made a little noise and yawned sleepily, but didn't do much else. His little tail swished back and forth.
"I should, if Caitlyn keeps her word." Mistalina glanced down at Nymue for a moment, then back to Amyla. "He's well, growing like a weed...and quite happy to be a big brother."

After a moment of brief disappointment at not getting a response, Yana simply settled back in her chair, idly swinging her legs back and forth and pretending to ignore the adults. Then it became too much for her, and she got up, scooting her chair closer to her mother's before sitting down again.
Grinning a bit in Yana's direction, despite the 'I'm so not speaking to you' vibes coming off the girl, Amyla secretly rejoiced. Yay. Progress. She turned her gaze back to Mistalina after a moment, smiling at little Nymue. "That's good that he's happy about having a little sibling," she said, referring, of course, to Shidiomi. "Is Nymue an easy baby?"

"Mostly yes, unless he's hungry or tired then he gets a bit cranky..." Mistalina coo'd over the little tiefling in her arms and attempted to smooth out his red hair, the constant reminder of his other mother who she sometimes wished she would never have to see again.

Amyla had to chuckle at that. "I think all babies tend to get cranky when they're hungry and tired. At least, all have mine have," she added, glancing over at her daughter beside her. "They're quite a handful, but I think it's worthwhile, even if they drive me crazy," she added, glancing over at her own somewhat-cranky child. "I must say, though, their fussing gets less cute, the older they get."

Mistalina smiled. "Nymue is awfully quiet, for a tiefling. Perhaps its the mixed demon's blood...the first real tantrum he throws though, will prove or disprove that."

Amyla cringed a bit. "Yeah, it could be bad. I think I have a few spare sets of earplugs lying around the house if you feel you need some," she said, remembering how handy the little things had become once Caleb started throwing his screaming tantrums. Ugh. She was so glad he was past those days.

"I'll be alright, I believe. At least if he has strong lungs, it will prove he is healthy." Mistalina looked down at Nymue again and gave the boy a little kiss on the forhead.
