[This is a roleplay created so that the Souls themselves may interact with each other. Anyone is welcome, of course, but it is mainly for the guardians.]
Memory hoisted Celestyn out of her car seat and onto her shoulder. She turned to face the familiar Gallery and began walking up the path to the door. Celestyn settled into her guardian's arms in silence but for the occasional gurgle.
"Going to see your friends today, baby," Memory cooed, "It's going to be fun for a certain little giiiir-ll." She bent her head to nuzzled Celestyn's nose with her own and kissed the Soul on her forehead. Celestyn had been unusually calm and placid today, and although Memory was enjoying the silence, it worried her a bit.
She shifted Celestyn into one arm and knocked on the door.

Noi squirmed and wiggled in Huni's arms, she was definately in her high mood. The Soul was delighted at the prospect of meeting the other children and their guardians. Though her smile was bright and wide, the infant kept her silence. No matter how happy or excited she was, Noi wasn't very vocal. The only times one heard a peep out of her was when she was upset or hurt.
"We're almost there sweetie, wasn't it nice of Keith to watch over Tamis and Tala while we make some friends?" Huni cooed to the infant as she made her way towards the Gallery.
Before arriving, she saw two figures at the door. From the looks of things, it was a guardian and another Soul! "Oh, lucky! We haven't even gone in and here's someone new." Huni grinned at Noi. "Hello there!" she greeted, the cheer Noi had was positively infectious for the red head.

Memory turned at the voice.
"How nice to meet you!" she exclaimed and her eyes traveled to the infant, "She's adorable! What's her name? I'm Memory, and this is Celestyn."
Celestyn's eyes locked on the Soul and she squealed in delight, eager to meet someone new. Memory set the child down on the floor.

"Pleasure to meet you, Memory and Celestyn. I'm Huni and this is Metanoia, but I call her Noi for short." Huni smiled as she followed suit in lowering Noi to the ground.
Noi's golden eyes took in Celestyn's form, she was particularly intrigued by the other Soul's bi-colored eyes. Without so much as hesitating, she reached out to the other infant, as if trying to discover more about her through touch.

Celestyn sat still as she watched Noi's hand approach her. Memory found this surprising; Celestyn usually shrank away from stranger's touch.
But Celestyn was engrossed in studying the new Soul. Everything about her was so new to Celestyn; her outfit, her hair. She reached out her own hand and grasped the frill on Noi's sleeve, her curiousity piqued.

Noi tilted her head to the side as Celestyn looked at her frilled sleeve. Her golden eyes blinked at the other Soul, surprised that she had been so willing. She recalled how her brothers avoided her grabby hands, not because she was rough but because, well, they didn't quite like being touched. The only exception being Tamis who would volunteer to carry Noi from time to time.
But this was different, not only because Celestyn was, in turn, touching back, but because she was female. She stared at the other Soul, as if asking why she was so willing.
Huni quirked a brow at Noi, she noted that the infant usually never paused in her physical exploration.

Celestyn noted Noi's hesitance and took her hand back, but not without lingering on the sleeve an few seconds longer. It was so soft.... and so pretty. She glanced downwards and spread her legs out in front of her, stretching the material of her baby suit. Celestyn reached her hands down to her toes as well as she could, which, being a baby, was not very well.
She looked up at Noi in a hopeful way. Her eyes searched Noi's face, looking for some kind of approval from the other Soul.
Even at her young age, signs of insecurity were already showing through.

Noi's brows knitted together in confusion at Celestyn. Why did she take her hand back? Maybe the other Soul wanted her to come closer? Thinking that was the best action to take, Noi scooted closer to the other infant, her hand once more reaching out.
This time her fingers curled around Celestyn's hair and with a bright smile, Noi started to run her fingers through the strands.

Seeing this as the approval she was hoping for, Celestyn allowed Noi to run her hands through her hair.
But Celestyn began to worry. Why was her hair so intriguing to Noi? Was there something wrong with it?
To quell her fears, she reached out a pale hand to Noi's hair and patted it softly and confirmed that it was exactly the same texture as her own.

How Noi wanted to be able to tell Celestyn how pretty and soft her hair was, but her speech was limited. The best she could do was coo in approval, and then her fascination went to the other Soul's bi-colored eyes. She pulled her hand back, only to point with a chubby fingers at the mis-matched orbs. Her smiled was inquisitive, curious, genuinely intrigued at the sight.
"They seem to be getting along pretty well." Huni smiled in relief and noted to bring Noi around more often. Though she worried what would happen if Noi was in one of her down moods...

Celestyn withdrew her fingers from the Soul's hair and touched her own eyes, her lids closed. What was so fasinating about them? They were all she had known and Celestyn regarded them with a misguided sense of normalcy.
It was then that the most extraordinary thing happened. Celestyn grasped the Earth pendant around her neck and, while the charm was still on its chain, she held it out for Noi to look at.
Memory goggled. Celestyn regarded the necklace as hers only and only drew attention to it when she felt comfortable with those in her company.

Noi's attention shifted from Celestyn's eyes to the pendant before her. Golden eyes seemed fixed upon the piece of jewelry as she cooed in admiration of it. Her hand rose up to the pendant, tiny fingers brushing gently against it. She then turned to her own possessions and found she had nothing to show to the other Soul.
A pout made itself visible on Noi's face but only momentarily as the Soul decided to make Huni buy her something in the near future. She wanted to have something to show Celestyn too! A bright smile now plastered on the infant's face, Noi giggled and nodded to Celestyn in approval of the pendant.

Celestyn smiled brightly back at Noi, happy that her pendant had been well-recieved. She dropped the earth from her hands and it fell loosely around her neck, swinging silently in place.
Celestyn crawled over to a nearby flower pot. With her pale hands, she seized a handful of the beautiful flowers and pulled them up sharply, their roots trailing dirt across her lap.
"Celestyn!" Memory repremanded, but she could not hide the amusement in her voice.
Celestyn brought the sagging mess to her nose and buried her face in it. She looked up expectantly at Noi, watching her next move.

Noi's golden eyes followed Celestyn's movement and when the other Soul yanked out the flowers, she couldn't help but squeal at the mess. It was not a disapproving one, rather it was a squeal of delight. Noi giggled and clapped at what the other infant had just done.
Then she tilted her head to the side, what was Celestyn doing by burying her nose into the flowers? She crawled over to her, albeit it was more of a squirming motion than a crawl, to see for herself.
She pointed to the flowers, "A?" she gurgled, the first sound she had made since they arrived.
Huni grinned in amusement at Celestyn, and was thoroughly impressed that Celestyn got Noi to make a sound.

Bre slunk in, a squirming Polo in her arms. "It's for your...own---GOOD" she managed to fiercely whisper, as the protesting boy wriggled about, his cries growing louder and louder. She finally placed the boy--a little less than gently, due to his fussiness--on the floor, and looked around the room.
Polo, on the other hand, dropped into his favorite light British accent, and began screaming.
"NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!"
