Malachi cocked his head at the rambling baby talk. He hadn't understood most, but he got the general idea.
"Di," he grinned and moved closer, trying to get a better look at the tiny little...whatever-she-was-exactly. All he knew so far was that he had to be careful, like he was with Nisha.
"Mmhm," Rabid smiled, "I can only imagine what's going on in his foozy little head." She gave a sideways glance to her son, trying to keep tabs on what, exactly, he was doing with Aphrodite.

"Ike! Mama! Al!" She waved to her mother. "Ike mee Al!" She wiggled making her way over to the tiny pile of clothing lifitng it up to see if her large in comparision doll was there."Di.. hun.. Al's.. stinky." She grimaced, as she was about to reply to Rabid's comment but phroidte got to her first."Stee-ken?" "Yeah really stinky." She pulled out the grey doll, he seemed stained with things at this point that were unidentifiable.At the sight of her beloved friend she clasp her hands over her face. "AL! STINKY" And thus understood the concept of the word stinky. "Al baff." She proclaimed. Baths cured all stinkiness, which was a proven fact of course.Reading the label of the doll, she sighed. 'Handwash only' and Al was then saved from the washer. "Where were we?.. oh yeah... Well the book I've been reading about how to talk to your babies said.." Catherine began picking up the coversation from where she left it. "Said the best way to figure out is by body language and by the noises they try to make while 'speaking'... I say it's all instincts, follow your gut!" She grinned as she placed Alphonse by Aphrodite.Once more she clasp her hands over her face, sticking out her tongue. she then looked to malachi and pointed to Al. "Al, he fend, ly bee brud'er." She said.

"Mmhm," Rabid nodded in agreement, "Ike's hard to read, though." She peered toward her son and furrowed her brow. He was pretty hard to read...unless he was constantly happy or depressed.
Malachi peered at the doll a moment, and then looked back down to Di. He sniffed and grimaced, his ears flattening against his head. Gods, that thing DID smell awful. Ah well. Bear-Bear had been washed before, so he didn't smell like pennies any more.

Catherine moved the now empty basket from where it was settled, lightly putting Alphone inside. She already knew the consequeses of tossing him. Lightly picking up Aphrodite she moved her closer to Malachi. Now with the space cleared she began the first half of the wash along with all of Aphrodite's clothing.
Aphrodite blinked, she felt a bit bad seeing her friend so stinky, she turned to Ike givng him a 'I'm sorry for that' look. "Ly toonies?"

"Are you ever afraid that you'll, yanno, lose her?" Rabid asked dreamily, "She so small." She had a hard enough time finding Ike sometimes, and he was large and blindingly white. She couldn't even begin to imagine what a 2-inch mishap was like.
Malachi unfolded his ears and cocked his head, "Cah-too?"
He figured Di meant "cartoons", but felt like making sure. He shook his head, regardless. Mummy didn't have a television.

" I was at first, but she has a trackin' spell on her a day after I got custody of her." She aighed while pouring the detergent into the water and then closed it shut. "Right when she learned hot to fly she had the bubble, but she's gotten better and I always keep an eye on her... but with my new job that's comming up it's going to get harder, but I'll figure out a way." She smiled.
Aphrodite gave a over-reaction, her hands on her cheeks as she gasped. "No toonies?!" she turned to her mother for the answer. "Mama! Mama! Ike no toonies!" She said aloud.
"Well sweet some people don't have TV." She explained. "So someone people can't watch cartoonies."
Aphrodite gasped again horrified. "No toonies!" She exclaimed, how can someone survive without toonies?!

"Ah. Nice idea," Rabid laughed and then turned to the mishaps, "Nope. We don't have cartoons at Ike's house." Once she had enough money...
"Do you know of anywhere nearby that needs new employees? I'm going broke, here..."
Ike shook his head again and smiled, "No cah-toos, Di." Having not seen any cartoons, he didn't mind much that he didn't get to see any. That didn't mean he wasn't curious, though.

She smiled a bit , pushing her glasses back up the bridge of her nose. "Well I can talk to Salem! So far it's just me, Duke, and Salem. Duke's a Slacker most of the time and Salem's works really hard! ... and I handle the paperwork and make sure everyone stays sane for the most part. It's a really big place!" She held out her arms in her enthusiam. She was a very animated talker hwne she was happy. " And construction is going to had the new apartments and such, and then Duke fortifies it with Magick to make sure it doesn't fall down.. we could really need the help and it pays well!" She grinned liking the idea of more people helping out.
Aphrodite sighed petting his hand. "S'ok. S'ok."

"Thanks," Rabid smiled greatfully, "I'd love to help out, even if it's just to volunteer. Where d'you work again? The...address, I mean..." She'd forgotten completely, and felt all the guiltier for it.
Malachi giggled and smiled to Di.
"Cah-dee, Di?" he asked. His usual peace offering was candy...he just didn't quite know if Di was allowed to have it...

Catherine blinked a bit. "Well.. I wanted to talk to Jabir about adding a door portal to my room so I can connect it to the one at Salem's home." She said, her smiled never wavered. "but I can give you a buisness card if you like, I'll give it to you later."
"Cah-dee?" She blinked, candy?

"Yeah, that'd be great," Rabid smiled, "Malachi's getting a bit lonely as the only child...I think, anyway. I mean, who doesn't want a talking dragon to play with?" She smiled to herself. Boy, that'd be interesting.
Malachi nodded, "Cah-dee." He plucked a pink candy from his pocket and unwrapped it. He held the little sphere out to Di, not quite knowing if he should just plain hand it to her.

She nodded with a smile. "I sent in an application to adopt a baby dragon.. and I'm on call as of right now waiting for the baby snowmaiden from Japan."
Aphrodite blinked looking at the pink orb crawling closer and poking it.

"Awww," Rabid smiled, and then cocked her head to one side, "Baby snowmaiden?"
"Eet," Malachi held it out closer to her, then screwed up his face. He pulled out another, one he'd stolen from Mummy. It had some funny words written on it, but she said it kept her from being too happy...or something like that...

Yes, Snowmaidens or Yuki-onna are hjapanese spirits that can either hurt or help. The typically reside in the mountains but the baby I will be taking care of was orphaned.. I haven't heard the full story though." she said leaning agains tthe now vibrating washer.
Aphrodite blinked a bit and looked around. The candy didn't really insterest her because well, she wasn't hungry. Why would you eat if your not hungry? So she began to crawl to her mother and became most utterly perturbed upon crawling onto the running washer. "Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-ah-ah-ah!" She stuttered as she lifted inches off the washer with each vibrations.
"Aphrodite!" She gasped turning around, bemused by the sight for a moment.
"Ma-ah-ah-ah-ah-Ma-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!" She looked sicked now.
Catherine gasped once more scooping her dizzy baby up from the washer and trying to soothe her tiny stomache. Laughing a bit. "It's ok sweetie"

"Interesting..." Rabid arched an eyebrow. Everyone in Gaia seemed to have a ore interesting life than herself.
Malachi snorted and put the candies in his own mouth. He crawled over to the washer and sat down, only vibrating slightly. He looked toward Di and cocked his head to one side.
"Okee?"
