Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Chin turned away, she failed to notice the upset look on her Mishap's face. Pink, who had yet to really see the Mishap in the basket, peered over and grinned as the little furry black fella glared daggers into the back of his mother's head. It seemed he would attempt to escape from the basket.

Asumi's comment caught his ears and he raised his head. "Oh, do you not live in.. here?" It was a subject of great interest to Pink. While Tamary was young, it was good for her to have plenty of exposure and access to playmates. However, when she was older, he would prefere to move back to his own house...

The little feather's on Tamary's head bristled with excitement at King's ready reply. She took a few more steps in her wabbly crawl toward the other reptile. Then, as Rex approached, King disappeared behind him. This confused Tam and her little hand fell out of the air. Sitting back slowly, she stared up at the toddler, who seemed to be a great deal larger than her. "Brrrrr..." She stated, not understanding his question and wondering where the pretty reptile had gone. Still, Rex was reptilian enough to hold her attention. The patterns on his face interested her and she raised her two hands toward him, as though she wanted to be picked up. "Charrrrroooo...."

Pink chuckled and whispered down in her stead, "'name's Tamary Zeuleika... you can call her Zeuleika since she likes you so much." Then he flittered his attention back to Azumi, giving the two -three- the premise of "privacy" to have their "conversation".

Tamary went silent apprumptly as the bigger boy's hand wrapped around hers. Curious, she pulled their linked hands down toward her and raised her snout, trying to stuff as much of Rex's hand in her mouth as she could, "Churrrrr"ing around it pleasantly as she gummed away. Quite preditably with Zeuleika, everything went from eye to hand to mouth, like it or not.

The sight of King, however, sent her into a shrilling frenzy. The throaty shrill was accompanied by a "Mbbrooobb.." as she did not realize, at first, that the hand in her mouth was impeding her speach. Fortunately, with King holding her attention, the hand was no longer of interest. Rex was still holding it, however, so Tam was forced to reach out with her left hand instead. "Mmmrraaw mmwwrrk.." Whatever she was saying seem to be of some importance, as her attention was entirely focused on the slitted eyes that watched her. With her left hand she reached out to touch the reptilian face.

Pink, hearing the small plea for assistance, looked down at the three. Yes, Tam did look, at first, as though she wanted to be picked up. But he doubted somehow that that was what was on her mind. It did not matter, a moment later, once she had her mouth around the hands. It didn't concern Pink until she started to take interest in King. He nodded to Rex, as one level headed man to another, "Watch she doesn't put her fingers where they are likely to be" chewed off? "bothersome." Tam may not have noticed King's teeth, but Pink did!

Zeuleika's eyes moved from her hand to King's face, to his teeth. The sight of his teeth, far from warding her off, looked shiny and white, attractive to little fingers. Fortunately for them both, the feeling of King's hot breath and tongue on her hand was...odd, to say the least. That King was actually accepting her was lost to the baby Mishap. She pulled her hand a little away, her fingers feeling damp when she made a fist. But his nose.. it was so close... just one touch...

And so she did. Her hand touched his nose, resting on his nostrils. The curiously soft yet rough feeling of his scales interested her greatly. The feathers on her head rose and feel like that of a Cockatiel's crown. The gentle chortling/purring began again in her throat, pleased with the other and his nose. Slowly her hand dragged up his head. For whatever reason, maybe a bit of intuition, Zeuleika stayed away from the slitted eyes and instead only made it up the bridge of his nostril.

Taking her hand away, she smiled grandly, blue-feathered tail swishing. "Dehwroo! Dehwrooroo!" She barked triumphantly, followed by a throaty, scratching laugh.

King wrinkled his nose, feeling a sneeze starting up at the back of his throat. Uh oh. However, it disappeared all together as soon as Zeuleika's fingers left his nose, and the tyrannosaur trilled in relief.

Then a great, chuffing sneeze erupted from the reptile. "Trrr...."

Rocked by his twin's sneeze, Rex fell back-- forwards, and managed to catch himself just him time to prevent a face-on collision with the floor. A quick recovery in check, the boy sat himself on the floor and peered around the room at all the guardians and their charges present. Why, it was a congregation in there!

Then there was the saound of a crash, and Rex flicked his his in the direction of the sound. "Hm?"

Sabriel seemed no worse for the wear - when the basket was lifted off his head, he was slightly dazed, but that faded the instant he lunged for Azumi's hand, giving out a shriek of anger. Evil person! This was all her fault! Luckily, Chin intercepted the baby and hauled the kicking and clawing bundle up into the air.

"Oh God, I'm so sorry." Sabriel yowled in rage. Chin glanced helplessly back and forth between all the people in the room. What a brat! Maybe she ought to leave...his noise would probably terrify the kids (even though they seemed like a very calm bunch). The kid with the dinosaur hadn't even flinched. That in mind, she began edging towards the door, apology clear on her face.

"Are you sure?" she asked worriedly. These people were so...so calm. If Sabriel had been tossed into their house the neighborhood would suffer stampeding cats, dogs, and everything in between. Chin made her way back to the group, Sabriel still fussing in her arms. He wasn't outright shrieking now.

She blinked down at Osso for a moment, surprised he hadn't even commented, then smiled."Thanks alot, you guys."

Pink was half lost in his own thoughts the moment he heard that Azumi lived elsewhere. Still contemplating, he reached down and pulled Tamary back onto her pink blanket. She fussed, wiggling out of his fingers. Her eyes were still following King's retreat. When her attention faultered, she looked down at her splayed toys, picking up her lion again and chewing on his ear.

The laundry moved from the washer to the dryer as the rest of the room occupants were chatting about the troublesome Mishap.

"Yep! Nice to meet you too, er....?"

The boy advanced towards Chinchille and her mishap slowly, never breaking his gaze off the now silent youngster. "Whatcher name?
