"Hana has a bit on an issue with words, but... I figure it's normal at that age, wouldn't it ?" That was a bit alien to him. He had never been a child, and the only children he had seen where his sisters' adoptees. The metric crapton of them. Now, the cyborg had to wonder just how the hell she did it - Hana about caught all his attention, and that was only one child !
The butterfly girl wriggeled her bear. "Myaa happy, Myaa dances, look !"

"Tansi talks alright. But it took her awhile. Pretty quiet brat, when she first arrived." See, he wasn't incapable of having a conversation like a normal person, he just usually wasn't much interested. Michael hovered protectively over his daughter, especially now that the other parents had made themselves known. He didn't mind the kids playing around her. But the adults, there was less trust there.
Tansi meanwhile, was losing interest in her plush frog. She shook it halfheartedly, echoing the dancing movements of the butterfly girl. Dancing. Smiling, she reached out toward the butterfly girl, and rose to her feet.
"We dance?" She asked, reaching for the girls hands. "Dance."
She rocked from one foot to the other, to make her point.

One of the girl's had stood up. Nahuel blinked in confusion - that was new. "Dance?" he echoed. Was that what that was called? He had, of course, never heard the word since neither Eshaa nor Wystan was the type to dance and so had no reference point. What was 'dance'?
He wiggled his bird weakly, losing interest in it. He wanted to climb - maybe there was a good place for that around here? Mom didn't like him climbing at home. Not on the furniture, not on the cabinets, not on the windowsills. He looked around but only saw the toy shelves. That'd do, he decided, and dropped the bird before rising to his feet.
Eshaa watched him toddle towards the shelves and find handholds and footholds.
"Nahuel, no!" she exclaimed. The jaguar boy looked innocently over at her, tail bobbing.
"Climb?" he asked.
"Not here," sighed Eshaa. "We'll go to the park later."
"Park?" asked Nahuel, unfamiliar with it.
"The green place with the climby thing. Down the street from our building, remember?"
"Park!" said Nahuel happily, and dropped from the shelves into a crouch. He approached the girls again.
"Wha's dance?" he asked.

Caprice looked up eagerly from her play as the other children started dancing. This was something she liked! Playing ambals was nice, but dancing was the bestest thing ever. Any excuse to get up and move around. Reese usually wasn't supposed to run around crazily at her house, but this surely was okay. Grinning from ear to ear, she lept to her feet and grabbed both Nahuel's hands.
"Dance!" she squealed happily. "I show you!" Then the black haired girl began dancing, jumping and skipping in circles, hoping to pull her male partner along.
Lis almost jerked forward to reprimand her daughter, but she stopped herself. She couldn't pull Caprice out of every social situation she encountered. If Nahuel didn't want to dance and told Caprice off, then Caprice would have to learn to be less...enthusiastic about making others join her. Lisi watched, but tried not to say anything.

The proposition seemed to go well to the butterfly girl, as she took the offered hand and stood on her feet, forgetting all about the plush animals in the process, her own winding up discarded and all but forgotten in the process.
Dancing was so much better than plushies, after all ! "We dance." She said with an happy, beaming smile, visibely more than willing to let Tansi lead them off.

And so they would dance. Not beautifully perhaps, because now with the butterfly girls hands in her own Tansi proved that she was not yet educated in the art of dance. Yet she moved with reasonable grace, for such a young child as she pulled Hana into a spinning circle, giggling as she did so, her eyes bright with joy.
If she was selfish, if she was self centered, she'd forgotten it now, she was happy to be moving and spinning with the girl across from her, happy to imagine a spotlight, imagine being something bright and adored. Releasing Hana's hands, she lifted her hands above her head, and spun as a ballerina on a music box, smiling all the time.
"We dance! All dance!" She sing-songed joyously.

Nahuel uncertainly followed the girl as she pulled him along. What were they doing? But then he realized it felt good to move and went with it. They were spinning in circles, which was rather fun, but Nahuel was getting a bit dizzy now. His hands slipped away from Caprice's and he tumbled over.
Eshaa was a little worried, but he'd taken worse spills at home, so she managed to not freak out. Still, she didn't want to look heartless, so she stepped in to make sure her son was okay.
"Feel sick," stated Nahuel, frowning as he sat up.
"A little too much fun for one day, huh?" Eshaa asked him, picking him up. He clung to her shirt.
"Go home," nodded Nahuel tiredly.
Eshaa smiled apologetically at the other parents.
"We'd better go," she explained.

Caprice peered curiously over the boy as he fell away from her, a hint of worry creasing her brow. Had she done something bad? He said he felt sick...Reese wrung her hands together restlessly, feeling guilty but not knowing what to do. Helplessly, she turned to her mother.
"Oh, honey, it's okay," Lisi said immediately, bending down to be at eye-level with the dolphin child. "Nahuel just isn't feeling good, don't be sad."
Lisi knew there were no limits on her girl's energy level, but understood that the other children were bound to get tired. Wryly she thought to herself that it was time to take Reese home, where she could dance around as long as she wanted and not tire out anyone but Lisi.
"We should probably go too," Lisi said, taking Reese's hand. Oh, she hated talking to other adults; she got so tongue-tied. What was the proper thing to say? "Very nice meeting you all. I hope Nahuel feels better."
Her face red, Lisi hoped she didn't leave anything out or seem impolite. Caprice might be a social butterfly, but her mom had had her fill of socializing for the day.

Hana was perfectly happy being twirled around like a little ballerina - and when the two girls finally where done dancing, she gave a lovely bow to her partner. So cute, Wren couldn't help but think, but quickly enough Hana came to him and pulled on his pantlegs, yawning. Yep, this was another case of sleepy toddler. The cyborg lifted her in his arms.
"We should probably be going, also. It looks like my little lady is about to fall asleep on the spot."
"'ye" The butterfly girl said, from her perch on her father's shoulder. She would have to see them all again soon.
