Emmet's wide black eyes lifted to the boy's face when he spoke, his arms tightening around his stomach. "Y-yeah..." He stuttered out after a moment of silence, trying to figure out if this boy would be anything like the red-headed one from the slide. At least this boy looked a lot nicer...and sounded nicer, too. "...I feel sick..." Emmet informed the other boy, uncurling himself from his tight ball and recurling himself into a more casual ball, lying on his stomach over the folds of his tail. Despite looking more comfortable, he was ready to bolt if the situation called for it.
"I...uhh..." Red pupils moved, the only indication that he was looking the black haired boy over. "M'name's Emmet." He said slowly, cautiously...as if for some reason the boy wouldn't care and tell him so. He doubted it though, this boy looked like a nice one.
Riley's grey eyes moved towards the other man there, offering him a thin smile in return. Despite everything, he was eagerly watching Emmet and hoping to god that he found one other person that wouldn't send him running - slithering - in the other direction. Or that wouldn't make him throw up. "Hm." Was his agreeing noise. "Those other three are yours? They seem...cute." He finished lamely, having wanted so badly to end his sentence with 'normal'.

Tryst watched in amazement, before nodding eagerly. "Yes, please!" She said, a faint hiss coming through her words. Her smile disappeared for a moment, before coming back again. "Oh yeah, my name is Tryst."
She settled into a more comfortable position, curling around herself until she was essentially sitting on a small chair made of scales. "How do you do it?" Tryst asked again, having not quite seen what Deidre did before.
Rysha looked over as the man spoke, and she grinned. "Thank you. They've been ours all of a few days." She said jokingly, before holding a hand out. "I'm Rysha. Stoneface is Riley." Rysha said, pointing at the military man with a teasing grin. He could definately be a sourpuss, the result being that she had no end of amusement making fun of him on occasion.

"I'm Romeo." He said tilting his head a bit at the statement that the boy didn't feel good, "Want me to get your mommy or daddy for you? Feeling sick isn't very fun." He said with a frown reaching over and rubbing the other kids back in circular motions like Marco did for him when he wasn't feeling well. It seemed to help him so maybe it would help this boy.
Deidre smiled as the other girl sat down across from her. She set her half made crown aside for a moment to start up a new one so that Tryst could learn how to do it from the very beginning. She began to instruct her and slowly do the steps herself as she explained them.
"Yes, those three are mine, and thank you." Marco said with an airy laugh, "It's a pleasure to meet the both of you." He replied reaching out to shake the woman's hand as it was offered to him, "Marco Barlow."

Riley cast a glare at Rysha when she introduced him, holding out his own hand when Rysha was finished. "Riley Grey. Nice to meet you." The military man was curious as to how he came across the three dark skinned children. He had his suspicions as to where the triplets may have come from, but when he looked at Marco, he couldn't figure out how this calm-feeling person could have possibly been blackmailed. So he was probably wrong...and he wasn't going to ask. Instead, his gaze went back to the kids, and his hands toyed with the Weedle plushie that Emmet had left behind.
"Romeo." Emmet repeated slowly, staring up at the other boy. He startled a bit when Romeo offered to get Riley for him, and he shook his head. "No, s'okay...It'll go away." A sheepish blush formed, one that was blatantly obvious on his chalky white skin. "T-thank you, though..." He said quietly, his fingers toying with the tip of his own tail...he was already feeling better. "Uh...Whattcha doin?" Changing the subject, Emmet's eyes tilted down towards the toys that Romeo had been playing with. His forked tongue flicked out from his lips, tasting and air around the toys to maybe get a better idea of what they were...he had never seen them before!

Tryst watched as Deidre started another crown, picking up flowers and slowly following as the other girl explained the steps. It really wasn't that hard, once she got the hang of it. After a few minutes, she triumphantly held up a tattered looking flower crown, a big smile on her face.
"Rysha, lookit what I made! Dei helped me make it!" She shouted towards the adults, waving the crown in the air.
Rysha looked over when Tryst yelled, and couldn't help but grin. "You should make me one, Tryst." The woman said, raising her voice so the child could hear her.
Turning back to Marco, she smiled again. "Nice to meet you, too."

Romeo smiled at the boy when he said he'd be fine and asked him what he was doing, "I'm playing with my Batman toys, you wanna play too?" He offered holding up the Riddler for Emmet. He had a little map traced out in the wood chips, since he didn't really have anything to build Gotham with he had to use a map.
Deidre smiled as Tryst finished her first crown. The little cow girl went about making a bracelet now, she thought about the two of them playing dress up with flower jewelry, it was a fun idea.
"It looks like the children are getting along well." Marco said noting Romeo actually coming out of his own world and noticing some one else and Dei having fun with Tryst.

"Batman? Whats a Batman?" Emmet questioned, reaching out slowly to carefully take the toy that was offered to him, looking it over as if it were breakable. "Is this Batman? He doesn't look like a bat." His tongue flicked out at the green-dressed toy in his hands, still eyeing it curiously.
Riley's hand dropped back to himself, nodding lightly at the other man's words. "Looks like it...I didn't think Emmet would try again after his other attempt failed." The Military man was clearly in awe over the situation; he was so sure Emmet would either run away or puke...and he did neither. The little guy was braver than anyone gave him credit for.
But even then, Emmet was still a chicken to him. Scales and all.

Smiling brightly as they made more, Tryst pushed herself up, the crown on her head and a flower bracelet in her hand. "C'mon, let's show my brother." Tryst giggled, deciding to give the flower bracelet to Emmet.
Gently tugging on Deidre's hand, she pulled her towards their brothers, a proud smile on her face. "Emmy! Lookit what I made!"
"They're good kids. The boy is Emmet, and the girl is Tryst." Rysha said, having forgotten whether the childrens' names had been mentioned yet or not.

"You don't know Batman?" Romeo asked obviously surprised, "No, that's The Riddler, one of the bad guys." He explained before holding up Batman, "This is Batman, the hero of Gotham City!" He said before going into a long explanation of the Batman series and obviously putting a lot of expression into the explanation. Batman was his favorite hero after all.
"Alright." Deidre said, her new friend seemed to like her brother or so it seemed, she wondered why. Maybe this boy wasn't as mean as Clay or as weird as Romeo. She followed along as Tryst led her towards the boys.
Marco laughed a little, "Sorry about that, Clay has a way of making other children feel uneasy. Romeo has a hard time making friends though, I'm glad to see the two getting along." He agreed with Riley.
He then turned to Rysha, "They seem it, the blond girl is Deidre, the black haired boy is Romeo, and the little red head holed up in the tunnel is Claydon." He said with his usual smile.

Emmet stared at the cowlet with wide eyes. Was he SUPPOSED to know Batman? The only people he knew were Riley, Rysha and Tryst! But Batman must be a really cool guy to have his own action figure! The little Leucistic stared down at the toy in his hand as Romeo explained it to him, and then went on and explained all about Gotham and Batman and pretty much everything to do with the series. "Wow, thats cool! Are they books or movies? I'd like to see them." He said honestly, gazing down at the Riddler toy in his white hands.
When Tryst came over, Emmet was grinning. He looked over at her when she called him, and his red pupils shifted to focus on the flower crown on her head and the bracelet in her hand. "You made that, Mist? Thats pretty cool! Lookit this! Its the Riddler, he's a bad guy from Batman." He lifted the toy Romeo had lent to him, glancing over his shoulder at the other boy to make sure he was right. Shortly after that, his attention focused on the girl near his twin. "Hullo." He said shyly, pulling the toy closer to his body again. This girl was new; he'd seen her of course, and he only wished she wasn't like her red-headed brother.
Riley shifted his position a bit. "Its okay, it might be good for him." He said, mainly referring to the scare Claydon had given Emmet.

"He's a bad guy?" She asked curiously, thinking of when she had met Cody and he was talking about the bad man. "Does he take peoples' eyes?" Tryst looked somewhat interested, unaware of how they might take her second question. Was that the person that hurt Cody?
But at Emmet's question, she nodded eagerly. "Yuh huh! Here, you can have the bracelet one." She squatted down, sliding it carefully around Emmet's wrist, her black tongue sliding out of her mouth as she tried not to tear the fragile bracelet.
Rysha raised an eyebrow at Riley, but didn't respond with anyone else beyond rolling her eyes skyward.

Romeo was a little surprised at the strange question Tryst posed, "No, I don't think he steals eyes." He replied to her.
Dei looked at Emmet playing with those really weird dolls with her brother. She guessed that he was pretty weird too, if he liked that stuff as much as Romeo. She waited a while for Tryst.

Emmet looked from his sister to his new friend while they talked about eyes. He especially focused on Romeo for when he gave his answer; stealing eyes was pretty bad, he was kind of happy the Riddler didn't. "He makes up Riddles, right? He must be smart!" If true, the Riddler would have a new fan. Romeo was doing a pretty good job getting him into this whole Batman thing.
Red pupils moved to focus on the bracelet that was being put around his wrist, his forked tongue flicking in and out of his lips. "Smells pretty." He informed his twin, being completely still otherwise as to not distrupt the whole putting-on process. Eventually his gazed moved to glance at the other girl, but his gaze was quick to move; Emmet was a shy boy, and this girl seemed strange...she didn't answer him, after all. "Thanks, Mist." The little snakeling said rather shyly since the other girl was in their presence.
Once the bracelet was on, he moved his wrist to Romeo, incase he wanted to see what his sister made for him. Though it was just a flower bracelet, it was from Tryst and therefore awesome to him.
If Riley caught Rysha's eye roll, he didn't bring attention to it. For all he was concerned, scaring the boy might make him grow thicker scales.
Time wore on, and eventually Riley spoke again, more to Rysha than to Marco. "Think its about time to head home?" The military man wasn't getting antsy, he was...well okay, he was getting antsy. But his mission was accomplished; he got them out of the house, and Emmet seemed to make a friend...which probably meant he would be leaving Riley alone eventually.

Tryst smiled brightly, happy that Emmet liked the bracelet. And she was even more happy that he had found a friend, and Romeo seemed to be a nice boy. She gave him a smile, her blue eyes soft, before she turned to Deidre. "Kay, I'm done now." She said, pushing herself up with her tail.
As she stood up, she heard Rysha and Riley talking, mostly just picking up the words "time to head home." A sad look came into her eyes, and she turned to Deidre, leaning forward with her hair falling over her shoulders, an uncertain look on her face. "D'you wanna play again, Dei?" Tryst asked hesitantly, hoping the other girl said yes.
Rysha turned to Riley as he asked, and raised an eyebrow accompanied by a smirk. "Getting tired of baby watching, Commander?" She asked, though she nodded in agreement after a moment. "Sounds like a plan, anyways. Tryst, Emmet!" Rysha called to the toddlers after a moment, squatting down to give them both grins.

Romeo glanced at Emmet's new bracelet, "Cool!" He said enthusiastically giving the boy a smile. Dei always made those bracelets and necklaces so he was used to seeing them, but she never made him one so it was different to see them on some one else.
"Yes! That would be really fun." Dei agreed with Tryst. Tryst liked a lot of the things she did herself, she was glad to find a friend who was into the same things she was. She was so used to all of her brothers junk she was glad to hang out with some one else who actually liked interesting things.
"That's probably a good idea, I need to get dinner started soon," Marco said with a nod, "Deidre, Romeo, Claydon, it's time to go you three." He called to the children.
