Lenore looked on in approval, nodding.
"Oh yeah, that's how it went. Thanks." She said, mimicking the pattern the boy had played. "Ah, there we go."
Crow looked slightly startled.
"Did he just...?"

Pyren took no notice as his perfect playback of Lenore's song and began to try and sing with her again, this time however he propped himself against Lenore's leg because he was getting a little tired and hungry.
Shane shifted his glance from Pyren to Crow then back to Pyren and shook the inquisitive look off his face. Pyren was having too much fun for Shane to interupt Lenore's song to really test Pyren's playback skills. Instead, Shane shrugged and sat down to hear the rest of Len's song before he figured he'd venture off in search for food for Pyren.

The song stretched on for five more minutes, with Len taking a bit of artistic license and pounding at the xylophone like it was a baby grand piano. Her voice was a little rough on some of the higher notes, but it still made for a grand effect.
As her voice died down to a whisper along with a faint tinkling of the metal xylophone keys, she pushed the instrument away and sighed in contentment.
"That was fun, huh?" She asked Pyren, grinning.
Crow clapped for her daughter, pleased at the performance.
"Nice, Len. Very nice."

Pyren clapped along with Crow and Shane, not really knowing what he was clapping for. He then tried to echo along with what Crow was saying.
"Nery ice! Nery ice!" Pyren complimented, turning to face Len. He then let out a little little yawn and felt his stomache growl so he started calling for Shane.
Shane also applauded Lenore's performance, amazed that such a unique melody could be pulled out of a single major scale.
Shane then found Pyren crawling over to Shane, calling him for something.
"What is it Pyren?" he asked picking the boy up.

"He sounds hungry," Len said, getting up.
Crow smiled at Pyren, then at Shane.
"We have to get going anyway. It was very nice meeting you," She said.
Len, scooting over to her pile of toys and throwing them unceremoniously back into the toy box, waved goodbye to Pyren with a pleased smile.
"See you again soon, I hope," she chirped.

Shane looked at Pyren and then heard his stomache growl. Pyren had a very irritated look on his face, and he almost seemed like he was about to cry too.
"Oh you're hungry are you?" Shane said, trying to cheer Pyren up, and paying attention to Lenore at the same time.
This acknowledgement didn't seem to help Pyren's situation at all, so he started to sob a little bit.
Shane gave a bit of a sheepish look to Pyren and Crow before nodding his head.
"Yeah, I think it'd be best if we went too." he said "We'll definatly see each other soon! I think Pyren had alot of fun today. Bye!" Shane laughed at the end of this sentance, as Pyren squirmed in his arms in an attempt to nudge Shane towards the exit of the toy room.
As soon as Pyren was certain that Shane had begun moving out of the toy room; he let out a farewell
"'Nore!" he chirped loudly as they made their way off towards, what Shane hoped would be the kitchen.

Green hadn't a clue how long it'd been since she and Rose had paid a visit to the Mishap school. However, she did know that it had been an unacceptably long time. Rose needed to interact with children other than her siblings; children that she could relate to in other ways. By keeping the bunny child away for so long, she'd done nothing but harm her.
"Rose, come back here!" She called exasperatedly and grabbed the toddler by the back of her orange t-shirt before she could race off. If Rose ever managed to sneak away and dissapear into any of the many rooms of the school (without supervision) all hell would break loose.
The toddler struggled against her mother's hold for a few moments but sighed in a resigned fashion and finally gave up when neither Green's iron grip let up nor the cotton of her shirt began to tear. Most unfortunately, it didn't look like she'd be free to wander off on her own.
Yet.
Rose glanced at her mother mischeviously and then promply relaxed grabbed ahold of the blond woman's hand. Green cocked an eyebrow in surprise and shot a suspicious look at the bunny child. Rose's moodswing troubled her.
After pushing the bothersome thoughts into the back of her mind, Green shrugged and led the toddler into the toy room. She wondered who they'd find there.

A woman who was relatively new to the Mishap school had actually managed to find her way into the toy room with her child in her arms. Though it was unlikely that she'd actually be bitten by one of the two male snakes, she kept an eye on both of them just in case. They had gotten there just a little while before Green and Rose had come in. Of course, Dante was already slightly exhausted by then. Keeping track of Lanis was like watching a baby that was holding two venomous snakes. The only thing that she didn't have to worry about was if the snakes would bite the little girl or not.
Dante had long since given up trying to help Lanis figure out how to play with the toys. She seemed to be having enough fun even without knowing what exactly she was supposed to do with each of the individual items. In her stationary position, she looked extremely content. But once her eyes caught sight of something happening, she blinked in the direction of the entrance. The little snake girl had yet to meet any of her fellow Mishaps. She did not understand who the other child or her gaurdian was. The block she'd been playing with scooted behind her back as she cautiously moved it away.
"Oh, hello. Pleasure to meet you." Dante spoke kindly, and with a smile toward the two newcomers.

"Hello," Green greeted the stranger merrily, delighted by the site of Dante and the pink haired baby. It was a warm, sunny day outside and upon leaving her house that morning she'd assumed that it might be an excellent chance to meet somebody at the school. After all, not many parents would be willing to take their children places if the weather was wet and muggy. Well, at least Green wouldn't dare let Rose outside during bad weather. She'd never be able to get the mud out of the little girl's clothes!
"Baby!" Rose exclaimed excitedly, pointing an excited finger at the other Mishap. The only other baby she'd known was Gage, her younger brother, and most of the time, he smelled funny. That was because he was a boy, Rose was certain of it. Boys often smelled funny. Nevermind that she hadn't really met any. Gage told her everything she needed to know.
"Yes, that's a baby," Green nodded and, after checking to make sure the door was securely shut behind them, let go of Rose's hand.
The cheerful toddler thrilled in her newly found freedom and immediately tottered over to the green-skinned baby.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, too," she finally continued, brushing a stray lock of blond hair behind her ears, "The name's Green."

Dante kept an eye on Lanis to make sure that nothing happened. She was a little nervous, though she hoped it would wear off in time. All she could do at the moment was hide it. As long as she watched over the girl and made sure she was all right, things would go smoothly. She hoped they would, anyway. "It's good to see someone taking advantage of the nice day. I'm Dante, and this is Lanis." She smiled lightly, motioning toward the little girl before going back to her half-watching state.
Lanis blinked at the other girl, unsure of what to do or even who the rabbit was to begin with. Again, she cautiously moved the block. It was risky, but she didn't know any better. The snake girl had already partially claimed the block as her own. Curious to exactly what the newcomer was as well, Adrian and Cedric seemingly licked at the air around Lanis. Adrian, though, ended up mostly touching the block with his tongue instead of figuring out what the scent was that had come into the room. She offered the block to Rose, though most definitely expected it to come back to her sooner or later.

"I was just thinking the same thing," Green said pleasantly while, like Dante, keeping a practiced eye on Rose. She knew suspected that once she turned her back, the toddler Mishap would get into some form of predicament. Her nerves were on constant alert; cautious and ready to leap into action. Though, it was well understood that Rose would be more likely to cause trouble than actually be in it.
"That's Rose," she inclined her head in the direction of the bunny child and then smiled when Lanis offered the block to Rose, "She's a sweety. How long have you had her?"
"Thanks," Rose beamed in that way children do and snatched the block away from Lanis in an unitentionally rough manner. She examined the block carefully for a few moments and, after coming to the conclusion that it wasn't that interesting, returned it back to Lanis.
It was the other Mishap's hands that captured her atention next. Her eyes-widened and Rose plopped down onto the floor in front of Lanis, intrigued by their eyes and flickering tongues.

Dante kept a smile on her face. The slight itch to just completely stare at her child with her full attention was hard to ignore, but she was just a baby, after all. Who knew what would happen once Lanis grew into a teenager. "Only a few weeks, unless I'm horribly mistaken." She laughed lightly. She was still new to parenthood, but hopefully, she'd be able to grow into it. It was unlikely that she could get any worse, in any case. "It's actually my first time coming here." She confessed with a slight smile.
Lanis was shocked at the sudden pulling of the block. It was bad not to be able to have her block, but the sorrow at the lack of her plaything made her overjoyed at its return. Although Rose didn't find it incredibly interesting, the baby found just playing with it aimlessly incredibly amusing. And it kept her hands busy, as well. They seemed to be having an interesting time just moving the block between them and finding out exactly what it was.

"Is she your first child?" Green asked, curiosity getting the better of her tongue. Rose was her fourth daughter, so, fortunately, Green had been slightly prepared for the energetic toddler. Although, things were getting a bit more difficult with three toddlers running around the house. Thank god for Nyx and Marie, her eldest daughters. She didn't know what she'd do without them.
"I've only visited a few times myself. Poor Rose hasn't met very many kids yet."
Rose was entranced by Lanis' hands. They looked so... so... cool! The toddler examined her own hands for a few moments and then frowned. The other Mishap's hands were cooler than her own.
Wait a minute. Her little brow furrowed in thought. Lanis had cool hands. Rose didn't.
...What if they switched?
Then Rose could have cool hands and Lanis wouldn't! The pure brilliancy of her conclusion awed the bunny child and she clapped her hands in delight, proud of herself. Nevermind that it was physically impossible. Rose would make it happen.
What if Lanis didn't want to swap? Rose frowned and scratched her ear. Then, she did the only thing she could think of; pointed at Lanis' hands with one hand and waved the other in the baby's face.
"Cool," she beamed. It was her favorite word; something she'd picked up from her oldest sister.

"Actually, she is. What about you?" Dante saw that Green looked relaxed -but then again, Green could just have been doing the exact same thing as she was. "Rose is the first child that Lanis has met. And to tell you the truth, I'm starting to feel glad that it was her." She nodded, genuinely glad to meet another guardian and a Mishap. She wasn't even exactly sure how many Mishaps there were, but considering the size of the facilities, there were probably a lot.
Lanis looked up innocently from her play before having a hand waved in her face. Her hands were... 'cool?' She didn't understand what that meant, but it seemed like a good thing. The little girl couldn't help but giggle at the thought of her hands being this 'cool.' They had yet to be of great use to her -Dante had had to keep them at bay a few times. The guardian didn't want to find out first hand if the poison that came from her hands was lethal to creatures larger than small mammals or not. It would be strange for them to be deadly while they were so small, but still, it was not something that either of them would probably want to experience.

"She's my fourth girl," Green said casually and settled down onto the floor because she honestly didn't want to take the chance of looking for a suitable seating area. Rose had an uncanny knack of knowing when her mother wasn't looking. She refused to take her watchful eye off of the toddler for even a moment. There was no telling what might happen.
"You're glad that she's met Rose first?" Green laughed out loud at that, both surpsied and proud of the fact. Rose may have been a troublemaker but, in the end, she wasn't all bad. It was nice to have somebody else recognize that, regardless of how well they knew the child or not.
"Rose hasn't met many other children either. The poor kid's best friend is her kangaroo plushie."
Rose beamed when Lanis giggled and clapped her hands together. Did this mean that the baby was willing to swap her limbs? What an idea! She was glad that she'd thought of it.
Of course, there was the actual matter of switching. Rose still didn't know how to go about that.
"Cool," she said as-a-matter-of-factly and gestured at her own limbs, trying to explain her motives. She would need Lanis' help. That was for sure.
