Lovely names. Fitting, she supposed, "Nice choice," Ianna commented, giving a soft laugh. Best names came from impromptu yelling, she had learned at times.
"Anyway...There's one more thing to show you. If you wanna pick up your children and follow me..." she trailed off and went to pick up her own daughter, walking towards the door to the right of her desk, "This way."

Indu lifted the children one by one, situating Levis on her hip, and letting her cling as she picked up her brother. He was a rather suspicious little thing, those angelic looks opposing the evil glint in his eyes. Oh goodie.
"Uhm, sure, I'll be right there..."

"Okay dokie," Ianna said, travelling through the door and into the large lobby.
As they entered the main lobby Via the portal connecting the shoppe and the headquarters, the first thing they would notice is the vast...largeness...of it. The high ceilings, edged with gold, the large chandeliers dripping with crystals, the smooth white tile-floors, colorful rugs, and beautiful paintings.
To the left was a large recreational area complete with a large flat-screen television, several rows of various games, movies, video game systems and books. There was a basket of toys in the corner, full of plushies, dolls, cards and various other objects which would appeal to most ages. Included in the area were several comfy looking couches and plush chairs just made for sitting, lounging or bouncing in. It seemed to be heaven on a fluffy carpet. It even had a foos-ball table and an air-hockey table....and for the slightly more food-minded GoTP, a mini fridge always full.
To the right was a large elaborate counter, which seemed to have a force-field of some sort around it, keeping anyone who was not Ianna or Matilda from going behind it. On the counter lay a roster with the names of all the Ghostly children and their guardians, and an appointment book.
From there, it branched off into halls with rows and rows of rooms. Some were storage, some were guest rooms, some were bathrooms, and one very large and ornate door to the end of the hall led to the gardens. "Welcome to Headquarters, Indu, You're welcome here at any time. Just mind the toys with the kids. Coailiann's at the "Touch and I will kill you" stage...Unfortunately."

Indu didn't seem TOO impressed with the headquarters as she was used to things like this by now, and simply nodded, glancing around briefly.
"So, is this what you wanted t--AURGH! FUUUCK!"
A glance down showed Malum with his tiny teeth in Indu's shoulder. The redhead gritted her teeth, a growl rumbling in her throat, and Levis gave her a worried glance.
"You little..."
Her eyes narrowed and her jaw clentched as she spoke in a low, furious tone.
"I WILL leave you here, if you pull that s**t again, Malum."

"Yeah, this is what I wanted to show you. Most of the other guardians mull around here, though it's quiet today. We have a training room and a library and a very very large garden in the back..." she smiled a bit, then blinked.
Had the boy just bit her? Ianna had to bite back laughter - though Coailiann was giggling gleefully, "BITE!"

Malum's eyes twinkled wickedly at earning laughter as a response, and even though Levis made a discouraging sound, he clicked his teeth at Indu in response, making the redhead turn a dangerous shade of red.
"Okay, Mal. I can play that game too. How about an eye for an eye?"
Indu barred her own teeth, revealing much larger, and sharper ones than the boy had, and obviously planning on biting him back. In the face of a stronger enemy, Malum lost his grin quickly. Levis giggled.
"That's what I thought."

Ianna smirked a little bit, "Interesting way of parenting. At least it makes 'em stop."
Coailiann giggled again and wiggled, "DOWN! DOWN!" she bit at Ianna - mimicking the little boy. Ianna's eyes widened and she yelped, almost dropping the white haired toddler, falling back on the plush couch.
"Coailiann! No!"
The green-eyed little girl looked up at her mommy, "Nummy!"
Ianna glared...and Coailiann shrunk back, "Sowwy..."

Levis seemed to find all this very amusing, and now, so did Indu. Hah. Malum was obviously going to be getting people to copy him a lot in the future. The redhead stepped forward and promptly dropped Malum the short distance to the couch, which he scowled at her for, surprisingly matching her most common expression. Both Indu and Levis raised both eyebrows, also with identical expressions. Look at the happy family!
Levis was set down more gently, and the girl gave Coailiann as sweet, if shy smile, her brother babbling loudly between them.
"Tch. Some of them need more encouragement than others."

"I suppose. Coailiann is a rebel, mark my words. I dread when she actually learns how to walk...." Ianna settled herself on the couch and set the toddler down, who immediately crawled back onto the couch to poke at the babies.
Poke.
Poke.
"Hiiiiiii!"
Green eyes looked curiously at them and blinked, "Hihihihihihihi!"
Would they talk back?

Malum looked more than a little annoyed, and reached out a tiny hand to push Coailiann's forehead, trying to shove her away.
Levis' brows knit together, and she reached out to touch her brother's elbow.
"Nuh-uh!"
The angelic boy wrinkled his nose distastefully and glared at the pale-haired toddler, but stopped pushing her. Levis, obviously the one who was more mentally developed, if less physical, shot Coailiann another shy glance.
"Ai."

Coailiann's brow furrowed at being pushed and clenched her little fists, "Bad! BAD BABETING!" she clenched her little fists, obviously about to hurt the little thing. However when he stopped, her green eyes glittering brightly as she looked at the little girl.
"Hi!" she smiled brightly and crawled right over Malum, sitting half on him and waving to Levis.
She didn't like the little boy. Not only did he steal attention from her but...HE PUSHED HER! THE NERVE!

Levis colored slightly at the attention, not used to, or particularly fond of, it and her smile grew as she copied the older girl's motion, wiggling her fingers.
Malum did NOT like this. Attention was supposed to be on HIM, and MAYBE Levis, but not ANYONE else. Especially Levis' attention! It should ALWAYS be on HIM!
The little boy pushed Coailiann's body off of him, in Levis' direction, and scowled darkly, his pale face reddening in anger.

Coailiann barely managed to brace herself not to fall on Levis - and then her arms decided to give out and she fell atop of her, "EEEE!!!!" she didn't like being pushed, and instantly her legs kicked backwards in a frustrated motion, kicking Malum off the couch and onto the plush carpet.
"BAD!" she screeched and rolled off Levis, curling up.
Ianna raised a brow, "We have hellions on our hands..."

Indu simply folded her arms across her chest, looking highly amused.
"I suppose. I've got worse at home so..."
She shrugged. The twins seemed pretty simple to her.
Levis let out a strangled cry as she was fallen on, and squeezed her eyes shut until Coailiann rolled off her. She didn't like surprise touches.
"Mmmmnnn!"
Malum hit the floor with a thud, and growled, pushing himself back into a sitting position. Until he saw that Coailiann had fallen on his Levis.
"NAHHOW!"
The little boy crawled, and tried to pull himself back up onto the couch, but only fell back down onto his diapered butt.

"Uhhhhh...Maybe we should seperate them before they kill eachother...." Ianna murmured, picking up Coailiann in her arms - taking her way out of reach from the angry little boy, "Besides, I'm sure you have a lot of bonding to do with them...No? Maybe you can come back in a bit and meet the other guardians..."
She smiled a little bit and Coailiann scowled darkly at Malum, levitating one of the apples on the desk towards him, intent on bonking him in the head, "KILL!"
Ianna blinked, "COAILIANN UMBRIDGE!"
The apple dropped - right on Malum's head.
