Vin watched Arranos warily. Seeing the drool pour from his mouth. Vin reached for the a corner of the towel and cleaned off the drizzle. "What are you doing?" Vin shot the baby a confused glance, only to receive a grumpy glare in return.
The elf reached down and lifted his child up and turned his frail figure around and plopped Arranos back down, but this time the child had no objects in the way of watching the girl.
Arranos giggled and laughed. Throwing his hands up into the air in celebration of his victory. The blue baby tilted his head, seeing the look on the girls face.
“Yeah… I guess I do know much about what you are talking about, but not as much as the Medium does.” Vin scratched at his head.

Lucien was quite for a moment as he took in the two little ones, thought on his girlfriends daughter and it started to more and more sink in that he was going to be a father. One of those things that while he had known it for a while now after his talk with the Medium it was sinking in slowly. He lifted his hand up to fiddle with the crystal, watching the way the yellow mist floated around his fingers.
"I have a question since both of you have been through this and I have been unable to meet up with the Medium again to ask her. Do you have any idea of the little ones can hear anything while they are still inside of the crystals?" He'd found himself at times talking to it and he the question had been plagueing him.

Metis was now more conscious that she had a mouth and something was in it and it wiggled aimlessly as she grew more aware of it. What disturbed the infant more was that she couldn't see what was in her own face! If she can't see inward then she should try to take it out to see if she can have a better look at it. Thus her upper right hand reached into her own mouth to try and catch her own tongue so that she may pull it out. Metis struggled a moment before she managed to catch the seemingly foreign object in her mouth with thumb and forefinger. The texture of the tongue was displeasing but she tried to pull anyhow. Soon the pulling hurt, but not enough to make her stop at the moment.
Blaed watched the spectacle, only partially listening to Lucien and Vin as they spoke. He wasn't going to stop her yet. Metis wouldn't learn anything if he stopped her at this point.
"I always talked to her, but I am not sure if she heard me or not when she was in the crystal." Blaed admitted to Lucien.

Vin raised an eyebrow. Watching the girl stick a hand into her mouth. Tilting his head slightly. Vin lifted up his own hand and stared at it. Thinking that it must be food... and taste good... since she was trying to eat it. Arranos swiftly stuck his fist into his mouth and drool began to dribble out.
Vin tilted his head,
"What... are you doing?" The elf whispered. Staring at Arranos sitting in his lap. The elf shifted his gaze up to the other child and raised his own eyebrow.
"Weird these guys are!" Vin manage to muffle over his hearty laugh.

It gladdened Lucien a bit to hear that, so he wasn't the only one that talked to the crystal. Good, good. He looked down at Nova, smiling some. That made him feel a bit less odd about talking to her while she was inside of the crystal until she came out. Course being able to have one of his questions answered made a multitude more spring to mind, "One other question, what was it like when they appeared before you?" Was it something flashy and bright or would it be a surprise?
He really hoped that he wasn't going to drive the two older men crazy but when he found someone that may know the answers he was seeking he couldn't help but ask them.

He laughed a bit and shrugged, "I was kinda asleep when it happened. Nothing flashy that I can recall, I just remember feeling this weight on my chest and when I didn't open my eyes the little tyke started pulling on my nose." Blaed reached up a hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose, but he seemed in good humor about the event as he was still laughing. The red haired man didn't seem to mind answering Lucien's questions, and in fact seemed glad to.
Metis stopped and stared at Arranos quietly and slowly removed her hand from her mouth and wiped her hand on her father's shirt so as to wipe away the slobber residue. Her tongue was still hanging out and she had forgotten about it, until she clamped her mouth shut and by doing that she bit her own tongue with her fangs. The girl went very tense and tears began to well up. That hurt more than the pulling!
Blaed had nodded in agreement to Vin about the children's currently strange behavior and even took Metis' wiping her own slobber on his shirt in stride and simply laughed it off before returning attention to Lucien and Vin. The red haired man looked down at his daughter and frowned while lifting her into his arms trying to soothe her before she could have the chance to wail at the indignity of it all.

Vin slipped his hand out of his mouth and made a slish sloshing sound. Trying to taste if anything was left from his hand. Looking up at his guardian. Arranos released a long yawn before falling back on his chest.
Vin looked down at the baby.
"Looks like some one is getting ready for a nap," Vin shrugged his shoulders. "It looks like I better be heading out. It was very nice meeting you two." Vin stood up and retrieved Arrranos and flung the towel over his shoulder.
"I hope we do get to meet again!" Vin smiled and trudged through the sand.
"Oh and the name is Vin and this little guy is Arranos!" Vin laughed, almost forgetting to introduce himself earlier. He turned his frail figure around and headed off again.

Lucien watched as the one called Vin and his son Arranos headed off giving them a wave, "I hope to see you again too." He called after their retreating forms his attention then went back to Blaed and Metis, "I thank you for answering my questions. I have been rather curious about somethings about Iridae."
And really he had no exact idea where the Medium lived having found her by accident the last time.
"I probably should be going too. I headed out for a walk only and ended up quite a ways from home." He said, pushing up to his feet, brushing off the sand with his hand and tail, "I hope that we get to meet up again too, maybe after Nova arrives she will be able to make friends with Metis."
He was hopeful that Nova did better by making friends then he himself did.

Blaed freed a hand and waved farewell to Vin and Arranos as they introduced themselves and then departed. He himself started to stand up since they all seemed to be getting ready to depart. Metis had long ago snuggled up to her father's chest and was sniffling and whimpering softly. He dropped his hand and brushed his fingertips over her hair as he looked back at Lucien with a smile.
"I think that'd be wonderful," he said in response to Lucien's offer, "and perhaps we can become friends through that as well." He sounded quite sincere as he said this. Blaed smiled lightly, "We will have to find a way to arrange such a thing. I am afraid I have no pen or paper otherwise I'd offer my address."
Metis quietly started to doze off as she listened to the voices of Blaed and Lucien talk.
It wasn't as if Blaed was really expecting to make any sort of acquaintances this day, "I was going out to get Metis exposed to the world outside," he replied to Lucien's comment as to why he was out. Surely the younger man didn't ask, but it seemed good to know about the other's motives.

Lucien's hands patted his pockets a moment before shaking his head, "Ah... no. Sorry I don't have anything on me either." He said, feeling a bit foolish for a moment then shook it off. No, he'd had no way of knowing that there would be a need for exchanging adressess so how would he have known that he would need to bring such things with him.
"Maybe we will be lucky and cross paths again?" He wasn't sure on whether or not hoping for such such would help or not but at the moment since they lacked the needed stuff to exchange infor it was all that they had. And he wanted to meet up with them again, especially after Nova arrived.

The man grinned and shook his head, "No worries, we will meet up again. I like to roam quite a bit and I can be found just about anywhere." Blaed replied. Obviously it was his way of telling the other not to feel foolish or too badly. He seemed very confident about being able to meet up with the younger man.
"I am sure the Fates will see to it that we meet again," he nodded sagely, "and I will make sure that I at least have some business cards made or something to hand off to you." Blaed smirked.
Looking up at the sky a moment he squinted a little as if trying to determine something and then looked back down at Lucien, "T's getting late, my friend, and so I shall take leave now. You take care of yourself and your little one. I am sure she will be here soon." His arms were currently busy holding onto Metis and he dared not move them for fear of waking her, "I'd wave or bow, but I am sure you understand I am a little tied up." He chuckled and then simply nodded, "Good day to you, Lucien. It has been a good meeting."
With that he turned his body in the direction he figured home was and began to walk.

Lucien watched as Blaed and Metis headed off not long after Vin and Arranos and he stretched out all over before looking down at the sixwinged crystal, "Alright. I guess its time to head for home ourselves." He would hope that everything going on at home would have calmed down by now. It would be nice then he would be able to finally relax and not worry about what he was going to be asked next about his soon to arrive daughter.
