((sorry for the delay!))
D continued to cradle and cuddle his little, tribal marked, painted son. The wolf boy was settling in his arms, finally, though his gaze continued to drift back and forth between Ashoka's red wand, and the previously drooled upon sword.
It wasn't so much that he wantd them for any purpose, but they felt nice to be around. Cuddling his own little wand, the wolf nibbled upon the moon-like orb that sat upon the top. His fingers reached and groped at the soft fur that wrapped around beneath it, somehow managing to not yank it free.
D suspected there was some sort of magic involved in keeping the wand all in one piece. For with how rough Faolan could be, any other 'wand' might very well be broken, or at the very least the fur should have been ripped out.
The pink haired man didn't know what to say to Todd, so he decided to focus his attention on Ashoka. Not only was the boy with the sword-wand a bit too agresive and snarky for the ravers taste, he was simply rude. And D didn't like that quality in the least!
"Faolan here," he introduced, "is a bit much to handle. I mean, he's sweet and affectionate, and can do the most adorable things. . . but he's a bit protective of what he thinks is his, and isn't very subtle when throwing tantrums."
The wolf boy kept his ears twitching - one to face Ashoka, the other swiveled to listen to the jibberish that came out of D's mouth. Eyes bright, and his tear stained face drying, the boy really wasn't that awful to be around when his mouth was shut.
His little tail wagged happily, swishing back and forth underneath D's arms, as if the boy were agreeing.
"Grwawr!" He exclaimed, taking his free hand and making a grabby motion at Ashoka.
D tried not to roll his eyes. They did not need to go through another wand-attack again. Ignoring him, D finally glanced over at Todd. "A vampire you said? I don't know what to think. It's a war of nature versus nurture, I think, so his personality is probably going to depend on his upbringing."
"I'm D, by the way," the pink haired man finally remembered his manners. Better get the introductions out of the way so they weren't staring dumbly at each other later on.

So D thought he was rude. Whatever. A lot of people couldn't handle Todd's particular brand of snark. It was probably a holdover the story that had created him- something about a mass murderer barber. Not that Todd knew any of this. He just did what he felt like, which was mostly pissing people off.
"Well, I'm Todd. Pleased to meetcha'," he said, a little bit sarcastically. It was a bit late for introductions at this point, but why not?
"And it's a sie-aww-nick vampire," he drawled, carefully pronouncing the strange word. Psionic. Not a part of his normal vocabulary. "So it eats energy instead of blood."
"And if Tayor's in charge of his upbringing, then we'll have a wimpy bookworm vampire to deal with," he added. "Your werewolf sounds way more fun. So what's that one going to turn into?" He pointed towards Ashoka's gleaming red wand.

((My turn to apologize for the really long delay. ^^;; ))
The introduction from both D and Todd prompted Ashoka to do so as well. At first he was tempted to outstretch a hand for a shake but, realizing that D's hands were probably to full at the time, and not really wanting to risk losing fingers to the kid with the sword, he opted for otherwise. This "otherwise" was to scratch a spot on his neck, and smile nervously. "Ashoka - ah, I'm Ashoka. Philips, if you need a last name. It's my mother's last name, but it's on all my papers." He shrugged, and his smile quirked a bit truer. "Just 'Shoka is fine, though."
However, at Todd's question towards the red wand, Ashoka had to frown. He held it a bit closer, so that the fish bones jangled against the scales. "A Zora." The lines in his forehead deeped with another frown, this one thoughtful. "My sister says it's a fish... creature of some sort. But she's not really reliable, so..." The inflection on the last note implied the 'I'm not really sure' that he was too stubborn to admit in the public face of strangers.

"Huh. Never heard of it." Todd muttered, leaning forward to squint at the shiny wand. "What are you gonna have to do, keep it in a bathtub? That sucks. Unless mebbe she's wrong." He'd picked up Ashoka's lack of confidence about the species.
"Hey, you got a skeleton on there?" That prompted another, closer look. "That's briliant! Mebbe your thing kills stuff too! Like this one's all bloody. sooo... it's probably dangerous."
Which, in Todd's eyes, was a good thing.

((Apologies! Didn't see that everyone responded. x3 ))
D stared at the two with wands. Ashoka seemed nice enough, if a little nervous and unsure, and Todd . . .well. . maybe it would be better if he just kept his thoughts about him himself. An interesting sort, but not the type he'd want Faolan around for any length of time.
The blue eyed man stayed quiet as he listened to the exchange. So, the new one didn't know what a Zora was? Well. . . it wasn't as if he knew what it was either! In fact, he'd never heard of the creature before. What was it? A poisenous fish. . .?
Interesting. VERY interesting.
As Todd spoke of his bloody wand, D took a second glance at the sword. Blood was indeed stained on the blade . . . but if it were a vampire, then that made sense, didn't it? Oh dear.
He hugged his baby close, offering the squirming thing a kiss on his hair. Faolan settled a bit, almost giving up on desiring one of the others wands. He had his own, sure, but the others were very interesting! Todd's had tasted pretty good. . . maybe Ashoka's would too?
"Grawr~!!!" He growled softly, flicking his ears a bit.
D ignored him. "If you're not sure, there are always books to be found. The library here had quite the extensive collection, and Ianna seemed quite knowledgable about a variety of species. You could always talk to her," he suggested softly with a shrug of his shoulders.
Thankfully, werewolves had been around for a great length of time and weren't some obscure species. How crazy would that be, trying to raise a baby whom you knew almost nothing about?
D was lucky. A werewolf was difficult enough to handle, much less a poisenous fish or vampire.
Todd would have to beware bite marks.

Okay, so Ashoka was about as opaque as saran wrap, and just about as sturdy. As he listen carefully to what Todd said he crumpled a bit, his shoulders slumping at the mention of how dangerous a Zora just-might-be. "I-I'd hope not, that wouldn't be good... at... all." He shifted his arms slightly, so that the fish skeleton jangled against the scales again, almost mockingly. Ashoka repressed a shiver. So the skeleton disturbed him just as the not-knowing did. And if-
-Dang it, he was not going to be manipulated by a kid.
Deciding it best to divert the conversation, Ashoka smiled wearily at D and ran his free hand through his hair (which was getting longer than he normally kept it, as he'd been so wrapped up in this mess he hadn't taken the time to get it cut). "I've been looking through books, I guess just not the right ones." At the other man's suggestion Ashoka pressed his lips together tightly. "I suppose that would be the next thing I do. Although, she'll be wrapped in all of this," he gestured mildly at their surroundings, "won't she?" And his mother wanted to talk to him sometime within the next week, which left him with distinct time restraints. "If I don't find anything soon, I suppose."
But he was getting really uncomfortable on this subject. He shifted his feet nervously and ran a hand through his hair again. "So..."

The little British boy certainly had a talent for messing with people's heads. He'd have to remember that for the future.
At the very least, he might be able to shove the future-vampire around.
"Taylor's been reading a lot of stuff," he offered, as the book topic came up. "I dunno if she's got anything useful or not, but... that seems to be the prefered method of finding out s**t."
"Hey, don't worry," he added to Ashoka, seeing his reaction. He hadn't realized he'd creeped the guy out that much. "If it starts out as a kid you can train it, right? Then you could have this big dangerous thing to do your bidding. That'd be briliant!"
The rest of the conversation left him with a slight frown. "Who are you people talking about? Who's Ianna?"
Dammit, he didn't like being left out of anything!
