David shrugged, "I'm sorry, but I really don't know...trust me, I wish I did..."
Indari gave a pained howl and beat harder, tears pouring down her angry little face now.
"UWAWAWAAAARGH!!" She screamed.

Dumping the grocery bags haphazardly on the kitchen bunch, Cyn breathed a sigh of relief at the reprieve she was being given from the monsters that had invaded her home; the peaceful moment shattered as a piercing cry issued from downstairs. “What the ********?” the woman muttered irritably, slamming the door sharply as she headed back to the lobby.
Unimpressed with the lack of answer she received, Amelia huffed and headed inside; caring little about whether the door hit David on this way through.
Continuing to squawk and screech in equal volume with Indari, the winged infant leant forward and added his balled fists to the fray of kicking limbs. Chestnut eyes narrowed themselves into a glare of anger and annoyance; mind stuck on the notion of ‘she had started this, but he was going to finish it’.

David was trying his very best to ignore the screaming children, but it was become near impossible as they began attacking each other, quite violently for children.
"Hey! Hey! Cut that out!" David cried, trying to seperate them as best he could. That proved impossible at best, also.
Indari howled in pain as one of the pheonix child's fists came in contact with her arm. She screamed and sobbed and lashed back out at him.

Finally, in spite of his attempts to the contrary, Pyrrhus broke into a flurry of tears; Indari’s feet and hands impacting with the softer parts of his body. Echoing the girl’s screams, the boy continued to fight back; cries ending in a startled wail as Pyrrhus was seized and lifted sharply from behind.
“I don’t know if you aware of this” Cyn hissed condescendingly, “but they don’t understand s**t at this age, although I would have thought even the most moronic would know that – but I guess not”
Rolling her eyes and shaking her head, unable to believe that someone could be so ignorant, Cyn turned to head inside; catching a glimpse of the triplets at they headed toward the elevator. “Are you coming? Or are you happy to stand around looking like an idiot?” the woman posed, tapping her foot impatiently.
Now in his mother’s arms, Pyrrhus continued to sniffle; chestnut eyes casting glares in Indari’s direction.

David held Indari close and rocked her gently, looking apologetic. "I'm sorry...I didn't know what to do..." He shrugged and pet Indari's back gently, trying to get her to calm down.
Indari wasn't giving up. She screamed and screamed, tears pouring down her chubby little face.

“It’s not rocket science” Cyn retorted, releasing the door and heading down the corridor. Reaching the elevator just as the door hissed shut, sealing the amused triplets inside, the woman growled and slammed an open palm into the metallic doors. “******** monsters” she seethed, now doomed to spend several more minutes with the clueless male; even longer if the trio insisted on pressing every button on the display.
After a moment of extended silence, Cyn gruffly uttered – “Why are you raising a child? What are you, like twelve?”. With the continuation of Indari’s screams, the ghouls jaw tightened in withheld frustration. If the child didn’t shut her trap shortly of her own will, Cyn would do it for her.
Aware of his guardian’s predisposition toward crying, Pyrrhus continued to regard Indari with narrowed eyes. The girl was certainly a drama queen, but there was a limit on how far one should take it.

David huffed a little again, bundling Indari up and watching the elevator with only vague interest. Today had been far too long. A long day stretched out with a rolling pin, then pounded with a tenderiser.
"Fourteen," David mumbled, "And I didn't choose this...she just kind of...showed up."
Indari's wailed subsided into pituful whimpering, as though whispering in David's ear the torture she had endured at the hands of the pheonix boy.

“Sounds familiar” Cyn muttered darkly, narrowing her eyes and huffing to herself. The triplets had turned up under similar circumstances, and the woman was still struggling to cope with their arrival. With Indari’s wailing quietening, Cyn allowed her jaw to unclench; moving the muscle and bone in a slow circle to unstiffen them. “Fourteen” the ghoul uttered, sounding part way between disgust and suspicion, “why the ******** are you living here, not with your parents and s**t?”
Grunting, as if to express his loathing of Indari’s whimpering, Pyrrhus continued to glower toward the other infant. She had given as good as she had gotten, and the phoenix child wasn’t about to think otherwise.

David winced away a little.
The sensitive spot was hit, and the day went from long, to difficult.
"They...died." He whispered, hefting Indari higher into his arms. "A while ago...I've been living here alone since."
Sensing sensitivity, Indari quietened more and shufled closer to David. For comfort?

If David had been expecting Cyn to suddenly reveal a softer, gentler side at his revelation, then he was to be sorely mistaken. “And?” the woman questioned, quirking brow and shifting Pyrrhus to her other hip. “Oh wait, let me guess, you’re one of those people who cared about their parents or had their parents care about them – right?” Cyn continued, scoffing as if the notion were ludicrous.
Ignoring Indari and her rapidly changing emotions, Pyrrhus clung loosely to his mother’s clothing; the child silently wondering when they would be rid of the drama queen infant.

David nodded a little, eyes shimmering. He wasn't going to cry, not now. He'd shed as many tears as he had to spare for his parents already.
"Yeah, kinda," He mumbled, looking away.
Indari gurgled sympatheticly and pawed at David with her tiny fingers.

“Yeah kinda? Cryptic much?” Cyn mumbled angrily, squaring her shoulders and stomping into the elevator as it returned to the ground floor. The triplets were no where in site, although the ghoul hadn’t suspected they would be. Pressing the button for the third floor, Cyn idly held to door and shot David an impatient look; one that said if he were coming, he should best hurry up.
“You’re not going to cry are you?” Cyn asked with disgust, narrowing her eyes at the boy. She didn’t do crying, never had and never would.

David shook his head and wiped his eyes, jogging up to the elevator, Indari bouncing in his arms. "Do they do this often?" He asked, looking at Indari as though hoping she wouldn't be the same.
Indari stuffed a fist into her mouth and closed her eyes, pleased with herself.

Cyn shook her head, allowing the doors to close and waiting for David to choose his floor. “Their usually worse” the woman grumbled in response, curling her upper lip at the words, “much, much worse”. Despite the manner in which her words were delivered, there was little doubt that the ghoul wasn’t exaggerating; and in time David would probably come to realise that for himself.
Smirking as she noticed the look that teenager directed toward Indari, Cyn drawled amusedly – “Judging from her earlier ‘episode’, I expect you’re going to have some issues with her”

David hefted Indari higher into his arms, a look of worry coming across his face.
Indari whined grumpily and curled into him further. Tired. Now. Home, NOW! "Maaaaah..."
David reached out a pale, weak hand, and punched in the top floor, dropping his hand to his side and shutting his eyes at the exertion.
