Amyla had to agree with that. She relaxed back in her chair, giving a happy sigh as she watched Yana out of the corner of her eye. The girl had stopped sulking and was halfway paying attention, looking back and forth between the two women. Perhaps she was working on reading lips. Amyla prayed it was so. "He's lucky to have an older sibling to learn from," she added, watching Mistalina and her little boy. He was a lucky child indeed; she'd often wished for a sibling herself.

"Shidiomi just gets mad that he has to go to school now, and he can't stay at home with Nymue during the day." Mistalina giggled a bit and shifted on the couch to settle herself better.

"Ahhh.... that sounds familiar!" Amyla chuckled, gesturing with a hand in Yana's direction. "Yana isn't thrilled about going to school either!"
Yana backed up her mother's statement with a fervent nod. "Haaaaaate schoooool!" she said, making a wry face. She hated being picked on and having to do homework. It was terrible.

The black haired tiefling smiled again. "Shidiomi is usually quite good in school, but lately he's been distracted." She noticed Nymue had gotten quiet and glanced down to find him asleep. "Awh...he's finally asleep."

Amyla resisted the urge to coo at the sleeping child, but she did have to smile. He was so adorable. All babies were when they slept. They looked so innocent and peaceful. "Distracted because he wants to be home with his baby brother?" she asked, lowering her voice a few decibels to make sure she didn't wake Nymue up.

"Mhm. He loves playing with Nymue when he's at home...so does Demetrius...it's quite cute actually." Mistalina smoothed Nymue's ever messy hair again.

"That's good to hear, that he loves his little brother so much," Amyla said, a faintly wistful smile on her face. If only her own children all got along so well, she'd be a perfectly happy woman. Then again, if they were that peaceful, they wouldn't be her kids. She enjoyed the chaos and fighting on occasion. But at some moments, like this one, she wished they all played together. "Who is Demetrius?" she inquired suddenly, the name not ringing any mental bells.

"Oh, yes, you haven't met him yet. He's a persacom I bought, to help me with the children and other things around the house." Mistalina coddled the little boy against her. She wouldn't be able to stay too much longer, she needed to get Nymue home and into his basinet and tend to other things.

Persacom? That was a term that Amyla was unfamiliar with, and her brow furrowed lightly as she tried to match a mental file with the word.
Yana beat her to the punch in asking, though. "Whaa's a perrrrrssacommm?" the girl inquired, annunciating as best she could. That particular word was not one she knew, in sign or in speech.

"A robot, sort of...but he's built smart enough to learn lots of new things. So, he's a little childish and sort of shy sometimes, but he's learned a lot since I activated him. They made him quite handsome too." An awkward sort of smile crossed Mistalina's features then.

Yana processed the word 'robot' and let the issue rest there. She knew about robot people; she had one for a sibling, after all.
Amyla nodded, a sly grin creeping its way across her face. "I see. He sounds like an interesting companion. I think I'm happy with my mate, though, even if he is a bit snarly at times."

Mistalina blushed faintly. The persacom's company delighted her. As much as she loved her two young boys, having someone that at least looked closer to her own age made her feel a little better. Besides, her sons needed a male influence in their life, real or artificial.
"Ah...it's getting late.." She frowned a little, having glanced out the window. "I should be getting home."

Amyla decided to be polite and ignore Mistalina's faint blush. Obviously that was a sensitive topic, so she opted to leave it be. At the reference to it getting late, Amyla herself glanced out the window, her eyes suddenly growing wide. "Oh, it is late! Eowyn should be getting home about now," she said, muttering the last part more to herself.
Sensing that she would be heading home soon, Yana subtly stretched, glancing back and forth between her mother and Mistalina.

Mistalina carefully got to her feet and resettled the sleeping infant in her arms. "It's nice to have seen you again Amyla, Yana." She smiled softly and padded toward the door.

"And you as well, Mistalina," Amyla said kindly, turning to gesture to her daughter that they were leaving. To her surprise, Yana was already up and moving toward the door, though, and Amyla had to jog a bit to catch up with the child. Goodness... the child could move when she wanted to!
