Well, it looks like they wouldn't be needing the water. Good. He'd feel kinda bad splashing her in the face with it. She was starting to come back into reality, but he didn't know how she would react to the fact that Deimos had brought Cato over so now the little spider baby was a lot closer. Still... He didn't say anything considering the fact that she was going to have to get over this fear real quick if she was going to take care of the particular baby she'd adopted from his own adoption home. It seemed she didn't know what a Drider was and this seems to have been something she should have asked about. He could only hope that would work out... On the other hand he also wanted her to get along with the baby that he had adopted. He didn't expect her not to be scared, but he hoped she didn't go and pass out again. "You're in the playground in the Magical Mishaps HQ." He had simply thought she'd accidentally said the wrong word.
The wing tip slipped out of his mouth and he whined softly as it did, grumbling a soft, "Mahh..." But he didn't go after it again. It was near by so it was fine. Now he was looking over at the new people, now that they were a lot closer. He blinked at Nariko for a moment. Her hair was pretty. And promptly he took hold of it, giving it a good yank with a happy, "Mah!"

".. It's also the begining of November of the year 2005." She said, incase she didn't misword it.
Nariko's eyes flared as her hair was pulled, she didn't yelp, she didn't cry, or she didn't sniffle. She got even. Whipping about in circular motion, one arm around Aphrodite's bubble. She smacked Cato on the top of his head with a might balled up hand. "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She screamed almost like a war cry.
Aphrodite blinked, covering her ears.
Garreth blinked as well, furrowing his brow with worry. "Pweaase.." He squeeked. "Don't fiiight.."

"2005.. 2005" SHe siad mulling over the number in her head and sighed.. "I.. I sorry." She said, taking deep breaths. SHe glanced over at Deimos and at the sight of Cato her pulse and breaht quickened, but she didn't pass out. SHe held a hand to her forehead and averted her eyes. "I.. I have.. an irrational spider phobia." Irrational my foot, she had plenty of reason to be terrified of the things.
Deimos hid a snigger. 'You don't yank at people, spiderkid. Youd eserved that smack." He said, bouncing the babe up and down slightly.

"AHHHHHH!!!!!!" The two little arms at his back took hold of Deimos' cloak so he wouldn't fall, ignored the bouncing, and leaned forward. The war for who would retain ownership of Nariko's pretty hair! All four of his main arms flailed outward and clapped her over the head in turn before cuddling back against Deimos.
"Huh? Oh, no... Not again..." He decided that Catherine had a good hold on the situation so he was going to handle the kids. He'd quickly learned that Cato didn't back down so leaving him for Deimos to handle was probably not going to go well. "Cato, no! You can't have Nariko's hair! I know it's pretty but it's not yours!"

A whimper left her lips as she then used her free hand to slep Cato's cheek. "AAAAHHH!!!" She screamed and then retracted, cuddling the ball that held Aphrodite. "Sissssis..." She said quietly, almost reassuringly.
Aphrodite looked up at Nariko and blinked at her, waving a bit with a small smile.
Catherine blinked and hugged Jizzy tightly. "It's ok to be afraid, but Cato's not a spider... He's a mishap." She smiled. Lifting up the bottle of water. "Here drink, calm down. " She helped her sit up. "I know I can't ask you to get over your fears, but at least I can tell you we'll be here when you face them."
"Mama..." He tugged lightly on his shirt. "Nari and the other baby are fighting..."
"I.. know."

"Cato?" SHe almsot whimpered as she spotted him. She was right.. he he was a mishap, nto a spider, that didn;t stop her from beignscared though. "I.. Could we go sit in the terrace?' She asked, mroe like begged. She coujldn't overcome her fear this quickly, not yet.
Deimos released Cato onto the floor, prying him from his cloak. "Gods, don't tug that either!!! You're hurting people!" He said, much more angrier than he had inteded.

"AHH!" He yelped as he was hit again, tears welling up in all four of his odd eyes. "A-AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" He started to cry as he leaned over again, once again clinging to Deimos' cape-like wings. Once again he flailed all four of his arms at Nariko, but only connected half of the attacks as he was scooped up by his adoptive father.
"Cato! No!" He gently lefted the baby away from Deimos with one arm as he forced Cato's little fingers to let go of Deimos' poor wings. "Cato you can't go and take everything you see! Things don't work like that! You have to stop!"
This of course was all gibberish to the spider-baby and he had started to cry at the top of his little lungs. He wanted his things! Why was this guy always taking his things away?! They were his! This wasn't fair! Not fair at all!! Now he had resorted to slapping around Salem.
This was quickly nulled as Salem brought up one of his large hands and caught each of Cato's little ones until all four were in his grasp. "No. No Cato." He said softly but firmly.

Catherine gave her a weary smile. "Of course, Come on.." She stood helping Jizzy to her feet and leading her away to the terrence.
Garreth blinked a bit torn between staying and going with his mother. seeing how things were turning out he decided the latter. Bounding after Catherine and Jizzy. "Come on Wagon! This way." And with those words the red wagon followed.
Aphrodite peeked between Nariko's arms. "Mama.." She said lifting her self up in flight and following, landing inside the wagon.
"Sissisis." Nariko blinked and then crawled onto Deimos's lap. "Daay."

Jizzy took a shaky seat at the terrace. SHe was still trembling. "I'm so sorry I just.." SHe was taking deep breaths. 'It's hard for me..." She whispered.
Deimos felt the small babe crawl up to him and he fingered her hair as he watched Aphrodite fly away. "Is Smalls still sick, Nari?" He asked.

The babe was still crying at the top of his lungs, tears streaming down his face. This wasn't fair! No fair! No fair!! NO FAIR!!! He struggled to get his little hands loose and found that he couldn't get them to budge.
Salem just looked down at the spider-baby and calmly spoke to him, unphased by the loud crying. "Crying like this isn't going to get you anything Cato. You have your own things and toys. You can't have everyone elses. Everything isn't yours."
Slowly, very slowly, the crying died down to a whimper as he looked up at his adoptive father, sniffling. This wasn't fair... "Mah..." He quietly whimpered, "Mahh..."
Salem shook his head, "No. Not yours." He let go of the baby's hands now that he had stopped flailing and pointed down at Deimos. "Those pretty wings belong to Dei. That pretty hair belongs to Nari. Understand?"
"Mah...?" He looked up at Salem confused. But... Those were his...
"No, Cato. Not yours. These are yours." He gently squeezed each of the childs hands. "And this is yours." He ran his hand through the babe's hair soothingly. "And this!" He leaned in and blew onto the baby's tummy!
Cato flailed his little arms in a wild fit of giggles, trying to get him away from his ticklish tummy. "Eeeeehehehehehehehehe!!!"
Salem stopped and smiled, releived to find a smile reflected back at him. He so hated when Cato wasn't happy, but he couldn't exactly let him try and claim everything in sight either.

Water bottle still in hand, she offered it once more to her. ".. It's ok." She offered her a hopeful smile. "Baby steps I suppose... sometimes you gotta be strong, but that takes time and I understand."
Garreth came to a halt, watching his mother and Jizzy talk. He looked over his shoulder spotting Aphrodite, comming closer he nudged his mother a bit. "Mama.. can you take the bubble off?"
She blinked looking at Garreth. "Why?"
"I think she wants a cuddles."
"Oh.." Catherine stood for a moment spotting where Aphrodite had landed. With a simple wave, she dismissed the bubble it's magic gone. Bending over she picked up the tiny tired babe. Holding her gently to her chest, she took her seat once more.
Garreth sat next to her on the floor, his head now rested in his mother's lap.
A litle yawn and a smile appeared on her lips. She nuzzled a bit and stared around, looking a bit.. bored.
Nariko nodded quietly. "Sissisisississs... day" And then waved her arms about as though to explain what was wrong, though it was hard to decifer.

Jizzy took the water thankfully and began to drink, a lot. The shaking was slowing and she was beggining to calm. "Thank you.." She said after she'd had a good 3/4th of the water. "I..I've always been... scared of spiders." She said. "I..I'll try to overcome it though... I want to eb a good example to Dei.. and the new child.." SHe said nodding.
Deimos nodded as if he understood Nariko, when he didn't, not really. He stood though, still carrying Nariko. He looked at the laughing Cato and began to make his way back to his mother, and Aphrodite. "You think i could help her feel better, Nari?"

Catherine held aphrodite close with one hand and petted the top of Garreth's head with the other. " Don't worry about alright?" Her smiled was genuine, but she was worried about how Jizzy was going to handle Talqaulyn.
Aphrodite waved at Jizzy a bit, more so to say hi. "Jiji"
Nariko clung to Deimos's shirt, sighing, looking up at him as he spoke. She shrugged in response, it meant maybe.

Jizzy nodded and chugged down the rest of the bottle of water, her fear slowly subsiding. "Right.." She said, a weak smile creasing her lips. "So.. How has Aphrodite been doing? Is she any better?"
Deimos took a seat at the table, craddling Nariko in his arms. He was wondeirng if Aphrodite was alright as well, so he looked to Catherin for an answer.

Salem bit his lower lip as he watched the others walk away, leaving him along. Well... That hadn't gone well... He sighed, walking back to the swings and putting the baby in one. Coming around behind he gently started to push him so he swung just a little. He didn't want to scare the living daylights out of Jizzy again so he didn't think he should go over there with the baby. At the same time he couldn't just leave the baby all on his own so here he would stay.
Cato blinked all four odd eyes up at the catman curiously, not understanding why they were here... Again... But smiled as he began to swing back and forth. This was kinda fun!
