Welcome to Gaia! ::

Michael gave her a big thumbs up and nodded. "Yeah! I like cookies!" He was obviously having his toddler ego pet nice and smooth. He rolled his shoulders back to try and look tough. "It is what friends do." He offered, and stood to his feet on the Merry-Go-Round. He walked towards the edge and slid off so he didn't fall and turned to look at her.

Delilah smiled and walked over to the edge and hopped off, landing on her feet. Before she could offer something else to do, she heard her name being called out. Her eyes directed the attention of the voice when something ran into her, and knocked her down. She let out a squeak as she hit the floor and began to whine as she struggled to get free of the brightly-colored toddler now on top of her.

"YouplayingallthistimewithaBOOOOOOOOOOOOOY?!" she screamed out in curiosity. Her big yellow eyes, inches from Delilah's face. "YoushouldaseenthelookonAndy'sface!!!!" she exclaimed and that began to laugh, still holding Delilah down.

"N-noooo, leave me a-alone, Kiraaaaa~" she whined, still fidgeting under Kira's grasp. Delilah began to become frustrated as parts of her skin began to turn black.

"Ahh! It'stheblackstuff!!!" she screamed and took off running, relieving Delilah.

Andy trudged up, out of breath. "Girls! It's time to go home!" she called out to them. Kira responded immediately.

Delilah frowned, walking over to Roosevelt and picked him up then walked back over to Michael. "I gotta go.." she spoke softly as though she really didn't want to leave.

Michael was going to defend her, but Kira ran off and then Andy ruined their fun. He crossed his arms and got all pouty, but waved at her. "Alright...I'll see you again. That's my daddy. " He pointed at Karitzu who looked over at the kids, interested.

Michael was interested to understand what the black stuff was, but he'd find out next time he talked to her and then they could play legos. Michael waved goodbye.

"Bye Bye Lilah!." He trudged off to his daddy and reached his arms up. Karitzu leaned forward and sat him in his lap.

"My you got quite dirty with your new friend. Delilah was her name? I'll see about setting up a play-date at the estate." Michael beamed up at Karitzu as he was talking, and bounced happily, but tiredly as he'd tuckered himself out.

Karitzu took Michael back to the car as it pulled up. He'd called for it a little bit ago as the girls were coming back. They'd been out here for quite some time. He placed Michael down in the car-seat and then sat in next to him. The black sedan rolled off into the distance and Michael tried to stare out the window at Delilah until she disappeared into the distance.

Delilah nodded and waved at Michael as he ran off to his daddy. She walked towards Andy as she reached down to hold the toddler's hand. Kira had already begun running off ahead. Andy looked over to Karitzu and gave a polite wave before walking off with toddlers in hand.

Taddeo waved to the three of them to show he'd heard their introductions. He shifted so he was sitting crosslegged and leaned his elbow on a knee then rested his face in his palm and considered the three toddlers before him.

Bedovier and Clementine were dressed up very fancily. They spoke very concisely. and Kenny was a little more uninhibited and still working out his grammar. Not that Taddeo had perfect grammar or punctuation, especially since he had to contend with learning both English and Italian at home.

Slowly he reached out with his free hand and turned the coloring book towards the others and started turning the pages to the completed pictures. Absently he tilted his head a bit more into his hand to listen for his Chef Knife's oppinion of the three children. Chef luckily for them didn't really have anything to add, yet. They'd done nothing to irritate Taddeo.
