Ein let out a shriek when the nails pierced through her skin. Flailing her arms and screaming (but still holding on) she was scowling, her snake hissing and her eyes blinking furiously as she tried to figure out why she was in so much pain. How could someone want to hold her hand and then cause her so much paaaaiin?
Silver looked down, alarmed. At first, she wasn't able to tell what was wrong. They were holding hands! Don't tell me that Ein's scared of holding hands? When it finally hit her, Silver had to control a little snort.
"Ein." she said, wrapping the hands away. Ein blinked as she loosened her grip. Shaking her head, she stared. Oh, they were only pinching! And it wasn't Otieno's fault-- he had nails. She was sure if she had nails she'd be like that too.
Beaming again just as quickly, she nodded her head. Yes. Yes, she understood eveeerything.
"Scared? Of something?" Silver smirked. "I can see him scared because he's a baby. But... he's a very formidable baby."
Ananchel shrugged. "Ein is as well." she said a little bit defensibly.
Because Silver had a chance to retort, she pointed. "Meatballs!"

Otieno forced himself to look at Ein and he winced as he noticed her expression. Yeah, she understood now ! He growled slightly as Andraste and Silver partened their hands, but still he was content. She understood now.
The boy sighed and closed his eyes for a second, before opening them again. This girl was puzzling, why was she smiling again ?
"Eiiin." He demanded as Andraste answered to Silver's question. "Oh yeah, very scared. He hates us to switch off the lights. But otherwise he's not so easily scared."
As the meatballs came closer Otieno sniffed and his face lightened up. Food ! Andraste picked one of them and shoved them into the baby's mouth. At once he started to much happily.

Silver laughed. Hey, she liked the way Andraste fed her kid! Picking one up on a fork and cutting off the excess sauce, she lifted it towards Ein's face. At first, she stared at it with some disgust-- eew, meat rolled up like that? What sort of animal was round and bumpy? Eew! But at the sight of Otieno eating quite happily, (and deciding that if it was poisonous, he would have died already) she reached for it, licking at the edges.
Hmmm... it was tasty!
Bouncing up and down, she wiggled, waving her arm to get the boy's attention and point to the food. Look, it was tasty! And biiig. She liked _this_. And she wanted everyone to know.
"Light, is it?" Deciding that Ein was too distracted to care, Silver shared. "Ein's scared of solitude. I think she'll grow out of it eventually, but she always needs... companionship. Makes me wonder what it was that happened before that led to this." she only knew vaguely why Ein had been a criminal. It was something she didn't like to think about. (What if Ein had been a blood thirsty rapist?! And living in her new house....) but that didn't mean she didn't want to know about everyone else.
"If you don't mind me asking." she said, knowing it was the proper way to start a nosy sentence. "Why, was..." she tilted her head and raised a brow.
Ananchel picked up the glass of milk and waved it in front of Silver's face. Maybe this would shut her up.

Otieno grinned and revealed some pieces of meat on his teeth while doing so. Ein seemed nicer now that she enjoyed the balls just as he did. One of his hands tried to reach another one of the delicious pieces. "Eeet." He demanded and Andraste's hand quickly gave him what he desired for.
Laughing he looked at it and turned his eyes to Ein, to see if she noticed how to eat this meal properly.
"I guess this habit will become exhausting when she grows. Imagine a clingy teen." Andraste continued to feed her little monster and suddenly realized that one of her own children wasn't too far away from teenage hood. Oh no...She quickly shoved the thought away into a corner of her mind.
"Why was what ?" That was one of those baaad sentences which weren't finished. But Andraste really enjoyed the conversation and even if something inpolite was going to follow, she didn't care.

Ein stared, and laughed. Look, he had food stuck all over his teeth! Rubbing her own teeth with her finger to show him, her eyes narrowed with delight. Huh. So you were supposed to bite it too? Wondering if this was something like the table, (something only people with fangs could do) she nibbled thoughtfully.
... Oh, she liked this!!
With sauce smeared on her lips, she beamed.
"Teen?" Silver blanched. "I'm having trouble figuring out how I'm supposed to send her to kindergarten. Do you think maybe they'll send us a parenthood bible to follow soon?" she paused, thoughtful. Hmmm... that would work!
"Why was Otieno turned into a child again?" Ananchel asked bluntly for her, interrupting their conversation.
Silver nodded, and drank her milk. Caclium. Ugh.

Otieno watched the girl rubbing her own teeth and imitated her quickly. That was a funny feeling and it made some meat drop onto his tongue. He started to rub faster, but accidently his finger slipped out of his mouth and went right into his nose.
Stupid baby actions ! Otieno tried to pull it out as quickly as possible.
Andraste shrugged. "I hope so, but I doubt that it'll work for our kind of children anyway." With a slight hint of disgust the woman shoved another meatball towards the boy's feet. At least he was occupied, he could take a bath at home.
As she heard Ananchel's question Andraste frowned slightly. She hated the whole criminal business. "No clue...Ranjit, his 'father', mumbled something about disturbing the peace or so. He was only wearing a loin cloth when he arrived, I've been told." Thinking about the question she eyed Ein again.
"So do you have some more information about Ein ?"

"ppfftth." Ein spluttered, and quickly tried to clean up her face of the extra food particles. Messy food! Trying to get out of her mouth all but itself... giggling, she pointed.
Otieno was a nose picker!
Silver shook her head. With a frown in Ananchel's direction, she said. "Not really. I mean, Ananchel's seen a photo of her before, but..." she stopped. Wait. Maybe this wasn't the kind of conversation you were supposed to have with strangers? "Ananchel dealt with most of it. I didn't want to find out more about it, because... well. I think I sleep better not knowing if Ein was a gigantic axe murdering rapist from another world."
Frank. She had to get it out. And find out if someone else agreed with her, because Ananchel only thought that she was crazy.

Otieno grabbed the meatball which was lying in front of him and laughed at Ein's expression. Did she want another one ? For sure. Although he wasn't strong Otieno managed to throw the small meatball in the girl's direction.
Andraste's eyes trailed towards Ananchel. Seemed like she was the good and serious person then, like Ranjit. Perhaps Silver was a bit like herself ?
"Yeah, I'm not really fond of knowing what he did or how strange he was regarding how strange he still is." She grinned a bit to ease herself and continued. "Well, don't worry though, I'm a bodyguard, I could protect you. I guess."
With a growl she hit Otieno's small hand slightly. It wasn't much of a hit, just a pat. "We don't throw with the food !"

Ein blinked, seeing the flying food and with a slight squeak, flung her arms open. Eeeee!! Slightly stupefied, but managing to catch, she held it tight to her chest, ignoring the fact that...
Oooh. Did she have food down her clothing now? Curious, she made sure Silver had missed that, and hunching juuust slightly, began to chew. She'd wait until it was all dry and gross before telling Silver that she had food down her front.
With a noise rolled around the food in pleasure, she nodded her head. Thank yew! She would have said.
Ananchel blinked, catching the smudge, and shrugged. Well. It wasn't as if she did the washing anyways. What did it matter to her?
"You too?" Silver asked, and relaxed. And then began to laugh. "A bodyguard, huh?"
Silver wondered. Hey, maybe it was like those romance novels, and... "Did you meet your partner through your job? Was it romantic?" Her eyes were almost, shining.

Otieno grinned. She should throw one back, it would so make Andraste freak out ! Clapping with his small blue hands he applauded Ein. She had managed to catch it and he knew that it wasn't easy with that kind of baby body.
"Eiin." He announced again and looked for another one of these meatballs. How sad, they were gone ! Otieno started to whimper.
Andraste didn't seem to care but listened to Silver. "Yeah, bodyguard." The woman wrinkled her nose though as the questions continued. "I wouldn't call it romantic. We worked together, he was oh-so-romantic-I-love-you-style. I said no. One day he helped me with my older child and we went into a bar. I got drunk. We had sex. I got pregnant. That's it."
Phew.

She liked listening to people say her name. Continuing to chew, she paused, looking back up at the noise. What was wrong with him? ... was it a diaper problem? Because she hated the diaper problem. You'd think she'd be able to control _that_ much of her bodily functions.
Wiggling in her lap, she shifted, and Silver's hands relaxed enough that Ein could lean across the table properly. Frowning, and making a noise that sounded more like 'ogoo' then Otieno, she stopped. 'Ot!' except then it came out more like an Oh-- it a sharp tense at the end of it.
Silver sighed. "It still sounds romantic to me, like... the baby bought you together, and now you're going to go through the romantic love love stage together! Except, you know. You've got the change diapers and feed babies in the middle of it."
She nodded. Yes. That sounded about right.

Otieno was about to cry as he watched Ein on the other side of the table. She was able to talk as well ? Why hadn't she done it before. Distracted by the red-haired girl the boy just sobbed a bit and then grinned. "Palllll..."
Pointing at the empty tablet he frowned.
"Nah, nothing romantic about it." Andraste mumbled, but decided not to shatter Silver's dreams. Perhaps she was one of these lucky people who were fond of life and such. "Well, at least I've got some kind of family now." The woman had to admit and smiled slightly.
Sipping her coffee she watched the babies. "I wonder if they can do some kind of telepathy or so."

Ein beamed. So what if the words didn't make too much sense yet? Deciding not to push the issue, she offered her the remains of her meatball.
And threw it with two hands, swinging up as if she was playing volleyball.
Wondering belatedly if it would land with a splat on the table, she continued to stare.
"Telepathy?" Silver blinked. And then frowned. And then shook her head. No. No! "That's scary." she said uneasily. "Past criminal babies trying to take over the world?"
Okay. So Silver wasn't quite sure where the taking over the world theory had come from... but that was what she would have done!

Otieno stared at the flying meatball and opened his mouth. He already imagined the soft meat on his tongue and giggled happily as he suddenly felt something wet trickling down his forehead. Opening his eyes he tried to touch the something on his head and it was indeed the meatball.
Alright, a bit hairy, but still good. Otieno quickly devoured the treat, before Andraste could yell at him.
And so she did after making a comment on criminal babies as a good movie plot. "OTIENO !" She sighed and looked at the baby with a growl. "What did I tell you ? That's not good for you, that was dirty."

Ein made a spluttering noise- have laugh, half hiccup that got caught over the noise. Clapping her hands over her mouth to keep it in, her eyes shinning with delight, she nodded her head.
Yes! Well, with more practice, she'd make it to the mouth. Turning at the reprimand though, Ein belatedly remembered that...
uh oh.
Patting her own chest and coming away with gunk, she sent a slightly sneaky look towards her guardian.
Maybe she hadn't noticed it yet..
"Hygiene, cleanliness..." Silver frowned. "You know, it's actually quite hard, keeping track of it all. Making sure she brushes her teeth properly, washes her hands, flushes the toilet..." she chewed on her lip thoughtfully. "Do you think, because they were kind of reincarnated, they have toughter immune systems?"
