Nataya smiled brightly at him. "You're welcome, Mr. Sadril." she said lightly. She then blinked. "We should probably head back then." she said, heading for the register. She hadn't had a chance to get anything for herself, but that was okay. She could always stop by later.
Matthias thought a moment. "I am not sure. My family moved around a lot when I was a child." he said with a shrug. "Though, I think I was born during one of my parents' trips to Egypt."
The pale fae didn't seem to notice the impending doom as Stasia approached the table they were sitting at, looking none too happy.

Ben smiled, and nodded. "We don't want parents getting upset with us," He said, thinking of Thali. Oh, if Josh and Vinny hadn't stayed with her.. she would be furious. Not a pretty sight, especially when she was so close to her due date.
Risa smiled at Matth. "Egypt? I've never been there. I was born in Lynwood myself. Oh... Hello," Risa said, looking at Stasia.
Thali frowned, seeing the look on her friend's face. An angry Stasia wasn't something you saw everyday. Or something you'd want to.

Nataya nodded, waiting for Ben to pay for his pencils before walking out of the store. "I hope they wouldn't get to upset," she said, nibbling her bottom lip a bit. That wouldn't be very good at all, would it?
Stasia barely nodded to the other person, her gaze still locked on the dark-haired fae. "Matthias...where are my kids?" she asked, her tone calm and level....which was not a good sign.
"The twins said they were going to the Disney store with Joshua." Matthias said, shrugging as if it were an obvious answer.
"So let me get this straight....you let a group of toddlers wander off by themselves in a mall?"
"They seemed to know where they were going." He didn't see why she seemed so upset.

Ben handed the cashier the correct amount of gold, and took a paper bag for the pencils so Thali wouldn't be able to see what he'd bought. "I don't think you've ever seen Thali in a bad mood," He said was a grin; though his tone was serious. An angry elf wasn't something he wanted to see. They were too frightening. He walked out of the shop, and made his way towards
Thali frowned, glanced around and realized Joshua wasn't with them. She was silent for a long time-- at least a minute-- before stating; "I'm going to kill Ben."
"I'll help you find them," Risa said, looking from Matth to Stasia, and then to Thali. She knew the princess was serious; if they didn't find the children soon, they'd be witnesses to a murder.

Nataya shook her head. "No, I haven't. But bad moods are a bad thing." They way she said it, you'd think it was the most horrible thing ever. "I hope no one gets upset." she said, following alongside the adult.
Stasia glanced at Risa. "You won't be the only one." She returned her gaze to Matth. "You have ten minutes to find my kids, or else I'm yanking out all of your hair, one pretty little strand at a time." She said, pulling him out of the chair by the arm.
"I'm sure they couldn't have gone far." He said, smiling lightly. Then again, he was used to his daughter, her either slept most the time, as she was doing now, or barely crawled. Not fully mobile toddlers.

"They really are." Ben said, nodding in agreement. "Thali's frightening when she's angry." He paused, before adding, "Let's hope she's calm before we--" He swore. He'd just caught sight of Thali, and she didn't even remotely resemble the word 'Calm'.
"Benjamin..." She started, stomping over to him. Ben flinched. He knew when it was a bad time to make up excuses. "Where. Is. My. Son?" She demanded.
Her husband looked down at his feet, waiting to be hit. He was surprised when he wasn't-- Thali had set her eyes on Nattie and had clearly decided that violence wasn't something children should see. "Find them. Now."
Risa shook her head at Ben. The man had done the one thing that could make Thali angry. He wasn't about to get away with it. "You really should have watched him..." She muttered. "You know how she's like when she's--" She couldn't find the proper words for Thali's mood, so she stood up. "Did you see which direction they went, Matth?" She asked.

Nataya blinked as she heard the adult curse, frowning. Then again, Thali's demeanor didn't help matters at all. "Ms. Thali...please calm down." she said, her voice small and quiet. "I'm sure they're alright..."
"They went somewhere in that direction, last time I saw them." Matth said, motioning down the aisle. "They said something about Disney, if that rings a bell with any of you."

Ben frowned slightly, though he was relieved, and surprised to see that Thali was willing to listen to Nattie. She did seem to be calming down. Very reluctantly. "We'll find them." He told her. He was mostly reassuring himself that he would be safe from Thali's wrath later than reassuring his wife. He looked at Matth, with a puzzled frown. The man with the bad haircut was being helpful. "The Disney Store? We took the boys there a while ago.."
Thali took a deep breath, before heading down the aisle Matth gestured to. Argh, men were so annoying. They couldn't even watch babies correctly!

Matthias nodded. "Yes, I think that's where they were going..." he said. At least, the store name sounded familiar....
Stasia was already walking towards the shop. For Matth's sake, he better hope her kids were there.

Thali walked into the shop, glaring at everything that moved. Toys. Children. Adults. She found out from one of the cashiers that the children had been here-- but had left only a few minutes ago. "Don't you know better than to let three toddlers leave unattended?" She snapped. The cashier flinched. They had obviously dealt with angry mothers before.

Stasia was already out of the store, looking all over. Her anger slowly seeped away, morphing into worry as her mind started playing worst-case scenarios. Oh no. If anything happened to her babies....Matthias was a dead man.

Meanwhile, Joshua was leading the twins back to the fountain where they had left their parents.
Thali frowned, and caught sight of Stasia. "Maybe they went back?" She suggested. "The cashier said they left only a couple minutes ago. They couldn't have gotten far."

Zemel was still carrying the Eeyore plushie, clutching it tightly. He was sniffling by now....he wanted Mommy!
Ginger was trying her best to cheer her twin up. She didn't like it when he was sad.
Stasia frowned. "I hope they did...." she said, her tone showing exactly how worried she was. She bit her lip, turning around as she headed back to the fountain.
'Zuba had already lead the way from the candy store to the fountain, and was busy eating caramel squares as she waited for the parents.

Josh looked at his friends. "I think I see Risa!" He said, pointing to the food courts. "She's Mommy's friend... and Mr. Matth'as's there too!" He led the twins to the fae. "Hi!" He said happily.
Thali followed Stasia, and caught sight of Vinny. "Vinny!" She said, she hadn't thought of worrying about her younger son. Oops. "Where have you been?"
Vinny explained that he'd been with 'Zuba at the candy shop. Thali nodded, grateful that he had been safe. "Thanks for watching him, 'Zuba." She said.
