A tic twitched in Len's jaw at the spider child's audacity of violating her space. Eyes narrowed for an instant as she collected her hair over her shoulder, keeping a firm hand on it. As an afterthought, she twitched her tail into closing, feathers tightly packed together.
She had nothing against the little boy, but her space was precious and she liked her hair intact, thank you very much.
She drew her breath in sharply at the sight of Jack, awestruck.
"...Hi," she managed, looking shy. "Pleased to meet you."
Nodding and listening attentively to Salem, Ethan started when Bax addressed him.
"Oh! Ah....I..." he trailed off, deeply considering the question as he watched Istu. "I am," he said finally. "It was hard at first. But I am adjusting well. I.... am growing to like it here. I don't miss home as much anymore."

Cato blinked as he looked down at the tail that had snapped itself shut. "How 'bout one doughs..."
"No... That would hurt her butt..."
"An' doughs...?" Now the little one pointed at her arm.
"No Cato! That would hurt her too! You can't just take things like this... You know that! You could have really hurt her, Cato. You don't like it when people hurt you, right?"
The spider Mishap nodded.
"Then you shouldn't hurt other people either! They don't like being hurt, just like you don't like being hurt." His father explained patiently, apparently not for the first time. "Come on Cato. Say you're sorry to Len."
The clepto Mishap sighed softly and toddled back over to Len, looking up at her with his odd double eyes. "I'm sorry, Len..." He said softly. Oh... He was so cute! Who would have thought all the trouble he could cause...

The baby burbled happily, reaching toward the table and picking up a spoon. "Fa-poo!" He giggled, raising it high above his head like a baton and then he merely wiggled it in Ethan's direction. "Swee?" He asked as though asking him a question about sweets, though what was the question we would never know. The babe giggled again, wiggling the spoon around.
Bax shrugged and then smiled. "Where were you from?"
"Fa-poooo!"

"Pleased? ..To meet me?" The ghost blinked it's red eyes. "You, besides the wasp are the first."
"I found him while I was doing errands for Mama." She said quietly. "I told him he could stay with me as much as he wants... so I thought he should make some friends... He's really sad all the time." She whispered the last bit.

Len gazed coolly at Cato a moment before nodding and petting the boy's head, forgiving him.
"It's okay, Cato. No harm done," she said patiently. Without a further thought, she reached up to her opposite wrist and promptly plucked out a razor feather. The deadly sharp feather visibly dulled, silver brilliance dwindling to a softer, glittering tarnish.
"Here ya go," she said, taking Cato's odd-digited hand and folding his fingers over the little feather. "Just don't lose it," she added with a small smile.
Turning her gaze back to Aphrodite, she glanced shyly over at Jack.
"He's so cool.... never met a ghost before," she said. Inclining her head to Jack, she met his eyes shyly.
"Yes, I'm very pleased to meet you," she said firmly. "You're cool."
Ethan flinched ever so slightly at Bax's question. He didn't like to tell it to others - it dredged up homesickness all too easily.
"Earth," he said with slight discomfort. "It is...ah...an alternate reality. I think. I don't think Gaia is a different planet, from what I've read about this place. My home is...well. How can I explain it?" he said, slouching in his chair and pondering. "It is a 'here' different from the one we are in. I don't think I can really explain it otherwise."
"I came from a country called Slovakia," he added. There had been no comments about his accent, but he'd felt the need to clarify it anyway.

Salem settled down next to his Uncle, smiling at first his Uncle then at the fawn. "Hey there Istu... How ya doin'?" He asked gently, pulling a mint from his pocket and handing it to the child, knowing well enough of his sweet tooth.
Cato smiled as he closed his fingers around the offered feather, what looked like his pointer finger coming around to easily act like a thumb. "Pretty..." He said in awe down at the sparkling feather, smiling widely at how the fire flies reflected on it. He put the feather carefully into his pocket before scampering off to try and catch a fire fly, Blank clinging to his head at the sudden movement.

"Ooo." Istu oogled, taking the mint gingerly out of Salem's hand and then promptly began to suck on it. Then he began to wiggle, wanting his release so he may go and explore the surrounding area. "Daaah." He whined, wiggling.
Baxterfullous sighed, bending foreward to place Istu on the floor. "As in Chekloslovakia? You are Slovak? That would explain the accent." the catfolk smiled as he sipped his tea.
Istu gasped at his new found freedom, standing up with effort he toddled off after Cato, mint his his mouth and spoon in his hand. "Fapoo!" He squeeled. It was common knowlege that fawns and saytrs were quick learners when it came to learn how to walk. Bax learned that lesson the hard way.

"I'm cool?" His eyes glistened as he gasped, his inky black hands came up to cover his cheeks as he hid behind a statue. "You are too kind."
Aphrodite giggled a bit. "He's very shy." She informed her raven friend.

Ethan's heart leapt. This man...this man knew of his home. He knew!
"Yes! Yes, yes, Slovakia, yes! You've heard of it? Have you ever been there? Do you know anyone there? Is there, is there... is there anyone there here? In Gaia?" he asked rapidly, the questions spilling out one after another. He knew in the back of his mind that Baxterfullous' answers would only disappoint him, but he had to ask anyway.
Len smiled kindly at Jack, beckoning him over gently.
"You're really cool, I swear," she said. "Ghosts are really neat anyway."

Salem laughed softly as the little fawn toddled off He was such a cute and sweet kid. His attention then turned to Cato, making sure his little one didn't get himself into even more trouble... As he usually did.
The spider toddler smiled happily as he ran after the fire flies, nearly slamming into Len once again as he finally caught one within his main set of hands. He smiled up at the bird-like girl before popping the glowing insect into his mouth and happily crunching it up.
Blank looked away as the bug was lost from view. "Ugh..." He really would never get used to this child's diet...

"Eww!" Wiggled the babe, running away from Cato spoon held high in the air. Finally landing in Salem's lap, since he didn't know how to stop he might as well run itno something soft. "Oomph!"
Baxterfullous blinked, placing the tea cup down onto it's saucer. "It's... a long story of how I know of Earth Europe, it invovles alot of time travel and World Wars." He sighed, furrowing his brow. "I went there once in refuge with a pair of young charges, a witch helped us seek refuge away from the fueding of families.. and the humans." He took a deep breath. "It's a very long story.. and I don't know if she's still alive, it's been a very long time since I last spoke to her."

Waddling out from the entrance of the garden, the very pregnant Catherine emerged. Dressed in what looked to be a pair of over sized jeans, and a tank top, exposing her five month belly... that looked more like six or seven. Her feet bare she carefully made her way towards her lover. "Saaaay-lum." She sounded as though she had whined. "You ok?"
Aphrodite smiled, she blinked looking over as she spotted her mother.
Jack smiled, shyly floating his way over towards lenore. His eyes glistened, and he seemed genuinly happy. A first for the horribly emo ghost.

Lenore cringed slightly as Cato ate the poor firefly. It was in the girl's nature to protect, and even this life she'd seen snuffed out, she felt guilty for not having saved. Smiling at Cato warily, she turned her face away towards Jack and Aphrodite. Her eyes lit up as Jack approached - she'd always found ghosts terribly interesting. They were a paradox she couldn't quite understand, and meeting one in the flesh(as it were) was a lovely new experience.
Ethan listened raptly, fascinated. It sounded like a good story.
"...World Wars...Crow would like that, she likes World War II history very much," he said conversationally. Glancing over at the newest arrival, he waved to Catherine politely. "Hello."

"Oop! You okay Istu-kiddo? What's wrong?" He looked over at Cato at that moment and saw him chewing. "Oh... Never mind... Yeah, I know... He eats weird things... You shouldn't try it... Hm?" He blinked as his name was whined before smiling fondly. "Hey there baby. Yeah, I'm okay. Just needed some air. You feeling better, love?"
Cato snickered at the look on Len's face before looking over at the ghost. What was the big deal about him? Cato had seen him lots of times, always floating around Aphrodite. He was always so sad... Why would you want to hang around with someone like that...?

"Oo." Istu cooed looking up at Salem, reaching up idly to grab his chin. "Chin." He stated, squishing the cat-man's cheeks together.
Baxterfulous shrugged. "Hmm I hear she's seeing someone, how's that going?" He seemed oddly interested, perhaps he coould plot to make liam s**t himself. He smiled evily as he imagened horrible things... Though luckily, his affections were geered toward Kanilea.
