Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yes very new." Kay replied shifting her position slightly so Delphine wouldn't end up headfirst in the fountain. "I only became her guardian a few days ago, it's weird though because it feels like it's been alot longer."

Her gaze went from Delphi to Thylassa and back again taking in the fins and tail. "I take it Thylassa is a bit of a water baby too?" she grinned. "I was expecting tramua central the first time I gave Delphine a bath, but the hardest part was getting her back out again."

"Loloolo!" Delphinie copied Thylassa's greeting, or atleast tried to. Lying across her mama's lap she could now reach the water better and resumed her splashing. The water wasn't nice and warm like her bath, and it didn't have bubbles either, but it still it was wet and made nice splishy noises.

Kay smiled kindly at Thylassa and gave her a little wave. Obviously she wasn't the only shy one. Wrinkling her nose as Delphi slashed away and got them both wet, she looked down at the little fish-kitty who was now chattering away happily as she splashed. Well atleast Delphine was outgoing.

Kay smiled as she watched the other guardian and mishap interact. She wondered if she and Delphine would stay close as she grew. That was a slightly sad thought but something she wouldn't have to worry about for some time atleast. She snapped out of her thought at Thylassa's question.
"Her name's Delphi." She said using her nickname instead, thinking the whole thing might be to much of a mouthful for a toddler.

Delphine ceased her splashing, beginning to tire of just hitting the water with her hands. Rolling over she stared up at the guardians and Thylassa wide eyed. Huh, the 'Lassa person had funny things on top of her head. Were they her fins? Or maybe they were her legs? Delphine curled and uncurled her own legs as she pondered this.

"I guess I can expect trouble when this one learns to walk then eh?" Kay grinned at Gullien. "I've already had to stop her eating the pet fish, the soap, the sponges." She made a face. "Buying fish shaped ones may not have been the best idea."

"She's a fish-kitty!" Kay grinned. "Apparently whatever spell she came from had something from a Lionfish and a Tiger." She tickled the mishap's stomach. "You think they take on more characteristics of the things they were made from as they get older?" She frowned at this. "The note I got about her said her spines weren't poisonous - at this point. Sounds kinda ominous huh?"

Delphine continued to watch everything with wide eyes. She giggled when Thylassa poked her fin and again when her mama tickled her tummy. When her mama's voice started getting a bit worried however she kicked her legs and waved her arms for attention. "Ma!"

Kay pulled the little mishap upright and gave her a snuggle. At Thylassa's question though she turned to Gullien. "I don't know if she can swim yet or not."

"I'm hoping that if they do become poisonous she'll be old enough by then to be responsible and careful with them." Kay replied tickling the fins in question gently. Seeing how shallow the water was and figuring that Delphi probably wouldn't drown with her and Gullien sitting just there, she plonked Roo and the ground, turned to face the fountain a bit more and asked Delphi "Would you like to paddle a bit?"

Delphi clapped her hands gleefully. "Ba!" Of course she would! She could show 'Lassa how much splashiness she could make with her long legs.

Holding Delphine gently, she lowered the little mishap into the fountain, making sure to still keep a good grip on her, she could get downright slippery sometimes.

Delphine flicked her long tail as it touched the water, then when her feet entered she squealed with glee and began to kick then as hard as she could, getting herself and her mama thoroughly wet. "Ma!"

"Ek, Delphi!" Kay groaned as she got water sloshed onto her tshirt and jeans. "She does this at bathtime too" Kay explained to Gullien. "I always end up as wet as she does. I'm thinking I should buy some swimmers."

Delphine shrieked with laughter as Tylassa splashed her back. Finally someone who understood what water was actually for! She curled her long legs up as they were tiring, and began to copy 'Lassa's hand slapping movement. "Ishie!!" she squealed, apparently deciding that it was a good enough word to describe anything good.

"I was more worried about other people really." Kay sighed fingering the for now non-poisonous spines. She shook her head and grinned, "But for all I know that day is far off or may never come, so I guess there's no point worrying about it until it happens." She winced as another wave of water splashed her. "In the meantime researching an effective drying spell would be more useful I think."

"Eh no I'm not a mage or a witch!" Kay hastened to say. "I do have some spell books and things around but the only thing I manage to do is ruin perfectly good cauldrons. I thought maybe if I found a spell Maggie might be able to perform it for me. Maybe enchant something." She gave a quick grin. "So no I didn't make Delphi. I've been thinking about trying to get a vision of who made her, but it's kind of hard to concentrate when you're holding a wriggling baby."
Seeing as this comment might confuse poor Gullien futher Kay went on to explain. "I'm kind of a Seer. Not very good at the seeing the future thing and I can only really see other stuff if I have something related to what I want to see to hold and concentrate really hard." She made a digusted face, "I'm sure I used to be better at it, must be getting out of practice."

Delphine cocked her head to one side as Thylassa repeated her words. "Ishie?" She said questioningly unsure if she'd used the word the right way or not.

At the tug on her sleeve Kay looked down at Thylassa, well she seemed to have gotten over her shyness pretty quickly. A smile burst onto her face at her cute baby voice, "Yes she is! Part fish atleast." She flashed a smile at Gullien, "She's so darn cute!"

Delphine gave a grumpy huff. She didn't like her mama giving so much attention to someone else. Grabbing onto her mama's sleeve she puffed her fins at Thylassa as if to say, that's my mama, hands off!

"Eh-heh" Kay let out a tiny embarassed laugh at Gullien saying she was normal. "I guess it's magic based" She said after pondering Gullien's words for a minute. "I was pretty much born with the ability.."
Kay grinned as Thylassa explain what kind of mishap she was. "You have done your research Lassa!"

Delphine meanwhile had taken Thylassa's puffing up, tail wagging and water splashing as a direct challenge. She'd show the newt girl how big and scary she could be!
The kitty-fish mishap uncurled her long legs once again, and with a huff puffed both her kitty-tail and all her fins as far as they could go. She let out a deep throated "Rooowl!" and with that she kicked her legs as fast as they could go.

At Delphine's outbrst Kay looked down shocked, she'd never heard that noise before. Deciding that this was not a happy sound she reached over and plucked Delphi from the water. "What's the matter chicken?" she soothed noticing Delphi had puffed herself up into what was usually the precurser to tantrum mode.

Delphi just clung to her mama dripping wet and wide eyed, slightly shocked at her sudden removal from the fountain.
