Welcome to Gaia! ::

The clinic seemed to be empty except for a sprawled figure on one of the couches, pink and yellow hair sticking up messily from the position Slush was laying in. Though, as comfortable as he looked, he wasn't sleeping. Not with Tourmaline perched on his stomach at least.

The baby was attempting her darndest to crawl under Slush's shirt and make a cave, and squealing haughtily every time she either got stuck or didn't fit all the way. Her stuffed shark lay forgotten on the floor, where she had kicked it off once she realized both her and him wouldn't fit.

Blinking profusely, Slush turned his head and waved with the hand not serving as a baby bumper at the moment. "Howdy."

Tourmaline simply shoved her head out of her mother's shirt with a grunt and eyed the boy at the door. Her first thought: he wasn't as pretty as her because he didn't have a tail. "Bleeee!" She commented matter of factly in an earpiercing shriek.

Slush had become far too used to her noises to be surprised at this one.

Surion's hands went to his ears and he winced "Wow little one has a lot to say" he commented waiting for hte shreik to die down before uncovering his ears. He walked closer his tail moving lazily behind him regardless how curious this little one made him considering where she was

"You've noticed too huh?" Slush piped up cheerfully as he sat up, tugging the squirming ball of Skullmonkey out from under his shirt before swivelling to face the child.

No more cave!? Tourma looked indignant and immediately reached out for her fallen shark. "Vwwee grrd!" she demanded, bapping Slush's arm with her little tail. All of this caused her Pegasus seed, which Slush had turned into a necklace, to bouce around on her neck.

Tourmaline immediately snatched HER shark away from this boy. Heavens forbid that he STEAL it, or worse dirty it and then return it. Nevermind that she had recently dumped it on the floor.

"Thanks! And yes, a girl." Slush was too busy beaming to think of much else to say for a while, "Oh! I'm Slush, and this little screecher is Tourmaline."

As if she knew he were talking about her, the infant beamed as she gummed on the dorsal fin of Sharkie.

Approaching the clinic, Sin looked around without a word, his hands resting pensively within the confines of his pockets. The chilled golden eyes read over the sign before chuckling. Stepping towards the door, he pulled both hands from his pockets, one reaching immediately for the door, the other brushing through the choppy, dark brown hair to attempt to push some of the longer strands which decided to join his bangs before his face. He stopped a moment, looking himself over to make sure that there wasn't anything out of place or badly kept before stepping inside of the clinic. When seeing the other two, he blinked a moment and nodded, his expression breaking a moment for a small hint of a smile. "Hello."

Slush flicked his tail and peered past Surion at the man who just entered the clinic, "Heeeey there!" he said cheekily, apparently still in a good mood as he added a elaborate wave to the lot as well.

Nodding over to Surion, Slush sat Tourma down on his lap and attempted to adjust the shark so that it wasn't jammed uncomfortably into his lap. Unfortunately, cooperation really isn't a word to describe the little Skullmonkey, and she gave a sharp yell and yanked the stuffed fish back to where she wanted it.

Her 'mother' simply gritted his teeth and took a few deep breaths before moving and setting her down on the couch. That shark's tail looked much safer... over there. Yeah.

"I'm Slush!" he pipped up to the stranger, looking for something else to think about.

Stepping to the desk, he looked at the other adult, then the children, a more genuine smile crossing his lips when he watched them. Shaking his head once, he slid the sunglasses from his face, exposing the scar over his nose that looked like it was made from a warning swipe of a large cat. Sliding them into his inside breast pocket, Sin spoke to the parent quietly. "I'm rather new around here." Nodding his head again, he placed a hand to his chest and tipped a bit, introducting himself to those around. "My name is Sin."

When Sin introduced himself, Slush finally noticed the clock behind the desk. Ohshitohshit!

He had told Isto he'd be home about an hour ago!

And if they didn't get Tourmaline down to sleep then they couldn't have sex and he'd be so sad.

All of this rushed through his mind in one jumbled motion and he stumbled up onto his feet sharply, eyes wide and frantic.

"Ah ah! I've got to go! Haven't had it in months..." With a crazed look on his face he pointed to the two of them as he scooped the very confused Tourmaline up off the couch. "NEVER put yourself into a situation where you have to schedule sex. SEX SHOULD HAPPEN OFTEN!" He screeched, panting somewhat.

No wonder Touma was weird.

And she was not one to be out done in screeching! No siree, and as soon as Slush finished his decree, the baby began yelling and making the bestest high pitched noises that she could.

Not that it mattered, for Slush had already made his way out of the door, muttering something about being on top for once this time.
