What should I do, what would Jul- wait, no. What would Mum - er. No. Ah...
What would Ethan do?!
Thoughts racing, Lenore's eyes darted around and she gulped. Ethan would blush, stammer and possibly flee, he'd told her enough about his own crush Syrelle to let her gather his usual response. She felt that weird fluttery feeling again and....
...reached out and very, very carefully held Osso's hand.

Feeling Len's had in his, he no longer bothered to try and find something to say. It just not longer felt like he needed to and words became un-necessary.
He smiled again and looked down on her. His hand held hers more strongly and everything just seemed perfect....That is until he suddenly got a blank stare like when he first came into the garden. Immediatly Osso already knew what was happening and the image of a white car pulling up to a curb wasn't really needed when it flashed in his head.
Blinking twice he gave a sad sigh," my mom's here...I'm really sorry, Len."

Disappointed beyond words, Len let go of Osso's hand with regret.
"Okay..." she said, grinning sheepishly at him. "So I guess that means we're... I'm you're..." she trailed off again, looking both happy and terrified. Contenting herself to hug him again, she gave a glowing smile and let him go.
"I'll see you later, then."

If it was physically possible for him to do so, Osso would be glowing. The letting go of hands was quickly forgotten as he returned her hug. He wore a smiliar smile, one both filled with happyness and fear, " I think so..."
He finally let go after trailing off from his words. The boy had no clue how these relationships worked. He had never asked his guardian nor had she ever told him about any of her relationships. He was pretty much in the dark, but no matter...Oh how he is going to get motherly teased when Azumi finds out.
"Very soon," he replied. His hand was on the door handle. One more smile was giver before he slipped out and shakily made his way down the stairs, down, and then out to the car.
Azumi could already see his graying face as he approached. She shook her head with a funny smirk on her face. Yea...she'll get the details.

_____RP with Tamary_
Ah, it was a beautiful day. It was the perfect weather for an outing outside, but somehow a pair of conjoined twins found themselves indoors. Which was just as well as, strange as it might seem, Rex felt mightly lazy and could not bear to run around outside, or even anywhere else for that matter.
Rolling to his side, the boy sighed, before a push and wriggle from his twin had him back rolling back on his stomach. Rex let out another yawn, and idly played around with the grass, growing and sculpting the ground before him into a miniature landscaped garden.
King, meanwhile, rumbled happily at the passing clouds overhead. If there was one thing he liked about being indoors, it was the fact that he could stare at the sky without hurting his eyes. And for a long time.

-RP with Rex-
It was very strange. The grass felt real. The blades were strong, yet soft and flexible as any grass, despite their indoor exhistance. Tamary knelt down and plucked out one blade. It broke as grass does, part clean and part stringy, and very much alive.
Standing, Tamary let the broken blade slip between her fingers to fall back into the grass. Her eyes were moving elsewhere already, intrigued by this indoor paradise. It gave her a little thrill to know she had found this place on her own. Though Pink had given her permission to wander within the walls, Zuleika liked to think she had escaped, slipped past his notice, and was exploring on the run. It would have been terrible if her little "forbidden" rendezvous had ended without her finding anything interesting.
Wandering forward into the tall, waving green plants, Tamary disappeared behind wide leaves. Inside there was nothing but waterfalls of green, everyside engulfing Zuleika with a brush against her skin. Once again, Tamary pretended her way into a forest, where she was camouflaged by her naturally green skintone, survived by sharp reflexes and instinct, and skillfully hid from her guardian. The Crocodile Mishap shrilled with happy excitement, the equivalent of a giggle, and remained blissfully aware of how this could have potentionally blown her "cover".
The tiny forest went on a good ways, the shrubery lined up in a curving row. Darting under and through the bushes, her tail twacking back and forth, Tamary barelled through, on the run, and shrilling just a bit with glee. Very abruptly the row came to an end, Tamary bursting forth out onto the grass from the bushes and stumbling to a stop in surprise. The brightness of the garden hurt her eyes after being surrounded by dark, comforting walls of green.
Thus, it took her squinting eyes a moment to readjust. As the white blurr faded back into the shapes and colors of the garden, Tamary startled at seeing a boy laying out in the grass a short distance from her. His appearance shattered her game of pretend, draining her of her momentary confidence.
Feeling shy and uncertain, Tamary stared at the boy. "Hi," was all she could manage, lapsing back into her shy, quiet state as she studied the figure. He seemed quiet familiar.

Both Rex and King were taken by surprise at the suddenness of the greeting, and both heads turned towards the source of the sound. Boy and dinosaur stared back at the little green toddler before them for a solid few seconds, before King finally broke the silence with a cheerful bark-yelp.
"Uh, hello."
Rex pushed himself into a sitting position facing the colorful child, effectively swinging King out of sight of her. The boy studied younger mishap briefly, before a growl, followed by a thundering roar of protest forced him to shift his current position so that he was sitting with his shoulder towards the little one - an awkward position, no less.
Rex knew he had met the toddler somewhere, if only he could remember where, and who.
It's her! King, on the other hand, had no trouble remembering the crocodile mishap. The tyrannosaur threw a volley of whatever vocals he could come up with at Tamary, greeting her as if she was a long lost friend. It did not matter if she could not understand him - the joy and happiness in his voice was more than obvious.

The Croc Mishap only tilted her head slightly to the side at Rex's greeting -to see him better- but said nothing more. She studdied his stripes in and face in the brief time he looked at her. She knew she had met him before, but she didn't remember knowing anyone so big! He looked a bit like her though, with his flat skin, so she took an instant re-liking to him.
At the sudden noise from King her cone flatened momentarily, then instantly flew up in the air. That sound! Why, the gratting roar! Rather than frightening her, the sound excited her to the prospect of finding/meeting/seeing another reptilian! Tamary looked around, but didn't see anything. Where had it come from?
Movement from the stripped boy captured her attention agian, shifting her gaze. She saw him move his head to the side so that his shoulder was facing her a- Zuleika's cone of feathers rose to it's full forty-five degree angle, a short, high-pitch shrill squeezed out of her as she saw King.
Her uncertainly instantly disappearing, Tamary Zuleika rushed forward to greet the loud, happy sounds from the tyrannosaur, stopping just a few feet away from the twins. She looked from Rex to King, then stared at King. She returned her own, happy shrill sounds, entirely too pleased at seeing the other. What a fabulous turn to her adventure!
It's 'im! It's 'im! It's 'im! Tamary thought to herself. Everytime she had thought about wanting to go out and meet more of the children, she had first thought of this loud creature before her.
Stepping forward again, unafraid and unabashed, she reached out and touched the nose of the volatile tyrannosaur, giving a low purring shrill as she did so.
After stroking his nose a few times in greeting, she looked again at Rex, her cone falling slightly from the height of excitement. She didn't remember this one as well, though he most obviously been there when she had seen the other. She studied him, trying to recall his name. She knew from the loud one that he was a Tyrannosaur, but she could not pronounce that. She tried instead for the shorter version.
"REX," she held onto the word, almost rolling the "r" before the word came out in one short jump. Thinking a moment, she then pointed to herself, "Tam-ary."
Turning her head, she said with pleasure to King, "Zoo-leh-kuh."

King beamed at Tamary, letting her stroke his nose as long as she liked, purring like a contented cat all the while.
"Tamary!" Rex half-shouted as something clicked in his head. "So it's you!" The boy exclaimed, grinning down at her. He remembered now, she was one of the first(and only) person King had accepted at first glance. Not even Mother had such an honor...
Looking Tamary up and down, the boy nodded. "You've grown bigger, Tam. Last time we met, you're still a baby," he said, reaching out a hand to pat her gently on the head, careful not to mess up her one feathers.
"Rex, that's me," Rex laughed, then pointed a thumb behind him at his twin. "That's King, if you don't remember."
As if on cue, King leaned in and pressed his muzzle against the toddler, nuzzling her affectionately before a slobbery tongue reached out and, like it or not, covered the crocodile mishap in a layer of wet, sticky t-rex saliva.

Tamary grinned, pleased that Rex remember her. She had to admit she had forgotten their names, but she had definately not forgotten them.
She ducked her head just a bit as the boy patted her head, though she didn't mind the gesture. "You're big," she replied in kind. They were much much bigger than she remember them. She didn't see anyone else about, and wondered if they had managed to slip away just as she had.
Surprised by King's sudden attack of nuzzles and sloppy kiss, Tamary giggled loudly, ending on short shrills. Rubbing her hands up on her face to wipe off the saliva, and to rub on King's head some more, she laughed,
"Zuleika miss King, too!"

King pressed his nose into Tamary's hand as she rubbed him, and the low rumbling purr in his throat started again.
"Aren't I?" Rex grinned, waving the tip of his tail back and forth. "I'm the tallest mishap in the HQ," he announced rather proudly, then paused for a bit, stroking his chin. "Except for Jabir, he's very tall." He added, with an emphasis on the word 'very'.
The boy smiled at Tamary, then instictively looked around for her guardian. Only... there was no sign of him anywhere.
"Where's your Daddy, Tam?" Rex asked wonderingly. Then, lowering his voice to a secretive whisper, "What are you doing out here all alone?"

Tamary was watching King as she replied, "I escaped!" She half whispered, but was not entirely unable to hide her enthusiasm for the game.
Rubbing King's nose a bit more, she looked over at Rex. She knew, of course, that adults tended to worry about such things. The boy was aweful big. Did he count as an adult? She wondered if she should tell him the truth. "You escape too?"
"I came to see plants," she said, dropping her hand from King's nose. "You like plants?"

Rex couldn't help but notice Zuleika's enthusiasm, so he joined in her game. "Ahh.." he said, lowering his voice.
"Yep. I escaped, from an evil..." Rex paused, trying to find someone to label as an evil... something. "Bird." Ahem, yes. "Called Andi." Oh boy.
Rex chuckled at the thought of Andi being evil, but dismissed it at Zuleika's next question. "Plants?" Rex echoed. He wasn't really a big fan of them, but Mother does, and so do King, for some odd reason.
"Sure, why not?" Rex said casually and nodded, then added as an afterthought, "It's related to my element."

Zuleika's eyes glistened brightly with excitement at the mention of Rex's captor. "An evil biiird she repeated. It might not have interested her so much if it had not been a bird. But an evil bird?! She had never seen an evil bird! Maybe she was an evil bird. "Washe like?"
She paused, hearing his last bit about the plants. "Wassan element?" The only elements she knew were of things like the rain and wind, basically the weather. She had never heard of it being refered to has something one could have. "Plant... element?"

Rex laughed, and dropped his voice to a bare whisper. "Very nasty. Like a bad-tempered old maid." He had just made that up, of course, but the boy wasn't going to let the toddler know.
"Well, it's not exactly a plant element," Rex straightened up, shifting into a more comfortable position. "Element, in this case, is something related to magic." Rex explained simply, pausing for a little while and looking down at the crocodilian mishap before him. "When you're older, you'll get to know what element you're alligned with, so you can do stuff with them."
"For example, my elements are Earth, Time and Gravity. With Earth, I can do this," Rex waved his hand over the patch of grass beside Zuleika. Nothing seemed to happen at first. Slowly, each blade seemed to come to life. Each seemed like it was dancing oddly as some grew longer while the rest became shorter, and vice versa.
With an effort, King managed to turn his head slightly against Rex's, and peered at the grass critically. The reptile huffed, and attempted to crush the dancing green stuff flat with his tail.
