Ilusen was curled on the sofa watching the latest "match to the death" between her little boy and his sibling, and what was this fight for? the TV buttons. She wondered sometimes if they really were going to kill each other and looked on with slight worry as dylan knawed playfully on seleece's arm "Dylan stop that!" she shouted putting on her 'i mean bussiness' face this seemed to do the trick and Dylan moved away from his sister looking guilty "thorry mummy.." he whined and Ilu couldnt help but giggle slightly, her little boy had appeared with only a few teeth and talked with a lisp.
Ilusen heard the doorbell go and was about to get up when Chalda beat her to it, "Ok.." she replied as she wondered who it might be, she was pleasently surprised when Chalda announced they had been invited to a party, and she could tell that Dylan was too as he jumped up from the corner and let out a little woop, lunging towards chalda to get the invitation she was holding.

Artificial Anonymity Shouko nervously worried her lower lip - what if they weren't coming? What if they really hated her, and all that work Mom and her had been doing was for naught? Getting the extra tables and chairs had been a pain in the butt, but getting that freelance wizard to make a dome around their garden (making it seem like it was summer inside, while it just seemed plain stupid from the outside) so the party could be outdoors; their house was big, but not that big. Checking the refreshments table another time, the pink-haired girl settled for nervously watching the entrance. Jadaria It had been a long night. A very long, long night - one that Jadaria remembered, vaguely, from when Kajika had been a toddler... Only, worse, so it would seem. The boy was painfully hyper - of course, she hadn't realized how very much he wanted to meet people, or perhaps she would have thrown a party for him. Oh well - at least he was able to attend this one, yes! And attend it they would - carrying one large box with two more, smaller boxes taped to the top, the whole thing wrapped up in bright, pink-green-and-yellow paper. It was probably Kajika's wrapping paper of choice, and he had most definately 'helped' with the wrapping - one side of it was fairly neat, while the other was crinkled, over-taped, and generally messy. The whole package was decorated with several bows, some small, some big, some with little frilly ribbons... Apparently, the boy had no concept of 'not bringing a gift.' Thankfully, Jadaria's slug-raising-business apparently gave her enough money to fund his little splurge. Why not lavish gifts upon the birthday girl? It was her special day, after all! "Miiiiim, Mim, Mim, Mim, Mim, Mimimimimimimiiiiiim~" Kajika chanted, bouncing almost too hyperactively until he was allowed to spring out of the car, at which point he dove away from the door, landed on his hands, and shot straight up into a handstand - then proceeded to bounce around more.
"We're heeeeeeeere~?!""Yes, dear. Close your door while I get the present out of the trunk. "PreSENTS.""Right, right. The door." With an exasperated, over-dramatic sigh, the ruddy boy padded over to the car door and proceeded to push it shut with one foot, then began to 'walk' towards the entrance of the house, peering at that... weird... dome... thing curiously.
"Mim, whassat?""I don't know, Kaji. Why don't you walk on your feet? You can show off later. And did you lose one of your earrings again?" "No... They're both still in, see?""Hm. Must've been the light. Feet. Now." "Miiiiiiim....""Kaji, do you want me to take away your stuff for a week?" "No~!"And so went the exchange between the two as they approached, Kaji finally popping up to his feet, Jadaria looking speculatively to where they were supposed to go... exactly. Towards the back? There didn't seem to be any indication to go to the front door... And she knew SHE wouldn't want a birthday party for a bunch of kids inside HER house. So, with a sigh, she tugged her son back towards the domed area, rather curiously. Artificial Anonymity Looking excitedly towards the backyard's entrance as she heard voices, Shouko squealed happily - someone came! "Mooooooom~! GUESTS!!" the girl was practically bouncing around by now, looking for her mother; after all, she needed help with all the formal-stuff. She'd never been very good at that, Shouko knew. Resolutely ignoring her daughter's squeals (it was rather undignified), Anon stared at her miserable attempt at a cake. She'd been baking all morning, hoping to surprise the pink-haired girl (though she had the feeling that Shouko already knew and was just trying to act oblivious for her mother's sake); pretty much for nothing. It wasn't pretty, to say the least. Meanwhile, Shouko had moved closer to the entrance - they might need a bit help to find it, she figured; they'd forgotten to put up any signs. "Helloooooo?" Jadaria Jadaria wasn't quite sure where to go - until Kajika began to tug at her arm, and she saw the pink-haired girl, which brought a smile to her face. She assumed that must have been the 'birthday girl,' and nudged her son to say hello. Kajika, taken aback by this predicament, crinkled his nose - a GIRL? No one said it was going to be a GIRL! He knew what girls were, yes - he'd just never been introduced to one his age before. Thus, he went through a cycle of emotions quickly - outrage, disgust, frustration, and finally, curiosity. Such was the whim of a child!
"Hellooooo~" he called, waving frantically once he'd settled on the latter emotion. He bounced, then looked up at his mother expectantly, practically wriggling with excitement. At a nod, he let out a whoop, then bolted over towards the entrance, and this new person.
"Hiiiiiiii, I'm Kajiiiiiika, who're yoooooou?" he exclaimed, very much excitable.Jadaria just smiled, shook her head, and followed. Freize The weremutt was trodding his way down towards the house, eyes drifting between the address he was holding and his final destination. The male, luckily, had taken time to clean up- the past few days he had been in a complete dissarray, hair shooting out in all directions and his clothes all messy. He still had the faintest bit of pink rimming his eyes, showing his utter lack of sleep and making Freize seem even more tired than usual. Some stubble was even beginning to show itself along his jawline. And thus, one could easily see the remains of a man after caring for newborn children for the past few weeks. He yawned lightly, freehand moving up to scritch the side of his nose in an oddly slow fashion. He was trying to keep his mind focused on the piece of paper and what was written on it so as to find this foreign household, but he found it harder a task than it seemed. In another light, his joey actually seemed somewhat docile as well. Eva was, of course, being carried by Freize, and had his head burried into the older male's chest. He was apparantly napping- something he had been doing more and more frequently during the day as he got older... Which, unfortunately for Freize, meant that he was up more at night. He would perk up plenty when he had company, though. He hadn't seen any other Edens in a good while, so he'd be overjoyed to finally make new friends and maybe see some of the ones he already had."C'mon, we're almost there. Wake up, Eva." The roo's ears swivvelled downwards and he silently yawned into his Da's shirt. He settled back slightly, rubbing at his eyes with a small fist, nose wrinkling. He was a light sleeper, atleast. He sat still for only a moment or so before moving to climb up and sit himself on his Da's shoulders.Freize wandered aimlessly for a few moments before spotting other beings. Thank the gods. He ran a hand through his hair, moving to come up behind them. "Um... Hello...? Is this where the party is?" Eva looked down at the other Edens, suddenly excited, a smile drawing across his face. The runt lifted a hand, waving enthusiastically at the girl and boy. The girl kinda reminded him of Tyyne, because they both made him think of flowers for some reason.Ilusen Ilusen was finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the spritely young boy. Puffing away as she veered round the corner of the street written on the invitation she finally gained distance and grabbed Dylan by his arm "Slow... down" she panted trying to catch her breath back, she may be young but she certainly didnt have the energy of this young toddler.
Dylan took one look at his mothers pink face and laughed, he was enjoying this game and had no sympathetic thoughts towards her. He clung onto the present he had bought for the birthday girl protectively, it was wrapped up messily, signalling that it was he who wrapped it himself trying to be "helpful" for his mommy. He had no intention of letter her open it, he wanted to. As they strolled up the path Ilusen looked at her watch seeing they were a couple of minutes early, thank goodness, she was sick of being late. Feeling rather guilty for leaving her friend behind with Seleece, who was being extremely stubborn about the party and wouldn't put her clothes on.
Ilusen wandered round the side of the house and smiled at all the guests who had allready arrived, not knowing who exactly to address "Um.. my friend and her little girl will be around in a few minutes, she was having a little trouble finding a party dress to wear you see." she delivered the excuse and directed Dylan towards the pink haired girl who was obviously the birthday girl. Reluctantly he sulked over to her and held the present out "thor yoo" he said, his lisp becoming even more apparent. Then he put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a home made card for shouko too.
(will put the gifts in when i receive them!) Freize Eva smiled merrily, ears twitching about, gaze drifting over the area... Aha... Whazzat? The little guy's eyes had hooked on that bubble they had set up, as Freize had yet to step inside. He'd never seen one of those before... Blue eyes blinked as the frog spoke up, and he turned to look at him with arched brows. He smiled after seeing who it was and waved once again, his tail thumping against one of Freize's shoulders in an idle manner as it swayed back and forth behind him. He lifted himself up to a stand on the shoulder he was previously seated on, keeping his balance with surprising ease for a runt, and then he hopped on down. He landed on his feet now- he'd gotten good at jumping down from Freize's shoulders, so he didn't land in a crouch anymore. He beamed at the two, and then turned curiously as new people came. Waved eagerly to the grumpier looking boy.
The 'roo's eyes caught on the present as that was handed over and something seemed to hit him. He turned and tugged on his Da's pantleg- where was the present!? The present!? Ilusen With the presents delivered Dylan turned his attention to something else for the minute, at least until it was opening time. He noticed a little boy standing across the garden, he was waving at him for some reason so he tugged on his mom's trouser leg to get her attention she looked down at him and smiled "Whats up dylan?" dylan nodded towards the boy standing in the corner and Ilusen waved at the man standing next to the boy and pushed dylan in front of her "Why dont you go say hello?" reluctantly the boy sloped over "hello, me ith dylan, you?" Artificial Anonymity "Oh, sure ma'm." the girl pointed to a rather non-descript table that seemed packed with chocolate and drinks, though a small bit of the table was bare, to put the gifts on. "Thank you for the gift," hopefully this was the right time to say that - her mother had been rather unclear on that point. Having a hard time following all the events at one time, Sho blinked as the new woman seemed to talk to the air, before the small boy with the lady delivered a messily wrapped gift. "Thank you!" Shouko smiled happily, eyes twinkling as she looked at the precious thing. Unsure of how to hold the gift (the paper seemed about ready to fall off, and the shape was indecipherable) she quickly went to put it down on the table. "Uhm.." what did you say to the people you've just met? "Thanks a lot for all the gifts." Freize Freize returned the wave and looked towards the shark-boy with a smile as he approached to speak with Evarobby, hands tucking away into his pockets. Eva brightened at the company, his ears perking and wriggling about as the boy spoke to him... He hesitated a moment, looking as if he were about to say something for a moment or so before turning to tug at the bottom of Freize's shirt hopefully. The little 'roo didn't even know how to talk, or make any vocal noise for that matter, so he fell back on his backup plan. Get Freize to tell his name and stuff. Then maybe he could go play.The weremutt looked between the two toddlers before giving a nod, "His name's Eva." He directed at the shark kid. "He can't talk... Yet." Jadaria "No talking? How can he not ta-- OW!" Kajika was rewarded for his rather rude question with a quick smack across the back of the head, and pouted pointedly at it. That wasn't fair! Not fair at all! What had he done wrong? Nothing, nothing at all! Just said something that seemed natural for him to say...
He grumped, then waved at Dylan - as he was new, then promptly got distracted as Jadaria moved over to set the gift down. He scooted after, eyes going wide at the refreshments on the table; the lithe boy hopped onto his mother's back and onto her shoulders, leaning over and grabbing at the stuff with devious intent...
Only to be swatted at, tugged loose, and dropped back on the ground."Kajika, stop clinging to me and go play... Shouko, where's your mother?" Jadaria chided her son, then asked the little girl the question kindly as her son scooted off near the other children again, sulking and slinking dramatically. Ilusen Dylan looked curiously at the boy, raising an eyebrow in response to Freize "why not mithter?" he demanded looking back to the young boy again, he looked the same age as him and he could talk... well apart from the annoying noise his missing teeth made when he spoke. He pointed towards the boy trying to get him to speak "sthpeak." he said "sthay my name ith eva sthilly. I dont get my mommy to talk thor me, stho why you?"
Ilusen scooted over when she heard her little boy begining to be a bit rude "Oh my... im sorry, Dylan can... mislpace his manners sometimes" she said looking down at the shark boy and glaring meaninfully, to which she got the reciprocation of a stuck out tounge and a disobediant look. Showing off most likely she thought. "I really do appolgize" she said to Freize blushing slightly at the misfortune of having such a naughty little boy Noyama "B-but there'll be a lot of people!" Karoko protested. By time they reached the proper place, the bat Eden's face was bright red. It wasn't that she'd done anything embarassing (not yet, anyway), but the thought of possiblely being around so many strangers still made her stomach turn.
"Quit whining," Noharu snapped at her, releasing her hand and pushing her forward. "I'll be back to get you soon. You best be in there when I get back, or I'll beat you over the head with that wrench of yours."
"BUT-" But, it was pointless to even try and reason with her mother, who was almost out of sight already. How did she even walk that fast? Eyes squinted together, the girl stood stupidly outside and pondered what to do.
Finally, she drew in a deep breath and opened the door, slinking inside and nervously glancing around. This was a bad idea... Ilusen Ilusen had begun to wonder where chalda and seleece had got to and weighed up leaving to go get them or staying, Dylan seemed to be enjoying meeting the other children so she called him over "Dylan, im just going to go get your sister because they seem to be taking a long time, you be good ok? ill be back soon." She kissed him on the forehead to which he scrunched up his face and made a sound of disgust. She made a quick exit looking behind her with a slightly worried expression hoping to god that he didnt cause too much trouble
Great, with his mommy gone he was free to do what he liked. He noticed another new girl approaching she looked older than him so he hesistated slightly and hung around waiting for someone to talk to him. Freize The boy's ears flickered slightly at the questioning, and he only tilted his head and listened, keeping silent. He hesitated for awhile, thinking over their words... He didn't really understand HOW to speak, or how to use his vocal cords... He never had before. He'd tried- kind of- and never was able to figure out the mystery. After awhile he just smiled and shrugged, not letting any negativity towards his little... "Disability" or whatever it was get to him. Freize scratched at the back of his neck for a moment, "We think it's because his animal doesn't make any vocal noises... For some reason, he's just having trouble picking up talking. He understands really well, and he's very good at writing and reading..." He paused, and then looked down more. Eva was gone from his side. He groaned... And hoped his 'roo kept out of trouble. Eva had come across Karoko, and was just following after her from a distance. She seemed reeeeal real familiar. His ears perked and wriggled... Karoko? But... This girl was big, and Karoko was... Hm... Artificial Anonymity "Oh, umm.. she's in the kitchen. I think." Shouko added as an afterthought. Staring around at the (in her mind) pandemonium, Shouko tried to make head and tail of it all. "Everyone feel free to move into the garden - the shieldy-thinger will let you go through, don't worry." Skipping over to the backdoor, the pink-haired girl looked around for her mother. "Mum, the guests have arrived! You hafta get out here sometime, you know.." the girl glared slightly at the chair closest to her, blaming it for her mother's tardiness. "Fine, whatever." Anon rolled her eyes and made her way to the door, grabbing her daughter's hand on the way and tugging the girl along. "Hmm, they seem to be able to entertain themselves well enough." was her observation upon seeing the guests. Ilusen Dylan followed the pink girls direction and went outside into the garden, where he saw what appeared to be a large bubble. Stepping forward cautionaly he touched the bubble and his hand went straight through it. Deeming this new contraption safe he waltzed through and sat down on an available chair looking extremely bored.
He wished his sister was here, so he could have a wrestling match with her. He needed to get her back for this morning when he "let her win."

Mistletoe and Wine "Chrithmas is coming the goose's are getting fat"
If I hear that song one more time.... "Dylan honey, dont you know any other christmas songs?" Ilusen looked at her little boy sitting on the chair opposite her tangling himself up in the ribbons she was using to wrap presents and smiled. "No mommy, goose's ith only one i know." He replied, he wasnt stupid he knew it was getting on his mom's nerves and he liked that fact, which caused him to burst into another round of the song "Chrithmas is coming the goose's are getting fat!" it wouldnt be so bad, if only he knew the whole song Ilusen thought as she tried to wrap the presents she had bought for Chalda, seleece and thier friends at the Eden project.
Dylan got bored of wrapping himself up so reached for the tube of glitter in the middle of the table while Ilusen wasnt looking. He managed to un-screw the cap and shake it all over himself before she looked up to see her little boy wrapped in god knows how many ribbons and glittering that a disco ball "DYLAN?! what have you done?!" she screeched jumping up and taking the now empty tube of glitter off him "Look at you, your covered! and my carpet..." she looked in dismay as she realised she's have to get the hoover out and actually do some housework for once. "Upstairs with you! go get changed and run yourself a bath.."
Dylan giggled and waddled out the room sprinkling glitter as he went. "What am i going to do with that boy.." Ilusen said to herself as she headed for the cupboard where the hoover was kept.
10 Minutes later and the little shark boy was now glitter-free, as was the carpet. He came back downstairs and tugged on his mom's arm, who was busy wrapping the fianl present, to get her attention "Me want prethents!" he whined, Ilusen blinked and looked down at him then realised she had promised she'd take her little boy out shopping to get him a special present before christmas day. She had wanted him to appreciate the hustle and bustle of Durem city like she did. "Oh dear! i tottally forgot, go get your shoes and coat on and ill take you down to the shops"
Ilusen hadn't expected it to be this busy is Durem, maybe people had come to realise that travelling that extra few miles out of Barton was worth it for the huge plethora of shops available. Dylan clung to his mommys hand tight, wary of all the big people pushing past him. Ilusen spotted the shop she was looking for, full of little gadgets which Dylan was sure to love. She tugged him along across the street and entered the shop, where she was greeted by a gush of warm air and the pleasant sound of the chimes above the door tinkiling. Dylan looked around with wide eyes, he had never seen so many toys! He perked up and tugged on his moms arm "Me go?" he asked excitedly "Sure go ahead, but try not to break anything..." Ilusen said the image of him bringing down an entire shelf of expensive items flashing across her mind.
The little shark boy immediately set off down the first isle looking round in wonder at the amount of gadgets stacked high above him. He spotted a strange oblong item which was a lovely blue (his favourite colour!) he picked it up off the shelf and went to show his mom.
"Look" he said brandashing the item in front of her "Oh isnt that beautiful!" Ilusen replied "Do you know what it is?" the boy shook his head and looked confused "you?" he questioned "Yes i do know what it is, its a music player. You put music onto it then put those into your ears" she said pointing towards the headphones "And then you can hear music!" Dylan jumped up and down "Me want, me want!" what a great toy he thought. Ilusen took the Mp3 player off the little boy and winced at the price slightly "Ok then..." she said not wanting to upset him. "You can pick one more thing" she replied as she walked over to the counter to pay for the Mp3. "Would you like it egraved?" he asked and Ilusen nodded "Wow that be great! how about a shark on the right side there?" she said and the cashier whisked it away. A couple of minutes later he appeared again and there was the shark engraved on the side "Thats great, Dylan will love it thank you very much!"
Dylan ran down the next isle where thousands of art and craft packs were stacked, he saw a little paint set and picked it off the shelf, him and mommy can do pictures! he thought as he rushed back towards the counter and placed it on the top beside his music player. Ilusen smiled and gave the cashier the gold then put the items into a carrier bag. "Right then, time to go home!" she said taking her little boys hand and leading him out of the shop. It hadnt been as bad as she thought it would be, she imagined there would be some sort of drama from her... tempermental little boy, but he had behaved perfectly. Dylan was just pleased to have his new toys and carried the bag produly all the way home.

Dear diary,
I cant believe i actually got through the whirlwind that was christmas. Ive never really cooked for more than two people at a time, and this year i had four! Dylan got me up at 6am this morning to open his presents, still extremely hyper (I swear that kid never sleeps! maybe its something to do with his shark soul..) So i sent him back to bed to wait for his sister to get up. But, unfortunately in she came with her rather tired looking mom. So up we all got, and downstairs we went. I must admit it was pretty exciting to see the two rip open thier presents, I never really got to experience that so its great that my kids get to.
After all the presents we're opened the place was a mountain of wrapping paper and boxes so I tried to tidy up as best I could then took both kids into the kitchen for the big present me and Chalda thought it would be a great idea to buy the kids an "house aquarium" (a big fish bowl thecnically) considering thier souls, i thought it would make them feel comfortable and give them something to bond over. It was great, they're eyes lit up when they saw it in the corner. Its proven to be a big hit they seem to have calmed down with the fighting now, at least while that keeps them occupied. Dylan spends most of his day sitting in front of it watching the fish going back and forward. Chalda tells me she's caught seleece trying to jump into the thing! I keep half expecting to walk in there one day and find them both sitting in the tank!
Anyway getting back to to christmas, Dylan seemed to really enjoy himself im so glad the magic of it all caught him up he seemed to walk round in a daze all day! And he loved all his presents which was great, he especially liked the new clothes i got him he's worn his t-shirt i got him when he arrived to death. We have new year to look forward to now, we're off to a fireworks display in the center of Durem then bringing in the new year at home, Im slightly worried Dylan might be scared of the fireworks but its worth a shot anyway.

The next Van Gough... Dylan had been whining on at his mother for almost 2 hours now, and he had begun to get the better of her, he was good at that noticing cracks in his care takers stubborn front. "But mommyyyyyy.. me wanna paiinnntt" he smiled with satisfaction as Ilusen stood up and took the paint set he had gotten for christmas off the top of the fridge. "Im serious Dylan, if you so much as think of giving my walls a lick of paint then I will take those paints off you and throw them straight into the bin!" Ilusen had only just gotten round to finishing the painstaking work of scrubbing the paint off her cream walls, she cringed as he opened the packet got some paper out of the bottom drawer and nearly tipped the whole set off the table.. "You know what... how about you do it in the kitchen darling?" she scooped up the tub of paints and placed them onto the table in the kitchen, at least it was tile flooring in here and not a 4,000 gold carpet to be ruined.
She watched dylan carefully brush a background layer of blue onto his paper, then laughed as he stuck his hands into the pot of green paint and slapped it onto his work, he certainly liked to get messy, those paints were a great way to keep him occupied, but they certainly were not good for her health. She watched him hawk eyed waiting for him to tip a pot onto the floor, or wipe his hands on his face. There wasnt long to wait as a few seconds later Dylan, and his brand new clothes were covered in a whole pot of blue paint. Ilusen screeched slightly and swapped her little boy with a kitchen towel, silently thanking god that he had moved from the living room.
She wrapped a bin bag round him to stop any other spillages and sat on the chair next to him "Why dont you paint a nice picture huh? instead of making a mess? paint you and your sister" Dylan scrunched his nose up at the thought but slowly came round to the idea and with a fresh piece of paper set out on his task. "Mommy, go way" he said ushering her out of the room "surprise!" he said as he shut the door behind her. Defeated Ilusen sat on the sofa and watched the TV for a bit, unable to concentrate properly for fear of the little terror locked away in her kitchen, images of a brand new "decorated by dylan" room when she went in. Biting her nails she watched the clock and willed herself to have some faith in the boy. Unable to do so she stood up and opened the door slowly, to be greeted by a smiling little boy completely paint free (apart from the earlier accident) brandishing a painting for her to look at. Ilusen smiled as she saw what he had done for her, a tear coming to her eye (honestly so soppy!) She ruffled his hair and leant down to hug him "Well done darling, i absolutely love it!" she said as she stuck it onto the fridge door with a magnet. "Good youth like it mommy, me wanna be painther!" Ilusen just laughed.

Chasing Ducks! Sayuri_Nitta Sayuri shook out the checked picnic blanket, laying it on the grass. Yamya was currently stalking a bird, well trying to anyway. The cheeky little songster was teasing the feline Eden toddler, flitting away and landing again in another place. Sayuri had brought Yamya out to a lake near the Gambino Isle, the weather being unseasonably warm that day, and the snow long gone here. She stood the basket on the blanket, and watched Yamya, her eyes flicking from the girl to other people around them that had the same idea; families, and couples, and the occasional person walking their dog.
The sound of the water, and the ducks swimming on the surface of said lake could be heard from their vantage point on a small hill. Ilusen "Must get fit..." Ilusen panted as she broke from her run into a slight jog, then to a stroll and finally stopping to catch her breath. Her new years resoultion hadnt been going quite as well as she had originally planned. Dylan was way ahead of her, and still going, honestly where on earth did he get all that energy from?! Ilusen thought. She thought about shouting for him to stop but he was off up the hill and out her sight before she had time to. So she carried on after him cursing herself for taking him with her.
Of course Dylan was having a whale of a time, outrunning his mom and being as much trouble as he possibly could. He stopped suddenly when he reached the top of the hill a black haired girl caught his surprise he watched he trying to catch a small bird and laughed when it flew away everytime she moved towards it. Thinking he could do much better he ran over and leaped towards the bird. Unfortunately Dylan didnt know the meaning of the word sneaky and made as much noise as possible, sending the bird flying off down the hill. "Oopth.." he looked at the girl and didnt really know what to say. Sayuri_Nitta Sayuri looked up from unwrapping a plate of biscuits, startled by the sudden appearance of the boy. She watched, wondering what Yamya would do, putting the plate down in case she needed to intervene in some way.
Yamya scowled at this intruder; he'd made the bird go away. She felt her tail fluffing and stalked on all fours towards the boy.
'Bird!' she grumbled, her ears twitching. Ilusen Dylan didnt take the reaction too good and scowled back "No my thault!" he stomped his foot and was just about to throw a tantrum when Ilusen appeared from behind him, face red and panting for her life "There.... you are! dont you..... dare..... run awa...." She stopped, aware of the atmosphere between Dylan and the cat girl he was standing next to "Dylan, i hope... your being nice... to this lovely little girl" she said giving him a stern look and trying to catch her breath at same time. Sayuri_Nitta Yamya blinked at Dylan's teeth...they were pretty funny looking;
'Was..' she grumped, her tail fluffing up as an out of breath woman crested the hill. Sayuri stood, walking up to Yamya, and smiled at Ilusen.
'Your..Dylan is it? He just scared away the bird Yamya was trying to catch. She knows she isnt supposed to,' Yamya pouted at the words, poking her tongue out at Dylan.
'But she still tries anyway.' she smiled at Ilusen.
'I'm Sayuri.' Ilusen Ilusen smiled back, used to appologizing for her son she took it in her stride "I should of guessed, he's always causing trouble.." she panted slightly, her breath returning to her "Oh.. Im Ilusen" she replied "We're very sorry to disturb your picnic, arent we Dylan?" she looked down at the shark boy, who was sticking his tounge out at Yamya in return to her gesture, and shook her head "He's a bit of a.... handful"
Dylan grinned at his mom with the few pointy gnashers he had, then did the same to Yamya as he noticed she was staring at them. Sayuri_Nitta 'Nice to meet you,' Sayuri seated herself on the large blanket once more.
'That's quite all right,' she looked at Yamya who was holding her tail now, looking at the shark boy.
'Wat?' Yamya toddled closer, pointing at Dylan's teeth.
'Don't point,' Sayuri chided. She smiled at Ilusen.
'You're welcome to join us if you like? We were going to eat and then go down and feed the ducks.' Ilusen No look at my teef!" he closed his mouth as best he could, aware that his lisp sounded very silly. "Dylan, dont be rude to the little girl!" Ilusen patted her little boy on the head and turned back towards Sayuri "Oh, thank you very much! im sure Dylan wont mind the chance to make a new friend, although it looks like they got off to a bad start huh?" she laughed and sat down beside Sayuri, "I dont think Dylans seen ducks before, they are never here when we come, i guess it was the cold weather making them hide somewhere" Sayuri_Nitta 'I think they have a shelter somewhere,' Sayuri said as she pulled out two more paper plates. She carried on unwrapping food plates; sandwiches, sausage rolls, cheeses on sticks, crisps and cakes were all unwrapped and put in the middle. She fished out juice boxes; she had brought more then just two as Yamya had a habit of playing 'water the grass' with her drinks rather then just consuming them.
Yamya giggled at the lisp, cradling her tail tip next to her face.
'Teef..' she opened her own mouth, showing off the needle like canines which were her only teeth to have pushed through so far. Ilusen "not thunny..." Dylan grumped, crossing his arms and sitting down on the grass looking rejected. He watched the girl as she opened her mouth flashing her own teeth at him, she didnt have many either, maybe she was the same? "mommy shays my teef come shoon" cheering up a little he flashed his single row of pointy teeth also. He watched her tail in fascination, he hadnt seen anything like it before so was curious as to what it was.
Ilusen kept one eye on Dylan as she chatted with Sayuri, she never knew what he was going to do next. "Would you like some help with the unpacking?" she offered not wanting to let her do all the work Sayuri_Nitta Yamya went onto all fours, crawling right up to Dylan. Her tail tip was swishing behind her now as she'd let go of her tail when she knelt down, and she sniffed at him, ears twitching. Sayuri glanced over, rolling her eyes. The girl was very feline at this stage, and she often did things like...Sayuri giggled as Yamya batted at Dylans shoulder with a hand.
'Wat..you?' she managed, still at odds with alot of words.
Sayuri shook her head;
'It's all out now,' she gestured to the spread in front of them as she looked at Ilusen again.
'Do help yourself.' Ilusen Dylan wasnt used to such close contact so jumped backwards slightly as she batted at his shoulder. Eyes still on her tail he followed it as it swished back and forth, only taking them off it when she spoke. He blinked trying to take in the question, it was slightly harder with her limited wording so it took him a few minutes to compute before he replied "Shark, grrrr" he flashed his teeth again to back up this statement then giggled.
Ilusen smiled at her little boy, who was being unusually well behaved "He must like your little girl, ive never seen him be so well behaved in ages." She said to sayuri as she leant forward and picked up a cheese stick "Thank you for inviting us, its very kind of you i hope we arent being too intruding." Sayuri_Nitta 'I'm surprised at Yamya's behaviour myself..she can be quite, well, spiteful I guess you could say.' Sayuri nodded, chewing on a chocolate biscuit as she put two juice boxes aside for the toddlers.
'Oh no. To be honest its nice to talk to someone, I live quite far from here, its isolated really, and you can only put up with babyish talk for so long.' she chuckled.
Yamya's tail fluffed a little at the teeth baring, then calmed again as the boy made no attempt at lunging or any other aggressive behaviour towards her.
'..sark? Sh-ark.' Yamya articulated slowly, rolling the word in her mouth.
'Wat is sark?' Ilusen "Well, i guess they're a match made in heaven" Ilusen laughed "Dylan is exactly the same." She glanced over to her little boy, just to check he hadnt done any major damage to his immediate surroundings just yet, all was good so far. "Its nice talking to you too, i live with my good friend Chalda, she's Dylans sister seleece's mom, but shes been rather busy lately so we havent had much a chance to talk"
"s-h-a-r-k." Dylan repeated slowly and idignantly "Um... shark ith... shark" he scuffed his feet on the grass he hadnt ever thought about it before, and come to think of it he didnt actually know what a shark was, apart from that it lived in the sea. He shrugged then toddled over to Ilusen patting her on the shoulder "Mom, wat ith shark?" he asked patting her slightly harder to get her attention "Dylan you know not to interupt, its rude" Ilusen scolded "What do you mean whats a shark? Its an animal who lives in the sea, with big teeth, and it eats fish." She rolled her eyes as the little boy ran back over to Yamya to tell her the news. Sayuri_Nitta 'It's good to get out once in a while,' Sayuri remarked.
'Oh he has a sister? Do they get on then?' she smiled indulgently as Dylan came over and asked his question, chuckling as he went back over to Yamya.
Yamya blinked as Dylan went off to the woman he had arrived with. She flopped onto the grass, landing on her bottom and almost squashing her tail. She tugged up the grass, looking up when he came back;
'Yoo mummy no wat sark?' Ilusen "Yeth shark is big aninamal who live in sea, wif big teef!" Dylan nodded with satisfaction and plonked himself down across from Yamya picking at the grass like she was "Want food?" he asked after a while, remembering the big picnic he had just walked away from.
Ilusen grinned "Yes, he does have a sister... but i wouldnt exactly say they get on. I dont think they can go for 5 seconds without biccering on at each other, and some of the fights they get themselves into are quite scary, its hard to break them up." She bit her lip absent mindedly then added "But they dont actually hurt each other, so there's gotta be some love there huh?" Sayuri_Nitta Yamya tilted her head.
'Yoo fish den?' she asked. She knew fish lived in the sea and couldnt work out what the boy was doing here. She nodded, scrambling to her feet and toddling over to the picnic area.
'Well siblings are often like that. I'm sure when they are a little older they might be able to tolerate each other's company better.' Sayuri looked over as Yamya and Dylan approached.
'Uh oh, two hungry toddlers heading this way.' she chuckled. Ilusen
Ilusen glanced over to the advancing toddlers and smiled "So they are." she said as Dylan neared. He sat down beside her and replied to yamya "yeth me phish" Ilusen giggled at his lisp, she really shouldnt but it was too funny. Dylan scowled at her
"Im sorry darling" she appolgized then looked over to sayuri "His teeth will probably start coming in soon im so looking forward to the teething pains he'll get..." she gritted her teeth and ruffled his hair slightly "Me hungy, food?" dylan said as he helped himself to a cheese stick and some crisps.
Sayuri_Nitta Sayuri handed over a tuna fish sandwich as Yamya approached. The little feline toddler sniffed it and then screwed her face up;
'This fish?'
Sayuri nodded.
'Yes, you know it is. It's your favourite.' she wondered why Yamya wasnt tucking into it as usual. Yamya burst into tears;
'No wan ea Dylan!' she sobbed. Sayuri patted Yamya, scooping her close.
'No no, its not a Dylan fishie, its another fishie. See Dylan is a BIG fish who likes little fish for eating.'
Yamya looked up, nose and eyes running;
'ealy?' she managed.
'Yes..its not Dylan fishie at all.' Ilusen Ilusen looked in puzzlement towards dylan as the little girl burst into tears, had he said something to upset her? she raised an eyebrow at him and he looked idignant "No me." he said backing himself up "She fink fith samwich is me" he giggled innocently and tucked into one himself
Ilusen rolled her eyes at him, he could be so greedy sometimes. She tried to comfort yamya "Oh dear, that fish is tuna fish, not shark. Dylan is eating it too look" she pointed to her little boy sitting across from her, who was helping himself to a second sandwich. Sayuri_Nitta 'See?' Sayuri patted Yamya, pulling out a tissue from a pack in the basket. Yamya honked on it noisily, handing back the sogginess and Sayuri put it in the bag she had brought along for rubbish.
'..kay,' she hiccuped, sliding off Sayuri and stuffing the sandwich in her mouth.
'Yu like phishy too?' she managed, hugging her tail to herself as she watched Dylan eat. Ilusen Dylan chomped down another sandwich and nodded "Yeth" he said with a mouth full, he glanced towards his mother warily concerned she might of noticed him talking with his mouth full. She always got angry at that, and he didnt really understand why, if he wanted to talk he would. "Pisthy good." he said grinning then standing up again "Bored!" he exclaimed to Ilusen, who was finishing a sandwich of her own. Sayuri_Nitta 'They bounce back so quick don't they?' Sayuri commented as she watched Yamya shovelling the food in her mouth then scramble to her feet.
Yamya had wiped her mouth on her tail, leaving crumbs and tuna flakes on the fur.
'Wan see 'ucks?' she asked, pointing down the grass to the inviting looking lake where the poor fowl were unaware of the small horrors about to descend on them. Ilusen "what is uck?" dylan questioned, he turned to his mom in search of an answer "Oh ducks! they are birds who swim on the water dylan" Ilusen smiled, "shall we go see them?" she asked turning to Sayuri aswell "If you dont mind of coruse." Sayuri_Nitta 'We should go with them,' Sayuri agreed, quickly covering the open food up so that flies wouldnt land on it. She stood, walking slowly after Yamya who had tugged on Dylan's sleeve before running off down the slope towards the lake.
Yamya ran fast to the edge, pinwheeling by the water and then flopping back. Her ears twitched in relief...the one thing this little cat girl didnt want to do was go in the water! She turned to see where Dylan was, before peering across the lake at the distant floating waterfowl. Ilusen Dylan ran after yamya down the hill, Ilusen bit her lip nervously as he hurtled towards the water, she half wanted to run after him but decided that she wasnt up to running anymore. She still hadnt recovered fully from chasing him round the park an hour ago.
Much to her relief he came to a sudden halt just on the waters edge and looked over to yamya, "Water good" he said and half grinned half smirked. And with that he took a dive off the edge of the water and landed with an almighty splash into it, the ducks who were a few meters away from this utter chaos yet floated down unawares.
Ilusen closed her eyes, utterly fuming at her little boy, then ran down to where he was splashing about totally ignorant of the utter fuss he had just made "Dylan... Dylan!!..." she had wished he had a full name so that her utter irritation could be shown in one statement "GET OUT OF THE WATER THIS INSTANT!" she bellowed. "Im so sorry Sayuri... he is so naughty sometimes!" Sayuri_Nitta Yamya ducked out the way just in time as the spray Dylan's water dive splashed about on the lakes edge. Her tail bushed up, fur bristling at the boy's behaviour. She had almost gotten wet! Sayuri hid her laughter behind a hand, then nodded at Ilusen.
'That's okay...children misbehave, there wasnt anything to be done to stop him. His element is the water after all.' Ilusen Dylan looked sheepish and sloped out of the water, dripping from head to toe he tried not to giggle at his mom, she always looked funny when she was mad. "Thorry...." he said looking at his shoes, which incidentally were flooded with water and made a squelch as he walked.
"Its ok Dylan, just dont do that again, its dangerous in water you dont know about, there are things called currents which can drag you under.." She bent down and took his shoes and socks off so he wasnt too uncomfortable. "Fortunately its a warm day today dylan, so ill think you'll dry off quickly. Now go feed the ducks with yamya" she ushered him back down to the side of the river "And stay out of the water this time!" she shouted back to him, rolling her eyes to sayuri "Seriously, i dont know what im going to do with that boy!" Sayuri_Nitta Yamya wrinkled her nose, ears twitching as she tried not to giggle at the soggy mess that was Dylan. Sayuri handed the cat girl a bag of bread crusts for the ducks, and she pointed to where the ducks where paddling about.
'Come..' Yamya gestured to Dylan before pattering off towards the waterfowl. Sayuri pulled out the fan tucked in her obi and fluttered it against her face, grinning over it at Ilusen.
'Well you definately have your hands full there.' she snapped it shut again.
'But he seemed to know he had done wrong which is a good thing.' Ilusen Dylan obeyed and followed Yamya down to the waters edge "Gimme bread." he said reaching towards the bag and taking out an handful. He looked back towards his mom who gave him a smile of approval "And here i was thinking this was going to be a great adventure, but he's such a handful sometimes. Dont get me wrong though, i wouldnt swap him for anything in the world"
Dylan laughed as the ducks swam towards the lumps of bread now floating in the water, snapping it up with thier beaks "Duckie fthunny!" he said to Yamya . Sayuri_Nitta 'Well I imagine you wouldnt. I wouldnt give Yamya up either...despite her wanting to pull up all my garden plants.' Sayuri rolled her eyes.
Yamya held open the bag for Dylan, and watched as the ducks snapped up the bread with flicks of their beaks. Her pupils dilated a little, her tail swishing as she went still. Sayuri glanced over, noticing Yamya's sudden stillness and cleared her throat, breaking the spell. Yamya shook herself and went back to throwing the bread pieces.
'And that..' Sayuri spoke quietly.
'I have to keep an eye on her around anything small and prey like.' Ilusen "I can imagine it must be difficult keeping her from catching stuff.." Ilusen said nodding sagely making sure to keep an eye on her troublesome toddler aswell "Dylan doesnt seem to be showing many character traits just yet, he's a bit bad tempered sometimes, and he loves water, as you could tell, but other than that nothing major just yet. He hasnt started tearing things apart with his teeth" she laughed slightly, hoping he wouldnt actually start doing that.
Dylan watched as Yamya went entirely still wondering what she was doing, he followed her gaze and realised she was looking at the ducks "You no go in water, you sscared" he teased "You no get ducks!" Sayuri_Nitta 'Yes. I require eyes in the back of my head at times.' Sayuri tugged on a kimono sleeve, smoothing the silken material down with two fingers.
'Dylan won't necessarily take on all the traits of soul of the animal, I guess you'll have to wait and see like us all.'
Yamya turned to look at Dylan, pupils a little dilated still. She blinked at him, then looked back at the ducks. She knew she wouldnt go into the water as well, but the ducks did leave it...not that she could go after them with Sayuri around. She sighed, tail swishing a little and brushed crumbs from her hands.
'I not scared..water is stinky..' she declared with an upturned tilt of her nose.
'You stinky too.' Ilusen "Me not stinky!!" Dylan protested, he stuck his tounge out at Yamya and thought about pushing her into the water, looking over to his mom he managed to restrict the urge and trooped back over to where Ilusen was standing next to Sayuri, leaving yamya to watch the ducks on her own. "Mommy, me tired, time home?" he said putting his hand over his mouth as he yawned. Ilusen looked at her watch and was shocked when she discovered they had been there nearly the whole day
"Wow, look at the time! We better get back to the house, your sister will be waiting.." She turned to sayuri and smiled "Thank you so much for the great day, i think we should do this again sometime, Dylan certainly had fun, didnt you?" said looked down at her little boy and he nodded his head, smiling up to Sayuri "Yeth, bye bye" he said as he ran off down the hill towards home "See you soon then?" Ilusen said giving her a quick hug then running off towards her rapidly escaping little boy.

"Lollypop!"
Ilusen wriggled on the leather seat of the barber shop uncomfortablly, she had been waiting for almost 10 minutes now and she was begining to become impatient, and from the whiny sounds coming from her son next to her she could tell he was feeling exactly the same.
Dylans hair had gotten really out of hand, his fringe flopped down into his eyes and he was always pushing it backwards, so Ilusen had decided to take him down to the barbers and get it all chopped off. This was something Dylan was not looking forward to, and he had proceeded to make a huge fuss all morning, it was a miracle the pair were even here right now.
"Whos next please?" Called the barber and Ilusen smiled, standing up she walked towards the chair to inform the barber of her unwilling son. "He's a bit nervous, first hair cut and all.." She half whispered, the barber just nodded and smiled at Dylan "Come on little man, lets see what I can do for you today" Dylan stood up and sloped towards the chair, Ilusen hoisted him up and stood beside him.
"So what can I do for you?" inquired the barber.
10 minutes later Dylan was striding out of the shop with a lollypop in one hand and his mothers hand in the other. His new hair was alot shorter and spiked up at the top, Ilusen admired her sons new haircut and decided that the barber had done a brilliant job.
