Gullien eyed the rather shiny new person. Red. Whole lotta red. Hokay... She perked when she saw the small Mishap girl standing behind the woman though. Score! Female and the right age. "Hi." She greeted back simply. Best to just jump to the chase. "Sorry to bother you. I'm your neighbor." She flopped a hand in the rough direction of her room. "Gullien. And this is Thylassa. I was wondering if I could borrow some clothes from you. Lassa has had a rather abrupt growing spurt and I don't have anything to dress her in so I can take her to the store and get new clothes." As if to prove the point, Lassa's oversized shirt slipped off one shoulder, the collar falling almost all the way down to her elbow. Geez, she might as well have had dressed the kid in a burlap sack.
Lassa peered around Gullien's leg, hanging onto Gullien's pants as she stared at the two new people. One was... really shiny. Shiny on the bottom and black on top and all red hair. The other one behind the shiny one looked like she was her age though. She was all furry, too. Curious now, Lassa hauled herself up by pulling on Gullien's pants, causing the ninja to clutch at them least they fall off. Lassa still didn't have the hang of walking, but she was good at getting vertical. "Ha?"

Haze gave Lassa a quick look, did she truly want to lend her own charge's clothing to a complete stranger? Neighbor or not it wasn't as simple as borrowing a bottle of brandy, clothing was personal, intimate. It reveals so much of a person's character, styles, choices, tastes. Her mental litany would have gone on longer had she remembered Gullien and Thylassa's names had been those on the card they received a few months ago. Her expression took a drastic change from the cold, unaffected mask to a warm, and delighted smile.
"By Yrast, you're the ones who gave us that charming little card. Come in, come in, I shall have my servant bring us some refreshments." Haze instructed as she pulled open the door wider.
Retta cocked her head to the side at Lassa, she wasn't sure which of Lassa's eyes was she going to look at.
"H'lo..." she shyly greeted, and would have clutched at Haze's legs had her guardian not suddenly moved to welcome the pair into her room.

Gullien blinked at the red person's sudden change in demenor. Cards? Did she mean the New Years cards she and Lassa had sent out all those months ago? She blinked again as the door was suddenly pulled open. Yrast? Servents? This was going to be... interesting. She wasn't wild about walking into this unknown person's territory, but... Lassa needed pants. "Thank you." She said simply, walking into the room, with Lassa still clinging onto her leg like a little koala. "Your generosity is appreciated." Who was this person? She had no idea of her name at all and no idea how to admit that.
Lassa clung to Gullien's leg, eyeing the other Mishap with her normal eyes while letting her bobble eyes take in the new area they were in. Where was this? "He-yo." She tried back, still not very good with words. Unsure of what else to add to that, she did her best to copy Gullien. "'Lassa." She told the other girl in her best attempt at an introduction. Not sure of what else to add, she swung her arm around Gullien's other leg and peered at the fluffy girl from between Gullien's legs, little caring that she had rather effectively stopped her guardian from moving.

"Think nothing of it." Haze responds as she headed towards a door. She disappeared through the doorway that leads to her room. She returns a few moments later, carrying several dresses and a few pairs of pants. Most of them had frills, lace and bows sewn on while others had intricate patterns printed on them. She didn't want to tell Gullien that Retta had refused to wear these, and so did Huni's charge (though the latter was more because Huni viewed it as an insult to accept rejects).
"Here, you and your charge are welcome to select from any of these pieces."
"Lassa." Retta echoed, allowing her tongue to become accustomed to the new word. She cocked her head to the side at Lassa's position, wasn't it more comfortable to be on the floor? She would never have thought to cling at Haze like that. Hide maybe, but not cling. It showed she was too dependent on Haze and her guardian had told her image was everything.
Her brown eyes blinked curiously upon seeing Haze return with the rejected clothing. She didn't like them and would never ever consider wearing them. Hence she didn't consider them hers. Thankfully, because if she had there would be hell to pay...

Gullien stared at the pile of fabric Red was carrying in. Were those... clothes? She recognized the pants or at least something that was some sort of weird mutation of pants. She couldn't make heads or tails of the rest of it. Hopefully she'd be able to identify what it was when the clothes started being seperated out. She'd never seen so much in one place. The little tea cup Mishap must certainly love clothes. Or something.
"Wow..." she said weakly, feeling that that the clothing wad probably deserved some sort of special recognition. "That... that is certainly a lot of clothes. I'm sure we'll find something Lassa will look great in in there. Thank you so much." She bowed formally, awkwardly getting a hand down between her legs to push Lassa down in a bow as well.
"Okay. Wanna see if there's anything that calls to you in there, Lassa?"
She staggered rather awkwardly over to Red, Lassa still hanging onto her.
"Lassa." Lassa replied to the other girl, not sure how to ask for the other girl's name. Maybe if she repeated her name the other girl would figure it out? Her attempt was cut short though as Gullien pushed down lightly on her head, pushing her into a bow and pulling her attention back to the woman. What was that? Was that a blanket. She blinked as her eyes caught on a lone pants leg. Were those all clothes? She'd never seen so many clothes before! She'd never seen so many things put on clothes either. Bows and meshy stuff like Gullien wore and other pieces of clothes...
Awed, she simply hung off of Gullien's legs, letting Gullien more or less drag her over to the pile.

"Oh goodness me, there is no need to bow. A mere thank you would have sufficed." Haze laughed, though inwardly she quite enjoyed the bow, it reminded her of her servants back in Wyndre Manor. "What sort of style does your little one prefer? Pants or dresses?" she asks, she might be able to help them choose.
The sheep Mishap curstied (or did her best to make one) to the other girl before pointing to herself.
"Retta." She introduced simply, smiling at the girl who had multiple eyes. She toddled after them as the pair headed over to pick from the clothes. Retta wanted to give her advice on which pieces were nice, but then again she did remember why she refused to touch these clothes in the first place.
They were just too extravagant for her tastes.

Gullien glanced down at Lassa, who thoughtfully tugged at one of Gullien's pant's legs. "She prefers pants, I suppose. I've never tried to put her in a dress." Probably best not to mention that Gullien had absolutely no idea whatsoever about how to even wear a dress, let alone put it on something small and squirmy. Besides, she'd just keep Lassa in diapers most of the time. Why make more work for herself?
"Actually, she really likes just wearing diapers most of all, but I certainly can't take her out like that. Although it doesn't matter too much which she likes best; she can't wear anything that's tight across her chest. She's got another eye and it's sensitive." Lassa beamed. Apparently recognizing one of those words, she pulled up the loose t-shirt and showed off her closed chest eye to Red and... what was her name? Rhetta? "Yes, that's great. Thank you, Lassa." Gullien told her, pulling down the t-shirt again with a touch of embarrassment. Way to flash everybody, kiddo. "The most important thing is something that doesn't put pressure on that eye." She gently shook Lassa off her leg, nudging the little newt over to Rhetta. "Do you think you have anything like that?" Gullien asked Red hopefully, moving to stand next to the pile.
Lassa tottered a step or two from where Gullien had moved her before collapsing to the floor again, waving cheerfully at Rhetta as she went down squarely on her padded bottom. "'Etta!" It was simplier and easier to just scuttle on all fours over to where the other good stood. "'Etta home?" She asked, looking around the room. Was this were Rhetta lived? It didn't look like her home at all!
"'Etta room?"

Haze didn't quite know what to make of Lassa's penchant to be dressed only in diapers. Was it a sign of a budding exhibitionist? The Silarian woman only hoped it wasn't so, because if the other Mishap were to become one Haze would have to keep Retta as far away from her as possible. The last thing she wanted for the Sheep Mishap was to pick up any unsavory ideas.
All this, however was kept concealed behind a smile and eyes tapered into jovial slits.
"I see, perchance this pair would suit her?" Haze suggests, pulling out a pair of seagreen pants from the pile. They were made of a sort of denim, only a little softer and less tough. A criss-cross of glitter and ribbons were sewn directly onto the fabric, they did nothing to hinder movement but they were quite... decorative.
"As for her top..." Haze looked thoughtful for a moment before selecting a white mesh shirt with a pale green sleeveless undershirt. "This would have looked darling on Retta, and I'm certain it would look just as nice on your charge."
"Yes, room mine." The sheep Mishap nodded with a slight emphasis on the word 'mine.' "What Lassa room?" she asked, wondering how different were their living conditions. Did the other Mishaps have toys in every corner and lots of beanies and plushies? If they didn't, Retta couldn't help but feel somewhat smug about it.

Lassa tilted her head thinking. 'Etta's room was big and full of stuff. It was pretty nice. Not nice like her room, but nice! "Lassa room... there." She said, pointing in the direction of where thought they came from. She thought for a moment. How to describe it. "Big. Umm... got Pola' un Mona." More thinking. "Is wet." She finally described. That was everything there that was important besides Gullien. Polar and Mona and the constant comfortable mist in her room. 'Etta's room would be nicer with those. But it was still a good room. "'Etta room nice." She offered.
"Hey, kiddo." Gullien tapped Lassa on the head, smiling as all four eyes turned to her. "Wanna try on something new? You'd probably look really good in it."
The bobble eyes blinked as Lassa thought about it, eyeing the clothes in the shiny person's hands before nodding enthusiastically. They were shiny too!
Gullien crouched and held out the pair of pants, half-helping Lassa into them and half-stuffing her in before she could fall over again. They fit pretty well, even over the impromptu diaper. Retta must be a little taller than Lassa was. Fortunately Lassa had worn pants before, so she didn't put up the fuss she might have for an unfamiliar outfit like one of those dresses. Gullien didn't have the suffer the indigity of admitting she had no idea how to put a dress on Lassa either. "Hands up. Reach for the sky." Lassa obediently lifted her hands in the air, letting Gullien pull the shirt over her head. Like the pants, it was a shade too large, meaning it was comfortably loose across her chest and her chest eye. "How's that working for you?"
Lassa wobbled a few steps before collapsing by the shiny person. Shaking one leg, she eyed the movement and the sparkle of the glitter and ribbons. Pretty... very pretty. Curious, she plucked gently at some of the ribbon, wondering vaguely what it tasted like. She declined to pull it off when she found it didn't feel appetizing, despite the appealing shiny and shape. Instead, she did the next best thing. She scooted around to face 'Etta, throwing her arms wide so the little sheep could see her new bounty. "'Etta!"
Gullien watched Lassa finger the clothes and then show them off with a sigh of relief. No immediate destruction and they basically fit. Looked pretty good too, although it wasn't something she would have chosen to stick the kid in. "Looks like she likes them. What do you think?" she asked, defering to Red who seemed to have a strong opinion on clothes.

"The colors certainly match her, can she move in the properly? Retta dislikes pants since they don't have a hole for her tail and teacup." Haze explains, eyeing Lassa thoughtfully.
"Is nice." The sheep mishap nods, even though she didn't like the clothes personally, they did look good on Lassa. "Lassa pretty." she adds with a small blush, her tail swishing to and fro.

Gullien watched Lassa's scooting for a moment before nodding. "I think she'll be okay. She has a tail too, but it's pretty small. It's probably not as sensitive as Retta's." She glanced down at Retta's long tail, noticing the tea cup for the first time. A teacup. Huh... How did she even fit it in pants?
"What kind of a Mishap is Retta?" Gullien asked curiously. "Lassa's compenents were newt and bobble eyes. Is Retta part sheep?" It would explain the hair. Although not the teacup.
Lassa blinked at 'Etta for a moment before turning her top two eyes to Gullien. "Was itty?"
"Pretty means she thinks you look nice Lassa. You should say thank you."
Nice? Pretty meant nice? "Ank yu, 'Etta." Lassa told the other girl very seriously. If 'Etta said something nice, she should say something nice too. "'Etta itty too!" 'Etta was pretty, like soft blanket Gullien used when it was really cold with all the patterns. ""Etta soft." She added happily. Soft was the best part of the pretty blanket, after all and 'Etta looked real soft, like Totoro.

"Yes, she is in fact. I was informed briefly that she was created with wool legwarmers and a teacup. The rest of her history is vague at best." Haze explained. "Does Lassa have any... abilities of sorts?" she asked, it wasn't an innocent question truthfully. Haze wanted to asses how many Mishaps would prove to be competition for her charge. But her bright smile and the sparkle in her eyes radiated charm and a genuine curiosity. Oh, Haze was wonderful at maintaining her image, the Silarian only hoped Retta would be gifted in that department as well.
The Sheep Mishap bleated in delight, her cheeks blushing slightly as she adjusted the pleats of her skirt. So Lassa likes soft things, perhaps she would like a Sheepie then. Retta would have to make one for her, most definately in order to ensure they would remain on positive terms.
"Thank you." Retta responded. "Lassa have dolls?" she asked, in the event Lassa did have stuffed animals, Retta could only hope the other Mishap didn't have any sheep ones.

"Abilites? Well, she's an excellent swimmer. She could swim even as an infant, which I'm told is unusual. Other than that, I'm not sure. I'm positive that there's something unusual about her chest eye, but I'm sure it'll all come out in time. Other than that, I don't believe so. I'm certain she doesn't have any magical abilities." Gullien said the last firmly, arms crossed. Lassa just... didn't. Just because she was composed of magic, that didn't mean that she had to inheriently have any magical abilities. And that was going to be that. " And Rhetta? Does she have any abilities?" Gullien asked, curious. What abilities did tea and clothes have, anyway? The ability to be made from plants?
Lassa considered the question for a moment, brow puckering. "Dolls?" She'd seen dolls before, in magazines and once at the store but she didn't actually own any. Totoro didn't count, probably. Dolls looked like people. Normal people. But the Nim were like dolls, for not normal people. They were cool and you played with them. "Lassa gots Mona." She told Retta happily. "Dis big an' wings an' all blue. Dat's only one. Lassa gots an-ni-mials dolls though. Tororo an' a dog an' a da... a dagon." She didn't have too many animals though. Polar kept getting into them, the big jerk. " 'Etta got dolls?" She parroted the question back. Maybe 'Etta had Nim too?

"I'm not all too certain whether Retta possesses any magical abilities as well. But she does show remarkable dexterity, especially whenever she makes these little plush dolls." Haze gestured to a small sheep-like toy on the cabinet. "Lassa is a swimmer, you say? How interesting, I'm sure she'll become even more skilled as she grows older."
Retta's ears flickered absently as Lassa told her of her collection of dolls. "Have only one." She confessed almost in embarrassment. She had tons of beanies and balls, and books and other toys. Oddly enough, her only doll was the sheep plush she made. She pointed it out to Lassa,
"Lassa wan sheepie?" she offered shyly, oh it would be no problem for her to make a plush for Lassa.

Gullien glanced over at Lassa worriedly. "Yes... she probably will..." Frankly, she'd be happy if Lassa became LESS skilled as she got older. This swimming thing was just no good at all, in her opinion. Shaking herself slightly, Gullien looked over at the sheep doll Red was pointing too. "Retta sews? She made that whole thing herself, huh?" She wasn't sure if she should pick it up or not to look at it... best not too. Still, even from here she could see that was very skilled for someone Retta's age. "Wow, that's really good! Did you teach her?"
Lassa put a hand in her mouth, concerned. Wan sheep? But... that was 'Etta's sheep, right? Was 'Etta offering her her sheep? "Sheep 'Etta's... right?" She asked, worried. She WOULD like the sheep and normally she'd have jumped all over the offer, being rather open-minded on the concept of private property... but 'Etta's sheep seemed special, like Totoro. Lassa would NEVER give away Totoro. Maybe to Gullien, but that wasn't the same at ALL.
Gullien glanced down, catching the tail end of the exchange and jumping to the same conclusion that Lassa did. "Oh, Retta, you don't have to give Lassa your sheep. You made that yourself, right? It must be very special to you. But it's a very nice offer. Isn't it, Lassa?"
Lassa nodded enthusiastically. "Sheep nice! Is itty!"
