((Yup! She's watching the little situation unfold from a distance. All the other kids aren't in the nursery! Poor dear. She'll probably try to escape. 3nodding ))
Well, that was certain better, Reira conceded. For a teen, she hadn't exactly latched onto the idea of dating, and she understood love to be the stuff that bonded friends and family, not that fueled the flames of passion. Rather innocent, she took compliments such as this to mean that her eyes looked nice, and simply that. "Thankyou." She smiled, glad that there really was something clearly good in him to say such a nice thing. "You're quite handsome yourself."

Alturius chuckled. "You're definatly a looker yourself, I won't argue with that, and thank you, I do think so myself," He smiled and kept dancing with her. "Perhaps we can get to know each other... Better... later?" Alturius was dropping induendo now, hoping it'd catch.
Polgara spotted the child and smiled. "What are you watching little one?" The elder said with a warm smile. "Something interesting I hope?"

Reira managed to bring her hand up long enough to brush some hair away from her face self-consciously. She really didn't understand some things, and it seemed to be about the catch up with her. "Of course," she replied with a sweet smile. She wanted to see what there was to this guy, besides all his talk of becoming King of Everything. Surely there were so many other things that proved he really was a good guy. Like his knack for dancing.
"Oh!" Laugh-A-Lot exclaimed, surprised. "I was just watching... The penguin and the frog, they were talking over there. It's funny, isn't it?" she asked, her giggles resurfacing.

Alturius smiled, the smile of a predator who has cornered his prey and is ready to go in for the kill. "Execellent, after a few more dances then?" He chuckled and kept his smiling going.
Hook, line, and sinker!
Polgara laughed and smiled. "Yes, that is quite silly isn't it. But then, a lot of things in life are silly," She reached out and poked the Care-Pae's nose with a light chuckle, before sitting down next to Laugh-a-Lot. "So what's your name, I'm Polgara,"

Reira was too polite to turn down the request for more dances, and she enjoyed dancing, so really she couldn't refuse. "Sure," she responded. The song seemed to be ending and she wondered what would be next.
"Mmhmm!" Laugh-A-Lot responded, a loud laugh emerging from her little mouth with Polgara touched her nose. It tickled! She reached up to cover her precious nose. "I'm Laugh-A-Lot, of course!" She responded. Polgara was nice, she decided.

"I do hope they don't play another fast song next, I am absolutely horrid at those," Alturius said making a face, grumbling a little as he waited to see what the next song would be, keeping his hands where they were, after all, she HAD said she wanted to "Get to know him better" so he wasn't going to cut physical contact.
Polgara grinned and chuckled a little more herself. "Well it is a pleasure to meet you Laugh-a-Lot, is there anybody else here that you know?" She was trying to make good conversation.

Reira was intreagued by the next music selection. It was more up-tempo, and the words were about a kind of love she couldn't relate to. It was the kind of thing some sort of ballroom dance like a tango would fit to, while still perfectly danceable for anyone. She was going to break away and dance in a more modern fashion, but she was frozen where she was by Alturius' hands. "Uhm..." she began quietly, not sure how to politely point out that the waltz was over.
"It's nice to meet you too!" Laugh-a-Lot responded, as happy as ever. "I'm here with my big sister Reira. ...Well, she's not really my big sister. But she's taken care of me for as long as I can remember. Not that I need someone to take care of me! I'm a big girl. I can cook things and tuck myself in at night and sometimes I have to help her with things! But it is nice to have someone around all the time. So she's pretty much my big sister." For such a little thing, she certainly had a lot to say and a lot of air to get it all out. "What about you?"

Alturius chuckled. "Ah, okay, this I can do..." He started to try and lead again, and looked her over. "You know how to do one of these don't you?" He asked her, feeling that this would iron his offer a little more. After all, tango style dancing spoke from within.
Polgara smiled. "I'm here with my father and a friend," she chuckled and nodded her head at Laugh-a-Lot. "You do sound like a very capable big girl, what else can you do all by yourself?" Polgara was having the time of her life talking with this child.

"I can try," Reira responded, a bit feeblely. Generally, she could pick up dances fairly well, but this one sounded quick and complicated. "I wish I'd had more opportunities to learn dances like these," she commented. "They're fun! But they always look so hard!" she laughed, enjoying herself much more now.
"Hmm, let's see..." Laugh-a-Lot began, placing her chin in her hands thoughtfully. A spill of words came rushing out all at once, speeding up as they came. "I can fly! A little bit. Reira's much better. She's fast, but she cheats. And... uhm... I'm learning to swim! That's fun. But it's scary when you go out too far. And I think there are things in the water! Because, this one time, I was swimming, and kicking, and then I felt something. It was by my leg! I think it was trying to grab my leg! It was so scary!! So then I screamed, and Reira came and got me right away. She's so nice. What do you like to do?"

Alturius chuckled. "Just follow my lead," He said as he went through the steps, the spins, the leans and all the other parts to this type of music. "It's actually really easy, just let the music move you," He smiled and lead her along in the hot blooded dance.
Polgara smiled and chuckled again, covering her mouth with the back of her hand. "I like to read, and I like to cook, I also like taking care of children," She reached out and poked Laugh-a-Lot on the nose again. "Like you," She beamed at the child.

Reira did her best to keep up, following along fairly well. It was exhausting, though, and even a high-energy Pae'il such as herself felt the wear. "Okay..." she responded, following his advice. It really helped, and she found it much easier to just go with the music and Alturius' lead. "You're right," she laughed. "It's easier to just not think about it at all." The energy of the dance was something unique to her, that she couldn't quite identify with.
"Like me?" Laugh-a-Lot echoed, giggling. After a pause, she looked at Polgara with a questioning gaze. "Are you an Elder?" she asked meekly. She'd never seen one before, but now that she thought about it, Polgara sort of matched the description Reira had given her.

Alturius grinned. "I thought it would, you're very good at dancing, how about after this dance we go find a quiet place to get to know each other better," He chuckled. "Unless you want a thrid dance,"
Polgara smiled and bowed her head. "Yes, I'm and Elder," She chuckled softly before patting the little pae's head. "But I'm just like any other pae, just bigger, and well, I look different," She said lightly.

"Thanks, you too." Some cautionary siren should probably have started blaring in the angel Pae's mind. Maybe she was just too innocent to even have that siren... "Sure," she replied pausing as she was spun away until she returned, "but first I think I need something to drink..." Her throat was growing dry, from her chatter and laughter and the breaths she was taking to keep up with the impassioned steps of the tango.
"That's cool," Laugh-a-Lot informed Polgara with a cheerful smile. Then she began giggling. "Everyone's bigger than me!" She told the elder. Really, she wasn't that much different in Laugh-a-Lot's mind. Polgara was nice, and that's all that really mattered to the little Care-Pae.

Alturius chuckled. "Yeah, I'll need to get one too, no worries..." The song was nearing it's end, which was good for him, he was ready to play this just a little bit further, so when it came to the final dip, he held her there for a moment grinning. "Let's go get those drinks,"
Polgara smiled. "Well, you're cuter than everybody else, so it balances out," She chuckled softly and stroked the little pae's cheek. "So what games do you like to play Laugh-a-Lot?"

Kaelin slips into the building looking around. She hadn't been seen or heard from since she moved in with Rath. Biting lightly at her bottom lip she push her long bangs from her face as she looks down at her boys "Alright stay close to eachother, and please don't leave this building without me." kneeling down she gives them both quick kisses on the cheek.
Mel was the first to take off running. Laughing he was running straight towards Pol before he dodges her slipping under the table. Making face he peeks out then reaches up quickly grabbing some blueberry muffin.
Dil on the other hand watch his brother before he makes a face following him. He only comes to a stop as he see Pol. Arching a brow he place his finger to his lip trying to figure out why she look so familar to him.
Kethara steps into the building not to long after them. She didn't know why she wanted to come, but she figure she might as well seeing as she was having to learn about being a pae'il. Brushing her hair from her face it hung down around her face.
Her chest was wrapped with a bandage, so she was attempting to hide that with her hair. Glancing around she frowns as she made her way over to an empty table. She just wanted to see what this thing was all about.
