((*SHOT* xD;;; ))
Another day, another bored streak. Banda was at work, Venoch was a p***k, and Lyrus had retreated to the (relative) safety of the Sin'aeis mansion. As long as he wasn't inside with the man eating plants, it was a nice place to be. Relaxing, sitting around, doing absolutely nothing...bored out of his mind....
Lyrus' first attempt at soothing his boredom had failed. Panpipes were only exciting for so long. But he had something better now: Designing his sword for his Halloween costume. He had finally decided what to go as and, as Banda was making most of the costume, decided to contribute a creation of his own: a glass sword.
Swords were a lot harder than roses.
The lamb Sin glared down at the glass shards set carefully on the ground before him, the remanants of his previous few attempts. They were all too small... The glass broke if he tried to shape it to a sharp enough point. Of course, these were merely models for the big thing, but if he didn't have anything to go by, the result could be all lopsided and whatnot.
How frustrating.

On her own this time. Earlier she managed to convince Kiita she could walk to the mansion alone. It wasn't hard finding her way here. She'd been doing it most of her life, so it wasn't anything new or out of the ordinary. The walk was always nice anyway, even on a fall day like this. Ani found it peaceful and it gave her time to reflect on random things.
Last time she had visited the mansion, she bumped into Lyrus and had to save him from that plant. It made her wonder why nobody put up a word of caution or something. Well, Gaia was crazy like that sometimes...okay well, most of the time.
Who would she meet today, she wondered. Part of her hoped to meet up with one of her friends again, another part of her was hoping more of the other Sin were there.
But before she could enter the mansion, something shiny caught her eyes. Turning her head, she spotted Lyrus and some glass on the ground in front of him. With a smile, she held up her hand and waved, "Hi Lyrus!"

Sjajan was, surprisingly, not in a good mood and though it was a nice day for fall, she didn't notice, scowling at the ground beneath her feet instead as she approached the mansion. Her hands were shoved deep into her pockets, further evidence of her mood, since usually she was seen launching rocks into things with her slingshot.
As she got closer, she heard a cheery female laugh, an unfamiliar one and looked up, blinking in surprise. Who was that? Pretty girl, and naturally, older. Sjajan rarely met people her age, but at least she could do more with them then when she was a baby. And there was Lyrus too! He'd... Grown. A lot. And gotten hair?
Jani quickened her pace until she was next to the girl, smiling a little bit and feeling the smallest bit better.
"Lyrus! Yah 'airs nice!"
She turned her brown eyes to the girl to find... Three eyes.
"Hoo're yah? Yah're preddy!"

The voice distracted him and, for the upteenth time that morning, Lyrus dropped the tiny sword he was crafting. Snarling under his breath, he snatched up one of the unaltered glass pieces and made as if to throw it at the new arrival, but froze when he realized who it was and let the glass fall back to the ground.
No throwing glass at Anisia.
"Hi Ani!" he replied with a wave, suddenly in a much better mood. "How're you today? It--" And he paused, gaze turning to the younger girl who had just arrived.
He grinned. "Thanks. Guess I wasn't broken, huh?" Out of the corner of his eye he glanced back to Anisia while Jani addressed her, but chose to refrain from comment. He'd never hear the end of it if Banda found out.

Ani watched Lyrus's reaction with her eyes widening a little and could only take a startled step back. But when he greeted her back, his tone of voice told her it was okay. Maybe she had surprised him. So instead of saying something about it, she gave him another smile, "I'm doin' goo-"
But before she could finish, another girl had popped up next to her side. Smaller and younger. As she complimented Lyrus, she couldn't help but giggle. "I'm Anisia! But Ani for short." She replied. "Oh, and thank you! You're cute too." She added with a smile, "Whats your name?"

Jani had finally learned how to say her own name, though the 'Sj' sound was difficult for a todd-no, it was pretty much difficult for everyone but her mother. Stupid Indu.
"Ahm Sjajan, ya kin call meh Jani."
Still, as she heard the other girl's nickname, she blinked up at her almost in an instintive sort of fear and stepped slightly away.
"Anny?"
Jani was not getting along with Anny, at the moment. Not that they were getting along in the first place...

Ani and Jani are talking. Be polite, or interrupt? Lyrus really wanted to interrupt, but then.. Well, he and Anisia had been talking first, and Jani had interrupted them! Therefore it was perfectly reasonable that he resume the conversation they had been having before.
"So, uh..." Not that he really had anything to say. "Did you see the, er...flower, Ani?" Slightly hopeful. Maybe too hopeful? She had seen it, right? He had delivered it to the right place? She hadn't mentioned it. He would have mentioned it if it had been a gift to him.
Maybe she thought he had just bought it? It kind of looked that way, once Banda had helped with the stand and all. But he HADN'T! Paranoiaparanoiaparanoia. It was all Lyrus could do to keep a smile on his face and refrain from toying with his pocket knife.

Anisia frowned a little as Jani stepped away, "Uhm, yeah...but you can still call me Anisia if you want." She said, slightly confused. What was wrong with her nickname? Not used to getting this type of reaction toward her name, she turned her attention to Lyrus.
At the mentioning of the flower, Ani's frown turned upside down. Her facial expression brightening within seconds, "Oh Lyrus, its beautiful! Its so beautiful! I can't believe you could make things like that!" She said, her eyes shining. It had been the most gorgeous thing someone could make her. "I love it." Anisia added, giving him a nice smile.
What she didn't love, however, was how Kiita reacted to the flower. "Who is this Lyrus boy?" and "How long have you known him?" and "Why did he give you this?" And of course, her little dragon sister had to pipe in too, "Oooh, a booy?"

Jani's eyes sparkled at the mention of a flower, and the strained expression on Lyrus' face. She wasn't at all upset he'd interrupted, not when she'd felt so uncomfortable. However, since this Ani had a different reaction to this sort of thing, she decided that maybe nicknames had nothing to do with who you were and moved closer to the two older children.
"Ah fower? Lyrus 'ave gif?"
How sweet of him, and slightly out of character, from what she knew. Why'd he do it? Had to have been an ulterior motive... Interesting. Neme had been getting presents lately, so had Indu. Indu got them because it was her birthday, but Neme got them because... People had what Korist called 'crushes' on her. Trying to find out which one, she smiled and peered at Ani a little slyly.
"S'joor birrfday?"

Choking back a relieved sigh, Lyrus relaxed and genuinely smiled. Straightening up somewhat, he folded his arms across his chest with a smirk. "Good. I'm glad you like it." And damn, was he. It would've really sucked if she had hated it after he went to all that trouble, or if it had broken or he had brought it to the wrong house or something. But he didn't have to worry anymore.
"Yeeeeah," he mumbled after a moment, eyeing Jani somewhat warily. What, he wasn't allow to give presents? And whyever not?! He was just being nice! ....Actually, that was terribly out of character for him. Oh well. "No, she chopped me out of a plant when it tried to eat me, so it was a thank you thing."
That was all. Yahuh.

Ani gave Jani a small smile as she moved closer again. She still didn't understand why Jani reacted the way she did, but she didn't mention it again. She felt it was good the toddler stepped closer again. She'd have to ask later though, the cinnamon girl decided.
Anisia nodded as a response to Jani's first question, "Yup! But its not my birthday for a while. Lyrus already said why." She said, looking to him to give him a smile too.
"I didn't think it would turn out that way! Its so pretty. It looks like an adult did it!" She continued to compliment. "I'm keeping it in a safe place so nobody will break it...or touch it." Ani added. If someone touched it, they were bound to break it. So no touchy.
