Joirune laughed at Evie, she was so cute. "Oh, where are my manners. Would you like to sit down?"

Sit down? The thought hadn't even occurred to Kari, but the second that Joirune mentioned it, it suddenly sounded wonderful. "Yes, that might be a good idea, especially if she starts to wriggle aga-"
Right on cue, Evie resumed her squirming, eager to be down and crawling about. It wasn't that she didn't love her mother; the world was just much more fascinating to explore.

Joirune laughed and went to settle herself on the couch.

Kari sat herself down on the opposite side of the couch, chuckling as Evie suddenly stilled. The infant seemed to sense that she was about to gain her freedom, for she began to make a chuckling sound and flip her tails about in an excited fashion after that brief moment of peace. After comfortably seating herself, Kari leaned over and very gently placed Evie on the floor in a sitting position, relaxing back a bit as she watched the child. Evie couldn't get far in this place; there weren't enough hiding spots.
Evie, however, was totally disinterested in hiding, and she crawled over to Joirune, sitting down in front of the nurse's feet and babbling happily. She flared out her wings and wiggled back and forth, grinning unashamedly up at the woman.

Joirune bent over to look at the little one and grinned. "Well hello again." She reached down and touched the girl's cheek. "You looking for someone to talk to, little one?"

Evie nodded vigorously, touching Joirune's hand with one of her own. "Yuhhhhh. Hihi!" she chirped, her tails waggling about in a demonstration of ecstasy. The child tilted her head to one side, her flame-colored eyes wide and curious. "I Eeefeeeee!"
Kari chuckled a bit. For all that she could be wary of strangers at first, Evie was remarkably good at making friends, it seems. Well, that was one worry out of the way.

"Mind if I pick her up?" Joirune glanced over at Kari.

Kari smiled at Joirune. "No, I don't mind at all. She seems to like you," the Ancient said, grinning further at Evie's infectious cheerfulness. She knew she shouldn't be so proud of her lovely daughter, but who cared?! It was a parent's right, after all.
Evie glanced back and forth between her mother and Joirune, looking appropriately confused. After a moment, she simply flapped her wings once and then patted the nurse's hand. "Heeeeeeee!" she said, grinning broadly at whatever special meaning it held for her.

Joirune reached down and picked up the infant carefully, setting her on her lap, sideways so she could see her mother as well look around at everything.

Uttering a long, drawn-out cooing noise as she was picked up, Evie sat very still for a moment on Joirune's lap, her fiery eyes wide as she processed this new situation. After a moment, her expression brightened, and she giggled, reaching up to pat the side of the nurse's face. "Hihihi!" she declared again, happily fluttering her wings.
"I take that back: she definitely likes you," Kari corrected herself with a smile, watching her daughter interact with the nurse. She managed to hide her giant sigh of relief, though she was no less elated that Evie was responding well to a stranger. Granted, she didn't want the toddler to run up to every unfamiliar person with the same joy, but the fact that Evie was taking the time to look at and evaluate the person before trusting was a very good sign.

Joirune laughed and smiled. "If I was ever able to have a child, I would've been delighted if it was even half as sweet as Evie." She glanced at the clock. "Oh dear, I'm supposed to have an appointment coming in, in a few minutes."

Kari chuckled, a definite dry undertone to the sound. "Mmm... you'd better hope they'd be about half as mischevious too. She tends to escape from her crib and playpen and hide in various other places" she said, remembering the most recent episode. Dear gods above, it had given her a near heart attack. She nodded in understanding at the mention of an upcoming appointment. "I'd better not keep you, then. C'mere, Evie," she said, standing and walking to Joirune to lift the infant off the nurse's lap.
Evie looked momentarily put-out by this sudden change of situation, but she waved at Joirune nonetheless, clinging to her mother's shoulder. "Buhbyebuhbye..." she burbled, twitching her tails about enthusiastically.

"Perhaps I'll see you all again. It was nice to meet you." Joirune stood once Evie was picked up, bowed politely then waved to Evie.

"It was wonderful to meet you too," Kari said cheerfully, hefting the infant on her hip. "Until next time." She headed for the door, aware of the fact Evie was staring at Joirune over her shoulder.
"Byyyyyyyyyyyyye," Evie cooed happily, waving a chubby three-fingered hand at the nurse as her mother carried her out.
