" Mommy! Can I have some candy!" Kisten peered over at his caretaker, a hand slowly edging toward the shelves of candy. Out of everything in the store, Kisten loved the candy the most. Of course there were millions upon millions of movies for him to choose from, but the candy was much more exciting.
" No Kisten, stay away form the candy. Now come pick out a movie hunny." Risika glanced over at the young hooved child, she was about to go get him and make him pick out a movie, but he finally made his way over to them, thankfully. Trent merely watched, his arms secured around the rental box that was pressed to his chest. He had already chosen his movie, Tarzan, and to make sure that he got it, he held it protectively. Little did he know that Kisten would refuse his movie and demand another, what a scene to be had in the near future...

"Come along, girls." Mahou couldn't help but feel like a mother as she led the young girls through the aisles of the movie rental shop. Raven had finally allowed a television to be put into her apartment- for research, she had insisted- but it needed to be christened properly. And to Mahou, that meant a family movie night.
Holding tightly to Mahou's hand, Isvara looked up, eyes wide. "Can we really get anything we want? Anything?" There were so many choices! Maybe she could get something with a dragon, like at D-Corp! Except Myung-Ki was so violent. Unicorns were probably better. "Even unicorns?"
Mahou smiled gently at the one she had taken to calling the "good child." "Of course, Isvara. Anything you- Bian, not that!"
Content with being the "bad child," Bian had raced ahead, pushing another child out of the way, and was reaching up to the racks of candy. "Why not?" she asked crossly, not stopping her reach. "You said anything!"
"I said any movie. Not candy. And please, go apologize to the person you shoved." Dealing with Bian was such a headache, but it wasn't as if Mahou had a choice in the matter. At least she hadn't broken anything yet.
With a look of shock, Bian folded her arms. She wasn't apologizing to anyone! After all, she didn't do anything wrong!

Kisten stumbled, his hands automatically reaching out to catch himself before he fell to the ground. Thankfully his tail and wings gave him extra help in the balance category, and quickly stood straight again. What had just happened? The grey child turned back toward the candy, looking at the child who had taken his post at the candy shelves. OH CANDY! Kisten soon trotted to the other child's side, bumping into her as he looked at the candy again. Which kind did he want?
Risika let out a frustrated sigh as she placed a hand gently on Trent's head. " I'll be right back, stay here, kay?" With a nod from Trent, Risika made her way to the candies, taking hold of Kisten's shoulder as she squatted down next to him, turning him to look at her instead of the candy.
" Kisten.."a warning tone in her voice.
Kisten's ears automatically folded back, he knew what this tone meant, he wasn't being good. " Yes mommy?"
" What did I say earlier?"
" To come pick a movie...and leav the candy alone."
"If you knew what I said, why are you still here then sweety?"
"I got pushed, and den I membered about the candy and.." Risika understood, he was so easily distracted, and...wait.
"You got pushed?" Only then did she look up at the other child beside him, and her eyes widened a bit as she caught sight of her. Could she be like her two boys? " Well hello there."

Bian quickly turned back to the candy, scowling as some other kid bumped into her. To Bian, people fell into two categories: the useful, and the enemies. Since this one didn't look especially useful, that put him squarely in the latter. Knowing this, Bian felt no remorse as she shoved him again, this time on purpose. "Hey! Move!"
"Nooo, Bee!" Whimpering a little at her sister's actions, Isvara quickly let go of Mahou's hand and hurried over. "Don't fight. He didn't do anything."
Before Bian could respond, Mahou was looming over both of them. "That's enough." Then, to Risika- the mother, she figured- she gave a tired smile. "I'm terribly sorry, miss. Bian has difficulty with strangers." And with family, she added silently. "Is your child unharmed?"

Kisten frowned, looking over at the rude child beside him. Why was she being so pushy, there was plenty of candy for everyone. Kisten opened his mouth to say as such to the little girl but a gentle, yet firm presence of a hand on his shoulder made him keep his tongue. His closed with mouth with a snap then looked back at his mother who smiled proudly at him for being able to read her silent commands.
Risika stood then, turning her attention toward the two girls' guardian, smiling brightly. " No worries, he's fine. It'll take a bit more then a little push to harm this little guy." Kisten beamed at the compliment, waving at Mahou happily, having already forgotten about being pushed around by Bian.
Trent soon made his way over to the group, still clutching his rental box protectively. His eyes were glued to the two girls before him, a cautious look in his eyes as he approached Risika's leg and wrapped an arm around it, standing just behind it as if to shield himself from the group. He would do just fine watching for now he wasn't really interested in the new people his mother and brother were talking to, he just got lonely standing by himself.

Visibly relieved, Mahou relaxed a little. "That's good to hear. My apologies, again." Though she wasn't really the one who owed an apology, Mahou felt bound to offer one anyway. "Bian, you should apologize as well."
Bian scrunched her eyes shut and shook her head. "Nuh-uh! 'Sides, he pushed me too!" It was difficult to make herself look like the victim, but Bian was going to try every tactic she could think of in order to avoid apologizing.
Frowning, Isvara grabbed Bian by the hand. "Are you okay, Bee? Did you get hurt?" Even though the chances of Bian being seriously hurt were slim, with the way she was carrying on, it still didn't hurt to check. Isvara didn't want anybody to be hurt, or fight, or anything bad like that.
After considering her options, Mahou decided to let the girl be. She had to choose her battles, and this one wasn't worth the headache. She was surprised, however, when she saw the other boy approach Risika. "I wasn't aware you had more than one child, miss. You appear blessed."
Or cursed, if one of them was like Bian, but Mahou knew better than to say that part aloud.

Risika smiled, her hand revolving to her side in order to gentle pet Trent's head. She figured he wouldn't want to be paraded around, but she didn't want him to feel ignored either.
" It seems you have two as well, though they are only two of five," She laughed sheepishly then paused thinking about the fact that this woman had two girls who seemed to be exact opposites, while she had two boys who were the same way. Was it possible? " Thule?" If she knew what she was talking about that would be perfect, but if she didn't Risika could just write it off as being a WW2 geek.
Kisten frowned at Bian, he hadn't meant to push her! Besides she was the one in the way. But it did worry him if he did hurt her, and just as Isvara figured, if Bian was carrying on so much, maybe he did hurt her. " You okie, girl?"

Five! Mahou put one hand to her mouth in surprise. "In that case, I commend you, miss. My lady only has three, including these two, and between the two of us we have our hands full." Of course, Raven was usually busy teaching, and the child who wasn't there had a griffin and a dragon in his care, but taking care of five actual children was a feat that amazed Mahou, and she wasn't embarrased to admit. "However do you manage?"
Grumbling about busybodies, Bian shrugged off both Isvara's and Kisten's worries. Of course she was fine! That they thought otherwise was insulting. And she still hadn't gotten her candy. Taking advantage of the grown-up's distraction, she slipped away, heading back for the candy rack.
Yep, Bian was okay. Shrugging, Isvara turned to Kisten. "Are YOU okay? Bee doesn't mean it, really." That was a lie, but if it patched things up and avoided more arguments, Isvara didn't feel too bad about telling it. "Is that your brother? Why doesn't he come over here?"

Risika laughed, used to the other woman's reaction. She often asked herself those same questions. But once she really thought about it, she defiantly wouldn't be able to do it without Raziel, though they weren't married yet, he was more than a help with the kids.
" I have some help from my fiance. I would defiantly not be able to do it without him." She chuckled then, nearly smacking herself in the forehead for forgetting her manners.
" I'm sorry! My name is Risika and this little one," her hand went to Kisten's head, who beamed happily," is Kisten. And this," her hand went to her side, lightly touching Trent's head, who merely slunk farther behind her legs as he realized that attention was on him, " is Trent. Don't mind him, he's just a bit shy."
Kisten beamed at Isvara, having already forgotten about his ordeal with Bian and just happy that the green girls attention was on him now. " I'm okie! No worries," he was already picking up on his mother's mannerisms. He looked over at Trent, a small frown coming over him as he too thought why Trent never wanted to play. " He's just shys?" He heard Risika using that term for him, so he figured that it explained the way Trent acted.

A fiance explained some, but not all. Even if Raven's fiance was around, Mahou doubted their ability to handle any more children. The woman's modesty and capability made her all the more likeable, and Mahou found herself warming up to the trio considerably. "It is a pleasure, Miss Risika. My name is Mahou, and these two are Isvara and-" Pausing, the elf looked around. "Bian must be around here somewhere..."
"Oh." That was like 'Noki, then. But 'Noki was still nice and read stories and gave her piggyback rides, so it stood to reason that this "Trent" would be nice as well. "Can we go say hi, or will that make him scared?"
In the meantime, Bian had started climbing the candy rack. The silly grown-ups had to put her favorite kind on the top shelf, of course, but that wasn't going to stop her.

Risika smiled warmly," Lovely to meet you Mahou, and of course Its nice to meet you Isvara and..." she paused, gazing around trying to find the other child aswell. She could have sworn she saw her two seconds ago. " Bian aswell," she continued, still searching. Her eyes fell upon the child who was slowly making her way up the candy rack. " Eh? There she is," she said, pointing a gloved finger in the child's direction.
Kisten tapped his chin in thought. Oh he knew that introducing the girl to Trent would indeed scare him, but the question that he currently pondered was, did he really care?
He grinned then, and grabbed hold of the girl's hand, leading her over to his brother while their mother was distracted looking for the other girl. " Trent, dis girl wanted to meets you!"
Trent frowned, instantly reaching for his mother's pant leg to tug for protection, but as his hand reached out, all it grabbed was air. He frowned deeper, looking for his mother and seeing her going towards the other girl who was acting like a monkey at the moment. He sighed, pulling his hoodie over his head, sulking inside of the saftey of its shadow, and defiantly crossing his arms over his chest. He did not care to meet this girl, and Kisten knew that.
