Welcome to Gaia! ::

Coincidentally, Julii (who had been shoved out the door by Phantom with Cameo and the address to the Mansion with the instructions to bring the baby over) wandered in a similar direction. At first, he was anxious at following the older woman's instructions (he could deal with new people but, ick, unfamiliar places made him nervous), but he eventually sucked it up and entered. A sharp tug at his hair jerked him out of his thoughts. "Cameo."

Said hooved baby merely tugged at the clump of his hair she held in her little hand again and stated, quite simply, "Seeep." Her green eyes widened in a way that implied she wanted something.

"Wha?" Oh, sippy cup, right. He looked down at her and then at the tiny backback he had and sighed. "Okay, down with you." He lifted her up a little to balance her weight and let her down onto the floor. "Don't go anywhere, now." He swung his backpack around and began shuffling around the items stuffed in there. "Sippy cup, sippy cup... where..."

While the young boy was distracted, Cameo looked around, curious as to not have gone to this part of the Mansion before. A slight breeze of perfume or something from the parted door not too far away from her. Making a slight noise of joy she crawled in that direction. Once there, pink cheeked, she crawled inside catching at once a glance of something - someone. "Ee!" Cameo crawled up closer to her, eyes bright and wide. "Ee!"

"Oh - here! Cameo?" Quite suddenly, Julii blanched. Where had she gone?

s**t, Phantom was going to kill him.

It took a moment for Cameo's baby mind to process what the toddler had said. Once she did, however, her tiny hands came up to her horns and touched them gently. "Hohn? Ehne." Since she was merely an infant, she was hardly aware of the world at large around her, and so thought nothing of the fact that no one else she knew had horns like hers, or hooves for that matter ... but that was not the matter at hand. No, for Cameo, like most her age, had quite a short attention span.

"Eee! Neh! Neh! Wiiin!" Her eyes lit up in excitement as she spotted the toddler's sparkling wings, one tiny finger point estatically at them. "Wiin! Wiiin!"

"Eeeee." If it was even possible, Cameo's eyes grew larger when she saw Parvana's wings glitter in the light. A baby-like understanding poured through her when the toddler mentioned losing the color of her wings, illustrated by the way her mouth fell into an 'o' shape.

Perhaps it was from instict, or perhaps it was from something else, but while Cameo couldn't feel it, when Parvana touched her horns she looked up at the older, right into her black eyes. And, abruptly, she broke into a smile and clapped her hands happily.

"Flowwa." Cameo murmered, sounding out the word. Sure, she had seen flowers before, certainly. Just ... she had never bothered to try and say the word before, or so clearly connecting the two together. She looked down at the dark purple flower that Parvana had brought to her and, slowly registering the last statement ("...need flowers, lots of flowers..."), she rolled to the side a little onto all fours and crawled foreward toward a group of vibrant orange flowers. She fell onto her backend and stretched her arm to pick a particularly bright, yet still withing her reach and thus close to the ground, flower. For a moment she examined it with a childishly serious look and, pleased with her choice crawled back over.

"Flowwa?" She held out the orange flower, slightly crushed from when she crawled, to Parvana. "Mowre?"

"Mowre." Cameo mumbled, slurring her words slightly. She placed her flowers in the started pile and crawled over to another group of flowers. Blossom pink, azure blue, sunny yellow, flowers of all ranges of colors. It was extremely easy to identify the flowers Cameo had picked, for the petals were slightly mushed and crushed, and they were obviously picked rather clusily. This, however, did not seem to matter to the infant, for she continued crawling and picking the flowers.

The simplisity of the task did not hinder Cameo from taking it fully to heart. Her cheeks were flushed red, from both eagerness and from the, ah, exersize that crawling back and forth put Cameo through.

A glimpse of red reflected in the corner of her eye, and she quickly turned to look up at it. Oooh, it was a pretty shade of deep red, but it was just a little bit high... She lifted herself up and stretched her arm up a little more. Just barely her fingers brushed up against the soft petals. "Aieeeeee."

Cameo giggled gleefully as Parvana bent the branch down, her fingers finally able to grasp the red flower. As soon as she picked it, she fell back onto her backside, unable to balance herself for any longer. Pleased with the flowers she now held (in her other hand she held a bruised, violet flower) she crawled back to pile and plopped down next to Parvana. She set the violet flower down in the pile but kept the red one, bringing it up to her nose and sniffing it. "Neeh!" It smelled sweet!

The tune that Parvana sung caught in the infant's ear and she looked up. While Cameo couldn't exactly comprehend the words to the toddler's song, the music of it was enough to make her giggle again and begin to rock like her.

"Flowwa!" Cameo touched the flowers on her head gently, fingering the flowers with the fingers of her free hand. " Letting her hands fall down to her lap, she looked at the (albeit slightly battered) red flower. In her thought her eyes fell half-way, toward the ground and the prism patterns the toddler's wings created on the floor. However, quite soon, they opened wider than ever, and she held out the deep red blossom to Parvana.


"Pwee pwee flowwa~ Yuuu~"
