Rabid was sitting on the edge of the fountain, reading some obscure horror novel for the sixth time. She crossed and uncrossed her legs nervously as the main character entered the basement.
The calm up on the fourth floor was quite comforting. Nothing much was going on at all. She wished for some company, though, as the silence was mildly frightening under these circumstances.
Malachi sat in his stroller nearby, not strapped in, but not moving either. He stared at the water flowing inside the fountain, completely mezmerized by it. He rubbed his eyes against the reflection of the lights and gurgled. Crazy Hair Lady had brought him up to the fourth floor over an hour ago, and he was beginning to get restless. Where was everyone?!
"Baaaaah..." he murmured, continuing to watch the water.

"Hurry Mother, Hurry!"
"I'm going as fast as I can!"
"We get top floor. We go 'splring!"
Deimos surfaced at the edge of the stais and rushed to look around the garden. He went here and there, and everywhere and it took him a few minutes to notice that Malachi and Rabid were even there. He recognized Rabid though and waved a meek hello, before leaning over the fountain to look at his reflection.. He'd forgotten all about the cross embedded on his forehead, but as he saw it he cringed and slapped the water angryly, as if hoping that would make it go away.
Jizzy huffed herself up the last few stair and almost floped down on the spot.. "Hello *pant* Rabid.." She wasn't made for this kind of climbing.

"Hello, Deimos," Rabid said when the plashing of water broke her concentration, "Hey, Jizzy. You alright?"
She laughed slightly and dog-eared her page. She hadn't seen either the Mishap or his Guardian in quite some time...or at least it felt like it.
"BAH!" Malachi yelped when his view of the water was marred. Looking up, though, he noticed a funny yellow boy. The boy was bigger than himself but, then again, so was Lenore.
He gave a fanged grin and waved to Deimos.

Jizzy waved at Rabid, still trying to catch her breath. She plopped down on the bench next to Rabid. "This palce *gasp* need an elevator.." She said jokingly, though her heavy breathing betrayed her tone.
Deimos looked up at the noise and at first he was.. well. rather shocked. The boy before him was much to white, it was unerving, but the fangs and the eyes. They calmed Deimos and caused him to stride over to the furry child. "Hello.. What you name?" He asked, brnging his hand up to try to tassle his hair up so it hid the cross.

"They really do," Rabid agreed, smiling, regardless of the fact that Jizzy could've been joking, "I got lucky. I'm just a floor below. Look on the bright side, though...you will never have to buy a stair master."
She looked over at Deimos and Malachi, then turned back to Jizzy.
"What's with the...err...forehead." She purposefully avoided using the word "cross".
"Aieeeeee..." Malachi struggled to say his own name. He'd been called it enough times by Crazy Hair Lady...but it was so hard!
"Aieee...ai.....Ike..."
Ah! Finally! He grinned and squealed happily.
Rabid's head snapped quickly toward Malachi.
"Finally!" she laughed, "Lenore calls him Bah, yanno..."

Jizzy's face fell at the mention of the cross. "He went into the forest, Jabir caught him.. He has to wear it for 5 days as punishment.." She explained in a whisper.
Deimos nodded. "I Dei. I friend of Len too." He said with a nod. "I give her present. Blood. She wear here." He explained, pointing to around his neck as he explained. Anyone who knew Lenore couldn't be bad.

"Oh..." Rabid whispered back, "5 days, huh? I can't even begin to imagine what kind of trouble Squirrelboy there is going to get into." She was quitte nervous, in fact. Once he could walk, who's to say where he would go?
"Len," Malachi smiled and wriggled, falling out of his stroller and onto his rump. He laughed maniacally, and then crawled to the edge of the fountain, pulling himself up. Yellow boy...waitwait...Deimos seemed quite likeable as of yet. Malachi giggled again at the word "blood". That was the red stuff, right?

"Jabir is rather strict, so.. I'd be careful. Dei has been taking it very well, but I don't expect he's very please.." She said with a sigh.
Deimos looked down into the fountain as Ike did, but avoided looking at his reflection. "Ike like blood?" He asked and before the child could answer he went to his mother, adn the bag at her side. He rummaged and pulled out a wrapped blood lollipop. He snuck back quietly and unwraped it by Malachi. "Good stuff.." He said, taking a small lick before holding it out to the small red eyed squirell.

"I'd expect not," Rabid frowned, then asked, "Aside from that, how've you been lately?" She made a mental note to get on Jabir's good side early on.
Malachi immediately went completely silent and stared at the lolly. Everything went sharper again, and he inhaled deeply. He reached out for a moment before snatching the lolly and taking a chunk out of it. The crazy-haired lady didn't give him the red stuff enough, he thought. He was beginning to like Deimos just that much more.
Then, realizing again that the boy had been nice enough to share his red stuff, he grinned and held the bisected lolly back out to him. Everything faded back to normal again and he gave a low gurgle.

"Good enough.. Getting back into my practice after a few years, so I had to dig out all my old book. Finally got over my flu, so that's a plus.." She said with a smile creeping onto her face.
Deimos' eyes had narrowed slighly as Ike seemed rather content with his lolly, but upon it's return he smiled and took a large bite, as Ike had. "Ike have good taste.." He said, licking the lolly and handing it once more to Ike.

"Congrats," Rabid laughed, 'Wouldn't want you fainting again." She winked and stuck her tongue out at Jizzy. She had just remembered the whole fainting incident at the picnic.
Ike smiled and took the lolly back. Everything became sharper again for a moment before he handed the nearly-gone candy back to Deimos. It was only right to give the nice boy the last bite.
"Duh," he struggled to say Deimos's name, "Deee....bah." He gave up fairly quickly. He didn't like "s"s.

Jizzy chuckled and stuck her tounge out as well in response. "That was a one time thing. Not my fault, right." She said in mock indignance.
"Dei.. " He said correcting Ike and taking the final bit eout of the lolly, licking his lips clean as he did. "My name Dei" He explained. He didn;t sound agrravated, not offended, he jsut wanted Ike to get it right.

"I sure hope so," Rabid smiled and then looked toward the children, "What's that?" She pointed to the marred stick Deimos held in his hand.
"Deeeeeeugh," Malachi scowled, "Deeeeeh-ee. Deh-ee!" He squealed again. Finally, he was beginning to say things! Soon enough, he thought, he'd be talking a blue streak, just like Dei.

Jizzy looked over as well and as she spotted the stick, she looked in her bag then at the stcik again. "It's whats left of a blood lollipop I brought for Dei.." She said with a chuckle.
Deimos sighed. "Close 'nough.. But you better get it right when you big." He said to the child spotted a wastebasket not to far and throwing the stick into it.
