((Currently Claire, Kameri's guardian knows nothing of the other TOR. Or even what a TOR is. I'd love if another guardian would walk up and tell her. She is currently at the park in this scene. If your TOR touches Kameri make sure to say how it is feeling, if it is or is not in pain. I need to know because of her punishment.
I want as many people to join in as possible.))
Claire stood amount the trees staring out across the park. She had Kameri bundled up tight on the bench beside her. There wasn't a single doubt in her mind that Kameri was diffrent from most children, emerging from fire had proved that, but she didn't know why Kameri was so strange. It bothered her just how much she didn't understand about the child. For one thing she was extremely violent when touched with bare skin, which was odd for anybody, especially an infant.

Mos was ambling gently through the park. Pave was absentmindedly smoking and looking around. She noticed a girl sitting on a bench and automatically headed in that direction. Mos followed gleefully. It was adventure time! Pave approached the girl and smiled. She looked down at the bundle and recognized the distinctive look of a ToR. "I see you've got a Tear of Redemption there." Pave nodded to the child and tried to make conversation. Mos clambered into her lap and attempted to grab the cigarette out of her mouth playfully.

Dragain had been booted out of the house with Ingina for company. It seems that father and son, also known as Saniiro and Karimaru, had some big secret that they were trying to keep. Dragain had brought herself and Ingina a drink and were now wondering in the park aimlessly.
It was then she spotted Pave with a female she had never met before. Prefering chatting to wandering around, Dragain approached Pave while Ingina looked forward to meeting some new people.

Astraea smiled warmly as she sun gently warmed her skin. It was one of the few times that she had been truly grateful to escape the house, to walk about in the sun. Being a thin-blooded vampire, she often tried to avoid the sun, but with Ava's increasing mood-swings she found herself seeking to leave the house more.
Lorelei toddled beside her mother, a plastic pony clutched in one hand and a slowly melting icecream held in the other. Stopping suddenly a bright smile crossed the red-heads face, her ice cream dropping to the ground. "Ingina...Mos" she squealed in delight, charging off in their direction.
"Lorelei" Astraea called after her, swiftly hurrying after her daughter. As she neared the group, a similar smile to Lorelei spread across her lips. "Hello Dragain and Pave" she greeted them, as she knelt down to wipe the traces of ice-cream from Lorelei's mouth. It was then that she spotted the other woman whom she had never met and the infant bundled beside her. "I'm Astraea" she said as she stood to her feet once more, extending her free hand to Claire. "This is Lorelei" she continued, motioning to the girl who stood clutching the leg of Astraea's pants. "Its always nice to meet another ToR guardian" her smile widening as she said so.

Claire smiled up at all three of them feeling a bit overwelmed. She was suprised that they had called Kameri a TOR and herself a guardian. "A TOR ?" she said in a puzzled tone,"I'm afraid I don't quite understand. I found Kameri a few days back, I don't know much at all about her." She blushed slightly, embaressed that she couldn't follow.
A look of curiousity filled Kameri's eyes when she saw the other infants. She was sure they were diffrent from most people, but she couldn't place how. That is except for Ingina, her wings were a bit of a give away.

Mos looked around. Everyone was here! "Gina." He nodded to Ingina, still remembering the chocolate chip cookies. He looked over at Lorelei. He had met her before, but he didn't quite remember her. He nodded to her anyway. Then he looked down at the bundle. He reached out and poked at it happily.
Pave looked around and smiled. "Hi Dragain, hi Astraea." She looked over at Kameri. "Yep. That's definitely a ToR. This here is Mos. I see he's already noticed your child." Pave held her hand out. "Nice to meet you, er...?" She broke off.

Kameri was hissing. Claire looked at her in alarm, realizing the potential danger the other child was in. She hurried over forgetting to shake Pave's hand and was instantly relieved to see that though Kameri was a bit annoyed there was nothing she could do about it, the bindings were tight. As long as Mos didn't touch her face, or anywhere else skin was exposed their shouldn't be a problem. But if he did . . . Claire shuddered. "Kamei is quite violent", she warned,"It might not be the best idea to have your child so close. She felt horrible saying it, she wanted nothing more than for Kameri to be a happy pleasant infant who played nice with Mos.

Pave noticed Claire's worrying and picked Mos up. "Don't touch other children." She admonished quietly and set him back down. Turning back to Claire, she smiled nervously. "Sorry about that. Mos is a curious one."

Lorelei had watched quietly while Mos had approached the other infant. As a hissed seeped passed Kameri's lips, Lorelei jumped back in surprise. A frown crossed her lips when she had recovered slightly from her fright. She had never met such an aggressive infant before and was quite confused as to how to act. Placing her hands on her hips, she took a tiny step toward the bundled Kameri. "Be nice" she said to the hissing girl, frowning at her. "No make friends when scary" she continued, continuing to frown at the other girl.
"Lore be careful" Astraea said, cautious of how close Lorelei was getting to Kameri. Her cheeks flushed crimson as Lorelei addressed the girl, embrassed that her daughter was acting in such a way. If she thought about it thought, Lorelei would have picked the words and actions up from Astraea herself. She had used them often when it came to Rini, and trying to get her to behave. "I..I'm sorry" she stammered, at a loss for words. "She isn't usually like that" she continued, although she was curious as to how Kameri would react.

Claire smiled warmly at Pave,"It's fine, I'm just worried for his sake. He's such a sweet child. I wouldn't want something to happen to him." Claire spun around as she heard Lorelei speak to Kameri. Astrea had the situation under control she told her daughter to be careful and appoligised for her daughter's actions. Claire did not mind at all, she felt what Lorelei had done was sweet, if a bit too reckless.
Kameri, however, felt quite diffrent. She was glaring up at all of them with her icey blue eyes. She didn't feel that the other infant had any right to tell her to be 'nice'. Like the other TOR, she had lost all her memmories when she was reborn. But her feelings could not be erased. She didn't believe in good, the world was cruel, and that meant there was bad in everybody. More so than good. She began to drag her sharp nails against the inside of the blanket. If she was going to have to deal with this, she wasn't about to do so bound up.

Lorelei's frown only grew as the girl didn't seemed to respond to her demands. Putting a finger to her lips in a quizical manner, she tried to think back to what her Mummy did when Rini didn't listen to her. Her expression brightened as she remembered that her mother sometimes gave Rini something she really wanted, and then Rini would be all nice and happy. Her jade eyes looked about, wondering what she could offer the girl. Her frown returned when she couldn't seen anything. Clutching her hand tighter around the pony, she realised that was that she could offer the girl.
Taking another step closer to the struggling girl, she held the toy pony out to her. Lorelei adorned her ponies above all her other possessions, but if it would show Kameri that Lorelei was friendly, and would get the girl to be nicer then she would willingly offer it.
Astraea watched her daughter curiously. She knew how much the ponies meant to Lorelei, and knew the girl would be crushed if Kameri rejected her gift.

Mos looked over at Lorelei. She was holding out her pony. Mos realized he had nothing to give the unhappy girl. He searched around in his pockets. TeEmEye, a lot of crumbs, and the rock he threw at his mother. He pulled it out. It was a particularly good rock. He held it out to Kameri and smiled. Now she could have two things to play with.
Pave nodded at Claire. "Mos is just friendly, I suppose." She shrugged and looked at Mos, who was now holding out the rock.

It was evident that Kameri was struggling with her emotions. Carfully she ripped open the blanket and sat in front of them, wearing the raggedy little dress that Claire had managed to find for her. A battle was going on inside of Kameri and confusion was clear in her eyes. Her infant self did not remember how Damren had treated her so long ago. Giving her gift and then betraying her in the end, yet the feeling of distrust had not left her. She wanted to play with the objects to touch and cradle them in her arms. Har small, shaky hand reached out to touch both objects. The feeling of both of them under her fingers made a small smile appear on her face. But even so, she could not let herself except them. She drew back her hand and shook her head sadly. Claire watched her refuse. She knew it would most likely happen but she wished it hadn't. Kameri trusted no one completely and it appeaered that was how things would remanin. "I'm sorry. She won't accept anything, not even from me."

Lorelei's face fell the instant her offer was rejected. Tears welled in the corner of her eyes before they started running down her cheeks. She continued to hold the pony out to Kameri, shaking it slightly at the girl. "Please takey" she begged, more tears falling from her eyes, "present to make you happy". She could see in the girl's icy eyes that she was atleast curious about the gifts that were being offered to her, but she couldn't understand why the girl wouldn't take them.
Astraea continued to watch the curious situation play out before them. "Whatever happened to her in the past, must have shattered her trust of people" the vampire woman noted, turning her jade eyes to Claire. "How did you find her?" she asked, wondering it perhaps that might help to shed some light on why the girl seemed so cold and distant.

Mos looked down at his rock. Was it bad in some way? He hefted it and looked at the child. No, there was something wrong with her. If she wanted the gifts, she should take them. He proffered the rock again. "Vi gxui." He told her. She must take it. He looked over and saw how sad Lorelei was. This girl was making everyone sad! He pushed the rock at her and accidentally brushed her nose and cheek with the back of his hand. He was feeling terribly sad that the girl would not take his rock.
Pave looked down at the child and up at Claire. "Astraea's right, something happened to her." She nodded decisively. She cast around for a reason to pin on Kameri's distrust.
