Pave walked at a leisurely pace into the HQ. Mos trailed behind, holding Mary's leash and looking around somewhat frightenedly, still shaken from his flashback earlier. Pave settled onto one of the couches in the HQ and relaxed. Mos sat down as well, skimming, he could not read it properly, a copy of Hamlet's soliloquy as copied by his mother. "Be or not." He almost recited. Mary added her own comment of "Baa" which Mos took to mean "be".

Tyr had heard that children like the twins he was 'keeping safe' were usually found in this building, fondly dubbed 'HQ'. So, naturally, that was where the teenager went...no doubt looking for a way to rid himself of what could very well be the absolute worst set of twins fate could ever dish out in the history of man. Kandajha was alright, if not as adorable as Vaughan (though Tyr didn't want Vaughan around either, at least the lion-boy wasn't as needy), but Serkan...he wanted her gone. Now. Her small, thin claw and teeth marks on his hands, arms, ankles and shins were more than enough evidence towards that.
Like it was wherever they went, Andy 'sat' comfortably in his arms, and the whisp that connected him to Serkan looped over the teenager's upper arm and to his back, where Serkan was clinging. She hated being carried it seemed, so she always settled for hanging on on her own, and peering with her ever-bleeding eyes over his shoulder. It was creepy as all hell...
"Oh thank god people..." The teen sighed out, thanking whatever diety Gaia possessed. "Hello...?"

Pave looked up at the voice smilingly. Spotting the teenager, she looked him up and down critically. He was roughed up, it seemed. "Hello." Pave finally said, watching the boy in his arms and the very creepy girl on his shoulder.
Mos looked up at the voice. He watched the teen in awe. Barely taking notice of the twins, Mos stared at the young man's face. He smiled angelically.

Tyr's cobalt eyes shifted to the boy with the lamb, giving him an uneasy smile...he remembered him from that Halloween party, and frankly, the boy was staring at him then, too. Shaking his head, he looked back towards the woman, waving slightly. "Hey...Do you have any interest in taking care of a pair of twins? For good, maybe?" Yes, right to the chase...there had to be SOMEONE on Gaia who'd want them!
Kandajha stared around the room in awe, then stared at the woman, and finally, stared at the black-haired boy. He had a fuzzy thing beside him! Squealing in glee, the infant bounced and clapped, making grabby hands towards the lamb. " 'Manil! 'Manil!" He cried out excitedly, his own word for 'Animal'.
Serkan, on the other hand, dug her little nails tighter into Tyr's shirt, eyeing the lamb and its whiteness in distaste, and 'looking' (read: turning her head towards) at the boy in the same manner. Who on EARTH would stare at the whimpering, snivelling boy she was forced to call caretaker?! Somehow, she seemed to know what and who were around her, even without eyes. They had to have something wrong with them. Her head turned once more, looking as though she was gazing at the lamb. Breifly, she wondered what colour of blood it had.

Pave laughed at the teen's "joke". "That's funny. My name is Pave Chaos. You can call me Pave. What's your name?" She held out her hand amiably.
Mos turned to the boy who was behaving so excitedly. His smile did not diminish, but grew larger. The boy wanted to see Mary, maybe? This would be a good excuse to get closer to the teenager. He pocketed the scribbly soliloquy and dragged Mary toward the trio. Mary had seen Serkan and was very, VERY unwilling to go anywhere near the girl. Mos jerked again and Mary was in front of the teen and the male twin.

(( WHOOPS. Pretend I'm Tyr! ))
"...Joke...right...Aheh.." Okay, that plan failed. She thought he was joking with her! Sighing to himself, Tyr moved and sat in a nearby armchair, careful to neither tough Serkan or crush her...she was so close to his neck that he'd probably get bitten there and die if he crushed her by accident. Having someone like her near his neck was never a comforting thought. But...that was the only place she'd cling to without shrieking, biting, scratching or glaring. "Tyr Xerxes, nice to meet you." He reached out and grasped her hand, giving it a gentle, but firm shake as he'd always been taught. Serkan turned her head, looking as though she were gazing at the hands.
Kandajha, however, was beside himself with glee. The furry white thing was coming closer! Giving another excited cry, he leaned over in Tyr's grasp, still making grabby hands for the lamb. It looked so furry, so soft! "'ug! hug!" Once the lamb was close enough, the blonde wonder leaned over and wrapped his chubby arms around the creature's neck, giving it an affectionate hug and a happy nuzzle. "Yay! Manil!" He cried out, the sound muffled by the lamb's coat.
Serkan's head turned from the hands to the lamb, still very much crouched behind Tyr's shoulders, only her nose up appearing in plain view...and even then, her ever-moving hair sometimes hid that from view. Though this was usually only for a few seconds before one of her empty eye sockets would suddenly appear out of the black mask. That lamb was so...so white...she wanted to...touch it, maybe bleed on it a little. Maybe then it wouldn't be so blinding. Hissing quietly to herself, she reached out with one slashed, chubby little hand, trying and failing to grab the lamb from behind Tyr's shoulder.
"Oh...and who might you be?" Andy's squeals of glee weren't lost on him; he knew the black haired boy had come closer. Tyr was attempting to be civil about this, and hey...maybe Pave and he could switch? His twins for this much quieter boy?

((XDD His twins for Mos? Mos would looooove that!))
Mos smiled at Andy, but was immediately alarmed when the scary girl slashed at Mary. He pulled Mary away and hugged the fleecy head to his chest. The scary girl would not touch his precious lamb. Once he was sure Mary had not been touched, her coat was still gleaming white, he turned to Tyr. Pave failed to notice the look of absolute rapture on Mos's face. "Mos Chaos!" Mos stuck his hand out as his mother had done, only far more forcefully, as if to assert his dominance, though he was a child.
Pave was watching Serkan very carefully. Unsure of how to react to the child's swipe at Mary, she scooted to the far side of the couch and watched uncomfortably.

(( So would Tyr...for about three seconds. xD ))
Kandajha whimpered as the lamb was pulled from his hug, staring in wide-eyed confusion at Mos, the lamb, and then up at his twin and caretaker. He gave Serkan a 'You did something!' look, to which the girl shrugged, a strange sense of curiousity flitting onto her gray and bloody features. She didn't know what happened either, all she did was reach out! Maybe the gashes on her slashed hands scared them? Her mouth was hidden behind Tyr's shoulder, but she was grinning at the thought. They were right to be afraid of her! Good for them.
Tyr was thinking similar thoughts; he wouldn't put any animals in her reach, either. Then again, he didn't want to be in her reach. The teen chuckled at the way Mos was acting at the mere idea of introducing himself, and Tyr reached down to grasp the boy's hand like he had done with Pave. "Tyr Xerxes, nice to meet you, Mos." He repeated with a smile.
Andy promptly forgot about the lamb, since he was so close to Mos now. The azure-eyed boy stared at the other, reaching up with a chubby hand to pat Mos's cheek, underneath his eyes. " 'een! 'Een 'eawed!" He dubbed Mos 'Seaweed' with a final pat to the boy's cheek, before looking up at Serkan and pointing at Mos' eyes. "Eh, Erka'! 'een 'eawed!" He told her proudly, to which he received a blank stare that no child should ever possess.

Mos looked at the blond boy. Eaweed? Seaweed? This was strange. He shrugged, assuming that the boy's name was "Seaweed". Mos smiled and patted the boy on the head as well. "Hug?" He opened his arms in offering. Maybe "Weed" would like a hug, though he didn't trust Weed's sister. Erka, did he call her? He didn't trust Erka. Their guardian was something different altogether. Tyr was wonderfully nice and funny. Mos turned back to Weed and smiled.

Kandajha was positively thrilled at the idea of a hug, and his shriek of glee told everyone so. He leaned forward and wrapped his chubby arms as best as he could around the older boy. "Heeee! 'eaweed hu-ugh Andee!" He squealed out again, completely oblivious to the way his twin's face contorted at those overly cheerful sounds. Serkan stared accusingly at the black-haired child...and she wondered how to get him away from them, simply to make her stupid bright twin to shut up and stop shrieking. She knew from experience that her touch made people flinch and/or jump away, so...
"Ow, not so loud Andy...you're gonna blow out someone's eardrums...SERKAN DON'T YOU DARE!" He hissed suddenly, seeing a chubby and slashed gray arm reach out towards Mos's forehead. He knew from experience how god awful her touch was to bare skin, and that was the reason he mainly wore long sleeved shirts and gloves...however today, he didn't have any clean clothes like that, so he took the dangerous route and settled for a T-shirt that showed his battle scars with the helion.
Serkan hissed in return now that she was caught, and paid her charming caretaker back by smacking his cheek bone with her chubby hand, leaving her deathly touch there for a moment or two before pulling back, settling into an angry glower and a few annoyed hisses behind his shoulder. Tyr was getting smart, and he tried his hardest to show her that he wasn't affected by it anymore; though inside, his mind was thanking got that abnormally, deathly cold touch was over.
"Don't, under any circumstances, let her touch bare skin." He warned the other two, shuddering softly. "She refuses to wear gloves, so its best you avoid her at all costs...Andy's perfectly alright though..." He reassured them...which should've been obvious already, since the blonde boy was beaming at Pave and Mos, having already given his twin a 'don't be so mean!' stare.

Mos smiled at Weed's enthusiasm. His eyes were closed for the moment of the hug, so all he heard was Tyr shouting at the girl and the girl hissing. He opened his eyes and looked around. Everything seemed intact, so he released Weed and smiled.
Pave looked fearfully at Serkan. "D-don't touch her skin?" Pave stuttered. "What will happen?" Gruesome curiousity forced the question out of her.

"Nuu 'Erka, nuu pohken 'eaweed." Andy stated flatly, staring up with accusing blue eyes at his twin. It wasn't nice to hurt other people! ESPECIALLY his friends! Serkan just growled at him from behind their caretaker's shoulder...she seemed to like it there, mainly because she didn't have to face too much brightness from here, as it was a nice, dark place between the couch and Tyr's back.
"It just...sends this deathly cold shot through your body...it really hurts, and its pretty scary.." Tyr sighed softly, glancing over his shoulder at the infant girl. "My skin started to turn gray the one time she grabbed my finger and wouldn't let go...it went back to normal once she let go, but the coldness remains for a while after." He grimanced, touching her cheek where her chubby hand had smacked him. He could still feel it, and he didn't like it at all. "So don't let her touch you. I usually wear a lot of long sleeved shirts and gloves...but today's laundry day." Tyr admitted sheepishly.

Mos pulled out the soliloquy that had been resting in his pocket. He held it up to Weed and pointed at it. "Be or not!" He said excitedly. "Hamlet." He grinned.
Pave shuddered. "That sounds awful. What kind of a child can do that?"

Andy stared at the paper as it was shown to him, his wide blue eyes trying to figure out what it was. "Bee-er-no?" He asked in reply, holding the fingers on his right hand against his palm, a babyish sign that he was trying to understand it. "Bee-er-no! Bee-er-no!" He squealed happily, clapping his hands together then placing both chubby appendages on the paper. "Haaaamel." He giggled out.
The more this black haired annoyance made her twin squeal, the more Serkan wanted to touch his forehead to correct this. Growling to herself, she sunk a little lower behind Tyr's shoulder, so she could barely see over him. Stupid boy!
"She can, apparently...But I don't know what the hell she is. I don't know what the hell they are. They have no legs!" He felt the need to remind Pave, pointing at the twisting gray whisps that connected the two. Obviously, Tyr wasn't happy at all with his infant charges. Obviously he wanted to get rid of them.

Mos giggled. "Weed is Hamlet." He decided. He pulled the paper gently from Weed and read aloud, "Bo or not be. That is ques...quest...queston." He grinned proudly at the blond boy. "Mos is Hamlet too." He put a hand to his chest in a gesture of pride.
Pave shrugged. "Lots of things in Gaia have no legs. Just gotta get used to it. Around here, there are people who have huge households of children, dozens, sometimes. I myself only have seven or eight, but I'm still trying to get more." She nodded, almost lost in thought.
