Welcome to Gaia! ::

The pair of adults showed up together, carpooling as usual. Stasia hummed, carrying little Ae in. The half elf was simply brimming with excitement; she couldn't wait to see the baby! She was a bit miffed about no one calling her for the pregnancy, but she wouldn't hold it against them. As long as she got to meet the little cutie, it was all good.

Ae looked slightly intrigued. A new baby meant a new possible pet, or better....a minion. The dark-haired infant had a smirk at the thought, fingers steepling up as she plotted. So, it was a girl and her name was Leyla, eh? Acceptable enough, though she thought the name could have been better. She could rename her pet, so it was okay.

Milo was none to thrilled. The boy slunk behind the stupid adults, scowling. He didn't want to come see some stupid baby. What was so special about a baby? Just cause they were new? Feh. Whatever. He wanted to stay at home, but no. Dad made him come. Stupid prissy-pants father. Feh.

Matthias was looking forward to meeting his daughter; it should prove to be interesting, to say the least. Oh, he was still pissed. He wanted to rend those damnable Azoulais limb from limb and bathe in their blood, but he held no anger towards the child. It wasn't her fault, after all.

Stasia smiled, hugging Devi. "I missed you too, kiddo." she said, smiling as she ruffled his mop of silver. She was about to answer Loki when she heard the crash. She handed Ae over to Loki silently before hurrying towards the sound of the crash. Oh dear!

Matth took Leyla from Loki, smiling slightly at his son. "So, this is your younger sister?" he asked, looking amused. She was a beautiful little girl, wasn't she? Had to come from his side of the family. "Leyla, was it? A pleasure to meet you, little one." he greeted softly.

Milo smirked at Devin, amused. "I'm bigger now." he said, looming over the boy. Oh, he was having too much fun with this. "How's my favorite little smuuuuurf doing?" He asked, drawling out the smurf part.

Aesica reached out to her pet, looking at the blue fae. "See?" she asked, looking up at Loki and motioning to the baby. Her expression was completely innocent and curious....and completely falsified. Her eyes were the only honest part of her face, glinting mischievously and curiously.

"No you're not." Stasia cut in, smiling at Howl as she stepped in. She walked over, giving Zee a hug. "How're you feeling?" she asked, peering at him with a smile.

Aesica smiled, peering at Leyla. "Hello, littlest sister." she greeted, reaching out to pat her sister. She took a small breath, testing her sister's energy. Yep, she was acceptable. Definitely pet material, maybe even edible...

Matthias smiled, looking down at the little girl. "My, what nice fangs you have." he said, giving the infant a small hug. "She seems so sweet....you sure she's a trouble maker?" he asked, looking back up to Loki.

Milo just smirked. "Haven't you heard the saying that unseelie never forgive nor forget?" he said, flicking the boy on the top of the head. "Let go of me, will you? You're mussing up my shorts."

Stasia smiled, kissing his cheek. "Sorry to hear that, Zee." she said. "And don't worry about it, it wasn't your fault. She smiled, sitting next to the dark elf. "I saw her in passing. I was too worried about seeing how you were doing to get a good look." He still wasn't looking too good, poor guy.

Aesica smirked at the hiss, leaning closer. "Busted." she cooed, before laughing her ice-cold laugh. "Pets shouldn't hiss. Bad manners." she chastised, patting the blue faerie on the head.

Matthias looked concerned. "I'll have to teach her how to feed properly, then." he said, sighing. He then smiled, looking down at Leyla. He chuckled, amused. "Oh, you can't, can't you?" he asked, trying not to laugh.

Stasia smiled, hugging him gently. "You need some rest." she said, her tone worried. "Maybe Matthias could take Leyla for a few days to let you recouperate? I'm sure he wouldn't mind." She chuckled. "And it's not his fault. It's the Azoulai's fault."

"We're the same size." Aesica pointed out, looking up at Loki with wide, innocent eyes. She looked to Leyla, smiling sweetly. "Either pet or food. You pick." she cooed, using the same tone Mom used with her.

Matthias nodded, then looked down to Leyla. "I like you too, little one." he said, smiling as he took a seat with the infant. "So....little Leyla....how do you eat?" he asked, gauging the situation before he started teaching.

"Of course he would." Stasia said, nodding and smiling. "I promise I'll keep an eye on Matth and help him take care of the little cutie." She rested her head against him, smiling. "Matth's good with kids. He raised me, after all, and I turned out perfectly fine."

Aesica sighed. "Well, if she doesn't know, it shouldn't bother her." she pointed out, crossing her arms. She reached out towards Leyla again, giving a silent hiss as the adult moved away to sit down. Curse the tall one, curse him!

Matthias nodded, listening. "You should feed on others; your father needs time to recuperate." he suggested, smiling. He tried not to chuckle at the infant's comment. "Perhaps your siblings or Stasia would be acceptable for the time being?"

Milo thought a moment. Friends, no. But....a minion could be useful. Someone to help him and do his bidding. "Alright." the boy said, his tone smooth as silk and sweet as honey as he smiled at the boy, kneeling down to his level. "I'm sorry about calling you a smurf, Devin."

Stasia nodded, smiling and hugging her fiance. Oh, that was such a smart move, not voicing that opinion. The half-elf would have hit him. "If he doesn't, he'll figure it out." she said, shrugging. "So, how does she eat?"

Aesica looked up at him, smiling. "I like pets. I have some, going to get more." she said, shrugging. "You favorite, though." she assured him, reaching up to pat his cheek.

Milo smirked, patting Devin. "It's okay." he said, chuckling. He then turned, looking to the little blue girl. "So, this is the baby?" he asked, leaning in to get a good look at the girl.
