Nai swims in the fountain with his wand on the edge. He needs to figure out what to do from this point. He floats at the edge of the fountain and looks, with his nose at the edge, at the wand. Hmm... Then he looks up and around. It's a wonder that there's no one around at the moment.

Surprise.
When Nai twists around, he gets to see a little fox-baby sitting on the fountian, chubby legs crossed, wide golden eyes on the other man. Dark blue and black ears flicked closer, gumming quietly on his wand.
"..." Silence was predominant as the quiet child, soft tail swishing back and forth on the rough rock of the fountian.

Nai watches the child for a few moments in silence. He's not one to waste words either, and definately not to one that doesn't seem able to talk back. His eyes drift down and he notices the wand that the baby is gnawing on.
Interesting. The baby can't be the guardian of that wand... Did he take it from someone? Or perhaps... Is he the baby that wand belongs to? Nai paddles back a little and rests himself against the edge of the fountain and, still in silence, watches the child.

Yashima continued to gnaw on the ivory wand, tail flicking a bit more at the others silence. His nose wriggled quietly, head cocking to the side. And then..
"...agah?" He was still a baby, afterall. No langauge abilities yet. The wand was removed from his mouth for a brief wave in the air before it went right back into his mouth, chewing at it happily.

Feeling he needs to respond to this in some way, Nai nods and waves... Well, it technically isn't his wand. It's the wand of the little girl that will be born from it. But he waves it to the fox-child anyways and nods to him, replying, "Nice to meet you."
Nonsensical it may be, but it's polite.

"Yashima!" Patricks voice rang through the gardens and the harried looking Gaurdian ran up, scooping up the fox child worriedly. "How the hell did you get on top of that?! Did you learn to crawl? I turneda round and--"
He paused, blinking at the curious man in the fountian. Eyebrows arch, head cocking to the side. "...hello."
Yashima didn't protest being scooped up or cuddled close, still as quiet as ever. One hand curled up in his fathers shirt as the dark, pierced man spoke to the other fox, peeking back at Nai. His tail still waved free, swishing gently back and forth.

Nai looks up as he sees the dark man run through the gardens to pick the little fox boy up. He smiles a little at this, glad to see that the boy wasn't just wandering on his own without someone to take after him. He nods to Patrick, though he doesn't say much at first. He just looks at the foxboy for a few more moments with a wistful look on his face.
After a few moments he nods to the guardian and asks, "So I suppose the kit there is yours?"

"Yeah...This is Yashima.." The baby was shifted slightly so his weight was on Patricks hip. He continued to stare, despite his father being right there. "He's the reborn soul of a messanger of Inari, hence the fox ears and tails. I'm Patrick. Ordinary mortal."
The science geek hesitated, peering at the wand Nai held, "And who's this little lady?" True, he couldn't FEEL that it was a girl but...well, damnit, it had a bow. It meant it was a girl.

Nai raises an eyebrow as he looks at the baby, then at Patrick. The mutters something along the lines of "I wish there weren't so many new things in this world." Before replying, "It's nice to meet you Patrick, and Yashima. I'm Nai. And this..." He looks down at the wand before shaking his head, "I havn't a clue. I just met her today..." Yeah, it's a her. Ianna said so. Didn't she?

"Mm?" His eyebrows quirked at the mutter, ignoring Yashimas tightening fingers. "Just today? Well... I know it's a big shock but.. You'll get attatched."
A faint smile touched the mans lips. Yashima paused in his gnawing, narrowing his eyes to stare at the wand. He tried as hard has he could but he couldn't do what Coailiann did - he couldn't make their heads connect. Ah well.
"And at least you know her gender! I had to guess with Yashima - he was a hard little bugger to figure out."
"Mmph," The kit agreed, cuddling back into his father. One chubby finger pointed directly at Nai and he...yipped?! Before those fingers were into his mouth and he proceeded to suck on them.

Unfortunately for Nai, he has no way to understand what that yip could mean. Yashima's father there would know more than he. He nods to Patrick and shrugs, "It's hard to get attached when it's no more than wood and bow... But I suppose I'll like it more when she actually comes out. If she does. I still can't figure out what all this means. How does a wand turn into... Well..." He points to Yashima, "That?"

"Well... I'm the only person who's actually gone through the entire process...so.." He tapered off, shrugging a little as he ruffled his sons hair. Yashima didn't look too pleased at that, but his eyes only narrowed more and he hunched his shoulders, sucking harder at his fingers.
"They start off as a...as the wand. And like Yashima's wand." Patrick shifted to sit on teh edge of the fountian, smoothing down Yashimas hair again, "Then the wand...well, my wand started to shake and this little wisp came out. About two weeks later, the wisp became a bigger cloud of stuff - solid stuff, and it HELD the wand. Like..a week later and it turned into Yashima here. I didn't see that though - I was in another room when it happened. He was naked though. So buy some clothing."

Nai frowns a little at that, trying to imagine it. At least it makes more sense than the limited explanation that Ianna had told him. He nods a little bit, "Clothing. Right. I'll have to get on that." He stretches and hops up on the edge of the fountain. After giving out a sigh due to cracking his back, something he needed badly, he looks back at Patrick.
"Wait, did you say you were the first to get this far?"

"Yep." His voice was soft, fingers stroking through the kits hair tenderly. "Coailiann is a baby but...she kind of fastforward. Yashima is the first to hit the baby stage through all three stage, wisp things naturally... Other then Coailiann and Yashima, there are no other babies. Yes. Hopefully."
Yashima nodded fiercely, head tilting to press his full cheek to the dark chest, curling closer with a little purr, toes flexing slightly. "Mmm."

Nai sighs a little bit and looks at the wand laying on the edge of the fountain where he had left it after waving to Yashima. Then he nods again, "Guess that would make you much of an expert, then. Hum." He shakes his head before getting off the edge of the fountain. He puts his shirt and vest back on, not wanting to clothe himself with the cloak again unless absolutely needed. He puts the wand in his pocket before nodding to Patrick, "You're rather lucky. You've got a wonderful baby boy, and he seems to like you a lot. I can only hope that, whenever the little girl comes out of this wand, we have half as good as a relationship as you two have."
