Session One! Zasalamel looked calm and collected on the outside, but on the inside, he was nervous. He hid the fact he as fidgeting by playing with Duke, his albino deer-like younger brother. Duke's normal coloured twin, the spotted brat named Prince, was busy staring into a nearby mirror, one placed there for that specific purpose. On the couches slept a humanoid unicorn baby and a spider-guardian child, both children that were not Neveah's but still currently under Zasalamel's charge.
Why was the tall Drow surrounded by babies? Well that was easy; Neveah had gone for her last surgery, and SOMEBODY needed to watch all the little ones, especially since Verwin, their housemate, had left for the day as well. The guardian of the spider child had gone with Neveah to the hospital, as well. Luckily for him, Neveah had called Malen and asked if either himself or Kishi would like to help the Drow babysit for the day; so all he had to do was wait for someone to show up, and so far he had everything under control. Two brats slept, a spotted brat entertained himself by being a narcissist, and the albino brat was trying to get the blindfold that had been tied around his big floppy ears off of his head, much to Zah's fidgety amusement.
Kishi ran down the side walk at full speed, her shoes made thwapping sounds on the grey pavement with each step. She was training and that meant endurance like trying to jog and run most of the way from the headquarters to Zah’s house. It was grueling task but she was managing, weeks for training with her father made her stronger each day. Someday she’d be strong like her father and then maybe she’d have someone of her own to train.
For today though training would end when she reached her friend house which was only a few feet away. slowing down to a jog Kishi grinned. It was always good to see Zah especially now that he’d grown even though he was now huge compared to her. In what she had decided was no tradition Kishi had brought a handkerchief full of cookies tied around the end of her wand.
Walking up the driveway Kishi wondered what it might be like to baby-sit, she’d always been the youngest in her house and she’d never been alone with little kids before, all the wand children came with parents. Shrugging she knocked on the door and waited for her friend to reply.
Hearing the knock (actually, he first heard Kishi on the front patio, before she even knocked), he wrapped his arm around Duke's stomach in such a way that the boy was doubled over, holding the little boy against his hip like that; Duke didn't seem to mind, since his little tail was wagging and his hard, pinkish hands were still trying to get the red blindfold off. Besides, he didn't really know how to properly carry a deer infant; this worked anyway. As he approached the doorway he wondered if it would be alright to leave the other babies in the roo; and that thought made him more nervous.
"Echk, Keyshee!" He greeted cheerfully as he opened the door, unaware that Duke was still furiously pawing at the blindfold around his ears. "Ehn?" He asked in his heavilly accented, brutal english. stepping aside to let his friend into his house. Backup was here, yay! "Lauts Baybeeh~" He informed her, just to let her know what she was getting into.
Kishi stared at Zah for a moment taking in the sight of them and the baby he was holding. She’d never seen anyone carry a baby that way before but as long as it wasn’t fussing there probably wasn’t any harm in it.
She grinned at her friend before replying to him while stepping into the house . “Hey Zah I brought cookies again I don’t think babies can eat them but that’s ok.” She wondered how many babies equalled a lot to her friend. “ Lot’s of babies is good, then there are more to play with.” Kishi briefly wondered if she liked babies because she was a girl or because she was raised by her her father who adored children. “ You’ll have to tell me all their names.”
Zah brightened at the mention of cookies, but there were more pressing matters...like...the babies. He didn't think having many babies would be fun, but that was either because Drow men never ever interacted with infants, or because Neveah didn't really adore them to the point of fawning over them, but she was getting better. When asked to introduce them, he shifted the albino fawn so his hands were under the boy's arms but on his torso, showing the pink-eyed boy to his friend. "Dook." He said as best as he could. At the same time Zah said his name, Duke got the blindfold off of his ears; and though he hadn't realized he didn't know Kishi, he showed her the blindfold proudly, his disproportionate ears and his tail wiggling and wagging in excitement.
The Drow then set the happy albino infant on the ground on his rear before moving to close the door behind Kishi. Once he was down, Duke made grabby hands for Kishi, now thinking Kishi was his mother. As an albino, he had poor eyesight; so he saw wings and connected them to Neveah; he tended to forget she didn't have wings anymore. If Kishi didn't pick him up, Zah would; and either way, he guided Kishi to the living room where all the other babies were.
"Pureence." He pointed at the spotted deer-child at the mirror. "Mehteez" He motioned to the sleeping spider-child, obviously taking great pains to neither look nor point directly at her. "Teerahna" He could point at her, but not look at her; and like the spider she was sleeping.. He made sure he got them all; Duke, Prince, Metis and Tyranna. "Lauts Baybeeh." He said again as he nonchalantly swayed his weight from foot to foot.
Kishi figured out what Zah was saying easy enough and smiled at Duke and his antics with the blindfold. When he reached up for her she couldn’t deny him and swiftly scooped him up before following her friend.
She mentally frowned at Zah’s seeming indiffernce to the female babies , she hoped he’d never treat her that way if he ever thought of her as a girl. Still on the outside she smiled while humming to Duke. “ Lots of babies but not too many , two babies to each of us.”
He wasn't indifferent; he didn't look at them because part of him enforced that he shouldn't, that it was unwanted.
"Lauts baybeehs..." Zasalamel insisted with a nervous smile, hooking his thumbs in behind the belt that was around his waist. "Naught uhndurstahnden' howh tu deel w'it baybeehs." He admitted sheepishly, one arm raising in a rather fidgety move to scratch at the side of his dark neck. Absently, he prodded Prince's diapered butt with his bare foot, making the spotted brat look over his shoulder, then subsequntly fall onto the still extended foot in a futile baby attempt at a pin.
Duke was staring wide-eyed at Kishi now. Now he knew Kishi WASN'T his mother, and he was both confused and upset at this. Once, he broke his stare to look at his funny-talking dark skinned brother. It was quite an acomplishment to make his funny-accented brother calm around a girl, and since even the Drow was comfortable with her, Duke decided he would be too. The first thing he decided to do after his newly discovered comfort with this girl, he tried to cllimb over her shoulder in an attempt to pat at her funny wings.
Kishi smiled there had been a lot of babies at the headquarters in the past so she had vauge idea of what to do though she was no expert .” Let the girls sleep and when they wake up we’ll feed them” she said firmly. Babies slept and ate a lot , that much she knew, she just hoped Zah knew how and what to feed them. Her grey eyes scanned the sleeping forms but didn’t see any sign of them getting ready to stir.
Kishi kept a firm grip on Duke thought she let him clamber about on her, as long as she kept him from falling there shouldn’t be a problem. “ Be gentle Duke” she warned though she couldn’t remember is babies understood people at this age or not. Her memories were a bit fuzzy about that time in her life.
She laughed at Prince’s attack “ You teaching him to wrestle?.” Kishi was mildly aware that Zah was speaking english much better these days. she was happy with that fact but decided she still should try and learn undercommon so he didn’t always have to speak english.
"Jugare, Gud ideeah." Zasalamel thought about it for a moment, wiggling his toes into the soft-fur on his younger sibling's stomach, consequently making the spotted brat squeal with laughter. "Matron lehft gide en fud prepahren pulace." His last few words were sheepish. "Furgoht wurd...." He admitted quietly. As always, the Drow spoke slowly, to both ensure he pronounced it right and to ensure his companion understood him. "Nehd hehlp tu reed." He muttered under his breath, sheepish over the fact he still had a long way to go. He bet Kishi could read just fine!
Duke didn't understand, but by nature he was fearful of everything. So he touched Kishi's wing first as if he were testing to see if it were hot or not...and then he put his pinkish, hard hand on it and pet at it, making sure to not keep his hoof-like appendage on the black thing for too long.
"Mehbee." Zah chuckled softly, slightly lifting his foot when Prince grabbed his ankle, suspending the boy in the air, though aside from his legs, the boy had the black foot to rest his belly on, to keep him up. "Dun thynk Preence beh gud feyeter." He shrugged a bit, staring down in confusion when he felt the younger boy bite and tug on his pant leg. Yeah, deer-like fear missed this one by a few thousand miles.
Kishi smild softly at Zah “I’ll help you read it, Deltaught me to read , it’s good to have older siblings,” she paused. “ I’ll teach you and someday you can teach duke and prince to read”. Kishi liked the idea of helping Zah learn things especially then she could make requests of him in return “ Will you tech me to read and write like you normally do?”
Duekes touch was gentle and didn’t bother Kishi so she let him continue his actions. He was a very cute baby and she supposed that if she ever had a baby someday she’d want him to be like that.
Kishi snickered at Zah’s second set of words and Princes’s subsequent response . “ I think he’s a good fighter just not right” she frowned at the baby deer “ No biting, biting is not fair.”
Zasalamel brightened again when Kishi offered to teach him to read. "Rehlee?!" He said excitedly, partially twisting his torso to better face her. Somehow through this, he still managied to stay balanced on one foot without fumbling. He had amazing balance for a kid. "Thenken youh, Keyshee!" Against what the Drow part of his mind screamed, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders for a big hug; he still hadn't shifted off balance, either...even once he let her go. "Jugare, Zah teech Keyshee Ilythiiri." It seemed like a fair trade: English for Drowish.
Of course, Prince didn't understand Kishi, but her talking managed to stop him. He just stared up at her as though he'd seen her for the first time - which was true - and waved his brown and white tail. A pretty girl! A pretty girl who could pay attention to him, too! He reached out for Kishi, forgetting he was balanced on Zah's lifted foot. Of course, he didn't have his funny-talking brother's balance, so instead of grabbing Kishi, he fell headfirst off of Zah's foot, landing on the carpeted floor with a thud. Shaking his head, Prince pushed himself up and plopped hisself back down on his diapered rear, pawing at his snout with his hard black hands. "Dun tink Preence es cahreng~" Zasalamel said with a chuckle and a shrug.
Duke didn't have any balance either, so after a moment or two of pawing at the wings, he started to slide off of Kishi's shoulders and back down her front; it didn't seem to bother him, his infant instincts told him he'd be caught. Instead of wailing, he let out a giggle, much like his spotted twin on the floor.

Session Two! Kishi wondered if all the smiles and giggles were why her father and she loved babies so much. She wondered how anyone could not like something that was always so happy and playfull, they were like kittens only people shaped.
The joy she’d been feeling multiplied when Zah took the initiative to hug her, normally she tooks the first steps in their friendship but Zah was apprentely really comfy with her theses days. And again she was happy as he accepted her offer . “ I can’t wait to learn, “ She looked thoughtful “ Should we feed them all togeather or two at a time.” Kishi wasn’t sure she could handle feeding two babies at once.
She eyed Prince and laughed “ you are just as cute as your brother and probably more trouble. Maybe because Prince’s are higher royalty then Dukes.” Kishi wasn’t certain if that was possible but one never knew.
Kishi might've been happy hearing a little one giggle, but it always confused Zah: He'd done a lot of giggling, sure...but he didn't remember any of that now...it was all really fuzzy. All he did know was what the Drow in him said; and that was a happy infant is an undiciplined infant...so a child's laughter always confused him. He ever said anything though, as it was never a male's place to help with child rearing. Of course this was also why fathers like Malen or Onuris confused him.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have hugged her. But as things stood, he really, REALLY wanted to be able to communicate with everyone else, properly. That was really why he hugged her; he was happy someone other than Neveah offered...he couldn't expect Neveah to help right now anyway, it would be rude of him to demand that of her, what With the surgeries and all. "Lehmeh noh wen Keyshee whish tu starrht." He said once he let her go.
Prince knew he was being talked about, so his black hands stopped moving, but they stayed on his snout while his impossibly large brown eyes stared up at Kishi. His little tail was wagging again, and his whole rear end seemed to wiggle slightly right along with it. Duke yawned, nuzzling his white snout and pink nose into the side of Kishi's neck...and then if on cue, both twins started to whine lightly.
"Matron gehve Preence laybel frohm Bambhi." Zasalamel scratched his nose at his words, pretending he didn't forget the word 'name'...then he motioned to the DVD of Bambi that sat on top of the TV. "Dook's laybel frohm nehxt surfayce wurld royahltee" He tried to explain it as Neveah had explained it to him, but somehow he figured he didn't do it justice. Well...at least he had tried. When the twins started to whine, his purple eyes widened and he looked at Kishi.
"Huhngree?" He asked her, as if she would know. Really, he was useless when it came to kids.
A baby whinging almost directly in her ear was not something Kishi enjoyed. Still isnt’ duke fault that he was hungry, well she hoped he was just grungy anyways because if it was ’ that thing” Zah was on his own she was here to baby sit not baby change.
She nodded “ Let’s go to the kitchen and see what we are supposed to feed them.” she eyed the too children still sleeping as long as they stayed quite they should be ok alone for a few minutes.
Leaning down, Zasalamel picked up Prince. The tall kid tried to hold the little deer like Kishi was holding Prince...but he failed miserably, and instead had one of his lanky arms wrapped around his younger brother's back and the other under his brother's diapered rear, holding the baby against his chest that way. No matter how he held his younger brother, the tall, lanky Drow looked awkward...even his eyes could tell anyone he wasn't comfortable holding a baby, even though he really wanted to.
When they reached the Kitchen, Zasalamel motioned with his head to the paper on the counter. "Frohm Ilhar." He informed Kishi, standing nearby so he could look over her shoulder while she read it. The paper was just a list of the things they might need; from where the diapers were to how long they should sleep, to how much food they should eat. More importantly though was what they ate, and all Neveah had to say for that was 'For any baby, take one of the bottles from the fridge and put it in the microwave for 45 seconds.'. Simple.
Kishi read the list to herself first then repeated the food portion to Zah, if they needed the other information later she could tell him that then. " I think I can hold both babies while you get the bottles and heat them" she offered. Partially she wanted her friend to look less out of sorts and partially she wanted a chance to hold the more active and interesting Prince.
Zasalamel nodded when she read out to him, turning Prince around and holding him out like he'd held Duke out to her when she first showed up. Once she took him from her, he got the bottles out, and did just as Neveah and Kishi told him too.
Prince stared up at Kishi. This was the girl who was complimenting him earlier! INSTANT Good book, right there! He wiggled happily, licking at her cheek and generally acting more canine than deer. Duke had gone silent and still once Prince was on this Kishi girl, and he seemed to be trying his best to turn invisible: this was hard when you were as white as he was. Unfortunately, Prince saw him.
As the microwave beeped signaling the 45 seconds were up, the introverted Duke gave out a loud, whined cry when the happily wiggling Prince hit him.
Kishi who’d never been licked by anything other than kit before had been a bit surprised when Prince had started tasting her. Of course according to dell back during easer she’d dome around licking Easter eggs so who was she to talk. It was cute thought and made her smile “ You are far too cute, I wish I could keep you, I haven’t got any brothers.” Kishi decided then and there that she was going to demand a brother for christmas.
She was forced to take back her word only a moment later when Prince decided his brother was for hitting.. She frowned and narrowed her grey eyes at the boy “No prince no hitting or …” she was at a lost for words and looked at Zah for help for a suitable punishment.
Zasalamel didn't know what Christmas was either; Neveah hadn't gotten the chance to explain it yet.
Apparently Duke crying didn't phase him; he was even surprised when Kishi turned to him, wanting him to finish her sentence. Instead of answering her, he just took Duke from her and handed her a bottle. "Preence lyke het Dook...Ahlweys het Dook...." He said quietly after a moment, wiggling the n****e of the bottle into Duke's mouth, like he'd seen Neveah do time and time again. "Dook het bahk tu, sumtymehs. Ilhar jus' sey sthop." Really, Prince always hit Duke, no matter that Neveah said. It was always only Duke though, and neither of the twins had ever hit Zasalamel, Tyranna, Verwin or Neveah.
Prince stared at Duke as he was taken away, then stared up at Kishi...only to hear Duke drinking fro the bottle. When he heard that, he wiggled in Kishi's grasp, trying to nab the bottle she had so he could eat, too. It didn't phase him that Kishi had tried to punish him.
Well if this was normal Kishi supposed there was nothing she could or should do about it. Shaking her head and mimicked Zah’s motions with the bottle. She’d never fed anyone with a bottle before except herself and that seemed so long ago. Unable to stay mad long she soon smiled down at Prince “ Someday you’re going to grow up big like your brother, just not too soon I don’t wanna be the shortest all the time.”
Kishi wondered if being a Drow contributed to Zah’s height or if it was something in this house or if maybe he’d just dreamt himself really big. She knew that for the longest time she’d been bigger than Zah and then he’d catch up and she’d get bigger again. It was possible that it was his turn to be big now and she’d catch up eventually.
Mind straying to a previous though she looked at Zah “ Christmas is soon, what do you want as a present?” Malen had told Kishi if christmas and she was determined to get all her friends presents, even Yashi who was only a sort of friend.
Prince only stared at Kishi, his disproportionate ears twitching on occassion when she spoke to him. He didn't know what she was saying...but she was talking to him. And Feeding him. He liked her. A lot.
Zasalamel had managed to find a way to hold Duke that let him feed the boy...without it being too terribly awkward. He was concentrating on that when Kishi started to talk about Christmas. Wait. What? The Drow stared at Kishi like she'd grown a second face right infront of him. "...Wut ees thaht? Creestmahs?"
Kishi smiled at her clueless friend, not that long ago she too had had no idea what the holiday was."Christmas is the holiday people made up becuase a special person was born on december 25th. People brought him lots of gifts and things to make him and his parents happy. Now lots of people give their friends and family presents becuase they are the special people to them." Kishi's description of Christmas was a mix and match of what she'd learned and her own personal thoughts. " So what should I get you? only I have to have a list so you don't know which present it will be."
Zasalamel stared at Kishi at first, but then slowly lowered his purple eyes to stare down at his pink-eyed infant brother. Christmas was...because someone important was born and was given gifts? Really, that made no sense to him; but then again, Drow didn't give gifts out of kindness. He stayed silent for a few minutes, contemplating what was being said and trying to piece some sense into it on his own.
"Ah." He said, as if he'd figured it out. But then, what did he want? "Hnn...Ah du noht wahnt eneeting..." He said at length. Really, there was nothing he could think of that he wanted. "Soh...teecheng ehngleesh ees gud puhrehseent." Zasalamel lifted his eyes again to look at Kishi, a thin smile on his lips. "Wut fourh Keyshee puhrehseent?" Well, he figured he should try this alien-sounding holliday!
Kishi sprea her wings wide streatching them while she pondered Zah's question. What did she want for christmas aside from a brother.she just shook her head and shrugged " I don't want anything from you, you teaching me is a good gift too."
