It was definately a good thing that it had been Friday night when Greyson had left his body, and found Vekja. That meant that he didn't work today, and could afford to deal with the problem of a baby. A baby with... No gender, apparently. Feeling like a sicko, he'd checked, since the pretty, black and rainbow haired child hadn't given him any clues. The child was perfectly smooth. No genitals, no a**s... Nothing. At least it had nipples. At least that meant no diapers. Hopefully it wouldn't die.
Still. He had no baby clothes. So here he was, the child in a strange sort of blanket contraption in his arms. Vekja, he'd decided to call it, wouldn't stop grinning and trying to touch things. Actually, it wasn't always a cheerful baby, just... inventful.
Staring at the baby clothing, he couldn't find anything beige or white, and for some reason he didn't feel the urge to look for it.

Due to some circumstances, Niki hadn't managed to get out and shop before the twins arrived. So, leaving her two older girls at home (though Reign had wanted to come and help pick out cute baby clothes), Niki was now browsing the store. The first thing she'd hunted down had been a baby stroller for two and was wheeling it about the store, picking up other necessities such as two car seats, diapers, bottles, and formula.
So now she headed towards the clothing area, already loaded down with items. The two boys were sitting in just diapers in the stroller, so she needed lots of baby clothes. Luckily for her, the two boys had been fairly quiet thus far, though she'd found out fast to keep anything out of their reach.
The one called Aiden was already living up to his name as a little spitfire baby. He tried to mess up anything he got his hands on. His twin, Shito, was a calmer child and also frailer looking.
And so, with both baby boys babbling about something, Niki wheeled the stroller into the clothing section, looking about for any sale racks. Hey, if she had to buy double of everything, she'd better be buying cheap.

Greyson was looking at the more expensive fabrics, actually. Afterall, he had no life, and had a cushy job, and therefore, spent no money, although he had a lot. The man watched the baby in his arms reach out for a black, pullover and raised a brow, taking it, before noticing a woman with twins. Maybe she had some experience. The truth was always stranger than lies, so he said it, hoping she'd find it an amusing tale.
"Excuse me... I was killed by a paintcan, then had a woman explain to me I'd be getting a reborn god, then went to sleep, and woke up with this. Can you help me find suitable stuff for a babe? I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm Greyson Holly, by the way."

Niki had been holding an outfit up to Shito to see if it was the right size when the man came up. She blinked, straightening up. "Well, I got killed by a statue snapping my neck and was told that I would be getting twin reborn gods and then had a dream and woke up with these two beside me." She won, at least in her mind. "But I could help you some, I guess." She looked at the child, cursing mentally. It was hard to distinguish genders for infants. Maybe the man would say...?

Continuing their strange sort of contest as he thrusted out his black and rainbow haired child, Greyson straighted a few clothing racks and chuckled humorlessly.
"It doesn't have genitalia."
A dry statement, and Vekja beamed gorgeously at Niki, reaching for her. Charming little brat, at least.

Okay. He won. For now, at least. That would make things rather difficult. Niki glanced through the nearest rack. "Well, then, I would pick some rather unisex type outfits. There's often onesies that are in shades of yellow or green that wouldn't be blaringly boy or girl." She glanced back at the infant, noting that the child was reaching for her. She grinned at Vekja, gently grasping the kid's small hands. "Why hello there."

Even at Veki's young age, s/he already inspired everything it touched with creativity. A gift. Just like the relic had inspired Greyson to draw something other than buildings for his job. Holding the child with one hand, the man nodded at her suggestions, instead choosing several black and white garments that looked like they would fit. An especially cute one being a black onsie with a hood that had two fabric bear ears and a little tuft tail on the butt.
Pulling the strange critter back, he immediantly put Vekja into it, and buttoned it up. There, dressed.
"What are they?"
The twins, he meant.

Niki watched as the man picked out an outfit. Okay, so it wasn't green or yellow, but it at least wasn't pink or blue. The poor kid, though. She was startled out of her thoughts by the man's question. "Hmm? Oh, both are boys." She glanced over at the two. The darker haired one was tugging on an outfit that was within his grasp. The lighter haired one was just watching, calmly.

"Ah, I actually meant... Do you know what gods they are? Because I have no idea what Veki is."
Having never caught the woman's name, he simply shifted a little awkwardly, seeking to continue the conversation as the dark-haired babe made gurgling noises at the twins, wiggling fingers toward them. Greyson stepped closer.
"Mmn. My cousin, Turner, is coming to watch Vekja for me while I work. Strange, the chances that you and I should meet, no? What was your name...?"

"Oh." Niki glanced at the two boys. "I don't have a clue. No one seemed to know what their relic was." She shrugged. "My friend, Tara, has it a bit easier, for she was told what kid she got."
Niki blushed a bit. "I'm Nikiana Ledell. The darker haired boy is Aiden and his brother is Shito." The second boy looked up at his name, though Aiden ignored it and continued trying to pull the outfit in his hand off the rack. Niki gently removed the article of clothing from the boy's fist.
