As all children do, Aurora had been playing much havoc on her mother's nerves.
And as all mothers do, Ryusuke had to find a way to rest, worry free.
Now this is no easy task for one in her position.
You see, rest is naturally imposable for a mother of such a high strung child. And leaving her with a neighbor may result in suspicion when it comes to "Changing Time" as Ryu has so eloquently put it. And so this leaves us with one option and one option alone.
Cafeen and a public playground.
But in he month of Aquamarine (or Bloodstone, Depending upon your beliefs); not only is it difficult to locate a snow-free playground, but the likelihood of finding one is even further hindered by your traveling capabilities. And so, one possibilities remains; a large-open area and many vendors that will supply a raging coffee-binge. In laymen terms, a "Mall".
Now, all this was a simple introduction to the situation at hand.
Now Ryu strode down the long isles in the over-crowded shopping district, curious as to her exact purpose in this obscene display of social discord. As she held the tired infant in her arms, she muttered something along the lines of Oh, NOW you sleep, drifting her way towards the hair-care section.
After all, black hair did not enjoy staying blonde for long.

Stroller? Check. Godling? Check. Luna Moth? Check. Dragon? Check. Day by day it seemed that Tara's energy expenditure was growing. Taking the more normal mode of transportation, a silverly cloudesque object, the mage prepared to brave the mall. Between Korin growing, and Aysel's newfound 'maturity' clothing was in short supply. And she couldn't exactly dress Korin in his sister's old clothing, though the mage had contemplated it.
"Stay here with Korin and I'll be right back. I'm going to go get some spices from Chef Imporium," Tara pointed at a densely packed store, "And I will return to this spot immediately. Don't. Go. Anywhere."
Barely keeping from rolling her eyes, the luna moth nodded, pulling her brother's stroller closer with her two left arms. "Okay.. We'll be fine. We have Pala to guard us." The bronze puffed up at that. With a nod, her mom dissapeared into the store.
As she waited impatiently, Aysel scanned the mall. Boring. Boring. Boring... Hey.. There was a hair place. Idly toying with the nearly white strands of blonde hair, Aysel pondered. Her cousin Ala had dyed her hair, and it looked pretty neat. Maybe she could find a cool color to add into her own. Her mind decided, Aysel grabbed Korin's stroller with her upper hands and began to search in her purse with her lowers.
A growl stopped the two mid-way, as Apala scrabbled to stop the two. With a jerk, Aysel put her hands on her hips, letting the stroller run into Apala. "We're just going next door. You can even stay here and wait for Mom. We'll be back before she even gets done," the girl protested.
Gently catching the stroller, Pala glanced inside to check on Korin. Perfectly fine, the boy was watching everyone with wide eyes, content to sit there and observe. Gently tapping the boy with curved claws, he started to push the stroller back.
After a small argument, Aysel and Korin headed towards the hair place. As she pushed down the dye aisle, the ever inquisitive godling reached out and grabbed a bottle.

'Twasn't long before the guardian had gotten used to the calming quiet; but as unfortunate events go, it wasn't to last. Ryu had hardly enough chance to reach out for her favored brand of dye before the young goddess began her cranky rampage. Angry at being anywhere but her own bed, Aurora began her tantrum. She let out a cry and threw up her arms, both stretching her sleepy body and knocking the box out of her mother's hand. Ryu smacked the child's hand lightly, whispering a quick "Behave..!" before kneeling down to retrieve the box.
Obviously, this didn't please the young deity.
Interested in pressing her keeper's buttons again, she kicked out her legs. In doing so, her skirt flared around the furry limbs and knocked several more boxes and bottles from the shelves. Naturally, her mother's temper was far shorter then usual, and due to this reason and this reason alone, Ryusuke Argentina did something she really shouldn't have.
She put down the godling.
Thinking that child had not yet learned to explore, she laid down the infant at her side. She began to clean up the mess, re-stacking the boxes that were knocked down. Aurora thrashed around on the ground for no particular reason, letting out a shrill cry.
This was sure to catch the attention of any passerby.

The loud shriek caught Aysel's and Korin's attention. Startled the boy dropped the bottle he had been holding. Fortunately it was plastic and just rolled when it hit the floor. Farther down the aisle a woman was scrambling to pick up boxes of die, while a child screamed on the floor.
Leaning forward in his stroller, Korin watched the tantrum intently before holding out his snack to the girl. "'Nanna?" He asked, though they were far enough away that it probably wouldn't have been heard over the screaming.

Now having two hands to devote to her task, the woman made short work of the small chaotic situation. Again, she scooped up the temperamental child and pressed a finger to her wide-spread lips. "Stiffel that racket or you shan't have thee bear when we return home."
Aurora simply gaped at her mother.
Never before had Teady been a bargaining chip. Obviously, the infant fell quiet, having no intention of loosing her most prized possession over such a silly thing. Ryu let out a soft, loving and nurturing smile and cuddled the young deity close. "Such a good girl" she whispered, not regestering that the child's attention no longer rested on her own person. Aurora's eyes drifted as the bottle continued rolling down the isle, and pondered where it had originated. She looked back up the lane and let out a meek, yet happy smile. "Baa... <3" she said, again making the grabbing motion towards the newcomer.

Oh look! She was interested. "Sissy. Sissssyy..." Korin pointed down the aisle with his snack food. With a groan, Aysel turned towards her little brother. Placing the box of hair die she was looking at the luna moth snapped, "What?"
Korin pointed emphatically down the ailse to the other girl and the bottle he dropped.
With a roll of her eyes the girl pushed the stroller towards the bottle, accidentally knocking it closer to Aurora. As the luna moth scrambled to pick it up, Korin offered his bananna again. "'Nanna?"

The young girl squealed and reached for the fruit. "Naaaa~!" she said enthusiastically.
"I'll get you something to eat when we're done here," the mother replied, not realizing that there was someone behind them. As she began to step back, the child let out a shrill cry of warning, but it was too late. Ryu tripped on the wheel of the carriage and crashed to the floor. Aurora was alright, though she was quite worried for her mother. She reached up and poked her mother's nose. "Buu...?"
"Yes, 'Boom'," the adult groaned and sat up, looking to see what she had stumbled over.
Being free from her mother's grasp, she took this opportunity to 'crawl' to the other child.

Korin jerked back, startled by the large crash and dropping his bannana to the floor in surprise. When the metaphorical dust settled, the toddler leaned forward and tried to pull himself out of the stroller, interested in examining the baby's most interesting bottom half.
"Sisssy..." the boy whined, banging on his. Aysel groaned and finally managed to grab the bottle with one hand. Spinning around, the luna moth jerked Korin out of his seat and plopped on the ground.
"Behave," the preteen hissed as she hurried to go put the bottle back.

Aurora moved on, getting closer to the 'my-size' play friend. * Sitting up, she got nose to nose with the stranger. Having only once ever seen another her size, this was quite a treat indeed. "Baa Boooo" she said, batting her eyelashes at him innocently. Being at the age in which one speaks mostly in a series of strange noises, perhaps this meant "Oh my! It seems we are quite alike." or perhaps, "Pardon me, my good sir, but did you happen to say something earlier?"
Ryu watched over her child carefully, reaching over and fixing her girl's skirt post haste. Her first and foremost concern had long since been switched from financial security to the girl's well-being. And if I may say so, being discovered to be the owner of a hybrid goat-child was not the way to ensure her safety. Though, the little girl didn't notice her mother's actions, for meetings such as this were oh so rare. Situating herself again, she reached up and touched the strange boy's face. "Baa!" she squealed, giving him a friendly tap on the nose.
(I just got the horrible image of one of those "My Size Barbie"s back from the '90s. D=)

The 'my-size' play friend blinked as Aurora moved in closer, pulling back just a bit. Korin was far more comfortable being the one to investigate and bug into other people's personal space and the sudden invasion into his was met with no small confusion and surprise. "Nanna?" He offered again, scrambling to find that most yummy of foods. Sadly... He had been seated upon it and squashed the thing. Scraping some together into his hand he offered it anyway.
But alas, such was not to be. For the other girl reached and bopped him on the nose. "No!" Korin yelped pushing the other girl (with mashed banana still on his hand). Even the interesting parts of the girl were forgotten in this most grevious insult to his... nose.
Aysel finished putting the bottle back and started to look at the hair dyes, half her attention on Korin. At the sudden 'no' she glanced over for a moment. "He can take care of himself.." she muttered quietly before going back to the hair die.

Aurora tilted her head to the side, giving to the boy nothing more then a look with implications of insanity. "Nyo?" she mimicked, her soft yet squeaky voice turning this word of objection more so into a comical antic of innocence.
Ryusuke's objections were known; not only by the expression of her face, but the way she restrained and withheld her strong prowess from lashing out at the other child. Obviously, that would have been a foolish thing to do, but you see how an over-protective mother may be tempted at the prospect of further preserving the safety of her child; if only from a mere shove.
However, she chose instead to lean forward and brush some of the filth from her charged garb. But alas, this was only greeted by a light slap to the hand and a squeaky interjection from one furry little girl.
"Nyo!" she squealed in glee, pushing her caretaker's appendage far from her.
In doing so, the child obtained some of the strange substance and, with a curious glance, proceeded to give it a taste. As her efforts found to be within arms-reach of incredibility, the babe squealed and hugged close her new friend; most likely met witch much protest and fuss. "Nyo Nyoooo~!" she exclaimed in such a proud and pleased mannor, adoring this new-found treat.
(sorry.. it's jsut past midnight here and I feel I may have repeated myself quite a bit.. Sorry!! ^^;;;; wink

Korin watched Aurora closely, not paying much attention to the mother. The other godling seemed to get the idea of 'No', a word of which his own mommy was fond. She even repeated it and didn't seem interested in bopping his nose anymore.
Completely ignoring the fact that he had not enjoyed being accosted the god of Illusion went straight back to the interesting problem of the girl's feet. Korin leaned forward to try and touch the strangely textured legs when a sudden force latched onto him. He had strayed to far into Aurora's territory it seemed.
"NO!" Korin protested strongly, trying to get his banana covered hands up and between them. "Nononononooooo..SISSY!" He squirmed, trying to get out of the girl's arms. Didn't she understand no? He didn't wanna be hugged.
Aysel looked over her shoulder with a huff. Honestly. Couldn't he just deal with it on his own. With a flutter of her wings she placed the box she had been looking at back and stomped over to Korin.
And was that his banana smushed all over the floor? Brothers. They were so stupid. "Korin. Stop being such a crybaby," rather obviously she didn't share her brother's concern.
Finally Tara made it out of the packed store and back to Apala. Ice formed in her stomach as she saw the dragon alone. "You are supposed to be protecting Aysel," The mage growled, anger masking her fear. "Where are they Apala?"
The bronze hatchling gestured toward the hair store, whining and growling in draconic. He just knew he was going to get in trouble for this.

Ryu frowned and pulled back her daughter from this other child. Leaning close, she whispered into the girl's pointed ears. Almost instantly, Aurora settled down and smiled up at her mother. "Nyoooooo" she cooed and cuddled close.
"I'm sorry for this fuss, Miss." Ryu apologized, whipping both herself and her child clean of the mess.
(*bow bow bow XDDD* I'm so sorry! I completely forgot about this thread...!!!!)

Aysel blushed as the mom called her, 'miss'. "No, no, no.. Korin's the one who brought the bannana. I'm sorry..."
Grabbing Korin and plopping the toddler back in his seat the girl hissed at him. "How could you do that! I thought you were supposed to behave!"
At that moment Tara and Apala got stopped by a nervous teenager. "Sorry ma'am but... The dragon needs to stay outside..." Shooting Pala a glare Tara stalked into the store, hunting down aisle by aisle.

Aurora, realizing that the child was being taken away from her, again grabbed at him. She'd only once ever met one other child of her size and that meeting, too, had been ended far too soon.
Ryu, though, understood this motion and cuddled the girl closer. "Now now, you've done enough damage for one day, Aurora."
The girl frowned. She didn't like being scolded, no mater how light, but what was she going to do? She didn't have enough energy for another tantrum. Hell, she wouldn't be having another of those for another few months! So, all she could do was again motion towards the boy sadly, letting out a meek "Nyoo..."
