For three days Sjajan had been consistantly approaching Indu, tugging firmly on her pant leg until the woman looked down and seriously uttering 'Juhn-Ee,' and at last, Indu had cracked. As she bent to put a pan of cookies in the oven she felt that tug and winced already.
"Juhn. Ee."
She shut the oven and glare down at her messy-haired child. Lately, her hair was getting a little long. Indu didn't think she'd cut it, she wanted to see what it'd look like, and by then, it'd be up to Jani. She sighed and leaned a hip against the kitchen's counter, eyeing the strange little babe and crossing her arms across her chest. She raised a single eyebrow and spoke in a wry tone.
"You really think you're ready for this?"
The babe put tiny hands on her hips, lifted her own eyebrow, making Indu resist the urge to smile, and responded in an almost identical, if babyish, tone.
"Yah-huh."
Indu's grin burst through, and Jani's matched as the woman reached for the phone, leaning down to fondly ruffle the blonde's hair.
"Alright then, squirt. I'll see what I can do."
She heard the ring once, twice, three times, and then it was answered. She immediantly got to the point, being a girl who hated the phone completely.
"PJ, this is Indu. So... How about that sleepover? Jani's been nagging like an old hag for days."

"Oh hello Indu, yeah sure a sleep over would be great. If you like she can over tonight?" While on the phone with Indu, Pj was trying to keep Junketsu, who he was holding, from grabbing the phone out of his hand. The phone seemed to be one of her knew favorite objects in the house.
"call? call!" Junketsu tried reaching further and further, when she found her attempts to be in vain she let out a loud wail.

"Heheh. Today would be perfect. When do you want me to drop the brat off?"
Jani bared her teeth at her mother in response for her teasing and Indu grinned.

"Well, you can drop her off now if you like. Junketsu is getting a bit...restless? And I'm sure if her friend was here she would calm down a bit."
((Need to go, be back in a few hours :3))

"Sure. See you soon."
Indu hung up and bent to lift her eager baby.
"Yeah, yeah, we're on our way..."
She strolled out the door and walked the few blocks to PJs house. Ten minutes later she rapped lightly on his door.
[Okay.]

PJ opened the door, Junketsu was in one of his arms, a wash cloth in the other. "Oh hello there Indu, just doing a bit of last minute clean up. So how are things?"
Junketsu looked at Jani and waved merrily, she had been seeing alot of her of late, and did not really like being away from her. "ani!"

Indu gave her friend a relieved smile and walked in, shrugging as she put the wriggling Sjajan down.
"They're about to get a whole lot better, considering you're taking the blonde brat off my hands."
She meant it affectionately, and it was rather obvious from the way she smiled at the girl.
Sjajan was happy, really happy. This was the second time she'd been over at Junketsu's home, and now that she could walk, she looked forward to exploring, and claiming territory. Speaking of walking... The little girl looked up to where Junketsu was being held and decided that she'd start to teach the other baby today.
"Eye, Junkeeee."
She pronounced the 'k' for the first time, and glanced up at her mother, proud of herself. She'd been working really hard at speaking since her last visit with Mignon, her apparent role model. Not that Indu was pleased about that.
"Thank you, PJ. Can I stick around for a little bit, make sure she'd comfortable here?"
Indu had brought some of her daughter's things in a bag and shrugged.

"Oi, I know what you mean, Junketsu was in an absolutly horrid mood all day today. Damn teeth coming in." PJ paced Junketsu down on the floor, and turned to walk back into the house. "Sure, you can come in for a bit if you like."
Junketsu crawled iver to Jani a big tooth-less smile spreading across her face, she had lots of fun things to do while Jani was over tonight. "ani in!" She was motioning Jani to come into the house. "in ani in."

"Oh? Jani's came in rather quickly, they're small, but there enough for a normal looking grin."
Sjajan tugged on one of the straps on her overalls until it came undone, she hated wearing both on her shoulders at once. She gently hugged the smaller girl, she was always cautious with Junketsu, and rough with everyone else, to Indu's chagrin.
"'Kay."
Indu collapsed on PJ's couch and patted the place next to her with a smile.
"So, what's new in the life of PJ? And Junketsu? Go anywhere, see anything?"

"I hate this, she's in so much pain, and the cries are totally defining. Next time perhaps they can sleep at your house." PJ walked over and sat on the couch next to Indu. "No, nothing new at all... Oh we did recently go to the zoo, that was loads of fun. I've never been to one!"
Junketsu took Jani's hand and sort of pulled her towards her bedroom, she had all sorts of fun things to show off, from toys to things she found around the house and in the yard..

"I've got some medicine you can give her for the pain, if you want it. Jani got her hand burnt by her brother again a bit ago, and she couldn't feel a thing after I gave it to her."
Indu nodded toward the bag at her feet.
"It's in there, just ask Jani to get you her medicine."
Sjajan eagerly followed her crawling friend and stared at the room. Jani's room was relatively small, and empty.

"Oh wonderful! I was unable to find anything that would help her. And I tried everything I could think of! But it seems the two are off playing now. I'll get it later then."
Junketsu crawled into her room, and began to point out some of her favorite things. In one corner was a pink crib, a dresser with a vanity mirror of sorts on it. She had a pile of large stuffed toys, and she pointed out the cow previously given to her by Jani and Indu. "ook!" She then quickly crawled over to her bed, and from under it pulled out a small pink box. Her name "Junketsu" written out with small diamonds. She opened it and showed Jani the feather from Akilah, and the claw necklace from Jani.

"Yes, well... I have a friend who deals in medicines, among other things."
Indu let her eyes close and she relaxed back on the sofa, it was nice to know that she'd have the house to herself tonight. All the other kids were at friends too and Indu might actually get some work done.
Jani turned pink with pleasure as she saw the necklace then blinked curiously at the feather. She touched it gently with raised brows.
"Bir-ee?"

"Well, its always nice to have people who can help." however PJ now look clearly confused, he wanted to ask, however he did not want to seem nosey. "Well...what do you mean among other things?"
Junketsu smiled and nodded "Kii Lahh!" The feather was indeed from a bird, but a Sin'Aeis bird child.

"Hm? Oh, just this and that. He ships me books too... Owes me some favors."
Indu smiled, wondering what his response would be if she told him that the man she was speaking of, Sergei, was actually a minor drug lord who absolutely adored Sjajan. He didn't bring his buisness around Indu's home, but he owed the girl for saving his hide.
Jani looked at Junketsu, confused. She'd never met Akilah before.
"Keee-Lah?"
