Finding time for a day out...

[1st_mistake]

Blues and Kalinka have been meaning to check this place out for quite a while now. It was surprising how often something could keep coming up when you have a pair of twins to watch. Not to mention all the other things both parents tend to meddle in.

But they're here now, with little Mikhail and Ciel. And without any other guards or chaperones.

"'Ble?" Ciel blinks and looks at her stress worm, then looks back up again. "Nyet!"

Kalinka and Blues both chuckle at this.

"I do not think she agrees," Kalinka says.

"Not enough fur to be a tribble," adds Blues.

Mikhail is still looking out the window and babbling softly to the flying girl.

The girl is obviously hearing everything he says, because she repeats a few of the more wordlike of his sounds back to him in the classic reinforcement game.

The landlady chuckles too, but then turns to the next customer.

And Ben suddenly bounces past on all four as a piercing squeaking comes from a corner of the room. "I'm coming! No fear, you'll be free soon."

"Stupid tribble," says a tall kid in a yellow raincoat.

It only encourages Mikhail to keep up the conversation - at least until the squeaking starts. This startles him and the little boy looks scared.

Ciel's reaction is more outgoing, as usual. She makes a few loud comments, trying to be heard over the squeaking. Whether she's just making more noise or trying to cheer Ben on in rescuing the tribble is hard to say.

((And yeah, these two are going to need journals. Or a shared one))
