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.

It's morning here yet, so there's a small crowd of people who like to buy breakfast instead of cooking it and of the people who don't sleep and who decided to spend the night gabbing at the cantina. The smell of food hangs tantalizingly in the air, and an orange kitten is busy herding a pair of tribbles across the floor.

"Just drab a seat!" A brown-haired boy of two grins at them and waves to the babies, then scoops up kitten and tribbles and runs with them behind the bar, where a small woman with fierce brown eyes is holding sway over plates of eggs and meat and bowls of cereal.

She glances over at the newcomers. "Know how ya got here?"

"Okay!" He turns and zooms back toward the bar, darting between the legs of a massive furry centauresque woman with dark brown bat wings and a horn on her forehead.

"Och!" scolds a small girl in a long skirt who looks like a younger twin of the woman behind the bar. "Ben, laddie, be mar keerful."

The little boy quickly frees the fuzzy brown critter from where it's jammed itself between a chair leg and the wall. "Shhh, darling. I have you. It's okay."

His pink tribble gives an irate squeak.

"Bob! Be nice! She's scared."

((XD))

"They're beautiful," says the redhead softly. Then her green eyes meet Kalinka's. "Sorry."

Then she starts as a piercing shriek of laughter comes from the staircase behind the bar. Her husband jumps too, and rumbles a deep growl of protest at the sound.

Well, if he tugs or shifts the right bit it will go back... otherwise he'll get another shape. And a peek at pictures and such painted on previously hidden faces of the blocks.

Rachel grins. "She's a lovely big buggy thing."

Then she looks at her husband as he rumbles to himself, but since he looks and feels alright she turns back to Kalli and her family.

"Ciel," says Isha. "That's a pretty name." Then she settles down to lay next to this new little friend, purring contentedly. Ben grins and chuckles and then plunks down himself.
