Tea for Two {tags K'lian}

[Megami]

The day was just so nice... So Nari had appeared from out of the lower caverns. She'd left for the passageways about two or three months ago, telling K'lian she'd be fine. Finally she was back, with not one, but two children balanced on her hips. One was a girl, who had a hat on her head of already thick black hair. The other was a boy, who's brown hair was curly and wispy.
"Isn't it just so nice?" Nari asked the pair as they squabbled over a toy. Depth was eating daintily a little way away.

[Nai-ru]

"They're going to get me," K'lian said, leaning away. THEY WERE SCARY! Keep them awaaaayyyyy....
"Did you... uh... name them... or something?" He was so freaked out by this it wasn't even funny.

[Megami]

"Well, no, K'lian. I was waiting for you to do that. It's customary to have both of the parents agree on a name, you know." She absently took the toy away from the boy and gave it to the girl, who looked over at the boy with a smug look and began to pull on the toy so that it would brake.

[Nai-ru]

((Break.))

K'lian blinked. "Do you have... any... ideas?" K'lian didn't. "The boy's name should start with a K, and the girl's with an N... but... uh... Uh?" Completely clueless.

[Megami]

((Break?))

"Oh, well.... what about Korain for the boy," She smiled down at his curly head, "And Naluli for the girl?" The girl hit the boy over the head with the toy.

[Nai-ru]

((You typed 'brake.'))

"Sure!" K'lian said, relieved not to have to think anything up. Especially since these... things would be stuck with their names until they died.
"Okay, let's hand 'em over. We can't get attached, remember."

[Megami]

((Oh. ><))

"Oh, but aren't they cute?" Nari shoved the girl into K'lian's hands.
"They should at least meet you before we hand them over."

[Nai-ru]

K'lian stared in horror down at the newly-named Naluli and tried to hand her back. "Yes," he said, "they are cute, but they're going to be fostered. They have to be." It was the rules.

[Megami]

"Oh, I know. We should go give them over now, but you can cary Naluli. She likes you." Yes, Naluli showed her effection by attempting to eat her father's head.

[Nai-ru]

K'lian watched in bewilderment as his hand was seized, apparently because Naluli couldn't reach his face, and chewed on. Fortunately, the girl had no teeth as of yet.
K'lian could see that Naluli and Teydrin were going to get along famously.
He didn't know about Korain, but... uh... He was scared to look.

[Megami]

"Come on," Nari said, getting to her feet and holding out her hand to K'lian. Aya attacked her head at this point, and curled around her neck.
"Korain is a good name, don't you think?"

[Nai-ru]

K'lian stared at the hand.
"What's that for?" he asked, wondering why she was holding out her hand after getting to her feet. "...Yeah, it's a good name."

[Megami]

"Are you coming or not?" Nari asked, still holding out her hand. She had no clue if he knew the way, so she'd lead him.

[Nai-ru]

"Oh." He still didn't get the hand. "Yes?" Then Naluli hiccupped. At this, he stared at the baby, in horrified confusion. WHY WAS IT MAKING NOISES?!
"What's it doing?!"
K'lian was terrified of a baby. Nice, K'lian.

[Megami]

"It was just a hicup, silly," Nari told K'lian, giving up on the hand, and proceeding to walk away.
"Baby's do that."
