Iyanden wanders in his trouser hems dragging on the floor, one hand on his scrolls his other in his back pocket. "Hey Nellie."

Iyanden smiles and drops his scrolls on his chair, turning at the sound of little hands pattering on the floor he spots the little baby. "Oh hello little fellow, come to uncle Iyan?" He squats down so the baby could crawl towards his to be looked after, but he is far away enough so the baby could go explore the vault a little.

Neliar peers down at the baby, now where did he come from? "Hello little un." he says looking over at Iyan. "Where do you think he's come from?"

Nemikassin coos cutely at all the people in the vault Iyanen is looked over with calm eyes before Nemik scoots across the floor to a chair and grabs hold standing himself up. The two 'lizzen circling around him warble their enthusiasm though the brown looks as if he might attempt to catch the little should he fall

Iyanden shrugs and walks over to a chair, watching the babe intently incase he gets into anything dangerous. "He is one of the Journeymans babies I guess."

Neliar hms but he gets up from where he's sitting and moves closer to the baby encase it falls and hurts itself. "Whats he doing here though, and why hasn't anyone noticed he's gone?" Very strange.

Nemikassin reaches up giggles of fun escaping as he snatches a piece of meatroll from a table and sticks it in his mouth sucking on it. Nono his blue gives a warble of entreaty towards his pet and the meatroll soggy and wet is offered out to him which he snatches and swallows. Nemik seemingly delighted by this chants his 'lizzens names "Nono NummyNummy Nono NummyNummy!"

Iyanden looks down at the cute little baby. "He is a cutey." He laughs as Nemik plays with his blue.

Neliar smiles at the little baby. "i guess he is kinda cute." but rather messy. Neliar isn't too comfortable with children being the youngest of his family he's not had much experience with them.

Nemikassin turns toddling across the floor now hand held out for balence but it's obvious he's done this before. Nummy his brown hovers protectively a whiffing croon when the child toddles a little far too one side. Sure he's a baby he's messy and more than likely sticky too.

Neliar holds his breath when it looks as if the baby is going to fall over. "do you think one of us should go and look for his mother?" he's at a loss of what to do.

Shanel walks in from the Female Apprentice Quarters.
Shanel
She is a slender girl of average height. Shoulder length light brown hair is held back by a single black ribbon in a vain attempt to keep it away from her eyes. Under the bright sunlight golden highlights can be seen, just as green flecks appear in her wide light blue eye. Set above an average mouth often seen with a smile is a pert nose on face still roundish with left over baby fat. She has cream colored, almost pale skin darkened by the hot Istan sun.
A long tunic of a deep purple hugs her upper body. Cream-colored trousers of a comfortable semi-shaping fit cover her legs. More often then not, this girl will not be seen with any foot coverings. On those few occasions when footwear is required she can seen wearing wherry-hide sandals.
Shanel wears the knot of a StarCraft Senior Apprentice.

Shanel walks briskly into the room. Many things on her mind and places to go with things to do. She's busy and the two boys don't get more then a wave. That is, until she nearly walks into a toddling baby. Staring for a moment, "Nemikassin? Where's Kiyna?"

Neliar sighs in relief when he sees Shanel. "You know who he belongs to?" he hopes so, then they can take him back.

Nemikassin stares up at Shanel with a grin on his baby face at the mention of his normal sitter he giggles wildly "Kna Kna Kna" is chanted this time as he toddles forward to take hold of Shanel's leg

Iyanden chuckles as Shanel comes in. "hey, we have no idea who's he is." He sits up in his chair and looks over at the baby again.

Shanel leans over to pick up the child. "Sure, he's Thala's." Looking at

Nemikassin she smiles, "Hi. You aren't supposed to be in here. Where's your mama?" Glancing over at the boys she rolls her eyes. "Oh, you guys are useless." Chuckling Nel walks over to Neliar and takes a seat near him, the baby in her lap.

Neliar smiles warmly at Nel, very grateful to her. "I've no idea what to do with babies." he admits and it's going to be a long time before he thinks of starting his own family. Feeling slightly braver now that Nel is here he grabs one grubby little finger and shakes it gently.

Nemikassin reaches out grubby hands for Shanel's hair. The two 'lizzen's seeing that he's at least safe for the moment wing towards one of the shelves and settle in for a short nap. As one of his fingers is grabbed he sniffles eyes staring at the bigger hand and then the stranger

Shanel shakes her head at Neliar, don't.....she winces when he takes the babies finger. That's not a good idea. "That's Neliar, Nemi." Nel begins to gently bounce the baby on her leg, hoping to prevent any crying. Neliar gets a smile, she knows he's trying to help.

Neliar opps as he see the babies eyes start to fill up, he hopes Nemi won't start to cry. "hello little fella." said very softly as not to scare him. He looks at Nel, "sorry."

Nemikassin cocks his head to the side at the don't from Shanel he hears that alot you see. Neliar's introduction stops his tears though and his chanting begins again "NeliNeliNeli" sure he likes to repeat things. Bouncing is fun any time even if he's supposed to be napping and it causes a huge grin showing his one or two teeth

Shanel sighs with relief as Nemi decides not to wail. There's nothing worse then an upset-high-pitched-wailing 1 turn old. Napping would be a good thing if he'll coaporate(sp?). Neliar recieves and warm smile "It's okay." Her eye's are twinkling.

Neliar finds himself staring at the baby. "they are kinda cute little things aren't they?" he's never really been this close to a baby before. Grinning as Nemi starts to bounce on Nel's knee.

Nemikassin sticks a fist in his mouth as the bouncing seems to keep him calm. Perhaps it's a bit like the ocean he does spend alot of time on a ship. Hazel eyes watch Neliar with interest though his other hand creeps towards Shanel's hair with obvious delight. He's innocent and sweet though

Looking at the baby and the chubby little hand coming to her hair, she flips it back behind her shoulders, hopefully out of reach. With one hand Nel pulls out her ribbon and hands it to Nemi. "Maybe we can get him to sleep?"

Neliar watches Nel as she releases her hair to give Nemi the ribbon. "I think that'd be a good idea." he begins to whisper. "Then we can take him back." Shanel seems so comfortable with Nemi...

Nemikassin grasps the ribbon even taking the hand from his mouth to tug at it. That is right before the ribbon and his fist are put back in his mouth and he grins up at Shanel "Pweey'

Shanel wrinkles her nose as the ribbon is slobbered on. That's not going back in her hair. She shakes her head to her hair to falls freely down her back. "Pweey?" She may know who to treat babies but she doesn't speak baby-talk. Nodding to Neliar she switches from bouncing to rocking.

Neliar has not got a clue about baby talk. What does Nemi mean by Pweey? At least he seems to like the ribbon that Shanel has given him. Now that the baby's attention is diverted he can talk to Shanel. "How are you?"

Nemikassin may be a brat but he's a little one and he does need to sleep. The rocking takes it toll but he fights valiently to keep his eyes open, little head bobbing every now and then.

Shanel keeps up the rocking. "Busy. You?" She can't think of anything else to say so she says the obvious. "Have you finished your scroll yet?" A glance at Nemi tells her how close he is to sleep. Good, then she can take him back to Thala's room.

Neliar keeps his voice low, he's also noticed the baby has finally closed his little eyes. "Yeah I've finished it, I only need to show it to Carise now. Would you like to see it?" he offers shyly.

Shanel nods eagerly. "Of course." As if she'd say no. Still rocking the baby she waits for him to fall asleep.

Nemikassin coos softly head lolling against Shanel as his eyes finally give in to sleep. Every now and then he'll jerk dreaming of something strange but you can't really tell

You hand Neliar's Constellation Scroll to Shanel.

Neliar smiles and gropes in his pockets for the scroll. "They you go, I hope you like it" He looks down at the sleeping baby, now isn't that cute.

Shanel giggles at the story. "That's so cute. I like it." She rolls it up and hands it back to him purposely brushing her hand against his. "Maybe we should take Nemi back to his mother now." She whispers softly so as not to wake him

Shanel hands you Neliar's Constellation Scroll.

Neliar nods his head. "Yes, I think the little fella is worm out."
