[During this lovely Saturday afternoon, the Durrving Family can be found busying themselves in the garden. Nestled within the green leaves and beautiful flowers are the giggles and hiccups of an eight month old baby boy.

The child has strangely suspect auburn hair and clear blue eyes, but he looks a lot like his 'father' physically. Meanwhile, Lloyd wants to make this the best Saturday ever. He hands the baby off to his... domestic partner and works on his biggest project yet. It doesn't look like much: two fishing pole-like wands, a bit of rope, and a giant bucket... but Lloyd believes this plan is sure to please.]

[Colette takes the little boy and sets him on the ground. It takes him a moment, but his curiosity takes hold and he tries to stumble up to his feet. Colette giggles and holds her hands out so that he has something to grab onto, and walks the baby in circles]

Don't worry, Leif! Lloyd will be done in a minute, and I'm sure it'll be really amazing!

[Of course, being Colette, she says that with complete sincerity. She glances over at Lloyd to see how his project is going]

[Lloyd gives the substance in the bucket one more stir, and then he looks at Colette and gives her a thumbs up.]

All right! Get ready!

[He plants his feet firmly behind the bucket and grabs hold of the two wands-- not unlike swords in his hands-- and raises them high into the air. Within a few seconds, a gigantic rainbow bubble floats toward the observers.]

[Ecstatic, Leif giggles and claps his hands. He tries to hurry towards towards the bubble, but Colette giggles and walks him towards the magnificent creation. She also looks pretty impressed with such an awesome bubble]

Wow, Lloyd, it's so beautiful! [hehe, she giggles, and picks up Leif so he can see it closer] Leif thinks so too!

[Lloyd blushes and hopes it isn't too obvious, but he's grinning regardless.] Careful! It might pop on you!

[ooc: FEEL FREE TO JOIN IN ON BUBBLE FUN. HAVE A GIGANTIC BUBBLE POP ON YOUR FACE. Also, this is backdated to Saturday at noon due to our horrible schedules.]

[selfless]

Oh! Yes, it'll pop... [asdghasdgkh now she's suddenly looking back and forth between Leif, Lloyd, and GIANT BUBBLE]

S-Should I not hold him so close?

[gentleidealist]

It won't hurt him, but he might get wet. [He watches the baby reach out toward the bubble.]

[selfless]

[weeeeeell, if Lloyd says it's okay. She looks less nervous and looks back towards the bubble. Leif is just gonna reach forward there aaaaaaaaaand

pop!

how dramatic. Anyway, leif sputters and seems generally 'asdghasdghasgd' towards the sudden soapy water in his face. askhgasdg feeling bad, Colette tucks her hand into her sleeve and starts wiping his face]

Shhh, it's okay! It's just water. [and she looks back up at Lloyd *^*] It even looked interesting when it popped! But I guess that makes sense, since it was so big.

[ofhope]

[ Yeah what's up, one of those gigantic bubbles totally popped in some other little boy's face, who had been inching closer to the family to see what was going on. A blonde haired, blue eyed little three-year-old... Who makes a face and coughs in surprise.

Aaand suddenly Joshua is standing behind him, horns visible due to the speed used. He'd been...well, nowhere in sight, but close enough for his ears to pick up that cough. But it's just— Oh nothing serious.

Oh it's Colette. Oh it's... Oh. B| He recognizes Lloyd's voice. ]

You three look like you're having fun.

[ P.S. - The toddler is totally trying to chase a bubble. He may or may not run right into a small tree and just about knock the thing over. ]

[selfless]

[oooh Colette sees the new little boy for a moment, and just as she's about to say something the bubble pops, Joshua appears, oh my!]

Joshua! Hello. [awww, she glances back between his son and him again] Is that your son? He looks just like you.

[ofhope]

[ He'll go ahead and sit down next to Colette, because hello he assumes he's invited to wherever Colette is??? And he watches his kid nearly mow down a cherry tree in an attempt to catch a bubble. ]

Well, it's the boy the castle used my blood to make, at any rate. And Lucrezia Borgia's. His name is Abel.

[ Looking at Colette, super pleased with his choice of names okay. And then he'll look at the baby, the horns disappearing from vision. Ignoring Lloyd because he was a douchemeister the last time Joshua tried talking with him. ]

Yours is young... Leif? [ Sorry he cheated. Okay no he's not sorry. ] May I hold him?

[gentleidealist]

[The little kid is cute, if not a bit superpowered, but that's nothing to blink at in this place. What's more important is the guy who shows up afterward. Lloyd knows immediately that he's bad news. He can almost /feel/ it-- and he'll realize later that it was his mother helping him in her usual, subtle way. But more telling are the horns.

Lloyd isn't exactly unarmed, but he's not about to draw his swords on a stranger. So instead he puts the wands down-- slowly, no big movements-- and casually strolls closer to Colette and Leif.]

Actually, we were just about to leave. [Sort of a neutral tone. Lloyd just can't like this guy no matter how hard he tries for Colette's sake.]

/LATE FOREVER...

[ofhope]

[ Whatever dude he's already manhandling your baby! Okay he's gently propping him up, while little Abel tries to show that eating worms is totally safe. Yuck.

Joshua looks up at Lloyd with a raised eyebrow, then back to Colette, smile still on his face, wanting to know if she feels the urge to leave as well. ]

Is that so? Too bad. I wanted Abel to get to know his Auntie Colette.

[wilder]

[Zelos, being the cool uncle, is standing off to the side against the tree, arms crossed as he watches this display with an amused look. ]

Okay. That's impressive.

[selfless]

[:D :D :D :D :D]

Lloyd thought of it! I didn't know there could be bubbles that big! [♥ ♥ , they're so gross adghasgh]

[wilder]

[It's like he's watching a scene of ten years from now man]

Eheheh, neither did I. Good thinking on Lloyd's part!

[gentleidealist]

[He sees Zelos lurking and grins, offering the two bubble wands. He'll have to walk over to get them, but hey.]

Wanna give it a try?

[wilder]

[He snorts and considers for a second, before shrugging and lazily pulling himself from the tree to approach]

Suuure, how hard could it be?

[foolreversed]

[Giant rainbow bubbles? GIANT RAINBOW BUBBLES!?

Yeah there is now an excited 5 year old, who after a very dramatic gasp is running over to check these things of wonder out.

She definitely has a big resemblance to someone. But... where is her father...?

Well, it's thankfully not too long that said dad actually shows up, panting]

M-Mayoko-chan!

[selfless]

Oh! H-Hello... [baby! Colette looks away from the bubble for a moment down at this little girl. ah, and then when she hears that familiar voice approaching, she turns around and transfers Leif so that he's in the crook of her left arm so she can waaaave]

Hello, Adachi!

[foolreversed]

[OH THANK GOD THAT LITTLE RASCAL DIDN'T GET SO FAR NOW TO MAKE SURE NO PEDO TOUCHES HER-- oh hey it is the very opposite of a bad person]

O-Oh! [coming closer, but a lot slower now that Mayoko is back in eyeshit] H-Hi Colette.

[gentleidealist]

[KID ON THE LOOSE. Lloyd entertains the little girl by making a bunch of smaller wavy bubbles to keep the big one company.]

There you go.

[Lloyd stop encouraging children to do bad things-- oh hey there's the dad.]

Hey!

[foolreversed]

[Mayoko's the epitome of "O A O" face right now, seriously. She's reaching up and trying to catch some, although she makes sure to remember her manners first]

"Thank you!"

[well at least she's occupied now and Adachi's got his breath back. IS THIS COLETTE'S BABY DADDY? o`_o]

H-Hello...

[inafadingcrown]

[Oh my gosh! You suddenly have a three year old half-elven child moving toward you at a breakneck speed.

And his mother is not far behind, running after him. Galadriel does manage to catch him before he's able to do any damage to the bubble.]

Finrod! [A pause while she catches her breath and stops laughing.] Forgive the interruption.

[Finrod, meanwhile, is just staring at the bubble in absolute fascination.]

[selfless]

[oh my! what a fast kid! Colette starts a bit and looks curiously at this new cutie pie... and then looks up when she sees Galadriel. she giggles and shakes her head]

It's okay! I guess a lot of kids like bubbles.

[inafadingcrown]

So it seems.

[She'll give a little nod to each of the young parents in turn.] Colette. Lloyd. It has been far too long since I have spoken with either of you.

[gentleidealist]

[WHOA WHOA WHOA ELFBOY SCOOTING FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIIIIIGHT. Lloyd sets the wands down in the bucket and goes to meet the extended audience.]

Hey, long time no see. You got one too?

[Lloyd, it's a kid, not a Christmas gift.]

[midget]

[ There may be a familiar little blond girl approaching. ]

What the-?

[ She looks a little amazed, but she quickly wipes that look from her face. Because, you know, she's evil and stuff.

Formerly evil? Whatever. She's not a kid okay giant soap bubbles aren't amusing. ]

[selfless]

Oh, Eva! [you bet Colette is going to be waaaaaving when she sees you approaching]

Hello!

[gentleidealist]

[It's impressive ok. Let your inner child run free!

Lloyd waves, always friendly.]

Hey there!
