Des followed her gaze to the seal skin around Violet's shoulders. Violet looked up for a moment, before taking the skin off. "It's too warm in here for this for me..." She said, looking to Dylindra. "Do you want it back?"

Dylindra blinked a few times. The initial answer to this would have been yes, obviously. It was known, and true, that the holder of a selkie's skin could hold complete command of said selkie it came from. But...from what she had seen so far she had no reason to worry. Shaking her head, she smiled at Violet. "No no. I'm fine. Besides, my skin in magical. Keep it wrapped around where you have frostbite and it should be gone within the hour."

Violet nodded, wrapping the skin back around her shoulders, and hugging it to her tightly as she rested her head on Des' shoulder once more. Des smiled, stroking Violet's head.
Some of the smaller kids began to whine and whimper as the older kids got bored, like Gush, and walked away simply to go do something. Josie was already gone, upstairs, probably painting. Jill was... well... off somewhere. It was a storm. Great way to scare the shit out of poeple before killing them, right?

Dylindra glanced over at the kids, head tipping to one side. "Big family you have here..."

Des looked down at the floor sighing. "Yeah... a lot of love comes from my heart to men that just want my body. Sometimes I think I should use my telepathy more than I should. Other than that, most of them are from my ex fiance, my husband, and my husband's best friend." Des said, shrugging. "I love them all equally, just wish that they'd love me back like this one." Des said, indicating the now sleeping Violet.

Dylindra smiled, head tipping to other way as she looked at Violet. "I wish I had a family. Or, sibligns rather. I do technically have a family; my grandmama. But it's only me and her, in a stuffy hallmark house up in the middle of nowhere so it kind get's boring after a while if ya know what I mean."

Des let out a chuckle, nodding. "Yeah. I get what you mean. When it was only me and Gush, I bet he felt the same way. He thinks I'm to old for everything but hey, that's just him. He'll probably be just as old as me one day."

"Well, of course. Everyone grows old eventually." A small smile crept across her face. "Just be glad you haven't wrinkled up like my grandmother. Or gotten that huge. Even in human skin, she looks like a seal!" Dylindra sudden gave a little jump, leaning foreward slightly as if expecting to be hit. After a short pause, she looked up at Des with a reddened face. "Sorry....reflex."

Des blinked, tilting her head. "Dylindra... are you abused in your home?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

Dylindra paused, then began laughing. Almost hysterically so. "Oh, goodness no. Not by my grandmother. She'd never harm a fly, let alone me." She paused, scratching the back of her head as she glanced off to the side. "Why would you say that?'

"You flinched in such a way that I thought it would have been possible." Des said, seeming a bit confused for a moment, then shrugging. "Why did you flinch so dramatically anyway?"

Dylindra bit at her bottom lip a momment. "Uh...just a really weird reflex," she replied, smiling innocently.

Des didn't believe this for one second. Sure, she believe it was a reflex; but a reflex for something that Dylindra expected to happen. "Sure... but why in the world would I hit you? You helped my youngest child. And why would anyone hit you?"

Dylindra shook her head quickly. "Oh, no! I didn't expect you to hit me it's just...well...whenever I insult someone, even if their not around...people tend to whack me upside the head." She paused, a slight frown crossing her face. "The kids in school have always done it to me." She then shrugged, in a sort of noncaring way. "Oh well, you know how it goes. Everyone picks on the little orphan kid."

Des blinked a moment, and laughed. "Oh! That's the case, huh? Stick up for yourself girl and they'll leave you alone. I lost my parents when I was young, and my life turned around so that no one messed with me." Des said, nodding. "Though.. my story is a bit longer than yours."

"Most likely." Dylindra gave a small smile, waving a hand dismissidly. "Nah, I'm fine. I can stand up for myself. Just took me a couple of years to snap, then I beat their asses into the pavement. And...got myself expelled...from three schools. But, it was worth it."

"There you go." Des smiled, nodding. "Now, are you hungry? What do you eat?" Des asked, turning toward the stairs leading to the kitchen.

"Fish, Penguin, Beached Orca..." She paused a momment, blinking. "Uh....food I highly doubt you'd have."

Des smirked. "Never doubt, Dylindra. Never doubt." Des said, climbing up the steps. "Please, will you come with me?" She asked, motioning for Dylindra to follow with the free arm.

Dylindra followed her up the stairs, looking around curiously as she did so. "Very nice house..."
