Nice try, but this is...

"Joe!" Abidemi says out of nowhere. Lex blinks several times. "Pardon me?" The shifting maw, known as Joe, floats over and nuzzles his muzzle against Abidemi's side. "This is Joe. One of my precious grandchildren. He's been a close friend of Amaziah since his arrival." Lexi picks up Amaziah and walks over to them. "Why didn't you tell me his name, Amaziah?" Amaziah leans gently against his mom. A content and slightly exhausted smile upon his face. "Names are just a reference point for someone or something. I just didn't think it was important at the time, mommy."

Lex and Lexi glance at their son with a knowing smile. "Looks like someone is getting tired." Lexi holds Amaziah to her breast and kisses the top of his head. "I'm not slee..." He mumbles. And with that, he is out like a light. Lex turns his attention to Joe, whose eye is focused on him but some of the eyes within are looking at Abidemi. He reaches out a hand to brush the side of Joe's muzzle. "It's nice to meet you, Joe. Please continue to be a good friend to our son." Joe nuzzles Lex's hand and licks his cheek with his oddly thin tongue.

The tongue's texture is truly odd due to minor shifts its size, shape, and consistency. Making for an intriguing yet truly bizarre experience. The only thing that was cohesive about the experience at all was that it felt slick. Yet there wasn't any saliva left behind afterward. Lex blinks several times and touches his licked cheek. "This'll take some getting used to." Lexi and Abidemi chuckle. A little smirk now present upon Abidemi's shifting prismatic scaly lips. "I'll show you to Amaziah's residence before giving you a tour of the place."

Lex and Lexi look at one another than at Amaziah who is still sleeping against Lexi's bosom. Joe lets out a sound that is experienced rather than heard. Like an ethereal dream mixing in with reality. A wave like intoxication flowing over them before dissipating just as quickly. Joe grins real big, showing off the first row of pearly whites. His expression practically begging to be called a good boy for what he just did. Abidemi glances back. "Joe, you can sing later. Our guests should get their bearings before dipping their toes in the illustrious eldritch pool."

Joe softly whines but bobs in a way that is akin to a nod, but can one truly nod without a neck? Lex and Lexi follow after Abidemi and Joe. A mix of futuristic, current, and past environments are present in the distance. Some appear to be from other worlds like you'd find from a manga or novel housing massive trees with homes formed within the trunks and along their branches but next to them were modern roads that lead to pillars that ascend into the skies. Likely home to apartments and structures like you'd find in Tomorrowland and the Jetsons.

It is clear that the longer they look around to find any sense of normalcy and balance the more vast that chasm becomes. This place is more wondrous and complex than they thought possible. A kaleidoscope of scenes, worlds, perspectives, times, environments, and everything else in between. It almost felt like a creator took all their ideas and dumped them into one place to see what would happen. A raw chaotic place to see what may or may not survive or even possibly, oddly enough, harmonize in a beautifully twisted way instead.

The sights and sounds were almost poetic. Alas, the situation is also giving them both a headache. If it wasn't for Abidemi and Amaziah, it might take them a full day to truly get their bearings. Let alone make any progress. Who on Ear... Scratch that. What in devil's name would come up with this perverse, albeit interesting, place? After several minutes of walking, Abidemi stops in front of two stumps that are on either side of an archway. Nothing appeared to be within the archway, but they could feel something unusual about it nonetheless.

He gently caresses Joe's muzzle. "Go ahead and show them inside. I have other matters to attend to." Lex lifts a hand. "You never di..." Though he was going to ask about the previous question he asked, but Abidemi's form dematerialized right before his eyes. "You never planned to answer me, huh?" He lets out a huff. Lexi's hand gently pats his right shoulder blade. "We'll probably find some semblance of an answer as we practice our divinity and play with our son." She rubs his back to comfort them both, but it is clearly affecting him more than her.

That concept is still fresh, almost foreign to them. They have been split for some time, yet they knew within that moment they had grown slightly further apart. Not spiritually or experience wise, but the way things hit them. They look at one another. Thinking that perhaps it has something to do with their minds and bodies truly settling in this relatively new situation. The difference in hormones were really changing how the situation was affecting them. Maybe this is something similar to what identical twins experience over their lifetimes?

Neither of them knew, but this is definitely another clear step forward. And they have a year to get used to it, their divinity, and spend time with their son. Joe wrinkles his nose, shifting into a dragon's face before letting out a puff of smoke in the shape of a question mark. Lex and Lexi blink upon seeing it and can't help but laugh. Joe's head tilts to the side. Lex smiles warmly at Joe. "Sorry. We're not laughing at you or at what you did. We were just so deep in thought that this simple act made us realize how silly we were being."

He reaches out a hand to touch the end of Joe's muzzle between the nostrils just above the upper lip. "We haven't seen much of you yet, but we're glad to know that you are our son's friend." Lexi nods slightly. "Now, how about that tour?" Joe lets out a soft puff of air before glancing at the archway. What type of home will they find inside? Comfortable, lavish, simple, or something akin to M.C. Escher's relativity?
