Standing outside the doors to the breeding center was... interesting.
Sevyrn had never been there before, but it wasn't the first time that the urge had struck her fancy. Ages had past since the last time that she had a baby in the house, back when she was rearing Kika from her foaldom, and this time the urge struck and she felt the need to finally give breeding a chance. It was easy enough to try out - she had a group of grown Orbarus, and she knew that they were some of the only species from the labs that could breed naturally.
So... naturally, this time she gave the idea little thought, as the desire to bring new life in to her kennels and make more of her husbandry skills was something that she had lived with for ages now. It took a while to pick which two she wanted to take with her, but she ended up settling on two of her more favourite Orbs.
Cyprus, with her body of pure white, was perched on Sevyrn's shoulder as the girl opened the door to the breeding center. The man of the moment, an older orbaru of the purple and green variety, waddled by her feet.

As soon as Tanner was in, Sevyrn closed the door behind them and then grabbed Cyprus off her shoulder. As soon as the orbarus feet touched the ground she jumped back to Sevyrn, pawing at the leg of her jeans in an attempt to get back up. Sev couldn't explain it but something about that girl made her want to be up high. Sev couldn't blame her... if she was so tiny she'd want to spend her life on someone's shoulder, too.
Instead of picking her back up, though, she let out a laugh and continued to walk forward, and Cyprus found herself chasing behind the human girl, Tanner following behind. The male found himself interested in everything except what was supposed to be going on, and when Sevyrn noticed that she left out a sigh. Maybe she would have to carry one, at least until they were in one of the rooms and Tanner wasn't going to find himself in trouble.
"C'mere dude," she said as she knelt down, and the sudden motion in his peripheral caught the orbaru's attention. He cocked his head at her and let out a soft noise as he found a plant, and he got on his toes so he could look in to it.

"That's not our plan today, Tan," Sevyrn chastised as she clambered back to her feet and walked over to the potted plant that her boy had found and Cyprus trailed behind, never wanting to be too far from her. "Come on," she said as she picked him up and held him in one arm with her hand under his bum like a baby.
"Today you get to be a daddy," she said, though she knew that the playful creature in her arms would have no idea what she was referencing. She was unable to straighten back up without Cyprus crawling on to her, and before she knew it she had an orbaru in both hands. Cyprus leaned towards the boy curiously, letting out a little purr as he reached forwards and bopped her forehead.
Luckily the doors in to the breeding rooms opened inwards because there was no way she was going to be able to open a pull door with her arms full like this. Tanner was struggling, upset that he wasn't allowed to run free any more, and even the attention of the girl didn't change that. Curious and curiouser - that would be how she described this pair of orbaru.

Sevyrn put Tanner down on a couch and he was off - as soon as he could he was exploring every corner of the room, while Cyprus cuddled up on Sevyrn's lap as the brunette woman leaned back against the couch. Given that it was her first time in one of these rooms, she didn't know what she had expected - it met expectations, though. Shrugging her bag off of her shoulders she put it down beside her, pulling out some toys and blankets and treats - little things that she knew these guys liked. The happier they were, the better the breeding, right? When she pulled out one of Cyprus's favourite stuffed toys she held it up close to the albino's face and turned it side to side, eleciting a happy squeal from her as she reached out to grab it.
Sevyrn laughed as she handed it over and the orbaru began to play, dropping it on Sevyrn's lap and picking it up before standing up and raising the toy close to her human's face.
"For me?" Sevyrn asked with a laugh as she gingerly took to the toy and held it to her chest. "Why thank you." By now Tanner had finished his investigation of the room and had waddled back to where the girl and his to-be mate were. He plopped on to the couch beside them and reached out for the toy.

When Sevyrn handed the blue orbaru stuffie over to Tanner, Cyprus had a fit. That was her toy and not his, and an attempt to take the stuffed plush back resulted in the two chasing each other around the room. Tanner's tail lit in joy as he found amusement in the girl's actions, and eventually he bumbled forwards over his own feet. He fell over the plush, which caught his tumble, but before he knew it he had rolled until he was on to his back, giving Cyprus plenty of opportunity to grasp the top from his flailing paws and dash to the back of the room, where she let out a purr as she played.
Tanner gave Sevyrn a look that said "what the hell" in no unclear words and, after letting out a laugh, she tossed her boy a heart shaped plush toy and then his favourite blanket. "You knew that was hers dude, I'm not sure what part of that surprised you. Girls don't like when you take their things, you know. That's just a myth. If you want her attention you should give her something, bud."
He cocked his head and then shook it before tossing the heart shaped plush across the room and then fetching it himself. So far Sevyrn wasn't quite sure if this breeding would work out...

Why, oh, why was that boy so interested in a toy and not the pretty lady in front of him?
It was just her luck that her choice in potential mates would end up like this but it was a little saddening - Sevyrn had really high hopes about how this was going to go when she first plucked the Orbarus out of her kennel and walked them on down here. She knew that she shouldn't give up just yet, though. The pair weren't mates, this would obviously be both of their first babies given that Sevyrn herself had never even been here, and while they were great at being affectionate with each other back at home, right now they were in a rather strange environment. It couldn't be the most comfortable thing in the world to have to deal with.
"Why don't you go play with Cyprus?" Sevyrn encouraged the striped male, who seemed to still be more interested in... playing fetch with himself. She was just about ready to walk over there, pluck that plushie out of his hands and walk him over to Cyprus when Tanner finally had the genius idea to go over to her (with the toy, of course) himself.

It seemed like there was finally a step in the right direction. Tanner looked beyond happy as he made friendly with Cyprus, and the fact that things were now going in the right direction had Sevyrn feeling almost giddy inside. The young woman was really getting her hopes up that she would be able to take some new babies home, and these two were going to help her fulfill that dream. She wondered what kind of parents they might be to the new young, what the would end up looking like - what they would end up being like. The sweet, friendly, loving personalities of orbarus was always a sweet spot for the animal lover, and though dad was pretty friendly...
Yeah, Cyprus was way too friendly with Sevyrn. So much so that as soon as her kennel buddy had made his way over to her, the slim-bodied albino bopped his nose with hers and then ran right over to the human who had wanted her to do exactly the opposite. "No, no, no - go play with Tanner, Cyp." The albino grabbed out for the girl with her little arms as Sevyrn picked her up with a hand under each armpit and brought her back to where the venom orbaru was standing with his head cocked to the side.

That whiny little boop that came out of Cyprus's mouth when Sevyrn placed her down just made the woman shake her head. She didn't mind the orbaru being cuddly little shits with her - she really didn't - but now just wasn't the time or the place for it. It's not like she could have really prepared the pair for their first breeding, though. Today all the business is on your buddy - act like I'm not even there. Yeah, no. Even if they could have understood it, they wouldn't have listened. Especially given the orb that Sevyrn had chosen to be today's new mother.
She didn't even have enough time to make it back to where she had been sitting before Cyprus was already once again hot on her trail. Maybe it was time to just stick it out for a bit - the little lady was too distracted for the task at hand, and maybe some cuddles would give her a chance to relax a bit.
"Alright, alright," Sevyrn sighed as she opened her arms for the orbaru to leap in to. Cyprus, of course, obliged without hesitation. Once the albino was situated and comfortable, Sevyn beckoned Tanner over with the curve of a couple fingers. She may as well have a cuddle-up with both of them.

Tanner had no objection to coming for a cuddle, either. That didn't mean that he put down the plushie that he had been carrying around, though - no, he waddled in to Sevyrn's lap and awkwardly manipulated the heart-shaped toy up there with him until it rested between him and Cyprus. Sevyrn was actually surprised that instead of trying to take the toy of out the male's hands, she actually ended up leaning on to it and resting her chin on the fabric. Her little paws moved up the edge of it to rest on top, one on each side of her face, and stared at her buddy rather contently.
It seemed that both of the pair was rather happy with this set-up. Each had one of Sev's arms to themself, and in the middle they rested almost face to face. As they gently pawed towards each other - neither able to actually reach - and chattered between themselves Sevyrn was almost in awe. There was no denying that she loved all of the creatures that she called their own - and that her equillion always held the dearest part of her heart - but these two right then... When they were actually interacting with each other instead of messing around, she knew that it was a good call to bring them here.

Cyprus was going to make such a good mama, that much Sevyrn was sure about. Even though it had been such a long time since they'd had baby and juvenile orbaru back at home, Cyprus had always been so good with them back then. Tanner... He was friendly, he wasn't mean to them or anything, but he wasn't nearly as affectionate with the kidlets. Maybe it would be different when the kidlets were his own or maybe not, Sevyrn didn't know quite what to expect from him. Orbarus were social animals, though. Even if daddy didn't bond with his new children as much as their mom did, he and all of the others would surely be great with the new additions to the group.
Part of her knew that she was getting ahead of herself, and that she shouldn't be sure that there would be new babies until after the breeding was done with. Sevyrn knew what to look for - the bright flash of light from the male's tail bulb that would signify that the pair had mated with each other. Were they getting even close to the point where that would happen yet, though? Really, she had no way of knowing.

For quite some time (less time than it seemed to Sevyrn, who was getting anxious to head back home) all the trio did was cuddle up for a bit. It was a sweet bonding moment between her and two of her orbarus, and also a good chance for the two to get friendly with each other one-on-one style. The longer that they spent at the breeding center, the more interested in each other Tanner and Cyprus seemed to be. Who knew - if they got along well enough and brought nice enough babies in to the world then perhaps she would be able to bring them back another time.
Sevyrn started to get sore, though. Orbarus might not be heavy creatures, but consistent weight against your body for an extended period of time just had a way of wearing peoples' muscles out. "Alright.. get up. Time to go play - or maybe snack time. How do you guys feel about a snack? It sounds great to me." Anything that gave the girl the chance to stretch her limbs sounded like perfection right about now, though.
If only the orbaru felt the same way... Cyprus had at least looked up at Sev as she spoke, but Tanner didn't seem to care at all.

Alright - they were moving by force, easy enough. Cyprus was a little smaller than the boy beside her so it was easier to grab Tanner first because between the two of them the little lady was less likely to get squished. Well... Cyprus got gently squished anyways and boy did that girl have a mouth on her. She was rather indignant about being stuck between Sevyrn's chest and her arm but it would only take a couple seconds to get Tanner down on to the ground and quite frankly they had chosen this life by ignoring her anyways.
"You're just fine, Cy," Sevyrn assured once Tanner was out of the way, giving the albino orbaru a pat and a kiss on top of her head. The purple and green orbaru seemed to agree with Cyprus that this was a really big problem however. He chattered at the human who still held his lady, grabbed at Sevyrn's pants - she swore that she could even see his little cheeks poofed up. It was quite a sight and it took everything Sevyrn had not to laugh about it - after all, to Tanner this was an issue of the most serious variety. What a little egg.

"Okay, okay - take your lady back. I'm glad that you two are getting along."
Tanner's indignance didn't end quickly, and when the male showed no signs of calming down there was little that Sevyrn could do other than kindly return the albino orbaru to the ground where she was obviously wanted. He'd heard her little squeal and started to work over her in worry, nose to nose, to belly, to arms. Cy's cheery little boops said that she knew that she was just fine - it was only a matter of convincing the boy with her. It was actually rather adorable to witness, especially after Tanner had been so interested in a silly toy rather than Cyprus not long ago.
It was snack time, though. Sevyrn was starting to get pretty hungry (should have eaten before she left, but hindsight was 20/20) and she'd packed her backpack planning to be gone long enough that she would end up wanting a snack. After pulling out a quick treat for herself, a banana, she trifled through her backpack until she reached the bottom. There it was - a little bag filled with chopped up veggies that she had picked from her garden earlier that day.

Oh boy. Sevyrn had known that those two were going to go nuts as soon as they saw the treats, but once again she had little orbaru paws grabbing at her leg. It wasn't even just the one of them this time... did it make her a bad person to want to just give them a little gentle kick off of them? She wouldn't dare, they were so tiny that a little bit of force would probably end up punting them across the room, but getting glomped by little creatures could get old pretty fast sometimes. She hadn't even had a chance to get the food bowl out of her bag let alone open the snack up yet... come on.
"Yeah, it's for you guys. Obviously you seem to already know that, don't you?" She elected to drop the bag of veggies in to the food bowl so that she would have a free hand, and push Tanner and then Cyprus off of her so that she could put the bowl some somewhere cozy. They were quick little things who already had their paws in the food bowl before the first chunk of carrot, slice of cucumber or piece of lettuce even awaited them.
