There , the two female parent sit on either side of the glass , looking down at sister Canyon . Kiki even tapped on the glass several times , and in the TV it look like she tries to bear Canyon ’s teensy hand when Austin positions it on the shabu . finally , Kiki even introduced Canyon to Pablo , who ’d been ambling around in the backdrop .
