The room the Gate is located in is huge and completely barren; two giant, white, steel doors form the entrance on one wall, and a pair of identical doors line the other. Armed guards are positioned at each side of each door, security cameras sit in each corner.
Occasionally, the doors to the gate will slowly open, and someone will step out, revealing a long, empty-looking tunnel behind them.
Aside from that, there is little to no movement in the room; it seems the tension from the guards is enough to deaden even the liveliest places.

Lillian stands against the wall where the entrance is located, arms folded across her chest and checking her watch periodically.
They're late.
"No, don't send her over yet," she whispers into a small device that resembles a walkie-talkie. "They're not here yet."
"No, I don't know where he is. ...Yes, I know you have a schedule to keep. Don't worry about it." A pause. "No, you won't be held accountable. Yes, I'm sure."
She sighs and glances at the doors. "...Perhaps he got lost."

Lillian wouldn't be too far off. The man certainly was lost, in more ways than one. Flanked by Porcelain on both sides, he pauses to consult a scrap of paper clenched in his fist.
Are they there yet?
Does it LOOK like they're there yet? It's a warehouse!
The man sighs. The trip had only lasted half an hour, but it was far too long. Luckily it looked like they had reached the destination. Ignoring the squabbles of the children accompanying him, he pushed the door open.
"Hello? Is anyone here?"

"Mister Winchester," Lillian answers unemotionally- not even glancing up at him. "It is well past the time we agreed on. You do realize that we here have schedules to keep?"
Still not even looking at either of the three, she turns back to the walkie-talkie. "Yes. They're here. Send her through."

See! They ARE here! 3nodding
So Junyi came from a warehouse? o.o;;;
Lionel sends an annoyed glance at the Porcelain. They had made him keep a lady waiting! Even if the lady wasn't the most pleasurable one he had met, it went against his morals. "Forgive me, Miss Haladet, but I was... held up." Another glare.
But Neechan had to come too!
The only reason Nusumu is here is to annoy Sneaky's human. That's all. stare
But Des is nice! sad
And she'll be happy! Xue knows it! biggrin
Lionel sighs exhaustedly and gives a final prayer that the child he'll be meeting would be a bit... calmer. @_@

Lillian raises an eyebrow, glancing at the two Porcelain.
Ah, so THOSE are the beings that Miss Keth had been around. Interesting.
"I see," she answers, finally seeming to acknowledge his presence. "She'll be through shortly."
As if to punctuate her statement, the doors on the other wall opened slowly, and two guards solemnly walked through, followed by an odd looking, defiant little girl.
"Melete Ourania Kelahen," Lillian says quietly, gesturing to the girl, "will be under your care, Mister Winchester."
Melete glances up at Lionel, eyes ablaze with a heavily veiled, smoldering distaste.

Hrm. This girl looks interesting to-
HellothisisXueandNeechanandLionandwhoisthegirlwillshebeafriendNusumumakesgoodcookies! biggrin biggrin !
"It is a... a pleasure, Miss Kelahen." Lionel, trying his best to ignore the two with him, bows before extending a gloved hand toward the girl. She seemed calmer than the others, at least.

Melete stares at Lionel's hand for a moment, and then squats down in front of Xue and Nusumu, her head tilting to the side as she listens to him.
She wasn't aware that there would be empaths here. confused
For an instant, her face softens.

HELLO! biggrin
Nusumu winces. Kids are so noisy stressed
The gloved hand vanishes into a pocket of Lionel's old-fashioned coat. His enthusiasm isn't dampened, mostly because he had little to start with. "Ahem. Well, Miss Kelahen, you must be exhausted after your journey. If you would just follow me, I will show you the way to the house you will be housed at during your stay."
Not a bad way out, he compliments himself.

The frown returns with a vengence, and Melete once again glances up at Lionel, her eyes narrowing.
Suddenly, she hesitates, as if remembering something.
"Er..." she mumbles, glancing away. "...Thank you."
Her English seems to be rather heavily accented, especially when compared with the other Neilani roaming about the embassy.

Well done, he smirks. Well done indeed.
"In that case, Miss Kelahen, I ask that you come with me." To the older woman, he tips his hat (a black satin top hat from DS's attic). "I am grateful for your assistance and leniency, and most humbly beg your pardon. Hopefully the next time we meet will be in a case of pleasure, rather than business. We cannot engage in tedium all the time."
Xue pokes Melete in the waist.
What's the girl's name? Xue should know, if she's coming to live with him!
She's going to live with the humans, not Xue. He's just a guest there too.
But Des is Xue's human, so her house is his house, right?
... Whatever. Works for Nusumu.

"Melete," she whispers, still staring at the short little beings that argued amongst themselves.
....Maybe...
...Maybe Elgei was right. Maybe things aren't going to be so bad, after all.

Mel is coming with Xue now! And they will have fun! 3nodding
He reaches up and grabs Melete by the hand, pulling her towards the large silvery doors.
Xue had better not leave without Nusumu! scream
"Good day, ma'am."
Lionel sweeps another, far more flourished bow, and runs off after the children, ruining his self-image of perfection somewhat.
