Kyrie watched her mother from the floor across her study. She had wandered in with her favourite doll in tow and had taken up quiet residence in the corner playing with her as her mother worked. But now she was curious about what her mother was doing. She was certain it would be something exciting. Everything her mother and father did was very interesting in her eyes. They knew so much about everything and they didn't care about her millions and millions of questions. Half-heartedly bouncing her dolly on her knee, she eventually abandoned her and crawled on her hands and knees over to her mother's feet. She was trying to be veeeeery sneaky. She wanted to catch her mother in the act of whatever it was she was doing. Slowly lifting her head, she turned it slightly so she could peer past her mother's arm.

Cosine was doing what she did best keeping tally. She was writing up the accounts of her temple, how much of everything it had taken to build it, the contents. It was good to have records she believed, the fading left them with few memories of what was and rebuilding was a complicated process.
She was well aware of her daughter crawling over to her and trying to peer at what she was doing. Of course she did not wish to spoil her daughter's game and so she continued about her business.

Kyrie watched her mother's hand make its precise marks with her quill. Slowly she rose completely to her feet and she reached up to rest her hands on the desk near her mother's arm. Pulling herself up to her tippy toes, she continued to watch her for a few moments, then turned her head to look up at her mother.
"Whatcha doing Momma?" she asked, turning her blue eye back to the page and trying to make sense of the squiggles. She knew they were letters and of course she knew her numbers, but they didn't make much sense all jumbled together, even if they really were organized in nice, neat columns.

Cosine looked down at her daughter with a smile as her curiosity got the better of her and she spoke up.
"Keeping account." Cosine smiled and put her pen down so that she could lift Kyrie onto her lap and give her a better look.
"It's not very exciting I'm afraid, just a list and numbers."

Kyrie ruffled her feathers happily as she was perched on her mother's knee. She loved snuggling up with her daddy, but her momma was much warmer and softer. She made for better nesting. Looking down at the book with the better angle, she admired her mother's work for a few moments, then turned her head back again to peer up at her.
"Why are you making a list and numbers? What are they for?"

"So I can remember." She said softly, looking down at the list. "I like to keep records of things incase people want to know. This is my temple, if something happens, if something goes missing then I will know because it is always here."

"Oh." That made sense. She had a small stockpile of trinkets and odd baubles that she kept hidden from her siblings. She was checking it constantly to make sure that everything was still there, but sometimes it was hard to remember what had been there before. Sometimes she was pleasantly surprised to rediscover an old treasure. Reaching up to toy gently with her mother's dark hair, she contemplated this for a few moments, then looked back up at her. "Can I keeping account?" she asked.

Cosine's fluffed her head wings as Kyrie played with her hair and rested her cheek on top of her soft feathered head.
"Of course you can my darling." She liked to encourage her children to do such things. "I will get you a note book and we can work on it together. I will write the words for you and you may write the numbers if you want to share it with me."

Oh, now she liked that idea. She liked it a lot. A special thing to share with her mother.
"Yes! I want to share it with you," she smiled and closed her eyes as she snuggled into her mother's warmth. After a very brief moment of silence, as that was all she really could manage, her eyes popped open again and she pulled back a little to look up at her mother for a moment. Reaching up, she gently traced her dark hand along her soft cheek, then pulled her hand away and looked down at it.
"Momma, how come I don't look like you?"

Cosine smiled and watched her daughter reach up to touch her cheek. Her question drew a smile from her lips.
"Well, because not all young gods look like their parents. Your cousin Soto is green and look nothing like his mother or his father and you take somethings from me, feathers, I am very feathery goddess." She said with a grin.

Kyrie grinned and reached up to touch her own feathery head and then lifted her arm to run her fingers over the feathers there.
"I like our feathers. I'm sad that Isi doesn't have any," she mused, then looked up at her mother's large wings. "Will I get to have big wings just like you one day?" she asked with a note of awe in her voice.

"I don't think Isi minds and ... well he might grow wings when he's older." Anything could happen as far as she was concerned, Kios, or even the reborn like her and Ankou, very different from how they began.
"I would imagine you will have big wings when you are grown. You are Crow, you will need to be able to fly I think."

Kyrie looked back at her baby wings on her arms and tried to imagine it. To have huge wings and to be able to fly... that would be -awesome-. Shifting and scrambling a bit, she moved to her knees on her mother's lap so she was facing her.
"Can you fly?" She was pretty sure she had never seen her mother fly before. It seemed like an amazing thing to be able to do.

"I can." Cosine said with a smile as Kyrie turned to face her. "I don't do it often though so I am not very good. Your daddy is better than me I imagine." She shrugged, not really bothered, she had little need to fly really. "One day I will show you, then when you have your big wings we can go flying together."

Kyrie's eyes opened wide and she bounced a bit and clapped her hands.
"Yes! We can go flying and Fin can show us all the bestest places to go and it will be awesome!" she declared excitedly. Reaching out, she slipped her arms over her shoulders and leaned in to hug her tightly, her feathered head resting against her mother's. "When do you think I can have my notebook?" she asked as her mind turned to her treasures.
