Drabble Chapter 1

Aeli: -is doing research on her mobile electronic device as she awaits Elys-

Reiyu: -walks in followed by Ryu and Viel in their wolf forms and sees a new face- Hello -waves as well as he walks over for a formal greeting- I'm Reiyu and this is Viel and this is Ryu. They are my guardians and I am a Cauldron-born. May I ask what's your name?

Aeli: -waves back and stands as she is approached by the trio and was surprised for a moment when Viel and Ryu took on their human forms- H-hello -goes on to brightly introduce herself in kind- I'm Aeli. It's nice to meet you Reiyu, Viel, Ryu -then goes on to ask with her continued reply- Have you been here long, in this amazing establishment? I'm still rather new, but I am thankful I happened upon this place. It's so relaxing here, it's so majestic and comfortable all at once!

Viel: Likewise, it is really great to meet you, Aeli! -waves both hands cheerfully with her own greeting-

Ryu: -gives a bright nod in agreement- We probably found The Cauldron a short while before you did.

Reiyu: Welcome, Aeli, and yes, it's great to have you here with us -adds to their conversation smilingly-

-Viel stifles a yawn and Ryu pulls her into a one arm hug that Viel leans into-

Viel: Ah my apologies, one of the things we're usually doing when we visit is napping in the garden admittedly since we do a lot of running -momentarily chuckles with embarrassment-

Ryu: I hope you don't mind if I abruptly excuse the two of us so I can help this girlfriend of mine catch some shuteye -follows Viel's words with an embarrassed grin-

Aeli: Oh no, not at all, please feel free to relax and I hope you have a restful stay. I am also inclined to come here to get research and such done comfortably and today is no exception to my usual trend. But that I've been able to meet you all today is a great chance -beams with her response-

Reiyu: We feel the same I'm sure -grins as Viel and Ryu nod happily in agreement- Okay, I shall also take some time to rest in the garden and let you continue with your work -raises his hand again in a wave-

Aeli: Thank you for your warm welcome -waves back to the three-

Viel: Thank you as well -waves in kind as the three head into the garden-

-an hour passes-

Elys: Hi, Aeli -greets her guardian as she walks into the room-

Aeli: -ends a call on her phone and approaches her charge when she sees Elys- Elys, you're so beautiful! -hugs Elys-

Elys: Thank you very much -hugs Aeli back- That call, was it to ask you to go somewhere now? -has observed this to usually be the case-

Aeli: Yes it was actually. You're observant as usual -chuckles-

Elys: U-um, I wanted to stay here with you for a little while longer today, but if you have to be somewhere then would it be okay with you if I stay and wait for you so we can head back together? -their residence is not far from here-

Aeli: Well, are you sure? If you are then I would be okay with that, you keep growing so fast -gives her charge's hand a fond pat-

Elys: Mostly it's my height that's grown fast, I don't think I've changed so much in much else -chuckles-

Aeli: Admittedly I met the other patrons that are here right now in the garden earlier and it's part of why I am not so against you wanting to try to stay here to relax without me; because I believe them to be good individuals despite having just met them. I want to ask again, though: are you sure you want to stay here while I go somewhere for about a little over an hour?

Elys: You said you believe they are good and I've been wanting to ask you sometimes before to try walking here from our home across the street and staying when you have to go somewhere from time to time. I would like to stay and wait for you today, please?

Aeli: Okay and thank you for being considerate about thinking to ask me for sometime -grins and gives her now very good friend who is like a little sister a hug that is reciprocated brightly-

Elys: Take care -waves as Aeli exits- Hm -thinks smilingly about what she shall do now while waiting and begins to look around before pausing in surprise at the sight of Reiyu and greeting him with a smile after the beat of a moment- Hello -gives a soft wave-

Reiyu: Hello -has also paused after stepping back inside from the garden and catching sight of Elys to then silently gaze at her in surprise before greeting her as well with a smile in kind-
