The night grew young as Takiko settled within the kitchen, reminding herself of earlier that week when she met the other girl, Violet. A smile crossed her features at the idea, and she just looked back to the meal soon after. It all felt like it was slipping into place, her brother was home and she had a new friend to spend her time in the town with when he just got to be too much.
That and Taia seemed quite content and well behaived these past few days. Thinking nothing else on the matter, the teen finished with the soup and went to check on the chicken, readying a nice feast to end an amazing week.
Upstairs, Taia was slumbering away in her crib, the four mysterious stolen items all tucked safely underneath the pillow to hopefully never be discovered until she found her own better hiding place.

Violet was in a panic. She had spent all the time looking or researching fo her bracelet, then it clicked.
Taia.
She rushed to get her coat shouting at her brother as she rushed out the door and down the street, a piece of paper in her hand. She looked at each house quickly but the one she wanted was easy to find.
She ran up the path and knocked on the door a few times,
"Please be in, please be in, oh please!" She was pratically begging at the door, she wanted her bracelet back, it had been stolen and she wanted it back now.

Hazel gray eyes snapped in the direction of the sounds as they made way through the house. Waiting a moment to see if her brother would answer, Takiko just let out a frustrated sigh soon after.
"Thank you Inny!" She called out harshly, before setting down her food and closing the oven, "I'm coming, I'm coming!"
With that, she moved across the way and to the door, unlocking the thick bolt before opening it with a wide eyed gaze, "Violet...is something wrong?" It only took one look at the flustered girl for Takiko to know the answer.
"Please, come in."

She walked in and looked around, hoping she might see the bracelet somewhere. She turned quickly though, "My bracelet.. I think Taia has it." She didn't want to accuse the toddler but she had looked so many times to try and find it.
"I am sorry for saying she has.. I just can't find it and I know what you said about her liking things... and then.. oh I am sorry." She stopped talking and looked at her feet feeling very silly.

Closing the door behind them, Takiko just leaned against it slowly and glanced to a figure that walked through the far hall and to the kitchen. At least her brother could do something right, and helping finish the dinner worked fine. Looking back to Violet, she couldn't help the smile that crossed her face at her antics, though it soon turned into a frown.
"Why am I not surprised..." She mumbled lowly, before rolling her eyes and pulling a hand through her hair, "I love that girl to death, but she just really loves her shiny things...so I don't blame you for coming to me..." Trailing off, she glanced towards the stairs and wondered if the toddler was still asleep or no.

She nodded, "I wouldn't have minded but when thinking about your story, I just couldn't help wonder, I mean, what if?" She looked helpless and rather distraught, not quite understanding what was going on or what she was really doing about it. She had done her research, hadn't told her brother for he cared little about her.
She wanted a child so badly, she wasn't going to let a chance slip away.

Takiko forgot about Taia for just a moment, and just looked at where Violet stood. Smiling softly, she brushed a hand once more through her hair and let out a warm laugh.
"So you really do believe..." Looking down a moment, she got caught before shaking her head and moving to the stairs, "Come on, her room is right upstairs...that would be the only place for her to hide such a treasure, she doesn't have full reign anywhere else..."

Violet nodded and looked up at her, forcing a smile onto her face before following up the stairs to hopefully find the bracelet she was desperatly looking for.

With each step closer to the room, Takiko just had to wonder if indeed her child was a theif, though somehow she already knew the grim answer. For when her hand touched the knob, behind the closed door a child quickly placed the bracelet back underneath her pillow and fell back into her sleeping position.
A creak sounded in the room while Takiko opened the door, and light streamed to the small crib. Looking in with a solid gaze, the teen moved to go further and check on the child.
"Taia...Taia darling get up..." With that, she picked up the 'drowzy' toddler and settled her in her arms.

Violet moved carefully behind her, not wanting to move too quickly, or too slowly but she was slightly nervous. What if she had it all wrong? What if the bracelet was still at home somewhere?
She just watched, not saying anything, lingering in the doorway.

Lifting the child up, Takiko just looked at her a moment before letting out a mix of a laugh and a sigh. She saw those eyes open slightly to peak through. And with that she held the toddler with one hand and moved towards the crib with the other.
"I figure the only place it could be is here...under the covers or something..." And with that she started with her right hand to search the covers, ignoring the suddenly fussy child that sat in her other hand.
It was when she went under the pillow that everything stilled, her hand touching a small object that should not have been there in the first place.

Violet watched the toddler this time and the fuss she kicked up. It made her even more suspicious.
She did turn her attention to the toddlers mother for a while and when her hand stilled she stared. "Is it?" She wanted to know, she needed to know.

Pulling out the item, she blinked a moment before setting Taia down with a cold air. Back still turned to Violet, she hoarsly called out in the slight darkness.
"Could you turn on a light please?" With that she just starred at the item, disbeliving that a toddler would do such a thing though silenly understanding that the girl had no idea it was wrong, yet.
With that she turned, and opened her hand to show the bracelet sitting there, smooth still dispite how her hand was starting to shake.

Violet did as asked. Turning the light on she looked back seeing her bracelet. She didn't ask for it back, she couldn't even start to know what the girl was feeling.
She just stood there looking at the two of them and the bracelet, her bracelet, she had it back, or would soon.
Her heart was starting to calm down now, her imagenation flying, she could have her own child now, her own daughter or maybe a son, oh she couldn't wait.

After spending a good minute looking at the bracelet, Takiko quickly set the thing in Violet's arms, not sure if she even grabbed it. Turning back towards Taia, she blinked at the girl, slowly inhailing. Letting it all out from her nose, she shook her head and moved towards the door.
"Taia needs to sleep some more..." A soft whisper, she moved to pass Violet, and paused when they were shoulder to shoulder, "I'm sorry for what Sjestaia has done...and for all the inconvience it has caused, I do hope you can forgive her one day...but I can't say she didn't mean it, for she knew exactly what she was doing..."
Leaving it at that, she moved to stand by the door, and held it for Violet as she waited for her to leave the bedroom.
