Maweh didn't have access to all of Aure's memories, and that was an important thing to remember. That was why she didn't realize the significance of the street she was walking down; there was no way she could or should know that Aure's therapist, one Keirro Fisher, lived at the house across the street from the bench she had been sitting on for the last hour and a half. There was no way she could know that Keirro had an Illusionary, though the radar that Aure had so often used to detect one was going insane.
She uncrossed her legs, then crossed them again in the opposite way as she turned a page in her book. The mystery of the hooded child weighed heavily on her mind. Who had that been? Why had he- or she- never identified themselves, as was polite?
It was strange and disconcerting. It was also a mystery that no truly scientific mind could pass up. And, in true scientific fashion, she had followed the little Aure-instinct in her head to this location. She had sat down about noon... It was now one thirty. She had begun to think seriously about leaving.
Keirro finally exited her home with an infant Illusionary in a stroller. The little child seemed well behaved and egar to please as any other child, but looks were always decieving. One of the neighbors saw Keirro and Ranis. Instead of waving at the two, the neighbor quickly scooped up her pet toy poodle and dashed inside her home. Keirro groaned. There was a time when the nieghbors would constantly go out of thier way to talk to her about the most menial of things. Eer since Ranis entered her life, and bit the nieghbor's cat and owner, the nieghborhood had pratically shunned the pair from any social gatherings.
As Keirro started to push the stroller down the sidewalk, something caught her eye. Keirro nearly stopped dead in her tracks when she saw a girl that looked just like Aurelius. Keirro reasoned that the blonde beauty across the street couldn't possibly be the little child that Keirro had spoken with just a few months ago. Maybe it was an older sister of sorts. It had to be a sister, but Keirro couldn't remember Aure ever talking about a sibling.
Maweh looked up, and Aure's voice in her head went 'ding! congratulations, there she is!'. "Hey!" She stood up, folding down the page in her book and crossing the street quickly. "I don't know if you know me, but I'm..." She paused, trying to decide. Use her own name, or make sure Aure had a place to return to when she came back? "...Aurelius Venport. I need help identifying someone?" Cautiously, she held out her hand.
Keirro blinked. She needed more sleep. Ranis looked up at the stranger and started to growl while flicking his tail. "Ranis, sush. I would be more than happy to help, what can I do...Aure was it?" Keirroe replied. It was just a coincidence, it had to be. Just a simple case of mistaken indentity, that's all. The Aure Keirro knew never seemed the type to talk to strangers. Very much like a certain infant she ad to deal with on a constant basis.
"It's Aurelius," Maweh said cautiously, crossing her arms. "Do I know you? You look pretty familiar."
"Is that really you Aurelius? I think you were one of my patients..." said Keirro. How was this possible? Aure was just a child when Keirro last saw her!
Maweh furrowed her eyebrows. "I don't remember," she said slowly. "Things happened... apparently my new species grows this way... and I need help to identify someone."
"Oh my God, Aurelius." Keirro gasped. She looked up and down at Aure with a suprised look on her face.
Keirro's mouth dropped. First her mind went to the obvious hieght change, then the obvious change that signals the change from girlhood to woman hood, and finally, the length of that skirt!
She tilted her head. Of course Aurelius hadn't always looked this way. Maweh tended to think that it was because of her own presence in the body that it looked like this, and that it would revert to a child-like form once she left. "Can you help me or not?" She spared a glance at the baby, finally. It looked like he was the same as her original, in some weird way.
"Yes, of course." replied Keirro as she tried to regain her composure.
Maweh nodded. "Alright. Is there someplace where no one will overhear that I can tell you the details?"
"My House, I'm afraid. The nieghbors are exceptionally nosey here." said Keirro. The infant was glaring at Maweh with defiant eyes. The little infant sensed something about this woman that didn't click with him.
She made a face at the baby behind one hand. Normally she was friendly, but this kid set her on edge. "That's good then," she said to Keirro. "This is kind of... sensitive."
Keirro nodded. She had recieved training on sensitive cases, but rarely delt with them. She now had to switch from frantic guardian of a savage hellion, to a calm and collected doctor that she was supposed to be. She motioned to the woman to follow her while Ranis kept watch on Maweh.

She followed Keirro calmly, with both hands clutching the book to reveal exactly how important she thought this was. "I am sorry to bother you," she said, following Keirro into the house. "But it's like fate ordered me to come here."
