Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lauss gave her a stern look before deciding it was best to skip the talking -- that was getting him in trouble lately, anyway -- and just lifted the girl, the little muscles he had able to kidnap her back to the Grady house, holding her like a little doll the entire way. He didn't care if he got into trouble from this, he got in trouble for everything he did. "I'd like for you and Mister Kelly to have kissing practice when he awakens. It might help him feel better," he told Kendra right before they walked into the house, setting her down and backing away, gesturing to the sleeping boy.

"Rhian used her abilities t' help Kelly sleep. Poor guy's exhausted," Faolan said then looked down at Rhian. "She wore herself out."

Outside, Anson raised a brow as Lauss appeared with his daughter. "Um, Lauss..." He sighed and thought better of it, patting the boy on the head as Kendra went in and looked at Kelly.

"Is he gonna be okay?" she asked quietly from the doorway.

Ellandra fell silent then, nodding a little and just watching the Essentic and the boy - the two children - sleep. After a few minutes, however, she got to her feet and headed to the nursery to take care of the twins. She had the feeling they'd be waking up soon, and the last thing Kelly or Rhian needed right now wazs to be woken up by the wailing of an infant.

Lauss nodded to Ziazan, though kept his focus on little Kendra, wanting to see if she would be of any help. Wake up, Kelly! Sighing quietly to himself, he'd wait it out in Ziazan's room, like the other essentic had offered. He would have prefered to sleep with Rhian, but that wasn't exactly possible. It was against the rules, too, wasn't it? No use in getting her in further trouble. He followed the other alter upstairs, not knowing which room was whose.

Lauss nodded, sitting down on the bed. "Mostly from gardening earlier, though, actually," he admitted, not knowing that he was making the situation at hand seem less important. Normally he had a book in his hands to close before he went to bed. This felt weird. Just... sleeping. "Where will you sleep, Ziazan?" He blinked back at the other, propping his head up a bit with a pillow to look at the alter.

Ellandra was in the nursery, feeding Bel with a blanket thrown over her shoulder for modesty. The little girl had been on the verge of crying when her Mama had returned, while Sam had either been asleep still or listening with his eyes closed. Either way, the little boy was being less fussy than his sister, and thus the little girl got to eat first. The brunette mother of twins and two Essentics - and now, it seemed, stepmother to another little boy - hummed softly under her breath, contemplating the adjustments everyone was going to need to make now. This wouldn't be an easy adjustment, she suspected. . . but then, it might be easier than she thought. "Well, little ones, it turns out you have an older brother. . . ."

Zia hovered in the doorway of the nursery, watching Elle and her daughter a moment. "How're you taking this all, Mama?" It walked in to peer down at Sam, smiling at its little brother. "Guess you have two little Faos in the family now."

"If Kelly's anything like his father, you should be alright," Zia chuckled, looking back at Elle. "You're a good parent. Kelly might not be as traumatized by all this as everyone thinks. He's shocked, but also really relieved. He knows who he really is now and where he belongs. I don't think that's a traumatic thing."

Faolan looked down at Rhian. "Nae, darlin'. You're just sleepy is all."

"You got pink hair," Kelly said, moving to look at Rhian.
