Lore smiled at that, "They meant during the day, I mainly come to the cafe during the evening after work, I tend to not take breaks, and as I'm told, I tend to just collect vacation days and not use them."
Actually he was sure after all these decades of working he had enough vacation days to take more than a year off.

Tristan laughed at that a bit, when she realized that Skye was doing, Quite the little copy can she thought to herself.
"We were dancing," she told Skye simply, "Together."

Skye had no idea what Tristan had said whatsoever. She stared blankly at the man (funny-looking man, she thought) for several minutes, then figured that the best way to learn would be ... to learn.
"Teach Skye?" she asked, her tone and eyes hopeful. "Skye want learn!" Elnara blinked. "All you do is work, when you're not at the cafe?" she asked incredulously. She looked away, her mind reeling. "You must be really dedicated to your work, then," she murmured. She started walking once more, heading to where she had left the children.

"Well, it's just I don't really have other things to do besides work," Lore replied, "Yes I have a few hobbies, but they can be dealt wtih after work, or when the library closes early. I just have no where else to be besides work and home... well until recently," he added.
Yuki chuckled at that request, "Aww.. that's cute, Tris what do you think?" he laughed at the thought of the little angel wanting to learn.

Tristan mused thoughtfully, she looked doubtful, since really what right did they have to teach her how to dance, "I'm not sure.... she could get hurt doing this."
It was true, despite what many people thought, the highest amount of injuries came from dancing, specfically dances like ballet.

Skye knew they were communicating, but she didn't know what they were telling each other. So she waited patiently, her eyes growing bigger and move innocent, more hopeful ... those blue eyes that were so deep if one looked closely enough one might think they could see her soul.
Her wings fluttered slowly, echoing her hope in their own way. Elnara glanced up at Lore again and smiled widely, knowing what his 'until recently' comment meant. "What other things do you do?" she asked curiously, starting down the row to where the children were sitting.

Yuki looked down at the little girl and thought that6 eyes that big had to be illegal. It was malnipuating it had to be illegal, "I think she's begging us," Yuki commented not sure whether to be amused or worried.
"I write, I mean, not for research or things of that sort, just poetry, bits of it, garden, or at least keep plants, it's hard to garden in an apartment.. .and of course archery I still up keep."

Tris tried not to look, but it was hard not to, the girl side of her wanted to coo over the little girl, while the practical side of her knew... she was in a losing battle.
"Fine," Tris muttered as she glanced at the little girl's feet, the toe nails were clipped, good, they better stay that way, broken toe nails were a pain, literary, she nodded at Skye.

Skye clapped her hands, and her wings fluttered so excitedly that a few feathers actually tore loose and fluttered to the ground. She giggled and threw her arms around Tristan's neck, giving the person a tight hug.
"Sekoo!" she squealed. Elnara nodded, then turned from Lore to look at the children ... and stopped in her tracks. "Where's Skye?" she murmured, hardly daring to believe her eyes.

Yuki laughed at that, "So uhm... Tris, now that this kid has undying graditude, what do you plan to do?"
He couldn't imagine the kid would really try to do what they just did, not that she could at the moment.
Lore looked around, he noticed Rune was helping some other children, but there didn't seem to be a sign of Skye anywhere, "She might have wandered out again," he hoped not.

Tristan rolled her eyes at Yuki as she tried to pry Skye off of her, "Alright then," she told Skye, "I need to get up to show you."
This was going to be an interesting experience.

Skye let go obediently, understanding the gesture more than the words (obviously), and waited to be told (or shown) what to do first. She smiled up at her new friends expectantly. Elnara ran forward and knelt beside Celebor and Serenity. "Where did Skye go?" she asked them softly, trying to keep her panic out of her voice. It was true that Skye had disappeared earlier and been found safe - but this time there was no one else in the library that she knew, and therefore no chance that anyone might be bringing her back again. Celebor looked up at Elnara and blinked, then looked around. "I dunno," he shrugged, looking at his mother fearfully. "She was here just a minute ago!"
He had been so engrossed with the book, he hadn't noticed her disappearing.

Tristan sigh a bit as she looked around, there should just be barely enough room, "Let's start with stretches, if we're going to teach her, we might as well do it propertly."
Even though they lacked the other sort of equipment to teach, but hell they probably wouldn't see the kid again anyhow. She sat down on the floor with her legs stretched out in front of her as she began to spread them as wide as they could go. Which for Tris after doing this since she was young meant a split.

Lore inquired with Rune where Skye had gone, hoping that at least Rune could tell, though Rune hadn't seen Skye, she did sense an angel went in what in a certain direction. He turned to get back to Elnara and tell her himself.
"I hate stretching," Yuki sat and while he spread farther than most normal people, he didn't do so all the way, he found it kind of uncomfortable even after all this time.

Skye sat down and tried to copy the other two, but her legs couldn't stretch nearly as widely as theirs could, no matter how hard she tried. She felt a nice stretch behind her knees at first, that spread up higher in her legs the longer she did it. A brief frown crossed her face, and she tried pushing her legs out further ... but that resulted in an unpleasant pulling sensation higher up. She winced slightly, then looked up at Tristan and Yuki for approval. Elnara instructed Celebor to close the book and follow her, then picked up Serenity and put her on her shoulder. Once they were ready, she looked around for Lore again, wondering now where he had disappeared to.
