Sanar smiled and sat down in the dirt, cradling the jar in her lap. Chao discreetly nudged her with her foot to remind the child over the lesson in manners they'd had numerous times, "than'-oo," she replied prompty, looking up at Karma for only a moment before her attention latched back onto the jar.

Chao scratched at her chin, glad Karma reacted so well to Sanar's grabbiness but feeling the need to apologise anyway, "sorry about San's insistance, she'd quite... grabby at times. But she's very careful, espically with jars," she hurried to assure the other woman. Sanar tended to only tear apart things that were made of cloth, thank gods.

"Partmigan and reindeer hrm?" she struggled to recall those particular creatures then smiled as they came to her. "Can't wait to see what he.. or she looks like as a gryphon. I bet they'll be goregous. I don't suppose you've decided on a name yet...?" she ventured, not wanting to have to call the poor unemerged Aerandir it.

"Oh, San? She's a Guanaco Ostrich mix."

Holding back a giggle at how cute the little child was, Karma nodded towards Sanar, "You're very welcome." Diverting her attention back to Chao, she was glad to hear her reassuring words. "No, it's perfectly alright." She didn't have much doubt that Sanar would be careful with Faust in the first place; but it helped to hear from her guardian that she was very careful with jars.

"Yes, I can't wait either, I'm sure he'll look wonderful." Karma's words were filled with excitement, she couldn't wait to be taking care of an Aerandir gryphon. Her memory skipped back to the letter she had recieved from Anthony, "It's a male, or at least it has an 82 percent chance of being one. Pretty good odds I think, so I named him Faust." A grin of a proud mother, or in this case, guardian, slipped onto her face.

Guanaco and Ostrich? The guardian nodded, recognising the two animals. "Really? Wow, she's certainly a very beautiful, and cute child." Karma stated, admiring Sanar for a second before glancing back at Chao.

Chao laughed and nodded, "the odds seem to be usually right, at least in all the cases I've heard. It'd be interesting if one of the gryphons emerged as a member of the opposite sex." Interesting... but unpleasant, choosing names was hard enough without having to go back and choose them twice.

"Faust... such a cool name, does it mean anything in particular?"

At the mention of Sanar Chao laughed, though her own pride in her daughter slipped into the tone, "cute, perhaps, but a menace towards any clothing with even the slightest of rips. Or anything shiny. My little one likes to hoard things and take them apart. Thankfully jars are one of the few exceptions."

Sanar's ears flickered and she looked up, catching the adults attention on her. They probably wanted the smooth back....

The child pouted she shifted so that her back was to them, fluffing her wings in response to the looks as if to ward them off. She liked holding the smooth.

Agreeing, Karma muffled another giggle, "Yes, that would certainly be interesting, probably very awkward as well though." She could only imagine that scenario. Though what would happen if it did? "I wonder if it will ever happen."

Abandoning her thoughts, she shook her head, "No, I'm not very good at finding nice names with meanings, so I just choose ones that I think will fit." She scratched the back of her head, slightly embarrassed that the name had no significance other than it was pretty.

As Karma listened to Chao she picutred a large pile of shiney jewlery with ripped pieces of fabric scattered around it. "At least you know where to find something if it disappears. Does she use them for anything?" The thought of a child hoarding shiney things and fabric was amusing, yes, but perhaps there was a reason for it? She glanced at Sanar, and watched her turn her back to them. She was definatly cute, and by the sound of it, an interesting Aerandir to care for.

Chao smiled and shrugged, "eh, I dunno, half the time I find a name I like that just happens to have a pretty meaning. Better that you've named him something you like and think will fit."

Pausing Chao frowned and shrugged helplessly, "see, that's the thing, half the time I don't know what she does with it. She has little stashes hidden both at home and in little nooks around the island. The shiny stuff she hasn't quite found a use for... that I know of at least. I think she just likes to hoard it, but the fabric she takes apart," she gestured to the partially destroyed shirt Sanar had been working on earlier, "I think she's trying to get an idea of needlework because of her job as a weaver."

Sanar smiled when she went undisturbed and began to scoot off, she would go and show the smooth her stash! It wouldn't try and take the things in it like her Mu did.

Karma nodded, it made sense. Better to have a nice name with no meaning at all, than a name that made no sense except for the meaning.

The guardian's eyes widened slighty. All over the island? She was starting to see what Chao meant, it would be really hard to try to keep track of everything. "She's a weaver? That's so neat!" She glanced at the shirt that Chao had motioned to. "Well, except for the loss of clothing I guess.. How's she doing with her job?" Karma had never quite gotten the hang of sewing, or knitting. The only thing she could do was crochet, but that was a while ago.

Her attention, however, had been temporarily diverted to Sanar. She was so caught up in her conversation with Chao, that she almost didn't notice Sanar scooting off with Faust. "Chao? Where is Sanar taking Faust?" Karma knew the Aerandir wouldn't do anything with Faust, but, she was curious of where she was taking him.

"She's doing alright with it I guess, but she seems more interested in tearing things apart than making things. A friend of mine, Sin actually, knits, I'm going to corner her and ask if she'll help get Sanar started with that," Chao replied with a nod and a smile, wishing she had been better aquainted with her daughter's craft. But oh well.

Glancing at the Aerandir child she blinked and shrugged, "I... don't know."

Sanar stopped suddenly as the jar in her hands began to glow. She smiled, feeling it pulse against her hands and drapped her wings over it for a moment before pulling them back and turning around, smiling at the adults, "shhiiiiyy smoooth," she forced out and held up the glowing jar to show them.

"Oh my..." Chao blinked in surprise then grinned happily, turning to Karma, "that means Faust is going to emerge soon!"

Karma focused on Chao once again so she could properly respond. "You have to start somewhere I guess, so maybe for her, it's ripping things apart? I don't know." Shrugging she continued on. "It's great that she's going to get some lessons though. Is she excited about learing how to knit?" Karma inquired, wondering if each Aerandir's job was an activity that they enjoyed. She guessed it would be, but you never know.

Peering back at Sanar, she saw that she was holding out Faust. Karma stared at the jar, he was glowing! It was a pretty blue glow to boot. She was entranced by it and nodded to Sanar. "It, certainly is shiny!"

Coincidentally, the guardian was about to ask Chao what it meant, when she told her without a question. Addmitedly, it took a moment for her brain to register what Chao had just told her, but soon enough, it clicked. "E...emerge?" She stuttered out of sheer excitement. "So, that means he'll be a gryphon? Wow! Just, just wow!" Karma darted over to Sanar, and knelt down beside her, grinning happily, staring at Faust.

Strangely well timed, the glowing jar decided it wished to become a gryphon. The glowing ether inside seemed to take on a thickness which it had not had before as the ingredients within dissappeared. The fog-like substance began to writhe inside the jar and under the scrutiny of the watchers decided now was the time to emerge.

The new safety glass bottles shattered rather more easily than the old and the fog dribbled through the fingers of the onlookers, touching ground with a rather solid thump.

Slowly, the form sprouted a multitude of gangly appendages - Long legs, antlers, flickering ears and as it shivered slightly, it's fur came to life and shimmering. In a moment it was done. Faust was now part of the physical world.

Sanar grinned, wings fluttering in surprise and happiness as the gryphon emerged. Placing the not broken smooth down on the ground she pressed her lips together and clicked warmly in greeting.

Chao gasped and smiled, then turned to Karma, clasping her hands, "congrats hun! He's goregous."

Karma's eyes grew as she gazed intently at the foggy mass fall to the ground and take shape. When the process was complete, she gasped and, not being able to cantain herself, hugged the newly formed gryphon. "Faust! You emerged! You're a gryphon! Oh, you're wonderful!" Looking up at Chao, she grinned and nodded, "Yes, thank you!"

Faust, more than a little bit surprised by the woman who had just embraced him, let out a slightly distressed deep chirp. It bent it's head down, releasing itself from Karma's grasp, and trotted about in a circle. He was definatly happy to be mobile.
Taking note of Sanar, he chirped and walked to her, nodding his head in what seemed to be either a greeting, or thanks.

Chao smiled and put her hands behind her head, just taking the time to enjoy looking at the two Aerandir.

Sanar smiled at the new gryphon and nodded her head back. She approached slowly and put out a hand to smooth the plummage besides the horns, alternating between clicking and speaking in low, slightly rumbling tones. She was saying hello and welcome, in her own way.

Karma smiled, and stood up, standing beside Chao. It was certainly a sight to see, Faust leaving his jar, and it was a wonderful experience to see him form from fog. So she was content, gazing at her charge.

Faust lowered his head, and made a deep grumbling noise, contented by the smoothing. His wings stretched out, and resumed their position, folded on his back within moments. Lifting up his legs one at a time, the gryphon stretched his newly formed body.

Chao smiled and her eyes momentarily strayed to her wristwatch. Crap, nearly dinner already! Loki and Rein would have her head. Or maybe just her ankles as they were easier to reach.

"Karma it was great meeting you and getting a chance to see Faust emerge, but I'm afraid San and I have to be heading home as it's getting close to dinner time. San!" she called to her charge.

Sanar giggled and watched at the gryph stretched and rumbled, ears flicking to catch the sounds before her mother called her.

Giving Faust a last pet she nearly made to go to her mother before her eyes fell to the hexagonal glass of the jar. Grabbing one two pieces she hastily put them in her woven bag, hugged Faust's muzzel briefly and trotted to her mother's side.


"Hope to see you around, don't hesistate to stop by if you ever need anything," Chao said with a last wave, a motion that Sanar copied, and the duo began to make their way back towards Setone.

Karma nodded, only noticing that the sun was starting to set. "Alright then. It certainly was nice to meet you. Bye Chao, bye Sanar!" She waved to the pair as they set off to the gathering of huts.

Faust chirped happily, and looked over his shoulder to catch a glimpse of the gryphon and her guardian walking off. He peered at Karma, and trotted in front of her. "Nwark?" Tilting his head to the side, Faust looked up at his guardian.

Taking notice of her gryphon staring at her. She muffled a giggle, and bent down on her knees. "We had better get going as well you know." She stroked his head for a moment before scooping up the rest of the glass shards. She didn't want someone to end up hurting themselves.

The gryphon observed the lady curiously. Soon he became bored of just standing, and romped around in the grass until Karma called him over to her so that they also could make their way to their cabin.
