Welcome to Gaia! ::

Feng's eyes lit up, "Really? Can you really come and look with us? No one else can but Celebor, but he can't stay down for very long."

Which was true, unlike other little boys and girls the twins couldn't really show people their true room.

Ryu looked thoughtful, "I don't mind, it's not like it's messy or anything."

Though it was hard pressed to be messy.

Kara in the meant time was unpacking and setting everything in order in a room that was being set aside for Lin. Even though she didn't know yet that the little girl preferred. Still it was another child to dote on.

When they reached the top floor, Elnara started them down the hall that led to Kara and Donovan's room. She has no idea if Kara would be there, but it seemed a reasonable enough assumption ... wherever Kara was, Elnara knew she would be doing something with Lin. Perhaps preparing another room? After all, if memory served, the three new Seconds would be coming out of their vases soon, the reaction stage didn't last very long.

Except with Skye ... but Skye was a different case altogether.

"I can't wait for Storm and Starr to be born," she sighed with a smile.

Donovan carefully took stock of everything, there would be the usual need for bedding, clothes, desk, writing things and toys or things to keep the child occupied.

He was leaning against the doorframe of the room scribbling on his clipboard.

Serenity nodded uncertainly and braced herself on the edge of the fountain.

"Lead the way," she smiled, nodding at Feng.

Feng splashed into the fountain followed by Ryu as they both dove deep into the water where the light only shone down as if peering through a window. Their fishy pets swam up to greet them, nudging their masters like they were kittens wanting to be petted.

"In here!" Kara called out as she finished arranging the vase.

Serenity dove into the water, changing form a split second before breaking the surface, the lower half of her body changing to the scales of a fish: black, but shining different colours (greens, blues and purples mostly) when the light hit them just right.

She followed Feng and Ryu, happy to find that she was able to breathe quite comfortably down here. She laughed as she watched the fish that came to greet the twins. Never before had she seen fish act like that.

And Feng had been right: it wasn't cold down here at all.

"Well if you and the kids don't mind moving, you can take rooms up in the third floor so you can all stay together. At the moment the rooming problem is we can't keep the youngest closest to the master bedroom," Donovan muttered as he flipped a few pages to check the inn layout, "Kara you really need to ask if anyone is willing to move rooms."

Elnara thought about it for a moment, then nodded. "I think it might be best," she agreed sheepishly. "I would really like to keep the youngest near me, and the top floor is getting awfully crowded ... and to be honest I can't see either Kara or myself stopping adopting any time soon." She laughed.

Then she winked at Kara. "Besides, you were taking up more than one floor long before I ever came along - Yuki and Yue and their mates have been on the third floor for as long as I've known any of you."
