Aidan gave Robyn a look of concern, it would be harder for her to look after a child, having only a dorm room. He was lucky that he had a house, he had to thank his Dad for letting him rent it... Otherwise he'd still probably be in a cramped up apartment which would not be a good environment to bring up a budding goddess. "Well, my advice would be... Try to arrange and adapt to a more child friendly routine before your laurels change into a kid. Altering my routine to fit this little darling in," he paused and smiled at Altheda who grinned cheekily back at him, before continuing, "was the hardest part..." In fact, he still needed to sort out something about work - he needed to get up early to go to work but he couldn't look after Altheda at the same time and so until he sorted something out he had begged his boss to let him have a week or two off to sort something out...
Altheda had nearly finished her drink and was sipping the last drops from her plastic cup. She had picked up the general gist of the conversation - although some parts she didn't understand - and she was eager to give her own advice to the nice lady. "Have you thought of a name for her yet?" She asked before adding, "Names are very important! If she doesn't like her name... She might not like you, which would be bad..." She smiled helpfully and gazed at the laurels, they seemed a bit boring at the moment and she found it a little difficult to believe she too had been inside an object like that... She couldn't remember it at all. But it didn't matter now, she was alive and with Aidan, two things she was quite pleased about.

"I'm sure I'll be changing my schedule. I may be moving into an apartment, depending on how the circumstances look. I... it all depends on her... I really just have to wait."
She really hated waiting, but there was really nothing else she could do. Preparations didn't help any if they were the wrong preparations. Changing her schedule, her home, wouldn't help a bit if they were the wrong changes. She had to wait until Rose summoned her.
Robyn blinked, startled by the sudden voice. She had almost forgotten Altheda was there, the girl was being so quiet. Giving her a genuine smile the ginger-haired girl nodded slowly. "I have... I was thinking about naming her Danica. It means morning star," she replied quietly, as if a little shy about her decision. The little girl was right though -- it was entirely possible that the little nymph would not like her. She sincerely hoped that was not the case. What would happen if she wasn't content with Robyn as her guardian? Would Rose take her back? Would she be brainwashed, so she wouldn't remember there are gods and goddesses and little nymphs running around?

Altheda considered the name, the meaning was pretty; stars were all sparkly and cool. She decided that she liked it and thought that if it was her name she would certainly be happy with it, not that she was unhappy with the name she had already! "It's a pretty name, I like it. I'm sure she'll love it!" She complimented Robyn, brushing a lock of her teal hair out of her face and tapping absentmindedly on the side of her empty glass.
Aidan nodded in approval to both her dedication to the child - moving was a big thing to do, he had been in his house just before being given the responsibility of looking after Altheda (a lucky coincidence) - and on the name, it had a pleasant meaning behind it and was easy on the tongue. "I think she'll like it too. Altheda means flower-like." He felt a warm feeling in his chest as he saw Altheda's reaction. Her face split open into a wide grin, showing just how proud of her own name she was, Altheda had been a good choice. Hopefully Robyn's kid would like the name she had picked just as much as Altheda liked the name Aidan had given her.

Robyn watched the girl as she considered it, amused by the cute expression on the girl's face. "I'm glad you like it. I hope she does too," She replied cheerfully, glancing down when she started tapping on the side of the glass, "Would you like some more juice?"
She was nearly finished with her coffee, and they day was starting to grow a little dimmer, the shadows moving across the cobblestone streets. Lifting her head, she glanced around the coffee shop, noticing some people who had not been there before as well as some people who had left during the time they had been talking. Perhaps it was time for them to break off this meeting, with the promise that they would meet again soon. She had a lot of work to do, what with a little girl on the way. Robyn chuckled to herself quietly, the thought alighting shivers along her skin.

Altheda shook her head, she was quite full, being ony a small child she could only drink one glass or so. "I'm fine thank you Robyn." she replied politely, giving a small nod of the head to indicate that she was grateful for the offer anyway. She stared outside the front windows of the shop, the light on the flowers was different now and in the shade the blooms looked like little flares of colour.
Aidan also began to notice the time passed and glanced at his watch. He sighed in annoyance, they would have to leave now. Things to do, places to be. He smiled appreciatively at Robyn and stood up. "Well, it's been nice talking to you. But we best be off now." he stated, holding out a hand for Altheda to take. She wiggled out of her chair and took it, smiling pleasantly at Robyn. "Bye Robyn! You should come around soon so we can garden together?" She giggled and waved a cheery goodbye.
"Yes, that's a fair idea. Maybe when your wreath has changed. Which I wish you the best of luck with, by the way."

The girl nodded to Altheda, and then to Aidan when he mentioned they should go, understanding. It was getting late, and she had to get back and finish getting ready for her own arrival. Waving, she chuckled, smiling at the polite response.
"You're welcome. It was nice to meet you. I'll definitely come around sometime."
Waving to the too, the girl stood up, leaving the money and a tip for the waitress on the table, stretching a bit. It had been an interesting meeting, but she had enjoyed it quite a lot. She hoped she would see the two in the future. Turning to watch them leave the shop she grinned, shaking her head to herself, glancing down at the wreath in her hand. Naw, she was sure she'd see them again. See them again pretty soon, she'd be willing to bet.
