Rook looked thoughtful for a moment" madline madal " he frowned " Maddy" he nodded Maddy was easier. Perhaps he was just used to saying the other's name more or perhaps it was the fact that her name was long that made it difficult. Either way his first attempts had proven that copying exactly how she said her name wasn't going to work right away. Rook was still too young yet to pick up all words or names off the bat.
" Mom should just call you Maddy" He suggested as the tip of his tail curled and uncurled in his lap. Why give someone a hard name?

"Yeah, I thought so too, but.." She shrugged: "Apparently it was the name of some great-aunt or something. It's just stupid, you know? Why give me a name I'll never use?"
She grimaced, when she got a sibling she was sure as heck going to make sure that her mom named it something nicer and easier to pronounce.
Maddy started, looking a bit confused: did she really just think that? But.. She shook her head - suddenly getting a sibling didn't seem so bad as it had before.
Oh well. Maybe having Rook put things into perspective had helped? That had to be it, yeah.
She smiled again, brushing the awkward feeling of something aside from her mind.

Rook shrugged as well then directed his attention to something far more interesting, the girl's wings " Can I touch? Will be gentle" he gestured towards them. Bishop's headwings were soft and feathery, Gal's wings were similar but different and he wanted to know what these ones felt like. Touch was still a very important part of the learning process for him.
Carol approached slowly from behind Rook having grabbed a copy of Paddington bear and a small tome of illustrated fairytales. She watched her son carefully, not quite ready to interrupt his play but eager to get home nonetheless.

She considered him for a few moments. On one hand, she hated having people touch her wings, but on the other, he'd asked nicely and said he'd be gentle - and she was a sucker for a cute face.
"Alright, but be really careful, OK? And try to keep the dust off your clothes, it can be a pain to get out." She turned around and tried to keep her wings still long enough for him to touch them.

Rook was confused by the mention of dust but Nodded anyways and reached out. He brushed his fingers lightly against the pale bottom of a wing before pulling back quickly at the strange feel. Definetely different than the other wings he'd felt, not bad just strange " was weird , thank you" he murmured now looking at his dust covered fingers, uncertain about what to do with them.

"You can just wipe it on my sleeve, it'll be full of the stuff by tonight anyway." She held out an arm for him to wipe his hand on, smiling lightly. "And you're welcome - is that your Mom over there, looking at us? Because if not, I think we need to get an adult soon." She grinned mischieviously, doing a 180 jump from her earlier mood.

Rook turned to per over his shoulder while using the girl's shirt to remove the power from his hands. He hoped she knew how to get rid of it easily herself after her warning to him " That's mom" he confirmed completely missing the girls other reference in the statement" I think she wants to go now." Rook was enjoying talking to Maddy but he couldn't very well deny his mother.

"Alright. Thanks for.." She hesitated - he probably hadn't cottoned on to how much he'd helped her, so mentioning that would just be awkward. "Thanks for cheering me up. I'll see you sometime, OK?"
She smiled at his mom and got up. "It was nice to meet you, Rook. Bye!" It was time she got home to her own mom and told her about her change of heart.

Rook nodded " Bye and your welcome" he said softly before standing himself and following his mother from the library. It had been a short trip but fun and he'd met someone new and interesting.
