"They should be able to, in some sort of way. So far Coailiann can levitate a bit, but that's about all. Not all will have "Magick" so to say. They will have abilities relating to their previous lives though." she smiled and leaned against the desk, the book slamming shut as she did.
"There are others, I think about 12. Patrick is the first to have an actual infant - I'm sure he'd be happy to help you, whenever you need it."

Airaka let out a slight sigh of relief, and nodded her head. When she mentioned other, other than Ianna that was, she grinned, slightly happy it wasn't just the two of them at the moment.
''So.. I guess that's that, eh? Anything else?''
Darius walked back over to her, and watched her eye his back pack, to whence he crossed his arms over his chest, and shook his head childishly.

"Not quite." she picked up a small piece of paper and slid it to her. Written upon it was gold letters saying "Press Me". As soon as Airaka would she and Darius were transported into a large room. As they entered the main lobby Via the portal connecting the shoppe and the headquarters, the first thing they would notice is the vast...largeness...of it. The high ceilings, edged with gold, the large chandeliers dripping with crystals, the smooth white tile-floors, colorful rugs, and beautiful paintings.
To the left was a large recreational area complete with a large flat-screen television, several rows of various games, movies, video game systems and books. There was a basket of toys in the corner, full of plushies, dolls, cards and various other objects which would appeal to most ages. Included in the area were several comfy looking couches and plush chairs just made for sitting, lounging or bouncing in. It seemed to be heaven on a fluffy carpet. It even had a foos-ball table and an air-hockey table....and for the slightly more food-minded GoTP, a mini fridge always full.
To the right was a large elaborate counter, which seemed to have a force-field of some sort around it, keeping anyone who was not Ianna or Matilda from going behind it. On the counter lay a roster with the names of all the Ghostly children and their guardians, and an appointment book.
From there, it branched off into halls with rows and rows of rooms. Some were storage, some were guest rooms, some were bathrooms, and one very large and ornate door to the end of the hall led to the gardens. "Welcome to Headquarters, Airaka, You're welcome here at any time."

Ianna chuckled as she watched the two of them. "You can come here and bring whoever you want, whenever you want. I do hope you come often." her mood was definitely picking up.
Somehow Coailiann had transported with them and was crawling around - outside of the stupid prison that her mother had insisted on placing her in. Now that she was home, she didn't have to be in it anymore. A happy gurgle could be heard then.
"Press the red button, Darius."

Airaka smiled, and winked at Ianna, quick enough so that when Darius gave her a look, he didn't see the wink. He shook his head at her though, and looked back to the machine. She knelt down, the wand clutched in one hand, by Coailiann and smiled warmly,
''Hello sweetie!'' she cooed, and glanced up at Ianna, checking to see if what she was doing was fine.
Darius obeyed the voice, and after a bit of clumsy searching, he brown eyes came across the the button, and he pushed it. When he bounced back up, he heard the sound the machine made when they were turned on, the 'whooshing' of air. He grinned happily, and held his hand over the place where you played. Somethings were more interesting in other ways then their purpose.

Ianna nodded as if to say her talking to Coailiann was fine. She simply walked into the area where the fridge was and grabbed a bottle of water with one hand, closing the seemingly empty fridge again. It was hard with only one useable arm.
Finally, the woman sat down again and closed her eyes, looking rather exhausted from her perch on the couch.
Coailiann looked up at the lady and waved her little hand, falling backwards on her rear when she lifted the hand - she needed it for balance. "ACK!" she squeeled, her little nose crinkling from her falling.
She didn't like to fall - the impact always surprised her. "Hiiii." it seemed to be her favorite word as of late.

Darius turned around, Airaka was busying herself with the baby, and the other woman was going to fall asleep, maybe. So he had no one to play air hockey with. He shrugged his shoulders, and sat down cross legged by Airaka, and the child. Maybe next time, if he could wear Airaka down enough to take him back.
Airaka gave his a gleeful look, before turning back to the baby.
''Hi!''
Airaka moved from her knees, to her butt, imitating Darius as she went cross legged. Darius just rolled his eyes at her, and glanced at the child.
''She came out of a wand?''
Airaka nodded her head, her eyes remaining on the child.
''So are you gonna have a boy, or a girl? And what are you going to call it?''
''I don't think I have the right to chose, Darius,''
As she said this, her sapphire eyes raised to Ianna, before falling back down to Coailiann.

Ianna shook her head wearily. "No. The wand spirit is what it is, and nobody will know until it emerges. And yes, Coailiann came from a wand," she paused as she reached over to the cabinet where her wand was kept and slid it out, the silver wand with the pink and green rose atop it.
"She's a Sidhe."
Coailiann looked up at Airaka with bright green eyes, her white 'curls' (which were actually just very short wisps of hair making their way to her shoulders) bouncing slightly as she did. "Apple?"
Ianna smiled a bit. "No, baby, Airaka doesn't have any apples. After they leave I'll give you some though."
"APPLE!" she whined and Ianna sighed. "Darius, would you go to the little refrigerator and think about peeled apple slices, then open it? Please?"
If he did it, when he opened it, the only thing in there would be a bowl of peeled apple slices.

Airaka nodded her head. That was understandable. Although Darius didn't seem to agree. He just shook his head though, and didn't respond.
''What's a Sidhe?'' he growled at Airaka.
''I'll tell you when we get home,'' she whispered back at him.
When Coailiann started demanding the fruit, Darius bounced to his feet, and bit away from her. Airaka glanced up at him, and gave him an odd look, and he just glared back at her. As Ianna ordered him to get the apple, he did as told, quickly, and gingerly handed the apples to Airaka. The crimson haired woman held them out to the little girl, with a sweet smile on her face.

Ianna certainly hadn't demanded anything, but that was beside the point. "Thank you. If you're hungry, you can think of anything and it'll pop up in that little fridge." she nodded her head at that and closed her silver eyes.
Coailiann was ecstatic about getting her favorite food and took one gingerly, her little chubby fingers pushing the piece into her mouth before gnawing on it. "Mmgh! Apple!" she sang gleefully, bouncing again as she nibbled with her very few teeth.

Darius blinked at Airaka, who was giggling childishly.
''Airaka... I have home work to do, and what about the other children.''
Airaka's blue eyes widened slightly, and she bounced to her feet, and lowered the bowl of apples so Coailiann could take them for herself.
''Your right, Darius, I'm sorry.''
She turned to Ianna, and bowed her head,
''Thank you, but we must take our leave. I left some of my charges at home, and I must go watch them. As well, Darius needs to finish his work from school.''
Airaka brushed her hair from her face, and clutched the dragon wand in her hand.

A nod of Ianna's head was the initial response - as well as a little whimper from the Sidhe.
"Take the door to the side of the desk, Airaka. It will bring you back to the shop, and that's how you can get in and out of the headquarters from now on. Have a good day - and I hope you come back often."

Airaka nodded, and watched Darius walk over to the door.
'' Of course we will be back. It'll be great to see you, and Coailiann, again.''
Darius threw open the door, and stepped inside, as Airaka raced after him. When the arrived back in the shop. With a grimace, Darius looked up at Airaka, who was smirking down at him.
'' I didn't know you wanted to do your home work so bad. Or does this have something to do with Sari?''
Darius glared at her, and Airaka laughed, skipping away from him.
''Ya, well, your going to have an ugly baby! Lets go, now.''
'' 'Kay, fine. Don't spaz. '' she said, childishly rolling her eyes.
Airaka pushed open the door with her back, holding it open for him, and then the two of them started down the street, Airaka's wand held gently in her hands.
