Feeling incredibly out of place, Ajinaru headed towards one of the couches by the fire, taking a seat as far from other people as she could.
((if there's other people at the fire, sorry. let me know and I'll edit this.))

Cass looked at the cup, and could not help but smile. Her arms wrapped loosely around the girl who was practically almost her step-daughter. "Wanna have a sleepover in your daddy's room?" she asked, smiling up at Tomo, before looking back down at the cute girl, eyes comforting, and voice soothing.

When Cerri came back to the main room, Arlen's cup of milk was in hand, and she smiled at the picture Tomo, Cass and Rhi painted; they were rather adorable together. Walking to the boy, she handed over his milk with a wink, then looked to the new girl. "Hey... should we go talk to her maybe? She looks kind of lonely." she whispered to him.

"Thank you," Arlen said taking the chocolate milk and nodding at Cerri's suggestion. Walking over towards the fire place, he paused by Tomo, Cass, and Rhi. "I hope you feel better," he said to the girl before continuing into the couches.

Tomo nodded, "That's a good idea." he said, some of the tiredness in his eyes draining away as they were replaced with love for his fiancee and daughter.
Rhiannon rested her teeth on the rim of her cup before nodding. "Okay." She squeaked out. She hugged both Cass and Tomo in turn.
Tomo stood up and nodded, "To bed, then!" He announced, then turned to look at the new girl. "Keys to the rooms are on this hook here. Feel free to pick a room!"

Cass pulled them to bed, smiling the whole way. Her ear twitched a couple of times on the way up.... She had forgotten something! Hmm, oh well. She'd remember what it was in due time. Wandering into Tomo's room, she flopped onto teh bed, belly first, face nuzzling happily into his pillow, as she already started to fade in and out of sleep's grasp.

Ajinaru looked up at the landlord's comment. "Thank you," she called, then noticed the boy from earlier approaching her. She smiled.
"Hi," she said. "I'm Ajinaru."

Cerri watched the two children, but stayed back, watching them and the fire in turns. The possibility of the old Arlen returning and Lily aside... the boy needed some friends his own age, and that probably wouldn't happen if she hovered.

Tomo nodded and followed Cass up with Rhi. Once they reached their room Tomo settled his daughter between them and shook his head. "Silly love. Sleepy already?" He teased, leaning over the bed to kiss his girls in turn. He walked to the crib and ran his fingers over the small ears that seemed to be getting fuzzier by the day. He was sure the youngest Uehara would wake him right on schedule at three in the morning. Right now, he was ready for sleep. He crawled into bed and pulled the covers everyone. "Good night, my beautiful girls." He murmured.

"I'm Arlen," Arlen said, smiling and holding out his hand to the girl.

She stood and shook his hand. "That's a cool name," she said.

"I like your name too," Arlen said smiling as he pumped her hand up and down energetically. "Do you want some chocolate milk? Miss Cerri's really good at making it."

"Really?" asked, laughing as the hand-shake got more and more silly. "I love chocolate milk! Only..." Her smile faded abruptly, and she stopped contributing to the handshake. "I don't have much money," she said, quietly.

Arlen shrugged, sipping his glass of chocolate milk, some of it spilling from the motion of the handshake. "I don't have any money and I have some. I don't think it matters."

"Of course it doesn't matter." Cerri injected smoothly with a smile, eye going from the fire and to the girl. "If you want some chocolate milk, Ajinaru, then just ask. Or anything else for that matter. We're not about to let a child starve." she added, sticking out her tongue, making a silly face.
