Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It was a pleasure meeting you too, sleep well," Lin replied with a nod and a smile.

Well that had certainly been unexpected she thought. Meeting Ulrich's family was something she had not been expecting.

"Night night!" Miyuki waved.

Taking Earendil's hand, Lin pulled herself up. She wasn't going to deny that it was time for all of them to go to sleep.

"Come on Miyuki," she told the little girl, "It's time for bed, grab Senka too."

"Now?" the little girl got to her feet and grabbed the small cat with both hands even though it didn't sound like she wanted to sleep.

The moment Shiara suggested that Senka gave a look to Saki, who was promptly ignoring the look and curing herself around Miyuki's legs.

Lin mused, "If Senka behaves I don't see why not."

Saki having been a long time therapy cat seemed to be of better temperament than Senka.

"Sen-sen will behave won't you Sen-sen?" Miyuki asked her friend hopefully.

Just looking at the hopeful face made Senka rethink that answer. She pressed her ears against her head and almost seemed to pout.

"Fine...."

Miyuki's room (which was once Lin's room) was always kind of plain. Growing up Lin never had a lot of toys (never needed them) and so she often had carried around her toys with her until she began to grow older and sometimes would leave a toy or two behind in her rooms.

The room in the Borderlands was really no different, there was a small 'nest' in the windowsill where Lin's pet butterflies use to rest. Along with scraps of ribbon and whatnot for them to play with. There was a small stone on the dresser, one that would glow when rubbed a lot (from her trip into that special cave).

There was a porcelain doll sitting on the night table, which in hindsight looked a lot like Lin only the hair was maybe a bit shorter and puffer from not being brushed. Unknown to Lin her angel bunny was somewhere under the bed (probably from one of her imagined play times).

Otherwise the room was quite plain, as to be expected.

"Here we are," Lin murmured as she opened the door, "Do you need help getting changed or can you do that yourself?"

"Help," Miyuki told her mommy, even though she could probably do it herself.

"Stay!" Miyuki pouted.

She also never understood why her ada always left them like that.

"Look at it this way, eventually she won't want either of us in the room when she's changing, until then I'd say it's safe," Lin offered to Earendil knowing this was new territory for him.

Lin though wasn't as worried, she had been through it (though she would never admit it). There was something about growing a chest that made it horribly awkward for anyone else to be there when one was changing, especially if it was a guy.

If not down right embarrassing.

She rooted around in Miyuki's bag, making a mental note to unpack it a bit tomorrow.

"Here we go," she smiled as she took Miyuki to a corner and helped the little girl get changed.

Miyuki looked at the bed and then at her ada, she wasn't sure if she wanted to go to sleep by herself.

Saki though, who had followed them eager to share a bed with another child hopped on, "Come on! I'll sing you a lullaby!"

"Don't you dare," Senka hissed taking up the position that would put her closest to Miyuki.

Miyuki paused to think about it, she was going to have to go to bed either way. She padded over to her ada and held out her arms to him. She wasn't going to make this easy.
