Shah stared down at the little girl as she approached him. Damn she was tiny, Shah wondered if he was this small when he was younger. He stopped there, not wanting to go over his past. He handed the little on a bag but he wasn't sure if she'd be able to hold it. It was rather heavy, he doubted this little figure would have enough strength to hold it above ground. She asked a lot of questions and Shah really didn't feel like answering them. Still, if Krisha hadn't stopped her now he thought why not take up the opportunity.
"Only a few things, don't worry about it. The names Shah by the way." He wouldn't be snobby with the girl. Not now at least, he didn't want to get on Krisha's bad side just yet although it already seemed like he was. His purple eyes scanned over the little girls pointed ears and wings, her and Krisha were a lot a like in appearance. He wondered how much more alike the two would become as Kira grew older.
He glanced over to Krisha and the boy named Sylas. He couldn't hear word for word on what they were talking about but he was no fool. He knew well enough that it was on the topic of him being a werewolf. He wondered what type of problem that would pose. It was always a problem so Shah knew what to do if a situation was to arrive. "Hey, Sylas." Shah called over to the little boy just as Kira called him over. "Come help the little lady with unpacking." He said as he moved a little over to him and dropped one into his hands. See how well the weight agreed with him, he could be a little rougher with the boy.
From the boys pale skin and the odd scent that came with him, Shah knew he was a vampire. He had nothing to worry about though, tiny little guy. He could sneeze and he'd go flying. To be honest, Shah would laugh at him if he tried anything.
"The big bad wolf, huh?" Shah asked Krisha, still holding one of the bags. "And the three little pigs." His eyes scanned over Krisha, Kira and Sylas. He said this low so only Krisha could hear. "Don't worry, I won't touch the hair on their chiny chin chins."

Sylas looked at Krisha before answering Kira's question. "I'll do my best ma'am. He won't be touching her if I have anything to say about it." he said smiling. He then looked over at the wolf and Kira. She was taking the bag from him and he figured he'd help. "Sure Kira. I'll help." he said.
He then jumped down out of Krisha's arms and walked over, trying to act tougher than he was, to the werewolf. "Give me that bag please." he said. He knew that he was no match for Shah. Of course, if he tried anything, he could use some of his magic on him. Or whack him with his staff. But that would be about all. He just glared as he took the extremely heavy bag from Shah. "Oof!" he muttered under his breath as he lifted the bag up as high as he could. He didn't even know if he could get the bag to where he was supposed to without being squished or too tired to move.
He turned to Kira then, "Ok! Lets go Kira. Show me where this bag is going." he said, walking beside her. He looked back and glared at the werewolf. He didn't know what to do. He hadn't ever been in contact with one, so he didn't know if even they were really not supposed to get along. But he did know that if he tried anything funny, even though Sylas was tiny, he could still control water. He was okay with using that. All he would need is finding some. He didn't see much here. He'd have to go back to the Goddess Minty to find out more secrets of water.

Kira's bag dragged on the ground.
It really was quite heavy.
Her mind was back to roving over what could be in it.
She hoped she had something in there to help with her studies.
Or help her with her 'studies'
"Krisha's room is the first hole in room in the labyrinth, with the dark blue cloth over it.
Mines the next one, with the lighter blue.
The gray ones aren't claimed yet."
He could pick any of those, as could their new room mate.
It would be interesting to have housemates.
Especially since the other guy seemed to like Krisha.
Interesting indeed.
_______________________
"If you do..." She whispered back, "I'll rip what little hair you do have on your chiny chin chin out"
She jerked the other bag from him, heading into the first room.
If he followed, fine.
If he walked through that doorway, he was helping her put up the other stuff.
The spartan furnishings would no longer look so dim after she was done.
No, not so dim at all.
"If you have nothing better to do, help me un-pack"
She knew he was just standing there, watching.
It was a bit disturbing.
She had her own way of dealing with him if he tried anything.
Fans were being laid out on the bed, along with a blanket.
A metal version the other fans was still in her bag, within reach.
She took it out and laid it unfolded as well.
She should line her wails with them, she had the wooden shelves.
They would look lovely up there....
Now if one could only get past the height issue.

The glares from the little vampire were funny but also insulting. He had guts, he'd give the kid that much but either way he was tiny. And no amount of courage could overcome age and height difference. That is, of course, unless you were a nasty squirt who had a crafty head on shoulders. Have a couple tricks up your sleeves and you'd stand a chance. Shah's eyes scanned over the white headed, pale, blue eyed vampire as he trailed after Kira. He guessed that staff would be that trick, unless he just wanted to play wizard. Shah didn't worry about him, he had bigger problems. Prettier problems, Mama Bear problems.
A couldn't help but smile at Krisha as she threatened him. Oh yes, oh yes, Shah was going to have a blast with her. She yanked the bag from his hand roughly and Shah liked that too. She left him there, standing, watching her leave. He stood out in the glade, thinking a little bit but not too much. He didn't think over what he did, not to the point of having a plan. Just to the point of having a goal, a spontaneous one he was. His "go with your first idea" tactics might be the end of him one day, might.
Shah slapped a nasty mosquito away from his leg. There were less bugs out here but there were still bugs, he walked through the doorway a little after Krisha to avoid any more tiny blood suckers. For all he knew they could pop out of the ground like daisies. Both the insects and the second kind.
He slipped behind dark blue cloth which he assumed was Krisha's. Sure enough she was standing besides her bed as she laid out numerous fans. "A collector?" Shah asked as he slipped over, his finger rubbing against the edge of one gently. "Or a pack rat?" He asked with a glance over to Krisha. A nice setting, all you really needed in a situation like this was a bed. But even that could be dubbed obsolete depending on the girl.
Shah stared at Krisha with a type of all knowing look in his eyes. He didn't hint at anything aside from that tiny hint. But even that was uncertain; what exactly was going on in that twisted brain of his?

Sylas didn't really know whose suitcase he was carrying, so he just carried it and followed after Kira. He wasn't sure what to do with it, so he set it outside of Krisha's room. "Here you go Krisha ma'am." he said with a smile, then scurried off with Kira into her room. He held back the cloth so she could go through, but he went through and checked it out first, as he held it.
"Oh wow. This seems like it'll be a fun place for you to live. The room is nice too. Here, let me help." he said, extending his arms to help her with the bag. It was heavy, he didn't know how she had carried it all the way by herself. Anywho, she did, and there they were, two in Kira's room, two in Krisha's.
Just to spike some conversation, Sylas asked Kira, "How do you like the new guy with your sister? He just seems like bad news to me. I just think he might be bad. I want you to be careful if you're around him okay?" Sylas certainly didn't mean to be controlling for any reason, if that even sounded controlling. He was just worried about her. Though, he knew that after he left, she would be fine with the two of them. After all, Krisha was there to protect her. But he already told Krisha that he would protect Kira no matter what. That was now his sworn duty.

"An enthusiast."
She replied to his taunt, for it was a taunt.
Even she, who had never been around any men but her brothers, knew enough to know that was a taunt.
Knew enough to know what else he was implying by the look in his eyes.
He wasn't like her brothers.
Her brothers were honorable, kind hearted, and even Jin, when he went after Serre, remained a gentleman.
This, was not a gentleman.
Krisha kept the metal fans near by, while removing her other items.
A long box came next, filled with the little trinkets that every woman had to have.
Perfume, a brush, toothbrush, and a few pieces of jewelry.
Even two of her dolls.
Her mind was already working out a design scheme.
It would be simple, but not to undetailed as to be an eyesore.
Restful, with dabs of energy in places high in color.
The woman gave the appearance of having forgot about the other in the room, but that was a lie.
She knew he was there, and that he was watching.
What she didn't know, and didn't want to know, was what he was thinking
_____________________________
"It does look fun...
We should decorate a small space first, because a bigger space won't be any use till we get older."
Kira, obviously stronger than she looked, sat down the bag and began to rummage through.
Inside, she found a book, a small box with some bottles in it, and some other, larger, bottles.
As she pondered over what they were for, the girl looked over at him.
"Oh, yes, he is, but don't worry, I'll bite his ankles if he gets out of line."
She gave an evil little grin at this.
She could be as bad as her sister, if not worse.
The girls eye spotted on a stick like thing protruding from the bag.
Picking it up, she was slightly alarmed to feel a tingle in her hand where it touched.
"Hey sylas, what's this?"
She asked, holding up the ornate wand for him to see.

Shah noted that the little vampire runt had dropped off one of the bags outside the door. If he wanted to get anything done he'd have to do it when the kids were gone. He had said he wouldn't touch them and he'd stay to that. Of course that didn't mean there weren't other ways to deal with them. Physical contact wasn't the only way to hit someone where it hurt, Shah knew that all too well. He'd see what made the little ones fume, more so the little guy then girl.
Krisha put up a pretty good act, appearing to not notice him in the room. Keeping to what she was doing and doing so flawlessly. Too bad Shah had seen girls do the same thing before her. He knew they had their guard up, way up. Most likely a weapon nearby, perhaps in her bag. Who knew? Shah wasn't going to make allow Krisha to use that fan, not now. Hopefully never. He remembered the first time he had come upon a woman like Krisha, there weren't too many like her and first encounters were always nasty. Barely got away with his family jewels but he still got what he wanted. Whether she wanted to give it up or not.
"How about this." Shah said sitting down on the bed and glancing over at the long box Krisha had withdrawn from her bag. He didn't pay much attention for what was inside, a simple glance told him there was no weapon there. He wondered what type of girl Krisha really was? A gal who had a fancy for slicing and dicing or was she more creative? Shah loved the creative ones, you never knew what you were going to get.
"You come and spend some time with me and I won't try anything else today. You could call it a date." Shah said, giving a type of one shoulder shrug. His hand open in front of him, an offer. A type of half smile, half smirk was on his face as well; that hint of something was still in his eye but so was self control. "One date, one day I go without pestering you. I can tell you know." Shah stared Krisha directly in the eyes, that smirk/smile still on his face.
"You know exactly what I want. Take the offer and I won't try anything. For today of course." He added the last part with a hint of a laugh in his throat. Was the hint in his eye a plan?

The woman sent a cold glare his way.
If looks could freeze, he'd be a bloody Popsicle right now.
She was almost tempted to grab his hand, pull him forward, and slam his head into her knee.
It would have been lovely, but a bit messy.
"Fine."
She said, with a half smile of her own.
The woman dropped down onto the ground by bending her knees, hands going down for balance.
One booted leg went out from under her as she went down in a half circle, catching him in the lower leg muscles with enough force to knock him flat.
Even a werewolf wouldn't have enough time to instinctively react to that.
Straightening back up, her long hair slightly wild now, the woman bent over at the waist.
Reaching down, she grabbed the hand that had previously been open in a firm grip before releasing it.
"I accept your offer."
Her reaction to his offer had been slightly done on impulse, pent up agression and such.
A lovely smile, one with no teeth exposed at all, was on her face now though.
It was odd, she didn't seem angry at all now.
In fact she felt pretty good.

That glare would have made Shah fidget if he wasn't so determined and positive she was going to take the offer. Upon her agreement Shah opened his mouth to say something in response but instead he paused as she dropped down. Bending her knees before spinning on one foot with her other leg out. She struck him hard in the lower leg, leaving him with very little time to stop himself. He landed hard on his with a thud but Shah didn't let this faze him.
She should have known better then to pull a scheme like that and then take his offered hand. He yanked her forward, shifting his position so his legs spun around and hit Krisha in the lower leg like she had done to him. She'd land on her knees and from there Shah bolted up right into a sitting position, tucking his legs underneath his body quickly. He lifted her arm over her head and twirled her in a circle, sliding her into his arms and against his chest. "Awesome, where would you like to go?" he asked with a smile as he held her there tightly.
Werewolves weren't so bad, the strength and speed could come in handy every once in a while.

"The meadow."
She answered calmly.
Krisha breathed in one large breath, and let it out after saying this.
Her taunt body relaxed slightly.
The girl sat there for a few second, waiting for his confidence to kick back in, his grip to loosen slightly at the fact that she had relaxed.
It was an old trick, mostly attributed to surrender.
Deception was a woman's greatest asset in some cases though.
When he eventually did relax, she pulled up one of her legs, feigning an attempt to get more comfortable.
Her legs held the best of her muscles, and could easily put out twice the force, if not more, than her arms.
Not to mention, she had a very hard head.
Krisha pushed up with her leg, pushing said head up into his jaw.
It might not hurt him that much, but it would jolt him.
This time, the woman sprang up, and put her head out the door.
"Kira, love, Shah and I are going out for a bit.
We'll be back in a bit.
If your friend wants t stay, he's more than welcome."
She let the curtain drop after that, and walked back to where she had been unpacking.
From the pile, she pulled out a small purse with some essentials and looped it over her shoulder before turning back to where he was.
"Ready to go?"

AS Shah felt Krisha relax he did the same, oh how wrong he was. "The meadow it is." He said and just as those words left his mouth he saw Krisha's head shoot back fast. The back of her head collided with his jaw, causing him to bite down on his tongue, thankfully it had been retreating back into his mouth so he hadn't bitten it hard enough to draw blood. "********!" He said as he moved his hand up over his mouth. Krisha, by now, had gotten up and called to Kira telling her and the little vampire runt that the two were heading out. Shah rubbed his chin and ran his tongue through his mouth. His tongue hurt more then his jaw, his eyes shot up to Krisha with a small glare but it was gone just as it appeared. "Yeah." He said, the word slightly slurred due to the pain in his tongue. He frowned slightly at that. Shah stood up and headed over to the door, he pulled back the curtain and smiled at krisha. "Ladies first." He said, that slurr no longer there. It hurt to talk but he'd be damned if he showed it. Not that she didn't know already. Krisha was a smart girl, Shah liked that.

Sylas looked at her and smiled, nodding in agreement with what she had said about decorating small spaces first. Then he began to chuckle when she stated the ankle-biting. He was happy to see her defend herself. He wasn't sure how well she could truly do it, considering the differences, but he knew that Krisha and himself had her back if anything were to happen.
He then looked around the room, thinking about where they would start. Of course, he knew that it wasn't his place what so ever. He then heard her voice. He turned around and looked, then he said, "I...do not know. It seems like a wand of some sort. What do you think it is? Maybe it's used for controlling something! Like my staff! It helps me control my water. Oh! Try it out!" He was excited to see what exactly it did. He had no idea what it was or how it worked.

Kira turned the wand around in her small hand.
it was delicately crafted, made of glass and what looked like mother of pearl in lays in dark wood.
What was odd though, was how it felt. Smooth, a bit like velvet, and...warm. Very warm.
"I...Don't know how.
How did Minty teach you?"
If he could tell her the lesson, maybe she could figure out how to use it.
The wand felt good in her hand, right.
Without sitting it down, she pulled out another small packet from the bag.
It contained a couple of shurikan, and a small clock pendant.
A letter was under the items.
To the newest little one,
May you find some comfort here.
I do hope your new home is fitting for you, but to keep it from being spartan
Keep these with you, and they might save your life at some point.
Study the clock, and save the vials.
When you sister comes back, it will be up to you to keep her well, and teach her to fly.
She won't be the same, but only Serre would remember how she was.
She's still your sister though.
Watch for your brothers, and don't let jin's head get to big.
Amos will come with Selene.
Introduce him to those you've met so far, and keep him from being a recluse. Lucian might even decide to show up.
Do not let him scare you if he does, he values Krisha and your lives more than his own by far.
If all things go well, I might even visit as well.
From your would be mother,
Sky
"Apparently I won't have to use my teeth on his ankles after all"
She said with a laugh, laying the letter down as she gestured to the metal stars.

Sylas looked at the wand. "Well, all she said, was say this...and then do that...make sure to think about what you're doing before you do it too. Oh, and she gave me my own special magic phrase that I have to say to make the spell come to life. And after that, I'm able to control water. But only after that. I don't know if you can take the spell though. I think she has to assign you it. Oh, is that a letter? What's it say?" he asked curiously. He didn't really know what exactly it was, or if it was something even he should ask. But he did anyways.
He looked at the other things inside the bag. He noticed some metal stars and the clock. He wondered what exactly her mother was getting at when she sent her these things. What exactly would she do with a clock and some stars? Well, that was hers, not his, even though he did like the way that the stars looked. He just turned to Kira and smiled.
