Rayen tilted her head to the side as if trying to figure out what was being said then gave up and listened to the translations. She looked down to where she was sure that Devika was at and scooped him up, "That is no way to make friends you know." She told him as she moved to where they were invited to sit.
She glanced over at Lenore then to Bellatrix, "Ahh. Yes water would be nice thank you." She said, then looked to Devika, "Come on. Make yourself visable. Its not good to hide thusly."
There was a long moment between her words and him actually listening to them. He returned to his right colors and was set back on his feet, "S-s-sorry." He murmured to his hosts.

Bellatrix nods. "Accepted," she tells the other Pae, before leaving to get the water, Snakey moving to wrap around her neck now.
Lenore sits down on one of the silk pillows. "When she gets back, I will make introductions," she says, smiling.
It isn't too long. Bellatrix returns with a crystal pitcher of water, and some crystal glasses on a silver tray. Lenore wonders, for a moment, how she can carry all that.
Bellatrix sets the tray on the table in the middle of the room, and starts to pour. She hands the first glass to Lenore, then Rayne, and lastly, Devika.
"My name Bellatrix," she says, as Snakey lifts his head to sniff at the air around the other Pae with it's tongue.

Rayne followed Lenore's example and took a seat, "Introductions sound nice." She said, smiling at her friend before turning to watch Devika who was looking as if he would be glad to fade away into the background if given the chance.
"Thank you." Rayne said as Bellatrix reappeared with the tray and was handed the goblet of water, "And it is nice to meet you Bellatrix."
Devika was glad to take the water goblet it gave him something to focus his attentions on. He looked down into it then up, squeaking a little as the snake flicked its tongue out at him. He blinked a couple of times, then tilted his head to the side. Was that a poisonous snake? Would it bite him?
Rayne looked at Devika for a moment then gave him a little nudge, "Ahhh... D-D-Devika is my... my name." He said to her quietly. He gave a sighing sound of relief after getting through giving his name.

Bellatrix studies Devika a moment. He might prove a useful pawn. . . seems to not have a backbone. . . . I wonder if I can influence him to do some things. . . . she thinks.
Nodding a little, she goes to sit with Lenore, taking her water with her. She sips it and watches the other two.
"How old Dev-Devy," sighing, frustrated, she hisses, "Devika? When was he born?"
"One moment, Bellatrix," Lenore says. "Devika's guardian's name is Rayne."
"Nice meet you too," she says, glancing at Rayne a moment, before she pokes Lenore.
Sighing again, Lenore says, "She asks how long you have had Devika."

"How long? Hmm. Not that long ago he came into the family and very recently he grew from his smaller form into this one." It didn't seem to have any effect upon him though, he was still the same as he had been as a baby, afraid of most everything.
Devika looked over at Bellatrix, a sort of sideways glance so that he could look at her without drawing her to the fact that he was. He didn't wish to make her angry with him, or make her set the snake on him. She made him curious though, another Pae like himself. How curious.

Bellatrix looks up at Lenore before looking at Rayne.
"I older, then," she says, nodding firmly. "When done with drink . . ." she pauses, searching for the words. She frowns again, and hisses, "Can Devika and I go outside and play? Leave you to grown up talks?"
Lenore raises an eyebrow, and looks over at Rayne. "She wants to know if Devika and her can go play when they are done with the drinks. She said you and I can stay and have grown up talks," she chuckles at the phrase.

The foxen couldn't help but giggle 'grown up talks huh?'
Rayne nodded, "How does that sound Devika? Go outside and play? I'm sure she can protect you she seems to be quite capable." She gave the blue Pae a smile and he looked up at Rayne then over to Bellatrix and nodded.
"That would be... it would be nice." He murmured quietly, go out to play? Really? Inside he was excited over the idea, he just had to get the rest of him settled on the idea especially the part of him that would rather cling to Rayne.

Bellatrix nods, and takes another drink of her water.
"Know games?" she asks Devika.
Lenore rolls her eyes again. "Rayne, do you want a tour of the rest of the cave?" she asks.

"F-Few." He said. He didn't play them, just saw them in the house that he lived in. Most of them being played with the new little one that had arrived there, "Umm... do you know any?" Maybe she would be more 'in the know' about games?
Rayne looked at Devika, he seemed fine so she got up to her feet, "Sounds like a good idea." She said to Lenore, it would give Devika and Bellatrix time alone to get to know each other.

Bellatrix shakes her head, waving absently at the adults that are leaving. "That why I asked you. Haven't left cave much." She explains.
She finishes her water, and sets the glass on one of the coasters. "You teach me game?" she asks.
Lenore takes one last look at the two, before closing the curtains behind her. "I like her study," she says, grinning. "Don't ask me why. But, I think we will start there," she starts to lead Rayne there.

Some Changes. . . . Bellatrix wakes with a splitting headache.
"Ow," she says, putting a hand to her head. "Snakey," she hisses.
Snakey wakes up with a hiss, and looks up at her.
"My head hurts," she hisses. "Can you check it for me, please?"
Snakey does something like a nod, and pushes himself up to inspect her head. He hisses a little, his tongue flicking out to smell the air. "Blooooooood," he responds. "Liiiiiiiittttle greeeeeeeen boooooooonesssssssss poooooooooookinnnnnnnnng ooooooooooout," he continues.
"Blood!" Trixie cries in a hiss, putting her hands up to her head. "And, what do you mean by 'bones?'"
If it were possible for Snakey to shrug, he probably would right now. "Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike oooooooooooon aaaaaaaaaaaa buuuuuuuuuuuull oooooooooor gooooooooooaaaat," he elaborates.
Bellatrix looks through her picture memory, remember some of the pictures she saw in her books. "Horns?" she asks.
Snakey does a little nod. "Hooooooooooornssssssssss," he agrees.
Trixie's tail swishes behind her, knocking some of the pillows she uses for her bed off of the pile. Her hands clamp over her skull, where the tips of the horns are peeking through. "Ow, ow, OW!" she says, closing her yellow eyes against the pain, and the tears burning there.
Snakey hisses, and bumps his nose against her cheek. When she ignores him, he wraps his long body around her waist, resting his head on her thigh.
A couple of hours later, Bellatrix is wiping the tears from her eyes. She reaches up to where her head still throbs dully. She feels the horns, and frowns. Carefully, as Snakey is still wrapped around her waist, she stands, and walks over to her vanity. She looks in the mirror and spots the green horns instantly.
At first, she is a little revolted, her tail swishing angrily behind her. But then, she sees how they catch the light, going sort of black when the light is not directly on them.
Snakey brings his head up, wrapping around her chest now, and looks at their reflections. "Theeeeeeey doooooooon't looooooook sssssssooooooo baaaaaaad," he comments.
"No, they don't," she admits, smiling a little. "I need a nap."
Snakey slithers off of her, and goes to coil up on a pillow. Bellatrix follows him, and is soon drifting off to sleep.

All the Pretty, Shiney Things! Lenore hums as she hikes, effortlessly, up to the cave that she helped Trixie set up. She could have just Apparated there, but she felt that she need to exercise.
Or, just burn all of her frustrated energy.
In her arms are a few packages. She can't help it. Everytime Lenore sees something that one of the children that she has adopted, or had, might like, she buys it.
It's not like she doesn't have the money. . . .
Shaking her head, Lenore taps on the rock of the entrance to Trixie's cave. "Bellatrix?" she calls in.
"Enter," she hears the Pae's voice call.
Shrugging, Lenore shifts the crystal-beaded curtains back with her tail, and steps through. "I have some things for you."
Bellatrix peaks from behind one of the curtains that parts all the rooms, and looks at Lenore with curious, yellow eyes.
"Well, come on, now," Lenore chuckles, and goes into the sitting room. She drops onto one of the silk pillows and deposits the packages on the low table. It isn't too long before Trixie walks through the slit in the drapes and enters the room. She sits on the cushion across from Lenore and looks at her, expectantly.
Lenore sighs, and gestures to the packages. "Open them," she says.
Shrugging, Trixie grabs the first one and opens the box. Inside are wing-rings. She quirks and eyebrow up and looks at Lenore.
"I can pierce your wings later," Lenore explains.
Trixie nods, and smiles slightly. She sets the box aside and opens the next one. Inside that one is a belly chain, with a cresent moon pendant, and a star pendant. Smiling wider, Trixie moves on to the other packages. Inside those are different clothes. All of them are dresses of the same shape and cut, but in different colors: Mostly silvers, blacks, grays, purple, and greens.
Trixie blinks, and looks over at Lenore. She reaches for Snakey, whom has slithered in the room as she was opening the last of the boxes. She pets the huge boa's head as he regards Lenore.
"Well, I thought you would like something to wear," Lenore says, tapping a talon on the table.
"They are nice," Trixie says, her english getting better.
"I am glad you like them," Lenore says. "Do you want to go try on one of the dresses?" Lenore asks.
Trixie nods, and grabs a black one, with a silver snake embroidered on the skirt. She is gone for a while, and Lenore busies herself with folding all of the dresses.
When Trixie comes back in, she has a grin on her face. "Thank you," she says.
"You are welcome," Lenore replies. "The chain looks good with the dress," she adds.
Trixie nods, and walks over to a pillow again. "Can pierce my wings now?" she asks.
"Of course," Lenore says, and walks over to sit behind Bellatrix.

Those Elbow Blades are MINE! Lenore and Nyoka walk (or, in Nyoka's case, slithers), with Bellatrix in between them, down the crowded streets of Durem.
Much to Trixie's displeasure, both are holding her hands. "I don't need the both of you holding onto me like I am some pet," she says, for the hundredth time.
Nyoka chuckles at Lenore's annoyance, and the struggle it takes her mum to hold it back. "For the last time, Trixie," Bellatrix scowls at teh shortening of her name, "The streets are crowded, and I am not going to risk you running off on your own, or being taken."
Bellatrix grumbles, and watches the people walking by, and peeks into the windows.
She stops abruptly outside of a weapons shop. Something catches her eye. "What are those?" she points at the items.
Nyoka turns, and raises an eyebrow. "Elbow blades," she replies.
"I want those," Bellatrix says. "Lenore, buy me those."
"You are too young to be carrying around weapons, Bellatrix," Lenore says, starting to walk away.
Bellatrix digs her feet into the pavement. "No! I have to have those! I won't ask for anything else while we are out, but I have to have those!"
Nyoka quirks an eyebrow, and moves her eyes to her mum's. "You bought me a bow at her age. . . ."
"Yes, and look what you did with it," Lenore grumbles.
"She lives on an island, alone. She needs some sort of protection. . . ." Nyoka points out.
Lenore looks down at Bellatrix, studying her face. She looks up at Nyoka, and when she just nods, Lenore sighs. "Fine!" she says, starting toward the weapon shop.
A half hour later, a smug Trixie is walking out of the store, her tail swishing behind her, happily, as she clutches her packaged elbow blades close to her chest.
"Thank you, Lenore" she says, as an afterthought.
Lenore rolls her eyes, and says nothing, as Nyoka chuckles and shakes her head.

Trixie lies back on her bed of pillows, petting Snakey's scaled head, which is resting on her stomach. "Snakey, what did you think of Signis?"
Snakey moves his head to look at Bellatrix. "Heeeee sssssssssseeeeemsssssssssss sssssssssssssssssaad. Buuuuuuuuuuttttttttt hiiiiiiiiiiiiiidessssssssss iiiiiiiiiit weeeeeeeeellllllllllllll. Peeeeeeeeeeeenttt uuuuuuuuup aaaaaaaaannngggeeeeer."
"Yeah, but not well enough, perhaps?" she sighs. "He's nice, though?"
"Isssssssssss thaaaaaaaaaaattt baaaaaaaaaaaad?" Snakey asks.
Bellatrix shrugs. "I don't know. Nice, all of the time, is bad. Nice to further your goals, that is good. Manners are a good thing, apparently. They get you places, anyway."
"Doooooooo nooooooootttt woooooooooooorryyyyyyy ssssssssssssssssssoo muuuuuuuch," Snakey advises. "Iiiiiiitttt'ssssssssss nooooooooooottt yoooooooourr proooooooooooobleeeeeeeeeeemm."
Bellatrix quirks and eyebrow, and moves her eyes from the ceiling to Snakey. "You're right, of course. But, think about how it would help . . . ."
"Yoooooooou, oooooooor hiiiiiiiiiim?"
Trixie shrugs again. "I like him."
"Iiiiii sssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeee," Snakey would chuckle at this if he were capable.
Trixie narrows her eyes at Snakey. "I am not going soft, so don't you dare even imply it," she says.
"Iiiiii diiiiiiiiiiiidn'tttt," Snakey says, turning his eyes from Bellatrix, and resting his head back in it's original spot on her stomach.
After a long moment of silence, Trixie asks, "What is that . . . love that he spoke of?"
Snakey would shrug here, but, again, he is incapable of it. "Iiiiiiiiiiiii dooooooooooooonn'tt knoooooooooww, Beeeeeeeeellaatrixxxxxx. Beeeeeeeeeeeetttteeeeeeeeeeeer toooooooooooooo aaassssssssssssssk Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnoooooooooooooore," he replies.
"It sounds aweful," Bellatrix shudders, and resumes petting Snakey, holding in a yawn.
"Reeeeessssssssssssssstt. Tooooooooooooooomorrrrrrrooooooow, weeeeeeeeee loooooooooooooooooook fooooooooooor moooooooooooooorrre ssssssssssssssssssnaaaaaaaaakesssssssssss," he reminds her.
"Yeah. Wake me when the sun goes down. . . ." with a yawn, Bellatrix turns and curls around Snakey, pulling her silk sheet over here, before drifting off.
