Skye looked up at Kara. "See Mommy?" she asked eagerly, her voice hitching a bit, her eyes still dull. "In my defense," Elnara murmured, smiling softly, "I had no idea she would ever go into Kara's room. It was always quite clear that the children are not allowed in there." She led the way up the stairs. Celebor darted past them, going up the stairs so quickly he had to use his hands as well. "I'm gonna beatcha to the top!" he giggled as he disappeared up the second flight of stairs.

Kara blushed a bit as she petted Skye on the back, "Not yet sweetie, but I'm sure your Mommy is around here somewhere."
Probably worried like mad, Kara thoughted a bit worriedly as she showed Serenity down the steps, "We were on the fourth floor, is there's still a few more steps," she explained.

Donovan followed though he left the bag sitting at the top of the stairs on the fourth floor, there wasn't a point since they were going to go into the room he and Kara shared anyhow.

Serenity nodded and followed behind Kara. Her ear twitched a bit as she heard a child's voice taunting someone: I'm gonna beatcha to the top!
"Who is that?" she asked Kara curiously, meaning the voice.

Lore smiled, "I'm not running up after you," he called after Celebor, "Besides, I wouldn't win."
Which was true since his robes would hamper him up stairs a great deal, he had to hold a bit of them to make sure he wasn't going to step on them and fall. That would be bad.

Celebor giggled at Lore's words, but he didn't slow down at all; rather, he increased his speed and ended up going so quickly he was tripping over his hands.
"Oof!" he giggled, hitting his chin once on one of the steps. He turned the corner of the third flight of stairs and stopped short, seeing the others coming down. He saw Donovan and Kara and someone he didn't know but who looked a lot like his Mommy, but he didn't pay any attention to them: he only paid attention to Skye, the object of their search.
"MOMMY! I FOUND SKYE!" he hollered back down the stairs. "GRAMMA GOTS HER! COME ON!"Still on the second flight of stairs, Elnara smiled with relief. "Thank the Valar," she breathed, and gave Lore's hand an unconscious squeeze. Skye spotted Celebor and sprang to life: her wings started fluttering excitedly, and she clapped her hands and pointed down at him, looking up at Kara. "Gamma! Ce'bor! Ce'bor, Gamma!" she said happily.

"Not so loud," Kara laughed a bit, "Celebor, I'm sure your mother can hear quite fine."
Besides anyone else with sensitive hearing might go deaf, she mused thoughtfully, "And that," she finally replied as she nodded at Skye, "Would be Celebor."

Donovan smirked at that, he found it a bit amusing Celebor's antics. The kid hadn't changed that much at times, thought thankfully less demanding in his sugar intake.

Lore squeezed back to let her know that he was still there with her, not just physically but his attention was with her. He peered up as they got closer to Celebor and he blinked.
There, standing at the top of the third floor was an angel woman, a human man, Skye and an elven woman who looked a startlingly a lot like Elnara herself.

Elnara's eyes were drawn first to Skye, but she noticed an extra shadow on the stairs as well, and she blinked for a moment as if she couldn't believe her eyes. "Mother?" she breathed, completely shocked. Then she let go of Lore's hand and ran up the remainder of the steps, slipping past Kara and throwing her arms around her mother's neck. Tears slipped from her eyes, but they were tears of joy. Her voice had disappeared on her. Skye had her hands put out to Elnara and was quite miffed with Elnara passed her by to go see her Nako. She pouted, and her wings slowed their fluttering. "Mommy!" she complained, reaching her hands out again. Celebor stood against one wall, completely confused. Why would Elnara go see the other lady instead of Skye, who she had been looking for so desperately?Skye gave up trying to catch Elnara's attention and turned and looked down the stairs again - where she saw her other favourite person. "Lore! Lore!" she giggled, her wings fluttering happily once again. She reached out her hands to him. "Want Lore!"

Serenity hugged Elnara close.
"Surprise," she laughed. "Osh, you have no idea how good it is to see you ..."
She looked over Elnara's shoulder and laughed at Skye's reaction and her complaint. "That must be Lore, then," she smiled. "I've heard a bit about him ..."
She lifted one hand from Elnara's back and waved at Lore.

Lore gave a nervous nodding bow to Serenity, even though they had talked about meeting her, he hadn't expected to meet her now. He had enough trouble wrapping around his head that he was meeting her adopted family. He followed Elnara up the stairs slowly until he stood in front of Kara.
He held out his arms sheepishly, "If you don't mind," he told Kara.

Donovan hid his smirk, well, this was an interesting development, though he couldn't say anything. Afterall Elnara, he knew was overprotective of Lore, but that was fine. It looked like the kids liked him... very well indeed.

Kara giggled as she handed Skye to Lore, "Why would I mind? Skye is pretty much demanding to be held by you."
Which was so sweet, kind of reminded her when Azaela started to look for Donovan as her daddy.

Elnara gave her mother a final squeeze before letting go. She had questions for her - but they could wait. First, she had some introductions to do ... "Celebor," she called, turning around to face him, "go find your sister, bring her here, okay? Quickly now, go!" Celebor nodded and turned and ran down the stairs - he knew Serenity would be sitting in the sunroom, looking through one of her books from the library - and hollered, "S'REN'TY! THERE'S A LADY HERE THAT LOOKS LIKE MOMMY! COME SEE!"Elnara laughed. Skye went to Lore eagerly and threw her arms around his neck, squeezing him as hard as she could. "Lore!" she giggled happily. "Skye miss Lore!"
She released some of the pressure and put her head on his shoulder. "Mommy miss Nako," she nodded seriously. She hadn't missed how her mommy had hugged her nako just the same way as she had hugged Lore. She looked up at Lore.
"Lore miss Nako, too?" she asked curiously.
