Chalda tried desperately not to burst out laughing at this turn of events. Obviously Ilusen was genuinely concerned and of course there was reason to be but that didn't keep it from being funny as well. "Maybe a little bath in the sink at home would get it off without harm?" she suggested. "Will they box up our cake for us?" She caught Seleece, who had zoomed straight towards Ilusen when she had noticed the opening, and slid her into a secure pocket in her purse where the little leaf squirmed.

"Oh yes of course! a bath.. i know i shouldnt worry, its only because im worried about this whole being a parent bussiness.." She shrugged and placed Dylan back inside her pocket carefully, laughing at his sister leaf zooming around the table. "I can tell we're going to have our hands full with her."
She called a waitress over and asked for the remainder of thier cakes to be boxed up , left 40 gold on the table and stepped outside into the chilling air, waiting for chalda to make her way out also.

Shivering Chalda stepped out into the cold and walked with Ilusen in the direction of home. Every once in awhile her purse started to vibrate as if it had a busy cell phone in it. Chalda just gently patted the purse "I will let you out as soon as we get home See. It's very windy out here and I don't want you to going flying away."
Chalda knew she had said the magic words. Seleece instantly stopped moving about. She had wanted to be out in the cold air but not if it was going to carry her high high up into the sky. She wasn't too fond of heights at all. Of course with the soul of a sea going creature this was probably to be expected.
Turning to Ilusen Chalda spoke "Don't worry about it too much. I'm sure these guys will be playing in the mud all the time. Think of this as early practise. I am so glad your place has a bath tub too."

Ilusen walked alongside her friend silently, smiling to herself when she heard her talking to Seleece, she knew she was dying to get out of chalda's pocket. Thankfully Dylan was being rather timid which was strange.. but Ilusen was glad of the peace from being annoyed.
They reached the top of her street and Ilusen smiled toward her friend "I know.. i know.. i just worry because obviously ive never done anything like this before." she bit her lip nervously then laughed "Im glad its got a tub too, i like nothing better than a relaxing soak" Ilusen slid the key into the lock of her front door and swung it open greatful for the gust of warm air that greeted her.

"Great for soaks and great for washing messy toddlers too!" Chalda smiled "I know you are nervous and I totally am too. But I think between the two of us it should go ok. Maybe we can visit that 'Eden Project' place soon! Find out exactly what we are getting into with these." Closing the door behind herself, Chalda took off her shoes and slipped a frustrated leaf back out of her purse. "So upstairs then?"

Ilusen took her shoes off also and threw them under the stairs, suddenly realising that she'll never find them again if she left them there she picked them up and placed them by the door. "Yeah, ill give Dylan a bath d'ya need any help with finishing unpacking after im done?" she asked, secretly hoping Chalda was finished, she wasnt all to keen on sorting stuff out now but wanted to be polite.

 Chalda laughed. "That's alright. Even with help it's going to take me a few days and if you help me then I won't know where anything is. It's probably best that I work on it myself." She looked down at Seleece "Would you like to take a bath with your brother?" The leaf recoiled in her hand shaking violently. "Oh... well I will take that as a no then."
Chalda laughed and headed up to her room. Looking at all the boxes that sat before her she let out a sigh. She closed the door to keep her little one contained and put Seleece down on the floor where she zoomed around bumping into boxes and walls.
After about an hour of unpacking Chalda was getting awfully bored. She flopped down on her bed again but this time she had actually managed to find her sheets and make it up. She pulled out her journal and made another entry.
Quote: Ilusen and I just went out to get some lunch at a cute little cafe not too far away. Durem is a strange city but I'm sure I will get used to it. Seleece seems to like it though. At the moment she seems to be playing tag with a few dust bunnies on the floor. How cute is that? Poor Ilusen is a bit stressed about this whole thing. I am too of course but I've been a babysitter for years and I am a bit older. Still, having a child is a huge responsibility and we have gotten into this so quickly. At the moment Ilusen is giving Dylan a bath to unstick a Skittle. I'm sure she is going to be a great mommy. She just cares so much. But now I should get back to work and then dinner and bed will finish off the day. So I guess it's good night then!

She decided maybe the bath tub was a little too large at the minute for such a small leaf, so she put the plug into the sink and ran the warm and cold taps, checking the temperature with her hand just in case it was too hot. She put Dylan up on the windowsill while she searched for a flannel of some sort, accidentaly knocking a bottle of her bath salt into the water "Oh damn!" she cursed under her breath "oh well.. im not wasting water dee, so your gonna have to have a salty bath.." she placed the leaf into the water and it seemed to almost glow with excitement as it hit the water. It floated around creating little waves along the surface of the water and Ilusen smiled "Guess you like salt then...?" she took a flannel and wet it then dabbed upon the skittle in hopes that it would peel off easily, and it did! She suddenly felt ten times better, but still racked with guilt for being so stupid in the first place "There we go little man, all gone" she leaf the leaf floating around in the salty water whilst she went into her room to get a towel.
Seeing her diary upon her bed she picked it up and hunted for a pen "Might aswell write down the events of today... maybe we can laugh about it later" Quote: Dear diary,
........Im so irresponsible sometimes, i wonder if ill ever make a good mommy. Im beinging to seriously doubt that i can. Poor Dylan went through and ordeal, i took Chalda out into durem city today to visit that cute little coffee shop i found a couple of weeks ago. Well i put Dee in my pocket to make sure that i didnt loose him, which seemed to me a sensible idea, but nooo there just had to be a melted skittle in there didnt there? confused Anyway, its all sorted now and the skittle has been removed, and Dylan seems to be enjoying himself in his salt water bath... maybe he's supposed to be some sort of sea creature? i guess ill not know until he decides to emerge will i?

"They are twins. That's why we need to of them." Tyyne explained to her brother as both of them pulled a little wagon along with them. "Same house ?" The anima asked and the Eden girl just nodded. "Yes. It's right over there." Pointing at the door Tyyne smiled. As an experienced deliverer she showed the younger one how to put the message, the flowerpots and two bags of soil down in front of the door. "That's it. Now we have to wait until they show up and can play with us." So the two children left again.A letter from Eden
Dear Chalda, dear Ilusen
I'm sending you a letter, because I think it's time for your two little ones to be potted. Usually it helps the Edens to grow into toddlers, because they can gather all of their strength when being in this state. I'm not quite sure if it's the same for twin leaves, but actually we don't have a choice but try.
I delivered two pots and two soilpacks, but if you wish, you can plant them together as well. I can't tell you how it will affect the growth though.
Feel free to visit us at the project's house.
Have a nice day
~Lena

Chalda dragged a bag of trash down the stairs to the front door. "I'm not sure why I even packed it just to throw it away..." she muttered to herself. Opening the door she almost tripped over the package that had been left there. Bending down she read the note that had been left.
"Ilusen!" She called back up the stairs. "There is something down here that I think you need to see."

Ilusen was dozing on her bed when she heard the front door open and chalda shouting up the stairs "uhh.. hold on a sec" she shouted back down as she rolled off the bed.. wait a second.. where was Dylan? "s**t!!" she cursed and ran into the bathroom, where he was still splashing around happily in the sink "Oh thank god, sorry dee.." She scooped him out of the water and carried him downstairs.
"What is it chalda?" she asked trying to peek around her standing in the doorway "Oh.. plant pots....? what are they for?" she shook her head confused.

Hearing the muffled swear and stomps Chalda giggled a little. "Don't worry, I checked in on Dylan when I walked by and he seems to be just fine in the water there. I'm not totally sure what these pots are all about but there is a note here from a 'Lena' that says we should plant the leaves in the pots..." She trailed off.
Getting a bit chilly she pulled her garbage back inside and closed the door. She slowly walked up the stairs to Ilusen with the two pots and the soil and note. She passed the note over to Ilusen to read. "Sounds like this will help them grow?"

Ilusen quickly skimmed the note and nodded "I guess it will.... so, you wanna do it? something exciting might happen." Ilusen took one of the pots off chalda and wandered downstairs "We can do it in the kitchen, so we dont get soil everywhere" she called back to Chalda.
Ilusen opened one of the drawers and took out an old newspaper laying a few sheets out on the table she placed the heavy pot onto it and waited for chalda.

"Sure that sounds like a good idea." She said as Ilusen headed to the kitchen. Chalda quickly fetched Seleece who Chalda had left safe in her cage of books on top of the vanity and then head down stairs.
"So I guess this is just like a normal plant? Pour in the soil and pop it in the pot? Or do you think it's like a seed and we should burry it completely? This not wasn't all that specific was it..." Chalda placed her pot on the new papered table next to Ilusen's.

"I havent got a clue..." Ilusen replied looking at the empty pot really quite confused. "I think maybe we leave a bit sticking out? they might not like the dark...." she emptied the bag of soil into the pot and patted it down slightly, of course she made a complete mess allready... most of the soil ending up on the floor and table instead of in the bloody pot "Oops.. ill clean that up later, so we just stick them in huh?"
