Voltaire just idly played with Annjette's hair a moment saying nothing in the matter before speaking up, "Emelyn does make a point. Delusion and Darkness would be dangerous to put together and create chaos and not just tainting."
He glanced at Irina before adding, "Not that I am suggesting that our little ones could never meet, but it is wiser to keep our wagons apart. I do hope to meet you and your little one more formally sooner or later."
Annjette seemed unaware or seemed to just genuinely not care at all. She just stared down at her flippers and wiggled them a bit while just seeming altogether aloof and disinterested as most little swans like to do when trying to keep their dignity intact.
Voltaire braided a bit of Annjette's hair before adding, "Other than agreeing to Emelyn -- I am afraid I can't offer anything more helpful, nor insightful. Except to add that we need to be careful and not to surround the flame in air as it can snuff it as well as feed it, or possibily even spread it with a rather unintended and chaotic result."

Heather had watched as the new child appeared and she had never seen Amkia glow so brightly on her lap. He was cheering and really seemed happy, she hadn't seen him like this before.
She listened to the conversation and added her own bit, " Leatherbound & Ivy-Twined could go just before my caravan or after, I think it would fit well with the light. Or maybe behind my caravan, it just seems that sound and light could go together, it clicks in my mind anyway." She seemed slightly worried and her voice was shakey but the way Amkia had reacted to the child and the sound, it just made sense to her.
She thought about the other caravans, it made sense somehow that Fire had to be put between something that would tame it, though the only place she could think of putting it, air was presence as well and thatcould feed fire. "Maybe, Windwheels could go between The Singing Bird and the Mudrunner, I think it would fit in ok there..." She wasn't sure where the others could go she went silent and played with Amkia on her lap who was still chuckling and glowing bright.

DeArca thought a little about how this whole procdure would work and he smiled. "Maybe my wagon, Forest Spirit, could follow that one called Mountain Air. Mountain and Forest kind of mixes together in a sense..." He suggested, wondering what their response would be.

With an element like Delusion, Irina agreed wholeheartedly that Ravenwood should be placed away from Voltaire and Annjette's wagon.
"I agree with you," she said to Voltaire, nodding. "I would love to meet you and your family sometime as well, but it probably would be best to keep our wagons separate. After all, we don't need chaos within the caravan. A balance is really best," she said with a smile.

"Varekai and Mountain Air are two earth wagons next to one another--a wagon placed between us would be grounded," offers Caroline, idly tapping her tambourine against her leg. She'd gotten over her shock at the growth of Vanna and now smiles at Lorelei and the new gypsy infant.
Rojiza, who had never really experienced a growth like that before, except watching DeArca's tree grow into the little rat. She's amazed at how vivid and beautiful Vanna is. She looks at her own appearance--all brown and green. She feels comfortable in her earthy colours--they're cool and fit like a second skin--but still she feels that she, even as an older child, cannot compare in beauty to the lovely, musical babe. She tries to shrug it off and smile--she really is happy for Lorelei and Vanna.

Wagon Order::
1.WhistleStick- Fire
2. Blessed Change- Earth
3. Spotted Sage
4. Daggerheld- Earth
5. PhoenixSong- Fire
6. Narkri Chooma- Earth
7. Varekai- Air/Earth
8. Mountain Air- Earth
9. Clair d' Lune- Air/Darkness
10. Rusting Canvas- Earth
11. Weathered Melody- Air
12. Ravenwood- Delusion
13. The Singing Bird- Wood
14. The Mudrunner- Earth
15. Wind Wheels - Fire
16. Leatherbound & Ivy-Twined- Sound
17. A Light in the Dark- Light
18. Daityrvyn- Wood
19. Forest Spirit- Wood
20. Rhythmique- Water
Oqaia listened to all. After they had put their input, she looked to her parchment list, and thought aloud.
"True... the two wood elements is a good fit together, Gwynna. This way, there is a heavy balance of wood to match the heavy earth at the front of the caravan. I hope you don't mind, DeArca. You and Caroline may still end up together during the next wagon ordering. And Emelyn, good point- I wouldn't want delusion to be near to darkness. I think a good way to ground it- without completely ruining its power by overpowering it- is to put it between an air and an earth. That way, it will be trapped between two very different elements- so as not to harm... but also not stifled.
Good point, Voltaire. The flame can't be around air as well as wood or water. And Caroline- it can't go next to Varekai. Remember, there is an air element as well as earth there. I think our best recourse is to put it behind the Mudrunner- sound and earth won't ground it terribly, but at least it will have nothing to consume. We don't know the element of the Spotted Sage yet, or I would allow it residence there."
She moved on to Heather's input. "I think Leatherbound & Ivy-Twined will work wonderfully before your wagon. Sound and light seem perfect together. So...I think that's all of them. Does anyone have a problem with the lineup?

Heather just smiled, happy to have had some input that made sense. She then put Amkia on the ground so he could do some crawling towards the others, he had seemed eager to met some others and sitting on Heathers lap wasn't always fun, she had noticed this.
As she watched Amkia she listened to what was said and smiled, "It all sounds good to me!" There would be people around her caravan for Amkia to play with and it all seemed good.
Amkia cralwed forward towards the fire where he sat and clapped his hands while watching the sparks. He chuckled a couple of times before he crawled around to Oqaia before pulling at her garments. He was chuckling and still glowing brightly, he was definatly happy but he just wanted some attention from someone other then Heather.

Lorelei smiled, sitting now with Vanna curled up on her lap. The transformation had made her sleepy, and the little girl seemed ready to turn in for the night.
"That sounds wonderful! And being close to new people will help me meet all of you more formally."

DeArca nodded with a satisfaction with the decision and he walked over to his wagon. "Sounds like an excellent plan. I want Ash to be near his own kind now that he has one. Thank you..." He said, walking into his wagon to set up Ash's new home within. "I'll make you a small cage pen with an open roof. You can climb out when you wish as long as you don't crawl off the counter. I wouldn't want to squish you!" He joked.
Ash just squeaked, peeking out of DeArca's satchel and then scurried out, his little clws digging into his clothes as he climbed, burying into the shoulder to get a place to rest on.

"Aye, I'd forgotten about the air element in Varekai," murmurs Caroline, setting her tambourine aside. She thinks over what Oqaia says about the new order and tries to envision it. She then nods satisfiedly, thinking it a good, strong order.

"Sounds like an excellent ordering to me," Irina said, nodding her head. "I'm looking forward to meeting my new neighbors." She smiled at fire-lit faces, looking around the circle. "Again, thank you all for allowing me to join in your family."

Mairssa listened on and smiled, nodding. "Looks wonderful," she murmured.

Voltaire smiled at Irina and nodded, "It is an honor and a pleasure to have you all join us. That is how I feel anyways."
He slowly stood up nodding at Oq, "Glad to have offered assistance of course." Everyone seemed to be leaving he watched as he held Annjette in his arms. The swan-girl was draped on him and was now snoozing having been lulled to sleep by the voices surrounding her during the conversation of ordering.
