Alyosha looked across the room to where Fae was shouting. she musnt' have very good vision to have not seen him as he came into the centre but, then again, she wasn't a youkai, was she?
He waves a friendly greeting as he wandered towards her. "Good morning, Fae" he smiled, looking down at the small Aerandir wisp beside her. "And good morning Pueblo" he added to the grinning blue form. It was always a wonder to see a new wisp, a new Aerandir in the making.
"What can I do for you this morning?" he asked.

Her voice cut off as soon as she saw him enter, biting her lip and blushing a little. Hehe, oops, he was right there. She was used to him being in his apartments or something. Clearing her voice a little, she gave him a demure smile as she watched his eyes move over Pueblo. "Morning," she softly said.
Pueblo's ears twitched and swivled her head to look behind her. She blinked heavily and cocked her head as she stared at the violet colored man. Bet his favorite coloris purple! She grinned to herself, then did a small little bow as her name was struck.
"Actually, I was hoping you could help me," she trailed off, connecting the dots that he was walking to go somewhere. "Er, I obtained all of Pueblo's quest items," she said, holding up the vase and tapping her satchel.

Now he became distracted from his first task. He nodded a little to Fae, excited once again by the prospect of a new Aerandir joining them. "Well, why don't we go over ..." he looked around, trying to find one of the larger tables "there" he pointed to one which close to the large cupboard in the centre, on the 'left' hand side when coming through the centre doors. "we can maybe get her on her way to the next stage of her life"
He walked towards the table, waiting for Fae to follow.

Fae smiled, but inwardly, she would be jumping around like a child. Ohh, ohhh ooo! She'd get to witness his work! She felt like she was an appretence almost wishing for someday to help like Kiro was here for in the beginning. Grinning towards the ground, she pushed aside some stray strands of hair and adjusted her glasses as she aproched the table.
Fae placed the vase upon the table which created a small disturbance in the water and rippled, the little bog laurel bobbing slightly inside. She then placed her heavy satchel beside it and opened the flap. She took each item out and placed them upon the table as well, then replaced the satchel back over her shoulder and plucked the flower from the vase to lay beside the rest of the items. She knew that it would be delt with quickly.
Then, she took the paint brush which was Pueblo's bonding item from behind her ear and held it out. "Just remember sweetie, I'll be here at all times. You can trust Aly, you've been with him before," she nodded in reassurance and her voice shying from Aly. She then looked up to him in silence, waiting for his command.

Alyosha spread the items out evenly in what appeared to be a rough circles. He smiled slightly at Pueblo's worried face as he gently set her paintbrush in the centre of the pieces.
The seemed to gleam as one for a moment and then began moving towards Publo in the way stars move towards a black hole. The delicate flower, the small beads, all moved speedily towards the young, glowing form. As they did she began to take on a more solid shape. From her small, dextrous feet to her ear tips, the winding contents of the items given to Fae the whole of Pueblo was being bound.
Strangely, part of the table began to dissapear, too, as she was being created. Once whole it became very clear why a piece of the thick table now had a sliver missing from it, it had become a palette!

Fae's eyes widened as everything seemed to happen so quickly. Sheilding her eyes with her hand a bit as the final flash of light shone, she lowered her fingers and gazed down to a child who had found her way on the table, swinging her dangled legs. "Ab-by?" Her voice croaked and fell to her knees. There was great amount of love and pride carved into the girl's warm face as her hand extened forward. Gently, she smoothed her palm over Pueblo's cheek and once through her pig tails. Her hair was soft, mm. "H-hey," she cooed and grined to the little girl.
Pueblo looked somewhat tired, as if the whole process tired her out. Her emerald eyes blinked once or twice as she saw her mother approch and touch her. Wait, she felt the warmth of her hand.. That meant... Yess! What she found in both hands made her excited and smiled widely. She begun to wiggle her fingers, then wiggle her toes, then swish her tail and stretch her wings. There was just soo much to do being able to touch everything again!
"Abby...!" She laughed, wishing for her to sit still. She then stood back up while the child had fun figuring out different ways to move, she smiled kindly at Alyosha. "I can't thank you enough for how happy she's made me. I am truly gratful. I hope that after she's grown up a bit I could perhaps help around the place or even the different islands. I think what you do here is great and I've studied up on it very careful over and over." She straightened up, hoping for at least consideration. But she couldn't keep her eyes off her charge and was soon stopping the girl from painting all over the table.

Alyosha smiled as he saw the new Aerandir standing there happily, ready to get on with what her soul told her was her way in life. Painting!
He looked towards Fae as she spoke, smiling a little at her fervor. "All I ask is you encourage Pueblo to join as a community with the others, that is how we think they lived..." he paused a moment, thinking of how little they knew about the Aerandir, even now.
A large grumble from his stomach reminded him of his original task. "Fae, I should head off now, I just came this way to collect things for breakfast." he grinned as he looked over Pueblo again. "Make sure she doesn't try to fly, her wings won't be strong enough.. going from a free flying gryphon and wisp to a child must be hard but... it hopefully won't be long before she's flying again. He turned, heading towards the kitchen.

The smile slightly shrunk, but nodded anyway. "Then I'll definately meet up with some of the other owners so Pueblo can get in some interaction." But she also had some thank yous in order first, she mentally noted. Examining her pre-mature wings as they were mentoned, though they looked large enough, her body weight was probably still too heavy, and nodded. "Hear that, Pueblo? You wont be able to fly for a little, least that be the thing you need to concentrate on right now."
Ohh, was that last sentence a hint, though? As Alyosha excused himself, Fae waved after him. "Have a good breakfast," she called after, then looked back down to Pueblo who was busily trying to dip her paint brush into the small purple dot below her belly button. Fae grinned. "That isn't paint, honey," she said, now just realizing the purple freckles scattered around her skin. They were so pretty! "C'mon, let's make our way home," she offered her hand. "You can tuck your paint brush behind your ear for safe keeping."
Pueblo watched the human man leave and wiggled her heavy foot paws again, testing out her new joints in her legs and knees. Her tail swished some across the table when she heard her mother's voice and stared up with a distant gaze in her eyes. Her human mommy didn't seem so big anymore, though she was still pretty big.
As herhand came near hers to help with her paint brush, however, she raised her heavy arm and had help tucking the artifact behind her sensative ear which started flicking around until the brush was settle. Crossing her eyes to try and stare up at it, Pueblo realized how that hurt her head and stopped, then gripped her mother's hand. Ohh, that was new! She let go and gripped it again, then grinned, liking the conectivness to her mom. Now...how to get off the table.. She looked down and knew the answer, then begun to flutter her wings. But she was getting no where until Fae had scolded her again, and stopped.
"What did I just say? No. Flying. Your wings are too small. Here, I'll help you down," she offered, then wrapped her arms around the warm little girl. She easily picked her up, but already she could tell she weighed quite a bit. As she placed Pueblo's feet to the ground, she helped her stand up and walk around a bit. "Careful!" She grinned and trained the Aerandir on her new legs. It was like taking the training wheels off the bike. After the girl had gotten used to walking around on two legs, and using her wings and tail as a balance tool, they started to wobble back home happily.

The thick rubber soles of Inle's boots created a dull thud on the floor of the Center as she strode into it, clearly a woman on a mission. The Marli-wisp atop her head looked around as she floated "atop" her guardian, and nearly phased through the wall as Inle stopped abruptly. She quickly got her bearings back and watched avidly as Inle taped a note up. The Note Marli and I are looking for: A ball of twine 2 small seashells 2 large plain bangles Sand Water 4 beads A small piece of metal A thick band of cloth If you can provide any of these, feel free to drop them off at our cabin. Thanks in advance. "Fink id'll work?" the Marli-wisp asked. Inle sighed, turning to leave. "Here's hoping, kiddo." Marli and I no longer need the ball of twine or beads, thanks to their respective suppliers!

Kami slipped silently through the doors of the community center, peering about. No one else seemed to be around, or so she thought.In er hand she held a small bag, which held all of the items she and Keanu had recieved and collected.
Her little wisp darted in over her, squeaking softly. He looked over at the toy chest longingly, but wasn't even about to try, knowing it would only bring disappointment when his hands sunk through the items.
The girl crept toward the back of the main room, gazing at the three different entrances. "Hello?" she called out, and wondered how she would go about finding Alyosha. She didn't want to go barging into places she wasn't wanted. Turning to her right, she padded toward the hall tha lead towards Alyosha's apartment. Couldn't hurt to knock. "Come on, Kea..."
He hovered after her quickly, having been preoccupied with looking at one of the many pictures on the walls.
She headed down the corridor, and stopped at the door, lifting her hand and giving three strong knocks. She sighed shakily, and took a deep breath. She hadn't seen Alysha for a while, and felt a bit shy, hoping she wasn't bothering him at this time of day.

Alyosha looked up as three knocks resounded on the door. "Hmm" he said to himself, trying to pick up a scent or sound to let him know who this could be. No handy wind prevailing, he got to his feet and walked to the door, pulling it open to find Kami and her Aerandir, Keanu, a wisp.
He smiled a little, guessing the reason for their arrival and stod aside. "please, come in" he grinned.

Kami smiled nervously, and stepped in, Keanu following close behind. She bowed her head respectvely. "Thank you."
Keanu glanced about, tempted to explore, but knew they were here for a reaon. He kept close to Kami, and peered out at Alyosha from behind her, changing sides from time to time.
"Err..." Kami coughed, and blushed a bit, quickly holding up the bag. "I got all of the items for Keanu...I hope they're okay!" she said, smiling lightly, pushing her shyness aside.

Alyosha nodded slightly, moving into the room and closing the door over. He walked towards his low table and began to clear items from it, papers and books which he had been looking into.
He set them all in a small pile and then looked back towards Kami "Excuse the mess, I was doing a bit of research and got a tad enthusiastic." he sat behind the table and nodded to Kami as if indicating she should do the same. "Place the items out on the table" he smiled. "Any way you like for now. His bonded item too." He looked towards the small Aerandir wisp and gave him a little smile "Won't be long now, Keanu, not long and i'm sure you'll be preparing us all some fine feasts"

She chuckled as she took a seat next to him. "It's all good...now, let's see..." she carefully removed each item one by one, and set the mortar and pestle out last. She lay the teeth out in a row, and carefully moved the small beads closer to the mortar, so they wouldn't roll off the table. The button was set beside the teeth. The cord lay curled above the teeth. Last but not least, Lucius' feather, which she had pressed in the pages of a small address book to prevent it from getting beat up. She set it next to the beads. "There we go."
Keanu squeed softly, and weaved about in the air, looking excited.
((gar, sorry I'm lagging ><; keep getting interrupted. *glares at the phone, and the lack of people answering it instead of me*))

Alyosha smiled at the enthusiastic keeper. she'd come out of her shell a little since he had last met her, he thought. He was happy to see that.
Concentrating on the topic at hand he pushed, placed and prodded at the items until he had arranged them in a slightly triangul shape. This was a new formation and he had wanted to try it for a while, hoping it would work. The thick cord he used to link the small items together in one continuous loop.
As Keanu floated over it, he placed the mortar and pestle in the centre, waiting for the reaction he hoped would come. Things were always risky.
Slowly, very slowly, Keanu seemed to 'wobble', a full body movement which ended up at the tips of his ethereal hair. As it reached there it seemed to transmit back down, colour, mass and depth coming with it. It was as if flesh and form was building itself around the wisp form of the Aerandir, enclosing it.
Finally, after a few very long seeming minutes, Keanu had emerged as a child, ready to take on the world. As he did Alyosha let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and turned towards Kami, smiling.
