Ieyasu approached the centre, a slender bamboo staff propped over his shoulder. In one hand he had a small piece of paper, which he'd written on a little earlier. The centre would be the best place to put it, really. Stopping at the door, he moved to push it open. Osu whirled around happily, following after Ieyasu. As Ieyasu stopped to open the door, he stuck out a hand, watching curiously as the sunlight streamed through him. Hey, that was kinda cool. Glancing around after a few moments, he noticed that Ieyasu was heading into the centre. Hey, wait up! Rushing after his guardian, he clipped the centre door as it closed. Not that it mattered - he went right through it anyway. Whooshing past Ieyasu's ear, he spun around to a stop in front of him, giggling playfully."Right, where are we going to put this?" Ieyasu said to Osu, moving into the circular main room. The wisp paused for a moment, seeming to consider. Then, he spun around and darted to one side of the room. Ieyasu grinned. Ok, that was as good a spot as any. Moving over to the wisp, he pinned up the note. The note Osusuki and I are looking for a few items (listed below). If anyone is able and willing to help us find them, we would be very grateful. We can usually be found at our house, or around the village. Any help that anyone can give would be appreciated greatly. Thanks again, Ieyasu The list: 1 long length of twine1 piece of rope 1 length of thin leather1 piece of metal1 long, straight twig1 piece of fur1 small piece of bone2 feathers1 small piece of ribbon Ieyasu stepped back after fixing the note. Turning to Osu, he grinned. "Here's hoping."

Closing his room door behind him, Kiro was taking Tsu and Pueblo for some food. While Tsukai seemed perfectly content with seeds, he wasn't really sure what Pueblo was going to eat. He figured he'd root around and sort that on the spot.
Holding Pueblo's hand, and with Tsukai nestled in at his neck, Kiro must've looked quite the sight as he emerged from the top of the corridor. He paused as he spotted Ieyasu, for a moment looking shy and indecisive, before then smiling.
"Hey, Ieyasu," he said, remembering the guardian's name from the last time they'd met. He then caught sight of Osusuki, and tilted his head curiously, but chose not to comment.

Glad to be out and about again, Sy half walked and half skipped into the centre merrily. It being the first day she was really out seeing healthy, "normal" people again as well as sunshine, she had decided to dress up in a white sun dress that had a large, dark blue ribbon around the waist.
Her happiness was teetering somewhere between obnoxious and infectious.
"Good morning!" She waved to the two men and rushed over, giving them both hugs before skipping over to Orian's door. She was like a whirlwind. x_x

There was a loud "Kee-Aaa" from orians door, along with an "okay, okay, i'll open it. Orian opened it just as Sy got to the door, giving a smile, and looking down. "Seems you where right Princess. Why don't you say hello to Mommy?"

Spotting the new arrivals in the room, Osusuki swooped over to them, flitting about excitedly. It had been a while since he had seen Kiro. He remembered him from the hot springs! And then there was the child with him. Lowering himself down, he waved to the Aerandir, grinning happily. More people was always a good thing!
As Osusuki took off, Ieyasu turned around. What had the wisp seen? As he spotted the trio, he grinned to them. "Hey." He knew Kiro, of course. And he remembered the little tiny gryphon from the last time they had met. The older Aerandir with him, he hadn't seen before. Although, she looked oddly familiar. He recognised her features from somewhere. The kitsune looked almost thoughtful for a moment, before he grinned warmly.
"How's it going? You seem to have more company every time I see you."
As he finished speaking, he noticed Syrenrei enter the centre. Now, there was a face he hadn't seen for a while. He was about to say something to her too, but before he knew it, she had rushed to him, given him a hug and then left up the corridor. Eh.. ok.. that was sort of... random. Turning, he gazed after her. She really was an odd, odd woman.

Kiro opened his mouth to answer Ieyasu, grinning as Osu started whirling around them, before he too was taken by surprise by the speedy Sy. He gasped a little as he hug was a little... enthusiastic... before watching her zoom up the corridor he had just come down. Pueblo turned to look after her as well, and Tsukai indignantly peeped before deciding to make a game of jumping at Osu, fluttering a little, and coming back to land somewhere on Kiro before repeating the procedure.
"Uhh... bye Sy..." murmured Kiro, before turning back to Ieyasu. And indicating Pueblo, trying to explain his growing company. "I'm babysitting for Fae... she had to go to the mainland in a hurry."
Pueblo then watched Osu as he lowered down. Someone else who was wispy like she'd been! Giggling a little she reached towards Osu, trying to wave her hands about inside him in a kind of tickling motion.

"Hey there, princess, how are..." She didn't get to finish her sentence. As soon as Delta had spotted her mother she had backed up and then done a running jump onto her, flying hooves and piddly wings beating. This was rather uncharacterisitic of her, so Syrenrei was so surprised she barely caught her daughter in time, so started some shrill screeches so as if to punish her mother for being gone so long and welcome her home at the same time.
sweatdrop "I hope she wasn't too much trouble? I'm so sorry I was inconvenienced! Sydney told me it would be best to leave Delta with someone else... and she seemed to trust you as much as I did with our little girl here."

Chuckling, Orian just shook his head. "Nah, she was a little angel for me. Give her some fish and a couple of storys a day, and plenty of attention and she's good as gold. Twasn't a problem at all. I hope your feeling better?"

sweatdrop Oh dear. She had hoped that her sister had told a little white lie such as that Syrenrei had to visit a sick friend, had a major assignment... something that wouldn't cause any worry or questions about her health. After being poked and prodded for ten days with many, many inquiries as to how she was feeling, this was the last thing she wanted. She wasn't mad at Orian, just at her sister whose a** she would kick later.
"Oh, it was nothing, really." She really was a terrible liar, but she hoped that Orian wouldn't notice. "I worried that she might throw a fit or something while I was gone. I'm glad to know she didn't bother you too much."
Delta huffed and gave her mother a rather indignant look. Like he could be bothered with the prescence of not just Aerandir, but Lady Delta herself! What better way could he spend his time?

"Ah, I see. So this is Pueblo? I was wondering - I thought I recognised her." Ieyasu grinned, watching the Aerandir play.
Osu giggled at Tsukai, holding his hands out as the tiny gryphon jumped at him. Of course, Tsukai fell right through him. So, he couldn't touch living things either. It was sort of odd having somebody jump through you. Reaching out, he poked ineffectually at Tsukai in return.
Then, he noticed Pueblo. She was waving her hands about him as well. Giggling he spun around the child, flailing back at her playfully. Even if he couldn't actually touch either Tsukai or Pueblo, this was fun!

Orian chuckled, rubbing Delta's head. "No, she was no bother at all. It was a pleasure to watch after her for you. Feel free to look me up anytime you need some help." He smiled again, leaning against the door frame.

Kiro also smiled as he watched the Aerandir play, amazed at how different the wisp forms looked from the gryphon forms. He then glanced to Ieyasu. "So, are you on a hunt as well? I remember Fae had to find things to finish Bobo's transformation..."
Tsukai was having great fun jumping at Osu! This had to be the most active Aerandir he'd been around - it was just annoying! Osu seemed to be just that little bit to quick for him, he never seemed to manage to jump at him!! That was pretty annoying!!
Then as Osu's attention diverted to Pueblo, Tsu jumped back on Kiro's head, watching them. He wanted to play too!! Kiro should tell them to come play with him!! In his excitement, and an attempt to gain Kiro's attention, the gryphon nipped hard at one of the neko-jin's white ears, yanking at it hard. As Kiro yelped, the mousey creature figured that might've been... bad, and with a peep he hopped away with a flutter and a beakful of fur.
Wincing, Kiro rubbed at the slightly balder patch on his ear as he turned to look for the offender who'd quickly disappeared. "Oww... Tsu...?" A pause as he glanced about. "Where'd he get to...?"
At the 'disturbance', Pueblo looked up too. "Hidey-seek?!"
Smiling, his face still slightly pained, Kiro nodded. "Yeah... Go find him for me, okay?"
Gleefully, Osu suddenly forgotten, Pueblo rushed off to start looking!

"Oh, thank you! I hope I won't have to be going away anytime soon, though. Besides, I think Delta'd have my head if I did, eh?" Delta fluffed her feathers and nodded in agreement. Indeed, if her mother went away anytime soon, she'd have to muss her hair beyond combing!
"I left Sydney home to start dinner, but I better get back before she burns down the whole house. I got some clothes for you, though, as a thank you. I know it's a lot harder for you to go shopping than me. And if they aren't the right size, let me know, okay?" She pulled a tiny bag out of her pouch and then opened it, pulling out some jean shorts, swim trunks, and a loose short-sleeved button up shirt in some virbant shades of blue as well as a white undershirt.

Smiling, Orian gave a little bow. "Thank you M'lady. It's too kind of you. It was an honor to watch Delta for you." He gently takes the clothes, holding them under one arm, leaning forward to kiss Sy on the cheek. "You better get home before your sister burns down the house as you said. I'm sure you have better things to do then stand around and chat with me." He makes a wry little face, grinning from ear to ear.

The kiss on the cheek makes a faint blush rise on Sy's cheeks and spreads slowly from ear to ear. She lets out a slightly high-pitched giggle before she turns and jogs out of the place, Delta under her arm. Despite Delta's protest at the disgraceful placement of herself, she isn't moved until they are back home where Sy is safe from embarassment.
