After they hd returned from their errands, Kiro had decided that they'd probably keep up that routine they had adopted recently. This essentially involved sitting in the main area of the Centre and effectively pouncing anyone who came in. And while Tsu was enduring his wispiness, there was still the matter of that data gathering. So, when Osu charged into the Centre, he was met by a visibly startled Kiro and a Tsukai that promptly skittered out of sight. Kiro could've sworn he'd heard a quiet murmur of upset from the fleeing Aerandir, who hid behind the neko-jin's chair.
"Wow, Osu!" he exclaimed, suddenly recognising the child with a grin. "Hi!" He then greeted Ieyasu with another greeting and a slightly softer tone.

Sy dashed in with her arm full of... stuff. A blanket with beading on it, some small beas, two square gems, a golden tassel, a tiny ring, and a tiny silver chain. Her intangible daughter was behind, trying to keep up with her scarily excited mother. You would think a wisp would be the faster one.
Either way, Syrenrei all but completely ignored the two men present (and most likely understandably so considering her overwhelming excitement) and dashed to Aly's door where she knocked. And knocked. Actually, she didn't intend to stop knocking until he actually answered the door.

Alyosha stormed to the door, a grimace on his face. He'd been up late. working, and was not to hapy about this sudden, and somewhat constant, disturbance. His head pounded with each knock. He had taken the time only to throw on a loose dressing gown before rampaging door-wards. Pulling the door open he tried his best to bite back the "WHAT!?" he felt like shouting..
"oh.. Sy.." he took a deep breath, counted to ten, looked at the cheerful look on her face and the poor, somewhat dragged looking wispy Delta. "Ahh" he said quietly.

As if she sensed Aly's anger, she pointed to her mother as if silently saying "Her fault, she did it!" Actually, she had an idea she might be growing, but she was trying to keep from getting her hopes up. After all, this wispiness could be a curse they put on beautiful people forever. Evil witches and stuff did that all the time. The world conspired against the beautiful.
Sy was completely and utterly oblivious. She was happy to see Alyosha, and somewhat distracted by how nice he looked disheveled, but tried to keep her mind straight. "I have everything, I have it all! Can she grow now?" She bounced a little in place, her face flushed like a little kid on Christmas.

Alyosha sighed a little and stood back, motioning her into his apartments. He looked at Delta and smiled a little, realising the little princess was going to even more ... interesting when she had a proper mouth on her.
Now there was a thought...
"Come in, come in..." he said, sounding slightly harried.

Osu seemed oblivious to the fact that he had just scared Tsu. There were people here! With a wide grin, he approached Kiro and Tsu. "Hiya!" he exclaimed, before wondered who the wispy thing was. He recognised Kiro from before, of course. Dropping to his hands and knees, he crawled behind the chair. Was the wispy see-through thing playing hide and seek!? He hoped so!
Ieyasu gave Kiro a grin as he noticed the neko-jin in the centre. "Hey there. Sorry about the kinda loud entrance from trouble over there. He didn't disturb you, did he?"
At that point, Sy rushed past them. Ieyasu turned to look, a little surprised. He hadn;t noticed her come up the path behind them.. Seeing that she was in a rush, he let it drop. Not that he would have had time to fit any words in anyway.

Delta was watching Alyosha as if she expected him to explode or something. He was acting awfully weird... maybe this was all some strange trick he was drawing them into. Aly WAS after her mum... maybe he practiced dark magic and was feeling bad he was about to do something evil!
Okay, probably not, but it still amused her.
Sy more or less skipped in, the items in her hand shifting around with each bouncy step. It felt good to be back in Alyosha's apartment... somehow it felt... safe. Even if it was in dire need of a good dusting. >_o

Alyosha set about carefully taking his things from the low table in the main room and setting them to one side. He pulled up a few pillows and sat down one one, rubbing his still-bleary eyes.
"Why don't you place all of the items here on the table and we'll see what we can do?" he said to Sy, half-yawning.

Kiro opened his mouth to reply to Ieyasu, before pausing just he did when Sy had rushed by. He glanced after her for a second, before then shaking his head. "No, I just got a bit of a shock," he admitted with a grin. "Actually... Oh..." He looked down to see Osu crawling under the chair. Ah ha... This could get tricky...
Tsu was still hiding behind Kiro. Now... he recognised Osu... but, wasn't Osu once a floaty thing too? It was when he was super-fast (which was the only way Tsu could think to explain why he'd never been fast enough to touch him) and kind of blue... He watched the boy crawl under the chair towards him and murbled quietly. Ahh... He was coming closer!! Fretfully Tsu murbled again, but he didn't float away.
Seeing that nothing horrendous was about to happen, Kiro turned back to Ieyasu. "He's just hit the wisp stage... I really don't think he's enjoying it," he admitted. But then he seemed to brighten up a little. "But, I wonder if I could ask you two a favour? Just while you're here; it'll take less than five minutes."

"Of course. Yes yes yes..." she replied energetically as she carefully set down the items, first all the smaller objects, and then the larger, the blanket being set down last. That, of course, Delta hoped turned into something stylish and beautiful. Like her.
Of course, she'd just be happy to be able to touch things again.

Osu beamed at the blue wispy thing under the chair. He was now far enough underneath it that all that could be seen was his rear, complete with energetically-wagging bushy tail. He remembered being like that himself. It was so much fun being able to float through things! Although.. this wispy-thing looked kinda unhappy...
Osu paused for a moment thinking things though. "You sad? Why?" Then, then perfect solution came to him! "Wanna pway a game!?" He grinned cheerfully again. Who didn't like playing games!?
Ieyasu frowned a little. "That's a shame... I guess Osu was lucky in that he enjoyed it. It must be kinda scary for them to go through that.." As Kiro asked, the kitsune gave the neko a curious glance. "Sure. What is it you need?"

Alyosha looked at the items and counted them all, pondering for a moment. He looked at the blanket, picked it up, folded it into a thin strip and laid it diagonally across the table. There, that felt right. He then took up the beads and chain, laying them perpendiular to the pice of cloth at one end and doing the same for the rest of the items at the other.
As he picked up her circlet, her bonded item, he admired again the large peacock feathers on it. He smiled a little as his hands hovered over the table before they placed the item down, drawing Delta in with it.
Her form shivered and twisted, spinning slowly. It was dizzy to watch as her horns began to harden and become black as ebony, her body slowly coalescing from the blue spinning mass. Slowly, she came to a halt. She stood, hands on her hips, looking at the adults.

"MybeautifulonlydaugterOHMYGOSHshe'sjustsolovely!" Sy gushed. Well, she knew what she had said, but Delta just looked at her as puzzled as ever and was again silently doubting her mother's sanity. As she was hugged so tightly it almost made breathing hard, she looked at Aly for help. She enjoyed being worshipped, obviously, but not so fiercly she could barely breathe!
"OhmygoshthankyouAlyoshayouarethebestmanaliveIswear!" And there was more tight hugging of Delta, as if she was afraid her daughter would disappear any moment now.

"I'm supposed to... uhh..." Absently the neko-jin hunted through the paper he'd managed to acculmulate on the table, before he found his notebook. "I'm supposed to be taking measurements of all the Aerandir... height, weight, age, stuff like that...
Tsu, for once didn't pay any attention to Kiro as the youth stood to go fetch the scales and the tape measure, instead sizing up Osu. It was wierd... As time went on he was starting to understand more and more of what was being said to him. So... a game was it? Games were always good...! So, lowering himself level with the other, Tsu nodded, attempting a brave smile.

Alyosha blinked, shrugged slightly towards Delta and then made calming motions towards Sy. "Calm.. down..." he said, his headache was clinging on by its claws and threatening to come back".
"Can I... go back to bed now please?" he asked quietly, getting to his feet. "I'm sure you two have a lot to.. er.. do".
