Tsu nodded enthusiastically, taking the oppertunity to zip around Osu a few times. He then waved like he had done before, with a 'murble of farewell', looking up to wave at Ieyasu as well. He wanted to play again sometime soon!
Kiro nodded, also standing. "Okay well, thanks for the help both of you." He picked up the tape measure and the scales from the floor where he'd left them, intending to put them away. "We'll see you later, yeah?"
Smiling, he then moved away to return the tools to their cupboard, Tsu following him with a final cheerful wave.

Ieyasu grinned. "See you later, both of you." Waving in response to the wisp, he turned to leave, expecting that Osu would catch up with him. He usually did afterall.
"Bye bye Kiwo, bye bye Su!" Osusuki exclaimed, waving energetically to the both of them. Happy that Tsu wanted to play again, he pelted out the door after Ieyasu. "Yassu!!! Coming!"

Foenix entered the Centre with a happy sigh. Her house had been freshly scrubbed and cleaned, and it was time for a little relaxation. Reaching a seat, she made herself comfortable and pulled some knitting from her bag. Looking over her shoulder at the open door, she called out, "Nehanda, come inside, why don't you? Don't just leave the door standing open like that.
With an accomodating giggle, Nehanda quickly ran in. She carried a small bag of her own and a brightly-hued bloom clutching in her fist. Plopping down on the floor by Foenix's feet, she reached in and pulled out a book. Opening it, she contentedly began to look for the flower she had plucked.

Kiro realised, as he poked his head out of the corridor, he seemed to be having amazingly good luck as far as bumping into other guardians was concerned. He also paused briefly to reflect that this might have a lot to do with the fact he was practically stalking the main area. Or, hopefully "stalking" was too harsh a word... well, he was there a lot in any event...
He spotted the two and hesitated nervously. He didn't recognise either of them, and only hoped he wasn't interrupting anything. He stepped out towards them with a smile and a cautious wave. "Hey."
Tsu, on the other hand, didn't feel like being outgoing at all, hiding behind Kiro in all his wispyness and peering at the strangers cautiously.

Foenix looked up when he spoke. "Oh! Hi. I didn't realize anyone else was around." Had she ever met him before . . . ? Foenix tried to place the face, but just couldn't remember. "I'm sorry, but have we met? There aren't that many people arund cetalu, but I've got a really bad memory for names and faces.
Nehanda looked up as well, but dismissed the stranger for her book.

Fae casually walked into the Centre, not far behind, Pueblo too, carrying her pallet and brush.
The little Aerandir girl looked eager to paint on something as she gnawd on the end of her paint brush handle. But she nearly dropped it when she saw who else was in the Centre; there on the ground was another Aerandir that was at the same stage as her, and she looked very familiare... Still, she wasn't as outright as some of the other Aerandir, and so kept her patients as she followed Fae closely from behind. On the other hand, she did reconize the two owners standing there...
Fae beamed when she saw Foenix and Kiro. Waving, "Anakiro! Foenix!" and excitedly walked over to the lot. Just noticing, however, when she tried to move quickly, felt a heavy force pulling from behind. She turned her head to see Pueblo clinging to her pant leg and smiled easily. "Abby...it's okay, you know everyone here. See?" But as she spoke her own words, she gaped at the sight of the two transformed Aerandir and became excited again.
((Greh, I have to make a stop at the store. I will be back a little later- just continue. ><))

Kiro grinned a little as Fae entered, offering a slight wave, before smiling a little wider at Foenix. "I don't think we have. I'm Kiro, and this is Tsukai," he said as he shifted aside a little to reveal the wisp.
He hesitated, curious. Her name was Foenix, or so Fae had just said... He idly wondered what the little girl reading her book was called. He also wondered if it would be rude to ask if she would mind getting measured. It seemed so to him in any event...

Foenix grinned. "It's nice to meet you, Kiro, Tsukai. This is Nehanda." REaching out with her toe, she poked playfully at the little child's butt. "Handa, remember your manners. The book won't leave without you."
With a heavy sigh, Nehanda stood up. "Hi, I's Handa, it's nice ta meet you." Considering her job complete, she plopped right back down and continued looking for the flower.
Foenix sighed heavily. "Sorry, she's at that stage right now. So, when did Tsukai reach wisp stage? Frustrating, isn't it."

Kiro nodded, taking a seat as he did so and depositing the book he'd been carrying on the table, careful not to disturb what Foenix had been doing. "A few days ago. He's not exactly taken to it readily. But he's getting used to it I think. He's looking forward to being able to poke things more than anything else." He smiled at that, turning to glance at what the wisp was up to.
Tsu it seemed, had boldened a little over the last few days. The little girl, 'Handa', seeming preoccupied with her book. He floated over to her, wringing his wispy hands fretfully, before peering over her shoulder at the book. A lot of books had stories in them... And stories were good! But this one was like Kiro's big book... lots of pictures... Hmm...

Nahanda looked up over her shoulder. The wisp that came with Kiro was floating there. What was his name? She hadn't exactly been listening very hard . . . But Foenix said it was rude not to include others, so . . . "Hi, Tsukee. Wanna wook at my book? It's got stuff about fwowers. I wike fwowers." She sat up and held the book out so that he could look along with her. "I'm twyin' to find dis one." She lifted the flower clutched in her fist.
Foenixnodded and smiled. "You'll have to let me know how he does getting used to a corporeal body again. One of the first things Nehanda did when she became a child was to try and run through a wall. It worked when she was a wisp, but after that . . ." She trailed off with a rueful smile, letting Kiro imagine for himself what had happened.

Kiro couldn't help but wince, but with an amused expression. He really could imagine that. "Owch. Bet she didn't try that twice!"
Whoa...!! Spotted!! Tsu blinked for a few moments before calming down a little. Ah, it was okay. Nothing dire was going to happen. Hmm... "Fwowers" were good were they? He floated a little closer to the book, peering at the pictures. Wow, fwowers looked pretty neat - all colourful and stuff! Then he glanced at the flower in her hand and circled it a few times looking at it. Whoa... So a picture of that, was in there? That was, also, pretty neat! He lowered himself to ground level, watching her with a smile, hoping she continued to go through the book.
"Hey," said Kiro after a slight pause. "I hope I'm not being too forward or anything... But I was wondering if you and Nehanda would mind if I took a few measurements and stuff? I've got this research thing to do, information gathering for all the Aerandir..." He paused, having hardly hesitated as he'd asked, feeling distinctly rude by now for asking, and blushing a little approriately.

Foenix shook her head eagerly. "Oh, no, of course I wouldn't mind! That sounds fascinating. And Nehanda's usually interested in anything different from the day's normal routine." Tucking her knitting away, she slid forward to the edge of her seat and placed a hand on the girl's shoulder, with a smile for the Wisp floating beside her. Nehanda, hon, Kiro here would like to take a look at you. He's gathering really important information on all of the Aerandir. You want to help, don't you?"
Nehanda tilted her head and studied Kiro. He looked nice, and this sounded kind of neat. And it it was really important then she was supposed to help, right? She stood up and looked down at Tsukai. "We can keep wooking for my fwower later, okay?"

Confused as why Foenix had ignored her, she stepped up a little ways to Kiro and stared at Tsukai. "Did you get my ribbon? I never got to see Tsu like this before... I was wondering when he'd get to this stage, she grinned to her own "research" matters.
Pueblo's chin tilted upward as she stared at the floating blue wisp, aka Tsukai. Hey! She remembered when she was at that stage. Sympthasizing for him how he couldn't touch anything, she walked up to where he landed next to the other girl. Trembling a little, she bowed in greeting. "Hi Tsu." She raised a hand, elbow glued to her side, and bent her fingers in a sort of shy wave. Watching the other girl for a moment, her eyebrows furrowed and her tail twitched in thought. She stayed silent.

Tsu nodded eagerly at the suggestion of looking for the fwower later. He really wanted to find it!!
Kiro nodded gratefully before standing. "Okay... let me just get some things then." He moved back across to that cupboard to retrieve the trusty bathroom-type scales and the tape measure. For a second he wondered - what were a set of bathroom scales doing in the cupboard anyway? Mysterious...
He then returned and kneeled down near Nehanda, setting down both objects and retrieving his notebook. "Okay Nehanda... Could I get you to stand on here?" He indicated the scales. "Square in the middle for me? We're just gonna see how much you weigh..."
Tsu murbled happily as he watched Kiro produce the objects. Kiro was always happy after he had some new "dayta" to look at!!

Foenix looked up in startlement. "Wha-? Fae!" Jumping up, she hugged the younger woman. "I'm so sorry. I was concentrating on Kiro so hard that I didn't notice you were there! How are you?" Looking over at Fae's little girl, she grinned even more widely. "And this has got to be Pueblo. She's just beautiful, Fae."
Nehanda stared at the other Aerandir child as she did what Kiro asked. There was something so familiar about her . . . Looking over, she remembered the woman Foenix was hugging. Fae. And Fae had had a gryphon she'd liked to play with. An owl/wolf named- "Pwebwo!" She crowed. "It's me! 'Handa!" She started to jump down from the scale, but stopped. She didn't want to mess up Kiro's work.
((Gah. It's very hard to type Pueblo's name in toddler-speech . . . smile ))
