Like an anxious mother.

Rinali watched carefully as Tezza ran a warm, damp, washcloth over the strange mocha coloured egg they'd somehow acquired during the CDL exhibition a few days a before. When it became apparent that the egg was not just a pretty thing to put on the mantle, no carefully crafted piece of art but something with life inside it, Tezza had taken it upon herself to care for the egg. Other than knowing that it harboured a living being inside nothing else had yet been found out about the egg. They still were not where it came from or what sort of thing would hatch from it. Tezza didn't seem to care what it though, the small purple haired girl just wanted whatever it was to hatch already so she could take it on adventures and play with it.

Theses things couldn't be rushed however and Rinali warned her little one it would take time, that the best Tezza could do was help keep the egg warm and clean, hence the current careful washing of it to make sure the shell remained clean and shiny. With the amount of dist and pet hair that gathered in the house no matter how well protected things tended to get dirty.

It was a thing the Seraph would have done herself if Tezza hadn't been so insistent on that being her special job. The orange haired woman could only smile and think that some day Tezza would make an excellent parent, then of course she prayed that that would be many many years from now. For the moment Rinali was content to watch Tezza with her meticulous washing. She got every inch of the shell paying special attention to redoing to the white striped markings on it and the strange skill necklace even though the girl had been told it didn't do anything. Then again she couldn't do much hard either the egg was dried after each rubbing with the mildly damp cloth and the water it had been soaked in before being wrung out was hot anyways so most of the liquid evaporated right off the shell.

Watching the strange egg most of the day, making sure it remained at a stable temperature and the like, those were the things the Seraph woman did. It was simple enough but it made Rinali feel useful while she tried to search for other eggs of this type. What with gaia being filled with strange eggs of so many different types floating about all over the place it was hard to narrow down possible matches.

To be honest Rinali didn't know if she should look for eggs with jewelery on them, eggs with tribal markings or a combination thereof like her own egg was. Regardless of what she looked up or listened out for there were a lot of leads to follow and it could belong time before she figured this out. The woman only hoped that without knowledge of proper species she and her family were caring for this egg as best as possible

Once Tezza was done with the egg, the girl with her small ribbon bound wings dried off any remaining moisture, kissed the top of it then darted off to go tell Teisin all about it. Rinali shook her head copper curls of hair stretching out and swishing about as she did so. A small smile on the woman's face face she walked over to the now clean egg , silver bell earrings jingling with each step, to rearrange it's make shift nest.

She'd used a small plush towel as a base,made a traditional deep bowl shape then lined it with soft insulating feathers from various sources including herself. Next came the egg itself carefully placed withing the nest on it's side then finally covered by a light sheet of semi transparent fabric that also apparently retained heat according to Czhichi. The nest itself was in a area that got sunlight enough to keep the egg warm but not so much it wouldn't fry the being inside.

As she fussed over rearranging the feathers and adjusting the egg's position before covering it again Rinali gave a soft sigh of contentment. Depending on whatever lay inside that egg all these efforts and all the care put into ensuring it's hatching might mean little if anything to the hatchling. Really they had no idea how aware or sentient the being within the shell was. Still, whatever it was that lay growing inside the rather tribal looking egg it was a part of their family and they would care for it.

A watched egg never cracks.

Tuesday June 30th
It was almost predictably humorous that the large tribal marked egg that the household had been caring for so well hatched when the house inhabitants were asleep. Tiny hairline fractures appeared on the shell that grew and became deep dark seams. The shell seemed to glow then for a moment before pieces of it fell away to reveal a small winged boy who's own bodily markings matched that of the egg he had come from.

The boy crawled away from the remains of his egg shaggy brown hair falling into his rich green eyes every now and again. The young songbird was a bit too unsteady to walk just yet.

Too young as well to understand the concept of a sliding door or why the glass in it showed him his reflection as well as the outside. For a time the boy just sat in front of the hard unmoving substance and stared at himself curiously. Each time his moved his orange and yellow wings his reflection did as well, it was quite fascinating to him. If he touched a white marking on his tanned skin his doppelganger followed, though on the other side for some reason. His beaded necklace with skull attached, the feathers and smaller skull in his hair, the loin cloth he wore. all of these were things the young child was better able to explore by watching through his reflection instead of just staring at himself. There was no vanity to be found here just an honest curiousness about the ones self.

So entranced was the boy that he never even noticed he was being snuck up on until he noticed the reflection of someone else in the door and turned to look at them.

" Hi" the purple haired girl , smiled and spoke to him, moved her hand in a gesture the hatching didn't understand but copied anyways.

" Hi" A word he didn't understand but also copied.

The girl giggled and suddenly the tan boy was being lifted into the girl's arms and held close to this strangers chest. " You can't sleep out here it's too cold. You can sleep with me I'm Tezza , you're sister." The boy didn't understand most of the words yet but the voice, he knew that voice from when he'd been inside his shell. he had heard her voice the most often and it was tezza who he saw first and ina way imprinted on. the still nameless boy didn;t know it yes but his imprinted was not to be his mother figure, still the girl with her braided hair and ribbon threaded wings was to be important in his life.

Once he was curled up in bed with his sister the small songbird closed his eyes and began to drift off to sleep listening to her talk. He had no idea what a kitty mommy or an el mommy was nevermind a mac'baht or a Zoe. Hiking and jogging and sports were things beyond his comprehension but he listened anyways as Tezza babbled to him in a soft voice. She wasn't quite keeping him awake but she was making his mind think as it tried to imagine what these things she walked about were. there was so much still he had to learn, an entire world to explore.

Exploring however would need to wait for morning. Things outside his egg were not quite as warm and cozy but the small brunet was tired
and the mattress beneath him was comfy, the blanket laid over him was soft and Tezza curled aroudn him was warms. He was not hungry and there was nothing anymore to catch his attention as his sister quieted down and prepared to sleep herself. though he had just been born the little one was not quite ready yet to take on the world. Tomorrow when the sun rose perhaps he would be ready.

Wren's nest

" Ok close your eyes Wren so it can be a surprise" Rinali urged as she bounced the boy in her arms a little. The orange haired woman smiled as the boy's green eyes closed and her new son smiled. Today was a special today for her little one, the winged boy had hatched from his rather strange egg a little while ago but today was the day he got his own room. Rinali could only hope the boy would like it, after all the effort that had gone into making it someplace special for him. Wren might have been fine, besides the squishing, being in Tezza's room but really the boy needed his own space and so she and Czhichi had renovated the spare for his use. Tezza had helped though she grumbled a bit about having to let her brother who hatched from her egg go.

As she opened the door to Rinali smiled and tickled Wren "Open your eyes little one and see the room we made for you".

Following his mother's orders the brunet's the eyes flew open and an unusually excited burble spilled from his lips as Wren's eyes darted around the room inspecting each object. It was clear from the steady stream of pleased noises and the way he flapped his tiny orange and yellow wings that the boy was happy with the room.

Completing the room had been an expensive and time consuming but a worthwhile endeavor, after all Wren would now be able to sleep on his own without the risk of being accidentally rolled onto by his sister. He would have a place to play and call his own that he needn't share unless the hatching wanted to. It was a fair sized room and in time Rinali imagined Wren would change the age appropriate pictures on the walls to posters of bands he liked and the stuffed animals would be replaced with action figures or whatever else struck his fancy.

The rooms patterned wallpaper would likely go in a few years, or less what with the way children here seemed to grows in spurts, but it had taken little effort to put up so Rinali wasn't all that bothered. Though she would put her foot down about repainting the wall all the time once the wallpaper was removed. No more often than once a year unless the boy was doing it himself becuase painting was a heck of a lot of effort. Definitely no mural's either, kids always seemed to outgrow them far too fast.

Other things though, the woman thought would last. The plush carpeting was a neutral creme colour that would stay soft and comfortably for many years, the furniture upon it all was polished hardwood that should easy stand the test of time. A set of bookshelves lay against one wall the top shelf already filled with children's classics both here and from her home plain. Books she could read to him and some he could read to himself once he learned how to. On top of the bookshelf sat photos of the family and a picture of Wren taken earlier that week, Rinali hoped they would always be there but she wouldn't be surprised if pictures of his friend joined over overlapped them as the boy aged . So long as he remembered them.

The most important item in the room though was in a class case onto of Wren's dresser. Rinali had collected up the larger pieces of the egg the boy had come from and placed them inside the case. It was a reminder of where he had come from and the way his egg had been so cherished and care for by the family before he was born.

Wendy

Home rp

* Tezza,Wren and Rinali Played by me
Czhichi, Teisin and Wendy played by dgcakes

Tezza lay in front of the tv watching a movie about some boy and his dog that played soccer, the purple haired girl thinking that when it came to animal movies it was always a boy and his dog and a girl and her horse, it was sort of weird and what was the word..sexist? Plus it made it seem like those were the only animals in the world.

Wren sat on the couch in his mother's lap, dark brown hair still damp from a recent bath and feathers being dried and preened by the angelic woman.Quiet by nature the young songbird didn't much mind the fussing in fact it made him smile.

Rinali let her eyes flick between the various members of her family as she worked, it was nice to have a quiet peaceful night like this.

Czhichi entered the room, smiling and waving to the others as she went to look over the pile of mail to see if anything came for her. Surprisingly, there was a letter, which she immediately opened and gasped at.

Rinali turned her head and looked careful at her lover " What's wrong?"

"I need to talk to you privately for a moment." she said gently.

The seraph nodded and stood after setting Wren down on the couch to sit alone, Tezza could watch him for a few minutes

Czhichi sighed, showing her lover into another room. "I got a letter from the angelic plane today."

Is everything alright?" Rinali wasn't sure any kind of good news could be coming from her home plain for the other woman

"Well, yes and no. My ex-mother-in-law, the one who was keeping my daughter, decided it was time to pass on. The rest of the family has no interest in custody of her so she's free to come live with us." the woman explained.

Rinali stared at Czhichi for a moment, this was.. this was great! Better than that really it was justice finally served. The angel wrapped the other woman in her arms and than wings.

Czhichi smiled and snuggled her. "I'm worried about the kids though. I'm afraid they might not like having her here since they were the only siblings and now she'll be here and a bit older."

Rinali though about that for a moment, Tezza was generally a friendly girl if independent and resistant to having to accommodate others unless there was something in it for her. Okay so she was a fairly typical little girl except for the obsessive climbing. Wren was fairly quiet though and seemed fairly accepting of everything he encountered including Mac taking food off his plate. " I think the kids will be fine, it will mostly be a matter of how we explains things to them." It wasn't as if they were replacing them by adding the girl to their family anymore than Wren had been a replacement for Tezza

"I know. I guess...I guess I'm just worried about how they'll react to me telling them. I'm not good at this."

The orange haired woman pressed a soft kiss to the other's lips " relax they're just kids they can't hurt you and I'll be right there"

Czhichi nodded, kissing her lover back and smiling.

" Go on now"

The tigress sighed and went out to the living room to sit on the couch. "Tezza, Wren, I need to talk to you." she said gently, taking the little boy to snuggle while she spoke. He tended to make her feel more content.

Tezza pulled herself into a sitting position and the braided girl turned to face her tiger mommy, Czhichi looked nervous so clearly this was important. She could always catch her movie on tv again later.

Wren fidgeted with his skull and bead necklace while looking up at the woman silently, curious about what was going to be said?

"You know how your angel mommy was married before she and I met and she had a kid then?" the woman asked, blushing.

Tezza nodded " Yeah, we see Pyran all the time." The redhead was full grown but he stopped by from time to time and didn't live all that far away to begin with so Tezza usually saw her brother of sorts at least twice a week.

Wren nodded as well and smiled, he liked Pyran, he was fun.

"Well, before we met, I was married too. It's a long story, but during that time, I had a little girl. When her father left me, his mother decided to take her away and wouldn't let me take care of her till certain conditions were met. Now her grandmother has died so I'm allowed to have her."

" Is she big like Pyran?" The idea of death seemed to have flown over Tezza's head, besides the grandmother was bad anyways, keeping one of her mothers from their girl. That was like Disney evil and some part of the girl assumed the woman deserved to die like villains did.

"No, she's little. Just a bit older than you are, Tezza."

Wren tapped on Czhichi's arm at that, seeking her attention but not quite sure what he wanted to say. He did want to meet this girl even if she left hims till the youngest but.. where would the girl go? If there wasn't enough room would he have to go away becuase he was the smallest? A strange fear and irrational but this was not a situation for which Wren knew what was supposed to happen and his young mind was filled with strange ideas.

Tezza just smiled " So we can go to school together in the fall and she's big enough to go climbing with?" For the inky eyed cabbage girl there was only excitement at the thought of having a sister, another girl in the house all the time " and we can have sleepovers with Zoe?" Which would of course be better with three people

Czhichi bounced the little boy and smiled at him before answering Tezza's questions. "Yes, though I don't know if she's been allowed much tree-climbing experience in the last few years. Her grandmother was very stuffy and considered such things unladylike. You'll have to show her how but if I remember my Wendy, she'll probably enjoy going climbing with you." the woman assured her daughter, "Sure, I think she'd love that. You and Zoe are the right age for her to play with."

The ribbon winged girl grinned " There's more to climb than just trees and Zoe can talk to her about trampolines." Why Zoe liked the things Tezza would never understand, certainly she'd seen people do amazing things on them but they just seemed so silly to Tezza.

Wren's green eyes flicked between Tezza, his mother and Czhichi, all girls, and Wendy was also female. It made him flaps his wings nervously to think that he and Mac were the only boys even Teisin was female. Not, of course that any of his family had ever shown him anything other than love.

The woman bounced him again. "Relax, Wren. It'll be okay." She assured him gently. "One day, I'm sure we'll end up with another boy so you can have a brother."

Rinali nodded to that and reached out to gently muss his hair, carefully to avoid catching her hands on the sections with beads or the miniature skull "We love all of you the same regardless of when you came into our lives and that includes Pyran" Her son from her first marriage was still very dear to the woman's heart " We just want you all to get along"

Czhichi nodded in agreement. "According to the letter, she should be arriving sometime either this evening or tomorrow."

" Where's she going to sleep?' Tezza asked curiously " She could share with me?" though the girl had already tried sharing her bed with Wren and that had ended in her rolling onto the poor boy and squishing him more than once until other arrangements had been made.

"Yes. I do believe we can probably get another bed to go in your room, or you two can just share. Since you two are about the same size, you'd be less likely to squish her."

Wren gave a soft giggle t that remembering being squished, still it had been nice to cuddle, until the squishing and it had been Tezza who had found him the night he hatched. His older sister was nice and Wendy .. " Is Wendy nice?"

"Yes, Wendy was a very sweet girl, at least last time I saw her. Though, given how not fond of her grandmother she was, I don't think that's changed."

Wren nodded at that ok as long as she was nice. Rinali smiled and reached out to squeeze czhichi's shoulder " See told you everything would be fine"

The woman grinned. About that time, there was a knock at the door.

Rinali stood and moved to go get it not wanting to disturb czhichi

At the door, was an older male seraph and a little girl who smiled and waved up at her. "Hey, just droppin the kidling off." the man said before departing.

Rinali frowned, who the hell just left a kid without checking to make sure she was with the right people and great notice they'd given mail was easily lost. still the woman smiled down at the little one " Hi there I'm Rinali , come in and meet everyone you're going to be living with"

Wendy smiled brightly up at the older lady. "Hihi Miss Rinali."

The Seraph smiled and reached down to lift the girl up and carry her into the house " Wendy's here" she called out softly hoping Tezza and Wren were nice without being smothering. She supposed she ought to include herself in that, she could be that way around little ones.

Czhichi looked up and smiled, bouncing Wren again. "That's good. Tezza, why don't you go give your sister a hug?" she said, standing to carry the boy over.

Tezza nodded and bounced over to the other girl wrapped her in a tight hug " I'm Tezza, I came from a cabbage" she gestured to Wren " That's our brother Wren he came from an egg Zoe and I found"

Wendy grinned, hugging the other girl and wrapping her tail around her. "I'm Wend-Gwendolyn." she said, the last bit she blushed on and seemed to pout a bit.

"You're Wendy." Czhichi repeated with a smile, bringing Wren over for a hug too.

" Genwnedy?" Now Wren was just plain confused, who was the girl?

Wendy sighed. "My name is Wendy but my grandmother said it wasn't a dignified name so she said I have to go by Gwendolyn."

Tezza rolled her eyes and shook her head " Wendy, like the smart girl in the peter pan movie"

"Yeah." the girl agreed with a nod.

Wren smiled from where he was being held and flapped his wings a little while waving, Wendy did seem nice.

The tiger girl flapped her wings a little in response. "Cute." she giggled before turning back to Tezza and smiling. "What do you like to do?"

" I climb and play soccer and explore" the purple haired girl grinned " and and you're sleeping in my room becuase you're too big to squish" she explained

The other laughed and nodded. "Okay." she agreed before looking puzzled. "Those things sound fun but I've not done much of them."

" It's ok" Rinali said softly and she moved to fuss with the girls wings " you'll have time to try them and anything you want from now on." Well maybe not anything but close.

The girl smiled. She thought she was gonna like this family a lot.

Czhichi smiled. "How about we all go spend some time with Teisin and the kittens? I'm sure they feel lonely."

Both Tezza and Wren smiled at that, nothing was better than little fuzzy babies the tigress had had only a fortnight ago. They were so lucky to live here and that Czhichi was the CDL animal trainer.

The woman showed them into the room where the tigress and her four cubs were. The creature purred a little at seeing them. She missed company.

The small winged Tezza moved over to curl by the tigress' head and pet her " love you kitty mommy" she knew the tigers name but she'd always referred to her as this ever since she was small like Wren.

Teisin purred and licked the girl's cheek, settling her head lightly in her lap.

Rinali smiled softly as she watched this, really this was how things were meant to be, they might be a bit rocky while everyone adjusted to having Wendy around but for now things seemed to be going as normal as possible.

Czhichi put Wren down on the bed near the kittens. They'd newly opened their eyes and one came over to sniff at and nuzzle up to the boy.

The dark skinned child remained very quiet and still just in case moving prompted any of them to try and bite him, combined they liked outweighed and out powered the young songbird

"You can pet him." Czhichi assured the boy, turning to Rinali and indicating the woman should put Wendy down. The little girl seemed to be itching to see the cubs.

The orange haired seraph nodded and released the girl , it was of no surprise to her that the sub were by far the most popular ones in the room, although Tezza was as always more attached to their mother

Wendy lightly pat Teisin's belly before picking up one of the babies to snuggle. She was Czhichi's daughter, as was Tezza (and Wren a son) and provided they behaved, were deemed safe enough for the mother to let them handle her children. Particularly since Czhichi was watching.

The tiger woman smiled, reaching down to pick up a third cub and smile at her lover. "Rinali, do you want to hold one?"
:
Tezza just curled with her Kitty mommy and tapped a bright eyed cub on the nose" i bet you train a lot easier than mac" she murmured softly though she did think fondly of her pet and partner in travels.that and teisin's babies were too small to train and it was not her job.

Wren was content to pet the cub nearest to him but was still fairly nervous perhaps natural instinct for a bird.

She shook her head nad made her earrings jingle " no desire to lose an ear today" perhaps another day when she remembered to take her earrings out first.

Czhichi laughed. "Taking your earrings out would take less than a minute." the woman said softly.

The cub Tezza'd tapped whined and moved into her lap, seeing as that was closer to it's mother. The one in Wren's lap, however, just purred.

Tezza just smiled and reached out to scratch behind it's ears. The cabbage born girl was happy, she was with her family, which seemed to be always growing, and everyone in it was happy

" Tch but then I'm not musical" Rinali mock protested as she removed the earrings and pocketed them " Alright hand it over"

Czhichi laughed and gave her the baby to snuggle. The little one promptly leaned up to lick her.

The angel laughed softly "I am not a source of food" she teased softly " and I probably taste like sweat." She'd been busy all day and still needed to shower.

Czhichi smiled. A while longer of playing with the cubs and Teisin and it was time to let them rest. "Okay, everyone out."

Tezza sighed and grumbled, she missed snuggle with teisin, still she had new babies now to spend time with. Wren gave a small squeak as his sister picked him up out of nowhere to carry him and Rinali just shook her head and held tighter to the cub in her arms " but I wanna keep him.. or her"

"He needs to be with his Mommy right now. Put your earrings back on. We can visit again tomorrow."

" Who will I cuddle" The angel teased and rubbed her nose with the cub's, gods but she could be so juvenile sometimes, still it was hard to resist doing/

"Maybe if you're good we can stage a little sleepover in here. I know Teisin misses seeing people and you guys don't seem to want to leave."

Wren pointed to Tezza " squishing" he warned, not that he was being squished but that the girl rolled and cubs were small. Them getting squished would be bad.

"We could set her up on the floor between myself and Wendy to keep her from rolling." The tigress suggested.

Rinali grinned it looked like tonight really was going to be interesting.

The woman smiled, walking over to hug Rinali and take the cub. "You guys go get sleeping bags and such."

Rinali nodded taking Tezza and Wren, leaving Wendy alone with her mother in case they needed to talk.

Wendy smiled, helping her mother arrange the kittens and Teisin so the whole family could have room in here.

A few minutes later the trio returned with everything they could possibly need for the night.

Czhichi grinned, helping them set up. "Tezza, hon, would you like to call Zoe and see if she'd like to join us?"

Tezza looked thoughtful for a moment then shook her head " not tonight" tonight was just for them for her family, tomorrow she's take Wendy to see Tezza " Oh and I can't find Mac I think he's escaped again" he always came back but the macbaht seemed to wander at will no matter how she locked him up

"That's all right. He's Mac, he always comes back." Czhichi assured her, patting the girl's shoulder. "You guys curl up. I need to drag your Mommy out here to help me bring the TV in so we can all watch movies and then I'll order pizza and make us snacks."

Kids play

PD with deeg

A squirming Mac, recovered from behind the fridge, in her arms Tezza set off through the house looking for her new sibling. The braided girl wanted to introduce Wendy to some of the other children on the grounds including her best friend Zoe and Oliver the goalie on her soccer team.

Wendy was presently seated in her room, putting on a new pair of overalls her mother had bought her and putting her hair in a ponytail. "Oh! Hey Tez!"

Tezza smiled " Hey are you ready to come out and meet Zoe and Oliver?"
Mac rolled his eyes forward and stared at the catgirl intently for a moment.

"Sure." the girl said cheerily, waving her tail and going over to pet the creature in her sister's arms. "Cuteeeeeee."

Mac made a small noise in his throat and flicked his long chameleon like tongue out to lick the girl's nose.

" Mac does that sometimes" Tezza warned a little too late " He doesn't train very well but I'm trying." Mostly the purple furred creature tended to listen only to adults and even then there were time he ignored them outright in favour of what he was already doing.

The other child giggled and smiled. "He's cute."

" He's weird but I love him" Tezza affirmed before asking another question " Where's Wren? We're taking him with us becuase he needs to see people more" in the girl's opinion her brother was too quiet and needed friends. Plus in a way he was still sort of Zoe's as well so she deserved to see him too.

"Last I saw him, he was with Mommy." The girl replied, blinking.

The purple haired girl nodded " Ok well lets go find them and then we can get going." Whether or not mac made the trip would be decided based on how much longer he tolerated being held

Czhichi was in the other room, feeding Teisin and bouncing Wren now and then. She was trying to get the boy more comfortable with the tigress and her cubs.

The green eyed songbird smiled and fluttered his wings on occasion, he looked up slowly when his older siblings walked into the room

Czhichi glanced up. "Oh, hey girls. What's up?"

" We're going to see Zoe and then Oliver" Tezza explained " Wendy needs to meet them ' it was most important that her sister meet these two, couldn't possibly be put off any longer. " And we're out of chocolate milk syrup again"

"All right. I will get some while I'm at the store again. Are you taking Wren?"

Tezza nodded and smiled over at her brother " Yeah he needs friends." Family was important too but you needed to have friends and thus far Wren didn't actually have any.

Wren made small noise at that and reached out to pet Teisen while smiling, she was his friend even if she was a bit scary to him on an instinctual level.

The older tiger leaned up to lick his hand before Czhichi carried him over to his sisters. "All right. have a good time."

Tezza nodded and picked the toddler up, Mac having escaped her arms just moments earlier, despite his protests that he could walk " We will we'll be careful too." The girl promised before carrying Her brother out of the room and motioning with a small wing for Wendy to follow.

Wendy grinned and followed after, excited to meet kids her own age.

Tezza lead the group out of the house and across the ground towards where Zoe lived. Zoe being her best friend had to be the first stop for them. Wren gave a soft sigh and rested his head on her chest, fiddling with the beads on his necklace as he was carried

The tiger girl followed along quickly with her sister, occasionally reaching out to pat his head.

Once they go to the other girls home Tezza adjusted the way she was holding wren and then rung the doorbell. Zoe should be home or at least Tezza hoped she would be

The door was opened by Allen, who smiled pleasantly down at them. "Ah, the other half of the deadly duo." he said cheerily, letting them in.

Tezza smiled back " Hi Mr. Allen , this is Wendy my bigger sister" she explained as she pointed at the catgirl whom had arrived the night before. " I wanted Zoe to meet her.

Wren waved at the man once they were inside he liked Allen and that he wore costume makeup like how Wren himself had special markings on his body, though his did not come off with water

"Hello Wendy. And hello there Wren." he said cheerily, waving to the two.

Wendy grinned and waved as well.

Allen smiled, showing them in. "I was hoping you'd come over. I have a special job for you kids I was waiting to tell Zoe about till you got here."

" Job?" Wren spoke up quietly, jobs were for grown ups of which he was most certainly not

"Yep. Not full time, don't worry, Wren. Just something I need you guys to do." he explained, leading them to Zoe's door so he could knock on it.
"Hey, squirt, your friends are here."

"mmsleeping" Zoe mumbled, the way the sun came in her window it kept the girl warm and cozy under her covers and she wasn't quiet ready to get up yet

"Tezza brought someone to introduce you to and I have a job for you." he replied. "Anyway, are you at least decent? Cause I'll let them in so you don't have to get out of bed if you are."

" Ew why would I be naked?"

"Because you fell asleep after a shower or cause it was too warm for clothes? How would I know. I'm not in there, now am I?" he pointed out, opening the door. "Maybe you were hanging out with Shylock too long and you decided to become a nudist." he teased

Zoe sat up and stuck her tongue out at the man as he opened the door " Shylock is weird" Nice enough but weird and not in a horribly interesting way either.

Tezza laughed at that and grinned over at her best friend " Yes he is but he's a boy and they're always weird" She hugged Wren tight then so he'd know she loved him anyways.

The brown haired boy imply pointed over to his now oldest sister " Wendy" he was capable of introducing people too

Wendy smiled and waved a bit at the other girl. "Hello."

The auburn haired girl looked the newcomer over carefully, well Wendy was certainly interesting to look at if nothing else and she was brought here by Tezza so she must be fairly nice to be around " Hi" she smiled softly as she spoke. Zoe could be friendly , at least until she got bored
Allen leaned on the doorframe lightly, "When you are ready to hear it, your highness, I have a job for you and your friends to do."

Zoe stuck her tongue out again " tell me now" she mock ordered

"Cirque is doing a benefit show that's going to be performed for sick children from a bunch of local hospitals and many orphanages, as well as just being generally open for locals and their children. I want you guys to help Pazquel and Quetzel in their designs."

Tezza, Wren and Zoe all turned their heads to stare at Allen, them? He wanted their help with something so important?

The man smiled. "Yes, yes I do want your help. You are kids and you're all creative. Paz and Quetz could use your help coming up with things kids would like."

Zoe nodded first " Okay, we can do it and it'll be the most interesting stuff ever" becuase really Zoe did not do boring. Ever

Wren giggled at that " I'll help" He didn't much know how useful he'd be becuase he seemed to see things differently than the girls but he'd try at least.

Tezza grabbed Wendys hand and squeezed it " Yeah us too we can certainly be really helpful." Surely with all of them they could make great designs.

Wendy nodded a bit, smiling broadly.

"All right. You might want to grab some of the other local kids, like maybe some of Pyran's or Kyin's or whoever's for help. We have a lot to work with here and different kids will have different tastes so having a bunch of opinions could help."

Zoe gave Allen a look that clearly said she didn't trust the taste or opinions of other children beyond those currently in the room and even then she was likely to try and ignore or override them

Allen gave her a look in response. "You are not the head of the show, Zoe, and you are to remember this. Just because you don't like something or find it boring doesn't mean other children will too. You don't have the final say and if you become too pushy or try to put yourself too forward, I'll take you completely off the job." he said calmly.

Zoe stared at the ceiling for a moment before mumbling an ok.

The man smiled. "All right then. You can head over and see Paz and Quetz at their studio. And remember, the warning to Zoe goes for all of you - this is to be a group effort and no one person is in charge."

Tezza nodded " Kay" being in charge was not exactly in her plans as it was simply working well in a group was the girls goal, she realized at least a little that like Zoe she sometimes didn't much like having to bend to seeing things another's way. But she had to try and work with everyone today and she didn't want Wendy to think she was mean.

Wren tucked his orange and pale yellow wings to his back and nodded sharply , the green eyed boy was not exactly the bossy type.

Wendy smiled. "This sounds fun. I've never helped design things before. I wonder what all they'll let us do."

Zoe shrugged as she slipped clothes on over her night gown then pulled it out, fully changed without having to get naked " I'm sure there's lots of stuff, there's always lots of stuff and" the auburn haired girl grinned at that. really she lived the the most least boring place in the world.

Outside, Allen was waiting to escort the group over to see Paz and Quetz. "You guys ready to go?"

Everyone nodded " Yes"

"All right. This way then. I warn you all before we go, that this is your last chance to back out. This is going to be a LOT of work from you guys and you won't be allowed to just drop out in the middle. Please note, needing to be forcibly removed is still possible however, it will be at a cost to the show and to those who have to make up for that lack of a person, so I suggest you all remember to try and keep at least on semi-good behavior." he gave them the little manditory explanation as they walked towards the building the two designers were to be at. "you guys get to do a lot of work here and will be meeting and helping a lot of people."

" I'm small" Wren pointed out, though at least he was walking under his own power at the moment. He wanted to help becuase doing things for sick people was good but the more Allen talked the more the little songbird was unsure how much use he'd be.

"That's all right. A small kid's help can be just as useful as a big kid's help at times. We need to know things you and some other's your age might like too. You'll probably have less work to do but you'll still have a lot to do." the man explained.

The young boy smiled at that, as long as he was useful then

Inside of the studio, Pazquel - a tall woman with multicolored pigtails that even while on top of her head hung past her knees, and a set of pointy edged glasses - greeted them. "Hey all!" she said cheerily. "This the first batch of youngin's for the design teams?"

The group nodded and smiled, prepared to be as helpful as they could, Zoe tucking her hair into her shirt realizing she wasn't going to want it in her way.

The woman stretched a bit. "Well, gals and little guy, we have a particular plan for a few parts of the show, but other than that, it's mostly all up in the air. We want to keep groups working on things small, so you guys are going to be in smaller groups and you guys will each be helping on one show or two."
