Arafel carried the potted eden with her as she shuffled down the hall, going at a painfully slow pace. She stared at the little leaf, frowning at it curiously. No... There wasn't anything she could possibly think of to tell what the leaf liked.
Well, other than trial and error.. But.. That could kill some things! Too much water might drown it, or too little would dehydrate it... If it were a normal plant, one might know this. Alas, this leaf had a soul. And that soul had likes and dislikes.
once again the wereelf was creating a painfully slow pace as she stared at Freize's door. After a few moments she finally sighed, gently tapping on the door.
She couldn't help but feel nervious.. He'd done this without any help at all, and here she was unable to think of anything.

The male was sitting at his desk, foot tapping up and down as he wrote down something or other in one of his many binders. His head turned slightly, although his eyes remained on his paper as he heard the knock. "Eva."
The 'roo yawned widely, hopping off from where he'd been laying at the top of the bookshelf and landing with surprising grace for someone so small. He walked to the door, one hand finding its way into his pocket as he unlocked and opened it, wide blue eyes peering out. "Hullo...? Whozzere?" He hesitated and then smiled merrily. "'Fel!" He chirped happily, ears wriggling before he tugged the door all the way open. "Da, 's 'Fel!"
Freize swivvelled in his chair, looking towards Arafel expectantly, Dinh lifting his head from where he lay at the weremutt's feet. "Yes?"

Arafel seemed to slouch at all the sudden attention from the room. "Aa.." she fumbled a bit, peering at the door's frame as though it still contained a door. "Can i come in?"

"Sure." Freize consented, leaning back in his chair languidly. "C'mon in." Dinh peered warily up at his master before giving a soft snort, deciding that he was fine with her entering. The blue canine-like creature lowered his head and yawned, not worrying himself with the female any longer.
Eva took hold of the woman's sleeve, tugging her ahead gently, ever the cheerful fellow, "Hullo 'Fel! Whatcha doin'? We were jus-..." He eyed the pot curiously, moving his face closer towards the dirt-covered leaf. "Whazzat?" He questioned in a breathless manner, filled with his usual youthful enthusiasm. The brim of his hat drooped down over one of his eyes.

Arafel smiled and entered, a tiny wave of releif washing over her. Something about inconveniencing people or interupting.. It had never been good as a child.
"I jus-" she was cut off by the curious inquirings of the boy below her. Almost relaxing immediatly at the child's presence. "Aa it's Ilori..." She lowered the pot to the boys eye level so he could investigate. Watching him so he wouldn't accidentally harm the fragile leaf. Ofcourse, that probably would have happened with Futoeki before Eva did it.
Her tail gave a tiny sway as she tried to phrase her question just right. However, that attempt failed. So, plan B, blurt everything all out at once. "The letter said they needed stuff depending on their soul, like hot or cold or water or not and... Well. I don't... know what it is... What if I hurt it by giving it the wrong thing?" She frowned a bit, looking over the leaf.
Sure she could feel a tiny something from it. After she potted it the feeling that it was more than an ordinary leaf became more and more strong. But she was supposed to be able to feel life... Much more strongly than this. Once again her elven, or even kitsune skills failed her. That was her brother's department. She got he strength, which apparently came of no use here.

"Ilori...?" The 'roo echoed, curiousity ringing out in his tone. Curious little hands rose, bead bracelets letting out a soft 'shik-shika' noise as they clacked together. He touched a tan finger to the put, trying to gently ease it down so he could get a better look. "Why'dja name a leaf..?" There was definately something about this leaf, though, even Eva could feel it. He was confused at the speak of the leaf's 'soul', having not quite understood his own origins very well.
His weremutt caretaker, however, was completely silent the entire time, one clawed finger scritching behind one of his ears. After awhile he straightened in his chair, looking as if he were preparing to go back into work- his 'business' self was much different from his normal self.. Well, atleast to those who knew him well enough to notice the subtle changes that made it so different.
"Well, it's not always obvious... Eva showed discontent all throughout his potted stage.. It didn't seem like he liked anything I did, as a matter of fact." Woops. Maybe he should have paid better attention.. Ah well, the kid was alright now, right? It wasn't as if he ruined the kangaroo boy.

"Well... Because it will be a child someday." She nodded, practicing the wonderful art of holding two conversations. Ofcourse how does one try to explain to a child they came from a leaf?
Although the one with her significant other seemed to be dwindling short rather fast. Not that she hadn't expected it to, normally he left him alone when he worked.
She tilted her head to the side, arms slowly giving way to the boy's tuggings as she focused her attention to the man giving her the answer "Really?" the question wasn't really there, afterall... why would he have said it if it weren't true? Saying really had become a bad habit of showing suprise she picked up from her first two adopted children. She never saw the point, but then she started doing it.
She nodded some, smiling softly "Thankyou." she carefully shuffling over to him, leaning to give him a kiss on the top of his head. "Don't work too hard." Not that he'd listen to her... She stood straight again, heading back to the door. She paused, looking at the child, then back to Freize "Mind if me and Eva go color?"

"A child?" Eva echoed, but didn't press for an answer. He allowed the adults to have their grown-up talk time, simply examining the leaf with the utmost curiousity.
Freize nodded sagely, and smiled slightly as she kissed his head. "I never work too hard." He insisted, although both knew that wasn't true. It was actually quite the opposite.. But he'd never admit to that. He'd never admit that any task was too much for him- in that way he was somewhat similar to Spiro. He always felt the need to prove his worth by taking up tasks people had once told him he could never do because of his inferiority. He'd prove them wrong... And then he also needed to work for the family. He needed to keep mouths fed; including his own. After all, he was a bottomless pit. He turned back to his work. "Go ahead." He waved a hand and smiled.
The 'roo brightened, ears perking, "Coloring?" He smiled merrily and moved to try and take one of the older one's hands, "Really?" Excitement simply radiated from him, and he tried to tug the woman out the door and towards the supplies. Coloring certainly was fun! Much more fun than sitting on the top of a bookshelf staring at a wall!
