(( Waha, copying and pasting. XP ))
Take the wand everywhere with you. Don't let the whisp blow away, wait until it becomes a child. Right.
"Oh, well, thank you," she said as she was offered to be shown the headquarters.
Well, it certainly didn't look like the shop held all of this. The three females were in complete awe as they crossed the portal into the headquarters.
"Didn't look this big from the outside."
"Most certainly not," Elysia agreed as she took to wandering around, exploring things. "It's very big here."
Celina's eyes grew slightly round as she spied what children were so adpt to spying. Toys! Squirming and letting out a whine, she let her mother know that she wanted town. She wanted to play with the toys!
"What's wrong, baby?" She looked at her daughter, then followed her gaze to the box. Looking back at the woman, she tilted her head towards the box in question. "Would you mind if she went to play?"

"Not at all, that's what they're there for...." Ianna answered, sitting herself down on her desk and looking at the three in the headquarters, "The place doesn't look big because it isn't. We're not in Gaia any more right now."
She cracked a smile, wondering what kind of reaction that would warrent.

Aiko was setting Celina down when she heard the statement and whirled back around, sandy brown hair whirling almost perfectly with her.
"Eeeeuh, hontou ni? Atashi-tachi doko ka?" If it wasn't aparent before that this woman was Japanese, it was now. She had a bad habit of slipping into her native tongue when she was startled.
Elysia sighed and walked up behind Aiko, setting a hand on her shoulder.
"What Lady here is trying to say is where are we?" It was a question asked without too much worry. Elysia was, after all, a winged creature and could easily get back home with Aiko and Celina in tow. However, she doubted this would be needed, as it was obvious this woman and her child would need to get back somehow as well.
Celina, as children have a habit of doing, dashed over to the toybox and happily dug in, not much hearing what was going on. Then again, she had only heard her 'mother' say something in Japanese, and the girl hadn't learned the language. Yet.

"My daughter created a pocket realm. It's only entrances, that I know if, are in this room. One for my daughter, and one is the one we just walked through. Don't worry," she assured at the look on Aiko's face, "It's easy to work through, people do it all the time. But it's...safe this way."
She shrugged her shoulders and looked at the child playing with the toys, a smile on her lips, "Reminds me of Coailiann when she was young."
Coailiann perked, "Mmm?"
"Nothing, dear."

Celina had found a puzzle that probably toteled about twenty pieces all together, and had poured them on the floor and started putting it together.
Elysia nodded. That explained it then.
Not understanding much about pocket realms, Aiko grinned over at the newer (couldn't say newest anymore!) addition to her family.
"This is the fourth time I've been through this. I have a rather large family of my own." She was silent for amoment, remembering her other children when they were that small. They grow up so fast... "Oh, where are my manners?" She turned back to Ianna and bowed very traditionally. "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Tenoh Aiko. This is Elysia, my 'Guardian Angel', and the little one over there is Celina. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu."
Elysia, though not Japanese, bowed the same way. She'd learned a lot in her past year and a half living with the woman.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," she translated.

"A pleasure to meet you. I'm Ianna, that's Coailiann...Or Kay, either one." Ianna nodded towards the sidhe girl now occupied on the couch with one of her disney movies. The sidhe raised her hand, gave a wave, and went back to watching Mickey Mouse.
"I don't have too big a family. I have four children, two by my...Well, boyfriend?" she looked confused for a moment, "Anyway, they're his. Coailiann and her eldest sister, Matilda by...wands."

She nodded slightly, then chuckled.
"I know all there is to know about large families. In fact, with the addition of Celina, we've outgrown our house."
"And not to be rude," Elysia said as she cleared her throat, "but we need to continue house hunting." She shook her finger. "No more side tracks that end up with more family members!"
"Ara ara." Aiko slapped her forehead. "It's very hot outside." Of course, she wasn't dressing the part, as she was wearing a rather bulky jacket and long pants.
Celina quickly put the puzzle together and smiled at the picture of the pony that seemed to smile back, then blinked up and started watching the Disney movie.

"You can get some bottles of water from the little fridge if you'd like. It was nice meeting you and perhaps you'll return. Little one needs to interact with those of her kind, after all."
Ianna indicated to the mini fridge before sliding off the desk and walking towards the couch.

"Much appreciated, and of course I'll be back." Aiko nodded as she crossed the floor to the fridge, retrieving a cool bottled water. She stared at it for a moment.
'Those her kind'... Well, this certainly will be interesting.
Parenthood always was.
"Come on, Celina, we need to go."
Celina looked up at Aiko and pouted a little, but luckily, she was one of the more obedient children, and she cleaned up the puzzle mess before dashing over to her mother, who scooped her up into her arms.
"It's been nice meeting you. Both of you." Elysia nodded at Ianna.

"Bye!" Coailiann said, obviously uninterested in the leaving people and focused on the video that was playing on the large television screen. Ianna rolled her eyes at her child's rudeness and made a mental note to talk to her about it later.
"Be safe. You exit the same way you entered.

"Thank you." The hanyou smiled warmly as she walked toward the portal, wand in one of her hands that held Celina upright.
"Good bye," Celina said, waving her tiny hand.
Aiko looked at her and closed one eye.
"And in Japanese?"
"Ja ne, because sayonara is for a very very long goodbye."
"Good girl. Ja, Ianna."
Elysia smiled her own farwell as she followed her Lady with a sigh. Nigel will be thrilled to learn that Aiko had come home with yet another addition to the family.
