The Finding
Kay, Elina & Taylor and Diacyn Kyrianna A day later, after two of the other wands had been found and claimed, Coailiann was yet again stuck behind the desk while her mother was out of realm taking care of her elder sister.
Really, four wands at once really took a toll on the Ancient and Coailiann didn't blame her much, either. Having one piece of her soul had to be bad, but four at once?
That couldn't have been good.
Still, Kay was incredibly bored and had taken to trying to open the giant book. It didn't work very well. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina was fiddling with her messenger bag while walking on the crowded street, not paying attention to where she was going. Where was that darn notepad... Aha! Grinning as she brought it out, the dark-haired girl paused, did she take a wrong turn?
Glancing around her, Elina did a full circle and groaned. Just great... She had no idea where she was! Chewing on her lip, she walked a bit further and paused before a shop. It peeked her curiosity for some strange reason, and of course she was unable to supress the urge to check it out.
Stepping into the shop, Elina looked for anyone inside. Tentively, she called out, "Hello...?" Walking in further, she caught sight of a door. Now just where did that lead to? Tugging on it, she opened the door and poked her head in, calling out again, though softer this time, "Anyone here?" Maybe she shouldn't have intruded... Lupe_Oceana "For the eighty-seventh time, no. You can't have a sword!"
"But Iamel's getting me ninja stars for Christmas... why can't I get a sword too?"
"Because I said NO! I don't care if you're nearly as old as I am, I'm still your mother and I don't want you waving dangerous pointy things around."
The first speaker was a young girl, around 19, with a loud, sharp voice, pale features, and shaggy brown hair. She was wearing a grey hoodie and clutching an enormous pile of textbooks. The second one, who was still muttering about swords under his breath, was a muscular, bald teenager with tribal tattoos and snowy white wings. These were Taylor and Diacyn, and they made a strange sight walking down the sidewalk, arguing at the top of their lungs.
"Ooh! What's this?" Diacyn's golden eyes went wide as he spotted a sign: The Wand Shoppe. "Wands?"
"What, like magic wands?" Taylor raised an eyebrow, her voice distainful. "That's dumb."
"I want to look," Diacyn muttered, stepping past her and striding boldly into the store. Taylor sighed, rolled her eyes, and followed her adoptive "son" into the room.
It was dull and dusty inside, not the bright, sparkly, glitter-laden fiasco she'd imagined when she'd seen the sign. In fact, the place was on the verge of falling apart. And it seemed empty.
Wait- no, there was another girl there too. Taylor gave her a smile before looking around the shop, her nose wrinkled in disgust. "What's the deal with this place, anyway?" Kyrianna "I'm here!" Kay called. Goodie! Boredom would be alleviated and she could finally stop trying to do the impossible and open the book when she wasn't a guardian or her mother.
And ahh... a second person? Well, this would make her job so much easier! They both had to be guardians. Nobody ELSE came in the shop, lately. Now, the question was which was which and how would she...Oh. Wait. There were three people in there?
Great. Make her job harder!
"The deal? It's just my mom's shop." To play a bit or get to the point? Well, it was always amusing to see people's reactions.
"Do you like books?" It was a general question, to all three. Fantasy_Rocks13 Loud voices suddenly caught Elina's attention. Turning, her gaze fell upon an odd pair entering the shop. They sure were noisy... And different. Though being different didn't surprise Elina as much. Gaia was a diverse place.
But when another voice voice spoke out, Elina looked back. "Oh!" she squeaked, surprised that someone was actually in the shop. Making room, Elina scooted to the side next to the pale girl and winged boy. There was something different about the shop... But what she couldn't quite figure out, exactly. And the child only made her question the oddness of the shop even more.
At the question, the bespeckled girl grinned. "Oh I love books!" she said, her hands clutching the notepad to her chest. The child was so cute! "What's your name?" Elina inquired, always wearing a smile. Lupe_Oceana "Your mom runs a magic wand shop?" Taylor muttered, casting another glance around the dusty corners. "Okay then. What's she doing leaving you here alone?"
But the girl's next question made her smile. "Books? What do you think?" she said, nodding towards the pile in her arms. "Can't seem to get away from them, really."
"Books are for wimps," Diacyn growled, rummaging among the shelves. There was a loud crash as he knocked a pile of boxes to the floor. The winged boy shrugged and ignored the mess. "No point in reading, really. What's in here?" He started to open a box but stopped as Taylor shot him an icy glare. Kyrianna "She's taking care of my sister," Coailiann said, leaving out the fact that her sister's soul had been ripped apart. They didn't need to know that, "So she left me in charge."
The girl hopped off her stool and went over to them, sending a glare over toward Diacyn when he knocked over wands. Now SHE had to pick them up? Harumphing she picked the dusty boxes up and put them on the highest shelf she could reach.
Coailiann really did NOT look her age and she hated it. Way too short for her liking, in any case. "Just stuff."
After she had finished the sidhe turned to look at Elina, "My name is Coailiann, but you can call me Kay. Everyone else does." Now it was up to her to figure out which would touch the book first. Considering Elina seemed more excited and easily swayed, she turned on the charm, "Can you come look at my big book over here?" Fantasy_Rocks13 It took Elina all of her willpower not to say something to Diacyn as he knocked down some books. Precious books, how dare he! But she kept silent, seething as her smile faded. Oh yes, she thought there was nothing better than a nice thick book and a comfy place to read it. And anyone who thought differently obviously knew nothing.
Elina's anger soon melted away though as Coailiann introduced herself. "Oh well it's a pleasure to meet you Kay," she returned, a smile creeping back onto her bright face. "Of course, I'd love to!" Elina said, glancing at the book Kay mentioned. Wow, it was awfully big! Lupe_Oceana Diacyn returned "Kay's" glare with equal force. As the young girl placed the boxes back on the shelf, he took them right off and put them as high as he could reach. Take that! This, unfortunately, was only one shelf higher then Kay could reach, but it was the thought that counted. He remained oblivious to Elina's angry looks- he got enough of those at home from Taylor, so he was good at ignoring them.
"Hello, Kay," Taylor said, shifting her grip on her pile 'o' books so she could look over Elina's shoulder at the larger tome. "Cool. What's it about?"

Bordem Strikes Again!
Elina & Christine and William Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina was sitting on the outskirts of Barton, all bundled up. The weather hadn't cleared yet, and it was still cold. Too cold for the girl's liking. But it was better than being cooped up in her home for days on end. While she was a bit of a home-body, she didn't like being bored out of her mind.
So sitting out alone, she read one of her numerous books she hadn't read for awhile. It was like becoming reunited with an old friend, one she couldn't let go of. As she read, she had her wand sitting in her lap. She fingered it and glanced down at it. It'd been awhile since she'd received it... Granted she hadn't interacted with many other wand-holders, but she'd been busy; just like the other people. eternaldelusion "I'M HARRY POTTAAH!" "Chrissy, cut it out," William said tiredly, and a little boredly. He knew she wouldn't stop anyway, "You should really stop waving it around like that. The little blond girl cackled and pointed it at a random person, namely Elina, "AVADA KADABRA!" Billy sighed and took the odd, permanately damp wand from her, "Enough." "Gawd, Pops, you're boring..." William sighed and let her hand slip out of his, looking down at the wand with a frown on his face. He was going to keep it out of her reach from now on... "C'mon, Chrissy, let's go get some...Christine?" he blinked and looked around to see her strutting over to the woman she'd pointed the wand at before. Fantasy_Rocks13 She let out a squeak at the sudden noise, not expecting anyone to be as crazy as her out in the cold weather. Elina tightened her grip on the book and even held onto her wand, but she couldn't help but laugh at the girl who'd 'cursed' her. Looking up at her, the girl named Christine, Elina grinned. "I'd say 'hi', but I think I'm supposed to be dead now." eternaldelusion "Nah, it's ok, you can be alive. Dad's being a butt," Christine said, pulling a face, and pulling herself up to sit next to Elina, "What'cha readin'?" Billy sighed, rolled his eyes, and moved over, shaking his head slowly, and holding the wand protectively, but tapping it lightly against his palm, "Sorry...she's friendly," he said in his Aussie accent, clearing his throat lightly. He hated how out of place he sounded here. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina grinned and replied, "Ah, I see. Well that's what they do best!" At the question, she showed the book to Christine, "Just an old series I started up again; I'll probably finish it soon."
She looked up at the man and chuckled, "Oh it's no problem. Wish I could be as friendly as she is!" Of course, friendly hardly described the girl, she was very outgoing, something Elina never was. eternaldelusion "What's it about? Wizards? Elves? Unicorns?" Christine asked excitedly, peering at the book curiously and kicking her feet. Billy stopped in front of Erina, "Friendly is one word for it," he said, chuckling, then offering a hand, "My names William." Fantasy_Rocks13 "A little of both," Elina replied with a chuckle. "Traitorous people, internal wars and the like. Wonderful series."
She took William's offered hand and shook it, "Pleasure to meet you William. I'm Elina. And I'm guessing she's Christine?" eternaldelusion Billy smiled and nodded, "Yup, that's my spawn." Christine grinned and stuck her tongue out, then settled back, "I like the name Elina." Fantasy_Rocks13 Again, she laughed. "Well thank you, I rather like it myself too. What are you two doing out here? It's rather cold, isn't it?" Of course, they could ask the same for her. She hated the cold, yet was outside. eternaldelusion "SOMEBODY demanded sherbert icecream." Surprisingly, this came from Christine, and not William, who shuffled his feet and rubbed the back of his neck, "Not my fault the car wouldn't start..." Christine shook her head and 'tsk'ed, then blinked, "Hey, you have a wand too!" Fantasy_Rocks13 "Oh I see. Well then I guess he loves ice cream; because ice cream lovers don't care how cold it is, they'll eat ice cream anyway," Elina said with agrin as she glanced up at William.
But at the exclamation about her having a wand, Elina blinked in surprise. "Yeah, I do. Wow, your's looks so different than mine!" eternaldelusion "Our's is kinda sticky..." Christine said, looking at it, where William was still holding it, and he looked down at it too. "Your's is cleaner too," he said, chuckling. Fantasy_Rocks13 Again, Elina giggled. "Ah well, it happens!" she said, her eyes dancing as she looked at their wand. "Nothing a good wipe-down can't handle." eternaldelusion "That's the odd thing, I clean it daily, and every morning it's like this again." He shook his head, "I gave up. Your's is very nice though." Fantasy_Rocks13 "Hm, that is weird," she murmured, eyeing their wand a bit more. "Maybe it's just the spirit inside that keeps doing that," she suggested with a shrug. "Thanks, it does stay awfully clean. But I try to take care of it as best I can." eternaldelusion "It's shiny," christine said, grinning, "Ours just looks like a wet stick.." William frownd and stroked it lightly, then tried to play it off like he was wiping something off. Fantasy_Rocks13 "I don' think that's going to help much, William," Elina said with another giggle as he tried to wipe it. "Shiny? I suppose that's one way to describe it!" They were such nice people! Why hadn't she met them before? eternaldelusion William blushed in an embarassed way, pouting a bit and just holding the wand now. Christine snickered, and looked from one to the other, "You should play Harry Potter with me." Fantasy_Rocks13 Again, she laughed at William. He looked silly, blushing and pouting at the same time. "Play Harry Potter with you? Why that sounds like fun! I'm afraid my wand's not a proper wizarding wand though!" eternaldelusion "That's ok!" She hopped down and tried to grab the wand, but William held it up. She whined and tried to jump for it, "Come ooooon, I wanna plaaaaay." "You're not allowed to play with it." She huffed and crossed her arms, turning to Elina. Fantasy_Rocks13 These two were just too funny! "Oh, and why isn't she allowed to play? It's not as if she's going to hurt it. It looks pretty sturdy to me!" Elina said, smiling charmingly. "Pretty please?" eternaldelusion William sighed and hesitantly handed it to his daughter, " Fine, but if it gets broken, young lady, you will be in SO much trouble. I'm not kidding." "Ok, ok, geez. I'll be gentle." Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina grinned. "You're such a softie!" she teased William. "Though there's nothing wrong with it!" Except that he may be pushed by his daughter or Elina again in the future. eternaldelusion William pouted, "I'm just a softie when it comes to women," it almost sounded like he was teasing back. Chrissy cackled and waved the wand, "Voldemort is no match for Chrissy and her Trent-wand!" Fantasy_Rocks13 "Oh really? Is that some sort of once-in-a-lifetime confession I should record?" she asked airly, though she smirked as she inquired.
"Oh my! Are we truly in the midst of the great Chrissy?" Elina gasped, though it was over-dramatic. But it was fun anyway! eternaldelusion "Possibly. Not that I'll say it again," William said, shrugging and grinning lightly, rubbing his arm. "Yes, yes you are," Chrissy posed, puffing out her little chest and holding her head high and proud. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina merely laughed. He really was quite entertaining.
"All hail the great Chrissy!" she said, curstying. "Do you dare to offend the mighty Chrissy, William?" eternaldelusion "Oh, I dare." Chrissy pouted and poked him with the wand, "Daaaddy!" He sighed, "Fiiine. No, I don't dare offend the great Chrissy. Hurrah hurrah, power to the short thing, and all that." Fantasy_Rocks13 She smirked, that was better! "What shall we do to please the great Chrissy? Maybe Sir William here shall... dance?" Elina suggested innocently enough.

She sells sea shells
Elina & Christine and William eternaldelusion Chrissy stood up to her ankles in the ocean, giggling as the waves washed up. She continued walking, looking intently for sea shells, but kept looking up to her father, who was stretched out on a towel, leg bent, and arm over his eyes. She looked further along the beach, then gasped and ran, hurrying over to something like blue, and resembling jelly. Jelly fish! She crouched next to it, picking up a wet twig and poking it. It was already dead, but she knew better than to touch it. She frowned, looking up, then sighing. When was she gonna get here?! Elina was supposed to be meeting them there. She blinked, not having noticed so many of these people turn up. Someone came running over, to try and a football, and she screeched at him. He narrowly avoided her and the jellyfish, and she glared at him, then went back to looking for any sign of Elina. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina took a deep breath as she came close to the sea. Ahh... salty air. Beautiful! Gathering up her usual large bag, probably filled with just about anything and everything, she hefted it over her shoulder and started over towards the beach.
Once she was at the place where the sand began, Elina removed her sandals, wriggling her toes in the hot sand. How long had it been since she'd last been to a beach? A year? Or was it two? Either way it was good to be back!
It was about then that she heard a screech which sounded remarkably like Chrissy. And lo and behold it was! "Chrissy!" she called out, hurrying over - or at least hurrying as fast as he could with a huge bag. eternaldelusion Chrissy looked over, then let out a gleeful noise, running over and attached to Elina's leg. "What took you so long? I was waiting FOREVER! Look, look, I found a jellyfish!" She said, pointing, "Leave your stuff with Daddy and come poke it with me!" She sounded incredibly excited. She was glad to have a lady around! She didn't get to spend time with girls often. Fantasy_Rocks13 She laughed as Chrissy suddenly became glued to her leg. "Well hello there!" she giggled. "I'm sorry I took so long, I had a lot of stuff to pack! And okay, I'll be right back!" Elina was still chuckling as she went over to Will to leave her stuff. "Comfy?" she asked, grinning at him on the towl. eternaldelusion Will moved his arm, then grinned up at her, one eye shut against the sun. "Very. Gonna join me?" He sat up, then noticed Chrissy looking impatient, "Huh. Looks like you made other plans?" he asked, chuckling and looking back up at Elina. Fantasy_Rocks13 "I would but... It seems your daughter wants to show me something," Elina replied, plopping her stuff beside Will. "If you want, I think there's an umbrella in there. I don't think you would sport a sunburn very well," she teased. eternaldelusion Will laughed, and lay back down, "No thanks. Working on my tan, I'm too pale," he said, sticking his tongue, "Go have fun. I have beers for when she exhausts you." Fantasy_Rocks13 "Uh huh... Well, just don't get sunburnt!" Elina said, smiling as she made a face at him.
She hurried back over to Chrissy, "Okay now what is it that you wanted to show me, hm?" eternaldelusion "It's a jellyfish!" She said excitedly, hurrying back over to it, and picking up the stick again, lifting one of it's tentacles, "These look sooooo cool when they're under the water!" Fantasy_Rocks13 "A jellyfish? Oh how cool!" Elina gasped, following Chrissy to said sea creature. "It looks weird, huh? I saw one of these last time I went to a beach. You're right - they are cool!"

Baby + claws = flaw in design?
Elina, Christine, William, & Trent Fantasy_Rocks13 As soon as the sun filtered through Elina's windows, the young woman was busy cleaning. For some reason, she had the irresistable urge to clean the house and redecorate a bedroom. So, as soon as she had woken up, it was cleaning time!
A guest, or two, were coming over soon. So that was just another reason for Elina to start her belated spring cleaning. She had no idea when exactly her guests were to arrive, but she had a feeling they'd come when she was the most into her cleaning. And when her hands would be full. It always happened like that. eternaldelusion Billy walked up to Elina's door, Trent in his arms, and Chrissy trotting barefoot beside him. He got to the door, and knocked, looking down at the girl, who was grinning, and knocked as well. She was eager to see Elina again, he adored having the woman around. You know, only female influence she really got, and they hadn't spent that much time together! It made Billy happy. He looked down at Trent, who was asleep, all six limbs curled to his chest, his hands over his pincers. Billy wanted to put a blanket on him, but he knew that only made the baby uncomfortable and cranky. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina paused in her work when she heard the knock. Of course, right when she had a heavy box in her hands. Blowing back a few stray strands of hair, she called out, "Be right there!" With some difficulty, Elina set the box down carefully and hurried to answer the door.
She was pretty dusty when she opened the door, but had a bright smile on her face. Cleaning felt pretty good actually, not like a chore for once! "Oh hey you guys! You finally showed up!" she said teasingly. "Who's this?" she asked, gazing at the child in Billy's arms. "Is that... wait... the wand!?" eternaldelusion Billy grinned, and nodded, "Yeah. Freaky look, ain't he?" he said, shifting a bit so she could get a better look, "His names Trent." Chrissy was in a most blissful mood, and skipped in a circle around Elina, singing. "I have a baby brooother, I have a baby broooother. And he is all fiiiishy. And he pinches Daaaaddy." Billy cleared his throat, then looked to Elina again, "But yeah, I thought you might like the meet the little fiend, so you know what you might be in for," he said, grinning again. Fantasy_Rocks13 "He's not all that bad looking..." she said, gazing at Trent curiously. He sure did look odd at least... Elina laughed as Chrissy pranced around the older female. "Oh Trent pinches Daddy, huh? I bet that's because Daddy deserves it," Elina teased, smirking at poor Billy.
She quirked an eyebrow at him though when he mentioned 'what she might be in for'. "Do you really think they'll all be so bad? And I doubt little Trent really is such a terrible fiend as you make him out to be. He looks rather sweet sleeping." eternaldelusion Chrissy grinned and nodded, "He pinched his leg, and Daddy squealed like a girl!" Billy looked embarassed at that. "It hurt...it broke the skin!" "And it was only a little pinch," she said, grinning and pretending to pinch Elina's leg with both hands. "Pinch pinch pinch." Billy sighed, but smiled, "He's actually a right sweetie most of the time. Nice and calm. Not like certain little monsters I won't mention the name of," he said, pointedly. Chrissy just beamed. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina laughed. Ah, poor Billy! He just wasn't going to get a break, was he? "Well at least he's good most of the time. Maybe he can protect you from this other 'little monster' that you speak of," she giggled.
When Chrissy started to pinch Elina, the woman pretended to be scared. "Oh no! What's pinching at me? I bet it's a big, scary crab! Or maybe a lobster! Maybe I can catch and eat it for dinner!" she said, going after Chrissy, pinching right back at the girl. eternaldelusion "I think they're already starting to team up," Billy said, but smiled, shifting the kraken boy in his arms as he started to stir, his little chubby fingers flexing a little. Chrissy cried out, then laughed and bounced out of reach for a moment, "Rar, I'm too big for you to catch!" she bounced back forward and continued her 'pinch attack', grinning widely. Billy laughed, shaking his head. What a nutter. The both of them, but it was so very fun to watch. Fantasy_Rocks13 "You better prepare yourself!" Elina cried, giggling as she squealed and chased Chrissy into the house with her own pinching attack. Her exclamation could have been for Chrissy. Or Billy. Or maybe both; who knew? eternaldelusion Chrissy gave something between a scream and a laugh as she ran into the house, and Billy followed, laughing. He shut the door behind him, and Trent was wide away now, staring around with wide eyes. This definately wasn't where he'd fallen asleep. He started to fuss, wanting to be back in his tank. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina paused in her chasing after Chrissy when she heard crying. She scooted over towards Billy. "Oops... Guess we should have been quieter, huh?" she said, gazing at the fussing child. "Aww... I'm sorry Trent; I didn't mean to wake you up." eternaldelusion Trent quieted down when Elina appeared, and stared at her with wide eyes, sniffing softly, one fist coming up to hide part of his face. Billy chuckled, looking down at him, "Don't worry about it, he got plenty of sleep." Chrissy moved over to them, getting on tip-toes to try and get a better look. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina smiled sweetly when little Trent covered up part of his face. "Aww, he's so cute!" In an odd... monster sense. Kind of like Hagrid in the Harry Potter books, how he always found monsters to be utterly adorable. Something like that at least. "But still, I'm sure he would have liked to sleep more!" eternaldelusion Trent whined, hiding his face behind his claws shyly. Billy grinned, laughing softly, "Yeah, he probably would have." And monsters are always the cutest. Obviously. Chrissy bounced a little, speaking up, "We should put him in the bathtub, that'll make him happy again!" Fantasy_Rocks13 The young woman glanced down at Chrissy. "Bathtub you say? Well... I haven't cleaned it yet; I suppose it'd be alright," she said, smiling. "So long as Billy doesn't mind; or Trent. Though I doubt he will!" eternaldelusion Chrissy grinned, "You should see him! He zips around soooo fast in the water, it's funny!" she said, bouncing and tugging on Billy's arm, "Come one, Daddy, come on." Billy chuckled, shaking her off, "Alright." He looked to Elina, "And the best part is I don't have to keep an eye on him. He's safer in the water, than out of it." Fantasy_Rocks13 "Oh well that's good!" she chuckled, leading the way to the tub. "Safer in the water? Really? Why is s that?" Elina asked. "Is he a natural swimmer?" Which... would make sense seeing as Trent was a sea monster afterall. eternaldelusion "Well, yeah, he is. Plus he can breath underwater, and he seems to enjoy himself. A lot. He sleeps in a big fishtank," he said, chuckling, "If he doesn't sleep in there, he has trouble breathing occasionally," he said, sighing. Once they got there, Trent recognized the tub as something with water, and seemed a little happier. Fantasy_Rocks13 "Oh that's so cool!" Elina exclaimed, grinning. "I wish I could breathe underwater," she said as she filled up the tub for Trent. Upon seeing the little boy look happier, Elina laughed. "Well at least he can recognize the tub!" eternaldelusion When it was full, Billy moved over and knealt down to put him, but Trent rolled and flopped in. Billy cried out and went to reach for him, but he was fine, and darted from one end, using his two, non-clawed sets of arms, the clawed ones down against his belly, out of the way. Billy sighed, putting a hand to his head, "I wish he wouldn't do that, it freaks me right the hell out." Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina gasped when Trent ind of fell into the tub. But then she laughed when the child began to swim around. "I guess he really does like the water better, huh?" she asked, giggling as Billy sighed. eternaldelusion Trent swim in a circle, then surface and rolled onto his back, curling his arms in, like he did was he was sleeping. He floated there, watching them, and Chrissy took hold of his ankle gently, and spun him in a circle. Billy gave her an odd look, then laughed, before looked at Elina, "Yeah, he's in love with the water. Unless he's hungry, water is all it takes to make him stop crying. It's great, a lot easier than last time." Fantasy_Rocks13 The young woman smiled, watching Trent enjoy the water. "I like the water too, but I think little Trent beats me in liking the water more," she giggled. "And it's good that you have such an easy baby-sitter! Just put him in a tank and it's good to go, right?" eternaldelusion Billy nodded, smiling, "Yeah. Especially now that there's one of those bubble makers in there. He loves playing with it." "We sat there for hours watching him snap at them," Chrissy interjected, snickering and splashing Trent, who seemed to rather enjoy it. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina grinned. "Well at least it seems like you guys interact well with him," she chuckled, watching Chrissy splash Trent. "And he doesn't seem all that bad! I hope the child who emerges from my wand is as good," she mumbled, touching the wand she had in the holster she had found among her knick-knacks a few weeks ago. Surprisingly enough, it held the wand perfectly at her side, so she used it to carry the wand around.

Wand to Baby Quest After Elina's guests had left for the day, she figured it was time to get back to work. There was still so much cleaning to be done! She had only finished a couple of rooms. There was still the spare bedroom and her dining room/art room to deal with. Letting out a sigh, Elina returned to cleaning the rest of the house. Boxes were filled with unnecessary items to be stored away and furniture was rearranged. Elina would later take the boxes to a storage unit later. She had a feeling that she would need a room cleared out. Her wand had been feeling different to her; almost restless. So Elina took that as a sign to prepare for a child to emerge from it soon. Which mean a lot of rearranging of her cluttered home. After a few hours of cleaning and moving boxes around, exhaustion took over. Elina needed to sleep and her bed was looking so inviting. Even if half of it was covered in things she had to move later. Either way, it was time to go to sleep and she would continue the next day. Bright and early Elina woke up and left to go buy some new furniture for the room she had cleared out. A new day gave her the energy she needed to finish what she had started the other night. She still had a ways to go to make the room feel all nice and warm. To make the room feel all warm and inviting, she had to get a crib, toys, pictures, and whatnot. It was hard not to get too much; there were just so many choices! But she returned home with just enough for the room. And if she needed more well... she knew exactly where to go. Now the next dilemma Elina had to face was how to arrange everything in the room! That took a few hours to do since everything got rearranged at least three times. But eventually everything was found a place. The crib was under the window with a small bedside table beside it. A wardrobe was on the adjacent wall and a soft, cushy, chair was put near the crib. The other knick-knacks Elina bought were organized around the room, though they probably wouldn't stay organized for long. The walls were still rather bare compared to the rest of the room, but Elina planned on filling them in as the child grew. After all, what was the use of filling them with random pictures the child might not like them? No, the young woman chose to fill the walls with memories later. Once Elina was pleased with how the room was arranged, she flopped herself into the chair and wiped some stray strands of hair from her face. "Finally," she murmured, sighing happily, it was done. But thenl she realized something. "Oh! I forgot something!" Elina exclaimed, bounding out of the chair. She hurried to one of bags she had used to carry in everything she had bought. After some rummaging, the dark-haired girl brought out a plushie of a red and yellow dragon, similar to the luck dragons found in Asian cultures. With a smile, she placed it into the crib by the little pillow. "There, now it's perfect," she said, pleased. Now all that was left for Elina to do was wait and see if this is what the child within the wand had wanted her to do.  Word Count: 578

The First Meeting It had been a few days since Elina had cleaned up her house to make the wand's room ready. She had left the wand in the cradle, working on different projects in and out of the house. The young woman was returning home when something felt... different to her as she stepped into her house. She put down her stuff and checked around the house. The kitchen looked fine... so did the living room, family room. Elina checked in her room, but nothing was wrong there. That left only one room. She hurried in and looked into the wand's room. A delighted squeal came out of Elina when she saw what was in the cradle. Her baby! He looked up at her with bright crimson eyes. Elina's loud squeal didn't seem to perturb him in the least. He was cuddling the little dragon toy Elina had left in the bed and had some incense sticks burning beside his cradle. Elina came beside the cradle and picked up her baby, grinning from ear to ear. "Oh well look at you! You've finally decided to show yourself, hm?" The infant gave her a tentative smile and cuddled up to Elina. It seemed he recognized Elina and was content to fall asleep in her embrace. She was thankful he wasn't being loud; maybe he would be a quiet child. She'd like that! Elina had never cared for a child before and the easier, the better in her mind. As he was falling asleep, Elina walked over and sat in the rocking chair she had put by the window. She began to rock back and forth, trying to think of a proper name for her little boy. He didn't seem special but... with how his wand looked, he had something to do with dragons, right? At least he wasn't quite as... different looking as Trent. "Well since you seem to like blue, how about Jiang? It means river you know," Elina said softly. The baby cuddled against Elina even more, his dragon plushie being used as pillow. "I'll take that as a yes," she chuckled. "Jiang Song, I rather like it," Elina murmured as she rocked Jiang. She had nothing important to do after all. And she wanted to bond with Jiang. And what better way than to rock him to sleep for now since... that's what he seemed to want to do for the time being. Word Count: 403

Jiang & Trent's First Meeting
Elina, Jiang, William, & Trent eternaldelusion ((Rp post for Fanta :3 )) Billy had come to the headquarters for the first time, and stood in the lobby, looking around dubiously, with an irritated little crab boy in his arms. As Trent had become more mobile, now being able to crawl at a speed that caused Billy much stress, he had become less fond of being carried everywhere. And now that he was at a new place, there were places to explore, and things to try, some of which may even be edible, he wanted down. Billy scanned the lobby quickly, then spotted what appeared to be a play area, and carried the squirming baby over, putting him down. Immediately, Trent went over to the nearest, unidentified object, and sat down, pulling at it. Billy crouched down next to him, sighing. "Where is she? I hate getting places early..."Fantasy_Rocks13 ((Thankies Edu heart )) As usual, it seemed Elina was late getting to the headquarters. Last time she had come, it had not been on purpose so now that she actually had to find it, she was having trouble. Eventually Elina did find her way, after much fretting of course. Once she found the headquarters though, she sighed in relief and walked in. It didn't take her long to find her friends. "Billy!" she exclaimed, grinning. "Sorry I'm late - this place was harder to find than last time!"
Jiang was curled up in Elina's arm, looking rather bored as he looked at Billy, then Trent. His crimson gaze paused at Trent though, interested by the oddness of his appearance. All Jiang had ever seen were 'normal' looking people, so it's no wonder he took an interest in Trent and all of his crab-ness.eternaldelusion ((Nu problem :3)) Billy looked up, and grinned, standing up. "Its ok, I haven't been here long, anyway." He looked to Jiang, smiling, then back to Elina. "Thanks for showing up, though. Didn't really want to be here on my own, but I figured I'd need to check it out eventually. I have a distinct feeling I may be needing help with Trent sooner or later, so..."
Trent ignored them at first, but then he heard his name, and looked up, his hair falling infront of his eyes. He frowned, tilting his head back until he could see better, then looked at Jiang. Oh...it was him. He breathed heavily out of his nose, then lifted a claw and 'threw' it at the other baby in an angry way. This was HIS new toy, and the other boy wasn't allowed to have it.Fantasy_Rocks13 She chuckled, relieved. "Oh good, I was hoping you weren't waiting too long for me," Elina said, going over to put Jiang down to play with Trent. Or... hopefully play at least. Though by the looks of Trent, it wasn't going to happen. "So, how's Trent doing?" Elina inquired, once Jiang was set on the floor.
The babe frowned slightly at Trent. Why would he want to do anything with the toy that... thing had touched? No, instead Jiang crawled over and picked up another toy, a better toy in his mind, and waved it in front of Trent's face. That was now his toy. His alone. eternaldelusion He would've waited for ages, but he just chuckled and shook his head. "Trent? He's a little grumpy. Teething, and he's going through one of those 'mine' phases," he said, sighing and looking at the baby, who was hugging his toy protectively, staring at Jiang. "I'm hoping it doesn't last too long. He's usually so calm and quiet, now he's a cranky little bugger."
Trent watched Jiang, then gave an angry shriek. NO! That was his too! He abandoned the one he had, and crawled over, his claws smacking on the ground. It was one of his forms of 'baby intimidation'. He'd found out, at daycare, that some of the other babies didn't like the noise. Of course, he wasn't in daycare anymore, after an unfortunate nipping incident. Fantasy_Rocks13 "Grumpy, huh? Well that doesn't sound too pleasant," Elina winced as her point was made by Trent and his claws. And the shriek. "Mine stage, huh? And how long does it last?" she asked, hoping not very. Loudness was definitely not her style.
Jiang cried out as the ugly creature began to move towards him. He wailed, loudly and piercingly, hoping it'd make his guardian come over and pick him up. Up and away from that... that thing. That monster! He didn't wanna play with it! eternaldelusion "I have no idea. So Chrissy it started when she was two, and it still hasn't passed. Trent should be different, for the most part, he's a pretty level-headed kid. He's just in a little bit of hurt, so he's not the happiest little nipper."
That was very fortunate, because Trent didn't want to play either. He snapped his claw at the other boy, and that was Billy's que to intervene. He moved and picked Trent up, before Trent resorted to pinching. Trent squirmed, and kicked, making growling noises. He was gonna show that stupid thing who was boss! Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina sighed, making a face. "Well I do hope Trent is different. It wouldn't be very good for him and Jiang if Trent was to keep acting as he is," she said. But at the wails, she rolled her eyes. "And it also wouldn't be good for them if Jiang always decides he'd rather be held than to play," she grumbled, moving towards her charge to pick him up. But it seemed Billy got there first to keep the two from fighting.
Jiang pouted as Elina paused. So he wailed harder - and she came. Once he was comfortably in her arms with his toy, he smirked over at Trent, waving the toy some more to taunt him. Ha, he won! eternaldelusion "He'll grow out of it," Billy assured her, putting Trent on his hip, and pulling something out of his pocket. Of all things, he was a ziplock bag of shrimp. Trent glared at Jiang, but gasped, and clapped one set of hands, making happy noises as Billy opened the bag, and he caught whiff of the food. Billy chuckled, and gave him one. Trent waved it at Jiang tauntingly. He had food, and the other baby didn't. Ha ha ha. Fantasy_Rocks13 "I hope so," Elina replied with a giggle as Trent seemed to cheer up at the scent of food. "Oh he likes shrimp, huh?" she asked, smiling. She liked shrimp too - especially in jambalaya.
Jiang wrinkled up his face at the sight of the shrimp. And the happiness on the other baby's face, or... what he thought was supposed to be happiness. It was hard to tell on such a horrendous looking face - if it could even be called a face. So while the thing ate, Jiang tossed his toy at Trent, really, really hard. He hoped enough to knock the food from his grubby hands and claws. eternaldelusion "He likes most seafood." It was a constant source of amusement for Billy, as Trent was almost seafood himself. "Shrimp is his favorite right now, though. I think because its easier to--" he was cut off by the toy flying at Trent, hitting his claw (so thankfully not hurting him), but knocking the food out of his hand, to the ground.
Trent was stunned. He blinked at his hand, then leant to look down at where the toy, and the half-eaten shrimp lay. He blinked once, twice, then his face screwed up, and he started to cry. He knew if it landed on the floor, it was yucky to eat, which meant he was going to have to starve because stupidface had made it fall. Still crying, he made angry gestures at the other baby, "Nnnaah!" Billy winced, and fished in the bag for another shrimp.((Oh, Jiang xD)) Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina was about to reply when a toy went flying. "Jiang!" she gasped, scowling at the baby in her arms as Trent began to wail. "Jiang that was very bad of you!" Why in the world would her precious little charge do that!? They were supposed to be friends!
But Jiang didn't care. He was looking quite smug as Trent cried. Served the cannibal right, eating shrimps when he was almost a shrimp himself. Stupid creature. As Billy got another bag out though, Jiang pouted. Dang it, that wasn't fair! Now what was he supposed to toss to upset the thing again!?((Hehe. XD)) eternaldelusion And as Jiang pondered that, Trent threw his new shrimp at the pompous brat's face, not crying anymore, as his annoyance had taken over. When he got his hands on stupidface, he was going to pinch him until he was purple. He let out a surprised cry, however, as he was given a swat on the rear. It didn't hurt, but he knew he was in trouble, and instead sniffled, and hid his face in Billy's side. Billy sighed, then smiled weakly, "You can tell they're boys..." Fantasy_Rocks13 Jiang blinked as the shrimp bounced off of him and landed on the floor. Then he frowned at Trent and pouted in Elina's arms. This wasn't fair, that monster had to be taught a lesson. And Trent wasn't doing enough to punish the beastie.
Elina just sighed, exasperated. "I'm sorry Billy, I don't know what has gotten into Jiang! He hasn't done this before!" she said, worried. What had gotten into her little babe? He had never acted like this before! eternaldelusion Billy chuckled, "Its ok, Trent started it. Didn't you, you little bugger?" he said, poking the baby, who whined, and kept his face hidden. "And now he's sulking," he said, looking amused. He looked to Elina, and smiled, "Maybe we should go sit, and try to get them to calm down a little? Maybe they'll get along after that." Trent peeked out, his freaky colored eyes on Jiang, in an 'I'm watching you' kind of way. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina sighed and nodded at Billy's suggestion. "That works for me. I just want Jiang to have a friend and I was hoping that Trent would be his first," she said, sounding quite disappointed. But she followed Billy over to some seats, wondering if Jiang would behave.
Of course he wouldn't behave, not with the thing around. He did not like Trent at all. At the creature's look, Jiang gave an icey stare in return, as if saying 'I will kill you'. One day, the threat might come true; one day in the far and distant future. eternaldelusion "Ah, don't give up hope," Billy said, smiling and taking a seat, "They probably just met on a bad," he put Trent in his lap, and the baby slumped against him, huffing. Billy gave him the bag of shrimp, and he seemed to forget about everyone altogether, and started eating, making happy noises. Billy looked thoughtful for a moment, "We should get together another day, as well, when they're in better moods." Fantasy_Rocks13 "Perhaps... but still, maybe they just flat out don't get along," Elina said, fretting still. Jiang rested comfortably in Elina's lap, still clinging to her shirt as he eyed Trent eating. Bah, stupid creature. He did nothing though, figuring his guardian would not appreciate him being 'bad' while the playdate was still going on. Though it seemed to be more of a meeting of enemies.
"That sounds good - anything to try and make them see eye to eye," she replied, glancing at Jiang who had returned to being his usual, quiet self. Well, that was a good sign at least. eternaldelusion "Ah, don't be pessimistic," he said, chuckling, and pushing Trent's hair out of his face. "We just need to put them somewhere where they're comfortable. Where does Jiang like being?" he asked, and Trent kept eating, making quite 'nom' noises, his feet kicking a little. He was definately in a better mood, though he'd occasionally glance over at Jiang suspiciously. Fantasy_Rocks13 "Sorry..." she murmured, her gaze falling downcast. But at Billy's question, Elina pondered. "Well... he likes the water. He doesn't seem to swim as well as Trent, but he does like the water," she replied after a few moments of thinking. "So maybe at a lake or pool?"
Jiang huffed at Trent, making faces at him when he looked. He wanted to back home, where he had his own toys and good food. And where he didn't have to be forced to 'play' with the ugly creature. eternaldelusion Billy smiled, "That's perfect, Trent can't get any happier than he is when he's in the water. They have that in common, at least," he smiled, and bounced Trent slightly, making the boy giggle-snort. "So...whenever you're free, we could go to the pool. I'd say the lake, but Trent might slip away and it would take forever to find him." If they ever did. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina chuckled. "A pool it is then," she said, petting Jiang's hair. "It just hope the two won't create a tidal wave or something while they play." She giggled at the thought. "I'm free when you are. I don't have anything special planned for awhile."
The crimson-eyed infant scrunched up his nose as Trent continued to enjoy himself. Bah, how unfair. So Jiang turned over so he was cuddled up against Elina and dozed off for the time being. eternaldelusion Billy laughed, and shifted Trent in his lap, "Thankfully, my little nipper isn't capable of that," he could only imagine what would happen if he could. God, he'd have went carpets for years. He blinked as Trent lifted the empty bag, then took it, as the baby wiggled his way out of Billy's lap, to sit between the two of them, eyeing the sleeping Jiang, but not doing anything. Yet. Fantasy_Rocks13 "Oh well that's good. Now I just have to hope that Jiang doesn't get that kind of power. Or else I might as well move to the ocean where everything is damp anyway," she chuckled. Though the thought was rather disturbing that one little boy could wield so much magic. Now Elina really wished she and Jiang could learn more about his past. The unknown made her fret more than usual.
Jiang knew Trent was closer though, but continued to pretend to be asleep. Sneak attacks were the best afterall. eternaldelusion Billy looked a little unsure, "They keep getting...'powers'?" Well, crap. He looked to Trent, who was staring at Jiang now. "I don't even want to know what else he'll be able to do..." he was hoping that this was the extent of Trent's abilities, because anything more, and he might not be able to handle. Trent was still for a moment, then he tried to stick his last shrimp up Jiang's nose. Fantasy_Rocks13 "Well... to my understanding at least. But maybe I'm wrong," Elina said quickly, not wanting to be blamed for wrong information. Especially since she usually got her information wrong anyway...
Jiang wailed as the shrimp came near his face. Ewwww! He swatted at Trent and kicked out as well, throwing quite a temper-tantrum. Stupid creature! Jiang wanted to leave! Now! eternaldelusion "I hope you are," he said, smiling weakly. Then he sighed, "Trent, leave him alone!" he pulled Trent's hand away, "Honestly..." Trent huffed, then, as the shrimp had avoided the nose, he ate it, and glared at Jiang. Its not HIS fault stupidface was stupid. "I don't know why you're being so naughty, you little brat. He didn't do anything to you." Apart from existing. Fantasy_Rocks13 Jiang sniffled as Elina comforted him. But he still wasn't happy at all. "Come on Jiang, stop crying, please? He won't hurt you!" Or at least... she hoped not. It would not be good for them to hurt each other.
But Jiang didn't want to stop. Not until he was far, far away from that horrendous creature. eternaldelusion Trent felt kind of bad now...he didn't mean to hurt him, if thats what he did. Or make him sad. Maybe just annoy him a little. He shifted over, and reached up to try and pat his hair, to say he was sorry. Billy watched, and concerned look on his face. Yeah, this was definately going badly...he didn't want to assume that they'd never be friends, but they just weren't getting along at all.((-skitters off to take a shower-)) Fantasy_Rocks13 Jiang continued to wail, much to Elina's dismay. But when Trent gently patted him, he stopped, blinking over at the creature. He was shocked and surprised. That... thing had a heart? Feelings? He felt... sorry? Jiang just continued to blink at Trent, trying to process this new information, but failing to do so quickly.
Elina frowned, glancing between the two. She looked over at Billy, at a loss at what to do.((And now I poof to go visit friend. D: ))

X-Mas Decorating at Friend's
(RP over MSN)
Elina, Jiang, William, Chrissy & Trent eternaldelusion Billy's house was a christmas'y mess, the tree was up, the boxes of ornaments all over the livingroom. They were all sitting in there, and Billy was opening the first box. Trent had no clue what was happening, but was very interested in the tree. He was pulling at the branches, making pleased noises. He'd accidentally snipped a few branches off, but it didn't really matter. After a few moments of that, and after hearing the box open, then spun around, and power crawled over to the others, wanting to know what was going on. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina had given up decorating her house since it seemed Jiang wanted to know what everything was and wouldn't let her take anything before he touched it and played. She sighed and thought that maybe Jiang would behave more over at Billy's house. So taking him and whatever else he may need, Elina took him over to Billy's and knocked, hoping she wasn't interrupting anything. etneraldelusion Billy looked up, blinking. "Chrissy, go get the door honey." Chrissy hopped up, and ran into the entrance way, bare feet thudding on the floor. She opened the door eagerly, then beamed, "Hi Elina!" she stepped back so she could come in, "Hey Jiang. We're just about to start decorating the house for christmas, want to help?" she asked, looking excited. "Then we're gonna make a gingerbread house!" Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina grinned as she saw Chrissy. "Hi Chrissy! We'd love to help decorate! Maybe I'll have more luck decorating this place than my own," she chuckled. Jiang waved shyly to Chrissy, still unsure about the loud child. eternaldelusion Chrissy grinned at Jiang, and held her arms out, "Can I hold him? I'm getting really good at it now, I can even carry Trent upstairs." Fantasy_Rocks13 "Sure, just be careful. He's unpredictable at times," Elina said, handing Jiang off to Chrissy. He whined a little, unsure about this trade-off. eternaldelusion Chrissy shifted him so he was secure in her arms, then headed for the living room happily, "We're in here!" she sang out, leading the way. Billy could be heard chuckling. Fantasy_Rocks13 Jiang clung to Chrissy as if he was afraid he'd fall. Elina followed, smiling and waving to Billy. "Hey Billy. Hope you don't mind us dropping in like this," she said. "Are you having as difficult a time decorating as I was?" eternaldelusion Billy smiled at her, "I don't mind, the more the merrier." he lifted Trent up and away from the box as he tried to crawl in, and made an amused noise, "You could say I am, yeah. He's more interested in taste-testing everything, than putting it up. Chrissy put Jiang on the floor, then moved to open another box. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina giggled. "That sounds about the same. Jiang wanted to touch and play with everything rather then let me put them up," she said as she took a seat. Once Jiang was on the floor, he crawled over to Trent, poking the other child. eternaldelusion Trent jumped, then turned to see who was poking him. He made a loud, happy noise, and clung onto Jiang in a tight, four armed hug. He hadn't seen his weird-eyed little play buddy in so long! Billy watched them for a moment, "So you and Jiang want to help?" Billy asked, just confirming that thats what was happening. Fantasy_Rocks13 Jiang squeaked at the sudden hug, but he returned it - after he squirmed his arms free of Trent's embrace. Elina nodded in response to Billy's question. eternaldelusion Billy smiled and pulled out a box of baubles, "Want to help put them on, or hand them out?" he asked teasingly, shaking the box a little. Trent pulled away and sat back down heavily, giving a little baby laugh, before gesturing to the tree, making a 'nnn' noise, showing it to Jiang. Fantasy_Rocks13 Jiang blinked and looked at the tree for the first time, immediately starting to point and babble about it. Well it seemed he was interested in the tree. Which made Elina giggle. Maybe he would put the ornaments on it rather then roll them around like he had done with Elina. eternaldelusion Trent babbled right back at him, his voice rising in pitch as he got more excited. Jiang like his new...thing. That made him happy. He crawled over to it, then held up one of the pieces he'd accidentally snipped off earlier. Fantasy_Rocks13 Jiang followed after Trent, touching the end of the branch. It felt prickly! He grinned and pulled off a needle, poking Trent with it. "I take it Trent hasn't been very helpful, has he?" Elina asked, taking a seat beside Billy as she watched Jiang and Trent interact. eternaldelusion "Quite the opposite, actually. But he's enjoying himself." Billy said, watching them with a light grin. Trent huffed, rubbing his arm and pouty. That was pokey. He forgot about it almost immediately, and put the little bit of branch on Jiang's head. That seemed to amuse him immensely. Fantasy_Rocks13 "So long as he enjoys himself," she said with another giggle. The two were so funny now that they had learned to get along. Jiang pouted as the branch got stuck onto his head. He glared at Trent and picked it off to toss at the monster-child. Hmph. eternaldelusion "Exactly." Trent just baby-cackled, clapping his hands, then picking the branch up, and pulling off some of the pokey bits. He stared at one for a moment, then slowly brought it up to his mouth. Fantasy_Rocks13 Jiang tilted his head to the side, watching as Trent tried some of the pokey stuff. Did it taste good? He pulled off another touching the end of it. Would it hurt if he put it in his mouth? eternaldelusion Trent stuck it in his mouth, then chewed and swallowed it. It didn't seem to bother him, but he could eat some odd things. Luckily, it was a real tree, not a plastic one. Billy looked on with a look of exasperated surprise. Fantasy_Rocks13 Eventually Jiang seemed to think better of it, and didn't eat the pokey thing. Instead, he poked Trent with it, and put the rest of the branch on his head. HA. eternaldelusion Aw, he's plan was turned on him. He just huffed and tilted his head back, trying to see it. He was surprised when it fell off, then turned to look behind him, and picked it up. Then he seemed to realize something...if Jiang was poking him with one pokey, and he had a whole bunch of pokeys...Ah. He grinned, and poked Jiang with the branch. Fantasy_Rocks13 Jiang frowned and flailed as he got poked with all the pokey things. No fair! He whined and batted at the branch, trying to keep it away from himself. eternaldelusion "Ok," Billy got up, and picked up both the boys, carrying them over to the box, and taking the branch, "I think thats enough playing with the tree." Fantasy_Rocks13 Jiang made a face at Trent, pouting again. Why was he always picked on? It wasn't fair! "Boys will be boys?" Elina offered, though she couldn't help but smile. eternaldelusion "They're going to be such darlings when they're older," He said, grinning, then starting to fish around in the box, "Lets see..." he pulled out three shiny decorations. Plastic, of course, and offered them to the boys. Trent's eyes went wide and he snatched it. Fantasy_Rocks13 "More like devious darlings," Elina commented, smirking as she rummaged through the nearest box beside her. Jiang let out a happy burble, making grabby hands as Trent snatched the decorations from Billy. eternaldelusion Trent looked to Jiang, then grudgingly handed him one. Fine...he looked at his own, transfixed, then held it up to his face. Oh...so pretty. He clutched it in one of his bottom hands, with he tucked against himself protectively, then moved over to Elina to see what she was doing. Fantasy_Rocks13 Jiang grinned as he took the one Trent offered. HA. Cry and you can get anything. When he noticed that Elina was looking through another box, Jiang followed after Trent. He was curious too! "Oh well look who comes over when I go try to get something done," Elina teased, smiling at the boys. "Let's see, what do we have in here...." It seemed she had found the box with homemade ornaments. "Who made these, Billy?" eternaldelusion Billy looked up, then blinked, "Oh...Chrissy's mother." he said, nodding a little. "Well, Chrissy made some too, didn't you honey?" "Yep." Fantasy_Rocks13 "These are beautiful," she said, looking at all the ornaments. Jiang poked his head into the box, wanting to see what the taller people were talking about. eternaldelusion Trent pressed up to Jiang, trying to see too. "Yeah, she was a real artsy one, that girl," he said, smiling for a second, then looking back in his own box. Fantasy_Rocks13 "I never could do arts and crafts," Elina sighed, admiring a clear ornament that looked likt it was glass that had been painted. "I would love to be able to make anything half this good." Jiang made a face at Trent and nudged him. He wanted space! eternaldelusion "Yeah, I'm not too good at it either," Billy said, glancing at her, "There's other stuff you can do though, so its not bad." Trent whined, then nudged back. He didn't want to give him space. This was nice and cuddly. Fantasy_Rocks13 "I suppose... And don't put yourself down, you're good at other things too!" Elina said as she put the ornament back, eying the two boys. Hopefully they wouldn't ruin what was in the box. Jiang made a low sort of growl and nudged Trent again, though a bit harder. eternaldelusion Billy chuckled, "That is true, but I'm more of a right-brained person. Did really good in school," he said, laughing. In other words, he had been a nerd. When Jiang nudged him again, Trent did the only thing that he could. He put all his weight on him. Fantasy_Rocks13 "Well see, I wasn't. School and me never went well together," Elina said, making a face at the thought. "Math and science were too close together, and analyzing in English never made any sense to me." Jiang suddenly found himself sprawled on the floor. He wailed and started to flail, no fair, no fair, no fair! eternaldelusion "I was a huge science buff," he said, grinning, "Biology, especially." he sighed, then stood up. Trent was making confused noises. Why were they down here? He cried out as Jiang started to flail, then Billy lifted him up off the poor boy. Fantasy_Rocks13 "Ug, I hated science. Nothing made sense," Elina said, making a face. But she groaned as Jiang started to make a fuss. Once Trent had been picked up, she snagged Jiang to comfort him. "Come on Jiang, Trent didn't mean to do that. You're not hurt!" eternaldelusion Trent just made angry little whimpers into Billy's shoulder. He had no bloody clue what was going on, but he was pretty sure he didn't approve. Billy rubbed his back, "You gotta be more gentle with Jiang buddy." Fantasy_Rocks13 Soon enough Elina had calmed Jiang down. "You just like to make trouble, don't you Jiang?" she sighed, shifting Jiang so she could look at him. He gave her an innocent, sniffly look. "I think he's alright, he just wanted to throw a fuss," she said, glancing at poor Trent. eternaldelusion Trent looked to Jiang, then huffed, and looked away sulking. "Oh, come on, you little bugger. Lets just hang up some shinies, ok." Trent looked at him, confused, but smiled as he was carried over to the tree. Fantasy_Rocks13 Jiang looked over at Billy and Trent, pointing to what they were doing and making noises. Elina shook her head. "No, you don't get to help with the shinies. You get to be in time out for causing trouble," she said firmly, putting him off in a corner - which Jiang didn't like. At all. eternaldelusion Billy looked uncertain, "We can wait until his time out is done..." he didn't want to poor thing to be left out. Fantasy_Rocks13 "No, it's okay. He needs to learn he can't make trouble just because he can," Elina said. "I'm sure he'll get the concept soon. He doesn't behave properly, he misses out on the fun stuff." eternaldelusion Billy made a quiet, whining noise. He'd feel so bad...But he looked to Trent, took one of the decorations he'd brought over, then put it up, showing Trent how it was done. Trent took one, did the same then Billy turned to wait. Fantasy_Rocks13 Elina went and picked up some more shinies for Billy and Trent to put up, ignoring Jiang's keening noises. No fair, they got to play with shinies! eternaldelusion "Elina..." Trent grabbed at them eagerly, making happy noises. His special one was still tucked to his side, though. Fantasy_Rocks13 She sighed. "Oh alright, alright." Once she had handed Trent the shinies, Elina went over and picked up Jiang. She gave him a stern little lecture, even though he had no idea what she was saying. Elina brought him over to where Billy and Trent were. "Hopefully he'll behave now." eternaldelutions Billy smiled, and offered Jiang one of the decorations, "There you go, buddy." Trent was smacking at the tree with his, having gotten frustrated. Fantasy_Rocks13 Jiang grinned and took the decorations. They were so pretty! And shiny! He liked the shiny things best... And this one was no different! It took him a little while to understand they wanted him to put it around the tree instead of on himself. -in the process of being transcribed-
