Orpheus had done his best to clean up after arranging another tea with the Melee teacher that he'd met not long ago. Though his version of cleaning up was different then that of a normal person. It meant he organized the many piles of papers he needed for his classes into one mega pile which was leaned against his desk and hopefully out of the way. The massive stack of menus was tossed onto the counter of the kitchen area, and the pillows and blankets on the couch were moved out of the way as well.
The living room area was about as neat as one could expect a small apartment inhabited by three males to be... now the rest of the house, that was a different story. Orpheus merely hoped that they could stick to the one part of the apartment for now.
From down the hall one could hear rather loud music, that which came from the bedroom on the left side of the hall that belonged to one of his two sons. He gave a shake of his head and ignored it. At least he had agreed to stay in his room so that Orpheus could have a moment's time to talk with an adult, something he didn't really do all that often.

Kuyoja was glad he went clothes shopping for Saedah...at least this time she was wearing an actually shirt...even if it was a bit large and she clung onto the blue ribbon that belong to Ligeia fiercly. She had been very god about keeping it safe and clean.
Shifting the girls weight on his hip , he had grown assustomed to her clinging and knew that eventually she would need to learn to move on her own...but for now their relationship was still a bit fragile. He pondered a bit as he came to the aparment door which belonged to Orhpeus. he could hear muffeled loud music and noticed right away Sae's nervousness.
"Its alright. Ligeia will be here." He encouraged not wanting her to suddenly demand they go home.
It worked, the little girls eyes widened happily even if she still trembeled a bit at the sounds she could hear behind the door. Kuyoja used a hand to knock on the door a bit loudly as he wasn't sure how well Orpheus would be able to hear him.

Orpheus looked up at the door when he heard some knocking and he abandoned his last minute organizing of clutter to go to answer it. He opened the door and a smile appeared on the man's face as he looked the pair over that were standing there. They seemed to be getting a long better now then the last time he had seen them, "Hello, come on in." He said, stepping out of the way so that Kuyoja and his daughter could come inside.
"Please forgive the mess." He said, an automatic thing because he knew despite the work he put into the cleaning an hour of cleaning didn't make up for as much time as he and his sons had lived here.

Kuyoja paused outside of the mans house. He ...the..mess...he fought the urge to turn away and leave. Instead he forced his feet into the mans home ..thankful he had worn his simple sandels here.
Sae offered the man a very small smile as she as crushed back against Kuyoja's chest. She looked around instantly for Ligeia. She defintely seemed a lot better than she had before. "I...brought some tea..." Kuyoja managed to say as he continued to resist the urge to put Seadah down and start cleaning the mess before him. "As well...some Daifuku buns ..." He continued his gaze slowly manuvering over the large clutters of papers and others objects. For once Saedah wanted down, she wanted Geia...and she would go find him if she had too. "Dwoon." She murmured to her father who relunctantly released her on the floor. She was wearing a cute little white top with a cupcake on the front. With letters saying 'Kiss me i'm sweet' written boldly across the front. She wasted no time as she clutched onto Geia's ribbon to tentavily look around.
Kuyoja watched as she slowly slithered off...he wanted to call her back..but was so hapy to see her moving about boldly for once that he didn't have the heart to tell her to stop.

Orpheus closed the door after the pair came in, watching his guest who was looking around and he felt a flush rise in his cheeks. Compared to Kujoya's place this apartment must seem chaotic, "Tea sounds good, I have some treats as well. Something sweeter." He said, motioning to the living room table that he'd cleared off save for a plate of cookies he'd swiped from the teacher's lounge. They were there for teachers to take and he'd done just that.
He looked down at the little snake girl as she was lowered to the ground and seemed to be looking for something. He glanced down the hallway, toward the source of the loud music that could be heard and he turned to Kuyoja, "My son." He explained, "When they get to that age they can be difficult at times."
"Shall we sit?"

Kuyoja looked at the cookies as if they were poison but nodded his head stiffly before moving to sit he paused just before he did taking the bag o his arm and removing a box of the buns out. He opened the lid and offered one to Saedah who took it eagerly before slithering off down towards the loud music.
He watched a bit worriedly before moving to actually sit. "...Aye yes... you have two sons... I believe I have taught your young son Ter a couple of classes." He politely made conversation so he could distract himself from the desire to clean.
Saedah clutched both riibbon and the daifuku bun in her small hands. Bravely going down the hallway to find Ligeia. The other funny red headed man saud his son was down here. So son must of meant Ligeia. THough she didn't think the owl boy would of liked such loud music. . .
When she reached the closed door the poor girl quivered as she could feel the bass in her chest, the music hurt her ears. She hesitated, she wanted so badly to see Ligeia...but the music was so scary. Chewing on her lower lip she tried to reach for the door knob, pushing up on her coils as high as she could go.
The tips of her fingers brushed the knob but she wasn't able to fully open it. She doubted Ligeia would be able to hear her if she knocked so she tried again. This time managing to make the door knob wiggle. Encouraged she attempted once more...

Orpheus watched the little one go but wasn't to worried, the doors to the rooms in that direction were all closed so after she explored the empty hall she was sure to return he thought before turning to look at Kuyoja and sat down with him, "You have?" He asked, wincing a little, "I hope he behaved at least somewhat, I know that Ter can be a bit of a handful at times."
That was putting it lightly but the redhead took it as a good sign that he had done a couple classes for Ter. If he really didn't like the teen he would have been put in another class.
Orpheus picked up a couple of the cookies and ate them before asking, "How are you and your daughter getting along these days?"
Neither Ter nor Baroness noticed that someone was trying to get in. The wyvern was sprawled across the mattress that was laying on the floor. The end of her tail was swishing along with the music while the snake was dancing along with it... something he only did in the privacy of his room.

Kuyoja didn't reach for anything to nibble on as his gaze watched were Saedah disspeared too. He then refocused on Orpheus... he sat stiffly trying not to let the dirtiness of the room bother him.
"Your son is just misguided. He shows skills, he just needs the proper focus and dedication is all." Kuyoja replied as politely as he could put it.
"Our relationship has improved..she is still very shy but seems able to adapt if I ease her into situations slowly. I must admit this if the first time she has gone off willingly on her own..." He trailed off his gaze looking bck down the hall again.
Saedah puffed out her cheeks in annoyance. Stupid door! Why wouldn't it open? Struggling she pushed up on her coils again leaning her whole body into the door so she could inch herself up to grap the door knob. THERE! She got it! But...she wasn't strong enough to open it! Choking back a sob of frusteration she wrapped the ribbon around her fingers and tucked one end of the bun into her mouth before using both hands to grasp the knob.
SHe turned it and heard the click, the door then swung inwards as her weight pushed it that way. So there she was...a little snake girl clinging to the side of the door clutchign with all her might the door knob.

Orpheus looked a bit surprised on the man's opinion of his son, it was nice to hear it. He knew that Ter could do things more then fight if he wanted to but it just seemed to be what he was good at... So he just needed focus? That was good, he just hoped Ter would find something to focus and dedicate himself to.
He smiled, "Its a good sign. She reminds me a bit of Ligeia when he was little. He used to always to cling to me and didn't talk to many people. It was until he was older that he started to do things on his own and when he got Vorel that he really started to socialize."
It seemed so very long ago that his boys were as small as Sae, it made him miss had a small child in the house from time to time... then he would look at his class load and push the feeling aside. The more children that D-Corp created the more he taught and the more time he was away from home. Another child at the moment wouldn't work out he was sure.
Baroness jerked her head up, turning her attention to the door that had just swung open and for a moment seemed ready to attack the intruder... only to lose all of her momentum when she saw the tiny scrape of a child that was hanging on the door. She blinked a couple times then turned to look at her boy, confused.
Ter had been a bit surprised too, fully expecting his father to come in to complain about the music being to loud or something equally as annoying... instead he found himself starring at a small child hanging on his door, "The... hell?" He asked, using the remote in his hand to turn the music down a bit before he slithered forward toward the miny intruder.

Kuyoja nodded his head and couldn't even imagine having more than just Saedah...she was enough to handle and she wasn't even violent. Just...needy. Listening to the man speak about Ligeia he hoped Saedah would also open up to the world a bit more.
"I see...so you had similar problems with your own son...probably why she and he connected so well the first time they met." He murmured finally unable to stand it any longer and started to clean the small pile of things near his seat.
Saedah dropped from the door knob hurriedly, she fell onto her back and when she looked up she spotted two terrifying figures coming inher direction. A strange boy and something huge and scary!
Giving a meep she wrapped her coils around herself burying her head into them and raised the daifuku bun in her quivering hands as an offering to the dragon. Her small fingers trembeled terribly ad she unfortunately squished all the sweet bean paste out of the rice cake. and all over her fingers.
This was NOT Ligeia. She sobbed into her coils. she should of stayed with papa. Now she had to deal with the scary boy and the thing with him on her own.

Orpheus nodded, "Geia seems to do well most every he meets." He said, "He has helped me out in quite a few classes because of that ability..." The man's words trailed off, watching as Kuyoja rose to his feet and started to rearrange things.
"Ahh... is it that bad...?" He asked, sounding a bit embarrassed, that his house was such a mess that his company would want to remedy it.
Saedah was a lucky girl because she was just that, a girl. Were she a boy Ter would have no doubt teased her just as he had the dog boy he'd met and scared in the elevator a while back. Instead he shifted his coils and laid down on them on his stomach. He crossed his arms to rest them on his own body then rested his head on that. He watched the ball of girl as it trembled, an offering held up blindly toward them.
He reached out to take the squished item from her and gave it a toss to Baroness. There was a snap of teeth as the dragoness grabbed the item out of the air and started to chew, tail swishing behind her, "Mmmmm. Good." She said in guttural English.

Kuyoja nodded his head as the man described his eldest son. He hadn't any classes with the boy so he couldn't really give an opinion on the matter he cotinued to gather piles of papers and place them in his arms as he tried to make the area he was sitting in ...some real semblence of clean.
"your Feng shui is terrible...." he said as he continued to try and clean up.
Feeling the bun taken from her fingers she let her hands dive down to cover her head still shaking like a leaf. She flinched as she heard the snape of teeth and nearly burst out crying when she heard the low grutteral voice of Baroness.
She sobbed in her coils for Ligeia though the muffeled sound more sounded like a chirping noise than an actually name or word. She continued to lay there for a while trembling as if awaiting some cruel punishment for going into the wrong persons room.

Orpheus tilted his head to the side, wondering if that were some sort of veiled insult toward his cleaning skills... then recalled hearing about that. Wasn't that something about how a person arranged furniture or something? He starred at the man then shrugged, "I suppose. Can't say I have time to worry about all that." He said, "Either way though, Fung Shoe or not your my guest, not my house keeper... you should sit down. We are supposed to be having tea not cleaning."
Ter watched for a moment more before he lifted a hand, reaching it out to give her a poke, "Your safe you know. I don't eat trespassers when they are girls." He said, with a bit of a grin.

Kuyoja seemed to ignore him for the most part...he just couldn't stand it any longer.
"Guest or not, it would be rude of me not to help." He stated as he continued on his merry (if you could call it that) little way and continued to clean. he was quick and efficient.
Saedah wasn't very comforted by his words but she managed to peek an eye out to take a better look at the boy. He...was.....scary. Very scary but then her gaze went to Baroness and SHE was far scarier than the boy ever could be.
Giving a meep she uncoiled herself to suddenly spring towards Ter not really caring where she grabbed onto just as long as she was with the slightly less scary person.
"Dun eat mes..pweasee...." she cried managing to latch onto Ter's shoulder.

"Help... I guess but shouldn't I have to ask first to get help?" He asked, hopping to his feet when the man started to rearrange things and he dashed over to put himself between the man who was caught in a cleaning frenzy and the papers that he needed for his classes. He had to protect his notes!
Ter gave a sound of surprise, trying to jerk back when she lunged at him but it was to late. As he sat up he ended up with her hanging off him as she had been hanging off the door a moment ago clutching onto his neck and closed hood.
Baroness starred for a long moment before she lost it, laughing as though seeing her boy with a child hanging off of him was the most amusing thing in the world.
"Oh shut it." He muttered to the wyvern before he lifted an arm up to wrap it around the girl, "Um... I don't plan on it, I only chew on big girls." He assured her.
