Welcome to Gaia! ::

As per an almost routine, Ebby was dressed up nice and warm, heading to the Sevens building with her mother. The small purple one was wearing a warm sweater, tights, and a scarf with her usual outfit to keep warm, while the mother only wore a turtleneck instead of her usual shirt.

Today the child was carrying a large plant and a bag over her shoulder, containing 5 tins of cookies. She didn't expect the contents of the tins to be gone rather fast but she'd made a lot and one never knew who or what might want more. Anyway, she could leave some for the others she didn't know, just in case they wanted some. Also in the bag was a small package with the presents she'd brought Charna.

She was excited to see her friends again and have them try her baking. Sinny, Kahlua, Uncle Charlie and Bailey had all liked her cookies a lot and Mommy had agreed with them a bit, even though she couldn't really taste them.

So, she had made up a few batches of the different kinds she was learning and set off to spread some holiday cheer at Sevens. After all, the place could be a bit gloomy at times and something like a treat might be well appreciated. The only one she could think of that might not like her cookies was Anani and that was because she didn't eat.

Ebony had brought the Abstinence angel some potted plants like she had for Almas and Hyacinth. However, these plants she'd picked out because they were pretty and in-season and she was sure that Anani needed some cheering up. Dartie had said poinsettias were poisonous if you tried to eat them, but Anani didn't eat so they would be safe for her.

Due to the angels section seemingly being the safest area, Dartsmoore let Ebony enter it by herself and proceeded on to the usual room where Almas was alone. Ebby wanted to give Anani her present without Almas there, as she figured his presence would upset the angel and be counterproductive to the cheering factor of the present. So, while Dartie went off to greet the Fallen and let him know that they were there, Ebby went in search of the Abstinence angel, alone and wandering the Celestial wing.

Ebony glanced up and smiled warmly to the angel she saw. "It's okay. I shoulda been looking to see if anyone was coming instead of standing in one place. I'm not really scheduled for any visits, so that might be why you didn't know about me." the girl explained.

"I'm Ebony. What's your name?" she asked warmly, bowing a little as she spoke. She couldn't bow too much for fear of mussing the precious plant she had brought for Anani.

"Oh, I'm here to visit some friends and take Anani a present. I took Hyacinth a flower last time I was here and he mentioned it was like Anani and then we met her outside and she seemed to need cheering up so I brought her some nice flowers too. I made cookies to give out too, but I don't think she'd be very interested in those." the little girl told the angel.

"I haven't really got any idea where to find her, though, and Almas isn't with me today. He usually takes me about when I come to visit but she doesn't like him so I thought I'd bring her her flowers first before I went to see him. That way she won't get upset - that wouldn't be good when I'm trying to cheer her up."

Leaning out from behind the flower to get a look at Avis, Ebony noticed a few interesting things. "You've got really neat wings. I haven't seen any like that before. And your eyes are pretty colors." she commented offhandly. Ebby always did find something to like about everyone she met and liked telling them about it.

Ebony, being her, didn't really notice the blush, now being concentrated on the information that she'd been given. "Oh, that's good. They're nearby then. I'm forgetful with directions sometimes and I was worried I might be going to the wrong room to find Hyacinth."

"Were you planning on going to see them? When I can put down the flowers, I was hoping to get the cookies I brought out of my bag to share. You could have some with you like. I baked them all this morning."

"Sure. Then Anani could eat her way while we eat ours." the was at least the child's perspective on the matter. If Anani ate like a plant - getting food from the sun - and didn't eat regular food, then being in the sun with people who were eating would be like participating for her. Ebby didn't really understand the Chastity side of Avis's reasoning, not even knowing what angel the other was, so that was the main reason.

"Do you want me to go and get them and then meet you in the garden?"

Ebony, now assured of her destination, headed forward towards Hyacinth's room. When the child reached the doorway, she couldn't really knock, due to the flowers in her hands, so she just called a greeting.

"Hallos."

The purple spawn waved one of her wings to Hyacinth as a form of greeting as well, since her arms were taken and she couldn't go hug him. "Hallo Hyacinth. It's nice to see you too - though I can't all the way cause of the flowers."

Ebby giggled a little at the sniffing and then smiled her usual friendly little smile. "Hihi Anani. I brought you some flowers. And I brought cookies to share with people, but I didn't think you'd like those. Avis is in the garden. We were going to go have our cookies out there so you could take in sun while we eat. I think she had another reason for not wanting to come over here but I didn't ask about it. Did you guys want to come outside?" chatty as always, that she was.

Ebony smiled brightly and walked out of the room with Hyacinth and Anani in toe. The child had at least memorized the route from the patience angel's room to the gardens by then, so they were able to get out to the garden to find Anani in only a short while.

As they walked, the raven haired toddler questioned her friend about his plant. "It's nice that you're bringing your flower along, Hyacinth. Do you like it? You seem fond of it." idle chit-chat and curiosity questions were just some things that seemed in Ebby's nature to have. And usually, they were about as innocent as they were asked, so it wasn't quite a huge problem. "How have you been?"
