The morning up until the godmother-daughter had been ridiculously hectic. First, Guinevere had scoured the house looking for Adhara who, for once, was in her room, where she was supposed to be. But, there was something just a little off about her appearance. Meaning that she'd suddenly... 'filled out', would be the word. The child was... no longer a child! She'd matured physically to the point that Guinevere was required to go back to her room for a few minutes before realizing that it was, in fact, her goddaughter in that room. Throwing the girl into her clothing and hurriedly telling her boyfriend -returned that morning- about the twins she'd kept secret and that they were watching television in the living room.
She'd been stuck waiting by the car as Adhara ran upstairs to get something that she 'had to bring to a friend at the Facility'. Since when did that girl have friends at that terrible place? The girl ran down the steps of the front porch with a wide scarf knitted with deep magenta yarn. Guinevere blinked a few times in curiosity, wondering who she'd made that for,before shrugging to herself and getting into the car. As Adhara followed, however, she noticed that the dress the not-so-small girl was wearing, a black cherry-themed one, was riding up rather high for someone... whatever age she was.
They arrived at the building within a few minutes, Ginny living closer to the building than Noah did. The woman's heels clicked on the linoleum inside of the building as she walked in with a purpose, though her small stature didn't do much in the ways of intimidation. That was when a person in a white coat walked up to her, looking down at Adhara, before back at her. She frowned, though the reason behind her expression was unknown. She looked down at the clipboard again, back up, and rolled her eyes.
"I demand an ex-" Guinevere started, but was cut off almost immediately.
"Are you 'Noah By'arre'?" the tech questioned apathetically. "The guardian of the girl accompanying you?"
"No, I'm her godmoth-"
"Close enough. Wait here." That was the closing remark as the woman turned and went back into the depths of the building. Adhara simply stood waiting, glancing around for the face of the Fallen whom she hadn't seen in... maybe not a 'while', but since she was a child, at least. She frowned softly. The problem was that he wasn't in sight. Instead, she looked back toward Guinevere as the same tech came up to her, a disgruntled looking little boy in tow. Ginny looked down at the kid with wide eyes, and the tech let go of him. By now, the two adults were yelling at each other about various things, and Adhara didn't really care to listen anymore. As soon as she turned to go off into the rest of the building, however, something tugged at the back of her skirt.
Adhara turned and looked down at the small boy, who looked up with her with wide, green eyes. Slowly, one of his arms raised, and he pointed to the ribbon wrapped around Adhara's head. "Want!"

Luthor was normally a rather sweet boy there were very few things that could make his mood go from a good one to a bad one... and all of those things were various techs. He had been walking with his Daddy, heading for one of the break rooms when they caught the distant sound of one of those awful people in a yelling match with a woman. He had puffed up a bit, stepping closer to Almas, and gave a sort of huffing sound that he gave when he was displeased. Where was Pepper when you needed him? If his friend was here he could go and chew on the tech with those sharp teeth of his.
Almas looked down at his son then gave him a soft smile, "We aren't heading in that direction, you don't have to worry about them." He assured him, wondering what was going on in his son's mind but... given the glare he was sending in the direction of the voices he probably didn't want to know, "How about a smile? We are going to make some nice tea and see if there are any cookies."
The white haired spawn perked up slightly at this, he liked tea even if he wasn't allowed to have a lot of it and wasn't allowed to add sugar to it. His Daddy said he was hyper enough as it was. Cookies though... they were sweet, sugary, and good to dip in the tea to make it more so. It was a trick that his Daddy had yet to catch on to, "Alright, tea and cookies." He agreed, wanting something better to think on then the techs... when he was bigger... he would do something about them! ... Probably send a bigger Pepper to chew their arms off he thought, giving a delighted smile at the thought.

Adhara wasn't completely sure what to think of the demand from the child at her feet, and she just watched him for a moment before shrugging to herself. "'Kay," she said simply, untying the red ribbon from her head, hair falling into her face a bit. She tied the ribbon around the little boy's pink hair and laughed a bit. If this child was to be her next younger brother, she didn't think that she would mind too much. After all, he seemed pretty cute, minus the demanding voice that he had at such a young age. He bounced a bit, happy that he know had the pretty, shiny ribbon. However, he didn't like the fact that he couldn't see it on his head. Pouting softly, he pulled it off and smiled at the piece of cloth he now held in his hands, unaware of the perplexed amber gaze set on him.
Shaking her head, Adhara managed to catch sight of the blonde man that she'd been there looking for. A bright smiled erupted on her face, and she walked quickly to try and catch up with him. The boy, who'd been admiring the ribbon, barely looked up in time to see his new sister run off, and started running after her, tail nearly dragging on the ground. As soon as Adhara had caught up with the Fallen, she tapped him gently on the shoulder, currently unaware of the little boy who was only her younger brother's height. "Hi Almas," she greeted sweetly with her genuine smile. She outstretched the deep magenta scarf toward the man happily, eager to see his reaction to the gift that she'd made. "TaDa! I finally finished your scarf. Do you like it...?"
The little boy had managed to find the girl who'd given him the ribbon, but he nearly ran into the white-haired child in the process. Blinking a couple times, he tilted his head to the side slowly, before he pointed toward the other boy. "Who?"

Almas turned around at the tap on his shoulder, looking at the girl that was standing there holding a scarf out to him. It took him a long moment before it clicked which he was looking at, "Adhara?" He murmured, eyes going a bit wide from the realization. She seemed to have gone through a growth spurt he thought before he reached out to take the scarf from her hands, "Thank you, that's very kind of you."
The Fallen looked it over, taking in the color and the hard work that she had put into it before he gave a smile, "Its very nice." She had told him she was going to make him something but he was still a bit surprised, gifts not something he was used to getting.
Luthor looked over at the boy that was pointing at him, starring at him for a long moment before saying, "I'm Luthor." He said, giving the boy a little smile as he looked him over. He was interesting to look at wasn't he?

Adhara laughed a bit sheepishly at the Fallen's reaction to her appearance. "MmHmm, it's me. Have I really changed that much?" she asked, looking down at herself curiously, hair falling into her eyes. Blinking a few times, she looked back up at Almas and smiled a bit. "I guess I have, huh? Ginny didn't recognize me this morning, either. She thought someone had broken into the house," she noted with a firm nod of her head. Well, at least she was still the same girl she'd been the night before, ranting a lot and being as sweet and talkative as always.
It seemed that her tentacles weren't exactly the same as they'd been, though they seemed to retain their weird fascination with other people. Happily, both Reena and Niita stretched out toward Almas, glad to see a person that they recognized, but seemed to be irritated by the fact that Adhara had gotten used to keeping distance between herself and other people. It didn't stop the appendages from reaching with all their might toward their current target. Adhara tried to smile as sweetly as she could, despite the irritation at her tentacles misbehaving. "It's not problem, really. I mean, I promised that I would, right?" she replied with a nod. "Thanks. I though that it would be a good colour. Or- that you would like it. And... stuff," she mumbled the last part of this, having lost her train of thought somewhere in her speaking. "How have you been?"
Dropping his hand, the child watched the other boy with some strange form of curiosity, before taking a step forward and reaching one hand out to touch the strange, wavy white hair atop the other child's head, seemingly unaware of the fact that his own bubblegum pink hair would be considered out of the ordinary. Before any harm could befall him or his hand, he pulled away and nodded a couple times, though it wasn't completely obvious as to why he did so. He pointed up to the other's hair. "Nice. Soft," he complimented, at least, best as he could with his limited vocabulary. Dropping the pointed winger, he scratched at a particularly itchy patch of scales.

He gave a nod, "A bit yes, I have seen a lot of kids grow but it surprises me every time since its so sudden." He told her, finding himself glancing over at his own son. He was going to have a growth spurt like that one day he realized, as though it were the first time the thought came to him. He gave a bit of a smile before he lifted the scarf up to lay it over one of his shoulders.
"Not to bad, things have been calm for the most part." Or at least as calm as they could be in a place like this but some of what had happened he didn't want to bring up with someone as young as Adhara.
He looked over at the boy that was traveling with her, "Your brother?" He asked, glad to see that Luthor was making friends with another kid his age.
Luthor tilted his hand against he hair that was petting his hair, seeming to enjoy both the gentle feeling and the fact that he was being complimented. He might not have the blood of a Pride Demon but it didn't mean he didn't have an ego... one that was slowly growing as time went on, "Thank you." He said, giving a grin.

Adhara chuckled a bit at Almas' response, looking herself over once again. She had gotten bigger, that was for sure. And the new shape her body had taken was foreign and difficult to walk around in. She stretched one of her wings out and looked back at it; yep, her wings had grown as well. She couldn't help but smile at that fact; at the rate that her wings were developing, it wouldn't be long until she was able to fly with them. That was probably one of the most exciting things she could think of as far as getting bigger was concerned. Reena and Niita had just gotten more... affectionate, if this morning was anything to go by.
"Good to hear that things haven't been too bad," she replied with a soft smile, as though she could tell that things probably hadn't been too good, either. It seemed that was the way that things happened around this... Facility. At the questioning of a sibling, Adhara blinked a few times and looked in the same direction as Almas had been, at the little pink-haired child who'd followed her, apparently. She smiled a bit, and ruffled his pink hair affectionately.
"You're a cute little thing, huh?" she asked, only for the child to change in demeanor and snap at her fingers, making Adhi pull back abruptly. "Not cute..." the boy grumbled, shaking his head and looking back toward Luthor, flattening his hair back to how it had been previously. Adhara turned her attention back to Almas and chuckled softly. "Unless my godmother gets her way against the techs, I think he is. Something about my dad signing papers for other kids when I got older or something," she added the last part for good measure. It was doubtful that anyone who wasn't scary would get their way against the techs. And Ginny could be scary, but not demonic-scary. She looked toward the little white-haired boy and chuckled softly. "What about him? Is he your's?"
The boy looked up a bit at the thanks and nodded a couple times, busy tying the ribbon that he'd been gifted around his prized halo. By now, he'd forgotten exactly where he'd gotten the item, but he didn't really mind; it was still his after all. He frowned a bit, tilting his head and trying to come up with the right word for what he wanted to ask the other. Though there were better words for it, he was sure, none of them were coming to mind. Instead, he simply pointed toward the other child. "Who?"

Almas gave a nod of his head as he looked over at Luthor, "Yes, he was born of my blood." He murmured, sounding and looking very much like a proud parent. The boy did have the same eyes as Almas as well as a few other features that spoke of them being related through more then just adoption, "His name is Luthor." He told both Adhara and the other boy.
Luthor gave a little smile as he stepped closer to his new friend, getting a little peek at the item that he was carrying. It looked like nothing more then a metal ring, nothing he'd ever seen before, "Pretty, what is it?"

Adhara smiled and wiggled her fingers in a wave to the little boy, before pushing her now unheld hair behind one of her ears, smiling up at Almas pleasantly. "He's really cute," she commented with a soft smile, chuckling and pointing to her own eyes as an example. "He's got your eyes, too," she observed. "That's a nice name," she added with a bit of a nod, watching the little boy with a bit of interest as he interacted with the kid who was, apparently, his little brother. She tipped her head to the side a bit. "Hey Almas, what's it like to have a kid?" she asked, glancing back up at the Fallen curiously. It was an honest question- not like she was expecting to get pregnant or anything.
Aludra blinked at Luthor with wide eyes, looking up to the man assumed to be his father curiously when the name was given. He looked back at the little one, and nodded a few times, committing the name to memory. At the single step closer, Aludra completely forgot about tying the ribbon, and held both ring and ribbon close to his chest, a soft growl coming from his throat. He wanted to claim it as his own, but the question had already been posed, and he had to reply to that. "Is halo," he commented softly, looking down at the halo. "'Longs to Alu," he stated simply, claiming it as his own, trying to tie the ribbon with the item held close to himself.
