Jebus....the technican was wondering if poor Cestoloria was going to have a heart attack with how many request he had recieved to be visited. THe angel was horrendously shy and tended to be very quiet. Maybe it was good for the angel to meet more of the kids that were created as part of his DNA. So...in a ..technical sense...he had been a very 'busy' angel since there were so many children spawned from him.
The technician laughed as he thought on it. Cestoloria having any sort of relationship seemed like a joke. He was too easy to walk all over. Still it was amusing thought. Now the tech waited for the child Aludra to show... hey maybe if he was lucky he could retrieve that halo that brat stole from the labs...

Aludra's hands remained fastened to two things- his right clung desperately to his pregnant older sister's hand, while his left held that halo of his tightly to his chest, tri-coloured eyes focused on the ground, as though he would somehow be able to tunnel through the earth and escape this crazy place if he focused hard enough. His sister had told him that this place wasn't as bad as he'd originally thought it was, but Pepper had been just about the only good thing -no, the only good thing- about this entire place when he'd been here originally.
His grip on his sister's hand tightened as the two approached the technician, his gaze turning into a glare, a soft growl erupting from his throat as he held the halo even more possessively to his chest- and for good reason. Sure, he didn't remember people perfectly, but he remembered the techs who had been there when he'd stolen his prized possession. Adhara winced slightly at her brother's nails digging into her palm and shook her head softly, Niita patting his head gently. "Aludra, calm down. Nothing's going to happen." She smiled faintly toward the tech. "We're here to see... Cestoloria, right? The angel of Humility?"

The technician hadn't expected the pregnant young girl to be the one to show up, it was obvious by the way he stared at her, it took him a while to look away before he nodded and mumbeled yes. Though his attention was soon drawn to what Aludra was clasping to his chest. his eyes narrowed...the brat did bring it with him...well maybe he could get it back. Something good could come of thi encounter.
"Yeah well...please be quiet around Cestoloria, he's had quite a few visitors lately and he isn't use to all the attention." He grumbeled before he turned on his hell and strode down the hall way as if expecting the children to fallow.
Dammit...if an adult was here he could try and convince them to force Aludra to give up the halo. It did belong to the facility after all. Greedy little brat had stolen it.
He was thinking of this while they walked, but he didn't say anything outloud. They walked through the celestial like archway and past the indoor gardens and kept going. They soon came up to a room with the door shut. He tapped on it lightly.
"Cesto? I brought Aludra here to see you." He spoke though he had tol the kids to be quiet he himself was not really following his own advice.
THere was a rustle from inside of the room and the door opened to show a timid looking angel who seemed to be trembling from all the recent excitment.
"...D..o come in. " He barely whispered as he turned to offer the children and perhaps reluntantly the technician into his home.

Adhara had gotten rather used to the stares by now, given the entire populace of Gaia tended to stare at her as well; it wasn't everyday you saw a rather young, very pregnant girl with tentacles, wings, and horns walking down the street with a backpack stuffed full of food. She smiled softly in response to the staring anyway. Had she known that the tech wanted Aludra's halo back, and that he was under the impression that Noah would do a better job of getting it out of him, she probably would have laughed. 'Course, in her current position, she would defend her brother's prized possession as much as she could. Noah would ask if he could give it back, get snapped at, and then wouldn't say another word about it; he was rather skiddish and very lax for a parent.
Aludra nodded a few times in understanding about being quiet around the other; he really wouldn't have much problem with that- the kid barely talked since he'd grown, and he'd gotten much quieter on the rare occasion that he did talk, especially with how self-conscious he'd grown of his choppy speech, having been made fun of by a lot of the kids at the school that he'd started going to only a week or so before.
Aludra let go of his sister's hand hesitantly as they passed under the archway, grasping the halo with both hands and turning it in slow circles, nervous already about this encounter. He tipped his head a bit when the man opened the door, eyebrows raising at the headwings that his friend 'Zuba had as well, automatically connecting that to the little argument they'd had about who was prettier when the two had first met- it made a lot more sense now, that was for sure.
"'Lo," Aludra said, voice lowered politely, though he made sure that he was actually talking loud enough to be heard. When allowed in, he took the offer, glancing around the little room and then at his sister, who took a seat as soon as she could, slipping her feet out of her slip-on shoes and flexing her toes inside lilac socks, frowning softly at how much they hurt with how little walking she'd done [only from her house to the Facility, after all!].
Aludra pulled out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and opened it, where a few questions he'd chosen to ask Cestoloria had been written by his big sister. He read them to himself, only mouthing the words, before he smiled up at the brunette softly, so very tempted to ask for a feather from one of his headwings, though he was sure that would make the other look lopsided, and he didn't want that. Along with that, he had also promised Adhara that he wouldn't use the word 'want' out of context during this meeting. He gestured toward the angel curiously; first question. "Can call Lor?"

The angel of humility at first was drawn to Aludra's stomach though he didn't let his gaze linger for long before he turned it back onto Aludra. It seemed the creation of life was always a distraction to angels. At the question he pulled his ear wings in letting them fold against his head as if they needed to rest. He nodded his head at the question,
"I...i've been call...ed ..many things...L..Lor is fine." He whispered before he went to sit down it would of been at this point that it was noticable that he didn't really walk but flaoted a few inches off the ground. He turned; offering his company to sit down with him.
Of course the technician preferred to stand, and was grudgingly taking notes even as he plotted on taking the halo back from the brat.
There was something almost sad about the angel of humility, something that made you want to shout and shake him to make him be more alive. But he just sat, looking at the trio as if still surprised they knew he was there.

Aludra let his tail swish back and forth behind him as he watched the oh-so-pretty angel even just sit there. Every single part of the man made Aludra wish that he'd been so blessed as to take after his angelic father more than his demonic one. As Adhara had originally predicted, the question-covered paper was discarded in exchanged for even watching the angel, though the girl was sure that it would get rather awkward for the poor thing; angel of Humility as he was. But, that was her brother.
"Can float," he noted, as though this was something that the man wouldn't have noticed on his own; the boy seemed to do that sort of thing a lot. He jumped the short distance to the floor from his chair, the wings on his ankles fluttering softly. His tail waved gently behind him, and he tipped his head to the side, pointing up toward one of Cestoloria's headwings. "Can pet?" he questioned quietly, still settling into his more humble side as of recently, which was starting to greatly confuse his father when things started randomly going missing. "'Ludra will be sure to not hurt."
Unfortunately for the tech, Aludra kept the halo in his hand the entire time, not noticing yet how intent the other was on getting it back. Speaking of which... The child gave a bit of a smile, before showing the older male his halo with a flourish, always loving to show off his most prized of all his possessions. Though his exceedingly large lotion shelf was getting pretty high up there...

'Lor' as if was nodded his head simply at the boy's question, yes he could float, since his head wings were not so large to help him fly.
"Yes, I was born with this talent to float." He murmured before bending down to allow the boy to pet one of his head wings. The wing outstretched so that he could also get a better look at it.
He peered at the halo a bit surprised to see it in the boy's grasp.
"Oh?...where did you ge..get that?" he inquired in his ever so soft voice.

Aludra gave a pleased, childish sounding noise when the angel bent down slightly, reaching up with a patchy hand to pet at the wing softly, biting his lip and resisting the urge to grab at one of the feathers. He didn't want to make this pretty angel lopsided; then the people who met him afterward would think he looked strange. And, once again, he didn't really want that. The other seemed quiet and self-conscious enough as it was, he didn't need a good reason for it.
Aludra blinked his tri-coloured eyes curiously at the question, pulling the halo back, though not in a possessive manner, simply to observe it up close. He shrugged a bit, petting Lor's feathers a little more before letting that hand fall to the halo, turning it in his grasp.
Gesturing to each item that was attached to the halo in turn, he made sure that Cestoloria knew what he was talking about when he said where each came from. "Feather from Ebby. Feather from Ty. Ribbon from 'Dhara, and halo..." he trailed off here, thinking of the day that he originally got picked up by the friend of his foster father, back when he was still a ward of the Facility, and Pepper was the only non-tech that he really knew. He smiled a bit at that, poking at the bare spot on the halo.
"Friend Pepper helped find. Is per-ized poss-ess-ee-on," he stated with a firm nod of his head, before appearing rather thoughtful, waving his tail back and forth. "Haven't seen Pepper in long time..." he mumbled, before shaking his head, looking up at the angel once more, gesturing toward him with the hand that wasn't clasping the halo tightly. "Has friends?"

The angel remained still with Aludra petting his head wing, so motionless the tech was sure if he had looked away and back he wouldn't of realized the angel had been there in the first place.
He was silent whilst the child explained the items attached to the halo, when Pepper's name was mentioned he gave a small nod of his head. The angel looked a bit saddened perhaps he was thinking on who's halo it may of once belonged to...but regardless it was Aludra's now.
"It is a very precious thing...I am sure you are taking good care of it." He murmured, and Aludra probably was...the technicians had treated it like some new toy they could experiment on it was far better in the hands of an innocent child than them.
When the question came around to him having friends he nodded slowly. He supposed he could call the angels here friends, he often played chess with Jhor but kept to himself mainly.
"Yes...I have a few." He replied after a moment, the angel was indeed very humble. Reaching up he tugged on one of his ear wing feathers and plucked a loose golden one and then handed it to Aludra.
"Can I be your friend too?" He asked softly.

Aludra nodded firmly, making a mental note to take even better care of it now that Lor had said something about it. It was, after all, his most prized possession, and he was in no way going to let anyone do harm to it. For that matter, he rarely even let anyone touch it. But he liked this angel. Actually, he liked Cestoloria quite a bit. He didn't get all irritated at Aludra for being so overly-humble and completely based around his material possessions.
"Friends are good to have," Aludra decided with a nod of his head when the angel said that he had a few friends. He was glad; this place seemed relatively lonely, even with the angels around. After all, the techs hardly seemed the types that one would consider 'human' at all.
When the other handed him one of the golden feathers from one of his earwings, it seemed as though Aludra had momentarily stopped breathing, staring at the feather with his tri-coloured eyes wide open. For the moment, even his tail stopped moving. He blinked a few times, looking up when the question was proposed, a smile finally breaking out across his patchy-scaled face.
"Of course 'Ludra would be friends!!" he exclaimed, happier than anyone in the room had ever seen him or would ever see him, for that matter. Not really giving it a second thought, he hugged the angel around one of his legs, jumping back in the next instant. "Is sorry," he said quickly, tail waving back and forth excitedly. He took the feather delicately, then tied it to the end of one of the ribbons, next to the feather he'd gotten from Ebony. The pure white and the gold looked good together, he thought.
Remembering that the angel, an angel, had just given him something, he quickly started going through his pockets, pulling out a few scraps of paper and a few pieces of shed skin from his younger brother that he was going to show Lir later; like snakeskin just... in multitude. Finally, he pulled out something that he thought was worthy of the other. It was a very neat little lotion bottle that was split in half on the inside, and had a lid that could open one side of it or the other. Half of it held a melony kind of lotion, the other half was a more flowery sort. He offered it up to Cestoloria with little regret, though a bit was still there, and gave him a smile to match it.
"Smells nice. Should have," he said, nodding a few times. It was obvious by his behavior that he wasn't at all meaning that the angel smelt bad, just that it was a nice thing to have. "Would make dull place little happier," he added, chuckling a bit. At least, he certainly hoped so. He would go mad if he was stuck in a place like this, no matter how nice it appeared.

The angel wasn't use to having people cling to him he staggered a bit when the child hugged his leg, but his floating ability made it so he had very good balance so he was able to catch himself. He only gave a small smile at the child's apology and he patted his head softly.
"Well I am glad then. That we could become friends." he continued and when the gift was presented to him he looked a bit shocked, well ..maybe not shocked but certianly surprised.
"Oh..you didn't need to give me something." He said in a humble tone, "I was more than happy to give you the feather. You don't need to feel like you owe me something in return." He continued he looked a bit uncomfertable at the attention now.
THe technician watched the procedure with a roll of his eyes. Frick..couldn't he just take the g** d*** bottle from him?
"Look kid, if your not going to ask him any question this meeting is over." The tech snapped as this was becoming more than just boring to him it was agonizing.

Aludra smiled weakly at the pat to his head, still being sheepish about his early actions, rather inappropriate in this setting. When the angel replied, the smile on the little boy's face grew a bit, and he nodded. He was definitely glad that he had an angel for a friend now. Though... hadn't his sister said that the angel was like his father? His little brother had a father who he didn't live with except on the weekends, he remembered that... He flicked his tail a bit, thinking on that fact. Haleriun valued his father more than anything, and absolutely loved spending time with him.
'Daddy...' he thought idly. That was what Hale always, always said when he was talking about his father to anyone. Even in sign language, it would be the letter 'd' tapped to his forehead. Yes, it could also stand for 'Deux' depending on the situation, but it was always... different when Hale signed it. Aludra giggled a bit when the angel so humbly declined his offer, and gave a slight smile, pressing his sinful dna, greedy thoughts, as far back in his mind as he possibly could.
"Does not feel obligated," Aludra commented simply, the little wings on his ankles flapping a bit, almost seeming envious of the larger wings, as well as their ability to keep Cestoloria off the ground as they did. "'Ludra already has too much at home," -yeah, right, he didn't think that he had enough- "And 'sides, place is strange. Pretty but strange. Would help make more homey."
It was after that statement that the tech spoke, and Aludra cringed at how sharp his voice was, even capturing Adhara's attention, who'd been preoccupied with reading a book, only half paying attention to the two Humility-based beings across the room from her. Aludra's gaze automatically sharpened into a glare, and he placed the lotion on the table in the strange room, taking a step so as to turn himself toward the tech.
"Does not like you. 'Cause of that, he's not finished meeting yet," Aludra growled angrily, hands tensing irritably at his sides, very tempted to, once again, attempt to tear off his scales. He looked up toward Cestoloria for a moment, before taking a couple steps back and flopping down on the floor near his sister's feet, tail lashing back and forth. Adhara, herself, kept on reading, petting Aludra's hair with a spare hand. He looked up toward Cestoloria and sighed a bit.
"'Ludra is greed'n'humility. Lor know why 'Ludra always angry? No wrath or others, he's just angry a lot..." he mumbled. There, it was a question. That meant that he didn't have to leave yet. He didn't really even know why, but there was something melancholy about the angel, something... off. It felt as though if he left now, people would practically forget that Cestoloria had ever existed in the first place. He didn't want that to happen.

Cestoloria seemed to cringe at the technicians words, though he himself didn't mind the meeting it always bothered him having attention drawn to him. He wasn't anything special, why they would make children baised off his DNA he couldn't fathom. But..the child was innocent, and he deserved to at least know a bit about himself he supposed.
He looked at the bottle and took it gently, gifts...he always felt uncomfertable recieving them, he didn't deserve any gifts.
"T..thankyou Aludra." He murmured holding the bottle gently between his fingers. The glass felt so smooth, he looked to Aludra when the question was posed at him. Angry? All the time?
"Y..ou are..s..still a being. Perhaps n..not human but..you can st..still feel emotions like anger." He said softly he moved over to pat the boys head,
"Ev..every one c..can get angry....p..perhaps th..there is something that m..makes you angry though?" He asked with a slight tilt of his head.

Aludra watched the angel quietly, though somehow his gaze didn't hold the same affect that most would. Rather than looking harsh or judgmental or really as though he was giving much thought to the angel at all, he was simply observing him in the same patient way that Lironax seemed to enjoy observing walls when he was told to sit still. He acknowledged Cestoloria's presence, but at the same time tried to keep himself from staring, blurring h is focus so that he wasn't bothering the angel at all. After all, he well knew what it was like to be stared at too intently. He didn't like it, either.
"Is welcome," Aludra responded simply to his angel's gracious reply, finally managing to draw his eyes away and play with the feathers of the little wings on his ankles, himself feeling a bit strange with the conversation now that he'd accidentally turned the entire thing on himself, and would therefore be stuck trying to talk about himself without abruptly changing the conversation or snapping at the angel, the former of which he would never be able to forgive himself for doing.
His tailtip twitched slightly when the angel pat the top of his head and he glanced up toward him curiously, gaze still a bit irritable given his recent telling off of the technician. He shrugged a bit. "Lir'nax doesn't get angry..." he mumbled defiantly, though it was quiet and under his breath, making it rather obvious that he didn't intend to make that argument. Of course Lironax didn't get angry. The boy was a patience child. He was physically unable to get angry.
As far as what made him angry... "'Verything seems to," he mumbled, an audible sigh passing his lips with that note as his previously-averted tri-coloured eyes glanced back up toward the brunette. "'Ludra wants but doesn't deserve. Feels need to have things, but not without cost," he tried to explain, biting at his lip with an incisor. "Is greedy, but does not deserve things he takes..."
Why couldn't this be easier...?

He listened patiently as Aludra spoke explaining how he felt and given his combination...tried to figure out how to help the poor child. Mixing greed...with humility? A humble theif in literal terms. He felt bad for the child.
Stroking his hair the angel moved in closer to where Aludra was.
"Well..I am sure with time you will ..learn to not take things but rather earn things." He murmured feeling ...as if he spoke something wrong but continued forward trying to make what he said make sense.
"I mean, given what you are..its natural to want things, but I am glad you are coming to a point where you can reconize that it isn't a good thing to want and steal." He murmured again.
