It had been a while since a kid came from the shop, and Switch was currently counting herself lucky. It meant, since that creepy book, everything that had left this store was pure profit for once. It also meant there were no Guardians coming storming back to her, yelling at her or threatening her for whatever reason.
Clearly, Kay did not tell her about the other three items he had his hand in. Oh well.
The blue haired human was looking at a magazine, taking this time at work to relax from...well...work!

Normally one wouldn’t find Kaida out of the cafe so it was an odd afternoon that found her strolling calmly along to Balcombe Curiosities. There were two reasons for this, one there was only so long you could put off going to the place both your daughters came from and two she might meet this Kay get to actually know him instead of having the admittedly bias opinions of her wife and daughter (not that she could claim she was going completely free from bias, both their thoughts on him had affected her) though she knew it was unlikely that she would catch him, it wasn’t like he had to be there all the time.
Finally arriving at the store she was pleased to find it open and headed on in.

Switch looked up from her magazine when she heard the door open, taking a look at the woman that wandered in. It was a stranger, that was for sure. The blue haired woman had no second sense to speak of (that was of course, until someone touched an item), so she had no inkling as to who this woman could be, or who would be attached to her. The only person in her Family that would have an idea was downstairs, probably sleeping or playing with Roxy and Gera.
"Hello! Welcome to Balcombe Curiousities." Switch said pleasantly, smiling at the woman. "If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to ask."

Kaida took in the woman’s distinctive blue hair and with a smile asked, “Hi, Switch is it? I’m Kaida, Victoria’s and Lucifel’s Mom, I thought I should actually come and see this place some time.”. As she said this she approached whilst scanning her eyes around the mess that was the inside of the store.

The green eyed woman looked surprised when addressed by name, about to ask who the woman was before her own question was answered. Kaida...that name was familiar! Ah, that was why! The moment Victoria and Lucifel were named, she understood. This was Vlad's wife. "Yes, I'm Switch." Smiling, the human woman got to her feet, swiftly moving around the desk towards the woman, holding out her hand.
"It's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Song! Please, take as long as you need. How are the girls, anyway?"

Returning the hand shake Kaida gave a small laugh, “Kaida please, I don’t think I’ve been called Mrs. Song by anyone but the priest at the wedding and telemarketers. The girls are fine thank you, staying out of trouble for once. How are you and Kay?”.
As her eye’s finished their sweep to land back on Switch, after all it was only polite to look at the person you where talking to, something caught them just out of the corner. Glancing back over she felt one of her eyebrows raise slightly, was that a Gogh Reed? It appeared that the description of this place having everything in it was true, she had thought it would be more nick-nacks and antiques.

"Alright then, Kaida." Switch chuckled softly, shaking the woman's hand firmly before releasing her, stepping out of her way. While she wanted to talk to her, she didn't want to be a hinderance. Unless, of course, the woman wanted her attention in that sense. Kay was brought up, and she shrugged.
"He's...himself. Doing fairly well though, as far as I can tell. You can ask him yourself if you like, he's downstairs. I can call him up!" Swtich had moved back against her desk, freeing Kaida from needing to look at her or stay near her to talk. She could see the woman's interest in the shop...she just hoped an item wouldn't show interest back!

“That’d be nice, it’ll be good to actually meet him after all I’ve heard about him.” She replied drifting slightly towards the Gogh Reed, there was something about it that niggled at her mind and said ‘Look At Me!’. That probably should have been a warning sign what with the item’s well known mischievous nature (though how an item, which is by nature inanimate, gained such a reputation was curious).

"I'll...go get him, then." Switch chuckled, though she had to admit she was a little hesitant about the whole ordeal; what had gone on between Victoria, Kay and Vlad hadn't been the most comfortable thing ever. She excused herself to the basement, leaving Kaida to look at the item that seemed to be calling her.
She couldn't tell if the sinking feeling in her stomach was from the knowledge something was going to happen, or the idea that something could happen.
Once downstairs, she flicked on a light and, as she predicted Kay was passed out on the bed down there, thankfully alone. The light never woke him up, the only thing that did was touching him. That was just what Switch did; she put her hand on his shoulder and shook him lightly, just enough to wake him up.
"Eeh? Wha? Na?" He said sleepily, blinking his red eye open. Yawning he sat up, stretching his arms out over his head. As always and despite the cold, he was only wearing pants; no shirt, no shoes, not even socks...just pants.
"Victoria's Mom is here, she wants to meet you. Her name is Kaida...take a few minutes to wake up, but be upstairs soon, got it?" She asked, recieving a nod and a smile in response. Xbalanque was sitting up at least, scrubbing his fingers through his hair.
Soon enough, Switch was heading back upstairs, looking around for Kaida. "He'll be up in a minute! He was sleeping." She chuckled, peering around a stack.

Switch really had nothing to worry about, Kaida was often the most level headed of the family and thus had no ill feelings to Kay from the incident, after all he had done nothing wrong but look out for her child and unless Kay actually did something with Victoria then he was safe.
Whilst Switch was downstairs getting Kay she gave into her curiosity and went over to the item she’d been staring at. Picking up the small fruit like item she gave a small jump when it immediately transformed into its Zero Staff form, that was odd. Seeing as it had that form available it must have all its other too and with that thought she tried to get it to transform into its Rainbow Headband form only to find it that it wouldn’t. Curious as to why she tried to get it to simply transform back to its neutral state and found that it wouldn’t, it seemed quite persistent that it stay in its current form.
Her inspection of it was interrupted by Switch’s shout and she distractedly gave a ‘Hmm’ in reply, almost instantly going back to frowning at the oddness of the item. Why was it stuck in this particular form?

Switch definitely felt the item latch onto Kaida, the invisible bond that formed when the item wanted to live, but would accept no one else to protect it until it could fend for itself. That item wanted to be part of Kaida's family...and Switch couldn't help but groan in disbelief. That Family...that poor, poor family. There was only one time the shop had been visited by a Song that had not resulted in the acquiring of a child. Once. Out of four. Apparently, there was a seventy-five percent chance of that family being targeted. It must have been a good family to have.
"It's...an interesting staff." She commented idly, trying to figure out how to get the woman to take it, without being too obvious about it. Moments later, Kay came upstairs, looking around. "Ah...Kaida, this is Kay. Kay, this is Kaida, Victoria's Mom."
"Hi." He said with a bit of a yawn, pressing the heel of his palm under his only eye. Nahual, the serpent in his hair, his permanent pet, coiled back to look at the stranger, regarding her with it's golden eyes.

“Mmm, yes, it’s quite odd. It was a Gogh Reed just a second ago but transformed into this state the second I put a finger on it, I have no clue why.” Kaida replied finally pulling her attention away from the mystery of the item and back to original purpose for being here, not that she put the item down, instead she absentmindedly twirled the staff in her fingers.
“Hi, Nice to meet you Kay.” Kaida said once introduction where made, she gave a small smile at is obvious sleepiness, she was a bit sorry for having woken him up.

"Curious indeed." Switch said softly, though it wasn't curious to her. She knew exactly what was going on. Kaida already had two Curio children in her home, so she must have some inkling as to what was going on. Still, for whatever reason, the shop was forcing Switch into silence on the matter.
"Nice to meetcha, too." Kay said happily, grabbing Nahual and wiping the sleep from the serpent's feathers too, much to Nahual's distain. "I think it wants you to take it home~" He hummed out, being on topic. The shop never tried to silence Kay like it silenced Switch...while the young man couldn't say exactly what was going on, he could allude to it more than his Guardian could.

“Wants me to take it home?” Kaida asked curiously, why would an item what her take it ho- Ooooooh. Was this another one that wanted to become a child? Looking pleasantly surprised she asked, “Another Child? It looks like the house will be that much more full.”

Now that Kaida connected the dots, Switch felt the invisible hand leave her, no longer filtering her words. She smiled softly at the woman, reaching up to tweak her own bangs. "Seems like it...that item is very attached to you, I can practically see it making grabby hands at you." Her smile turned apologetic, and she was fairly plesed that Kaida had yet to blow up.
"Poooor Tori~" Kay chuckled, moving to sit on his Na's oak desk.
