She could hear the screaming match of children downstairs from outside the estate. Drake had gone into town, so school was closed and the group of young senshi's or children who could eventually be senshis/knights/negaverse/DMC were pent up with being stuck in the estate.
Hide and seek got tiring after weeks of being cooped up in the old house, and while older members of the haven tried to help, it didn't stop kids from throwing tantrums.
Like the one now. She practically had to tear the two kids fighting apart, after navigating through the little group of them. She recognized the two, one a barely popped female chibi senshi and the other from a long line of male negaverse generals.
"Hey..Hey you two, stop fighting now." She frowned at the two and pushing them apart. "Why are you guys fighting?" It was bound to happen with children after all.
"She called me a dirty chaos agent and said I cheated at our game!" The boy pointed his finger at the girl who crossed her arms and looked away. Fai sighed.
"That's very mean Jessi..." Fai addressed the girl.
"It's stupid! We're stuck in this stupid place and nothing to do!" The girl started instead, hitting Fai right in the feels. She thought perhaps now was a good time to invest in some kind of play structure for them. More books? More games? Could she fund such things? She prayed for an easier option here...Saint Sergio Quail is free to wander in! Mintaka is powered down and would assume he was sent by one of the other members of the house to help idk you can do what u want. /flies off

He admitted even after a couple of days he was still tired. Still, Quail had duties to attend to. Making sure the children could have fun outside of worrying about being caught by Negaverse agents, away from the threat of death. No one came into his territory without him wanting to. So when Quail's Eye heard of a haven outside of the city where children were safe, he wanted to visit, wanted to see what they had, what they needed. Gray hair bounced as he worked his way up the steps of the old house and knocked. No one answered, but screaming could be heard and it made his pointed ears wiggle a bit before he slipped inside and carefully went towards the fighting children. He hummed, looking around as he wandered down corridors. He didn't want to say anything about the state of the building, because honestly, a lot of the buildings weren't kept up very well. He found them just in time to hear a kid mention they didn't have anything to do and peeked around a corner to watch them, a tiny grin playing on his childish face. Well... With a little thrum of energy, Quail turned into his animal form, the smallest quail, and darted into the crowd of children with a series of tiny quail chirps.

The tension between the kids was almost palable and Fai was on the verge of her own horror story, when the little quail darted in between all the kids and chirped.
At first everyone stared, because the shock of such a cute animal that just ran into their group was...well shocking. Even Fai was staring at it with...
"Oh!" She bent down, "Look, It's so cute!" Jessi and the young boy, who apparently set aside their differences also bent down to circle their arms around their knees.
"Do you think it's lost?"
"Where's its mommy?"
"Can we keep it?"
Kids started firing questions off, and it was like the fight hadn't happened, though she wished Jessi would apologize to the other boy, especially when it was something about sides. But the Quail was a welcome distraction.
"Now now everyone." Fai quieted them, reaching her hand out for the small bird. "You've got all my kids in a bustle little one, do you need help? Are you far from home?" She half expected the bird to actually answer her questions.

Quail just watched the kids stop fighting and look at him. He chirped again and started weaving in between kids before wandering back to the middle before Fai started questioning him. He tilted his head lightly and just jumped in her hands and seemed to nuzzle against her fingers. He wanted pets, okay? Now that the kids were focused on him, he wanted pets and he turned large brown eyes at her and chirped again. Looking to the kids, he hopped around on her hands and then tilted his head this way and that. He could transform into Quail's Eye now, give them a magic show, but should he expose himself?

Literally, it was like a shiny had been placed in front of the group of kids and they all wanted to see it, touch it. When it scampered into Fai's hands, she tried to not let out a startled squeak, her heart melting just at it. A finger came up to run down his soft down and feathers, gently so she didn't ruin his coat. His brown eyes met hers and she gave a small moment of startlement.
Animals never ceased to surprise her in their almost human like connections. The quail seemed just as easy to land in the children's hands, giving them each a turn. Everyone was quiet now in awe.
"So...So what should we do?" Fai asked them, "Do you want to set him free? Play with him?"
The boy, who had been fighting earlier grumpily came back to reality. "We don't have anywhere to play with him in this stupid house!"
Other kids agreed and Fai clasped her hands sadly. "Y..yes you're right, I'm sorry. I'm sorry you guys..." She didn't know what else to say, her gaze turning to the quail. "I suppose we'll have to take you back to the woods so that you don't wander here again..." There was loud protest from the group of children and a long sad sigh from Fai. She really needed to get them a playground or something. It wasn't fair to keep them here without something to entertain them.

It broke Quail's little heart at the sad protests and looks when Fai mentioned setting him free. Thinking a moment, he jumped out of Fai's hands and did a flip before turning into a short, silver haired man with similar colors and markings to the quail that had just been there. He held a finger to his lips and gave the children a grin. "You have to be very quiet about this, but I can bring you somewhere," he whispered to them. "No one can know about this place or about me. But, I can promise you it'll be tons of fun. You can fly there." Quail's Eye's voice sounded soft and sweet, completely honest and earnest as he crouched down lower for some of the younger ones. "If you promise to be good afterward for this pretty lady here... I won't mind taking you guys more than once." He grinned up at Fai before extending his hand. "Hello. I'm Quail's Eye."

Fai reached for the quail, only to watch in shock as it turned from the little bird into a...silver haired....man...
She fell to her knee's just a bit, staring and staring forever at the man.
"The quail turned into a man!"
"Look at his ears! Elf ears!"
"He's so handsome!!!"
Kids circled around him like he was a new shiny thing, staring up at him in awe. His voice was sincere, so it drew the children to him like a moth to the flame, Failyn still staring from her spot.
"P..Pretty lady?!" She managed to stutter out, a small blush forming, coming to stand nearer. "Fly there...." She squeaked a little. He was taking her children? Oh but...but if they wanted too. "H..Hello. hi. Yes my name is Fai, a pleasure Mister...Quail's Eye." What a interesting name. She wanted to ask..."Are you a senshi?" His signature wasn't something she could feel as a civilian and even if she was powered up, she was sure she wouldn't know. "Or..like the guardian cats?"
"Who caressssss, I wanna fly!"
"Where are we going? Is it Safe?"
"Is there lots of things to play with? Can we have candy?"
Fai had to hush them all, but they were all legit questions. She wanted to know how the little Quail answered.

"I'm not a Senshi nor a Guardian Cat. I'm Quail's Eye of the Amazon Trio, protector of Elysion and Helios." He gave her a soft bow, smile on his lips before laughing at the children, offering his hands and wiggling his fingers. "I also protect dreams of flying! Ah, no candy, I'm afraid, but there's all sorts of things you can do. You can pick flowers, and run around... You can just have fun." His eyes were soft as he talked to the children, chuckling at how earnest they were to play. He turned to look at Fai and just swung the kids' hands that held onto his, ears wiggling a little. "Naturally you are invited." While he didn't trust adults, still, he wanted to make sure there were not going to be any problems with him borrowing the kids for a bit.

"Elysion...Helios?" The names flew right over Fai's head, as she tried to quiet the chattering children. "Those...are places? A person?" Was it another faction in the the many factions?
"Wait, please wait." Fai queited all the children, all watching intently with wide eyes. Like their very lives hung in the balance with her next statement. "I would love too, but would you mind if we talked? I mean...after we go there, Okay stop giving me those eyes you guys." She ran a hand through long white curls.
"Please take care of us Quail? And of course all the children, you will do as he says. Whatever. He. Says." Because Dreams and Flying and stranger danger but she was keeping an open mind and open heart here.

"Elysion is a place. Helios is a... person, you could say," Quail said with a little chuckle. His eyes went to the kids again, seeing how excited they were, and then turned to look at Fai again before tilting his head, looking far more like a child than a grown man. "..Oh, yes. I understand you'll need to discuss this with me." She was a care taker after all. It'd be weird if she didn't talk to him about it. "Should we discuss this now, but over there?" He motioned to another room and started padding that way, half expecting her to follow him. Honestly, with Quail it was hard to understand him unless one was of his culture, or the way he'd grown up in a strict household. Still, he wasn't meaning to be clipped and abrupt, he just wanted to get these kids somewhere they'd be safe, even if it was for just a few hours.

"Oh well, that makes sense." She nodded, "And Helios?" She wondered what sort of person it was. Or what Elysion even was.
"Wait...Wait please..." She followed after him quickly, "I meant...I'm sorry I hope I didn't offend you. I was thinking more we could talk after we get there but I guess it makes sense now to talk about it. I just...This won't hurt them will it?" She laced her hands together. "And you aren't...going to keep them at this field?"

He didn't want to rehash Helios and Elyion to anyone. Much less someone he didn't know. So, Quail just smiled in a way that made him seem like he didn't understand and she moved on to the more important bit. Quail's Eye looked at her seriously, hands behind his back. "In the old days I might have. But... I've changed. I'm a protector now. These kids deserve to have some time where they don't have to worry about being caught and drained. I can't keep them there. It takes a lot, a lot of energy. Still... It's worth it so they could have a few hours of fun." He just put a happy sort of smile on his face and rocked on his heels in a very child like way.

"Okay..Okay good." Failyn nodded and then looked over at them.
"Please, take as many as you can for a good time. It's been a long time. IF you need anything, I am always here." She couldn't power up with the baby she held, but she would make sure that everyone was protected and cared for.

Quail gave a nod and smiled a bit wider at her. "Of course!" He chirped, nodding a little more. "I'll take care. I hope you stay as safe as you can. If you need somewhere to hide... Look for me in the park. I'm always there. I'll find you and bring you to the safe place I call my territory." As he talked, he stepped away and then waved after her. Once he was in the clear, he looked around and then poofed himself into a little quail bird and flew off over the buildings.
