"Ready?" Trio asked, as she watched Abishai get into the car after tucking Reverie into the carseat. She tilted her head, not pulling out quite yet. Instead, she shifted a little, wishing the wheel didn't poke into her belly quite so insistently and half-wondering whether she'd been right to bring Bran along as well. With every other adopted child, those she'd spoken to about them originally were delighted at chances to watch them grow. But... the Medium was different, after all. Trio still rather wished she could've found a legitimate excuse to leave the poor child at home.

"You need a smaller wheel," Abishai observed, offering Trio a sympathetic smile. Reaching down, he smoothed out his ankle-length gypsy-style skirt -- he'd chosen to cross-dress again today -- then buckled himself in. "I'm ready when you are."

"I need a smaller stomach," Trio muttered in return, rolling her eyes before starting off. "It shouldn't take too long. I got there last time by walking."
In the back seat, Bran reached out toward Reverie, trying to catch a bit of the other child in one hand.

Abishai grinned at Trio's comment, shaking his head slightly. "You'll have that smaller stomach soon enough, I'm sure. Considering how quickly Gaia seems to make its inhabitants reproduce..."
The little kitsune watched Bran's attempt to touch him with some bemusement, then he reached out in return, patting Bran's hand lightly.

Trio stuck her tongue out at him, her eyes remaining on the road as she drove. It wasn't that it was a particularly far distance away. Instead, it was just that, being pregnant enough now to wonder just when it would all be OVER, she didn't quite feel up to walking the whole way.
Bran cooed at Reverie, catching a finger and holding on in merry cheer.

When they reached the building, Abishai stared up at it, one eyebrow raised. "The house looks like it's crying," he mused, then slid out of the car and proceeded to work on freeing Reverie from his carseat. The little kitsune didn't particularly want to let go of his new friend, however, and Shai was left trying to coax Reverie to let go of Bran.

Trio blinked, slower to get out of the car as she considered that description. "You think so?" she asked, straightening and looking up at it for several seconds before digging into the back seat for Bran. He was immediately settled onto one hip, but a child that small was entirely too oblivious to help Trio out by holding on himself. Instead, he looked all around him in fascinated curiosity, clapping one hand against Trio's chest.

"Yeah. Don't you see it?" Abishai soon had Reverie set against his own hip, and the kitsune snuggled in against his father as Shai padded towards the house. "It just looks kind of... sad."

"Sad, I can see," Trio said dryly, hanging back just a little to let Abishai knock. "But crying?"

The demon flushed faintly as he glanced back at Trio. "It did to me," he said quietly, then knocked on the door a few times before stepping back a pace.

The door opened on the first knock and The Medium stood, looking a little more irritable than usual. Then again, having a weird alien court you kind of did that to a person, didn't it? Voided eyes glared down at the two people - one she had never seen before, and the other who just asked too many questions.
And did they have children? She recognized one as her kind, but the other?
The Death Iridae turned unceremoniously and ambled her way back into her cottage, sitting on her sofa. The door wasn't closed - it was a quiet invitation - or a reluctant admittance - into her home.

Bran laughed as the door opened, clapping his hand against Trio's chest again before reaching out to the woman walking away. Trio blinked at that, then glanced to Abishai before moving quietly forward.

"...That's happy," Abishai whispered, one eyebrow raised, then he followed after Trio into the house and shut the door behind them. Curiouser and curiouser! "You're the Medium, right?" Obvious questions for the win!

Voided eyes lifted and locked in on Abishai, "No, I'm the easter bunny," came the droll, monotonous voice of the woman, "Did you come here to ask obvious questions or are you actually not going to waste my air?"
Her wings gave a slight twitch, a rain of broken and bent feathers falling around her in a flurry of white and black.
