What's in a name?
Although the name Elijah creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it causes an emotional intensity that is hard to control. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the nervous system, worry, and mental tension.
Your name of Elijah has created a most expressive nature, idealistic and inspirational, driven with a strong inner urge to be of service in some way that would uplift humanity as a whole. However, there is a tendency to assume too heavy a burden of responsibility for others, which leads to worry and undue concern. People with problems are drawn to you as they recognize you as one who has understanding and gives not only sympathy and comfort but provides also some constructive advice or assistance. You have a generous quality to your nature, but you must guard carefully against giving more than you receive or you will find yourself doing without because you have helped someone else.

Pippin, having already today gotten himself lost on the way to the convience store and got sidetracked for an hour, finally makes his way through the aisles of the targetted store.
April, clinging mercilessly onto his shoulder with a pincer grip, watches with wide eyes as they move down the aisle, oogling at all these neat and strange items. Right behind him follows Tobias, arms filled to cover his face with items they wish the purchase.
"Remind me why you wouldn't let me get a cart again?" he growls from behind a box of cookies.
Pippin chuckles softly. "I don't have the time to try and get April into one of the seats, nor off my arm in the first place."
"And you don't trust me with-" Tobias starts to retort, interrupted mid-sentence as his wing gives a twitch, knocking cans across the floor. "- a cart?"
Pippin turns around, clicking his tongue and gathering the items with the one free hand he has. "You're an accident waiting to happen, that's why."
"I'm sure everyone's father gives them this much 'encouragement'," he grumbles audiably, his pile of items wobbling and threatening to tip over. He manages to steady them by clamping both feet down to even the balance.
Pippin continues down the last aisle. "First of all, I'm not really a father, not in any legal way anyway. Second, stop complaining, we're nearly finished."
Tobias rolls his eyes, though any part of his face is covered by the items. He follows the sound of Pippin, and would do the same with April if she dared to make any.
Paying at the register and starting off for a walk home, Tobias was commanded to start off ahead and fly the items home. Grumbling as he leaves the ground, he manages to arrive a good hour before Pippin, April, and Curiosity even set foot back on the property of the Forgotten Documents HQ.

Later in the evening..
April sits still, as she often does, both hands wrapped around the base of a golden mirror. It isn't unusual for her to become mesmerized by certain things, objects or people, and this is no exception. Gazing into the mirror, it seems too blurred to her eyes to catch on to her own reflection.
Tobias pokes his head into the room, having heard the TV on. Crossing the floor, he switches it off manually and sits down next to his baby sister.
Craning his head, he gets a good look over her shoulder at the object occupying her attention. Raising one eyebrow, he talks to her in a soft voice, to make his interruption of the silence seem more natural. "Hey, Turtle, where'd you get that from?"
He reaches over her far shoulder and taps his index finger on the top of the mirror. April's black eyes slide up to where he pokes, then just as slowly up to his face in a questioning stare.
"Didn't think you'd tell me," he laughs quietly, "But it was worth the try." Turning his tone more seriously, he straights up and holds out a hand. "I dunno who let you play with that, but it's not good for a baby to play with a mirror, in case you break it. Give it to ol' Tobias and he'll look after it for you."
Reluctantly, and after a few minutes of an outstretched hand and a pleading expression, Tobias wins over the mirror from the silent baby.
"Thank you," he says solemnly, rising to his feet to bow his head. "About dinner, so you two play nice."
After putting the mirror on his bedside table, directly across from the photo Phoenix took on his arrival home from his trip around the world ["For memory's sake! You're lucky I'm not grounding your a** right now, boy!"] and insisted he keep a copy, the thought of the mirror slips Tobias' mind completely until much later that night.

When the mirror's next looked at by someone, the general haze it had has gone. Parts are clearer, if a little dirty, most of the haze seems to have clumped together in the middle and is slightly vibrating inside the mirror...

Much later in the day it was when Tobias returned. He stumbled in at a quarter past eleven, rubbing his eyes with balled fists. Sitting down on the side of his bed, he adjusts the photograph of his more childish self, grinning ear to ear after returning from his long worldwide journey.
Then, he saw it.
"Oh, Turtle's mir'r.." he murmurs gently in recognition, lifting up the thing as he announces it. Squinting, he brings the mirror closer and farther from his face at the sight of the clumps. Dirt, perhaps?
Taking the mirror in his right hand, he uses his left to attempt to clean the reflective surface with the edge of his shirt.

The haze continues to vibrate, and when the surface is rubbed by Tobias, parts of it group together to form tiny shapes. Those shapes formed, and a little obvious, they swish backwards and forwards lazily, haze still dancing around the mirror.

"Hey, what the --"
Tobias moves off the bed and flicks on the light, making sure the door is shut completely. He moves the mirror back and forth in the light, making sure he's seeing things correctly.
Raising an eyebrow, he moves the mirror in front of his face to see if it'll, indeed, reflect anything at all. Nothing.. He brings it closer again to see it better, wondering if he made the smudge worse. Absentmindedly, but now wide awake, he rubs the mirror again to see if it'll do anything. After doing so, he holds it out at arm's length to examine if his attempts did anything at all.
