Blue padded hesitantly up the front walk, hand folded in Lapis's. He hadn't been to this house before, but Lapis had been going, and he had said that there was a new Tale here, and so Blue had asked permission to go and see, and say hello. Some of his nerve was failing him now, but it helped to have the coment serpent's reassuring presence there. Had he been by himself, or just with Ambyr, he might have talked himself out of it.
As it was, he stepped up and rang the doorbell.

Chieko heard the door, but she was in the middle of baking so many things, like brownies, cookies, fudge, muffins, mini pies... you name it, it was there. She had intended on having a bake sale, since bunny sales had dropped, and without lettece, she was afraid her lawn would dissapear. "V-Victor! I think that's for you! Please answer the door!"
The pale young man got up from the couch, closeing the book he was reading,a finger tucked between the pages to keep his place, and went to the door. For him? That was odd, he didn't know anyone. He opened the door, and blinked, longish black hair loose and down, tunic like shirt untucked. Wow, the people in front of him were... blue.... but, they looked happy at least! He smiled, shyly, and nodded to both of them. "Hello, greetings. May I be of some service?" He spoke with a soft, yet clear voice, which was laden with an understandable english accent.

"Hi," Blue said softly. "Are you Victor? I came to say hi." He fidgeted a little, tail tucked, and tried a smile.
"May we come in?" Lapis asked solemnly.

"Oh, well, hello." Victor replied, before he blinked way up at Lapis, and nodded a little bit. That one looked blue, and sounded blue, and he took a few steps back from the door to let them in "Is Miss Chieko expecting you?" He asked, softly, tilting his head to the side

"No, but I think I will not be too unwelcome," Lapis answered, the corners of his eyes crinkling with amusement. He padded inside.
Blue rather wished he had his plushie. Lapis was being weird, and the new Tale was bigger than he was. He hadn't expected that. "I'm Blue," he offered, following Lapis in. "I'm a Tale. Um. I bet you knew that."

There was a happy squeal of surprise from the kitchen, and the sound of a metal bowl hitting the floor, before laughing.
Victor rubbed the back of his hand at the noise, and looked back to Blue, looking surprised "....A tale? Really? Like me? I didn't know that." He smiled at Blue, and made a motion to the living room "Please come in. It's very nice to meet you."

"Uh huh. Lapis said that Ms. Chieko was an Author now, so I wanted to come and meet you," Blue nodded, and followed Victor into the living room, looking around with some curiosity.

"I see, I see. I'm glad you did.... She had said there were many Tales, but... I hadn't met any yet. I thought maybe I smelled..." He joked, hesitantly. He slid a hand through his hair, before he looked around the room "....So... Blue... what do you like to do?"

"You only smell like soap, not bad or anything," Blue said, straightforward. "Sometimes you can meet people at the store, and I met one girl at the park." He poked a toe at the carpet, a little at a loss. "I like to read, and sometimes I paint," he said. "Um. What about you?"

"At the store? The stationary store?" He asked, looking surprised again, before he smiled, widely. "I love to paint and read.... Chieko has an art room here. Do you want to go paint?" He asked, starting to relax a little. The boy was friendly, and he was pleased.

"Uh huh. I met a couple of people that way." Blue smiled back. "That would be neat. Can I see some of your paintings too?"

"Alright, yes, that would be nice." He said, nodding, before he turned, putting the book down on a side table, before he headed down the long hallway, and into a door. It was a room with one wall all windows, looking out over the property, and a few canvas' set up, as well as a clay wheel, and a few tables.

"Oh, this is a nice studio." Blue moved around the room, looking at everything but politely not touching yet. "Do you make pots, or does your mom do that?" He wandered between the canvases, looking with interest at the scenes painted on them.

"My... Mom?" He blinked a little, confused at the term. Was Chieko his mom? She had never asked him to call her that. He wasn't even sure it felt right to call her that, and he looked at blue "...Is that blue man your father?" He asked, before he moved to pulls some paints from a shelf

Blue perched himself on a stool, tucking one foot up under himself. "Nuh uh, that's just Lapis. He lives with us and he helps take care of me and my brothers."
