It was the weekend. The weekend wasn't really much different than the week for the sort of self employed illistratior. Today though boredom had set in harder than normal and Layla could not sit and pretend to work any longer. So she gathered some essentials and started to head out. But as she pulled on her shoes her eyes rose to see Tamesis hanging there on the wall, hiding at the moment.
"Awww, I bet you're bored too" the kitsune realized. "That must be horrible to just have to hang." She got up and grabed the tapresty, slipping it into her pack that had some water and food because she had no idea she'd be out walking. With her finale item stored away safely Layla rose and walked out the door.
It was hours later, really midday, Layla found herself in the park. She grined, she hadn't been in a park for years. She pulled her backpack and placed it on a table, and pulled out her tapresty.
"Still hiding?" she asked the taprestry that was still blank, "Okay, okay. You want to hide, that's fine, but at least enjoy the sun. I'm going to be on the slide" she told the fabric with a mix of mother and childlike additude. "Enjoy the sun TamTam" Lyala said with a giggle before running off happily to play on the child structure with the five year olds.

He was at the park. He realised. The same one where he met Aurelius. That was much to ponder about, whether they really hated each other, from their very last meeting. How so, then, did his feet take him out of the house and here.
Frowning, he plopped down on the grass, staring up at the sky in a rather bored way. Perhaps he shouldn't think of it now. He didn't want to meet her anyway.
It wasn't long till his orange orbs fell on the rather grownup female, having fun at the playground. Observing this with a rather mixed feeling between amusement and wonder, Mereneth had absolutely no idea that another Illusionary was nearby.

Layla laughed, bright and cheery, knowing she was getting looks of confusion and she noticed one mother call her kid away as she got to close to the kitsune. Maybe a part of her pulled away in hurt and anger, wanted to go and yell at the close minded b***h about how just because she liked donig childish thing didn't mean she was dangerous to children.
But Layla stoped listening to that part of her a long, long time ago. Instead she waved cheeirly to the mother and ran up to go down the slide once more. She slide down happily, continuing the momentum in hope that she didn't ruin that kid's day by being herself. Besides Layla saw a real intresting looking child.
A child with a tail...a tail on fire! Now that, the kitsune had to admit, was cool. She walked twords him and sat down at a safe distence. Layla looked around, wondering if he had a parent around somewhere. Oh well, her eyes looked forward to the boy again, grining brightly.
"hello, I'm Layla. I love your tail. What's your name? I have a tail too" she brought hers into veiw, "But it's not onfire like you"

The woman got pretty weird glances from other, he observed. Even a mother had pulled her child away to avoid her, obviously thinking that she was a lunatic or somewhat. But now that he thought of it, what was wrong with having a little fun? If that was what she wanted to do, so be it. He didn't want to poke his nose into other people's affairs, now that he had gotten control over her powers and realised that throwing fire at everyone wasn't as fun as it was before. So he liked to throw a little flame now and then, but that was just to see that annoyed expression on his mother's face.
He was too lost in his thoughts to realise that he was being approached by the woman, only after he heard her voice. His tail. Blinking slightly, he realised that the invisibility spell must have worn off and fluttered his wings slightly. His mother had put the spell on him with the initiative to stop cutting his shirts and pants to fit his wings and tail through. However, it didn't seem to have broken throught the cloth even though it wore off.
Smiling up at her, as his eyes grazed her furry tail with piqued interest, "I'm Mereneth." The grin grew wider, happier as she mentioned the fire. "Well, I can make it disappear too." Screwing up his face and concentrating, the fire disappeared with a "pfft" sound. It was rather interesting and fun to do that, though it took much of his concentration.

The child smiled up at her, making Layla like him instantly. She had little intrest in boring children and even with that tail if he wasn't willing to talk then he would of been boring. Layla came to the park to avoid boredom. Instead though this child was bright and intresting and that tail thing made her own start to swish, back and forth.
"Ohhhh, wow that is cool" she praised, reaching over to feel where the fire once was, to prove it was really gone. The kitsune pulled her hand back though as she looked at Mereneth's face. If it took that much concentration it proably wouldn't last long. "That's very neat, I can do some stuff with my tail" she said, moving it around for him, even tickling his nose with the tip, "But nothing really cool like that. I got ears though" she giggle and pointed up at her ears as they twitched twords her finger. "Well non human ears. You got wings, I like your wings too. Very dragony. Are you part dragon?" she asked him.

As she reached over to touch it, he frowned momentarily, but it disappeared quickly off his face. Was she fireproof? He wondered fleetingly, being daring enough to touch it. But sure enough, after a while, the flame poofed back onto his tail giving off warmth and flickers of light. He giggled lightly as the tail tickled his nose and cocked his head to stare at her ears. Was she part fox? Part of that weird company thing that made Alora with animal DNA? Oh well, he'd never know. There were different people here around in Gaia.
Part dragon. He let himself give a glance back at his leathery wings and they seemed to flutter back in response. He'd never actually thought of that, but anyway, he knew what exactly he was. "I'm an Illusionary." He told Layla, still debating inwardly about the subject. Well, his sister would have a dragon right? And she would bring it home. Then, he could compare himself and the dragon and see! A slow grin spread across his face.

"Really? A Illusionary?" Layla looked up, ears flicking back slightly in confusion. Her tail swished back and forth though as she was happy and it was doing a lazy wag. Layla liked being a kitsune, she enjoyed her ears and tail, and she loved things that didn't look like humans. Attracted to odd and werid Layla was intrested in anything she didn't know or understand, eager to learn all that she could. "I never heard of those before" she admited.
"Me I'm a kitsune" she informed him proudly, "That means I'm part fox" she explained, answering his question as she showed off her ears and tail more, her tail moving over to tickle under his nose. Layla was still wary of a parent just walking up so she kept her distence and didn't try to touch or hold the boy. She didn't want anyone to think she was stealing him, but she also enjoyed touching so she decided her tail would be good enough, you can't steal with a tail but she could tickle. Layla loved tickling.

"We're a kind of...well.." A kind of what exactly? He frowned, not knowing how to explain. "Well, we start off as illusions." There. That should be rather obvious, wouldn't it? And anyway, it seemed that not many people knew about them. Not that he really cared.
A kitsune? Well, she was partly a fox, so that didn't exactly rule out D-Corp. But...he sighed. Why was he thinking so much anyway? He gave a little sneeze as she tickled him again, rubbing his nose with his finger. If only she knew, he had sneaked out of the house. Then again, Mum was at work.

"Illusions?" Layla blinked, then remembered Tamesis. "Hey will you check something out that I have?" she asked, getting up and again keeping her distence. She may seem carefree, simple and navie but she knew what kind of charge she could get with if someone made enough noise, especailly if that someone was the legal gaurdian to this cute little boy.
If she knew that there was no gaurdian Layla would of relaxed, then she would stick close to that boy to make sure that no one did steal him, before walking him home. Layla had no curfew, nothing to worry about. She would see nothing wrong in making sure this boy got home. Besides maybe she'd get invited in for a meal. Ohhhh, home cooked meal, she rarely got that.

"Yeah...illusions." He could briefly remember when he was one, when he was floating around in the air.
"Something? What?" He cocked his head, staring at her as his red fringe flopped over his eyes and was pushed away impatiently.

Layla smiled and lead him twords her bag and the table. They reached their quickly and she snatched the bag, opening it carefully. She pulled out the taprestry then stopped, blinking as something new was on it. No more was it that mildly evil symbol, now it was...a boy, face obscure, but hair and skin seeable. A little blonde boy in what looked to be some sort of habit. The kitsune tilted her head, then showed the boy.
"The picture changed" she told him, pointing out the design (it was harder to see now but still there). "It use to be just that, but now a boy is on it. I call this...well him I geuss, Tamesis, or sometimes TamTam" Layla grined brightly, tail wagging. "Is this what you were? Sometime the image goes away, and sometimes it comes back, it went away for a while but now it changed. Werid huh?"

"Something? What?" He cocked his head, staring at her as his red fringe flopped over his eyes and was pushed away impatiently. Leaning over to stare at the tapestry, he was about to comment on how nice it was, but froze. Somehow he could make out a blonde boy. And it wasn't just his imagination.
"Another Illusionary." He meant to murmur this to himself, but somehow, as the words spilled out of his mouth, it was said out loud.

"Another Illusionary...like you?" Layla leaned over the boy to look at the picture, seeing that boy just sit there, perfectly still, face unseeable but figure clear. It didn't looke like it belonged their, the boy, he seemed misplaced, or worse traped. Layla could think of nothing worse then being traped somewhere, anywhere.
Then it clicked in her mind (Layla could be eaisly distracted and there for kind of slow at times). "I'm going to have a child!?" She demanded suddenly, jumping back. She looked around wildly and then at the boy. Okay kids were cute and she liked them but kids required...responblity....and...and...comiment and all sort of stuff that Layla didn't want to handle.
"Are you sure? You aren't making a mistake"

Another one. Like him. He was sure it was. It had been ages since he last seen one in that form, still floating, that was. He stared at it, wondering if he had looked like that before. She seemed pretty shocked to have a kid out of a sudden, not that he could blame her. His mother got a shock when she had to get three kids at once...but that was acceptable...right?
"It is another Illusionary." He confirmed.

Layla had to sit down for a moment as her eyes went out of focus. A mother? Her? Jesus, who the hell decided she needed to be a mom? For the first time in a long time Layla felt fear. A child...a child, how could she be a mother? She was irresponible, lazy and selfish. And she liked herself that way! Layla would never change, not again. How many people really liked themselves? Liked their faults and strengths, liked their life?
"Jesus" she whispered, her head hanging. "I'd be a horrible mother"
