Chloe stood patiently by the large water fountain, a small smile on her face as she watched the watery Frei lean forward and dip his finger into the liquid. He was still very quiet and seemed just a tad shell-shocked from everything that had happened. Sevilin made sure to stay close to Chloe even as he explored the pretty fountain.
They were waiting for We`rika.
Roux floated to the far side in the shade of a large tree, arms crossed as he glowered darkly at Chloe and Sevilin. A part of him wanted to go meet the other Raeven but another part insisted that he remain steadfastly where he was. He flared his wings lightly and watched them from the corner of his eyes.

We`rika almost broke the steering wheel off his car from frustration. He had hit traffic in no time and screamed silently within. He needed to get to Chloe damnit! God only knows for what, but that didn't matter. Hell, maybe she was having problems with that b*****d Aphismet. The Huichol would gladly rid his sweet Chloe of that pesky fly. All the more reason for this ******** traffic to move!
He was already panting by the time he found Chloe. He kinda forgot to ask where she would be exactly and he had already lapped himself once around the parl. "I'm... I'm sorreh I'm la'e..." Out of the corner of his eye, We`rika caught Roux and smiled devilishly, "Aww lil Roo is here... How swee' " He waved obnoxiously, the toothy grin still playing across his dark face. "Sooo..." He slid over to Chloe and put an arm around her, "Wha' did ya need me for, darlin'?"

Chloe was taken by surprise as We`rika hurried up to her and quickly slid his arm around her. She blinked, looking back towards Roux when he mentioned him. "O-Oh.. yes well... h-he doesn't really like being out on sunny days t-too much.."
She smiled as she turned and motioned toward Sevilin, who was now floating upright beside the fountain, watching both Chloe and We`rika with a soft expression, lips parted slightly. "O-Oh... I w-wanted to ask you something.."
She detatched herself from We`rika's side, walking over to place her arm around Sevilin, who immediatly turned to hug her tightly, hiding his face in her pink hair. "W-Well.. you see... w-we need someone to b-be guardian to Sevilin here..." She gently patted the Frei's back. "A-And we at the lab was w-wondering if you'd... be up to it.."

"Aw, poor baby..." We`rika regarded Roux with false sympathy before his attention found Chloe again. His usual smug smile fell from his vulgar lips, knowing this meeting really had nothing to do with she and he in that way.
"Guardian... Wha' d'ya mean? Babysittin'? Or like... Like adoption?" His long canines bit into his cheek as he thought about the responsibility and, more pressing, the consequences. Or what of his parole officer! What would she say? Did she have any say in it? Was it legal for him to? The shaman's long ears fell back against his skull, frustrated with so many questions and not enough immediate answers.
He pulled closer to Chloe and this Sevilin. The Huichol could only see her long navy hair and a wary eye that watched him with a hidden curiosity. Pretty eyes though, lined with a soft red and glittering wings. "Can I see her firs'... " We`rika teased softly, amused at how tight Sevilin was clinging to Chloe, about to merge with her by the looks of it.

Chloe gently tugged Sevilin from her, kindly guiding him forward so he was in front of her to face We`rika. "A-Adoption.. if.. if you'd be willing." She bit her lip apprehensivly, she didn't know much about We`rika's home life, but Kyou had decided that this man would be good for Sevilin.
She balked slightly, blinking as she peeked out from behind the delecate Raeven. "S-Sh.. o-oh... N-No, We`rika. Sevilin is a boy." She smiled and gently patted the Frei's lower back. He looked back at her, reaching down to take her hand even as he floated toward the stranger. She gave it a gentle squeeze and he let go, turning fully to face We`rika.
Roux scowled from the shade of a nearby tree, eyes narrowing in annoyance. He hated that We`rika b*****d - he was only so willing to pretend he didn't hear the scalding insults that had been murmured. And when he touched Chloe... if he still had any feathers they'd be ruffled in aggrivation.
His fists clenched as he contemplated sending some sort of icy weapon his way.

We`rika slapped a hand over his mouth, embarrassed for the both of them. Oh s**t! A boy? Was that possible? He didn't think guys could be like... that pretty. "O-Oh... I'm sorreh... eh... haha I..." He just stopped talking for the sake of all of them. Pulling on his mohawk self-consciously, he closed the distance between Sevilin and he, not really sure what to say.
Sevilin watched in silence as the man made a fool of himself. His fear had evaporated, finding him to be completely harmless. But still... he was new, strange. He needed to be tested. "Can I hug you?" Sevilin didn't wait for a reply and latched onto We`rika, clutching his back tightly.
The shaman completely froze as the spirit hugged him. He looked at Chloe for answers and back to the pretty fairy that rested his head against his shoulder. Finally his dark arms wrapped around Sevilin, minding his delicate wings.
After a moment, Sevilin pulled back with a soft smile on his face. "You fit right..."
We`rika laughed. "I'm glad. Miss Chloe, do I need ta like... sign anythin' or... wha'?"

Chloe smiled as she stood back and watched Sevilin interact with We`rika. As she'd hoped the watery Frei took to him quickly, be it because Sevilin was a good-natured Frei or because the hunches had been right and We`rika really did have the potential to be a good guardian for the Raeven.
"Ah.. n-no, you don't need to sign anything, just.. p-perhaps check in with the lab from time to time. S-Sevilin will eventually need a checkup from Dr. Tsu like all of th-the other Raevens a-ahm..."
She walked toward them, fingers pressed lightly against her lips as she absently watched the two.

"Ah okay... I can do tha'..." His words were for Chloe, but he was watching Sevilin and Sevilin was watching him. There was a slight frown to his little lips and an underlying melancholy to his eyes that slightly worried him. Apparently this child had some baggage, but We`rika had plenty to go with his. "I... have ta make a few calls abou' this and.... th'sooner th'better sooo if ya dun need anythin' else from me I'lla jes go home and ge' him...... sitcheated?" It was now dawning on the Huichol how much of a lifestyle change this would be.
Sevilin looked down at the sidewalk as We`rika continued to talk. He thought he heard trickle of doubt in his new guardian's voice. 'Does he not really want me either? Am I a burden that's pushed onto another and then another?' The little Frei's mood dropped heavily and his droopy eyes looked back up at We`rika and he looked back down smiling contentedly. Contentedly. He hoped that's what it was.

Chloe nodded, smiling shyly. Things would turn out well... she could feel it. The receptionist reached out for the soft, sad looking Frei, timidly wrapping her arms around his thin shoulders. "I... h-hope you f-feel happier, Sevilin."
She whispered privately to the Frei. "H-He's a nice p-person. You'll l-like him." She let go, stepping back. "B-Be good for him, Sevilin, o-okay?"
She watched as the huichol and Raeven left together, giving a satisfied sigh. She knew that a wrong choice hadn't been made when We`rika had been decided upon for Sevilin's new guardian. Turning away she headed in the opposite direction with Roux beside her.
