It had been quiet at Imperium for awhile, something which Gina had been suprised at. Surely a few of the substantia who had been sent out would've had their animus activated by now... These things took time, she supposed.
Patiently she sat at the front desk, trying to be the good receptionist.
(( When Tezi comes back: forgive me if I do anything with Gina she wouldn't do or say >>; I wanted to get this done with. ))

Selior looked exhausted, no doubt about it. His eyes had dark circles under them and his hair was particularly disheveled and chaotic. His sleeping cycle had gotten all-lllll messed up since the charming little brat entered his life. She always wanted to wake up at such unnatural hours... imagine, starting your day at 10 am and going to bed at 1 am! How could she manage going to bed that early?!
Anyway.
In walked a werewolf wearing a half buttoned shirt and dirty jeans. He was dragging a much smaller creature with pretty greenish hair, which was about as disheveled as the werewolf's. "Oh, so I get to come in to the fabled office now, do I? Really. Don't make any exceptions for me or anything. I'm just your average guy stuck with a primeval kleptomaniac that exploded from a pair of dice- I want my dice back!" He declared, while pushing Felicis forward as if presenting her before the woman. Selior wasnt much for beating around the bush at this point.
Felicis sighed, rolled her eyes, and then grinned at Gina. "He's just mad cause' I won his bracelet." She informed, pointing at a punky black wrist-band on one arm.
"It's not.. a bracelet.." Growled the werewolf.
"Whatever. So, the note my ... uh.. daddy? Found on my box said to come here. Er, something like that. Here we are!"

So the tessarae's animus had finally been activated. Good, she had started to worry a little about that one...
Gine raised san eyebrow at Selior as he entered. Despite his looks, he must've been alrght. Felicis' animus wouldn't have been able to have been activated by him otherwise. They had a certain way of picking out the people best for them, and Gina would have to trust in that.
She stood and held out her hand to Felicis, "I'm Gina, what's your name?"
She smiled, then looked back up at Selior.
"I'm sorry, but I can't do that. She's going to stay as a child. Hopefully you'll agree to keep her with you, it's rather important that you do. You see, the tessarae you were given had something inside them called an Animus. You were chosen by her animus, and it was activated when you got her. That's how she became this girl." She motioned towards Felicis.
Not waiting for him to protest, Gina led them to the trap door, heaving it open. "Down here please, we just have to have a quick checkup on her to make sure she's alright."

Selior narrowed his eyes on the woman. My, she was quite cheeky, wasen't she? Telling him what was what and so forth. Yeah, well, they all had another thing coming...
Despite whatever paranoia, suspicion and indignaty was running through the man, he followed suit when Felicis entered the trap door she had been directed to.
"I'm Felicis. 'Means I'm lucky. Not that you can tell from lookin' at my 'daddy.'" She said with a snort, waving her hand at Selior to hurry him up. "S'okay, he likes me atleast a little. Even if I do win all his stuff.. he's not very good at playing games at all.. Hey, miss, you wanna play a game?" The little one asked, a streak of hopefull glee running through her eyes at the thought. She had been turned down enough in the past little while so she didn't get her hopes up too high.
Besides there was this matter of 'checking up,' and for the life of her, she didn't know what that ment. She felt fine if that was any difference. Better than fine, actually... Selior had a knack for bribing kids with sweets when he didn't want to awnser their questions anymore, so she was quiiiiite full with chocolate-peanut butter icecream.

"Felicis? What a pretty name. And I believe you are right -it does mean you're lucky." Gina gave the girl a warmhearted wink, "But I'm afraid i can't play a game with you. Maybe another day."
The man seemed like he was going to behave himself now. He had followed her down, and wasn't insisting on leaving Felicis with them. She had a feeling she wouldn't have as much trouble convincing him to keep Felicis as she had initially thought. She also had the vaguest feeling that she would deal more with Felicis on these matters than him.
Realizing she hadn't properly introduced herself to him, she asked politely, "What's your name, sir? I imagine we'll have further dealings, so it would be useful to know."
Gina assumed he had heard her name when she introduced herself to Felicis, and did not bother to restate it. Instead, she walked off the bottom of the stairs and into a large white room, full of what looked like very expensive decorations.
"This is Imperium," she announced, "And if you'd hold on a moment Dr. Bellaro will see Felicis in a moment."
With that, the dark haired woman clad all in white took out a key and unlocked a white door to the new comers' left, then slipped through, locking it behind her.

"No, you won't likely have any 'further dealings' with me, so it doesn't matter, does it?" Selior snapped, his arms folded in a grumpy way. "I'm just making sure you aren't about to torture the brat, then I'm outta here."
Felicis had smiled. "Isn't that nice? He cares! His name is Selior and.. Dr..? What's that? I don't know.." Felicis looked somewhat uneasy as the woman dissapeared. She looked back at Selior who smiled somewhat sadistically.
"He'll prolly give you shots. Shots hurt." He informed her.
Felicis stared at Selior for a bit before staring back at the locked door. "Well, she seemed nice, I don't think so." Felicis decided outloud. After a moment she began casing the place they were in for anything valuble.. seemed pretty boring to her, so far.

There was a distinct click from the door after a few moments, and a short, stout man emerged from the door this time. Gina appeared to be still behind the door.
"Ah, so this is Felicis. I'm Dr. Bellaro, and there's nothing to worry about. We just want to do a quick check up." He assured Selior, then turned his attention to Felicis. Just like if she had gone to any other doctor, he proceeded to check her eyes, ears, nose, and lymph nodes. Each time, he would jot something doqwn on the clipboard he was carrying.
He continued; recording her blood pressure, taking her pulse, examining her skin. He finished by quickly pulling a few strands of hair out.
"Sorry if that hurt, but it tends to hurt less if you're not expecting it," Then he finally turned his attention to Selior once more, "Felicis is perfectly healthy. Whenever something changes with her, make sure to bring her back here. You can go home, though you are welcome here any time. Just make sure to speak to Gina at the front desk."
And with that, he promptly left the room, back through the door in which he entered from before Selior had the chance to protest once more.
