Nexus. The Blanket Factory and Aoife's Brownstone. Healing and Helping

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

woman: *looking around again, slept a lot, but still feels like she couldn't get up even if she weren't all wrapped up in this stuff. Sort of wonders where the big one with no horn has gone. Also wonders when it's feeding time. And why she doesn't really want her food, but it feels like the aches in her head and limbs has somehow gotten into her stomach and turned it upside down*

Kimahri: *just starting to wake up, will stretch and move to sit up*

woman: *big eyes get bigger as they turn toward his face, and then they're crinkling just slightly at the corners as she greets him with her quiet little purrling sound*

Kimahri: *soft rumble of greeting, will gently unwrap the woman so he can check how her injuries are healing*

woman: *blinks, her chin quivering slightly as all the aching gets worse. Feels cold and shivers*

Kimahri: *will gently hold her close to his chest while he checks her tail*

woman: *rests her face against him, breathing in his smell. Doesn't react to her tail being touched, and the tail itself is lacking body heat*

Kimahri: *slight frown as he notices that the woman's tail is cold, as well as her lack of reaction. Will gently re-wrap her in blankets and move to lift her up. Intends to bring her to Aoife, since the Guardian is more knowledgeable on healing than he is*

woman: *looks at his face, and then is distracted by interesting things overhead*

Kimahri: *moves to bring the woman out of the yurt, pausing when Lumen brings over a couple of fruit bowls*

woman: *eyes even bigger now as she gets her first glimpse of that... really high up ceiling? With things up there! What... What? Scared and closes eyes*

Kimahri: *will carefully sit by the door of the yurt, and try and offer some nice, fresh fruit to the woman*

woman: *muzzle twitches, and then she's peeking at this odd but interesting smell*

fruit bowl: *fresh and at the perfect ripeness to be sweet without being too sweet, seems to be a mix of different types of fruits, including grapes, a couple different types of melons, and pineapple*

woman: *muzzle quivers at the scent as she studies all this unfamiliar stuff with faintly amazed curiosity*

Kimahri: *will gently offer a piece of orange melon*

woman: *loooooooks at it*

Lumen: *will sit nearby and eat from the fruit bowl he got for himself* *nom nom nom*

Kimahri: *slight puzzlement, will gently put the melon piece to the woman's mouth*

woman: *little startle, but then looks up at him, question in her eyes as she tries to understand what he's doing*

Kimahri: *will reach for a piece of melon from his own bowl of fruit so he can show the woman what to do with the offered food*

woman: *and you thought her eyes were big before, Kimahri?* *makes a soft little pleading whimper. It's time to eat, and she's supposed to. And now she knows where the food is, but her arms are inside the wrappings, and one really hurts*

Kimahri: *will gently poke another piece of melon at the woman's mouth*

woman: *tries to slurp it and blinks, but then remembers what she saw him do and tries chewing. Shrill little squeal follows as she bites the inside of her cheek* 0_0

Kimahri: *will gently check to see how bad the bitten cheek is*

cheek: *not too bad, she didn't break the skin. But then those little teeth aren't sharp in the least* *...tastes his finger*

Kimahri: *soft chuckle at the finger tasting*

woman: *looks up at him again, wondering about that funny sound*

Kimahri: *gentle amusement on his face*

Lumen: *headtilting as he watches the pair, half-wondering if he should've opted for smoothies instead of solid pieces of fruit*

woman: *o.O as a funny sound comes from inside her somewhere*

Kimahri: *will offer a different piece of fruit. One that's a bit softer and easier to eat... aka a piece of banana*

woman: *eats very carefully, intent on feeding her belly even though she's utterly amazed that this piece of food doesn't taste like the other one!*

Kimahri: *will also eat more fruit, in between feeding the woman*

woman: *eats about five pieces of fruit, and then she's looking very alarmed. The big one is offering more food, but her body is warning her that she needs the little room! ...Wherever it is*

Kimahri: *very slight headtilt, before he's realizing what's wrong. Will borrow Lumen's PINpoint and bring the woman to the inside of the factory, right outside the lady's room*

woman: *very nearly peed in her wrappings! 0_0!!;;*

Kimahri: *will gently carry the woman into the restroom*

Aerith: *pauses in drying her hands as she sees Kimahri and the woman he's carrying in his arms* Oh dear....

Kimahri: *ears up, will try and explain the situation to Aerith, who nods her understanding and moves to help the injured woman use the facilities*

woman: *afraid of this strange looking being, but as usual doesn't show her fear except by shaking. Blinks and looks quizzically up at the strange big one as she's sat down on the funny cold thing*

Aerith: *gentle, soothing words and reassurances. Will help the injured woman use the restroom*

woman: *distracted by the sounds and body language, loses track of what her body is saying. Business accomplished. Also checking to see if she's in trouble*

Kimahri: *curiously inspecting the soap dispenser, is mainly seeing if the soap used in it is the same as the one in the men's room. Cue a sneezing fit*

Aerith: *will help get the woman cleaned up, and try not to laugh at Kimahri*

woman: *looking toward the sneezing. Has relaxed. This big one is acting like her mother did when she was small. She doesn't understand why, but she thinks she understands what she's supposed to do. Those sounds, however... Watches closely and with interest*

Kimahri: *kerchoo! Kerchoo! Kerchoo!*

woman: *O.O o.O O.o Small trill of laughter that leaves her wide-eyed and looking for the strange sound*

Kimahri: *one last massive sneeze that results in a bit of a furpoof*

Aerith: *trying so hard not to laugh at the silly*

woman: *startles at that bigger sound, and hides her face against the big one that's holding her's strange smooth side*

Kimahri: *gives himself a bit of a shake and gets his fur settled. Then he's moving to gently lift the woman again. Intends to make sure she gets enough to eat before he brings her to see Aoife*

woman: *quiet sigh as she feels those big arms cradle her, and then her eyes slip shut as her breathing evens out. All that moving around and seeing new things, coupled with the sugar rush from the fruit, has ganged up on her*

Kimahri: *will PINpoint back up to the roof with the woman, and make sure she's wrapped in plenty of blankets* *will also gently fuss over her*

woman: *wrinkles muzzle unhappily at the feel of the PINpoint trip, but doesn't wake. Instead snuggles close with a sigh*

Kimahri: *will give Lumen his PINpoint back, and carefully carry the woman down the inside stairs since PINpointing seems to disturb her and he'd need both hands for the ladder. Sure, the trip will take longer, but that's preferable to upsetting her while she's hurt*

woman: *deep sleep, feels safe and warm despite the pain from her injuries*

dJazz: *pauses in the middle of hurling an insult at Jetfire as he sees the big blue being walk past* Hey, Kimahri? You deliverin' somethin'?

Kimahri: *headshake*

Jetfire: *slight frown as he studies the bundle* Some kind 'f organic.... Strange-aft delivery....

Kimahri: *ignores Jetfire*

dJazz: *scan* *sudden frown of concern* The lil' lady damaged?

Kimahri: *small nod* Crashed.

dJazz: *frown deepens* ...What is she?

Kimahri: *headshake. He has no idea*

dJazz: *surprised* Yeah, I dunno either, 'n I know every race that lives in the Milky Way. *hunkers down for a closer look*

Kimahri: *prepare to be surprised, dJazz, 'cause here comes a full sentence!* Going to see Aoife.

dJazz: *blink blinks and studies Kimahri's face for traces of hot air. Brow ridges lift when he sees that that did come from the taciturn Ronso* Sure you don't want Scattor instead? Aoife ain't much good for repair, I hear. Jets, you try that 'n you're gonna have vents where you never wanted 'em.

Kimahri: *slight headtilt* Scattor?

Jetfire: *pretending he has no idea what dJazz was talking about* Big, slaggin' ugly, blue bein'. Normally 'bout my size...

dJazz: Aoife's brother. Lady B don't like 'im much. *grin*

Kimahri: ... *considering look*

Jetfire: *baps dJazz on top of his head*

dJazz: *grin doesn't fade one bit* 'Scuse me, man, I gotta go open up a can 'a whupaft.

Jetfire: *cackles and takes off*

Kimahri: *headshake as he walks on, deciding to ask if anyone at the Brownstone knows where to find Scattor*

Legacy: *slight start when she comes face to blanket bundle, blink blinks and backs up several steps*

Lola: *whickermew! Can see you, Kimahri!*

Damsun: *picture of a surprised smiley imposed over the image of Legacy opening the door and finding Kimahri*

Kimahri: *brief nod for Legacy, Lola, and Damsun* Find Scattor?

Damsun: *image of a big, homely guy with blue hair going upstairs to see Aoife and then a small blue bunny bouncing down the stairs and leaving*

Kimahri: *small nod, will turn to go. Intends to try and find Scattor*

Aoife: -Kimahri? Is that you?-

Kimahri: *soft rumble as he turns towards where he hears Aoife's voice* Looking for Scattor.

Aoife: *more a feeling than a voice in his mind* -He left something for you. It's up here.

Deidre: *at that moment comes hurtling down the stairs and rolls up against the opposite wall* -Leggy! Deedee wants to go too! Has money for Mamatreats!-

Kimahri: *slight earflick as Legacy squeaks in startlement, will move to head for the stairs then*

Legacy: *startles even more as she picks up on Lynn's startlement as well*

Deidre: *sits up and gives Kimahri a slurp in passing, and then becomes so concerned as she senses the woman in his arms that it looks like she's ready to follow the ronso up the stairs and be her usual pushy kind of worried about the hurt person*

Lola: *bounces over to give Deidre kissies!*

Legacy: *moves to peek through Lynn's door and gently reassure the older woman that everything's okay* *will also call to Lola and Deidre*

Deidre: -Hurt person, Sissy. Deedee needs to help!- *trips over Lola with a front leg and chinplants on the hall rug*

Legacy: *soft cough, is starting to snicker*

Lola: *SCOOT! Hides behind Mama!*

Deidre: *forgets about the hurt lady that was carried up the stairs* -Baby sissy no hide, Deedee sorry!- *and gonna cry as she tippytoes over to sniff at the smaller kit*

Lola: *peeeeks and kissies*

Damsun: *shows an image of the Black Dog*

Legacy: *small nod, will move to gently herd Deidre and Lola towards the door*


Way up at the top of the house, in the tower overlooking the unicorn meadow


Aoife: *quietly turns her head where she's laying tucked in her sleeping bag on the floor near the far wall of her tiny room, quirks a brow at Kimahri as he comes in. Her eyes are completely grey with weariness*

Kimahri: *soft rumble of concern for Aoife*

Aoife: *slight smile that holds a trace of her usual wry humor* -...Be alright soon. How's... she?

Kimahri: Ate breakfast.... Sleeping now.

Aoife: *bit of a grin, and then glances toward the little jar that's sitting on the floor beside her. Contained in the glass container are three tiny points of cobalt blue light*

Kimahri: *slight headtilt*

Aoife: *faint wash of amusement and that her brother is a dork* -Three wishes.-

Kimahri: *very soft snort of amusement*

Aoife: *so much thinks that brother is a dork*

Kimahri: *would be inclined to agree with you about Scattor being a dork if he had met the being in question at some point, likely*

Aoife: *feeling that Kimahri should use his wishes as her eyes slip shut. Also shares an image of the older Violet taking the little Violet away with her*

Kimahri: *will carefully tuck the jar of wishes in with the woman for now, and quietly take his leave*

Liedherz: *looks up from the doorway to the garage as the ronso steps out of the Brownstone. Earflick and snort*

Kimahri: *brief nod to Liedherz, will head back along the road that leads to the factory*

assorted Nexusites: *wave to the big being as he walks along, knowing that he's not likely to stop and talk*

Kimahri: *will nod briefly as he passes by, and soon he's bringing the woman back up to the yurt via the stairwell in the factory*

Mabyn: *looks around as he arrives on the roof, then nods to him. Eyes are dark today, and wary*

Kimahri: *nod* *quiet* Visited Aoife.

Mabyn: *gaze sharpens as a slight breeze blows the wisps of hair escaped from her ponytail across her face* How'd ye find her?

Kimahri: Resting. Recovering.

Mabyn: *nods* Didn't know she was that weak. Just went by habit for our Guardian. *lips thin after she finishes speaking. Isn't too happy with herself*

Kimahri: She snarked. *isn't blaming you at all, Mabyn. He didn't know either*

Mabyn: *lifts brows, her expression lightening* Did she? Huh. *frowns then* Nobody Holds this place.

Kimahri: *slight frown as he considers this*

Mabyn: But then there are a lot of places now that aren't held by any soul. *shakes head* I'll just need to keep that in mind.

Kimahri: *soft humming sound, before he's returning his attention to getting the woman inside and comfortable*

Mabyn: *calls after him* Aerith left some things in there.

Kimahri: *small nod as he sees the soft clothing and underthings*

Mabyn: *vanishes to go sit in her woolly butterfly chair and do more work on that wedding dress she's making* *as always, she doesn't say farewell*

Kimahri: *will make sure the woman is comfortable in the blanket nest in the yurt before he's contemplating the three wishes in the jar*

woman: *slight blinking as those big eyes peep open the moment she's set down. Turns head till she sees him, and then falls into a contemplation of the things stored in the roof braces*

Kimahri: *soft rumble, will check to see if Aerith is nearby*

woman: *slight alarm as she sees him walking toward the door, sits up with a little cry*

Kimahri: *well, darn.... Will move to sit back down and think about how to get a healer's help*

woman: *actually crawls out of her blankets and into his lap, then snuggles as she shivers. Big eyes are sad*

Kimahri: *soft rumble as he grabs one of the blankets and wraps the woman in it*

woman: *hides her face on him, the slender fingers of her good hand curling against his side as they seek something to grip. Tiny wiffling sound*

Kimahri: *careful, gentle backrub*

woman: *tiny sigh*

Mabyn: *is that voice in Kimahri's head. A bit sharply* -What's wrong?-

Kimahri: *soft rumble, will think about the jar of wishes*

Mabyn: -What's wrong with 'em?-

Kimahri: *quiet for a few moments* -Need help using them.-

Mabyn: -Ah... I kin see Aerith in yer mind. Ye want her?-

Kimahri: *affirmative nod*

Mabyn: -Give me a bit 'n I'll fetch her.-

Kimahri: *another nod* -Thank you.- *wow, an actual complete sentence!*

Mabyn: *hesitates, then cautiously* -There's a wish I wish you'd make.-

Kimahri: *curiosity*

Mabyn: -I'm a Hunter, not a Guardian. And I'm used to belonging to and answering to a Guardian. Will you wish us a Guardian?-

Kimahri: *thinks about what sort of Guardian would be best-suited for the factory, wishes*

Mabyn: *jag of startlement will be felt clearly by anyone in the vicinity*

woman: *whimper and hides!*

Kimahri: *frown, moves to carefully get up and hold the woman close*

Mabyn: -A bloody Mooncat!?- *anger and amusement*

Kimahri: ... -Mooncat?-

???: -Good kitty.-

Mabyn: -Not when ye nibble my toes!-

Kimahri: *so confused now*

Mabyn: -The Guardian's come. It's a Mooncat.-

Kimahri: *soft rumble*

Mabyn: -I'll go fetch the lady now.-

Kimahri: *will bring the woman out of the yurt, wants to see the Guardian for himself*

silver mackerel tabby: *big and floofy, and just appeared there to one side of you, Kimahri. Looks up at the ronso with bright eyed interest. There is something preternatural about that alert gaze*

Kimahri: *surprised expression is a go*

mooncat: -Good kitty. Came to help.-

Kimahri: *will nod his understanding and look to the woman in his arms*

mooncat: *pads over and puts a front paw on Kimahri's leg to help himself see up there* *sad* -Kitty can't fix.-

Kimahri: *small nod, soft rumble*

mooncat: *looks over his shoulder* -Lady coming.- *looks up again* -...Butt.-

Kimahri: *soft snort*

mooncat: *furpoof and bounces away*

woman: *watching that. Makes her little trill of laughter*

mooncat: *gonna bounce more, then!*

Aerith: *pauses as she sees this, and then her hand is going to her mouth as she tries not to laugh*

mooncat: *pooftail! Boing!*

woman: *another soft little trill as she watches*

Kimahri: *looks to Aerith, a bit of a question on his face*

Aerith: *will approach and try to find out what's going on*

mooncat: *sits down and curls that big fluffy tail around his feet* -Big kitty needs helps.-

woman: *has noticed Aerith and is shyly happy to see her*

Aerith: *will quietly talk to Kimahri, or try, and find out what's going on. She'll then duck into the yurt and bring out the jar of wishes*

mooncat: *now sitting on Kimahri's foot. And purring mighty thunder*

Aerith: *will carefully get one of the three wishes (yes, they're all still there) out of the jar* I wish for the woman who arrived last night to have her injuries healed entirely.

woman: *startled little sound as she's enveloped in cobalt sparkles*

Kimahri: *soft, concerned rumble*

woman: *tries to hide, but then realizes that the strange lights aren't hurting her. They're being nice... And then the healing happens as she relaxes and trusts*

sparkles: *die away*

Kimahri: *will gently check the woman over*

woman: *trying to scratch an itchy arm through the cast*

Kimahri: *will gently check the woman's other injuries as well, rumbling softly*

woman: *fully healed. And trying to scratch her casted leg, too*

Kimahri: *questioning glance to Aerith*

Aerith: I'll see if I can find someone to help with that....

mooncat: -Big cutter?-

Aerith: That would work....

mooncat: -Why fuzzy lady wearing sky?-

woman: *has wriggled out of her blanket in her efforts to relieve the discomfort of her limbs*

Aerith: Oh, dear... *will move to get one of the simple dresses out of the pile of clothes, as well as some underthings*

Kimahri: *will move to pull the blanket up around her again*

mooncat: *bounces after Aerith, and soon comes back with head held high as he drags something between his legs*

Aerith: *moves to help the woman get dressed, snagging the undershirt from the mooncat in the process*

woman: *startled and uncertain, tries to wriggle away, but then stops and looks at the mother-like person with puzzled eyes. What is she wrapping her in now?*

Aerith: *soothing sounds*

mooncat: -Fuzzy lady not wear stuffs before.- *sits up, his ears flattening slightly* -Fuzzy lady not know her lady?-

Aerith: *quietly* It seems like that's the case...

Kimahri: *frowwwwning muchly*

mooncat: *softly* -Bad bad. Kitty thinks more than fuzzy lady.-

Kimahri: *quiet rumble of displeasure*

woman: *goes very still and turns those wide eyes up toward his face, doesn't even blink as Aerith passes the dress over her head*

mooncat: *tip of tail twitches* -Kitty sad.-

Aerith: *soothing sounds as she finishes dressing the woman* *quietly* We should give her a name if she doesn't have one.....

mooncat: *looks up and then softly starts counting the buttons on the back of the woman's dress*

Kimahri: *will examine the woman's casts for a few moments, and then he's trying to claw a line into either side of the arm cast. He'll try to carefully break the cast off after that*

mooncat: *as he watches the woman watch Kimahri's successful attempts at cast removal* -Fuzzy lady gets name?-

Aerith: *nods, is considering a name* What about Jenny?

Kimahri: *puzzled look for Aerith* *wondering what the name means*

mooncat: -Big kitty wants to know what name means.-

Aerith: *gently* Jenny is short for Jennifer, which means 'white'.... It could be seen as meaning 'pure' or 'blank'.... like a blank slate...

Kimahri: *small nod, quiet rumble*

mooncat: -Name is like fuzzy lady.- *chews on the end of his tail for a moment, then looks up with a plaintive little mew* -Kitty can has name too?-

Kimahri: *thinking long and hard about this before he speaks* Vneaht. Al Bhed for 'Friend'.

mooncat: *looks up* -Funeayah-ha-te?-

Aerith: *blink blink at the strange-sounding word*

Vneaht: *tail twitch, and then goes after it!*

Kimahri: *soft rumble*

Jenny: *is examining her dress with curious fingers, but the curiosity is only faint and nothing like what most people would be expressing. The young woman is only checking the texture, and making no exploration of hemlines, seams, or the possibility of dress removal*

Aerith: *will crouch down to pet Vneaht's ears*

Vneaht: *massive purring as he butts against her hand* *on touching him Aerith will be able to tell that this big animal is not a full grown cat*

Aerith: *surprised by this, but continues with the pettings*

Jenny: *now sitting quietly in Kimahri's arms and doing absolutely nothing*

Vneaht: *notices this and looks up quizzically, his tail giving a slow twitch*

Kimahri: *will work on getting the cast off of Jenny's leg now*

Jenny: *watches him*

Vneaht: *tail poof and ear flatten* -Vneaht-kitty wanna bite bads who do that.-

Kimahri: *small headshake as he works* *dwelling on it will not fix things*

Vneaht: *bad kitty chuckle* -Vneaht-kitty can has chomp. No worries.- *gonna pat pat at Aerith's face now. And purr*

Aerith: *chuckles and looks to Kimahri and Jenny*

Jenny: *is now scratching her leg! Relief on her face. It looks like the limb wasn't quite cleaned before it was wrapped*

Kimahri: *soft rumble of concern, wonders to himself how he missed that*

Aerith: Maybe you should set her on her feet....

Vneaht: -Yes. Feets.- *licks one of his*

Kimahri: *moves to gently set Jenny on her feet, will keep watch over her though*

Jenny: *straightens up and stands gracefully on those little cloven feet, her head tilting back as she looks up at the big one. Then the smaller rumbly one bumps against her and she's looking down at him to see what he wants. This close to Aerith, the taller woman will be able to see that Jenny's newly-restored horn is blunt, and covered with finely furred skin*

Vneaht: -Bleh, stinky leg.- *sniff sniff sniff*

Jenny: *pushes him away gently, and then scratches the leg some more*

Kimahri: *will go get the wash basin and a washcloth*

Jenny: *sitting on her butt and looking surprised when he gets back, is being held down by a big fluffy kitty*

Vneaht: *nose wrinkled as he tries to wash the leg*

Kimahri: *will get everything set up and start gently washing Jenny's leg*

Vneaht: *tries to wash his tongue. See a kitty blow bubbles, Aerith?*

Aerith: *too amused at kitty antics*

Jenny: *cringes a little bit, but then settles and is quiet and still about the washing* *is now watching the small rumbler with his head stuck in the basin past the ears*

Vneaht: *comes up for air, and then ducks his head again... only to sneeze*

Kimahri: *snort*

Jenny: o.O?

Vneaht: *pawing at nose and fussing*

Aerith: *moves to gently check Vneaht's nose*

Vneaht: *shows her how his nose feels. The burning sensation is faint, though. The young mooncat knows how to properly speak*

Aerith: *puzzling over what could have caused the sneezing*

Mabyn: -Probably got a bit of water in there.-

Aerith: Ah.... *will give cuddles to the young mooncat*

Mabyn: -How's the lady? I can't hear her.-

Aerith: She's fully healed, Mabyn....

Mabyn: -...But she feels less like a person than I do, who haven't ever been one.-

Aerith: *quietly and sadly* She might not know what it means to be a person....

Mabyn: -I can't hear any thoughts from her at all.-

Jenny: *gives a little laugh then, because the small rumbler has sneezed again*

Aerith: *quietly, as Kimahri rumbles softly nearby* I almost wonder if her people never knew.....

Mabyn: -You'd have to ask one of the stronger Guardians, or Charlie.-

Aerith: *small nod* I'll do that....

Mabyn: -I hear Charlie's human, and that he's got Guardians who aren't Fae. But he's supposed to know things.-

Aerith: *another nod* *to Vneaht* Do you know Charlie?

Vneaht: *looks up from making cute at Jenny* Mmmyyyup!

Aerith: *blink blink* Would he be able to help us shed some light on Jenny's past?

Vneaht: -Maybe. Maybe purple lady do.-

Aerith: *very slight frown as she thinks about this*

Vneaht: *washes her hand for her*

Jenny: *is now standing absently by the big one with a horn and looking around with the same interest that she gives to the things in the rafters of the yurt*

Kimahri: *will go to empty the wash basin, after checking that there are no pedestrians walking by the outer wall of the factory*

Jenny: *tags after him, the action seeming automatic*

Vneaht: *looks up at Aerith* -Vneaht kitty get?-

Aerith: *small nod, is already trying to think of what Jenny might want or need in the coming months, though she's not too sure about any of the items on her short list*

Vneaht: *vanishes. Just gone... though his kitty grin stays last*

Jenny: *meanwhile nearly walks right over the edge of the roof*

Kimahri: *quick to keep her from walking over the edge of the roof, will pull her in close to him*

Jenny: *quizzical look up at him, but then snuggles*

Kimahri: *will move to bring the wash basin back into the yurt, which is made slightly more difficult by the fact that he's also holding onto Jenny*

Jenny: *a Jenny who hangs limp in his grasp like a rag doll*

Kimahri: *everything in its place, will bring Jenny back out to sit with Aerith*

Jenny: *will reach to touch the mother-person and smile at her*

Aerith: *gentle smile for Jenny, will patpat her hand*

Jenny: *is happy, and is now staring intently at the whales*

Kimahri: *will sit nearby and quietly rumble what almost sounds like a song*

Vneaht: *appears and bounces across the roof, his bushy tail at full poof*

Kimahri: *glances to the young mooncat*

bViolet: *from behind him* Well now, I see she's lookin' less like death fresh outta the fridge.

Jenny: *turns and looks at the stranger*

Kimahri: *very slight frown*

Aerith: Hello, Violet. *small smile*

bViolet: *pushes her bangs to the side and grins back, then turns her head to look at Vneaht as the young mooncat shadowboxes at nothing, her long ponytail swinging with the movement* 'Ey, genius...

Kimahri: *relaxing slightly, will look to Vneaht*

bViolet: *steps over the hyper youngster and settles on the roof next to Aerith* Brain trust sez ye got some questions.

Aerith: *nods* About Jenny's past....

bViolet: Ye ain't gonna like it, savvy?

Aerith: *quietly* I understand.

Kimahri: *small nod*

Jenny: *sighs and flops over, then curls up with Kimahri's leg for a pillow. Is now staring at Vneaht*

Kimahri: *will gently rub her back without taking his eyes off of Violet*

bViolet: *looks past Aerith at the tiny purple woman* She's th' equivalent 'o an eighteen year old. Jes' old enough t' harvest, by 'er former masters' reckonin'.

Aerith: *looking just a bit pale now*

Kimahri: *eyes narrow ever so slightly*

bViolet: Though with how tall 'n fine she is, 'n the size 'o that horn, they'd 'a probably had her wean a couple brats first.

Aerith: .... *small nod, understands all too well*

bViolet: 'Er folk've ben domesticated fer hundreds 'o years. Bred fer docility, health, 'n big horns. 'N now they're gone.

Aerith: *quietly* I know what that's like.....

bViolet: *surprisingly gentle* Aye, but ye kin find some poor sap 'n have half bred babies, at least.

Aerith: *quietly* In my reality of origin, the Cetra are dead.

bViolet: *nods* I know. 'N I know what it's like t' be left behind. *looks down at Jenny again, who is now peacefully staring at seeming nothing*

Kimahri: *frown* Many Guardians....

bViolet: *violet eyes flick up to his face* Many Changelings. I'm half breed. Me ma crossed the Sea as soon as I didn' need milk no more. I don't recall 'er.

Kimahri: *very slight frown*

bViolet: *shrugs* I had the Black Pearl t' mother me. *bit of a grin as Jenny wriggles and winds up with her underpants showing*

Aerith: *reaching to gently touch Jenny's hand*

Jenny: *looks up, and then wriggles a bit more so that she can stare at the mother-person*

bViolet: Anymore questions?

Aerith: *headshake*

Kimahri: *considering* Way to help learn? *meaning, is there a way to help Jenny learn how to be a person?*

bViolet: *looks down at the tiny woman again, her violet brows drawing together in a frown of concentration* I ain't seein' nothin' yet. But Charlie's lookin' too. 'N so're my buddies Atin 'n Vanya.

Kimahri: *small nod of understanding*

Vneaht: *ATTACK A RONSO TAIL. CHOMP!*

Kimahri: *startles and growls*

bViolet: *cracks up* I wondered how long he was gonna resist that puff twitchin' around.

Jenny: *scared by growl. Shaking*

Kimahri: *rumbles and gives Vneaht a Look before moving to gently rub Jenny's back*

Vneaht: *ears sideways* o.o???

bViolet: *still snickering*

Kimahri: *will rumble softly and continue to gently rub Jenny's back*

bViolet: *looks up again* Ye ain't gettin' rid 'o 'er now. She figures yer somehow one 'o her own kind.

Kimahri: *no response to that other than the distinctive feeling of him feeling protective of Jenny*

bViolet: *slight smile, thinks to herself that that little woman was spared so that this big man will have someone to guard and protect for the rest of his life*

Aerith: *doesn't know that she's thinking something similar to Violet, just knows that Kimahri is a lot less tense, even with the fact that Vneaht bit his tail*

Vneaht: *is now laying on his back, hugging that tail, and licking the tassel all pretty and straight!*

Jenny: *wriggles a bit more, and then looks up at Kimahri with her little prrling sound*

bViolet: *perks* Well, would ye listen ta that...

Aerith: Hm?

bViolet: That sound's how those folk smile.

Aerith: Oh... *soft chuckle* Well... She's got someone to watch out for her, and she's got a nice, warm place to sleep.....

bViolet: *bit of a grin* Not that she knows anythin' about any 'o that. She jes' likes the big furball.

Aerith: *more chuckle* *quietly* And Kimahri is fond of her.....

bViolet: *grins grows slightly* S'there anythin' else?

Aerith: *as Kimahri shakes his head* I don't think so.....

bViolet: *nods and rises to her feet* I'll be goin', then.

Aerith: Thank you for answering our questions, Violet.

bViolet: Jes' doin' me job. God bless. *gone*

Aerith: *soft chuckle, will turn her attention to watching Kimahri and Jenny*

Jenny: *has her face hidden against Kimahri's leg now, and the movement of her thin shoulders is slowing toward sleep as she curls up comfortably*

Kimahri: *will keep watch over everyone. Is content*

Vneaht: *comes slinking over and crawls into Kimahri's lap next to Jenny's head. Flops and purrs with intention of sleep. Is also kneading with his paws*

Aerith: *more chuckle as she moves to get up and dust her dress off. Tea might be nice to drink up here.... So she'll go and get some started at the brownstone she shares with Aeris, Yuffie, Sephy, Sephiroth, and Leon, and bring it up when it's ready. Today is a very nice day in the Nexus, so it's best spent in the company of friends*
