She smiled brightly as the other began signing, responding in the same manner,

Sure

Colin went to the wall and pulled on a cord. Then he came back to put the game away. Alora turned to face the doorway, her little eyes gleaming. A minute later, Jazz could here the sounds of several children talking rapidly to each other, though she couldn't pick out the language they were speaking.

She stood behind Alora, a curious look in her bright eyes.

Nine children of various ages, races, and genders came into the room, then stopped when they saw an adult in their midst. But while they looked suspicious, they didn't make a sound.

"Guys, this is Jazz. She's mute, and she's going to be staying with us for a while."

She smiled shyly to the new children, crouching back down to their height and giving a cute little wave.

The children nodded.

"We protect her? Like we do each other?"

Elder Posts : 990 Join date : 2011-11-08

She tilted her head some, signing to Alora,

How do you protect each other? What do you have to protect each other from?

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

Alora smiled.

"We protect each other easy enough. And it's from the world. They would take us away from each other."

A sad look came over her delicate, pretty features.

Why?

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

She looked sad.

"Because we are different."

Elder Posts : 990 Join date : 2011-11-08

Because you're special? Why would you protect me? I'm not nearly as special as all of you.

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

She chuckled.

"But you're willing to play with us."

Elder Posts : 990 Join date : 2011-11-08

She tilted her head, a genuinely confused look over her features.

Do others not want to play with you?

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

Colin smiled.

"Not many think us good companions."

Elder Posts : 990 Join date : 2011-11-08

I think you're perfectly charming,

She signed, smiling in her sweet, shy way to each of the children.

After you are done here, do you think I could go home to my family? Perhaps every time you visit we can spend a good chunk of time playing.

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

They beamed.

"If you wish to, perhaps. Or you could stay with us and be our family."

Elder Posts : 990 Join date : 2011-11-08

She beamed right back, shyly ducking her head down.

I'm honored you'd have me be in your family, but I would miss my own... Maybe joint custody, hmm? You guys get me weekends?

She found it hard to believe she was negotiating with satyrs, and other creatures, for her possible custody between here and reality... certainly just something else in the norm Cynthia had never mentioned.

Again the giggles, but with more bells, and a lighter tone.

"We can talk details later."

Elder Posts : 990 Join date : 2011-11-08

Deal. What do you guys want to do now?

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

They smiled.

"What do you want to do?"

Elder Posts : 990 Join date : 2011-11-08

A casual shrug,

I dunno.. we could play another board game? Or we could do something else?

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

One of the kid's belly's growled. Loudly.

"Dinner!"

Elder Posts : 990 Join date : 2011-11-08

She smiled sweetly, "Want me to make you dinner..?"

The entire group laughed. Then the two Satyr's disappeared.
