[Nike has a lot of opinions whenever it came to Qri and Gennette, but she does trust Gennette's word on protecting the orphan Palai children that were left behind by their adopted parents. But that is another story for another time.
Right now, she was considering Haru's explanation.]
That's true. It must be weird to see talking lizards that walk on two legs and regard another species as parents. I'm surprised no one has been curious enough to ask for an explanation. I rather they ask me about it than treat my daughter like a pet or make underhanded remarks, thinking we wouldn't be able to hear.
[As the doors to the elevator open, Airis will be the very first one out, by running around all excitedly, searching for Haru and Koi. Nike will notice and try to keep her Palai child from running too far out of her sight.]
Hey, Haru. Are you guys here already? I have one overly ecstatic lizard that wants to see her auntie and friend right now.
No, we are definitely their mothers! Different species aside, we are their family, and became their family ever since we were handed their eggs and made the choice to raise them.
[Well, to be fair, Airis at a young age made the choice to remain with Nike because at one point she was going to leave Airis with another family to look after her in the world her parents had died in.
Good thing the small Palai was stubborn.
It didn't take very long for Airis to notice Haru and will begin to pull Nike's sundress, to point the other woman out, before heading on over to them once Nike gave her permission to. The lizard child will reach her aunt and Koi in record time for a hug while Nike returns Haru's wave while heading on over.]
It's so good to see you both! You bested us to the punch on getting here. We didn't keep you waiting too long, right?
Of course not. We were just early because Koi-chan was so excited to take part in a cultural tradition.
[Because Haru has made sure to teach her all about those things. Haru was very good to Koi, and Koi was good to her. Who knew that being the mother of another speciies could be so rewarding?
She stoops down to hug Airis tight, and then lets her go to Koi.]
They're really excited, aren't they? Did you tell Airis-chan about this tradition?

Nike-chan, Airis-chan! We're down here.

Date: 2018-02-27 05:15 am (UTC)I can imagine! With Airis being the same way about it. Must be a natural curious instinct to learn, huh?
[That's what Nike likes to think as she watches the children talk about their time in the city so far and other topics of discussion.
It was just enough of a pause for Nike to think of a response.]
I only told her the gist I was able to understand. It has something to do with writing wishes on talismans and placing it on the tree, right?

Date: 2018-02-28 04:13 am (UTC)[Haru nods.]
I suppose the other part of it would be to tell them they should try and help to grant some of the wishes.
