Nea said, perched atop Odion as they rustled through the underbrush of the forest. It was dusk, the best time to go flying: no one would see them, but the sun still offered a small bit of light while they were in the air. Nea had dropped her backpack when Odion did a particularly daring aerial maneuver. "Ah! It's right over..." She paused, looking first at her backpack, then upward, to see the residence it laid in front of. "What's that? Oddy, did you know this was here?" She asked, dismounting and carefully wandering forward. I thought there might be something of interest here, but technically speaking, no, I did not know that this specific thing would be here. We should investigate. He nudged her forward with his face. The trees above were cloaking them in near-blackness. Nea wasn't afraid of the dark, but she had a healthy respect for forces she hadn't yet harnessed. Slowly, Nea grabbed her backpack and made her way to the front of the building, Odion watching through the darkness for any trouble.

The food crisis had also been taken care of, they'd had some of the kids make a quick run to get a couple things. She got up, slapped her face to wake up and went to the door. Looking out the window she was a gangly little tree had finally grown a branch out far enough to scratch the window in the soft breeze. That had been the new rustling noise, but from the window she could see two figures coming onto the grounds. They hadn't disappeared yet, eaten by the manor, so they had to be welcome. Of course, that little figure that glided by the human figure seemed to explain that bit well enough. Her feet moved her over to the door which she pulled open. It seemed that she would be the welcoming party for these two. Her hair was a little ruffled but straightened itself out obediently as she plodded toward the two. At a closed glance one was a girl with a backpack and the other was a dragon looking thing. It startled her a little but she'd sen enough thing to quickly come back. She walked over with an extended hand. "Hello, Hello, Lassie. Welcome to Cathriss, this is going to be your new home from now on it seems. My name is Livia."

She won't hurt you. He replied reassuringly, though he didn't sound apologetic. "Hi..." She inched forward, proffering her own hand cautiously. Shaking the girl's hand, Nea relaxed a bit. "I'm Nea... Oh, and this is Odion." Normally, Nea would have been panicked, and inclined to hide her peculiar pet, but there was something different about this girl, just like with her grandmother. Odion was safe around them. "What did you say about this being our new home?" She asked quickly, looking around the manor curiously.

"This is Cathriss Gate, a home for the runaways, thieves, and kidnapped of Greave. Sounds pretty cheesy, no? Well we've food and the manor takes good care of all of us. Of course when i say your new home I don't mean an option. Unfortunately, if you look at it that way, you're stuck, there's no way you're getting out of here for good until you're old enough. But that's not much of a downfall." She never had a hint of unhappiness in her voice, or regret." "Now if you don't mind, you and Odion, " She eyed the creature a second time, now having a closer look, "I'm going to show you around, we'll find a place to put your things in a moment." She started walking toward the door of the house motioning the girl to follow her. "Now, aside from the dragon, what's your power? I expect that you've got something if Cathriss didn't "eat" you."
