*She wouldn't cry in front of Roku... But she would let it all out the next time she and Faedon were alone. With Roku safe in her arms, she was able to collect herself.* "Two... Centuries? You've had her for a long time before you met me Faedon. What were you doing in that time?-" *No. No. De escalate. She wouldn't cause a fight, she didn't want to fight... But that did make her upset.* "So... She'll be ok?" *She gently placed a hand over his and nuzzled into his touch.* "So... We should just be more careful?" *She looked down at Roku and gently moved her hair out of her face before looking at her leg. She would gently press and prod... Looking for damage and pain.* "No pain?....But does that mean she will not heal as fast?" *She worried as she always had, bit his kiss was filled with love... And she returned it just as passionately before nuzzling into them both. She blushed happily when he used the nickname he had given her. Such a good father he was.*

"I know you- I know you wanted to go to the library... And I promise you we will go I just- I just need to be sure you're safe.."*She remembered her parents wer very similar. She missed Moonlight Sonatas, gatherings, events due to their concern for her safety. She remembered how hurt she felt, and she didn't want Roku to see her as the bad guy but rather that she was doing this out of love. Something she never got reassured of growing up. Her parents word was law, and not to be questioned.* "I need to talk to Faedon about something... We'll be right outside ok?" *She kissed the top of her head before gently tugging Faedon's sleeve to follow.

She stepped outside into the brisk air and exhaled... Sitting down on the drivers bench.* "There is a school here... Faedon. I know she's going to see it I just... Don't know what to say if she wants to go. I don't think its a good idea.." *She wanted his opinion on it. She was homeschooled, and ao was her mother, and her mother... To expose Roku to a school with several other kids her age with

All sorts of abilities and powers... It just seemed dangerous. What if she ate her classmate? What if they outcasted and hurt her?*
Glenda
*Was confused as she said she had her for that long he was human when he met ai and his corruption only recently turned him to his true race. He remained quiet for a few moments before speaking.* `"My love I was 16-17 years old when I made the pact summons with Roku and my other summons. I only had her for a few years when I saved her from where I found her. I don't live and haven't lived as long as either of you."` *He says softly.* `"Yes she will be ok I used deductive reasoning to come to my conclusion that Roku didn't get the proper nutrients because only when she was with us did she learn how to talk or grow, when she was with me alone it was hard to get the little bat to open up you were the push she needed."` *He smiles praising ai telling her it was her doing that got Roku to this point.*

*He waited for ai to be done talking with Roku and felt his sleeve gently tugged and followed her outside gently closing the carriage door behind them going to sit on the driver's side bench with her he smiles as he looks at her* `"I heard of a magic school before, I say my love, we should at least go in person to check the magic school out first a tour of sorts see how the students act, the teachings the professor's. But on another note, it would mean we can't travel because I'm not leaving Roku anywhere alone. We won't be able to travel for a little while if she attends school. It would also be more damaging if she makes friends, and then we move and she has to leave all her friend's. I think you helped her a lot since you two first bonded. I think it would be a good idea to send her to school but would it be a good idea at this very moment? I don't know honestly we can't keep her couped up forever, she will need friends her age to bond with and experiences, I haven't had and you hadn't gotten."`

*He hugged her head to his chest.* `"With everything I said in mind we can make the right decision, whatever It is, I support your plans your better at making plans"`
Marlene
*Felt her hair being moved from her face, she would feel the gentle press and prod it made her giggle and laugh* `"Stop it, it tickles!"` *She laughs softly as she looks at ai in a giggling fit.* `"Mama I think it didn't heal because the bone wasn't aligned"` *She should know somewhat, she did after replaced all of faedons organs and repaired and replaced some of his bones but different races she didn't know much about her own race or biology at that matter. As she was told that she she wouldn't be able to go to the library yet she did get slightly pouty bit as ai explained why she calmed down and understood.*

`"Ok mama as long as I can get a snack final offer."` *She giggles trying to get something out of this as she said she would talk to faedon outside she nodded and smiles as she looks for her book as they left and she begab to write in her diary.*
Russell
*He was right... Everything he said he was right.* "But... I want to keep her forever.." *She held him close, and buried her head into his chest to cry. The sadness she felt hearing Roku's cries, the disappointment in herself for feeling like a bad parent... In his arms she felt safe to shed her tears she had bottled up.* "I just... Want the world for her.." *After many minutes, she would wipe her tears and gently take his hands* "Alright... We will look. But *Only* Look. I also think- maybe we should see what Roku has to say. You're right. She will live her own life and... I don't want her to miss those chances we never got to have.."
Glenda
`"One thing I'll say is I never want to hear her scream again it was worse then anything I ever felt in my heart before."` *He took a breath as he expressed his feelings and emotions to ai* `"I'd rather go through pain and dying then to hear our baby cry and scream like that ever."` 

*As he collected himself he spoke* `"Maybe she won't leave it is ultimately her decision but it will be a few years or more from now until she is fully developed my love, she still has the mind from what we seen would you say between 12-14? Anywhere in that range?"` *He asked for advice, on this but as she heard and felt her cry he gently rubbed her back one arm wrapped around her head protectively as he kissed her head and rubbed his cheek on the top of her head* `"I know my love I also want that for now we will do the best we can as we we are currently doing hm."` *Lifting her head up by the chin he used his sleeve to wipe her face gently and leaning down looking into her eyes as he placed his forehead against hers.* `"Then we shall only look, just a little peak."` *He would joke softly* `"Yes we will ask her when she is feeling better in a few days, I believe even if she lives her own life she will never be further then within arms reach of us but that's for the future."` *He gently leans down over ai resting her back on the seat of the carriage as he was over her body with his, his forehead still pressed against hers he gently kissed her lips before backing away and staring into her eyes lovingly before kissing her deeper and more passionately and keeping a gentle slow pace*
Russell
*A few years was even still too soon for her...* "Twelve to fourteen? She's just growing so fast and catching up with the time her body was stunted for I just... Always want her to be little Roku.." *She knew there was a chance Roku would want to attend school, and she would have to try her best to give that dream to her... The power of choice. Feeling him move her back onto the seat of the carriage, she placed her hands on his shoulders and closed her eyes... Softly nuzzling her forehead against his. She opened them only halfway to look into his... Feeling her heart race just a little faster she could never hold his gaze for long. Romantically gliding her fingers through her hair as they shared a deeper and more passionate kiss... She felt the urges and desires slowly creep up but she had to supress them. They didn't have any privacy for marital acts like that... So she would break the kiss and place her hand against his cheek.* "My love... Roku will hear.." *They'd have to wait for a more opportune moment.* "I want to... But I don't want both of our bodies unable to protect her if something happens. She doesn't have her angel.."

 *She would promise to make it up to him, tenderly gliding the tip of her tongue teasingly across his lips before heading to the door.* "Will you be coming inside?" *Men sometimes liked to sit alone with their thoughts or go on walks. She just wanted to know where if was going if he was going anywnere.*
Glenda
*Kept thinking about it he more or less settled around 12-13 instead of his previous thought of fourteen* `"I believe in my personal opinion she is between 12-13 around there leaning more to 12 in development well I don't know entirely we will see as time goes on."` *Feeling ai's hands on his shoulders as she closed her eyes and nuzzled her forehead against his he looked at her with a look of love and need for her. Feeling her fingers glide through his hair, he felt tingly inside of his body and it made his heart pick up pace. As there deep kiss was broken he blushes softly and looks slightly away embarrassed ai was right privacy was something he didn't care about they had done it on the side of a lake on a mountain top in the carriage beside a shop but he didn't want to do anything further now Roku was there first priority.* `"Your right my love Roku first before this."` *At the mention of her angel he slowly began to lean up feeling her tongues tip glide across his lips he blushes deeply as he tried to restrain his lust*

 `"The angel, perhaps we were to harsh and cold on the boy... I feel sympathetic towards him. I feel bad for what I did even though at the moment I believe it was the right course of action what of the boys feelings he was innocent in all this."` *He sat up as she went to the door he turned to face her and speaking softly* `"I'll probably go for a small walk in that direction and take a small bathroom break give us some well time for ourselves. Tell our little bat I love her hm?"` *He smiles as he climbs down from the carriage hiding the fact she got him aroused as he calmed himself down a bit and began to walk into the forest quietly he thought about cutting his hair shorter, he didn't know if she liked it long or short, he perosnally didn't have a preference however whatever made him more handsome for her he would do. He made it just out of view of the carriage and walked into the forest his boots crunching on leaves he took in the air."`
Russell
"Too harsh on him? My dearest... He could **Kill** Our daughter. So easily the tables could turn. He is a stranger, and ee don't know what he's really like once he's accustomed to his new lifestyle... People change." *She looked out in the direction he pointed and nodded* "I will. Don't be too long, ok? I love you.." *She blushed when she said it, timidly tucking her hair behind her ear and blushing as she smiled to herself. She went into the carriage and as she closed the door she leaned against it. She was all squirmy and turned on... Biting her bottom lip she tried to snap out of it.* "Roku? Faedon is going for a walk. Are you doing alright?" *She'd sit down at the table to fix herself some tea.*

"I see that you're writing. That's good. Before you could speak, you'd write on your notepad so I don't think we need to cover writing in your curriculum. Math, history, astrology and.." *An instrument maybe? No... Roku didn't seem very musical.* "What would you like to learn about? Are you interested in... Animals? What are you most curious about in this world?"
Marlene
*Continued writing in her book quietly, A age heard the door open her head turned to see ai but she was going to ask where papa was but ai answered it for her. She smiles softly as she said the things she may need to learn* `"Ok! I will learn anything you want me to mama. I like to learn about bodies what's inside of them how they work for all creatures, I also like animals and oh oh! How the forest work plants and potions!"` *So it would be biology/Anatomy, alchemy, Living Environment.* `"Those are the things I want to learn mhm and magic I saw faedon using magic I want to one day help him use magic I seen papa look sad sometimes while sitting alone with his sword I want to make papa happy."` *Ai would already know this but roku had taken notice of this as well as she got more intelligent.*
Russell
"About bodies? Do you want to be a doctor?" *Gently pouring herself a cup she murmured* "Or maybe a surgeon..." *She held the cup in her hands in thought.* "Alright, we'll study anatomy, physiology, and biology. That should shape you well enough for your own path." *Botany too? Well... She didn't want to overwhelm her.* "Horticulture is vast and extensive. I'd rather not be overbearing so we'll rotate between weeks. (Because alchemy is chemistry, not botany) And as for magic... I don't think I can help you there. We wojld need to find you a tutor or a teacher to help you with that. I do not posess magic, so I will not be able to assist you personally."

*Children were very visual learner's, so she wasn't surprised she had picked up on Faedon's behavior.* "I don't think anyone can help him get his magic back but him little bat. That culture is not one so easily understood... All that we can do is support him as much as we can. Until then, your studies come first." *That should be her main concern... Not adult affairs. She understood her feelings, but she was still a child and had child responsibilities.*
Glenda
*Stopped after venturing a couple hundred feet into the forest looking around the forest he did what he to peeing in a bush then coming out finding a spot without to much trees he slowly got on his knees drawing his sword, he set it down Infront of himself taking a small breath*

`"Flame I seek your guidance. What must I do to seek redemption. To be redeemed."`

*He moved into a meditation position as he closed his eyes, try to channel any magic he had which was none but he still tried he would repeat his words periodically still getting no response each time, he was accepting at this point that whatever happened was done. He began to wonder what if the flame is entirely misinterpreted? The religion and culture around it? Perhaps it wasn't that he had forsaken the flame but because he felt within himself that he was unworthy of it self actualization.*

*He remained here in self thought with his eyes closed and head bowed self reflecting on things then began to wonder about roku and ai, what the future held what would happen when Roku saw the school he couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Roku dragging them to the school to see it for herself.*
Marlene
`"I don't know about doctor. But I want to be able to help those close to me like I did with Faedon! But with more knowledge on exactly what I'm doing... It's like I know what to do but I don't know exactly what I'm doing... I don't know."` *She shook her head she didn't know exactly what she wanted to do or be, to early for her to decide, she had a real knack for putting people back together though. She climbed out of her coffin and began to walk towards ai happily* `"May I please have some tea?"` *She scooted closer and closer until she took a seat* `"It's ok mama it doesn't matter if we can't find someone."` *She smiles softly.*

*Turning to reply to reply to ai about faedon she decided to just let it be for now* `"Ok I will focus on my studies I also miss the angel he was a really nice and sweet."` *She pouted slightly* `"When will I begin learning about these topics?"`
