Garden Pond<br/><br/>Blaine turned slowly to face Zara.  Unlike Elaine the male creature had not gone under any physical changes.  Not due to any fault of Allen's but do to the fact Blaine had started to turn down the offers Allen had made to help improve his life.  The only indication of Allen's handy work upon Blaine was the scar on his chest from the operation.  The scar easily seen because despite all of Zara and Allen's best efforts Blaine had also refused to be dressed up.<br/><br/>The tension that had been between Zara and Blaine that had been brought on by what had at first seemed to be Elaine's strange behavior and Zara's acceptance of that behavior had been lifting since Elaine had stopped her 'nursing' with Zara and Elaine had opened up once again to Blaine sharing with him why she had done what she had done.  Blaine moved forward on his once again strong limbs and reached out with his limbs taking her hands in his feelers.  "Zara my love... I still not see... how we go... even if Mother say yes... those people say no."  There was the crux of the problem that lay between Zara and Blaine.  He did not share in her optimistic belief that they would just simply be allowed to leave.  Nor did he care for the idea that he and Elaine would be separated by so many miles.<br/><br/>Tanya's Room<br/><br/>Tanya smiled softly an tender expression that would carry over in the warm waves of motherly love she had always felt towards her children.  "And I think my children have all grown up.  I am very proud of you Elaine.  You are speaking very well.  Your vocabulary and sentence structure are very good especially for one up until very recently has never spoken verbally before.  I am also very happy that both you and Blaine have found two very good people that you not only love but that they love you too."
