[u]Duplo[/u] [b]"I'm sorry we haven't properly met," [/b]the girl curtsied, flaring the hem of her tattered skirt, [b]"I'm Kirin Cobb, from Eira, and you're Duplo right? That's such a pretty name, I've never heard it before"[/b] "Yes, my name is Duplo" She was annoyed, really annoyed. First the boy, now the girl. [i]Why me, stop talking to me.[/i] Then she realised, she was supposed to look after these kids [i]a baby sitter[/i] she spat. "It was the first sound I remember so I claimed it as my own." She turned to face the girl, momentarily forgetting about Ada, focusing on the mission at hand. "And yours, how did you get your name?" --------------- [u]Ada[/u] [b]I've never asked anything of you, you know. Really with an attitude like that it's no wonder your only friend is a rabbit."[/b] Ada who was slightly tense before suddenly gritted her teeth and struggled not to strangle the boy. "I guess I was wrong Aegar. Forgive me, an old gypsy such as myself has seen to many tricksters to trust one more. Come, it's been a long time since I've heard some news of the outside world." She let some poison leak into her words. "But do not take long, I am weary, I have children to take care of and it grows late" Duplo was talking to the children, which made Ada worry. She could be saying numerous things, most of which were causes for her to supervise. But Ada still trusted Duplo to keep her calm. She indicated for Aegar and Fimion to follow her as she sat down on a log by the fire. She figured Fimion would be a good way to ensure Aegar behaved himself when talking to her. She was aware of Fimion's attention but simply did not know how to replicate it, she had forgotten all about him. She gave him a small smile an turned her attention to Aegar again.
