Dyanisa couldn't help smiling as her student-to-be walked into the office.
She was planning to start his lessons this afternoon if she could.  

"Jadain," his mom nodded her head and the boy turned to face the new 
girl. Looking directly at her, he *thought* a hello to her. The other's
watched as Fae'Rhee's face broke into a very surprised smile.

Dy watched as the two telepathes conversed, exchanging a wry glance with
Jayleigh as they were totally excluded from the conversation.  What ever it
was that they had to say, it didn't take long.

"Dy," Jayleigh said after Jadain had left, "take Fae'Rhee to the tailor's
and get her some clothes.  Then go introduce her to Realee."  She paused a
moment before adding, "Take her to the Med Center for a check up as well.
All right?"

Dyanisa nodded before reaching out and took Fae'Rhee's hand.  She tugged on
her hand and they left for Beret's.
**************
 Dyanisa smiled with approval at Fae'Rhee's new hair cut, it really suited
her nicely.  Now all they had to do was get her some clothes that fit and
the picture would be complete.

Gripo, the skinny, permanently hyper tailor greeted them enthusiastically.
Dy turned Fae'Rhee over to him since she had about as much fashion sense as
a rock.  She looked nice, but it wasn't by any effort on her part, except
for getting dressed.  That was why Amber had decided to make her clothes.
The teacher knew that Dyanisa would probably randomly grab some cheap wierd
colored cloth, have Gripo make it into something that was all function and
would look like a cross between a potatoe sack and a military uniform, and,
worst of all, wear the thing without a second thought.  Just the thought of
that must be enough to give the tiny, neat woman nightmares.

She idily watched as Gripo took Fae'Rhee's measurements, helped her pick out
the cloth she liked and clothing styles, translating as needed.  After about
an hour, Gripo and Fae'Rhee were both satisfied with her choices.  Dy
promised they'd be back after dinner to pick up the first outfit, the rest
would be done tomorrow.

Dyanisa reached again for Fae'Rhee's hand and led her out the door.  Next on
the list of things to do, go visit Realee.  She couldn't have picked better
timing either, it was just past lunch time, so the kitchen wouldn't be very
busy and the food would still be warm for stranglers like herself.

The kitchen was, as usual, nice and toasty, a pleasant contrast to the chill
outside.

"Hello, Dyanisa," Realee said cheerfully as she spotted the pair.  "Who's
your friend?"

"Fae'Rhee.  Jayleigh...want...show Fae'Rhee..to you.  Fae'Rhee...from
waste...just come here," Dy explained slowly.

"Oh, I see, another kitten to add to my liter, eh?" Realee said with a wry
smile and a wink.  "I imagine the pair of you are hungry, yes?"  Dy nodded
vigorously with Fae'Rhee not far behind as Sienra translated.

Realee laughed as she quickly fixed them lunch and sat them down at the
table to appreciate her handy work.  

Though she didn't exactly rush Fae'Rhee through lunch, she certainly didn't
let her dally.  They still had to stop by the Med Center and she really
wanted to find time to give Jadain his first lesson.

With many thank you's and a motherly kiss from Realee, Dy managed to remove
Fae'Rhee and herself from the kitchen.  When they got to the Med Center,
Dyanisa turned her friend over to Calette, and went to see if there was
anything to do while she waited.  

When Dyanisa returned a short time later, the examination was done and
Fae'Rhee was getting dressed.

Calette came towards her.  "Well, everything is just fine and will probably
stay that way now that she'd in the warren.  She's free to go," Calette said
with a slightly distracted smile, before turning to leave.

Dyanisa turned to go get Fae'Rhee, but stopped as she saw Maeve talking to
her.  Shrugging, she went in search of somebody to help.

NRPG: Sorry if this is confusing, but today just wasn't a good day.
