fandomtownies | Turtle & Canary; Saturday [04/07].

Well, today was certainly....interesting. All that ridiculous pollen seemed to have cleared up from the air, sure, but it seemed to also reveal something else: a tall teenager in an incredibly well made suit of armor showing up claiming to be Amaya's daughter. A daughter that absolutely gushed about how Amaya had clearly taken her advice and gotten that anti-aging potion that "Daddy is going to love!" and how she could "see what all the fuss was about now," said with a wink, a wink that Amaya could almost see even though the girl had, until that point, not removed her helm. And once she did take off the helmet, she revealed a winning smile and long blonde hair that definitely did not support her claim that Amaya was her mother, until she realized the glint from her smile was not from her shining white teeth, but rather a set of braces, and those blue, blue eyes were definitely a mirror of Amaya's own.

Right. So the island was doing one of its weird things where she wished she could just blame it all on a wizard, like that weekend she'd spent as a child. Only this time it was a separate child, with some mysterious man that she was a little curious about but her desire to not know was much stronger, some man that she was...ugh!...apparently in a relationship with. It was all very confusing, and Amaya would rather not think about it, so it was a good thing she had the store to go to, and she asked the daughter if she could help.

"Zephyr can do it!" she announced brightly.

Right. Sure, she could. And apparently, Zephyr could also babysit, because when they got to Turtle & Canary, it appeared Apu was having a bit of the same problem, only much smaller and multiplied by eight.

Oh, it was going to be a long, long day.

Thank you, come again!

And please do not mind the eight little toddlers running around underfoot today.

Zephyr seemed very excited to help Amaya out at the store, so Amaya was more than happy to just let the girl take over at the counter, marveling at the enthusiasm, thinking she couldn't possibly be her daughter until she started talking about her armor, which she'd apparently custom-made, pointing out recent things she'd done to it thanks to Amaya's advice.

...okay, yeah, that started to make a bit more sense.

A very fancy boy was in the shop with a notebook and a determined expression to get to the bottom of this bullshit right here.

"Hello, ma'ams. May I ask you some questions?"

Sooo fancy! Zephyr can do it!

In fact, she nearly leaped at the opportunity, bouncing to attention. "But of course, good sir!" she beamed brightly, sweeping an arm out as she dipped into a grand, knight-worthy bow. "How might we be of service?"

Angus looked a little suspicious because this could just be a very clever cover for a child kidnapping ring run by someone who just happens to look like a child.

It was right out of Caleb Cleveland, Kid Cop.

"Where were you this morning?"

"Oh, that's an easy one!" Zephyr said brightly, throwing the fancy boy an enthusiastic thumbs up, feeling incrediby helpful. "I was at the shop in Daventry with my father. You've probably heard of him, the great Sir Whisper!" Said in...sort of a whisper, but definitely loud enough for Amaya to hear and groan, because an actual name was the last thing she wanted to hear. Who even was that? She'd never hear of him...

"Where were you this morning?" Zephyr cheerfully turned it back to the fancy boy.

He repeated key words like 'Daventry' and 'Sir Whisper' and wrote them down in case they proved useful for later on. "I was--not here."

He was on a moon base.

"And then there was a glowing portal. Is anyone on premises a wizard, sorcerer, or warlock by chance?"

Ooh, good question! Zephyr didn't know, so she whipped her head and her ponytail around. "Mother," she said, "are there many wizards around?"

Amana couldn't help a small sneer every time that girl said the M-word. "A handful," she offfered, "but I don't think it has anything to do with a wizard, kid, sorry."

So Zephyr turned back to fancy boy with a shrug. "Probably not a wixard, sorry. But...are you on a quest? Do you need help? I can assure you, I am an excellent quester, best in all the land!"

Angus' frown only deepened at that. "I usually help people on quests," he admitted. "With my detecting skills."

He was an NPC. Just admit it, Ango.

She's hanging back, but she's definitely around if anyone was looking for her specifically.

Because of course AU kidlets falls on a con weekend, I will be in supreme slowplay, but I just cannot not!

Whisper+Amaya foreverrrrrrr
