Kiddie AU - Aya's living on the couch.

"She's WHAT?!" Elcy, it turned out, could roar. Much like a lion...only louder, if her son was to be believed, "Braig! Why didn't you tell me this earlier? We have spare rooms!"

"Mom...I..."

"We," Dilan broke in, "we didn't think..."

"I am very disappointed in the two of you. You are going to march right over there, young man," that was with a pointed finger at her son, "and grab that poor girl's things and bring them back here. You," at Dilan, "are going to get the larger of the spare rooms set up for her. I am going to go shopping. What's Aya's favourite colour?"

"Sky blue." said Braig, already grabbing his coat and heading out. He did not, nobody argued with his mom when she was that angry.

"Sky blue. Fine. Dilan, call Yinsi and let him know Aya is moving in with us."

"...Yes'm." Dilan mumbled, the last thing Braig heard before the door closed.

It didn't take long for him to get over to Aya's house...Aya's...old...house. "Hey! Ayay! You here?"

She blinked, then hugged him back. "Okay! Thank you!"

After another squeeze he stood up and held her hand, "And you like where the posters are? We can move them if you want."

She swung their held hands and smiled. "No, they're okay? I think? We were those moogles on Halloween!"

"Yes, we were." Braig agreed, "Now lets go down and see if Dilan'll let us help set the table, okay?"

"Okay!" She grinned and dashed for the door, dragging him with her as a matter of course. Yes, she was learning drag etiquette from the boys! "He'll say yes right? He's gotta help cook!"

"Hope so! It's our job to help make sure he doesn't over-work himself." Braig tried to keep things clear for Aya, and she really did seem like the kind of little girl who liked having jobs.

He grinned as he was dragged.

Well, yes, she was here she was going to be useful! She just also knew Dilan got more messed up than she did if he couldn't do something. The stairs were fun, dragging someone with much longer legs than her! Then it was the wild careen into the kitchen and "Can we help?!"

Elcy turned to smile at the two, "Sure, Aya. Why don't you get the tableware out for Braig to set the table."

Dilan was still cutting things up, at this point he was making carrot slices in the shapes of little animals to add to the salad.

"I can do that!" Aya chirped happily, finally dropping Braig's hand so she could dig in a drawer. "Are those bunnies?"

"Uh huh. And turtles." Dilan said mildly, "Mom said I could do fun things."

Braig hovered around between the two of them until Aya was passing him things, then set the table. "Looks good, Dilan."

"Cool! Can you do moogles?" She asked, poking one of the finished pieces but not eating it. She knew better! And there were forks, and knives, and spoons and napkins and...what else for Braig? Plates were up high as were the cups.

"Probably." he said slowly, "The bobbles'll be hard." but he bent his knife to the task, trying to do little carrot Moogles."

Braig patted her head and got the things that were up high, "I got it, Aya. Napkins?"

"Cause you're awesome!" Aya chirped, probably to both of them. For moogles AND plates! "I can get napkins!" And she could even fold them while she waited.

They wanted baby origami napkins right?

Dilan was still cutting things when the napkins were folded, and completely intent on what he was doing.

Braig, however, said; "I didn't know you did origami, Aya. You should teach me sometime."

"I only do some." She shrugged. "I know a little and I forgot some." She offered the crane to Braig to set beside a plate. "I can do cranes, hats, and sometimes frogs."

"I don't know any." Braig said, "Teach me frogs." Because frogs are cool. "After dinner." he said when Dilan gave them a dirty look. Nothing is to interfere with food.

"Okay!" She'd do her best! Frogs were harder than cranes after all, they had to hop. And sometimes she got the legs wrong. "After dinner, we will find some paper! Because paper towels aren't the best."

"Sure. I can cut some into squares." he glanced at his mother, who nodded serenely. Braig was allowed to use scissors, Dilan was allowed, Aya...was not yet allowed.

Dilan finished, frowning, "The Moogles aren't very good. I'll have to keep practising, but I'm out of carrots."

"Squares help!" she agreed happily. "It means you don't have to rip any parts off cause they got in the way." And no, Aya was not allowed scissor (except safety scissors in class) and she understood that!

"They're great!" Aya giggled, poked a chunky moogle and then hugged Dilan. "Thanks for trying!"

Dilan hugged her back, smiling, and then held her chair. "Come on."

Braig started to sit down as well, when the door opened again. Yinsi came in, staggering under a box. "I still don't understand what a dollhouse emergency could possibly be." he said mildly, "Aya, I believe this is for you."

Aya's response was "Uh...I'm sorry?" Because, well, she had no idea there was an emergency? "Braig packed me."

"Don't blame yourself. I'm sure Braig did an excellent job of packing for you. We'll get this in your room after dinner."

Even Yinsi bows before Dilan's it is food time look.

"Um, yes. And I didn't know he was going to." At all. Aya HAD NO WARNING except for Braig showing up! "I'm sorry was it heavy?" She asked this as they were sitting down to dinner of course.

"It's more awkward than heavy." Yinsi assured her.

"Mom didn't give me much warning either." Braig said, Dilan nodding, "We had forgotten to tell her that you were on the couch."

Elcy just looked...like she'd finally gotten herself a daughter.

"It's a comfy couch." She sniffed. "Just the right size too!" So there!

"Next time we need like, alarms or something."
