Following the youth's line of sight Lai huffs to himself, realizing that this demon is not going to make his investigation easy. Not by a long shot. [i]'Noe he's even avoiding me to the detriment of the children he's so protective of! Silly demon. . .'[/i] Don't worry little ones, I'll tell you a story!” They all cheer, quieting quickly as some of the older kids shush them. Despite the shushing however Laisander can't help but notice that the older kids move in a little closer as they continue working. He smiles lightly, not looking at them as to give the illusion that he doesn't notice their obvious interest in whatever story he's about to tell.

Knowing how worked up the little ones can get over a nice rousing tale of good verses evil, he decides to tell a quieter tale. He doesn't know many, as he has spent most of his life fighting, or around others that spent their lives fighting, but this particular story he feels would be well suited for a bedtime story. He dells of the time one of his platoon, though he did not call it that, had misplaced a very important item. The kids looked bored at first, but as the story goes on and they hear of all the trouble they went thought for this important item, and the trouble they almost got into from sneaking around in places they aught not be the children begin giggling and pointing to one another as if saying that they've seen the same thing happening around the church amongst them.

When at last the story concludes the children are giggling and yawning. Athena comes over and begins herding them all to bed. However Javier refuses to let go of Lai's hand, staring up at him with those bright, shining, questioning eyes. The angel smiles warmly at the little one and ruffles his hair. “I will be here for two days, so yes, you will see me in the morning.” The child leaps up and gives Laisander a big hug before finally complying and racing off to join the other children being herded out of the room. Another teen stands up and gives much the same speech as Xephos did Lai's first night at the church before leading the way out of the room and down the long hall. Lai waits until there are only a few left before slipping up to the young man and asking if he can have the same room as before.

“I don't see why not. It's the one at the end right?” Lai nods. “Any particular reason you want it?” The youth sounds a little bored, though as he turns to look at the angel he seems to perk up a little.

“Why yes actually. See, I move around a lot, and I think it would be nice to, when it's available of course, have familiar place to rest my head when I'm passing through.” The youth nods at this.

“Makes sense.” he murmurs, smiling a little as the last visitor other than Lai is directed into his room. They travel in a comfortable silence to the room Lai stayed in before and with a wave the youth says his goodnights and heads back towards the main hall. The angel slips into the room and settles on to the bed. He can still feel his own presence though it has been a week and with a grin he rolls about adding a little bit more of himself to the mattress.

[i]'I wasn't lying. I really do want a familiar place to rest my head. It just so happens that by using the same room will build me my own little power base. I doubt anyone else really uses this room, unless they are overbooked, which doesn't seem like it would happen often'[/i] Once the place feels a little more comfortable Lai heads out, sneaking through the hallways until he's outside Xephos' study. He knows he's becoming a bit of a brat at this point but he really doesn't care. [i]'If he's gonna be stubborn, then so will I!'[/i] Making sure the kids are all tucked away for the night Lai settles down against the wall outside the study door, determined to stay there until he gets to say good night to the demeon.
