She nods and gives her a smile, "Okay, I just didn't know if you had them with you or whatever and wanted to make sure you didn't forget them or anything."
As they wait for Hitome to come back down she looks between Laenid and Malyoxa thoughtfully, "I...I think when we get back from helping Ms. Toni, that we should all sit down and talk about this whole baby thing. I really want to start a family with Laenid, but I don't want to make anyone else uncomfortable, or disturb anyone. If you aznd Hitome would be bothered by us having a baby around, we could look for another place. I wouldn't want anyone feeling cramped or anything, because I know that babies can need a lot of stuff, and they can be loud sometimes. I just...I wanted to let you guys know what I was thinking...like that I was...I have been thinking about it. I know I may come off as naive and young, or just cute and silly sometimes....but, I'm serious about wanting a family with you Laenid." She pauses for a moment, "That is...if you still want to have one with me?" She asks, unsure of how exactly Laenid feels about it since they were getting ready to go face more danger.
"Of course, Jin," Laenid says, taking the kitsune in her arms. "I want nothing more."
Jin smiles as she wraps her arms around Laenid and leans into her, "Oh, Laenid...you make me so so happy."

"I don't think Hitome or I would mind having a little one around," Malyoxa says. "I think having a big family in one house is a nice idea."
Jin's smile gets wider as she looks over at Malyoxa, "Really?"

Coming down the stairs in time to hear Malyoxa's words, Hitome breaks into a warm smile. "Really. Family is what you make of it, people who care about each other and matter in each other's lives. I think we'd all benefit from being one big family" she says beaming at Malyoxa as she hands her her backpack.

Malyoxa takes her goggles out of the backpack and puts them on. "And that settles that."

Jin nods while blushing, "Yeah, I guess it does. If I had to leave home for a place I knew nothing about, I'm glad that it was to come here and be with you guys. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have for my family."
Jin gives Laenid a little squeeze as they get ready to walk out the door. Once everyone is ready and walks out, Jin shuts and locks the door behind them.
"Sooo...where should we start looking for Ms. Toni? The tailor shop?"
"That would be the most likely place."
Jin nods as they head to the Tailor shop.
"Who wants to knock?" Malyoxa asks as the four of them arrive at the tailor's shop.
"I think the last time I knocked she told me I didn't need to, so I guess we just go in and see who's around?" She says before opening the door to the shop and going inside, "Hello?"

Elena comes out of the kitchen to see the quartet walking in. "Hello. Is there something you need?"
Nodding she gives her a smile, "Yes ma'am, we were wondering if Toni was here?"
"She just left a little bit ago," Elena answers. "She might be back soon, if you want to wait."
"Would you happen to know where she was headed? In case it would be easier for us to meet up with her." Hitome asks.
Jin waits to see what she says before making a decision to wait there or not.
"I didn't ask, sorry," Elena replies.
Jin looks at Hitome to see what she wants to do.
Knowing that Hitome usually preferred to stay quiet, Jin decides to speaks up.
Looking at Elena she asks, "Would it be alright if we waited here for her? I just think it would be easier to wait in one spot, rather than wandering all over town looking for Ms. Toni. I promise we'll stay out of the way."
"That's fine," Elena answers. "Can I get you anything while you wait?"
Laenid shakes her head. "I'm fine. We had a big breakfast."
Jin shakes her head, "No thank you, I'm okay. Is there somewhere out of the way that we can wait for her? We really don't want to be a bother."
" we're fine but thank you for asking you have a lovely home." Hitome adds
"You're free to wait in the kitchen," Elena says, gesturing to the door she emerged from. She then turns to Hitome. "Thank you."
Giving her a slight bow she smiles, "Thank you very much Ms. Elena." Jin takes Laenid's hand and heads into the kitchen to wait for Toni.
Malyoxa sits at the table and lets out a small yawn. "Sorry...still getting used to daytime."
Looking over at Malyoxa, she feels a little bad for her. Nodding she says, "It's okay, I'm sorry for dragging you around in it. Thank you for understanding how important this is to me thougb. I really appreciate the support, and all of you coming with me. I just...I wanted you to know how much...how much all of you mean to me. I didn't know what to expect to find when we came here, I never imagined that it would be a family....or love." She says, blushing as she looks from Malyoxa and Hitome to Laenid, before giving her cheek a kiss.
Laenid smiles. "I really didn't expect for any of this to happen either."
Malyoxa nods, taking Hitome's hand and gives it a gentle squeeze. . "I figured things would go a little different myself."
Jin nods, "I understand, but even a caterpillar must change into a butterfly. Change is an inevitable part of life, it's how you deal with it that matters. Accepting change and adapting to it, is more productive and just....better, than fighting against it."
"Only if the change is for the better."
"Well....yeah, of course. I wouldn't just go along with someone trying to change things in a way that would make them worse. All I was trying to say is that change is a part of life, but that's not always a bad thing." She says, trying to explain what she meant.
Laenid chuckles. "You probably didn't have to explain why it's a good thing that our plans changed from what they were. I think we're all pretty happy with the outcome."
Jin gazes up lovingly at Laenid, "Soooo happy...." She says with a happy little sigh.
Malyoxa groans. "Toni better hurry up..."
Jin covers her mouth as she giggles.
Toni walks into the kitchen. "Good morning."
Jin quiets herself and looks up at her, "Good morning Ms. Toni, how are you? We were just wondering if you had any ideas about how we're going to deal with Hyggindi? He's crazy and power hungry, and needs to be stopped...I'm just not exactly sure how to do that. He has powers that I don't recall ever hearing other Eidolons having....but there has to be something that we can do. Right?" She asks, wondering if Toni already had something in mind or not. She had no idea where to start, so she was hoping that Toni might have some ideas. If not, they would just have to try and figure something out together.
Hitome smiles at Jin's breathless rush of an explanation. "Good morning Toni, we're here to help."
Jin nods as she looks from Hitome to Toni, "Yup."
Toni takes a seat. "Right now, my concern isn't Hyggindi. He's strong and crafty...maybe too strong for us. My focus is on getting rid of what he wants: the mana well. So the plan is to head to Lysse tomorrow morning and talk with a wizard there who might give us some idea of how to destroy the mana well. After that, we'll figure out a plan."
Looking thoughtful she says, "You're right and that sounds like a good plan. Did you want to leave after breakfast? I think we have everything we need for travel already."
Toni nods. "I'll see if Toska and his friend still want to go along."
"Okay, you wanna meet up for breakfast somewhere before we go, or do you want to have breakfast with your family and just meet up somewhere before we leave?" She asks, wondering if Toni would want the morning with her family before leaving.
"I'll eat here," Toni answers. "I think that would be easiest on Rajni."
"She's not taking it well, huh?"
Toni shakes her head. "Not really. I have to get going. She and I are going to have lunch together. I'll see you all in the morning."
She gets up and goes to the kitchen door. "I'll walk you out."
