"He's gonna be a mighty Khan, so enemies beware!" Hamlin sings as the childling looks around and grins, "He's gonna be a khan of khans no other will compare!"
Ganbold grins
The pooka keeps going "He's gonna be a conquering Khan, like no Khan was before. He's brushing up on gathering friends around, over the hills watch him soar!"
"Why he's even more splendid than a swan..." the Rat pooka prompts
And Ganbold grins "Well I just can't WAIT to be khan!"
"He's gone be kind!" A wink from the rat "If you don't mind?"
The shakes his head , he doesn't mind at all
"He's gonna be fair! Gonna make sure, his subjects share!"
The boy bobs his head and nods "of course!"
"He won't encourage brats. He'll say that's not cool, stop that!" Hamlin strums
"Stop that!" Ganbold bounces and points at a wall, because it would be rude to point at a person
"Of course after chores he'll run and play!" The rat sings
"How many chores?" The boy raises a brow
"Why you'll have fun most every day!"
"I like the sound of that!" He agrees
"But I think you and I should know about Brightwinds!" Hamlin explains in song
"You have to give others time to learn to like you as a friend"
"Well, okay" He nods
"And often respect is how friendship begins!" Hamlin's fingers move smoothly over the strings
"Now you maybe nervous about the family taking care of you, but guess what, they are centaurs too!"
"I heard!" He grins
"I'll introduce you to them, come on" he motions to the boy
"Well I/he just can't wait to be Khan" they roughly harmonize
"There's kitchen to your left" Hamlin points as they go on tour
"Yum!"
"There's a creature of the night!" he points to a big eyed owl on a shelf, a young one
"Cool"
"Every where you look here, there are folks who want to do right!"
"You bet!" Someone else sings in the hall, more of a call
"Let everyone celebrate till dawn!
our newest and only four legged childing's move here is now on!"
"And he just can't wait..."
"And I just can't wait!"
"To be khan!" The boy and the Troubadour sing, and a few others might be joining in, or they might, like Olgar, shake their head.

Bright eyes watching!

the boy is like no one she's ever seen before.. ok, she's seen Centaurs. And she knows some Asiain Americans. And she kknows some boys, but .. not mashed toether!

HIs tail swishes , but he also has LONG Hair for a boy

Her fingers twitch.

"Ta da" Hamlin opens a set of doors "Oh. I forgot, you arrived early so the family we have set up for you may not be here yet. They'e stars you know?"

Ganbold blinks "Well, that's rather anticlimate"

"Yes yes, sometimes pronounced anticlimactic" He nods

Olgar grunts "Hamlin, weren't you supposed to pass on the NOTE I gave them about the time? Not tell them something, pass the note"

"Are you staying with Ross and Rose?"

"I can find them!"

Her voice causes both an ugly rover, and the centaur boy to turn. It's the latter who speaks

"Hello, I am Ganbold, Khan in training" He offers a hand "I got a theme song! How cool is that?"

"That's pretty cool." She agrees, and bounces forward to take the hand.

He shakes the hand and takes a breath "Rachel, Linda, or Holly? "

Olgar blinks

"I don't think I understand?"

"I'm trying to guess your name" he smiles "You have pretty eyes so I thought maybe you had a name I thought was pretty too"

Olgar blinks Okay. This kid may have Game before he understands what Game is for?

She dimples. "I'm Irene."

"Oh, I've never met an irene before" A smile "nice to meet you. " A pause "I don't know if I've met your kith before. You're not a boggan"

Irene realizes to him, she is rare!

"Oh, I'm a piskie!"

"Cool." He looks up at Olgar "Now, I know a piskie"

"Good work" Olgar grunts back

"We have boggans. There's Hope and Clarence and MaryEllen..."

"I like most bogggans, they're very nice. But our best cooks were trolls."

"No way! Pepper is a good cook, but the best?"

"I don't know a Pepper, I know a troll who cooks with peppers, and oher hot things. Her name is Tove. She's very good, but so is Kerri, she's probably the best, but I am a Fair Khan. I shall ive this Pepper a fair chance, and the others too"

"Pepper makes good cheesburgers."

Olgar smirks

"Ah, Rover Olgar is married to Kerri, she's the Hearth. he thinks she is the best and as he is married should not say otherwise"

"Oh, being married seems complicated. Do you need food, Rover Olgar?"

"I could go for a burger or whatever" he agrees

"And Marriage makes somethings simplier, somethings complicated, but if you're mature enough and in love...it's worth it" Olgar adds

"I shall nneed wise wives when I assemble my horde" Ganbold nods

Irene giggles. "You said wives."

"C'mon, the kitchen is this way!"

Before the Centaur can say he meant just what he said, he smiles and follows

"And THAT way is the library and THERE is the armory and THAT is the mural the Baroness is working on..."

"Oh, that's pretty!"

"Lady Sparrow is an artist!"

"A darn good one" Olgar nods

"Yes! She teaches classes at the center downtown..."

"I could learn to do that?" The boy grins

"Oh yes, you should come! And you can meet Stu and Ryder and Grete and Ashlee and Caitir and Felicity...."

"About that food?" Olgar says before the kids get caught up

"Right-o!" She bounces ahead. "Pepper!"

"Yes? Pepper peeks out

"Hi Pepper! We have guests!"
