GLoria seems to brighten at the dual assurances, then turns to the adults "Yes, Senora Donaldson, I understand." She looks at Morgan as if appraising "He is kind of handsome. He'll give you a fine baby sister for Felicity and Irene"

For some reason, the towering Gwydion seems to have a coughing fit

and Irene's mother's eyes have gotten real big

Irene looks between Gloria and the adults.

"But I just got a sister..."

"Well, a brother then, but I hear they can be trouble" Gloria warns

"We're fine with two..." Irene's mom starts to say

"Well maybe one day a son would be nice" Morthyll grins

then the two adults realize they spoke at the same time, and not the same thing

"Honeeey?" Irene's mom says to Mortwyl "Can we talk?"

"Now?" He says "With guests?"

"They'll be fine. They're going to make posters" And she guides him off to their room again

Gloria watches this, then looks to Felicity and Irene "Your folks are very nice, but sometimes grown ups are weird, aren't they?"

"SO weird" Felicity agrees

She shrugs. "Grown-ups. Who knows? Glad that's not us."

"Let's draw!"

And they do! Gloria is really good at drawing, and she is happy to help them or take their ideas, but of course, draawing yourself is every kid's right so she doesn't press. They all brainstorm over ideas

"Ooo, what if..."

"Maybe we could..."

"Oh but what if..."

"I like ..."

"... more red please"

"Trade you red for purple?"

"Oh here" She offers it up "it's a light violet, is that okay? I don't have the deep purple"

"I like all the purples..."

"Oh here's mine" another purple handed over. Soon, Irene has ALL the purples

And that's okay with Gloria and Felicity, because there's so many unicorns and not all of them are purple!

Irene will share the purples! She just likes having them.

Gloria ponders this, and then has a brilliant idea "I declare Irene the Protector of Purples, the Keeper of the Lavender Keys"

Felicity says "I second this" because no sidhe likes to be left out of power assigning

There is a pop in the air of glamour.. weak, but there.. and something, purely chimerical, drops to the carpet at Irene's feet! It looks wispy and weak, liike lathered soap that might fall apart... a key ring, and several keys, each a different shade of purple

But it's so weak. It might break

Irene sparkles. "I accept!"

It grows just a bit more solid, but still ... they've group dreamed it, but it's still such a young dream

The Eiluned stares at it, kenning, trying to figure it out. Felicity's house knows magic stuff

She whispers "put just a bit of glamour in it, quick. I think it will help it not fade"

"Huh?" Gloria turns confused "What are you whispering about? She accepts, that's GOOD"

"it is good" Felicty nods but doesn't explain the whisper

Irene picks up the ring, putting some of herself into it.

She feels a bit dizzy, but it works, not only do the keys turn more solid, more real...they also definitely feel more hers. She is the keeper of the Lavender keys.

"Irene, are you okay? You look kind of wobbly" Gloria says

"Uh-huh!"

"Keeper of the Lavender Keys!"

"SI!" Gloria claps!

Felicty claps too, one of those 'proper sidhe claps' but still she means suport

and the keys ..glisten with magic untested

And the poster work continues happily!
