Jet leaned back in her chair with a satisfied hum, pushing the papers to one side. Someone came up from the restaurant below with a few plates of hot food. She set one down on Jet's desk, another waitress soon following with a tray of drinks which were also set down. The two ladies then went into one of the side rooms to give Alexis and the new child their meal. Pretty soon they left and gave Galzra and Azur their meals, before heading back downstairs. Jet paid good money for these specific two to serve them, and keep their mouths shut- nobody knew about Jet's headquarters except the people who lived here, and she planned to keep it that way.
It didn't take long for the children to finish, and Alexis swept out into the hallway. With a series of quick, silent hand gestures, her and Jet communicated- the child wanted attention.
Jet rose from her chair. She was supposed to have an appointment with a client soon, but that could wait a few moments. The child needed attention.
Now that they were clean, they looked a lot healthier. Sea-green hair was tied up in two pigtails atop either side of their head, reaching down to their shoulders. Eyes the same blue as sapphires gazed up innocently at her from above a little button nose. Their skin was tanned, and thankfully somehow clear. Alexis did wonders with the little healing magic she had. They looked about the same age as Alexis. Despite herself, Jet let a soft smile slip, and ruffled the child's hair, chuckling at their cry of protest as they desperately tried to pat it back down. How this child had been abandoned was beyond her, as was what creature they were. Alexis bounced happily, her crimson eyes meeting that of the other child, and they communicated swiftly through another series of gestures. Jet was rather surprised to note that the child was either mute or deaf. She wondered which.
"Their name is Annabeth." Alexis chimed happily. Jet nodded, and turned to Annabeth. "Is it alright if we call you Anna?" The child nodded. Alright, so mute. That was easier to deal with. It would mean Alexis would have to accompany the child at all times- not like that wasn't the plan already anyway- even longer than previously planned. It complicated matters somewhat, but if she could teach Galzra and Azur sign language as well-
That reminded her. "Have you eaten?" A small nod. "Is everything okay, or can I get you something?" A shake of the head. So maybe they could communicate on at least a basic level with the boys while they were learning. "Alright, Anna, I need to head out now. If you need anything, Alexis is right here, and there's two boys down the hall who will help you. You should probably introduce yourself anyway. Alexis will help."
The other dark angel nodded, and Jet stood, black cloak swirling about her as she tugged it on. "I'll return soon." She hit the switch and quickly slipped out, leaving the children alone.
