 She remembered when Aeron had come inside and handed her a paper and saying she needed some company and that he had found the perfect some one for the job. She had just looked at her son and wondered who it was. When she asked he just smiled, said do not be late and was gone again like usual. She had turned it over and over many times and though quietly to herself that she had been a bit lonely. Aeron as always out and she never saw Ashwin, perhaps company would be good for her. She stood up and grabbed her shawl heading for the address printed on the note. She wandered down the street looking at the address that was scribbled onto a piece of paper. Why was she doing this? Did she really need to get out like Aeron said? She sighed to herself and read the writing again, it was not far now. As she came to the door she rapped on it gently and waited for an answer. She was nervous and wondered what and who laid beyond the thresh hold. |

 Mnem could quite easily have strangled her child to death when he said that he had volunteered her for a tea party. With a woman she could only quite vaguely recall from quite some time ago. She had asked Iphis, at length and with a good deal of colorful language, what exactly was going on in that puddle of girlish pink mush that functioned as his brain, but he had merely smiled brightly at her and told her that company would be good for the both of them. He had even set the table for the little party. Damn twit. She was quite tempted to beat the cheer out of him, but she was distracted by a light rapping at the door. She told Iphis to get the bloody hell upstairs and stay there, and answered to a pretty Range bird. Mnem smiled sharply. "Come on in," she said. "You're just in time for tea." |

Maji was a little nervous when the door opened and she was suddenly faced by a female with very vivid hair. She eyed her up and down and attempted a smile. "T..thank you for having me..." she murmured as she walked inside.
She was lead to where a table had been set with tea and various snacks. The smells that wafted into her nostrils made her mouth water and even though now she never went hungry, she still could never get enough food when it was offered to her and she often held back when she could to prevent from being what she had learned to be rude.
"You have a lovely home..." she said quietly. "But...I'm not quite sure why I am here...my son just gave me a piece of paper with an address and told me to come...do you know what is going on?" she rubbed her hands together and just looked down at the table.

Her smile, if it were possible, got even sharper. "From what my charming little girl-boy informs me, he and your son have decided it was high time you met people. For some strange reason, they decided you should meet me." She sat down at the table, and gestured for Maji to do the same. She poured them some tea. "Not that I'm not a lovely and entirely affable person, of course."
She glanced up. Iphis was hiding behind a couch and watching them, probably thinking he was so very sneaky. A vague notion related to her son and cutting this encounter short popped into her head, but it would likely take a moment or two to form fully. In the meantime, she sipped her tea. She may as well humiliate a disobedient child while she waited. "So, Iphis says your son is quite delightful. Apparently he's quite something in the...oh, what do kids these days call it...the sack."
Iphis squeaked, and fled.
Mnem cheerily bit into a tea cookie.

Maji knew that Aeron worried a lot about her and if it was not for her son she would be still be the little lost girl she had been at his age and she would still be living in that cave with Sebak.
Maji went wide eyed at the mention of Aeron having sex...if she had anything to drink or eat she would have spit it all out. "Iphis....*cough* said what about Aeron?" Maji looked like she was going to pass out or something and just looked around wildly. What had Aeron been doing so late at night and so often. When ever she had asked it was always work Mama, and I need to go or I will be late. I mean she knew that the boy worked at a local bar singing, and she was proud of that for her son was a wonderful musician but sex? Had he become a whore and was he lying to her all of this time?

Mnem was tremendously amused by Maji's reaction. Perhaps this tea party wouldn't be a total bust after all.
She kept her tone light, jovial. "Oh, most of it, I heard from Helena. Iphis tends to be more discreet on the whole. Helena spares no details." Unfortunately. She was actually quite proud of Helena's conquests (perhaps an undue level of pride, actually, considering Helena gave her little else to be proud of), but damn if that girl didn't know when to just keep it to herself. "You're not averse to sex, are you, darling?"
And just like that, the fragmented bits of a half-formed plan snapped completely into place. She rose quickly. "Wait right here, dear. Help yourself to the cookies. I have a message to send."
It was a short one, and it would reach the appropriate party swiftly. Iphis is having a terrible allergic reaction. I'm not sure to what. A lie. The only thing Iphis was allergic to was strawberries, but that was of little consequence. Come quick.
She went back to the table, and picked up her teacup. "Now, where were we?"

When the lady that sat across from her mentioned another name that apparently Aeron had also slept with she went pale, or at least she would have if she had not been covered with feathers. Where on earth had her son learned such behaviors? Certainly not from her. She had only slept with two people and...she involuntarily shuttered at the sudden thought of her first and hopefully last encounter of being rapped and it was that incident that had been her last sexual encounter. She could not help but shake almost at the thought of the act that she once considered to be so beautiful.
Suddenly the women's words brought her back to reality and away from her painful memories. "I do not know any more..." she mumbled. it was not really a lie but it was not also the truth. If she never had another encounter in her life she would be fine with that. She just knew that it all scared her now and she began to shake.
Just as soon as she spoke the women had disappeared and then returned. Maji looked at her with curiosity. Then something clicked in her head, why had the women mentioned sex in the first place?

It was very rarely that Mnem contacted him at work. Actually, it was beyond unusual to the point where such contact was actually non-existent. With that in mind, when he got the note, Rai dropped everything he was doing, cancelled his last two meetings, and dashed from the Palace. Without even thinking about it, he had swathed himself in his cloak and pulled his hat down on his head, but as soon as he hit the street, he was in animal form. He saw Iphis as one of his frailer children; rather like a flower just asking to be squashed. The stallion was already making plans of getting the Court doctor and transporting the albino back to the Palace when he hit the stairs, shifting gracefully back to human form. He threw open the door without knocking to call out, "Where is he, Mnem?" The worry was evident in his voice and he moved quickly towards the sound of movement. |

Maji jumped at the sudden explosion that was the front door, the shout that echoed into the building upset her just as much. She sat stiff in the chair not really knowing what was going to happen right in front of her eyes. The man, whom she soon realized was Shinrai, seemed frantic about some one...and considering their conversation she could only imagine it was Aeron and his lecherous behavior. She jumped suddenly before Mnem could say a word and turned to Rai.
"I'm so sorry...I do not know what has come over him. Where did I go wrong? Am I really such a bad mother and person that he must suffer as well?" Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the man. She thought that he was going to use her to get the information where her son was at and have him brought to justice for deflowering his children.
As she was just beginning to remember that day in the park with all of his children and that vivid canine that had suck away with another male. "Rai, you met him, he really is a good boy...please do not do anything to him...he...he is all that I have left" and with that she burst into tears.

Mnem watched this display with a degree of amusement so extreme she nearly burst into laughter on the spot. She covered her mouth with her hand to mask the half-smirk that was quick in forming. That their worries worked at cross-purposes was immensely entertaining; it was an unexpected bonus that Maji thought Shinrai was upset because her son had fucked Iphis and Helena.
Though she supposed she would need to disabuse Shinrai of the notion that Iphis was on his deathbed. Eventually. He really did look worried about the little brat, and the speed with which he had arrived certainly spoke volumes about some kind of fatherly affection for their girliest spawn.
How very cute.
But for the moment she picked up her teacup again, and was quite content to see how the exchange unfolded. She would step in and mediate when things stopped being so damn entertaining.
