Selakir & Alexander

Kenner smirked back at what she said, the expression playing across his face that he was evidently enjoying the conversation. As he reached down and took hold of her right arm with a gentle touch, his other hand brought the ribbon up to meet it and laid the band across the top of her upper arm. "In time Selakir, you may understand my question more so than you do now, but that doesn't matter for the time being. For now I want you to get used to your new home and become more acquainted with those you'll be living with from now on." He released the ribbon at that point and the fabric moved with new life. Pulling itself along the side of her skin and tugging tight as it completely wrapped around her arm in one full band. Even as it finished wrapping around she could see no seam it is fabric, having now turned into one singular piece that alone encircled her arm.

Alia game a soft clapping from her gloved hands across the table, espousing a small wave of glee as she spoke.
"Welcome to the family Selakir." Kenner released her arm as she could feel the ribbon begin to grow warm on her skin, thumping with a low heat as if resonating with the beat of her heart and then nothing.. it had lost its warmth and the feeling of such a pulse. Just as quickly as she had noticed it starting to begin. "This ribbon will signify what place among the house you represent. From now on this is your claim into our home and will easily let you recognize those others among the house that share your place."

Purna nodded to Alexander before looking back passed him towards Masha. His question still hung there in the air as the boy looked back at her and gave his own nod of approval in response.

She pulled on the edge of his sleeve as she coaxed him in, leading him around the edge of the room.
Through the open door Alexander could see that the room was much larger once through the door. There were chairs placed around the room in the form of a circle with only a few of the seats being filled. Most of the people there were tuning their instruments, or talking among one another. Several of which were some that he had never seen before, or only read about at one time. Even some of the people in attendance weren't normal to his eyes. As they both passed by he could see strange skin tones and oddly colored eyes. Some giving the two of them a distant wave, or some other form of greeting as they moved through. It was obvious that this was more of a response for Purna than it was for him, but it was a nice happenstance all the same.

As they rounded a corner and moved down a short hallway, passed several private rooms and through one last door, they arrived in a large room. Three windows through which he could see the outside world, their view extending over the edge of the peninsula and encapsulating most of the wilderness prior to it. He could see that many instruments were kept here in their own little space along with his harp. Which had been set not far from the window, yet remained in a small shaded spot thanks to several pulled blinds. There were two other maids in the room, cleaning and moving instruments around as they worked. Alexander could see that their attire was not too far detached from that of the other maids in the house, but they did possess several articles that differed from the rest. Jacked tails instead of a long hemmed skirt and long sleeves with cuffs, as well as small embellishments.

Aside from his harp, there sat a small stool nearby with a pack of some sort sitting on it and an envelope with his name sat next to it.

Purna nudged him on the shoulder as she pointed. "Well, there she is.. go ahead and get reacquainted." She added with a smirk.
