It took a moment to compose herself after Matilda walked out of the door. She took a deep breath in, looking towards the bedroom where Dristan was hiding. WHen the know at the door happened she jumped, just slightly before she walked over and pulled the door open when a big smile on her face. "Hey there Little Champion" She smiled bright at the girl and looked up to Benny.
"Hello, Benny, Please do come in" She said stepping aside and allowing them back into the house. "Can I offer you coffee?" SHe asked looking up at him. Okay, this was a lot harder then she had expected...
"My Love" She called off towards the room. "Mr. Benny is here" She hoped Dristan would emerge from the room. She turned her attention back to Matilda and Benny. "I told you we would see each other soon. They dropped off a few of your things earlier. Don't worry I thought I saw your forest journal in there..." She winked to her and walked over to her bag pulling out the journal and feathery pen. "DOn't worry. I didn't ready it" SHe said offering it to the girl.

Dristan snapped out of his haze and put on a smile and walked out of the bedroom now and stopped right in front of Matilda and squatted down with a huge bright smile and bright green eyes. "So you are the champion i have heard so much about? Ms. T when she came home talked with me about you and I thought to myself how about we brighten up Ms. T's champion and come stay with us in England and have a great time. What do you Champion?" He smiled as he watched Matilda's response but in the back of his mind all of this everything was weighing so much on him and when he could he would need a moment at a later time.
"I hear you like animals. I have a big great dane that would love to meet you."

Benny let the girl down and smiled to Teagan. "I would love some coffee, thank you." He looked over to Pia. "Ah right, the department said someone would be here to handle the paperwork so that Matilda could spend the Summer in England. Sounds like you are going to have a lot of fun." He grinned like this was a happy occasion and then looked to Matilda before kneeling down in front of her. "So...remember that when you come back, the orphanage might not be rebuilt yet. Lucky you were all out to dinner when the gas leak happened. I wish we didn't have to separate you from your little friend Sarah but, the system is a mess and I've been working on cleaning it, one situation at a time. When Miss Teagan heard about what happened to the orphanage, she called us immediately to set it up so you would have somewhere nice to go to. So you have fun over there ok? Look into things like Doctor Who and what a real Mars Bar tastes like. Have fun, ok?"

Matilda was super excited that her things were already here. She looked over to the man called Dristan "Ms T told me about the big dog. She showed me a picture of him. His name is Baron?" She took her journal prior to speaking to Dristan and after talking with him opened it to the first page. She couldn't wait to show Ms T what she drew. She was really excited about it. "Gas leak? Wait, is everyone okay? Sarah is okay. She is sort of nice. Are all the other kids okay too? Wait what about the animals? There was a mother cat with kittens near by! They didn't get hurt to did they?" Her brain was running a mile a minute for a few there. "I can't wait to see England. Will I get to see the castle? And the queen? Oh and the real Princess and her baby and the Prince? Oh yes, I am very excited to go with them for the summer." She got quiet for a minute. Then looked up to Benny. "Mr. Benny, will I have to go back into the system again?" She was kind of sad at the moment thinking about what would happen when the summer ended.

Benny stood and shrugged. "Not sure just yet Matilda. Paperwork has got to get done and I have to check in and see what happens. For right this moment, you go to England for the Summer and by the time you get back, there will be a placement for you. But, I have contact information for Teagan and Dristan and if anything changes, they will be the first to know so that they can tell you, ok?" He snaps. "Ah and as for the cats, yes they were mentioned. They were picked up by an animal shelter that is taking very good care of them. I'll see if I can get an update on that for you too ok?"

Teagan walked into the kitchen grabbing a small cup of coffee and bringing it back out to Benny. She looked up to Dristan and smiled at him, trying to lighten the over hanging mood. She smiled sitting back down on the couch. "We just have to get some papers done and our flight leaves very soon" She said with smile, sipping her own cup of coffee.

"You are absolutely correct champion. His name is Baron and he has been with me since he was a puppy." Dristan smiled and stood up now and just left despite how he felt. "You can see all that you wish Matilda when we go to London. I promise. Right now.....I have to finish the paperwork and this lovely lady over here." Smiling at Pia. "Need to take your picture and get some information from you as well so we can go have fun." Dristan walked over to the table and sat down now and looked to Matilda.
"Come over here and we can get all this done and then you get to have an amazing summer." His smile faded as he looked to Pia but he nodded and sighed rubbing his neck a bit. "Where were we Ms. Pia?" Dristan asked.

Matilda ackowledged Mr Benny as he spoke to her. She glad the cats were safe. "Oh good. The kitties will find a home then. That is good." She smiled and looked at the food on the table. She wanted one of the cinnamon raisin bagels. She walked over towards the table and sat down near Pia taking one of the bagels off the center. "The cinnamon bagels are really good." She held her journal waiting until this was done. Maybe she would show her on the plane? She waited and looked over toward Pia. "So what did you need from me?"

Benny smiled a thank you to Teagan and sipped his coffee as he leaned against the wall.
Pia smiled at the little girl. "Nice to meet you Matilda. My name is Pia. So let's see. I need your picture aaaand a couple of other questions but other then that, we'll be ready to go soon ok?"
Benny nodded and after a few sips, took the coffee to the kitchen and would soon be back. "Well, I should be off. Matilda you are now in the protective hands of these fine people. I need to get back to the office. You all take care." He nods to them and turns to head out.

Teagan smiled watching Pia and Dristan and Matilda. She nods to Benny. "Thanks for bringing her by Mr. Benny. We'll make sure to take plenty of pictures this summer" She smiled makign her way to put her own cup away in the sink and walking to the table where Pia and Dristan sat. Walking up behind Dristan she wrapped her arms around his neck placing a kiss on cheek.
"Im going to finish getting our stuff ready for the flight" she whispers kissing him again with a smile.

Matilda nodded to Pia. "Okay" She wiped the crumbs off her face. She didn't want bagel crumbs in the picture. She turned to Mr Benny. "Thank you Mr. Benny for bringing me over." She still wondered how she got here and about the gas leak. She couldn't quite recall any of it and every time she did it was just foggy like a blank space in her head. She would probably soon forget about it all together for some time to come. She watched as Ms T came over and hugged Dristan. She looked really happy with him. He had to be a good guy. His dog was beautiful and Ms T obviously loved him. She couldn't wait to start her summer.

Dristan leaned back against Teagan and gently placed his hand on her hands and squeezed letting her know that inside he was he was alright but they would talk later. Dristan glanced at Matilda and smiled. "Alright baby." He whispered to Teagan and leaned back and kissed her looking back to both Matilda and Pia. "Ms. Pia will there be anything else that you need my signature for?" He asked curiously as he turned to Benny and nodded basically telling him thank you for everything.
"You as well and thank you for bringing her here." Dristan turned once more and now just waited quietly if anything needed his signature.

Benny closes the door behind him and heads off, Apparating away to go make his report.
Pia shakes her head. "Nope...not at all. Just..." She picks up the camera and takes Matilda's picture and starts working on her computer. After a long moment, she nods and turns to Teagan. "So...I need a few moments to...work? By myself? Can I trouble you to...take her somewhere?" The Boggan woman looks a bit embarrassed. This was not something that was discussed with non lings in the room...

Teagan smiles and nods to Pia. "Hey little Champ. How about lets go Raid my Closet. You look like you could where some of my things" SHe smirks. "And you can show me some of your favorite things. SOund like a plan? Our plane will leave soon so we have to make sure we are all ready to fly"
She walks down the hallway to the bedroom.

Matilda stood up. "Oh yeah, that would be awesome. I love your clothes. That would be awesome." She walked after Teagan towards the bedroom. When they made it to the room, Matilda opened her journal. "I wanted to show this to you." She showed her the picture. "It isn't finished. I have to do more shading but, um..Do you like it?"

Dristan slowly stood up now and walked into the kitchen and pulled the knife out of his back pocket and put it away and just leaned over and closed his eyes and for the moment let everything just come flowing out. He did not make a sound but his body was shaking and his eyes flashing back and forth like crazy at the moment. All of the emotions of saving Matilda and then watching her get oblivated and other things plus being fully thrusted in the fae world he had to release all of this so that he would not be overloaded.
Gritting his teeth so that he would not scream from frustration he lowered even more over the counter and laid his head into his hands.

Once in the room, Teagan shuts the door, though leaves it cracked, and walks over to another door opening it and revealing a large walk in closet. She turns to look at Matilda and smiles as she opens her journal. Her eyes grew wide as she looked at the drawing.
"This is fabulous little Champion." She said leading her over to the closet. "So, most of this you can look through. Check it out." She smiled.

Matilda gleamed with joy, she was so over whelmed that Ms T loved the drawing. "Really? You like it?" She saw her open the door to her closet and she was in awe at the amount of clothes in there. "Wow. That is the most clothes I have ever seen outside of a store before!" She handed off the journal to Ms T and started to rummage through her clothes. There was like everything in there and Matilda couldn't stop herself from ooooing and aweing at all the clothes. Finally after what seemed like forever she picked out a pair of really cute jeans and this really pretty animal printed tank top. The shirt had cat paw prints on it with a sketch of a tabby cat in the middle. "Can I wear this?" She looked up at Teagan nearly bouncing in her spot as she awaited an answer.

She simply nods. "I really do" She says honestly. She sits on the bed, allowing her to ravage through her closet and smiled. Most of the items were given from photo shoots, as well as some of her own personal stuff but being so small herself she didn't mind letting Matilda go through her things
"So, besides animals what else do you like little Champion?" She would keep her occupied until Pia was done with her gifts. When she asks if she can wear it she nods. "Anything you wish to wear" She said with a nod. "With in reason"

Matilda tried on the clothes and the outfit fit her just right. "Look we are the same size!" She was thrilled to pieces. "Um, I like to read. I read a lot of different books. I like school. Sort of. I am not crazy about science though. Oh they have this new stem program opening up next year for different things and Ms H helped me apply for the school up in Queens. It would allow me to work with animals. I also was going to volunteer at the shelter this summer. Oh maybe London has a place I can do that at also? I know I can't do much. They said I could play with some of the animals and help clean the kennels but I couldn't do much else. Which is fine with me. They all need love also." She looked at the dresses and pulled a pale blue one out. "This looks like a fairy tale princess dress. It is really pretty. I bet it looks really good on you." She smiled as she put the dress up to her and twirled around with it. "Look how it flows. So beautiful."

"I am sure we could find an animal play house for you to hang out at a little bit over the summer in London if you'd like." She watches her, amazed and the drastic change. She was the girl in the park again. She was trying hard to not let the face faulter, the one acting as though nothing was wrong.... She watched her go through some of the dresses and laughed a bit. "I wore that on a walkway show a few months ago" She noted. "Hard to run in but fun to wear"
Teagan fiddled with her ring a bit on her left hand idoly. "I was never very good at the smarty stuff either. Give me art and acting any day!"

She smiled to Teagan and put her clothes away and went and sat next to her on the bed. "Are you okay Ms T? You seem a bit off. Are you nervous about bringing a kid home? I will be good. I promise. I also love art. It is one of my favorite classes. I wish the orphanage wasn't destroyed I could of showed you the painting I did that went to the state fair and won second place. It was really pretty. I got to use oil paints. It was really fun."

"Never nervous." She said matter of factly. "Just thinking. This happened pretty quickly I had just gotten back to London when Mr. Benny called me" She said with a smile. "So i turned around and came back to get you" She smile. "Maybe you can recreate it while your in london? Or make something new." She looks around peering at the door a moment. "Did you find anything else in there that you'd like to take with you to London?"
A thought seemed to cross her mind before she took out her phone and began to quickly type out a message to Elijah about getting one of the rooms ready for an 11 year old girl who loves the outdoors.

She listened intently to Ms T speak. She was excited to go on this trip. "You must be really tired. It has only been like 3 days? That is a lot of flying. How long will it take us to get to London from here?" She thought for a moment. She would like to make more paintings. Maybe something different that she could leave there as a token of her gratitude. Something they could remember her by when she had to come back. She was sadden by the fact for a moment. Maybe Benny would find her a real family back here. It would be nice to visit but if she couldn't make a home there, then she would want a home here. Being with a family and then coming back here again for seventh grade and going right back into another home would really suck. She was sadden for a moment, she couldn't really think like that though. She wanted to just live by the day for now. Not worrying about what would happen when the summer came to a close. "I am good. I don't need anything really. I am sure you have clothes there for me. Plus Mr. Benny and you said that my stuff was sent here, so I am good." She smiled up to Ms. T. "Will I be able to finish my bagel soon? I am still really hungry. I also wouldn't mind some juice, if you have any. I could get it myself. If Pia doesn't mind that we come back yet." She fiddled with her hands waiting for a response.

"It will take about 8 hours to fly from here to London across the big salt body." She smiles though thinking of all the fun they would be having over the summer, though it would be sad to have to send her back to NYC. "We only have a few items. But we can always get you more in London as well. They have lots of fun shops downtown" At Matilda's notion she is hungry and sits up. "How about this. To make sure we do not interrupt Ms. Pia I will go get them for you." SHe pulled herself off of the bed and walked out of the door and to the kitchen to grab Matilda's bangel and some juice from the fridge. Once in the kitchen she places a hand on Dristans back.

With no one looking at her Pia was able to print everything she needed and what would have taken some people hours, was only going to take her minutes. Before too long, she had a pretty new passport and was packing up her things. "Alrighty, we are all set!" Pia grinned and looked over to where Dristan was putting his head down. "Sir Knight? Her passport is ready. Is there anything else you wish of me?"

Dristan slowly leaned up feeling Teagan's hand on his back and quickly he wiped the tears away and sighed. "Sorry about that, had a moment. Just needed....." He paused hearing Pia's voice and looking over at the lady. Dristan walked over and looked at the passport and smiled. "You do amazing work Pia. Thank you from us and to who sent you to us please express our thanks as well." He bowed respectfully.
Looking back to Teagan. "Well it is time I think that we get heading to the airport and go home."

Teagan looked to Dristan as he spoke and nodded simply to him. she turned with Pia spoke and smiled "Thank you for coming Pia" She said with a smile and nod to the women. She nods and turns walking around to go back to the room.
"It is safe to come out of hiding now little Champion. Bring your things we will be leaving shortly" She called down the hall way.

Pia nods and smiles, blushing slightly. "Oh please...no need to bow to me. I am happy I can help. After all...what good i being a con artist if you can't put it to good use for people you call friends?" The red head flashes him a smile turns, heading out with her small bag full of everything that isn't the passport itself, almost as if she hadn't been there at all.

Matilda watched as Teagan left the room and she sat there lost in her own thoughts for a few moments. When Teagan came back to the room, opened the door and told Matilda to gather her stuff up, she did just that. She gathered her journal and looked around, there wasn't really anything else she had in the room to be honest. She followed Ms. T. into the other room. She saw the plate with the bagel and the glass of juice and went to eat and drink real quick before they left. She didn't even get a chance to say thank you or bye to Pia, but she guessed that was okay.
