Rainn ran off to the kitchen.
"Fiona!" she yelled at the woman who was making something to eat for them.
"What is all this screaming about young woman?" Fiona asked surprisedly. Generally Rainn knew how to behave.
"There was this really pretty lady at the door and I think my daddy likes her and I think you should make them something to eat and would you let me eat here with you?" Rainn blurted out in excitement, not pausing, just letting all the observations come out in one long sentence.
Fiona smiled knowingly at the girl. She seemed to pick up things quickly with her intuition.
"Is that so?" Fiona asked and grabbed some more things for the meal, adding an extra plate to her mental image of the pracenda.
"Yes she is pretty pretty pretty!" Rainn chanted and twirled around in the kitchen. Then she ran off the room again to see the pretty lady again. Fiona chuckled to herself. A woman in the house...that was a first. Fiona liked Rainn's father, heck, if she had been ten years younger and a human she would have had a go at it herself! Grinning to herself she continued preparing the meal. She would set the adults to eat in the diningroom and fix a plate for Rainn and herself in the kitchen. The child sure knew a thing or two about relationships...
Rainn ran half the way and then sneaked the rest. She wanted to see the adults in the library before they'd see her. They were talking. Her father seemed confused somehow, he must really like the blonde woman.
Rainn walked in to the library and to her father's side as usual, hanging on to his leg.
"You look a lot like me," she said to Kella "you could almost be my mommy." she said and smiled at her. Then she turned to look up to her father:
"Daddy why are you blushing?" she said, with the knowing tone of a six year old, "Do you think she's pretty too?"
