Just as Kimono was asking who was in charge she walked in, hair frizzy from dancing in the rain earlier and then drying without being brushed, wings up slightly to make sure the sleeping flutter foal on her back didn't fall off. Kail opened the door wide for all the little ones following her before turning to Lilia, Silence, and the newest guy, who she remembered vaguely from the castle.
"Sorry I took so long Lily, there was quite the crowd at the Cafe." She took in the purple stallion sitting in the chair across the table from her. "Wow, seems you found another guy to clean up huh?" Kail gave a warm smile, hoping he wouldn't take offence. "I'm Kailani Hoofspen, I help run the nursery."

Whisperwind, a purple unicorn youngster, came in. She seemed to make herself as small as possible.

Kimono looked over in interest as Kail came into the room. He remembered her as soon as he saw her, but didn't know her name. His attention to detail had retained that memory, as well as many others from the battle.
The stallion responded to her smile with one of his own, hoping to demonstrate that he was no threat. In a gentlemanly manner, Kimono stood and pushed a featherd purple hoof through his cloak toward Kail in greeting, "Hello, Kailani.. I'm Kimono, a homeless bookworm looking for.. a place to stay. At least temporarily," He finished his phrase with little confidence, though also thinking it best to get right to the point.

Kail smiled and shook Kimono's hoof. "Well then you came to the right place. We are going to be running a little short on beds tonight I think, but we will be able to find a place for you I think."
How many were staying at the nursery now? They had added on Treat, Whisperwind, and Kimono just this night. Treat really should get the extra room, since he was here purely to help, but she didn't want to tell this new guest that he had to sleep on a cot in the livingroom, with the children. And there was the mess in Kail's room that she still had to clean - the storm had left her carpet and bed a little soggy. Ah well, she never minded bedding down with the kids.
Almost asking why he wasn't staying in the newely rebuilt castle again (assuming he had been in the first place) she shut her mouth quickly. No one liked talking about that. And besides, its not like she had gone back to living in the castle either.

Whisperwind trotted over to Kail. "Can I help you, Kailani?"

Letting out a small sigh, Charm trudged through the door, closely behind Kali and Whisperwind. Her legs wobbling like jello. Charm sat down on her haunches almost as soon as she had made it through the door. The little green pegasus was exhausted. It had been a very long day. Playing at the beach. Meeting new ponies. The storm coming on and having to leave the beach. A treat at the Cafe and more new ponies again. How a little foal had been able to stay awake all that time was a mystery.
Something white again caught the filly's attention. Purple eyes widened, was it Gabriel? Here? In the nursery?
Forgetting completely about how tired she was and how wobbly her legs were she bounded straight for Silence, a squeal escaping her. Stopping dead in her tracks as she neared the colt on Lily's lap, her expression fell. It wasn't Gabriel. Just an all white pegasus colt.

Silence jumped at least two inches above Lily's lap when he heard the door open, catching him completely off guard. For one brief moment he hoped it was Jol but then shook his head in doubt and looked over to see who really was entering the nursery. It was Kail, and some of the other foals he'd seen earlier in the cafe.
So, she's back again, is she?He thought with a chipper grin. It was almost afraid his words couldn't be heard by no one other than himself, since they would have sounded so adult compared to some of the other foals that could barely pronounce words. Although they were probably younger than him.
One of the foals bounded towards him, but then stopped dead in her tracks. She looked rather unsettled. Silence jumped off Lily's lap and onto the floor in front of her. Why did he make her look so upset? Was he scaring her? He tilted his head at her. What's wrong?He thought, wishing he was a telepath.

Charm looked almost apologetically at the other foal. Purple eyes softened as she moved a step closer to him.
"I thought you were someone else." The young green pegasus stated a hint of sadness in her voice.
Sitting down she glanced lopsidedly at him. He looked so much like the white stallion, except this young colt's eyes were white, like the rest of him. He instantly reminded the young filly of the snow and she smiled. Snow was a great deal of fun to play in. Maybe that meant he liked to play a lot too?

Kail was just about to reply to Whisperwind when a bright flash of light outside and the boom of thunder not even one second later made her jump. She ran to the window next to the front door and her lavender eyes widened as she watched Razz's Curiosity Shop roof rise in flame.
But, it hadn't been raining even two seconds before when they shut the door behind them - the storm had moved on. Where on earth did this lightning suddenly come from?
Worried about Razz she threw open the door and called his name out, but the crackle and pop as the flames grew and started to tear the roof from the walls was too loud, and there was flaming debris falling in the road.

The light of the thunderbolt reflected Whisperwind´s silver symols, and made both her and Kail jump. The purple unicorn turned her head to look out the window, causing her big, golden earrings to wiggle. What she saw made her heart jump in a strange way. "Oh, rainbows...!"

Silence half smiled at Charm. He wasn't sure how he should react to the fact that she had mistaken him for someone else, but he did feel sorry that he'd upset her all the same.
Maybe I'll play a game with her to make it up to her. He thought, a glowing smile returning to the pure white foal's face.
He spread his wings and was about to jump at her payfully, but then a loud sound threw him off and he jumped. The next thing he knew, Kail was calling out to someone but he didn't know who. She looked very distressed and it worried him. He flew up to the closest window and hung on to the window cill. At first he thouht his eyes were deceiving him, or that it was all in his imagination. There before him was the scene of a building captured in a firey swell. The intensity of the brightness hurt his ees and he had to look away for a moment, but his white eyes kept on getting drawn to the building next door. His jaw hung in astonishment. What in the world is going on?

As the fire began to die down and ponies ran from the building out into teh street, Kail stop standing by watching and ran out into the street, leaving the door fully open.
(exit to Razz's shop)

All of five minutes after Kail had run out she was walking softly back to the nursery's still-open door. She stopped just inside and looked around with a sigh. "Ok, Kimono unfortunatly you will have to take a cot in the living room. Razz, you can have the extra bedroom upstairs, its dry. Treat will go..." she frowned - where was Treat? She didn't remember seeing him when the group got back to the Nursery. Well, perhaps he found Swirl and the other children, wherever they might be. "Treat will go wherever Swirl puts him. I'm going to go upstairs and check to see if my bedroom has dried out at all - if anyone wants tea or cookies there should be some in the kitchen."
She looked around the room to see if she had missed anything and realized she had! The quiet Whisperwind was still there as well. "Whisperwind, you will have to bed down on a cot as well I think."
That taken care of, Kail went upstairs to check on the status of her rained-in room.

Razz carried Sky Feathers up the stairs to the spare room. Standing in the hall, he watched Kail rustling around in her room. He didn't say anything, he was just watching her.
Sky Feathers crawled right under the covers of the bed where Razz had put her down and waited for him to come back.

The bed wasn't wet at least, but there was a faint "wet dog" smell from the carpeting just under the window. A little air freshener and a vaccuming tommorrow and that would come right out. Not that Kail minded - it still smelled better than the charred upstairs of Razz's shop had.
She grabbed an extra towel from her closet and threw it on the floor over the wet spot, then turned around and jumped at the sight of Razz in the hallway, starring at her.
"Great Rainbows you spooked me. Did you need something Razz?"
