“I, I don’t know, really,” he said, “I’m just not used to this place, I guess.”<br>
“So? Not many people are teh first time they come here,” I said, sitting down beside him, “And you are new here, aren’t you?”<br>
“Yes I am! I’m Nathan Rhal. Emi-chan brought me here.” said Nathan.
“Emi? Does this have anything to do with her disappearance a while ago?” I asked.
Nathan nodded, “Yes, I had a prophecy that she would be needed in our world, and we figured out a spell to bring her to us.”<br>
“Hoo-boy! I bet she didn’t like that much!” I laughed, “Emi’s got quite a temper sometimes!”<br>
“Don’t I know it!” agreed Nathan, especially now that she’s a Mord-Sith now.”<br>
“A Mord-Sith? What’s that?” I asked, puzzled.
Nathan explained to me what a Mord-Sith was, and how Emi-chan was made one by teh new training and all teh rest of it.
“Good Lord!” I exclaimed, “She was powerful enough before, but now . . . “<br>
Nathan sighed. “And that’s another thing that bothers me.”<br>
“What’s that?”
“It’s how everyone here takes all this so calmly! I’m over a thousand years old, and used to either being feared for my powers or collared to keep them under control. I’m not used to being treated as, as ordinary!” he said.
"You'er over a thousand years old?" I said, "You sure don't look it!" I said admireingly, "But then again, I don't think anyone here looks as old as they really are!"
"That's teh kind of attitude I'm talking about! You're all so blase about this!" Nathan wailed.
Concerned, I reached over and patted his shoulder. “Hey! It can’t be all bad!” I told him, “At least now you can do pretty much what you want, instead of being at teh beck and call of everyone who wants to use you for their own ends! Tell you what,” said getting up and holding out my hand to Nathan, “Why don’t I show you around and introduce you to some people? You may be able to make some friends here!”<br>
“Well,” he said dubiously, getting up and taking my hand, “If you think it will help—“
“Okay!” I said, “First thing is, don’t use teh elevators unless one of teh kids are aboard.”<br>
“Why not?” Nathan said.
“They’re not always reliable! teh only time they work with out any problems is when a child is aboard, or if there’s a serious medical emergency. You see, teh Infirmary is downstairs, and that’s teh fastest way to get there.” I went on to explain some of teh idiosyncrasies of our little place.
“You seem to know a lot about this place!” Nathan said when I stopped for a breath, “What exactly is it you do here?”<br>
That stopped me in my tracks. “Do? I really don’t know what you’d call it; a caretaker, maybe?”<br>
Nathan laughed. I had to stare; he looked so much younger when he did that. “You don’t know?” he asked.
“It’s kinda hard to explain!” I said, “When we started getting all these people here, we quickly ran outta rooms in our homes for them. I suggested to a friend of mine, Snapdragon, that Wolfwood should buy this building for his Orphanage, and to open up teh rest of teh rooms for business and rooms for rent for income. I was teh one who designed teh plans for everything, and teh next thing we knew, it all took off on it’s own!”<br>
“On it’s own?” asked Nathan, “How could that be?”<br>
I shrugged, “I really don’t know! For example, we started out with three floors, and were close to running outta room for our people, when BAM!, we now have four floors! And I already told you about teh elevators.”<br>
“I, I don’t know, really,” he said, “I’m just not used to this place, I guess.”<br>

I'm re-posting this so I'm semi-up to date with it and will HOPEFULLY do something with it tonight.
P-kitty... this isn't as easy as I thought it would be to write... *bangs head on desk*
