The clipity clop zebras drawing the brightly painted coach comes to a halt just outside the doors. A grubby little dwarf of a groom clambers down to open the coach's door for his master and mistress. In garb barely befitting court jestors out they come...

Through the doors enter the family of five. A kender and son lead the way followed by a waddling pregnant woman with two young daughters.

"Whoh this place has lots of stuff layin' around," blurts the boy. He appears about 8 but stands shorter than a human child but taller than kender. "They like wont mind me lookin' 'round and maybe borrowin' soma this stuff right? Like we are family and stuff."

Kendel, apparently the dad, tips back his holstein print pimp hat to get a good look around for himself. "I'm not really sure, Boyle, seein' as you an me aren't exactly Momuses...." he ponders a bit "or would that be Momi?"

"Well Mom's a Momus, and so is Shaniqua (a tiny girl of maybe 4) and Eeesha (an even more tiny one-year-old). So why isn't I?" Boyle demands as something from a shelf disappears into his pocket.

"You are boys silly" speaks the pregnant woman. She appears more dressed for... well, in a backwards nightgown, pink bunny slippers, and a pleather overcoat, one couldn't exactly be sure just what she might be dressed for. "All the girls get my name and the boys get my buff hunny bunny's name."

During this time the girls (Shaniqua and Eeesha) have each gone their own way and are getting into this and that with little to no abandon.

"Freya, like how come you never told me like how famous and stuff you were anyways?" Kendel takes a break from filling his pockets to slip an arm about her behind (He stands about a foot and a half shorter than Freya, so where else is his arm to go?). He gives her a pinch and the two grin watching the kids dash about.

"Say, this is our library afterall so do you think they know what ever happened to my sister?" wonders Freya.

Kendel ponders on this for a time. "Welp, maybe one of the books say. S'pose they might have any books on tape?"

Freya thinks this an excellent idea hugs Kendel in appreciation, nearly smothering him in her chest. Of course, Ken don't mind a bit.

He felt it as soon as they walked through the door. There was no way he could mistake the feel of those fingers, especially of his old friend... and the blood that ran through his friends.. wife?

Apparently he'd been gone too long from the world when he took his sebatical. He'd have to change that and catch up with them on things. But first things were first.

He lifted a hand and touched one of the runes that were etched into the old mahogony of his desk on the third floor, and it briefly flared to life. He smiled then. Let the family 'browse' through the library. It would be interesting indeed to watch their faces when they went to walk out the door and found the contents of their pockets walking back inside.

He pushes himself up out of the chair... and groaned. One of these days he'd get some rest... but there was still too much to do here in the city to take an extended leave. And besides... family just arrived that he hadn't seen in a few years. It wouldn't be good to just up and leave again.

So, with that, he moved through the third floor, and made his way down to the first, a smile growing wider as he approached. It would be good to see Kendel again.
