As Aiolia went about situating himself, he was approached by the pink-haired girl known as Yasmin. "Oh... Good morning, Yasmin," he said before another yawn escaped him. Whatever she had in the basket she carried, he didn't think to ask. But, he was soon inform anyway due to Yasmin's offering of an apple. It just so happened to be the case that Aiolia was a rather big fan of fruit. Reaching out, he accepted the apple with a smile. "Sure! Thank you."

[Apollymi]

"No problem." said the girl who stood with the basket she carried balanced atop her head. Though she was presently under training, it seemed she was less strained than the very first day she had her Spirit Cuffs on. In fact, she'd been able to go back to pretty much the normal amount of moving she'd been doing before within such a short time period made her rather happy. She'd take a moment and have a bit with their new friend and question the rest of the inhabitants of the house. "No one else is up yet, huh?" she asked as she had a bite of a green apple she'd taken from the basket which was now sitting beside the couch. She was using hushed tones, if only to allow everyone to get the amount of rest they wanted for the day.

[Bloodedge]

"Not that I can see. Don't quote me on that, though; I only just woke up myself," Aiolia said as he rubbed the apple against his shirt. Afterwards, he took the first bite and relaxed into a seated position on the couch. "I've always been a bit of an early bird, though, taking care of my sisters and all. I'm actually surprised to see anyone else awake."

[Apollymi]

"That's fine, they can sleep." said Yasmin as she had a large bite of her own apple, she also relaxed into the couch apparently very pleased. In hearing that this young man had been prior to this taking care of his sisters she couldn't help but smile and nod. "Ah, that explains it then... what a nice brother you must be." she said offering he boy a smile. After a bite she went on to continue her conversation a bit. "I don't sleep very much myself. So, I am awake a bit more than everyone else." Yasmin said a sideways glance at the boy. He was interesting, and Yasmin was happy that Shadiya still had a friend to help her out. "If you find yourself awake early and need to chat with someone... I'm usually around." Yasmin mentioned, but she was hearing the stirring of Shadiya in the other room.

More specifically the books falling from the desk she fell asleep at more often than her bed. A few more stumbles and random noises and the girl's door would open and she'd pop out of it. That purple hair of hers all over the place and sleep still staining those big golden eyes of hers. Yasmin extended a hand to the girl and offered her an apple as well. "We didn't wake you did we Shadi?" she asked of the girl who shook her head no and wiped at her eyes. Her feet shuffled forward to accept breakfast and managed a few words. "No, I kinda... fell out of my chair." the girl said having a bit. "Sorry..." she said to no one in particular she seemed to be not much of a morning person. "Good Morning, Yasmin and Aiolia."

[Bloodedge]

"Well, I try to be," he said regarding the relationship he had with his siblings. As he took another bite of his apple, his eyes darted toward the door to Shadiya's room. The noise coming from within was an attention grabber for sure, but the girl soon emerged from the room, seemingly unscathed bar the night's weariness. "Feeling alright, Shadi?"

[Apollymi]

In hearing the response of Aiolia, Yasmin gave him a more direct look and a bright smile. "Well, trying is all anyone can do." she said with encouragement laced in her voice. Even so, they were soon enough joined by Shadiya who claimed she'd simply fallen out of her chair. This caused the girl to chuckle. "Good Morning, Shadi. If you fell asleep in your bed though, you wouldn't fall out and wake yourself up." mentioned the pink haired girl. Shadiya just waved the girl off and began her breakfast. "I'm fine, thank you. Just...a little groggy." she mentioned to Aiolia who always seemed to be interested in her well-being. "And if you're interested... I was reading something good... and I fell asleep before I got to the end." she mentioned staring to come out of the haze which was caused by her sleep and becoming more like herself as she addressed the pink haired girl who had so lovingly brought them breakfast. "And thanks for breakfast..." she said at the end which just caused the pink haired girl to scoff. "No need to thank me for that... I feel wrong not doing stuff. Anyway.... I am going to make sure everyone else gets some too." she said with a smile on her face. It seemed that Shadiya found it easiest to bounce back when she dove headfirst into reading or physical activity. So, she'd been doing exactly that for days. But Yasmin accepted this because it was obviously it was one way to deal with potential stress. Thinking about the happiness of her group she also placed the basket over her head with a single arm and smiled, leaning over she said but one thing in passing to Aiolia before preparing to leave. "Also, you could have your own room, you know?" she questioned rhetorically.

[Bloodedge]

Aiolia continued to eat his apple in silence as Shadiya explained where and why she'd passed out. When she was done explaining, he finished chewing the bite that was in his mouth, and spoke. "Sounds like a good read. Would you mind me having a look when you're done?" With his query posed, he returned to his apple. Yasmin's departure came with the mention to Aiolia that he could have his own bedroom, but when told this, he shook his head. "I'm fine here. I told Shadi I would stay nearby, and this is about as near as it gets."

[Apollymi]

A chuckle came from Yasmin as she walked away from the pair now awake and sharing breakfast on the couch. "Yeah, I figured you'd say something like that, I'll be around and likely in the kitchen if anyone needs me." she mentioned as she disappeared down the hall. Even so, Shadiya managed only a small noise which seemed happy in response to what the pink haired girl had to say, and also she wanted to answer Aiolia but needed to finish chewing after she did, she seemed to be a bit livelier and continued to nod excited about finding a potential companion for her love of reading. "Sure, it's really interesting... well, if you like the mythology about Djinn." she said a small blush appearing on her face. She didn't much like to talk about things that she liked because she had been previously accused of being odd because of how interested she was in things considered to be unladylike.

She then really thought about what Yasmin said and seemed to catch up finally with why the girl would have mentioned such a thing. "Oh, Yasmin is right, you can have your own room... even with you wanting to be close by." she said standing motioning for Aiolia to follow. while holding the apple close to her face she turned and opened the door to her room walking past a couple of bookshelves. Once she was in the space, she opened a small door which connected her bedroom to a closet and then to another large bedroom. She grinned, she'd forgotten about this one, mostly because even Shaka hadn't taken it when she'd first come here. "This one is connected to mine and has a door to the outside... and you can stop by and borrow the books whenever you like." she mentioned carrying on with her breakfast. "It's a tiny bit odd though, it doesn't have another direct door to the house, from the inside, like it was meant to be hidden, so you'd have to share my door, but since you're sleeping outside if it now anyways it wouldn't make much of a difference, right?"

[Bloodedge]

"Djinn mythology? Now, that does sound interesting. I don't know the first thing about it, but that's just more reason to have a look," Aiolia said before taking one of the last few bites from his apple. Shadiya went on to speak about a room he could make use of without distancing himself. He got up to follow the girl, at which point he was taken through her bedroom/library to the place it was located. He didn't seem to have any issues with this venue; in fact, he grinned while looking around the room. "Even better. It actually reminds me a bit of my room back home. That is, of course, assuming you don't mind me walking through our room every time I plan to go outside."

[Apollymi]

"Oh? Well, I've got books on the basics of it, if you'd like to work your way into the more dense material or... you could hop right in on what I was reading, it isn't too complicated. And the stories are kind of... enchanting." she mentioned books seemed to be the girl's true passion. But that was a topic for more discussion later. When it came to the spare bedroom she couldn't help but chuckle just a little. "Oh, I don't mind that... usually my door is always open anyways, I wouldn't want to deny anyone access to the library..." she said a small smile forming on her face, because in all honesty this wasn't even something she'd consider. "If you want it, it's all yours." she said still being very free with things she would have once considered hers, but she liked it this way. If Aiolia chose to take this room, he wouldn't have to sleep on the couch and have more comfort while he stayed close to Shadiya which was in general all she wanted anyways.

[Bloodedge]

"I'll start small. Books with more detail tend to leave out the little things, and those are sometimes the most interesting." As he spoke, Aiolia walked around the room and had a bit of an in-depth look at what would be his new quarters. "I think I will stay here. Maybe it'll give me easy access to stop you falling off a desk again," he jested.

[Apollymi]

"Okay then, I'll give you a few of the smaller ones to start with." chimed the purple haired girl, who seemed to have fully woken up now. She also had a bit of energy from her fruit breakfast so she seemed to be pretty much her normal self. It also seemed that Aiolia would take to his new bedroom which pleased her to no end. It would seem though that his joke about helping her out should she fall again would be taken as such. "I'd appreciate that... books are kinda mean sometimes~" the girl mentioned laughing just a little. Now that all was settled she happily walked back into her own room, and began picking through bookshelves to find things to help the young man with her begin his djinn research.

[Bloodedge]

"Well then... I'll have to remember to stay attentive," said Aiolia. Shadiya returned to her own room to search for books, and in the meantime, Aiolia tossed around what remained of his apple. At the end of his journey around the room, he seated himself on the bed and took the final bite of the apple he'd been toying with for the past minute or so.

Meanwhile, in the same building, Malik was walking around with an apple he'd received from Yasmin as well. Of course, this was actually his fourth for the morning, but Malik was a lad with a very large appetite. Following his morning stretches, the pink-haired male pushed open the front door to this house, intending to step outside and get a bit of fresh air before the day's training sessions began.

[Apollymi]

A few minutes of searching later, and Shadiya came back to Aiolia's bedroom door, with a couple of volumes in hand. Seeing him enjoy the rest of his breakfast she sat the books beside him on the bed and smiled. "Those are good starting ones, the one on top being my personal favorite.~" she mentioned with a smile. "I'll be just over there for a bit, if you need me." she stated heading back to her own bedroom.

Meanwhile as Malik was opening the door, a blue haired girl would be seen approaching the house. She was prepubescent and quite small but her hair was up in pigtails and hanging down to her waist. She was wearing a small kimono bound at her waist and she was moving towards the house only to take a step forward and trip over her own feet. Doing this caused small tears to well up on her eyes.

[Bloodedge]

"I'll start with that one then," Aiolia replied, speaking about the top book which he would proceed to pick up and open. "Thank you."

Just when Malik opened the door, he was greeted by the sight of a stumbling blue-haired lass. The girl was too far away at the time for him to catch her, but he was quick to spring to her location with an offered hand afterwards. "Jamila, are you sure your shoes fit? I saw that; there was nothing for you to trip over."
