Re: kitchen
Giving Grandfather a low murmur to check the grounds for any more guests, Marie waited until the spirt shaped like a serpent vanished, and dusted her hands. Then she looked at the others.
"I think the green tea is towards the back. Have to do that, or it all vanishes far too fast. You all have very distinct species marks, but I do believe that you shouldn't have any." She collected a plate of pancakes and something to drink.
"I also think that we should move this out to the living room. More room to manuver, and to sit."
Not to mention more ways out if need be, and she got the feeling that was an important concerned.
"Marie is correct. I do believe you are...Roy, and I'm not sure. Obviously more now than before, because, dear, I don't really recall you being with us...at some point or another." That was to the new red headed boy, and she nodded faintly at him.
"I'll be sitting in the living room. Maybe I'll send the children there to go poke the upper levels." That was a decent idea, and she retreated from the kitchen to go say hello to the others in the living room.
