Celine bandaged the little bird's legs " there. Now this little birdy can fly like his other siblings."
Yui ; its a boy ?
Celine : um. He told me.
Yui : right, your magic.
Celine: Yui. Do you want to have many kids too ? After we get married .
Yui : um. Sure.
Sorry. I'm just lying at this point.
Celine : really ? How many ? Four ?
Yui: um.
That's when a girl who wore a tall pointy hat walked across the garden. You could see the obvious white snake around her hat as it was the only white thing from the dark clothes she wore.
Yui: who's that ?
Celine : daddy's guest. She comes quite often nowadays. She's creepy .
Yui : creepy ?
Celine: she kills.
Yui ; so do I.
Celine ; that's different !! You protect me.
He was really curious so he went to take a look.

He passed into by the living room. The big space where it was supposed to hold guest where they first come. But instead you would see a middle aged man painting with his tools strewn around him. He was painting on a canvas, with another painting placed up right beside it.
It didn't seem at all he was copying it though.
Yui went up and was a bit curious " the lady is the same... But you're painting a different picture..."
" Oh. Yui. Yes. Nana had me do this. 20. 20 paintings I've to come up with. She gives such hard tasks sometimes."
Yui : 20 paintings to come up with ? As in, the lady to be in different backgrounds ?
" Yes. No idea why she's at my house all these few months. She usually just comes back to take it when I'm done."
Yui ; the girl with the black hat ?
" Oh. Yes. She's nana. Never told you kids about it. Don't tell Celine. She doesn't like her. I mean I can guess why... " His father in law puts down the paint brush " but... It's the one way we're keeping this household running. Yui. What do you think ? More yellow on the sun ?"
Yui : I... Don't know much about paintings.
" Right right. Hmm... The blue seems a little dark for a sunny day... Got to correct it ..."

He goes to the other side of the garden . He sees her squatting by the pond and looking into the water.
He goes over and realises she was looking at the swimming sky fishes. Sky fishes. They were fishes that were as big as palm and their scales were the colour of the sky. A blue colored fish that seemed like they were taken from the sky, that's why their scales could be so blue. Hence the name.
Nana : hi. Yui.
He was a bit taken aback " you know me ?"
Nana ; I know everyone of the household. Since Alia.
Yui: Alia ?
Nana : oh... You don't know her. She's Celine's... Grandmother's... Mother.
Yui : oh...
Nana : been working for me since she was 15. You know their family's magic. Have the relevant ability with animals. Alia was good at taming animals. Not that she understood their language like Celine understood the bird language. Alia... Was very good at dealing too.
Yui: I see.
Nana : she never could make tame fish though. That's why I gave her sky fishes to tease her.
Yui : you miss her ?
Nana: not sure. I guess. People always come and go around me... And I can't go...
Yui : I see.
Nana stood up and looked to him " oh... That's how you look like. Sorry... Never saw you in close range. Not bad. Celine would be blessed. I guess. "
Yui ; how long are you going to be here ?
Nana ; not sure... Until Lavosky has finished the paintings. Just wanted a place no idiot or tempting finds me.
