"I know." Kelly said simply, still attending to what she was doing first. As she worked, he noticed she was ... far more delicate than one would think looking at her. She had no issue with being delicate, but it was definitely not something one would expect considering how she looked.

"I'll head down once done here." She added.

Anna sighed.

"Kelly's with Andrew for the moment." She said, omitting what she'd learned.

"And will be down once she gets a chance."

Anna just shrugged.

"Perhaps this is a good time to properly work past that." She commented.

"Maybe work with your brother on it?" She asked, pausing a moment.

"I'm sure Rocky can cook up something to help with it too." Of course, both of them knew that what Anna was meaning, was some sort of potion to cause him to be a child again.

"Eh, not like much was going on." Anna commented with a shrug as they heard the door upstairs close... but no footsteps coming down.

About two minutes later, a little Kelly, who looked even younger than Ash or Casey, came in, her wings being her method of travel. She had gotten to be very good at hovering, along with flying, at a very young age, and this was just a reminder.

".... You too, huh?" She asked as she saw Ash on the couch."[/b]

Kelly's face didn't flush as he said that. Instead, she smirked.

"I could say the same to you, little boy." She said, showing how much like her mother she really was.

"All right, you two take off." Anna then said. "Have your familial domestic at home, not here."

"I can just send you two, as well." Anna commented.

"If you'd prefer. Might be easier." She added with a smirk.

When they returned home, they found Ashleigh on the couch, on the phone. She waved to the pair before pausing.

". . . Turns out Ash isn't the only one inflicted with this mana thing here, Vincent." She said, addressing the one she was on the phone with.

"Because Kelly's ... fuck, I think she's five? again." She added with a bit of a laugh.

Ashleigh paused a moment before shrugging.

"For all we know, her and Luke got into a massive fight before she came home." She commented after a moment or two.

"It's caused by emotions. Not just intimacy." She started. "As far as I'm aware, it's literally a case of something caused emotions to run high? You have a chance."

"Of course. Just make sure that the Rowena is keeping her shit together. .... And consider getting some restrictors on her so that if she does lose her shit, you don't have your house and lives destroyed." Ashleigh commented.

"Beyond that, I'm going to go find some clothing for my daughter. I'll talk to you later,Vincent." She added.

After they ended the call, Ashleigh just sighed.

"Your closet should have some clothes for you." she told her daughter, who nodded.

"Kk." was all Kelly said before flying off.

As Vincent called out toward the twins, he was met with Silence. Sheer unadulterated silence.

At least until it was shattered, replaced by a more solid silence. That new silence was caused by the mana he felt shake the building.

He felt it, before he saw it.

Rowena's rune.

And it was spreading extremely quickly.

He didn't receive an answer, but he knew that Rowena heard him. How? After about thirty seconds there was a bit of a path from where he was and through the rune. He could feel that it was weaker, but also that it would affeect him if he was there for too long.

As he took the first few steps, he could tell that the Rowena's control was flickering. The control was basically vibrating, fluctuating an extreme amount.

He really wouldn't have long.

At leas thte path showed him where Rowena was. Following it would take him right to her.

He could feel the mana stronger there, but there was still something allowing him to have a bit of a path. That path vanished though, just after he called through the door. It lasted for about five seconds before it returned, but that five seconds was long enough for his soul to be knocked out of the place.

"Get in here then!" He heard from one of the two girls he was looking for. He knew it as the one that he wasn't married to, the one that was certainly more level... and not the cause of this rune.
