Amorandii spent a lot of time in the Creche, though she had never really minded it. Her mother wasn't really one of those women who liked children. She had babies because it was part of the parcel of being a member of Katila, and having a womb. She didn't do it because she wanted them, or was any good at it. Amorandii didn't really understand any of that, only that her mummy was too busy to keep her and that Creche was where she was happier. Well, when the choice was mummy or creche, the answer was creche. When the choice had an option of Daddy, well - there was no question at all! Daddy was the one to go with.
Unfortunately, Daddy had been signed up to 'baby-sit by that -- oh hi Andii' which she didn't entirely understand, either, but Daddy wasn't happy about it and that was enough for Amorandii to know he'd rather be spending time with her than with the kids he was apparently babysitting. As a result, Amorandii hadn't complained too heavily when B'jin had dropped her off at Creche that morning so he could teach his class. He was due to pick her up this evening, because classes had finished before lunch, and she was staying wtih him that night. Anxious to be picked up and do interesting things (like play with her own toys) Amorandii had taken to peering listlessly out the window.
When Volfetti had arrived and sent Lymsleia on her way, the girl had turned to watch her with intrigued curiosity as the woman carried a package over to near where her son was playing. Amorandii knew Volfetti - she was often at the Creche - and she knew that the little boy's daddy was R'nd. She figured that meant they were siblings of some description, though she hadn't actually said as much to any of the adults; Daddy and Volfetti didn't seem to like each other very much and their interaction was always very tense - even Amorandii could pick up on it! It was like watching her brothers' when Ayyonth was around! All nerves and jittery and waiting for the other to eat them.
While she was watching them, Amorandii saw Benden's gaze focus on something over his mother's shoulder. Following the child's cheerful gaze to the only thing that could spark it, Amorandii watched as R'nd peeked in through the door; that wasn't really uncommon. He didn't like the creche and often didn't actively come in or stay for long. But between the time, Volfetti being in the room, and the way R'nd tried to duck out of sight once more, Amorandii decided with a girlish squeal that he was there to collect her. It wasn't something that occurred regularly, and he never hung around long after dropping her off, but it wouldn't be the first time he'd been there to collect her.
"Uncle Ore....wind?" Amorandii's excited squeal fell off as the bluerider vanished, the six year old running across the room to peer through the door with wide blue eyes. Where was he going? He was leaving without her! A worried frown pulled Amorandii's brows together and she hesitated for a moment before pelting down the hall in a flurry of skirts to throw herself at the back or R'nd's legs, wrapping her arms around him tightly and 'oof'ing from the sudden halt.
"Didn't you come to get me?" She let go, convinced he had stopped, and stepped around to look up at him with wide sad eyes and an unhappy pout. Whether B'jin had learned it from Amorandii or Amorandii had learned it from B'jin was debatable, but it was obviously a family trademark. "Daddy is late."
