"Bai you are worrying too much, we are perfectly safe here. This is a little known portal, not even the local natives even know its significance. Sure, they pay tribute to it out of superstition, but they have no idea what it is" Maurice understood the woman's fears, she had a very special girl to protect. 

He was in the process of shaving; it seemed he needed to shave twice a day. I guess you can take the man out of the monkey; but you cannot take the monkey out of the man. As he pondered it he chuckled to himself.

"I don't understand what you think is so funny, I am constantly terrified! What if these people find out what she is? We can only keep her uniqueness hidden for so long, and there is that boy who is always hanging around."

"Bai we are absolutely safe here..." his reassurances were cut off by the entrance of a fidgety baby seal.

"Waaahooo! Waaahooo!", it trundled around the room comically

"Oh my, Tink what are you doing now?" Maurice asked with apprehension of what the answer might be.

"Silly Unkie Mo, can't you tell I'm a baby seal!! That's how they cry for their mamas. Waaaahooo!! Waaaahooo!!"

Then a stern look presented itself on her adorable pink face. "Mama! That is so rude! I am not a little weirdo!"

"Serapheena, remember what I told you about peeking into people's minds without asking. It is not polite" Bai chastised her rambunctious 4 year old.

Pouting now, "I know mama, can you help me take off my costume? My wings are very itchy."

"Okay sweetie"

The mischievous little Fah'Rey began giggling.

"What is so funny?"

"Unkie Mo is thinking about kissing your boobies!!!" She collapsed to the floor in a fit of laughter.

Maurice cut himself shaving, again.
