(S9) Partha is doing her best, but as Kioshi gets close, she sees the young Wyvern shaking like a leaf. She swallows dryly, choking on her own fear, when at last she finally speaks in a hoarse, barely audible whisper. She looks at Imperia, the closest adult.

"T-that call...it's...it's the s-same call Ama used when...when she..."

About that time, the heavy footfalls of Tirush can be heard. She sweeps into the room, a pleasant smile on her face.

"Ama!!" Partha squeaks and runs up to Tirush. Her words come at a rattling, feverish pitch as the two embrace and she buries her face in her mother's stomach. "Ama, zu'u mïndöl-rah fiin müz'ol boah---"

"Hush, hush, child!" Tirush hugs her daughter warmly, her voice comforting, stroking her hair. "No, not again. Do not worry, Kül, do not worry." She looks to Kioshi, and sets Partha down. Not waiting for an invitation, she steps forward and scoops up the young Kunoichi, bundling her until she is completely wrapped and only her head pokes out of the top of the wing blanket. Tirush holds her up and begins nuzzling her.

"And you, little raven-hair? Did you miss me?" She says, while Partha giggles at them both.

Tirush looks to Imperia as she holds Kioshi hostage to her affections. "I trust my daughters were no trouble? I might have to punish them if they were!" She wiggles Kioshi around.

Thomas seems taken completely by surprise by Maria's sudden request. He opens and closes his mouth a few times, then finally shifts his weight in his seat.

"..Work at the Hospital? I...well, yes, of course, we're always looking for healers," he says, his words brighter as he speaks. He seems stunned. "Are you quite sure? I mean, not to dissuade you.  Your obviously a very talented healer.  I just...do you mind if we discuss your abilities first?  To see where you would best fit in?" He pauses, awaiting her answer.
