King's Row
Seraph's House.
Neph slowly blinked awake, aware of a weight on her, blinding grabbing for her night stand, she found her glasses and turned on the light, looking down to Katie asleep on-top of her.
This was something new, cute.
She gently rocks the seer. "Morning there."
Katie rose her head, blinking as she squinted. "Hey... I think I drooled on you shirt... Sorry."
Neph laughed. "I got other shirts, breakfast/face the music?"
"Music?"
Neph nods. "My parents are early risers, so have to say hi to them."
Katie blushed. "Ohmygod, I did not plan that far ahead."
Neph ruffled her hair. "Well better late than never." She says as the seer rolled off her, the cyborg pulling her shirt off.
"Oh wow." Katie floated over and touched Neph's back. "This is an amazing tattoo, where did you get it?"
Neph looked over her shoulder, the robed angle holding a sword in one hand and a scroll in the other took up most of the cyborgs back. "Got it while working for the resistance, always wanted some ink and they where not picky about me being eighteen."
Katie's fingers trail along Neph's back, up to where her shoulder joined her cybernetics. "This... Must not if been easy..."
Neph sighs. "I was born with birth defects, some form of muscular atrophy, my arms and legs could barely move.... For eight years I was effectively quadriplegic.... Wasn't till we came to Paragon I was finally able to have arms and legs that could move, to take care of myself."
Katie rests her head against Neph's back, wrapping her arms around the cyborgs waist. "I know what it's like to be a prisoner in your own body.... We got that in common."
Neph let her stay there, hugging her from behind, a faint smile on her face. "But now we are free."
Katie let's her go and starts getting changed herself, grabbing her crutches and hobbling to the door, Spike now awake and hoping around. "Breakfast you said Neph?"
The Cyborg nodded and follows.
Seraph and Tish where indeed at the kitchen table, Tish going over her daily planer while Seraph looked up from his newspaper. "Morning Neph, morning..... Tish, did you recruit a new kid?"
Tish looked up and sipped her coffee. "I thought you did the adopting?"
Neph coughed. "Mum, dad, this is my sort of girl friend Katie Douglas, she is from Praetoria.'
Seraph chuckled. "We seem to attract many from there, can I get you some waffles?"
Katie nodded and hobbled to a chair, Neph helping her to sit before grabbing a spot for herself.
Tish watched over her PDA. "So miss Douglas, tell us about yourself?"
Katie explained how she was a seer, how Neph helped free her, about their adventures in the first and night ward, about her coming to Paragon, all the while Seraph got them food and drinks, stopping the seers story to ask questions.
As Katie talked, the rest of the Seraph's shuffled in, joining the breakfast table and listening in, Caroline despite being half asleep looked interested, while Gir looked guilty.
"Well miss Douglas." Seraph says as she finished. "Welcome to our home, I hope you enjoy your time here, welcome to the family."

Neph: I wanna fight!
