"Heya Kiddo" said Firiko cheerily,
Skye nodded, "I take it he doesn't know?" he said in a low voice, not wanting to anger the woman,

She shook his head, and tried not to take chances. "Yes, you're fine now." Megan gave him a nice smile.
Tobias looked at [Firiko] and then at her, and smiled, but it quickly faded. "You guys shouldn't be in here…. They'll catch you–"
"Don't worry…" Megan hushed him quickly. "They're fine where they are. They wanted to see if you'd be okay. Speaking of which, I don't think I caught your names."
"I'm Skye, Thats my nephew Firiko, and a friend of ours, Rio," he gestured to each and then taking a second glance at Rio he gave a quick motion to Firiko in Rio's direction. "What about you?" he asked not paying attention to Rio who was woken by Firiko and then thrown upside down against the wall by Firiko after attempting to attack Firiko.
(This is typical drama btw)
(Oof. A bit confusing to follow… But okay….)
Megan smiled a bit awkwardly. "I'm Megan, and this here is Tobias, my–" She was a little hesitant, but said, "–Younger brother." Don't make it sound awkward.
Tobias grinned and gave a little wave. _They seem friendly.
Megan glanced at the wall clock and nearly jumped out of her socks. "My my…. That took too much time out of our day…." Unfortunately, it's too late to return Tobias back to school… By the time I get there, school would be out already…. But I have an idea… "Well, since it's too late to get Tobias back to school, and I need to get some work done… Why don't you guys take him to the park or something?" She gave them a smile. "I suppose I can trust you three enough…"
(Because… You know….)
Skye didn't want to look stupid, but he did anyway, "Unfortunately m'am, we're not from around here."
"Well…. I can't imagine, this place has so many people…." And how come you didn't think of that?… Megan leaned against the table a little. "I just don't want you guys around the campus– it shouldn't take long before they catch you for trespassing…" She felt extremely awkward.
"I can show you the way," Tobias said happily, "If that's what you're implying… Or… I can just go back to my room."
"No" said Skye, "I don't think you understand, You see I was being literal, We are not just foreign to this city, we're not from this world." he said,
(Imma just ignore the fact that she didn't see Firiko's wings)
(Lol she tryina not be rude and be like 'ew you're weird' I shoulda said something, honestly.)
"Not from this…. World?" Tobias was a bit discombobulated by that fact, and he became confused. "Then how did you get here? And…."
"Don't bog them down with questions," Megan hushed him down a little. "Although… I wouldn't mind asking for an explanation…" She maneuvered in front of Tobias, just in case they had some sort of 'nice guy' act going on.
Tobias was simply distracted, and began braiding Megan's hair.
"We don't know how we got here" said Firiko, "The 3 of us know each other, but we were all miles away from each other last I checked,"
"No kidding, Mate" said Rio, "Anyway when the three of us woke up we were chained down and some weirdo stopped by saying he wanted something from us, and then he left us alone."
"We need to figure out where we are, and how to get back, and sooner rather than later, " finished Skye, "Besides who knows what the people of your world will do to us if they find out what we really are, "
Megan was left on edge. What was she supposed to do? "I'm not sure really how to help you…" She put her chin in her hand, and she felt a tug on her hair. "Tobias, not now, please." She hissed lightly.
He let it go, and it was still left braided part way.
"I can't just say you're all robots…. Since you have a magic element, and that's just… Sort of rude," She added quietly. But… What would the people here do with them? "I just don't have the slightest idea on what to do with the three of you. But it'd probably help if you'd stay out of the public."
"We figured as much, besides we're pretty sure that weird man we saw when we got here was the one who brought us here," Said Firiko,
"Which means that we'll have to find him if we have any hope of going home." concluded Skye.
"Any chance you might be able to help?" asked Skye, "I understand if you aren't willing"
"I would help," Megan smiled unwarily. "But I'm afraid I'm extremely busy with work, and Tobias has school."
He held in the grim expression. Going to school almost got me killed by a car… Tobias didn't want to object, yet he didn't care about learning to socialize. "I can help."
"I don't want you– er– getting killed doing this kind of thing!" Megan didn't want to become that one person that was extremely overprotective, but it was something about this issue that seemed to be raising red flags to her. "After today, I'm not sure if I should leave you out of my sight for too long." Why can't you trust him being on his own?…
"We could help you with all of that," offered Skye, "We're all quick learners, So I'm sure we could help."
"You mean, help me with my work? Or help me help you in the best way???" Megan was getting a bit confused, and she didn't really like not knowing what to do.
"Just let me help them, Megan," Tobias said, finishing up her braid. "It'll be best for them– school can wait."
"Both" Said Skye, "But I was referring to the first one,"
Firiko and Rio stayed quiet, both knew full well that Skye could persuade anyone to do anything that was within reason.
Megan did like the idea that they were willing to help– "But I just can't risk you getting caught by other people…" She said, noting Firiko's wings. "And… I'd hate for you to be stuck in that spot you don't deserve…" She rubbed the back of her neck and growled a little when she felt that her hair was braided. Tobias, I swear…
"I can stay out of sight and out of trouble pretty easily ma'am" said Firiko,
"he's not joking," said Skye, "That kid is pretty hard to find if he doesnt wanna be found, bright red wings or not"
"Well…" She laughed lightly. "How are you planning to help me? Because most of my work is either repairing robots… Building them… Or just writing on what kind of progress we did with a single robot model. And I'm not sure if learning mechanics takes only a few hours. It takes years."
Tobias was a bit upset from when she growled at him, but he was alright. I just want to vo and do something besides sit here and listen to adult talk… He hopped off the table and stood next to her, not saying a word.
"I'm pretty sure being an assistant and a run and fetch guy doesn't take much, and I can do the writing for you too, as long as you tell me what to write" said Skye " besides im pretty good at tinkering around with mechanisms, though I've never seen ones that use electricity before"
"And I can play with the kid for you if you like" said Rio, "I'm pretty good with kids"
Tobias beamed when he heard Rio was willing to help him keep his boredom at bay.
Megan smiled ruffling the kid's a little. "That's fine with me…" She thought for a little bit. "Yet for work, I was thinking more of something behind the scenes where people don't interact as much with you… Because I'm sure they'll kick you out for not being a real employee."
Tobias turned to her. "You do your writing at home anyways…"
"But how is he supposed to write it when I tell him what to write anyways? It's like having to write it down twice."
"But you're not writing it twice– it is just being written twice."
She rolled her eyes. "Fine. One of you can write. And Rio can keep Tobias busy."
"Nice!" said Skye "Now we just need A place for Firiko to stay out of sight." said Skye,
"I wouldn't advise staying in this room– my father utilizes this space as well, and I don't think it'd be pretty if he found you…. Maybe my house would be the best place for Firiko."
Tobias grinned. "And what about me?"
"Well, although you were injured today, that doesn't mean you're off the hook from school for the whole week."
He sighed, but didn't say anything else.
"Whelp, it looks like we've got a temporary solution," said Skye with a grin,
"Yeah but we still have to figure out how to get home Skye" said Firiko,
"Right, and we have to figure out what that weirdo who brought us here actually wanted," Said Rio,
"We'll figure out what to do about that later," said Skye, "First we need to figure out how to survive in this world. and hopefully our new friendship can help with that" he said to [megan].
It's hard to figure out what he wanted when I don't even know who this guy is…. Megan smiled a little. "Well, I don't think it should be that tough… But anyways, I need to get back to work, and Tobias can lead you guys home. Just, try not to attract too much attention to yourselves, and you should be fine." She inched her way towards the door. "Tobias should know how to log on my computer so you can write stuff. You guys should be fine!" And with that she left, and Tobias scanned the other men's faces. "I think we should get a moveon before…. My 'dad' gets here…."
Skye nodded, "alright, then" he said as he pulled up a hood to hide his hair, "hey Firiko can you cast an enchantment on your wings so they're less noticeable?"
"I think so" Said Firiko as he summoned a ball of fire, it then surrounded his wings, like a cloak, then both appeared to vanish, but if you looked closely the wings were still there.
