The parents chat (throw every parental figure of your WIP, open for everyone)

Valen and Ranir arranged themselves on a couch, arms looped around each other as they watched the door, waiting for the newcomers to step through.
"What is this place?" asked Ranir softly, and Valen shrugged helplessly.
"No idea, truly," he replied. "But it's nice, don't you think? These people all seem just fine."

Matthew tapped his foot on the floor, he looked nervous, he had looked nervous ever since he entered the room. Skylar placed her hand on his arm and smiled reassuringly. He glanced at her and briefly broke into a crooked grin. "Thanks."

"Eli, darling, I have t—" Aura is interrupted by her hysband as she speaks, "—Do you think is a good idea, dear?" to which she responds with a look that says trust me, "Well, since it seems like everyone may not be so comfortable with this place, I must say that it is indeed safe, you see, as some sort of… psichic… I can tell nothing wrong is going to happen, of course, that is not the main focus of my abillities but… It's accurate, for most of the time."

"Abilities?" echoed Skylar.
"Eh– magic and whatnot I suppose." said Matthew shrugging it off. "Can't be worse than Christi."

"Do you know why we're here?" asked Ranir, sitting forward slightly. "Do we all have something in common, perhaps?"

"Hello," Valen called cheerfully. "Come on in, I don't think anyone here calls this place their own. I'm Valen King's Hammer, this is my wife, Ranir Kagent's Bane. Nice to meet you both."
Ranir settled back again, giving the newcomers a brusque nod. She would be the first to admit she was nowhere near as social as her husband.

Aura stands up and goes to greet the newcomers, Eli on the other hand tries to explain what Aura just said, "I want to clarify that psychich is a broad term, there are many branches, my wife leaning towards being a medium while I'm more on the mind reasing side, though both of us are near the empath side of the spectrum but I digress and—" he pauses and his eyes widen for a moment, "—I also want to clarify that I'm not reading anyone's mind nor plan to do so as it would be extremely rude and inapropiatte if I did, which is not my intention, we have no memory of how we got here, let alone a clue on why, though it seems, just like Aura said, this place seems to be safe."

"Oh, is perfectly understandable," Aura said, "My name is Aura Coulson, he is my husband Eli." Who stands up and greets them as Aura introduced him, "I still remember when our daugther was born, we couldn't bear the tought of leaving her with someone other than us," he laughs and cleams his glasses, "Not until your sister trickeck us into going out and took care of Isla…" Aura added.

Matthew glanced from Nidatri, to Mutaro, then to Aura. "Well this will be great." he muttered. Skylar bumped his leg, looking slightly embarrassed. Matthew began tapping his foot on the floor again.

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it, the first time is always the hardest!" sayd Aura while smiling, "I'm sure your little ones will be fine!"

"I get that, our oldest is 26 yet we still can't help but to feel like she's still our baby, but she is an adult now, and we can only hope we raised her right." Aura sighs and smiles, she looks at Eli, "As much as it pains us, one day everyone grows up and has to lave the nest…" he adds.

"So it seems we're all parents," Ranir said, raising an eyebrow. Valen was quick to jump in.
"We have a son," he said, no disguising the pride in his voice. "His name's Boa. He's our first and only, that we've planned so far anyway."
He gave Ranir a smile which she returned, although slightly less enthusiastically. As much as she wasn't as social as her husband, neither was she as emotionally expressive.

"Yeah, we're, well we're only kind of parents." said Skylar.
"But at this point we've kind of adopted a large group of unruly teens." Matthew sighed, glancing at the two knives Mutaro was wearing. Skylar noticed at shook her head at him.

"Parents are more than blood," Eli says, "My older sister raised our brother and I and she is the adoptive one…"

"Misunderstood beast? Sounds similar to my sister." Eli says.

Matthew quickly looked away, trying to pretend he didn't see the dragon's weapons. "Nope nothing to fear. Just a bunch of people, and some coffee."
Skylar groaned a little at his awkwardness. "Why don't you tell about your sister?" she asked, but it was more of a plea to change the subject.

"Well, she is a siren for starters, not the human or bird looking siren, more like a fish but with legs instead of a tail," Eli explains, "Dad adopted her way before he even met our mother, sirens live more than humans so she was way older than us. She took care of us after our parents passed away."

"Oh. I'm so sorry." said Skylar, looking like she hadn't expected that at all. Matthew's response was much less polite. "Fish, but with legs." He made a face and was obviously trying to picture it in his mind.

"That's how she calls herself, and no need for condolences, death is only… natural," he says, "Penny may not be polite, nor patient, let alone not scary, but she took care of us, even if that mean slaping some sence in a literal way, I think she's doing an amazing job now that she has kids of her own."

"Oh, Didn't consider that you may want to talk," Eli lookee ar the dragon couple and apologized, "Enough with my sentimentalism.:

Matthew rubbed the dark circles under his eyes and glanced at the dragons again, they had tails and antlers, but he was too tired to care. Probably shapeshifters or something, he'd be fine.

"Politics are… often complicated," Aura says calmly followed by a sigh, "But I must accept we humans aren't putting nearly enough effort as other creatures to keep peace."

"Well," said Matthew slowly looking at Skylar out of the corner of his eye to see how she was reacting, "I've only ever met one person who wasn't human. A shapeshifter."
"Her name is Christi," Skylar joined in "–and I'm not sure she's the best person to represent magical creatures."
"The first time we met her she turned into a wolf and bit me." grumbled Matthew rolling up the sleeve of his shirt a little to show a crescent of red marks on his forearm.
"Granted, she did think you were going to attack her." Skylar reasoned. He shrugged in agreement and pulled his sleeve back down.

"We deal with non humans very often," said Aura in a somehow positive tone, "Eli himself is not fully human, actually."

"My mother was a fae, though I grew up the human way, I suppose, is not like my sister wasn't raised like human by our father…" he shrugs as he explains himself.

"Our line of work, while involving lots of humans as coworkers, deals with creatures that go from the rational to the esoteric…" she says, "Sentient or not, actually, from those who look like us to those who resemble abobinations that came out of a nightmare," Aura looks all around the place as she tries to explain it without sounding like crazy, in order to keep her away to stressing herself about it, Eli decides to add something else to the topic, "Shapeshifters included, though the ones we call shapeshifters to every being who can change form regardless of their species, is more of a categoty for us."
