School Safe Haven

[Zinaya]

She rearranges herself as she gets up.

"Don't you want to see your room, Tain?"

[BabyWarlock]

Looks thoughtful knowing that Toad-In-The-Hole takes a while to cook. He stands up from rummaging and shrugs "Okay Mina."

[Zinaya]

"Come on then!" She extends her hand to Tain and leads him up the stairs to the small landing. Once there she glances at his left thigh. "I think we'll start with the bathroom"

She opes the door and lifts the lid. "Come here! We have to empty your leg bag. Pull down your pants and turn so that the outside of your left leg is over the toilet." She shows him how to empty the bag and then flushes.

"Time to wash our hands, Tain. We always do this when we've been to the bog, dont we? No hugs or kissing titties if we don't!" She smiles at him, eyes laughing.

[BabyWarlock]

"Yes Mina." He washes his hands thouroughly and dries them on a towlhanging from the radiator

[Zinaya]

"Now this is your room Tain." She opens the door to a room decorated with posters of Noddy, Fireman Sam and Rupert and the bed is made with Bob the Builder printed duvet and pillow cases. There is a box with plenty of Duplo blocks and on the floor is a track with a cho-cho train as well as a couple of toy cars and a towing truck. Against the wall is a small writing desk with pencils and crayons in a jar as well as some colouring books. There's a small book case with some children's books as well. She gives him a hug.

"Make yourself at home and I'll start on our din-dins, Tain. Welcome home!"

[BabyWarlock]

Tain looks excitedly at his new room. He pulls out a tattered stuffie wolf from his bag and puts it on the desk. He then runs over and pulls a chair over and starts scribbling something on a piece of paper, even though he still has the co-ordination of a 13 year old his writing was very messy half cursive he then takes some colored pencils out and draws an actually rather good picture of her. He frowns at the picture and turn's to the wolf. "Sasha somethin's missin'. Yes tat's it!" he says and continues to draw on the picture of Mina. He drew a large wolf next to her with a collar with the words 'Mommy Wolf' written on it in handwriting that is only legible because it's in print. on the other side of the folded paper he draws himself although on much smaller ratio by his side he draws a picture of Sasha.

"Mina's goin' to love dis." he says,his dummy in his mouth again. "Let's go give it to her." He walks down the stairs and into the kitchen and holds the card behind his back.

"Mina.." he says cutely "I've got somethin' for you. Closeyour eyes and hold out your hands."

[Zinaya]

Having just put the toad in the oven, Mina closes her eyes and turns around. "What could you have for me Tain?", she asks as she holds out her hands.

[BabyWarlock]

Puts the card in her hands and tells her to open her eyes.

Mina can just make out the words "Thankyou for the new home Mina. You are warm and pretty. I love you. Tain."

[Zinaya]

"Oh Tain! It's beautiful!" She almost chokes, not because of the artistic merit but because the feelings and emotions Tain's picture represents. "Thank you!"

She hugs him, close. "Tell you what Tain, let's go up to my room."

She leads him up the stairs and opens the door to her room. She goes straight to her writing desk, pulls out a couple of drawers and begins to rummage around.

"Aha!" She takes out the little box, opens it and gathers four pins. Then she holds the picture to the wall above the desk. "I think it will look lovely here. What do you think Tain?"

[BabyWarlock]

Tain grins and nods. He hugs her back. He holds Sasha out and says "This is Sasha she is my pet wolf and best friend."

[Zinaya]

She nails the picture to the wall with the four pins. "Now doesn't that look lovely!" She hugs Tain back and asks him in almost a whisper: "Do you think I could meet Sasha, Tain? She looks awfully big and dangerous! You must be really brave to have such a big friend!"

[BabyWarlock]

He nods enjoying the hug. "She's big but she not dangewous. She's a nice wolf."

He hands Sasha over

[Zinaya]

"Wow! She's pretty." Mina strokes the head of the toy wolf and then gives it a hug. "And so soft and cuddlesome. Just like you, Tain." She gives his head a similar cuddle.

[BabyWarlock]

Tain giggles as he cuddles her back. He takes Sasha again and holds her close. Tain's bright eyes sparkle. "Can we pway now Mina?"

[Zinaya]

"Okay Tain, let's do that. What do you want to play?"

[BabyWarlock]

Tain thinks for a moment. "Dupwo? Can we pway dupwo?" He asks shyly.

[Zinaya]

"What a good idea! Let's go to your room and you can empty out the whole box and decide what we're going to build." She surreptitiously checks his cath bag. "Best empty this first though, Tain."

[BabyWarlock]

"Okay Mina." Tain follows her to the bathroom and empties his leg bag he flushes and washes his hands. With a cheeky grin on his face he puts his wet hands on her before drying them on a towel

[Zinaya]

Smack! She quickly taps his hand, but not hard. "Tain! My skirt is not a towel, ok?" She gives him a quick cuddle to signal that she's not really upset with him but that he has to behave. "Now, let's go play!"

[BabyWarlock]

Tain runs into his bedroom and dumps the duplo on the floor. He picks up a duplo dragon and starts playing with it.

[Zinaya]

"Once upon a time, there was...?" Mina invites him to begin the story.

[BabyWarlock]

"There was a BIG dragon, his name was Max.." He put the dragon on a grey pallete away from the others. "He lived in a cave high up in the mountain."

[Zinaya]

"And Max was really a nice and friendly dragon in spite of being so big and scary. But he did like his Mars bars fried.", she continued when there was a buzz from downstairs. "I think dins may be ready Tain. You just play for while, while I go and check. Ok?" She gets up.

[BabyWarlock]

"'Kay." He says he looks sad for about two seconds before he gets distracted by the duplo. Mina knows he has a short attention span, but she doesn't expect this.

[Zinaya]

She scoots downstairs via the bathroom to check and the toad is indeed ready so she takes it out of the oven, then sets the table for two. Although
