Sakura; 8stretched on couch, she had adapted her clothing similar to her father's8

Terrence: *popped his head thru the window* Lookin' good there, my little dark angel

Sakura; 8smirked, even though she was female and had her mother's skin tone she was her father's daughter through and through8

Terrence: Hey, I've heard. U scored good at the last exam. U might evn get a spot in college level pretty soon

Sakura; 8sat up8 Who knows

Terrence: Wouldnt u want to be in college? I'm going soon

Sakura; I'm not really sure Terry

Terrence: Aww, bt Terra n I r hoping u might end up in the same class as we r

Sakura; We'll have to see

Terrence: OK. So where is Rory?

Sakura; In the library

Terrence: Cool, Terra is looking for him right now

Terra: *popped in too* Hi, Sakura *made her way to the library*

Sakura; 8gave her a mock salute8

Terra: *popped her head thru the library door* Rory~!

Rory; 8looked up8 Hey there

Terra: *sees Jared there as well doing his colouring* Hey there, Jared

Jared: *grins at her n waved before continuing to colour*

Terra: Its been 2 yrs, hasnt Jared spoken yet?

Rory; I know, I'm not sure if he spoke while we're not around

Ozzie: Tht's bcoz he's born mute

Terra: Oh! Mr Jones, sorry to intrude...

Ozzie: It's OK, I was going to break it to the kids sooner or later, might as well start with my smartest boy here

Jared: *squealed n went to his mother's arms*

Rory; Mother how can that be?

Ozzie: *smiled sadly* Its a side effect thing. Or maybe a genetic make-up. Who knws. These things just happen. He's born special, a miracle born frm a reconstructed womb thanks to the AI, bt at a cost. Ur father knws it, we just didnt knw how to tell it to u guys

Rory; Odd if he was mute he wouldn't have been able to cry

Ozzie: Its one of those mutes where they can make sounds, bt just sounds. Their vocals hv no capacity to produce words. Besides, his crying started to sound weird later on wen he was 4 mths old. It was wheezy n sounded like something got stuck to his throat. We sent him for chk-up n tht's wen the doctors told us abt it. He can make short sounds, bt he will nvr speak

Rory; Does he know sign lanuage?

Ozzie: We're teaching him some basics, bt he'll hv to go to special school for it to learn more

Terra: If I'm not mistaken we do hv such schools for this. I once visited a class for deaf ppl

Ozzie: Tht would be nice. It would be a bit sad for Jared to miss out going to school with his sibs

Rory; We'll help him mother

Ozzie: *smiles* Thanks

Jared: *giggled, fluttering his wings*

Rory; 8nuzzled him8

Ozzie: *smiled*
