Elvira trotted up to the doorway when she saw Ebony and Kendall peeking through. Wiping her hands on her kitchen smock, she stopped and explained. "We thought we might have seen your boys going underneath the tables here, but they must have slipped out again."
"Also the grow chambers." Liska added. "Don't forget those."

"Hey Buck!", Amélie nodded back. "What has been up?"

The twins continued to explore, this time stopping at this big chamber where they could hear music. This caught their attention and they peered inside to listen.

Delfina nodded, keeping the water sphere and focusing on the dragon. She could see it.
* * * * *
"Do you know where they went?" Ebony asked impatiently.

"Just showing this new kit the ropes." Buck grinned as he nudged Saul. "Saul's been working at the races and other events for a while, but needs some seasoning."
"Uh, yeah..." Saul blushed a little under his surface pigment. That was another thing he was going to have to get under control.
Tex and Strip were discussing something some fifty yards off, occasionally snickering.
A woman was playing the white concert grand at one end of the conservatory hall, and several other people were tuning up instruments at the other. The lunchtime jamming sessions were on.

With Delfina's concentration shifting a bit, the sphere was wavering slightly. "You can relax." Jason said. "Once you have caught your breath, make an illusion that is outside of your visual range."
"How about we head then to the growth chambers, they are pretty understaffed since plants usually manage to maintain themselves, and the systems is pretty automatic." Daniel said.

The twins listened to the woman playing the piano for a few minutes. They could pick up their mother's scent here, finding out that she had been here a couple of times previously. But she wasn't here now.
There were too many people in there anyway, so the twins just decided to move on. As they trundled along, they came upon two double doors. Whatever lay inside intrigued them, so they pushed the doors open with their noses.
* * * * *
Ebony backed up, apparently upset about not being able to find the twins.
* * * * *
Delfina relaxed and managed to calm down a bit. Then she focused behind her, the very place that was completely out of her visual range. Another form began to appear, that of small domestic cat.

Kendall caught a whiff of something, and pointed in the direction of the grow chambers. "I think they went this way now."
Liska nodded. "And lots of trouble a child could get into." She broke into a jog as she continued to the hydroponics section.

"Maybe they went where Ebs spends time like to conservatory. Ebs likes it there maybe they smelled her being there," Phoenix suggested.

"Welcome to the jungle, Saul.", Amélie nodded.

"They probably would," nodded Ricardo, "How about we go look for them there?"
* * * * *
Ebony blinked, then turned around and headed in the direction that Kendall indicated. She recognized where this hallway led. The grow chamber.
* * * * *
The twins found themselves in a huge chamber filled with lots of plants. They were awed by the immensity of it all and moved slowly down the walkway and looking at everything that seemed to interest them.

"Thanks." Saul nodded. "I was here once before, but I didn't really get the chance to talk with you."
Liska saw that Ebony and Kendall were headed in the same direction, and waved to them. "We're going to go in all the nooks and crannies."
One of the caretakers for the grow chamber was kicking back with his earphones, listening to his collection of Grateful Dead tracks. If there was anything moving under his propped-up feet, he wasn't paying attention.

"There is not much wavering." Jason said. "You got some decent focus when not concentrating on a target."
Daniel followed Liska to the growth chamber, then carefully walked around looking at the floor.

"If they did, then I won't be able to reach them," Ebony called back. She didn't want the twins to wedge themselves into someplace where she couldn't reach them and wanted to catch them at the grow chamber.
* * * * *
The twins were careful to crept right underneath the attendant's legs without bringing notice to themselves and headed into some bushes to hide.
* * * * *
"I don't have a target yet, I don't think," replied Delfina, keeping her cat in its place.

"Stan?" Liska tapped the gardener on his shoulder. "Ebony's little boys just wandered off, and they've been tracked here."
Stan ripped his headphones out. "Jeez." he surveyed all the foliage. "Why don't you and Daniel take the rows to the right, and I'll go around the tilapia tanks."
Kendall waved over to the main aisle that was wide enough for car passage. "If they're here, we'll smell them."

The twins kept hidden, watching the adults, both humans and cars spread out and try to search for them. Both boys grinned, but thought that this was just a game.
They quietly backed away and and went along the walls to see if they could find a way out that would not be too obvious.
* * * * *
Ebony followed Kendall inside the entranceway big enough for cars, which was the same one in which she had come to get some of her favorite flowers to decorate her alcove with previously. She raised her nose and tried to pick up on her twins' scents.
