Morgan was speedy more out of necessity on this sort of thing, as opposed to actually being impatient for the most part. Morgan was constantly spurred on by a need to quickly get things fixed up. Who knew how quickly they would grow? Ryuusei and Seimei had grown so quickly Morgan's head really could have spun. Shigeru was already being a little bit slower, but what about these two? Morgan had never before seen or heard of a tat-lung like Pao. She was crimson red, and golden-spotted and eyed, more a sunny tone than a yellow tone really. Morgan had never before seen anything like it. She wasn't a crystal, not a gold, and not a silver. Morgan knew that the labs did not create custom colored tats, at least not anymore, and there weren't really any that Morgan knew of. She wasn't the right colors to be an Agate, or a Lapis, maybe a Coral? She was so vibrant a sanguine tone, that Morgan highly doubted that she was a Coral. Morgan got the distinct feeling that she wasn't any of the known 'breeds' of tat-lung. So where did she come from?
The apple trees surrounding them were probably not going to give an answer. Neither that, nor the unnamed crystal.

Speaking of the unnamed crystal, Morgan really needed to come up with a name for the beautiful being. She was already quite pretty, all pale blue and such, which made Morgan slightly tempted to name her something to do with the moon. However, Morgan eventually was struck with a sort of understanding about her personality. She was super stark, sort of like a peacock perhaps? That didn't sound like a very good idea for a name however. If only finding a name for her was going to be as easy as it had been to find one for Pao- that name had just... Been there. Morgan felt like somehow, it had always been her name. From before. But what before? It made no sense. Morgan was curious, but unsure as to what was going on there. The human would have to continue doing their research, but for now they were too busy trying to learn the last little bit they needed to learn before actually being able to work as a scientist. They were getting so close in their studies, but it felt like it had been taking so long! Still, this all was worth it, all of this work. Morgan would get there eventually.

For now, however, Morgan would have to put the naming thing on the back burner for now. They would have to work on searching for things out here, since they needed more things to study to be able to work on botany. This was as good a time as any to look for produce that would not always easy to find in the gardens. It was important for Morgan to learn the basics after all, scientifically. "Alrighty you two, let's find something else interesting, Ah wait- let me show you some neat aspects about this." It would seem that Morgan's stutter was actually flowing into their hands as well. They glanced down at them curiously. They would not have been able to guess that their hands would also stutter. It made sense once Morgan thought of that of course- it was a type of speech just like any other, probably used the same parts of the brain and everything. They looked up at the tree and then found a nice leaf nearby, that was close enough for them to grab and take down out of the tree. "Here we go, here is a leaf. This is green because of chlorophyll." Morgan said.

Morgan held the green leaf, not quite touched by autumn yet unlike some of the other leaves, to the glass so that the tat-lungs could see it better. "See those vein-like things? Those transport water to the leaf and do all kinds of other things. These leaves use the chlorophyll to capture light for energy to create sugar for the plant. They call this photosynthesis, meaning light creation." Morgan said in triplicate, using the other hand. Morgan was smiling, excited to be working with these lovely intelligent beings. Morgan almost felt like a kid in a candy store, being able to work with them! "Isn't life interesting? I want to learn as much as possible." Morgan was being truthful, this is what Morgan wanted out of life, to learn as much stuff as possible. "I want to learn everything, but I probably won't be able to. Humans don't live near long enough to learn everything." Leave it to Morgan to get philosophical with two just-born baby tat-lungs. Still, working in triplicate as they were, they hoped the two would learn and understand this more as time went on. Humans were lesser than tats, but all kinds of life was important.

Morgan had a lot of things to do admittedly, and not all of them were spending time teaching tat-lungs. However, Morgan was making sure to put as much time into it as possible. These beings deserved to have more attention than anything else, they were, after all, like children. Morgan was the only one around here that could probably teach them, as they did, so it was probably going to be impossible to find them an actual 'school', like Morgan went to as a child for some time. That meant that it was indeed Morgan's job to take care of that need for a growing intellectual being. It was hard for Morgan to believe that there was ever a time that people didn't know that these were intelligent and dragons to boot. They did tend to withdraw and become sullen, of course, when not continually given interesting things to take up their time. Morgan made sure to give Seimei and Ryuusei lots of games and such to play, and it would be the exact same with these two. Maybe they could even get Shigeru to play with them, even though he was a bit sullen. Morgan really should have found a friend to raise him with.

The place was beautiful though, Morgan had to give the mansion that. They had mostly been paying attention to the surroundings and to teaching the two tat-lungs, but Morgan was noticing that the two were taking in the surroundings beyond. It drew Morgan's own attention out across the rolling grass, and to the rather beautiful golden cornfield. The bounties of the earth were really showing around their area here. Wasn't it... Harvest's month, or something like that? Maybe Morgan needed to study mythology a bit more next, and actually care about it. Sure, it wasn't science, which was Morgan's real first love when it came to knowledge, but Morgan did want to know everything... "See that golden stuff over there?" Morgan conveyed. "That stuff is corn. It's a type of food, it's a hard grain that is often soaked in water for ease in eating. If picked early enough, it can be quite sweet." Morgan did know that, at least. "The plants turn gold, like they are now, when they are ready to harvest." Morgan said, grinning. "Harvesting is what people do when they grow something, when it is time to eat it." Morgan continued to explain in triplicate.

Thrumming with an energy all it's own, a beautiful bloom upon the mansion grounds holds something a little more in the center of it's petals.

It was about this time that Morgan felt like they could feel something... Interesting. Yes, it was that strange thrumming feeling, after a moment of them hardly moving, just as they considered. Ah; a crystal. Morgan wasn't sure how they knew this, but they seemed to find them. Not constantly, but at least somewhat decently when it came to time periods. Morgan had no idea what drew them to the ones here in the mansion so easily. Perhaps it was knowledge of the aspects of the mansion that they were studying as a hobby? Or perhaps it was more of the pure hard work they spent, coming here day in and day out all over the month. Morgan planned to do it again next month, if they actually had time to work on it and all. Both of the tat-lungs were staring at Morgan at this point, as Morgan became aware that the tat-lungs probably could not at all feel what they were feeling here, this strange knowledge about the entire thing, that thrumming that showed that a crystal was nearby. How to even explain that to the young beings? Morgan had no idea where to even start to explain their sudden quiet.

Despite the fact that they were smoothly running out of time, Morgan still wanted to find the last few things that they were hoping for finding this month. They didn't really think that they would have time to come here again after this trip though until next month. Morgan was still, after all, trying to get through their education so that they could become a worker at the labs, and that came first, even if Morgan felt like this helped in the long run. Of course, even before that, working with the tat-lungs was even more important than even that! Morgan was quickly becoming drowned in them, not that it bothered Morgan at all. They loved the regal and powerful beings, and didn't mind spending as much time as possible to make sure that they got good starts in life. The Labs could be a dangerous and terrible place for such a being; what with all of the strange moralistic and some other immoral people, both of which were difficult to live under as a being as regal and intelligent as the tat-lung... Thankfully, Morgan could afford to house as many as possible, and teach them as well. Morgan was quite pleased with what they could do for them.

There were only so many things that Morgan could do, however. Time was not an infinite thing, at least not for humans. Morgan had already grown less and less healthy due to issues with sleep, and probably a lot of other things including stress as well. At the very least, they were doing important things that they enjoyed with their time, at least. Morgan hadn't been exactly feeling well lately, but they were sort of feeling a little better today; which was good because these two tat-lungs were going to have to be worked with quickly and efficiently, depending on how quickly they aged. Already, Morgan had a silver egg at home, and who knew how long that would take to hatch? Morgan couldn't help but let their mind wonder, as if zapped a tad, as they were considering the issues at hand. Right. They needed to go get that crystal. Morgan liked to study them, for one, and that was quite important. However, they were also worth quite a bit to individuals also searching for magic, so Morgan wasn't really surprised altogether whenever it made an extra pretty penny that could be used in Morgan's many eccentric hobbies... Like having time to go to the mansion.

Morgan wasn't sure how long today the two tat-lungs were going to be able to stay out. Of course, they were quite young, and that meant that they may not exactly have the stamina for a full day out here at the Mansion. However, how long where they really going to take today to 'explore' was going to depend on how much time Morgan had, most likely. That wasn't too much time to be honest, but they wanted to be able to show the youngster as much today as possible before they went out to the docks to work on the first few lessons. So far, all of the first few lessons had been working quite well with the young tat-lungs. However, Morgan was starting to realize that it was going to be quite hard to teach all of them the most important of the adult lessons; communication. The human would have to work out how to properly get these fixed up in the long run and all. Morgan would have to come up with an excellent curriculum, and of course, Seimei and Ryuusei would be the first to learn... Maybe Shigeru at the same time, if he managed to grow?

Morgan still had a ton of work to do with the oldest of the tats before they were ready to really go out into the world and do as they wished. Sure, they already spent quite a bit of time exploring the city, mostly unaccompanied, but Morgan was sure that they would have to work quite hard to learn how to communicate. At that point, Morgan may even begin giving them monetary allowance, who knew? It would really depend on how well they were doing, at the very least, by the end of it. Seimei had been very strange acting for a long time now, and Shigeru was growing a little distant, despite still being polite. Morgan sighed, though not audibly, and then turned towards the two young tat-lungs, both of which seemed pretty confused as to what Morgan had been looking at up to this point. "I hear a noise." Morgan started, explaining to the pair in triplicate. "I'm sensing a signal that sometimes means that there is magic around. We need to go check that out!" They hoped that the information could be understood well enough by the very young tat lung individuals. Morgan was always worried about that.

Morgan carefully watched the faces of the two very young tat-lungs as they reacted. Since they couldn't really 'speak' tat-lung yet, Morgan's ring couldn't really pick up any complete communications, which was normal. Morgan had this for a long time with Shigeru at the very least. However, Morgan wondered how the ring even worked. They weren't usually keen on using things that they didn't exactly understand how worked, but this ring had saved them so much trouble and frustration in working with the tat-lungs that Morgan had worked with. Morgan couldn't even imagine how awful it would have been to deal with Seimei without being able to explain theirself! He was notoriously difficult, so far the most difficult that Morgan had dealt with. At least Ryuusei was surprisingly good natured for a gold, and that made him extraordinarily easy to deal with. Morgan thought about this as they watched the two youngsters, and finally they were given what would eventually be worked into an affirmative, or an okay, in tat-lung. The ring was already just barely picking such things up! "Alright you two, let's go." Morgan said as they carefully picked up the handle to the travel tank. They were going to go find the crystal!

Already the two youngsters appeared to be getting pretty tired. Morgan was planning on having them here for at least a few hours, but it was starting to look like they would be here an hour tops. The poor tats were quite young, after all, and Morgan did not want to over fatigue the little ones. "We'll just go pick up that crystal, and then be on the way out you two. I think both of you probably deserve a nap. It's been a long first day, right?" Morgan said. They refused to communicate with them like babies, and instead communicated with them in full sentences and in triplicate, but they were indeed still young and didn't have all the energy in the world. Morgan wanted to do things as quickly as possible, but there was some time at least. Morgan would just have to juggle time much better than they were at the moment. "Alrighty Pao, and..." Morgan just remembered that they hadn't come up with a name for the young crystal yet! Oh no... Morgan decided to name her after her tail fan, and confident personality that had been thus far shown to Morgan and everyone else about them.

Morgan chose the name carefully- "Ondori. Pao and Ondori." Morgan said, both pointing to each one, and spelling out the name as they said them in LSL. Morgan was careful to do such things while of course using the Ring to translate them into whatever it was that the tat-lungs could understand about Morgan using that. Morgan still wished that they knew exactly how the ring worked, but that was that it would seem it was doing. There was no denying that they could communicate with all of the tat lungs, regardless. Morgan took the pair with them, pulling along the travel tank after them. Morgan was thankful that they had worked on the travel tank for such a long time, it really was helping them altogether. Morgan eventually wanted to develop one that floated, but so far they weren't really trusting it with any of the tats, that was for certain. Especially not the young ones that it would be used with, that was for sure! The trio moved between the apple trees, in the direction that Morgan could feel that the crystal was in. They hoped that it wasn't too far away, they really didn't think the two tats could be there all day!
