Russia, somewhere or another
Really, there were probably better things to be preoccupied than the way Feliks was scrutinizing her house elf. Then again, if they were ever going to leave the house, she really did need to get him to trust her.
As a not-so-distant relative of Lace's, Wanda was hers by right, even if she had ignored that fact for a long time after Lace's death. That did not change the distrust across Liks's face, nor did it stop the slight pain that still throbbed in her chest at the similarity of her and Lace's features. Wearing a simple little dress, the house elf looked like a small person, or, as far as Adrian was concerned, a new playmate. He was already at the edge of his play area, pudgy hands wrapped around the gate for support as he stared at the new creature, and attempted to talk her ear off. Half his words were unrecognizable, though Karma fancied she could understand most of it - or, well... half.
Glancing over at Liks again, she raised an eyebrow at him. "Do you have a better idea for a babysitter, or do you want to tell the higher ups no?" She shrugged, as if this was no big thing, the fluffy white hotel-esk robe wrapped around her body revealing the fact that she still needed to get the rest of the way ready. "I've already ordered her not to tell of where we are - Fedelius Charms go a long way - but if you want to order anything more... go on and do it already. I don't want to be late." Her narrowed eyes and displeased posture an easy mirror to his own, and disguising both the amusement and needless fretting she was doing internally.
No matter what she was saying, what she was selling, leaving Adrian alone with someone that wasn't Liks felt... wrong. Odd. It was irrational, and it once again made her think of the mental breakdown she was sure to have once he was away at school, but she pushed it away once more. She'd clear that hurtle when she got to it.
"Besides." She continued, shifting her weight slightly - the only tell on how much this was actually bothering her. "I was raised completely by a house elf, and I turned out pretty well, didn't I? He'll be fine for a few hours."
