Welcome to Gaia! ::

Marek looked at drake" i wonder if he got the D version?" Drake looked at him" lets hope so.....D was always the most stable.....most survivability..." Marek looked back at the hole in the wall"and the only one that had a high chance of permanent transformation" drake looked at him"i think you should go check" marek nodded" yeah, ill be right back" drake noticed that shiko was waking up" ahh...shiko welcome back to the living.." he tried to smile as best as he could.

Shiko rolled her eyes as she pushed herself up off the ground. "Shut up." She muttered, though without the usual venom she projected into her voice. "Where's Stilletto?" Shiko asked, standing up and brushing herself off. Sleeping on a pile of stray had been neither comfortable nor sanitary. "I had to get back to the RBA base." She said in a low voice, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. "Without me, there's no link between the Na'vi and the humans. Plus...I need to find Alice." Shiko's hands curled into fists. "She needs to pay."

Shiko raised an arm as if to punch the dragon. "You can't limit my actions!" She snapped angrily, then stopped as Marek came into the room. A puzzled expression crossed her face and she lowered her arm slowly. "What are you two blabbering about?" She asked crossly, quickly recovering. She'd seen odder things in life. "Of course this is going to take some time to get used to. He's a goddamn wolf on Pandora. No offense, but if he doesn't learn how to fight fast, a thanator is going to eat him whole!" She folded her arms across her chest in annoyance. "Clearly, Alice did NOT think this through." Hesitantly, she reached out a hand towards Stilleto but did not touch him.

"Don't know what?" Shiko asked in annoyance. "Of course I don't know, so tell me already!" When Marek began talking, Shiko's eyes narrowed, and the pupils slitted until they were positively cat-like. "Evolution 8?" She asked in a low voice, her hands curling into fists. "How many strands were there?" She asked, looking ready to fight or punch something. However, when Drake spoke, Shiko's mouth fell open, and all the fight went out of her. "What do you mean he's never changing back?" She shrieked, stomping her foot so hard the stone ground cracked. "He can't stay a wolf forever! He'll DIE out there within SECONDS!" Shiko looked like she was going to cry.

"Gee, you think? Living on Pandora as a wolf. I can't see how that would be hard." Shiko asked sarcastically. "Why is he just standing there?" She wondered off-handedly, but held her tongue. "Oh, so because Alice is at fault here, then the responsibility falls to me to take care of him?" She asked bitterly. It wasn't that she minded trying to help Stilletto, but she hated having to atone for Alice's mistakes. "He should be able to eat anything." She said after a minute. "Why wouldn't he? He's probably just not used to the new form; right now, he doesn't have hands. He's going to have to adjust to eating without them." Shiko opened her mouth as if to ask another question, then closed it and frowned. What the hell was that supposed to mean 'at least ease his pain'? She'd only known the man for, what, a day now. Shiko could hardly say she knew him. She sighed. "I am girl; I demand a separate room." She said wearily. Normally she wasn't at all bothered by bunking down with relatively unknown male Na'vi (and if needed, male soldiers), but this was different. Blushing, Shiko tried to appear collected. "I'll just talk to Vaine or something; I'm not like you, I'm not used to sleeping in a cave." She shook her head. "Not that I can think of, at least, not right now."

Shiko cheeks flushed not a bright red, but a startling soft blue. "S-shut up!" She snapped angrily. "Why on Earth would I want to share a room with someone?" She asked haughtily. "Especially someone I hardly know." Sure, Shiko was used to sharing a 'room' with male Na'vi, and if the situation demanded, she would sleep in the same room as a team of soldiers, but this was different. Somehow. Sighing, Shiko looked down at Stilletto's paws. "Well, prove me wrong." She said, sniffing. "They may not be paws exactly, but they sure as well aren't hands. You're still going to have to get used to operating without hands." She folded her arms impatiently. "Oh joy! Talking to Vaine. Did you know her name fits her perfectly?" Shik shook her head in disgust. "I can train him too you know. I'm not just a pretty face, as you should know." She curled her lip. "But whatever. I'll go talk to Vaine, and see if I can find an actual bed to sleep on." Shiko paused for a minute, thinking. "And a shower. I don't know about you, but in my world, there's nothing nicer than a warm bed and a clean shower." She wasn't trying to be prissy or uptight, but for Shiko, this was a new situation, and the only way that Shiko knew how to deal with new situations was sarcastically.

Shiko opened her mouth, and then shut it in annoyance. "Men! Stupid, stupid men!" She thought angrily, fiddling with the zipper on her white jacket before sighing and running after Marek and Stilletto, still slightly pissed at both of them, but not wanting to be left out of any excitement. As she fell into step behind Marek, Shiko shuddered slightly. Stilletto's new form is going to take some getting used to apparently. Oh, and yes. After this, she had to go talk to Vaine. The day was just getting better and better.
