Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Alright. Fighting? O.o There hasn't been any fighting yet.... the time jump is going to be after the meeting that Arya is going to hold later this night. So..... I have no idea when there will be fighting. ))

Natasya blinked a bit, tilting her head a little, touching a finger to her lips, biting her lower lip a bit while she thought. "Hmmm, how to describe it? Our objective on Earth was to be seen as little as possible. But since we're here, we try not to cause too much trouble. True, if you engage a fairy's anger, then our more mischevious nature will come out with small pranks. We try not to do anything drastic, since we value life much like an Elf. Technically we aren't supposed to really talk about our people, but I'm already more of an outcast, so it doesn't matter on my account. The individual is often more important than everyone as a whole, though that is starting to change now since some of my brethren are growing thin and few." She sighed lightly, shrugging as she stretched. "Fairies are normally free folk too, so I'm an oddball case." She stuck out the tip of her tongue, chuckling a little. "Sorry if that wasn't exactly what you wanted for an answer. But it's part of our culture. What else?" She glanced over to the group that had returned, frowning as the marine shouted. Sighing lightly, she shook her head and turned her attention back to Sherad.

Jessica kept her expression, well, expressionless and impassive. Looking up to him calmly, she showed no sign of a reaction even as he bellowed at her. "I assure you that was not my intention. I apologize for the insult." She said softly after he had shouted, her eyes holding his gaze despite how high he was above her. "And you have insulted them. Do not call them Xenos." A bit of iciness had slipped into her voice, glancing down to Brother Raphiel. "My leaving was rather unexpected and in my excitement I failed to report. So yes, I am at fault. However, I'm not sure your hostile presence would have been so welcome. Few like being treated as such, with prejudice as strong as yours. And I'd rather not cause offense to someone here when we are guests. Not all are as patient as those that have greeted us I'm sure." She said calmly, looking back up to Brother Mathias. "But, forgive me for the insult Brother Mathias."

Arya glanced to Tanya, nodding to her as she watched the argument between humans, sighing to herself. She rose to her feet, walking over to Zera, hoping her presence would deter him from attacking Brother Mathias. She knew that Jessica was being rather brash with the Marine, frowning a little as she doubted that he would forgive so easily. Though she was known to be wrong..... on occasion.

Sherad glanced over at the human, though he simply shrugged and turned back to Natasya, seeng it as more of a couple's problem than one of his "Well, I am interested, why are you considered an outcast Natasya?" he asked, watching her with interest.

Brother Mathias scowled deeply, ignoring tha damoness that hovered above him "Your apology is accepted, but I will not allow you to simply waltz around with out at least two marines at your side!" he abated slightly, leaning back so he didn't seem like he was about to crush her with his anger. He pinched the bridge of his nose, exasperation apparent.
"If it is seen fit, I will not refer to them as xenos, but they are that to me!" he said with finality "I will surpress what prejudices I have, but my judgements will stand firm when they are formed...." he turned and walked away, helping Brother Raphiel up as reached him. He threw a look over his shoulder at her. His face was drawn and wrinkled, it looked as if he was older than his normal appearance spoke of.

Sherad smiled "Well, quirks are good in my opinion, I have many of them!" he laughed and stared at her "Though, I doubt yours are as odd as my own" he said with a mischevious smile, the challenge of outcast called.

Zera bared his many fangs and swished his tail, his dislike of the marine growing greatly with this little incidnet "He'sss ssstrong, but I think I could take him..." he said absently, clenching and unclenching his fist. He felt abnormally agressive, maybe it was visiting his homeland, or the unease the marine instilled in everyone around him that wasn't human.

Kai placed his hand on Zera's other shoulder and sent warmth to envolope him. "Peace, Zera. The humans had the same problem last time." he spoke quietly, to keep the researchers from hearing. "These humans have always had trouble excepting that which they do not know... In time things will change." Kai stated, keeping up the warmth that he knew would soothe Zera. He knew that part of his uneasy was having had to return to his homeland.

Kai continued to keep the surrounding air warm to give Zera a chance to relax and cool off. He turned to Arya and raised an eyebrow sending a telepathic message. 'I hope that this news of yours helps our situation... Otherwise I don't know how long we can keep the two sides from fighting.' He stretched as some of the researchers spotted them and started heading over their way.

Well that was a reaction Natasya hadn't quite expected, though she didn't show this one bit. She raised an eyebrow at what he said, nodding a little. "I can only eat some meat. Not that many though." She chuckled a little, brushing her hair back again. "I.... " She had to pause to think of another thing that was odd about her, after all, she didn't want to say some things. "I don't like nuts of any sort. Many of my kind love them, but I can't stand it." She knew it was a small thing, but it was still a quirk.

Arya let her hand fall to her side, frowning a little as she watched him with a light sigh. She could tell he didn't like being here and it was simply his sense of duty that bound him here. She looked to Kai, stifling a yawn, knowing he was going to comment about her needing to sleep. Well, eventually at least.

(( Wait, whom is Tanya talking to? o.o Arya or? ))

Arya looked up to Tanya, sighing lightly. "We have a meeting later today by the way Tanya." She said softly, not quite sure how to answer her question. "We've been excessively busy with research. Sorry we're not more interesting." She answered, sighing lightly as she knew the demoness was impatient. She was tired and could barely think of how to answer normal questions coherantly. Anything extensive related to what she had been doing before, and it would roll easily off her tongue. "Forgive me. They've been driving me into the ground."

(( I believe you are still with us. We've all just regrouped is all. ))
