Welcome to Gaia! ::

Clone had been glaring at the man until a fist had been swung. "Ah!" Clone jumped and cringed a bit when she saw the blood, biting her lower lip she tugged at Clayton's arm gently, her ears back. "L-let's go to the ducks instead..." She said, not wanting him to get in a fight on their first date.

Jin laughed as a surge of power went through him with those words. Yes that felt nice. He wrapped his arm around Luca's waist pulling him closer a bit. Seems the designer had forgotten about Nathan at least for now. He would make sure it would stay that way. "Mmmm nice to see we have some good chemistry." he purred out a little sensually in the others' ear. He waited for it to start he couldn't help but play with Luca's hair a little for a bit of course making sure to not mess it up. Hair was important! You did not mess up the hair! He liked having his touched as well provided you did not mess it up. Touching his tail gave him a rather sexual thrill, but he never let any one do it. It left him too out of control he was a control freak. He only allowed himself to vulnerable when that kind of canvas was necessary.

Pheobe let out a cry of delight and wrapped her arms around Derek, hugging him tightly. "That's WONDERFUL!" she said, not exactly aware that she was cheering for her demise in a sense. "Derek, I just remembered something! On my own!" she chirped, finally letting him go and beaming at him.

Jin was enjoying the show. The clothes were quite wonderful he had a little genius with him. How fun it was going to be when he tried to become Luca's muse. Jin made a point to show visual signs of enjoying the clothing without being overbearing. He had learned one thing about fashion, people will wear anything. This stuff was lovely and deserved to be worn it just took someone of immense fashion sense like himself to show an appreciation for the work. If others saw that he would wear the clothes and picked up on his confidence and pride his two major qualities people would be clamoring to wear it. Charity hm? He would have to remember that for later. "My my, you are wonderful artist with cloth." he told him words of pure passion said in deep earnest. There was no lighthearted edge here no it was meant to be a very deep moment to allude how much he was starting to like Luca. He let his hand drift down to the man's waist rubbing his hip slightly.

"Oh, yay~" Clone said happily, she looked at the ducks on the lake. "Hehe! They're so cute~" She said with a giggle, looking at a mother duck lead a little group of ducklings along. Her tail swished side to side as she looked back up at Clayton, still smiling.

Jin smiled brightly. "You will have to show me what else you have some time maybe. I'd love to see more of your work." he told him genuinely curious. He decided to stay quiet for the rest of the show. He kept rubbing Luca's hip every once in while rather absentmindedly. He did like Luca as much as he could like a person. He enjoyed being around him already. He had a bright pallet and it painted a rather pretty picture. Plus in the end there would not be any harm down. Jin actually hated to cause pain of any kind permanently unless the person liked pain. He hated to admit it but when you choose lovers it usually only brought the people closer in the end, what a strange thing love was. If Luca eventually saw through his ruse, he would just end up closer with Nathan most likely thus he had done his own little cupid act. No harm done in the end.

"Um..." He looked through his journal. "Ah... No, I don't know a Clara... But it says here Jeremy has a habit of picking up strays, both people and animals, so it could be a girl he found all by herself. He is your uncle, and Caleb's too-wait... Oh, he raised Caleb in his house since your parents rejected Caleb. Called him a moster-oh, Caleb gets most upset when he's called a monster. Jeremy isn't related to Caleb but calls him his nephew anyway because he's convinced you and he will get married in the end, something you never seem to mind Jeremy thinking but Caleb denies almost too over-zealously."

Since these were Derek's memories, they were of course also filled with Derek's insight and thoughts on the matter. He had a habit of just reading out loud anything relevant to the person's question, so he doesn't accidentally leave out an important detail.

"Jeremy, Jeremy... Ah, he is a healer, and is possibly the best in the world. But a terrible coward, running from the Order, which wishes to have him killed and no one seems to understand why except that Jeremy is a threat to the balance of the world. Your relationship with him... Your mother's brother. And you two are very close, maybe even closer than your parents. Jeremy cares about you more than most, and is the doctor of this academy."

Luca brightened up, and cuddled close to Jin as they watched the runway. When it came to the charity, it was revealed a big inspiration for this line was a woman that lost an arm to a shark while surfing, and continues to surf despite her now only having one arm. "Luca was so inspired by this young girl's determination for her dream," the announcer said, "That after he heard her struggle to find clothing that would fit for her handicap, such as needing long-sleeved coats in the winter but the second sleeve dangles awkwardly and keeps that side cold, he created a clothing line just for people like her, who wish to look as fantastic as they are, no matter how different they are on the outside."

Some people were actually crying as the announcer spoke, and Luca felt both embarrassed and prideful of their tears. "Truly, if everyone was as giving and considerate as our designer today, then it would be easier to find the inner beauty in anyone."
