Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nyx:
"You'll have to wait until it's done!" a neko-mimi maid replies.

Layla & Willow:
"We're making stew," Xiao replies. "It uses..."
She stops talking and bustles past Willow, starting to grab ingredients. She hands them to both Willow and Layla. Once she's done, she goes over to the pot in which she was boiling water when Layla first found her.
"Clinghid!" she says.
Willow is holding the requested spice.

Branwen:
The little anthro has already followed Nyx into the kitchen.

Branwen & Mazurn:
When you enter the room, you find that it's the kitchen. Inside are Layla, Willow, Nyx, the little anthro cat, and a neko-mimi in a maid uniform.

Layla:
Your character does not provide any info.

Checking thought the items in her arms, Willow managed to pass it to the maid "What sort of stew?"

Nyx:
"Xiao," the maid replies tersely.

Willow:
"Thank you," Xiao says as she sprinkles some of the spice into the water. "It's going to be eylil stew."
Upon hearing the name, you recognize it as a popular dish from the Grassland Kingdom, which is where you are. However, your character tells you that she doesn't really like it.

Layla:
Upon hearing what it is, your character immediately tells you that it's her favorite kind of stew and that Xiao makes the most amazing pot of it. This reaction leaves you very giddy.

"Okay." Mazurn said as he looked around for the dining table. "I honestly hope they have beer. That would be very nice."

I had watched the whole scene with Branwen and Mazurn and followed them towards the kitchen, stopping in the entryway to lean against the doorway. I had realized through the whole interaction between Branwen and Mazurn that I felt... strange.... It bothered me... It was like frustration and...longing? is that it? "Dammit..." I hiss under my breath. Was this jealousy? I decided to walk back into the main room to spend time by myself.

I chuckle lightly, sitting down at the dining table, doing my best to close the clothes tightly.
"That would be really nice...some sort of relaxant or pain killer..." I look at Mazurn with an expression of apology and slight guilt. I feel somewhat like I'm violating his clothes and making them filthy and he was so nice to lend them to me even though I did something somewhat stupid. I also see that he has his bandages more exposed than ever...and his...his skin...but why does he have them?
"Um...Mazurn? Why do you have so many bandages? Is it just part of the character design? Well...you don't have to tell me if it makes you uncomfortable. I'm sorry..."
In addition to feeling somewhat guilty about this, I feel like there is someone missing...someone I asked to walk along with me. Oh, Leina! Leina and Apollo. I look around slightly after lowering my head.
"Oh, Leina? Apollo?" I say in a somewhat low voice, intending to call out but perhaps with not enough volume.

Happy, warm thoughts of good food made me completely distracted from Mazurn's question... until it was too late. "Actually, I..." I turn around and say, only to realize that they were no longer there. I set down the ingredients I was handed and look at Xiao and give her a slight bow. "Please excuse me, I have to fetch my companion some clothes." I say pleasently, but in a voice that implies that I really didn't want to leave cooking duty. I walk to the dining room and look at Mazurn. "Actually, I can spare some..." I say, turning my gaze at the near naked girl with him. "Oh my gods! I think I have a bit of envy going on..." I say jokingly, crossing my arms over my chest as I noticed just how well endowed the girl is...

I nod at Mazurn with a shy smile as he walks away. At seeing Layla walk up to him and finally respond, a little hope enters into me, but then her comment makes my face a bright red tomato and I seem to condense myself into more of a ball shape in order to leave less of any opening in the garments. I rest my head on my breast as I pull my knees up close.
"Th...thank you...?" I say with great embarassment and great blushing, but then, of course, my ridiculous mind convinces itself that it's not true that I have a nice body.
"You...you shouldn't envy this. You're much skinnier...and much more pretty...and not as...gross...which is why I like having feathers to hide much of my body..." I involuntarily say to Layla, mostly mumbling, but then shake my head and become infuriated at my self-degradation.
"When you find clothes, Layla, do you think you can find something that might be able to accomodate my shape changing?"
