Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zillah was not a fan of crowds. They were loud, pushy, and filled with far too many people. But she knew her twin was here. All of this ruckus had to do with the new Grimm taking the Grimm kids away, and Amy was on of the Grimm kids. There was no way her brother was going to be anywhere else. But it was hard to find people in a crowd.

Amy made it easier than Zillah theorized, though, by yelling out at someone about trials. Ah. Where there was an Amy, there was an Iah. Zillah started pushing through the crowd towards the Grimm.

The boy wasn't sure.

Lacking eyesight did help in some areas; it strengthened your other senses due to a need to rely on them more, and the boy has a tone that clearly said 'I don't know'. Even when the female voice piqued up she wasn't reassured. She was about to respond, about to question and perhaps recoil when she heard movement and the boy snapped. An ear flicked, and the blind Grimm maneuvered closer, doing her best to kneel down.

"Hey," She offered, a smile touching her features. The boy sounded afraid, or perhaps overwhelmed. Something. Her tail swished behind her, hand reaching out to touch the boys shoulder.

"We're scared, and I bet this is scary for you, isn't it?" This boy had lived his entire life in one area, believing Grimm were gone. Like them. Yet, he had a chance to reconnect, and she could sympathize. Everyone was shouting and crying out questions and he was just one person. One Grimm. He couldn't answer them all. Almost no one could. An ear flicked as she removed her hand, leaning back.

"Maybe we should slow our questions down? Give them a break? They must be exhausted." She called to the crowd, standing up and grabbing her stick once more.

He didn't like this. He hadn't since the beginning, and now Myles' answers kept getting worse and worse. The inability to answer if he could return home left a sour and sick feeling in his stomach. All he had wanted was a chance to understand, and yet it might come with a heavy consequence. Anger almost lurked deep within, biting at his fear here and there. He had waited his whole life for this? Really? Seriously? Just to be told he needed to choose? What if he didn't want to? What if he couldn't?

He wanted to scream. He felt trapped where he was, as if he couldn't move. If he ran away he'd be abandoning the chance to finally know. If he stayed he might abandon the only family he knew. There wasn't a right answer. There couldn't be. He needed to make a choice.

Could he give up his dream of knowing about himself?

Watching Myles panic only sent his own fear skyrocketing. Even the one with the answers was afraid. He stepped backwards, ears pinned back. What was the right answer? Would Yue forgive him if he left? Keegan? Himself? His heart pounded, echoing within his ears and deafening the sound of voices and movement. He almost forgot about the freshling before him, until someone approached. His heart stopped, and suddenly a flood of emotions ran through him.

Keegan.

A confusing rush of relief and absolute joy filled him, and he shoved it aside quickly. He didn't have time to ponder why he felt this way. All he knew was Keegan was here, and he carried Kobe. His eyes flicked to spot Crispin, and for a second he felt safe. His people. He glanced back down at the pink freshling before finally inhaling sharply, calming his heartbeat for now.

"They want to take us." He abruptly snapped, unable to hold back the need to have someone understand. "They might not let us come home. We might be stuck. T-they might not give us a choice."

I won't reply again with him until Keegan pops out, so we don't get consistency errors!

Kobe's head snapped to look at Tobias, "W-what?... They... are just gonna take us? But what if we l-like it here... I dont wanna be taken.." Kobe whined as his ears folded and his tail retreated into a more fearful position. He had thought that Myles was just there for information, not to just take them by forced. A sense of fear rose in him, even with his strong packmate with him. He looked to Crispin, scared for what will happen to all of them. He curled into Keegan, looking back to Tobias. "..I-I... don't wanna be forced... to go." He told them. "Keekee w-won't let 'em...right?" He asked Keegan.

Coloring for math was fun, but this was even more fun when something big is happening! Holding her hand tightly, he push through to stay close to her in the crowd. Especially when he has a habit of going off on his own at times. "What's going on here?" He can hear people speaking about things about the Grimm and a . . . pixie? Or was it Nixie? Chatters and rumors are terrible here.

Finally they were at the courtyard after squeezing through and staring at the fountain where in the water. "Hmm . . ." He was curious, and interested to know more. He looks over at Pepper as she manage to ask a question about the shaman and also to the Nixies, nodding along in wanting to know more as he looks at the girl with the fins. "I wonder how those feel like . . ." It was his childish curiosity in wondering how those fins feel like but he has to behave in this situation they're in.

The answer from the Grimm sounds interesting. "Umm . . ." Auren raise his hand as if he was in school, but then he saw how the Grimm snapped and went quiet, putting his hand down. "What if there's more than one person who's good in magic? Won't there be some test?" It was more of a curious question of his more than anything really, hoping that they won't be so upset for asking since it seems that way. He frowns over to Pepper and looking back at everyone again, especially the older Grimms talking.

Melisara had meant it as an even compromise, and had hoped that it might ease the pain and calm the crowd. But it appeared that she had only succeeded in making Myles upset. That had not been her intent at all. She bit her lip and got to her feet. She owed Myles an apology. The blind Grimm had already knelt in front of him to offer her support, so Melisara simply sat next to him on the fountain's lip and patted his hand. "Ah'm sorry, Mahles. Ah didn't mean t' make yah upset." Then, because she felt that something needed to be added, "We all need a little tahm to adjust, Ah think. Ah don't think Kestrel really thought things through as much as he needed to." That sounded harsh, now that she thought about it. She made a face. "What Ah mean is, it's a complicated matter, an' it ain't gonna be solved overnahght bah a dramatic entrance."

She actually did have a solution to the shaman problem, though, and it was a solution she thought Kestrel might like. But she sensed that now was maybe not the time to mention it. "Ah still lahk mah ahdea," she said. "But Ah'll think about ways t' improve it."

With two people comforting Myles already, Melisara looked around for something else. Her eyes caught the odd-eyed Grimm who seemed so nervous. She got to her feet and walked over to him to put an arm around his shoulder. She didn't know what to say, so she said nothing, merely giving his shoulders a squeeze.

She saw Kobe return with another Grimm. She waved at them. It looked like Kobe was a member of a group over there, and the orange Grimm they stood with looked as nervous as the one she was hugging. Then Kobe was taken care of. Good. She smiled at them all, and at the tiny pink Litch at their side.

Having been going back to his room, Lazarus managed to pass the fountain and noticed the huge commotion that was brewing faster than anyone could of predicted. What was going on? And... and was that a grimm on the fountain? Who was he hugging? What kind of nightmare was that?

A curious type, Lazarus decided to watch and see what was going on, wondering why so many of his fellow school mates seemed so upset. Why were there so many grimm in one spot? Why was everyone asking this one grimm and other nightmare with him so many weird questions? They didn't make any sense until he started to try and piece them together.

Wait... was someone trying to take the grimm children away? Was this like adoption of all them, or just trying to take them? Had a grimm tribe found out about the soulstones down here and wanted to take them? There were so many questions going on in his mind, but he was sure they had already been answered, and the grimm in question didn't seem to be in much of an answering mood at the moment.

It was strange how empty the halls were. How quiet everything was but to the Grimm it just must of been a strange morning. Keegan had gone blissfully unaware of what was happening just outside of the building. Tiny frantic footsteps soon alerted his ears and quickly he turned to see one of his pack mates. Kobe often came running and calling out for Keegan, but the sense of urgency the freshling had today was heightened. The tiny pale Grimm crashing into him and then scurrying up him like a bean pole and going on about some new people. Keegan couldn’t quite put together what was going on. “People are here to take the Grimms?” He repeated, mostly confused by it all. It truly sounded like the wild imagination of a freshling, but being the protective sort he figured something was going on and wanted to scope out the situation. Keegan and Kobe now made their way swiftly towards the main gates of the school. His brows furrowed as he opened the doors to find such a crowd of people around. He had to push his way through; being a junior now definitely helped.

He caught site of Tobias and as always strange emotions rushed over him, but on top of that the look on his packmate’s face was distraught sending him big red flags. Again he was being told about they were going to be taken away. The fur on his arms stood on ends as he stayed quiet. His fierce red eyes just trying to detect what the source of the problem was. He spotted the very tribal looking Grimms and then the strange aquatic looking characters next to them. “I don’t know what’s happening, but I know we will stay together and we will be staying here. We are a pack and not even fellow Grimm can break what we have.” He looked to Tobias again, then the twins and took in a deep breath. Now if ever he needed to be level headed and strong for the people around him. Keegan stepped in closer to Tobi and pressed his forehead against the taller male’s. The large paw wrapping around and holding him close as he spoke. “I’m glad you’re safe and I plan on keeping it that way.” A soft gaze locked the two of them together for just a moment before Keegan pulled back and stood tall.
