Welcome to Gaia! ::

I quickly find a spot to sit down to begin eating.

Willow:
The book is a detailed history of the world itself, but it has a major emphasis on the world following the discovery of The Labyrinth and the impact that its discovery had on the Four Earthly Kingdom. To summarize: the Snow Kingdom found The Labyrinth beneath the last remaining building of the fallen Ocean Kingdom, which began a "power race" among the Kingdoms in which each one tried to form the most competent team of explorers in order to find the legendary "Core." The Snow Kingdom's top researchers had found a library in the castle above The Labyrinth, in which they found a single document on it: the Ocean Kingdom had discovered "The Core," or "Zee Gulbakh" in Oceanic, and immediately sealed The Labyrinth, so that no one would disturb it. Since the fall of the Ocean Kingdom, the Earthly Kingdoms have been trying to understand the mystery behind the Ocean Kingdom's fear of "Zee Gulbakh."

Leina:
It is a meat stew.

Layla:
Xiao looks at you excitedly.
"Oh, I would love that!" she says, taking your hands in hers.

I blink at Mazurn's response, then smile and take a breath to repeat myself.
"Should I change yet since I've eaten and used my lips already, which is one of the main reasons to be in human form, or should I just stay a human the rest of the day and change mostly when I need to? Being a human is easier for eating things without getting a big 'ol beak in the way of the simple tasks for human mouths: eating and drinking, and..." I slightly blush and lower my head as I think of a particular thing that involves lips of two people, "...and...smiling I suppose. Bird smiles don't have teeth, so they aren't as sweet, hee hee. I just feel like...I'm...boring as a person,"

ninja "I think you should wait. Atleast see it til tomorrow as a human." Mazurn said as he started to finish up the stew. He took a good stretch and started get up and walk over to the hostess's chair, looking at it a bit before sitting in it in a sloppy fashion.

I look at Mazurn with a look of amusement. I didn't mind that much, seeing as I couldn't really sit with Xiao if I was sitting there anyways. I start eating again, shaking off a bit of my worries, thanks to my happiness of having some close to eat with, and Mazurn's silliness.

Willow:
In the west wing, you find three rooms. All of the doors are closed. However, should you choose to turn each knob, none of them are locked.

I walk up over to Leina and say, "I'm glad you went to comfort that boy. That was very kind and thoughtful of you." I smile, then walk over to Mazurn and cross my arms, shaking my head with a smile.
"Such horrible manners!" I say with a grin, then pull him up out of the chair and sit up straight in his place.
"This is how you sit in a chair!" I giggle, knowing that I tried to make it look like I was going to make him stop for sitting in the hostess' chair. I stand up again.
"Now you know," I chuckle, "but Layla is indeed doing a kind deed for us. How about we explore the rest of the house and see what other wonders await us...like possible rooms for us?" I say with an excited smile. Mostly I didn't want to be in such a big place alone, but also...I wanted someone like him to go with me...

I had turned to look at Branwen with a somewhat confused expression as she had snuck up on me and I didn't hear half of what she said, but I finally caught on and let out a small, somewhat embarrassed-like smile. "It's...nothing..." I respond softly as she walks away and I return to eating my food silently.
