Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alley walked in and over to Star smiling and then over to the other girl.
"Kari?" She asked.

Almost grudgingly, with a feeling as if he were forced to do so, Gregger padded his way into the bar. He was about to turn and leave when his eyes fell on someone he hadn't seen in a good while. Slowly, he crept up behind Zixen, before throwing an arm around her shoulders and squeezing her close. "ZIVY! How've you been?"

Once again, Gregger was cheerfully oblivious to Ziven's reaction to touch as he led the pair of them to a sofa. "Man, it sure has! But I've been decent, more or less," he said in an offhand voice as he settled himself down into a lounging position on the couch. "But enough about me; what about you? What crazy things have you been up to?" He peered over at her with those curious, emerald eyes of his, wondering if anything at all had happened with her.

With the slightest trace of a grin, Gregger said, "Oh, how riveting. What are you learning, by the way?" Halfheartedly he attempted to tuck a stray lock of his unruly hair behind one of his ears, only for it to pop right back out from behind it a second later. Completely unfazed, he answered her, "Mmh, two things, really. One being I ran out of a few paints today, meaning that my plans of finishing some pictures were trashed. And the second.. I'm not too sure. I just had this nagging voice in my head telling me I should pop by here and see what was up."

(( mrgreen ))

Pausing for just a moment to remember what exatly he was out of, he began to list the colors off to her, "Oh, what.. I'm out of white, red, black, all of my skin tones, and blue. Which makes it kind of tricky to give anything color right now." Practically bubbling with curiosity, Gregger probed her a bit further, "Ohh, like what?" Curling his legs up and under him, he turned to face Ziven and give her his full attention, eagerly awaiting her answer.

A tall young man opened the door to the main inn's biggest room. Quietly entering the young man held a few books in hand and seemed to be trying his best to stay out of the way. He had shoulder length black hair from lack of having his hair cut in some time, a devilishly handsome face and the same smooth tan skin tone as another more infamous member of the syndicate. The young man snuck over to the bar where he laid his books down and got a glass of water to drink downing it quickly. It was quite the long trek home but he was glad to be here. "I wonder what I've missed..." he said quietly to himself sitting down after refilling the glass, sipping this a little more slowly than before.

Lanshor felt the presence of another but cursed himself under his breath, He hadn't sensed her fast enough, not as fast as his father would have. "Hello Miss Ziven. You seem well" He said with a smile as he turned to greet her. "I take it my father dropped his ridiculous crusade against you? I surely hope so. That was the last thing I remember before departing for school." Lanshor asked. He was assuming since she seemed pretty well off and had no scars of being hurt. He figured if Yawgmoth were to harm someone as fragile as her then there would be obvious signs he'd taken what he proclaimed to want. "I..don't really want to see my father yet. He will not happy with the news I have to give."

Lanshor ducked his head and stared at the ground. When it came to self confidence he lacked somewhat. "You could say that" He said twiddling his thumbs slightly still looking at the ground. "It's good that mother decided to make him stop. I'm glad. I love my father but sometimes his mind track is....a bit off the normal and it seems to harm other people who are innocent. His conviction is odd to me, it always has been. And that is why I don't think I can tell him..I...I got kicked out of school... I'm not home for a break. Break wasn't for another week. I got kicked out earlier for fighting." Lanshor said with a sigh. "You see Miss Ziven. There were these two boys, older than me, stronger looking. Like my dad. Bullies both of them. They never bothered me but they bothered a friend of mine who was weaker than myself. I stood up for him one day, and they turned their attention to me. One day they decided to throw insults around and they threw them at my mother. Even though they don't know Crow, their words were what some people around here say about her that just isn't true. That she's a whore, that she's a filthy disgusting woman. I know my mother, I know my mother has only been with two men, A man named Malachi that she married before my dad, and of course, my dad. I...I." Lanshor trembled for a moment obviously upset at what he'd done. "I lost myself in this..anger, this blind feeling of rage. And I put them both in the hospital. I don't even remember what I did. I could've killed them I think. But I got kicked out for it. For harming those two boys."
