Welcome to Gaia! ::

Albaine: No.

Nek: *Stabs Neko* Let's leave it as missed, shall we?

Albaine: *waves at Nek* Hello.

Nek: *Waves back* Long time no see

----------------------------

Byrnar: *Sits down in the woods, all alone* <;3;>

Treasure: *Twirling around with a bottle of rum in each hand and another under her arm* Happy Drinking Day to all! Wheee~ *For once has exceeded her tolerance level and is actually drunk* Hey! You! You need a drink! *Shoves a bottle at Byrnar* It's Happy Drinking Day! DRINK! AND BE HAPPY! 'CAUSE IT'S HAPPY DRINKING HAPPY DAY! *Waltzes off with the rest of her rum into the forest*

Savvy: *Comes running along and stops to pant and look at Byrnar and his newly acquired bottle of rum* Did a tall, drunken seagreen Namir wit' long grey hair give ye that? *Shakes her head* Nevermind, I already knows th' answer *Straightens herself and dashes off again* Mama! Yer s'pose te let me 'ave some! Ye've 'ad enough fer ten sailors already!

Byrnar: *Left to his lonesome again* >.> *Looks down at the rum* >3> *Pops the cork and takes a swig* <;3;> Nek? *Takes another long gulp and hicups* Neky~

----------------------------

Nek: I have the nagging feeling someone I once knew is here now, but I missed a lot because it was so cold... *Refuses to elaborate on the fact that she was basically sleeping(hibernating) the whole winter without a choice, instead of purposefully avoiding venturing into the cold* You?

Byrnar: *Starts wandering again, halfdragging his bottle as he walks* Neky-poo~?

Albaine: *nods* You're right, Byrnar arrived here at some point. Not sure when. *spots Byrnar* ...

Nek: *Looks only half-way surprised* Byrnar? We-

Byrnar: *Looks up at hearing his name and sees Nek* NEKY-POO!!! *Dives across the clearing to tackle her*

Nek: GAH! *Gets startled at hearing her 'nickname' shouted and falls down, causing Byrnar to miss*

Byrnar: *Crashes into a tree and sits up, shaking his head a moment before turning around and latching onto Nek's hip like a child* NEKY-POO! I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU!!!

Nek: *Twitches* You've been drinking...

Albaine: *waves a bit, and spies the bottle of rum* ....huh. *wonders if the same person gave Byrnar the rum*

Byrnar: I've been looking for you for so long! *Lifts Nek up as he gets to his feet, setting her back on hers and hugging her* I couldn't find you and I thought you didn't like me anymore so I got sad but now I've found you! *Notices Albaine* YOU'RE WITH ANOTHER MAN?!?!?! *Drops to his knees and clings to her hips again* But-but-but! <;3;> *Jumps to his feet and points at Albaine* Then I shall have to challenge you to a duel! *Looks about* Where are the dresses?! I cannot fight as Nek's woman without a dress! <;3;>

Nek: *Slowly turning deep purple with embarassment*

Albaine: *blinks* Whoa, whoa, wait. We're not together. And...dresses? What? *rather confused*

Byrnar: *Whips off Nek's belt and takes off his tunic, revealing the embroidered leather armor underneath* You deny it? IT'S A CLOSET AFFAIR?! *Uses the belt to secure his tunic around his waist like a skirt, pulling off a tavern wench style dress* I shall fight you for my Love! My womanhood will prove my love! En guard! *Dives at Albaine*

Nek: *Too embarassed to do anything* This is... Not happening...

Albaine: *teleports a few feet away, shaking his head* This is ridiculous...I'm not fighting you. There's no point in it.

Byrnar: A forfeit?! But that would be dishonorable! Do you wish to slander Nek's good name?! *Adjusts his dress and shifts his weight to one foot while putting his hands on his hips and puffing out his chest* I shall not stand for it! *Gets dizzy and falls over* <@.@> *Gets confused, then crawls to Nek's feet and clings to them* Neky-poo~ I love you~

Nek: Can I die now?

Albaine: ... *would argue the point but doesn't want to remind Byrnar of his incorrect assumption and kinda just stands there not even amused by the lovey-dovey Byrnar anymore*

Byrnar: *Has forgotten all about Albaine* I wuv joo~ *Snuggles up to Nek's feet and sees Albaine again* Oh! Hi! Hi~~~ *Falls asleep*

Nek: GAH!!! *Throttles Byrnar in his sleep*

Byrnar: *Grinning like an idiot as he's being throttled, asleep*

Nek: *Removes her feet from his grasp* I'm going to kill whoever gave him alcohol <=.=>

Albaine: *gestures to the rum bottle* It might be that same person from last time.

Albaine: *walks into the clearing*

Evan: *sitting beneath a tree* Hey Dad! *waves*

Albaine: *smiles a bit waves* Hello. *walks over to him*

Shino: *Lets out a mighty yawn as she trots out, her clothes covered in dirt*

Evan: *notices Shino* Hi Shino! *waves*

Albaine: *waves* Recently went exploring?

Shino: Hm? *Grins at the two* Oh hey guys! Yeah *Looks down at herself* Found a dirt hill and I couldn't resist playing on it

Albaine: Ah. *nods and remarks to himself that kids don't always grow out of things*

Evan: So how're you? =3

Shino: I've been alright I guess *Frowns* I'm kind of missing my brother... What about you two?

Evan: I'm good. =3 *tilts his head* Maybe you should go visit him?

Albaine: Do you know where he is?

Shino: *Shakes her head* I should probably ask daddi about where he's living.

Evan: Sounds like a good idea. 3nodding

Albaine: *wonders if most families don't know where immediate members live, and discards the thought as Namiah is hardly normal and he wouldn't know normal family if it smacked him in the face*

Shino: *Looks to Evan* Been on any grand adventures lately?

Evan: I found a cave the other day. biggrin Nothing too interesting inside though. *sounds slightly disappointed*

Albaine: Hopefully it wasn't someone's home.

Evan: *shakes his head* It wasn't. *could tell from scent*

Shino: You ever show Albaine that mirror we found?

Albaine: Mirror?

Evan: Oh! I forgot. ^^; *at Albaine* I'll show it to you when we get home.

Shino: We found it in a rabbit hole, well, Evan found it.

Albaine: Down a rabbit hole? Reminds me of that story.

Evan: We found a page from the book in there too.

Albaine: *amused* Really? Wow.

Shino: Yep *Nods* I thought that was strange, and very neat

Albaine: It is neat. Almost seems like somebody did it on purpose.

Evan: I wonder why they would do it on purpose...think they thought somebody'd find it?

Shino: Could be *frowns a little at the thought* Could all be a prank

Evan: That wouldn't be very fun...

Albaine: *shrugs* Coincidence or intentional, finding that page in a rabbit hole is still funny.

Albaine: *wanders out*

Ryo: *Hanging upside down from a tree branch by his knees. Casually waves at Albaine*

Albaine: *waves back, wondering why Ryo is upside down* Hello.

Ryo: Out for an evening stroll?

Albaine: Pretty much. You?

Ryo: Oh, I'm just hanging around

Albaine: *nods* I figured.

Ryo: How's Evan?

Albaine: He's good. Running around here somewhere, I think.

Ryo: *Chuckles* As kids do... and adults as Shino's proven *Wonders where his daughter's at now*

Albaine: At least they're not watching television all day.

Ryo: Unless explosions were involved, Shino didn't care for TV. She mostly spent her time with Evan and you, or Nyo

Albaine: Evan liked to watch the occasional movie as a kit, but even then he prefered to be outside.

Ryo: *Reaches up to grab the branch and flip himself off it. Lifting his hand to his head while closing his eyes to fight of a dizzy spell* One would be forever bumming if they didn't like the outside here

Albaine: I think it would be a little amusing to see one of those celebrities who dislike the outdoors get sent here. Well, so long as I don't have to deal with them.

Ryo: They'd get annoying real quick *Looks around, as if thinking* I'm not sure where I'd hide the bodies...

Albaine: *amused* Might be hard to find a place on this island. Could bury them, but if any namir likes digging they'd turn up eventually.

Ryo: *Strokes his chin and humms* I could strike up a deal with the zombies of the island

Albaine: Better hope it's a male celebrity then, the women wouldn't be worth the effort.

Ryo: Because most weigh less than a toothpick?

Albaine: Exactly.

Ryo: I wouldn't have to worry about them, with how scrawny they are, they'd waste away in no time

Albaine: They probably would.

Ryo: *Nods* Lets hope it never comes to such a thing

Albaine: I doubt it would.

Ryo: You never know....

Albaine: *sighs* I'm not killing anyone, and I want nothing more to do with death. *thinks back to the previous comments, realizing that Ryo's probably not talking about death* Though the celebrity thing might happen. I'd hope not.

Ryo: *Arches a brow at Albaine's statement, but decides not to question it* I think the island needs to come up with an annual event. For the Namrah, not for the humans like all that other stuff.

Albaine: Something for namrah to look forward to that'd break up the monotony? Sounds like a decent idea.

Ryo: *Nods* Something like... a circus or carnival. *Stuffs his hands in his pockets as he thinks it over and how it'd work*

Albaine: *ponders* I'm not even sure how to go about setting those things up. Nice thing about a carnival is that they'll probably set themselves up as long as you set a date and get enough people interested in making a stand with a game of some sort. *knows absolutely nothing about circuses*

Ryo: Carnival would probably be easier as I really don't know where they'd find the talent needed for a circus. It may be an idea worth running by the humans... and if they don't do anything, it may be easy enough to put on with some interested Namrah.

Albaine: *nods* I doubt it'd be hard to set up a carnival. Compared to a circus at least.

Ryo: I think I'll look into it *Looks to Albaine* Interested if I get it going?

Albaine: *nods* I wouldn't mind helping out.

Ryo: *Tilts his head back to look up at the sky* The new batch of kits would like it, I imagine

Albaine: Most likely. They'd probably run from stand to stand and tire themselves out.

Ryo: Hmm, I don't think parents would complain

Albaine: Me neither. A lot of them would probably enjoy the carnival as much as the kids.

Albaine: *wanders out* ...where'd all the kits come from? *didn't know there was a breeding recently*

Ish: *Pops out of a bush by Albaine* You see Albaine, when a man and woman love each other, they do something that's called the nasty, and that makes babies 8D

Albaine: *looks down at Ish* ...? Oh, you're that teen. *had almost completely forgotten about him*

Ish: Yes, I'm that teen >83

Albaine: *hopes that Ish had found something better to do and is just bothering him today out of boredom* Hm.

Ish: You get laid yet?

Albaine: *debates whether saying yes in reference to the wine incident will be more likely to get Ish to leave him alone or would just encourage him to stick around now that he doesn't have to look* ...what, are you still looking?

Ish: Everybody kept saying no *Shrugs* So I've gone online >83

Albaine: *decides to evade the question as Ish gave him the opportunity to* Online? How's that supposed to work? *knows nothing of cybering or dating sites*

Ish: I stick up some info on you and see if any sexy ladies want you =D

Albaine: ...what exactly did you write? *doesn't like the idea of strangers knowing anything about him*

Ish: That you're a sexy and lonely stud that's looking for many lays!

Albaine: *glad it has nothing personal* I don't think I'd want anything to do with anyone who'd respond to something like that.

Ish: Oh there've been hundreds of responses... mostlyfrommen

Albaine: Men? Yeah, I don't want to have sex with men. Or random strangers I don't know.

Ish: Have you ever done it with a man?

Albaine: *shakes his head* No.

Ish: Then how can you know that you don't like?

Albaine: ...I don't find men attractive and the thought of it sickens me? That enough evidence?

Ish: *Shrugs* That just means you haven't met a guy that you found attractive enough to the dirty with. It's the same for guys that haven't found a girl they're attracted to o3o

Albaine: In that case I must be ridiculously picky when it comes to guys.

Ish: That's because they don't have boobs, so you have to rely on their personality more =3

Albaine: *shrugs* I don't date anyone unless I like their personality.

Ish: How many people have you dated?

Albaine: Just one. *not going to get into any more detail than that*

Ish: Uh huh, and how many girls have you met?

Albaine: *thinks, counting all the ones he's had more than one pleasant conversation with* About 5 or 6, just counting the ones that I've spoken to on several occasions. For girls that I only spoke to once and never saw again? Too many to count.

Ish: I mean all together, in your life. Not while here on the island.

Albaine: ...I was counting that.

Ish: No wonder you don't get laid often! *Waves a paw in the air* And how many men have met?

Albaine: *doesn't think the number of people he knows has anything to do with him getting laid* 2, maybe 3.

Ish: So about half the amount of woman you know. *Tilts his head* How do you know that you just haven't met a guy with the personality you go for yet?

Albaine: *can't think of a way to argue against that, but is in no way about to admit defeat and encourage Ish to find a guy for him* I don't want to date a guy, isn't that reason enough?

Ish: Do you want to date a girl?

Albaine: *feels like this is some sort of trap* I wouldn't mind if the girl had the right personality. I'm not looking though.

Ish: Aka, you don't want to date right now, otherwise you would be looking. *Wags a finger in the air* And you keep mentioning personality, if you really value personality over looks, then gender doesn't matter either way.

Albaine: *has no argument towards this, and finds that rather unnerving* ... *shakes his head, sort of realizing the only reason he wouldn't date a guy and unintentionally hinting at it with past tense* Maybe it wouldn't. I still rather not date a guy though.

Ish: *Smirks as he thinks his points been proven* Love's love dude, if it comes by you, don't let it pass just because it's coming from someone you'd feel uncomfortable being with at first. cool

Albaine: *feels annoyed at the implication that this love is definitely going to come from a guy, but doesn't feel like talking to Ish anymore lest he somehow draw together seemingly logical evidence for Albaine being gay* Whatever. Bye. *wanders off*

Takashi: *Helped himself to a slice of pizza to chase down the lolly*

Albaine: *wanders into the clearing wearing sneakers, jeans, a t-shirt, and a cap to shade his eyes from the sun*

Takashi: *Finishes off the pizza before looking over the clearing, eying the normal sized Namrah and Albaine, who he thinks is the same guy he saw last night*

Albaine: *notices the same guy looking at him, raising an eyebrow*

Takashi: *Figures he should start socializing with the locals, so lifts a hand and waves*

Albaine: *waves back*

Takashi: *Debates if he should walk over or not* What the hell *Tucks his hands in his pockets to walk over and socialize* Hey, I'm new to the place

Albaine: I figured. Few days, a week? Less than that? *doesn't really care, but doesn't have much else to say*

Takashi: Few days *Crosses his arms* What about you? Once human/thing kind of deal, or did you pop a magic berry to become a real boy?

Albaine: Human once. I arrived here about a year ago.

*pushes his Anthro towards the other anthros*

Demonite: o.O ... why am I being pushed about?!

Takashi: Been here that long huh? *Looks up at the arrival of Demonite, quirks a brow as he eyes the wings*

Demonite: *being stared at..his wings quiver alittle in nervousness* ...uhm... Hi ^_^;;

Albaine: *nods* Yep. *looks over at Demonite, frowning a bit as he thinks he recognizes him but isn't quite sure* ...? Hello.

Takashi: Ever try to leave? *Scratches the back of his neck* And, hey

Albaine: Not really. No clue where to go, and I didn't want to go back where I came from. *raises an eyebrow as Demonite leaves* ...yeah. *still a little unnerved when that happens*

Takashi: *Stares at Demonite and where he once was* Right.... *Shakes his head since he can't really say anything he's prone to vanishing himself.* You die?

Albaine: *blinks, the question a bit unexpected* Well, yeah...

Takashi: Huh... Did it hurt? *Is trying to find if he died himself, or not. But has no idea how he'd be able to tell*

Albaine: *nods, trying not to actually recall it* Yeah, it did.

Takashi: Huh *Crosses his arms, going off into his own little world as he thinks back to what he can remember. Can't really recall any pain*

Albaine: Trying to figure out how you got here?

Takashi: *Shrugs* Yeah. The thought that I could have die, well, it's disconcerting.

Albaine: *nods* It's hard to come to terms with an unknown possibility.

Takashi: *Nods* So is the possibility of being trapped in the place.. forever *Twitches at the thought. Really, it felt like a grand prison.*

Albaine: It is a little weird staying in one place after travelling for so long. *doesn't really mind*

Takashi: I don't like *Scowls, since being trapped in one place would mean he'd have to change his ways or else risk inciting major problems in the near future*

Albaine: *knows precisely why, but won't let on* I can tell.

Takashi: *Sulks* How'd you adjust?

Albaine: I just got used to having ears and a tail. Adjusting to the new people, the new environment, and not being able to leave? *thinks, shrugging after a moment* Not really sure. Probably happened while I was preoccupied with other things.

Takashi: *Always had his ears and tails, so got lucky there.* What's your opinion of the place?

Albaine: Quiet, most of the time. The humans around here are annoying, if you hadn't noticed already.

Takashi: I've noticed *Thinks of Ishie always stealing his jacket... yes he can see the irony* What's it like when it's not quiet?

Albaine: Unquiet, obviously. *decides to explain* Randomly this area will be filled with more namrah than usually. This usually happens during a human event or after a bunch of kits have been born. If you don't mind crowds it's no problem, otherwise you'll just have to wait until later for things to quiet down.

Takashi: These Namrah... do they have breeding season? Like other animals?

Albaine: Sort of...doesn't seem to have any psychological effect on them, it's just that litters are all born around the same time.

Takashi: *Grumbles something about animals in heat. Will probably go into hiding when it seems like baby making season is hitting*

Albaine: *shrugs* I thought the same thing.

Takashi: Uh huh *Stares at Albaine* ..You fall victim to it?

Albaine: *shakes his head* Nope. Only way I'd know that there even was one would by the the kits all suspiciously the same age, the only exceptions being those who actually aren't related to the parents who are taking care of them.

Takashi: Adopted orphans, or victims for a kidnapping?

Albaine: *shrugs* The namrah themselves certainly didn't kidnap them, with perhaps a few exceptions. As for where the eggs come from originally, or how they get here? I don't really know. Maybe the same way other namrah arrive here who aren't born on the island.

Takashi: Through death?

Albaine: *doesn't really want to think that Evan could have died to come here like himself* ...maybe. But not all namrah come here through death.

Takashi: Who here knows most about the island? Is there someone in charge?

Albaine: The humans would know, not that I think you could trust any of the information they give you.

Takashi: Well, is there a top human?

Nek: *Scowls and walks more normally, which isn't that much less agressive*

Albaine: *thinks* Um...I think so. I forget who it was though. *spots Nek and waves*

Nek: *Spies Albaine and waves back, unsure whether to approach since he seems to be talking to someone*

Takashi: Guess I'll have to find out on my own *Looks over to Nek* I'll take that as my cue to leave *Steps back until he's immersed in the darkness of the woods, his foot steps silent.*

Albaine: Bye. *wanders over to Nek* How're you?

Nek: *Looks a little confused as Albaine wanders over* Did I scare him away?

Albaine: Might've. I think he was about to leave soon anyway.

Nek: Okay *Blinks and shrugs* So what's new?

Albaine: Not much. I ran into that annoying teen a couple of days ago, I'd nearly forgotten he existed. Aside from that everything's about the same. You?

Nek: The one who keeps trying to set people up? *Twitches her tail* I finally lost Byrnar, well, he fell asleep so I left *Looks at the mountain* I should probably try to get home before he wakes up and comes looking for me *Shrugs*

Albaine: *leaves the Byrnar comment alone* Yes, that one. I'm surprised he hasn't moved on to asking plants or objects...or maybe he has and gave up with them too.

Nek: He has determination, I'll give him that <-,->

Albaine: Pointless determination. I wouldn't sleep with anyone who'd agree to do so upon being asked by a teen.

Nek: *Arches a brow* I would not sleep with anyone...

Albaine: That's the point. I wouldn't know them, and honestly if they agreed to such a thing I wouldn't want to know them.

Nek: Uh, yes, that's what I was trying to say...

Albaine: *nods* Oh, I'm not arguing with you. It'd be strange to argue with someone who has the same opinion as you.

Nek: Very strange...

Albaine: Probably irritating too if you were watching an argument like that.

Nek: Very <-.->

Albaine: *searches for a topic* Ever had ice cream?

Nek: No What's it like? Just cream with ice in it?

Albaine: It's a cold desert made with cream, ice, sugar...it's not bad.

Nek: Hmmm, that sounds interesting

Albaine: *nods* I'll bring you some sometime so you can try it.

Nek: Oh, thank you... *Not used to saying 'thank you' so it sounds a little weird*

Byrnar: *Sleepily wanders into the clearing* Nek? Where'd you go? *Staggering around disheveled from just waking up from his nap, looks sort of like he may be drunk again*

Albaine: *nods* No problem. *looks over, spotting Byrnar* ...?

Nek: *Spots Byrnar as well* So much for escaping to my caves... *Notices the stagger and cringes* He's not...?

Byrnar: *Spies Nek and Albaine* Hey! Nek! *Begins to wander over*

Albaine: *frowns* ...I think he is. *hopes he won't get dragged into another "spar for Nek's affection'*

Nek: *Readies her whip in case she has to restrain him*

Byrnar: *Reaches them and cricks his back, yawning for a little bit before looking more awake* I was wondering where you had gotten to, I woke up and you were gone again *Notices Albaine* Oh, hello, I'm Byrnar, you must be an acquaintance of Nek from this world?

Albaine: *nods* I'm Albaine.

Byrnar: *Smiles and offers a handshake* Nice to meet you!

Nek: *Blinks uncertainly* You... Aren't drunk this time?

Byrnar: *Blinks* This time?

Albaine: *hopes not, shaking Byrnar's hand* Likewise. *wonders if he should specify, deciding to leave it up to Nek*

Nek: *Recoils her whip* So, I'm here, what do you want?

Byrnar: You, what else would I want? *Looks confused*

Albaine: *has nothing to add, figures he might as well say something though* How're you?

Nek: ...

Byrnar: Me? I'm good, still waking up from our nap earlier, you?

Albaine: I'm alright. About the same as usual.

Nek: So...

Byrnar: Hmmm, have I killed the conversation?

Albaine: *shrugs* Just a little. *wasn't sure where they were going to go from the ice cream conversation anyways*

Nek: ...

Byrnar: ... Does anyone have any conversation starters? *Tries to think of topics and thinks this could be like a bar setting, which makes him think of alcohol, which reminds him of the last time he had it and woke up wearing his tunic as a dress with Nek's belt* ...Oh... I get it now...

Albaine: Got it? *wonders if Byrnar recalls anything from last time or not*

Byrnar: Uh, nothing, I just realized something from earlier *Laughs nervously* Say, have I ever met you before?

Nek: *Sighs and rolls her eyes*

Albaine: *unsure of what to answer, and doesn't feel like explaining what happened* Nope.

Byrnar: Ah, alright... *Glances at Nek nervously, wondering if she's still mad about the incident since she brought it up*

Nek: *Mock innocently playing with her whip, giving it a good snap when Byrnar looks over at her* ... *Smiles at him*

Byrnar: *Has a shiver go down his spine at the smile* ... sweatdrop

Albaine: ... *glad Nek's not mad at him*

Byrnar: *Clears his throat* So... Who wants to change the subject?

Nek: Why don't you?

Byrnar: I can't think of what to change it to...

Albaine: ... *turns to Byrnar* So, you ever have ice cream?

Nek: ...?

Byrnar: Uh, yes, it was quite good, is it a rarity here?

Albaine: *shakes his head* I don't think so, there's always some at the house I'm staying in.

Byrnar: Hmmm...

Nek: *All of a sudden notices that Albaine's wearing a different hat* ...? *And other articales of clothing* What the-? What in the world are you wearing?!

Albaine: *smiles a bit, amused* Well, earlier it was too warm for what I normally wear so I'm wearing this. It's what people usually wear where I'm from. *pauses, reminded of something, and takes off the hat* I actually don't need this on right now

Nek: Really?

Byrnar: So what do you usually wear if not this?

Albaine: *nods in response to Nek* A black tuxedo with a top hat. It's too warm to wear during Summer days, but normally I don't come out until night anyway.

Byrnar: A... Tux-ee-doe? *Looks at Nek*

Nek: *Recovers from her shock and shrugs at Byrnar's look, since she didn't know what Albaine's apparel was called and doesn't quite know how to describe it*

Albaine: *goes for a simple explanation* Black jacket, white shirt, black pants, black shoes. There's a bit more to it, but that's basically what it is.

Byrnar: Ah, I see *Tilts his head* Is there a reason you wear different clothes than what the rest of your world usually wears?

Nek: *Tugs at the shoulder of Byrnar's leather armor hidden under his tunic* Do you really want to ask all these questions about clothing?

Albaine: There is, but it's not something I really want to get into at the moment. *wonders if Byrnar's attire isn't what people in Nek's world usually wears or if the armor underneath is just strange*

Byrnar: Ah, I'm sorry for asking, then *Tries to think of what to talk about next*

Nek: *Yawns*

Albaine: *shakes his head* It's fine. *getting a little tired too* I think I'm going to head home now. Have a good night. *waves, and heads off*

Nek: *Nods and waves before heading to her own caves for the night*

Byrnar: You, too *Follows after Nek*

Albaine: *wanders out*

Ryo: *Perched in a tree, his legs swinging back and forth*

Albaine: *spots Ryo and waves* Hello.

Ryo: *Waves down at Albaine before deciding it's time to climb down* How is it going?

Albaine: Alright, you?

Ryo: *Drops down and brushes himself off* I am alright for the most part

Albaine: *nods* That's good.

Ryo: *Nods* Returning to your nightly routine now that Evan is reaching adulthood?

Albaine: Well, I'm still more of a night owl than being fully nocturnal. Whether I stay that way or go back to being nocturnal depends on whether I find a reason to.

Ryo: If Evan remains a day walker, if you wish to see him, you may still need to spend some time in the light

Albaine: *nods* I don't mind being up during the day. It isn't as if I was nocturnal by nature.

Ryo: Makes it easier for adjusting when it's not built into your nature. *Cocks his head* So, what's your opinion on Fatherhood, now that you've experienced it

Albaine: *thinks, simplifying his feeling regarding it* It's nice to have someone to take care of.

Ryo: Nice enough to take on more in the future?

Albaine: I might, if I find another one in the future. Not now though.

Ryo: *Chuckles* I didn't mean now. Always need a break between

Albaine: *nods* I think I'd grow tired of raising kids if immediately after one grows up I got another one.

Ryo: Some parents can handle it. I'm not one of them *Smiles and rocks on the heels of his feet* I like my alone time

Albaine: I don't think I could either. I'm actually thinking about moving out of the house, there's no point in me being there.

Ryo: *Blinks in surprise, having thought that Albaine would have moved out long ago* Have you found a new place to live?

Albaine: Not yet, I'm still looking. I'll probably move out when Evan does, or soon after.

Ryo: If you're brave enough, you could try talking to Ririka. She has a book of empty homes on the island.

Albaine: *ponders this a moment* ... *wonders if he could get somebody to steal it for him so he doesn't have to talk to humans* ...eh, I might ask. Looking around randomly for an empty house sounds like it'd take a lot of time.

Ryo: And you might find it lock *Cocks his head* It's kind of hit or miss really

Albaine: Eh, it being locked wouldn't bother me so long as I knew it was unoccupied.

Ryo: Could be booby trapped

Albaine: *thinks about what sort of trap would be effective against a teleporter* True, they could have the house rigged to set out lethal gas if the numerous motion sensors detects movement.

Ryo: Or it could be rigged to send out sleep gas, and you'll wake up in a dress

Albaine: ..what is it with the human's strange fixation on putting men in dresses? *finds the idea of a guy in a dress rather disturbing*

Albaine: *wondering why he's suddenly out in the rain*

Albaine! You don't have to kiss a guy! =D

Albaine: ...what? *rather confused*

Albaine: *shakes his head, and looks around*

Albaine: *looks up at the rain while taking shelter beneath a tree, mutters* At least I always have a hat.

Reyn: *Looks over to Albaine in a bored manner* Not like getting a little wet?

Albaine: I actually don't mind normally, it's just odd that the one day I'm forced out it happens to be raining.

Reyn: Human send you out?

Albaine: Yes. Then she randomly said I didn't have to kiss a guy and wandered off. *shrugs, not knowing the situation*

Reyn: *Drawls* It means she brought you out to kiss another man

Albaine: *annoyed by the idea* ...I'm glad I'm moving out soon. stare

Reyn: *Lazily leans on his scythe* That'll only help you a little bit

Albaine: *shrugs, pretty much knowing that already* A little is better than nothing.

Reyn: Until your human to summon you out of no where on a whim

Albaine: She tends not to do that really. She prefers butting into my conversations randomly. *hopes tonight isn't the start of a bad trend*

Reyn: Well aren't you lucky

Albaine: *shrugs, unsure of what to think of his luck and doesn't really want to talk about it*

Albaine: *wanders out*

Kara: *walks out*

Albaine: *spots "Tomoe" and waves* Hello.

Kara: *waves back* Hi.

Albaine: How're you?

Kara: Well enough. And you?

Albaine: Considering that I met a time traveling Dialga yesterday who knew my whole life and was telling me about it for whatever reason I'm surprised I'm not in a terrible mood.

Kara: *whistles softly* Well, I'd certainly be in one, to be sure.

Albaine: I was at the time. I'm still a little paranoid that she might go around telling people. Not that I could really do anything about it.

Kara: Well, time travelers tend to be a little . . . *wiggles her hand* Ehn. You know. Even if she did, no one would necessarily believe her.

Albaine: True, not to mention I don't think anybody outside of the people I talk to would care. *a little glad he already told Evan about his past*

Kara: *shrugs a bit uneasily* Well, there is that as well.

Albaine: *shrugs, not going to worry about it* Least it's a nice night out.

Kara: *brightens* Yeah, a good night for stargazing.

Albaine: *looks up at the sky, nodding* And it's not terribly warm either.

Kara: Perfect middle, I should think.

Albaine: *nods* A little warm, but that's just from this jacket I'm sure.

Kara: *tilts her head curiously* Do you always wear the jacket?

Albaine: Only when I'm in this outfit. A little while ago I was in a more casual outfit because it was daytime and it was much too warm.

Kara: Ah, yes, that makes sense.

Albaine: I'd wear it more often during the warmer months, but I usually wind up wearing this without really thinking about it.

Kara: Force of habit, yes?

Albaine: *nods* Least it's not a bad one.

Kara: Indeed. Could be much worse.

Albaine: I think I'm going to go sleep now. Night. *waves and walks off toward the house*

Kara: Good night, then. *waves and walks out*
