Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ever's eyes widened and she sat down on her mat with a thud and a sigh. Wow. A lot happened yesterday. More than the day before? No, but still, this was amazing.

"Well, I wasn't suggesting that you kissed him based solely on his looks. I don't think you're the kind of person to do that, and not just because you're blind. But it's because you'd judge him based on his personality that has me worried. How can you know him and trust him enough after just one day? I mean, look, he's already run off and he just abandoned you last night! Although, to be fair, I can't really blame him from running off, but he should have come back today to at least check on you."

Ever smirked, though, and leaned back on her elbows. "However, if you've never been kissed before, I can't blame you for wanting to experience it. I just experienced my first kiss the day before yesterday, and while I've somewhat known the guy for three years, I had never talked civilly with him before Monday. But, I'm afraid that you might be wanting more with him than just a simple kiss. You seemed pretty hot and heavy last night..."

Ever groaned then and rested completely on her back on the ground. She covered her face with her hands.

"Gods, I'm sounding like a judgmental b***h. I'm not trying to be, because I'm not judging you. It just sounds that way. I'm just concerned because, while I have very little experience with this stuff, I think we're all way too young to get seriously involved. Guys are far too immature and fickle at this age."

((*Resists making Musica reappear* This is making it so hard not to T^T but he needs time to think, and ponder the chance of Nikolaus returning being worth it >.> ))

{{I thought you might want to bring Musica in at this point, Albtraum. lol!! I'm glad you're not, though. It adds more suspense! biggrin }}

Ever laughed along with Ari. She was a lot of fun to hang out with. She had only hung out with Akira the past 2 years, and while she would always be her best friend, it was cool to have other people both she and Akira could hang out with, too. She hoped that both Ari and Aurora became regulars in their little group.

"Well, in an effort not to look or feel like a dumb a**, I'm not getting seriously romantically involved with a guy for a few more years! I have too many years of freedom and fun to have in the next few years. I don't want to be tied down!"

Ever laughed, but eventually, as she thought of the last thing Ari had said a little while ago, her laughing died down and she asked a question softly, cautiously.

"Did... did Musica really somehow get you to see?"

Ever didn't look at the burns. She believed everything Ari said. Gods could do amazing things, even demigods. Maybe Norse gods were more helpful than Greek Gods were, though.

"Well... wow. That is absolutely amazing. Obviously I can't even imagine what that must have been like for you, but it is awesome that Musica could give that to you. And isn't Ares incredibly hot? I hope you saw him before he had all the make-up on."

Ever laughed at the last two things she said, obviously joking about Ari even possibly focusing on Ares' looks when she finally had the chance to see again. But her laughter quickly died down and she proceeded to voice her next concern very carefully.

"But, Ari.... just because he gave you that, don't feel like you owe him anything or have to remain attached to him. I'm not saying you'd do that at all! But from what I can tell, you're a very kind and sweet person and you'd want to do your best to remain friends with someone who gave you great of a gift. But you don't owe him that. If he's really a good guy, then he gave that gift to you without any expectation for something in return."

Ari nodded. "I thought about that last night a lot," she said, biting her lip. "You're right, I don't owe him anything... but it was amazing of him to do that for me when he had just met me!" she sighed happily. In response to the comment on Ares, she grimaced. "Hot? All I saw was Miss America!" she giggled, meaning to say that she had seen him only after he'd been all spruced up.

Last night Kindra decided to head up to sleep after getting a snack in the cafeteria and despite her hearing weird noises from outside, her sleepiness got the better of her. The next day after she woke up she decided to practice a bit with her sword by the lake she saw when she first arrived at the school. First though she wanted to meditate. She had noticed last night their was a meditation room not too far away from her room. She picked up her sword strapped it to her back and was out the door and on her way to the meditation room. When she arrived at the door she could hear voices inside and decided to enter as quietly as she could in case the people where about to meditate.

"Well its a good thing I'm a student then" She replied with a small smile. "I just recently enrolled so I have yet to receive my uniform. Oh and my name is Kindra." She of course remembered to introduce herself. She then noticed a stack of mats and grabbed one and placed it not too far away from Ari and Evermore. "I transferred from the Mystic Fountain high school." She added before sitting down on the mat.

”Mystic Fountain, huh?” Ari said, smiling. ”Impressive! We have an exchange student!” she cheered softly, sitting up and moving to the center of her mat. Oddly enough, she felt better now, as if she had gotten all her emotions out and now she was a blank slate. She liked the feeling. Taking another deep breath, she got into lotus pose but was still ready to talk… like she’d told Evermore: sitting quiet for too long was not really her thing.
