Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wincing a little, Kiro experimentally took his hand from his ear, nodding to Ieyasu's question. "Yeah... I'll be fine. I'll just have a bald patch for a little while." He knew Tsukai hadn't ment it viciously, he'd just got over excited. This, however, didn't change the fact that it hurt. He quietly held onto his ear again as he turned towards the Aerandir, who were actively seeking out Tsukai. Pueblo was going about her task rather loudly, moving things and calling "Suuuu?!" every so often. It was also amusing to watch Osu poking his head through things in his own efforts.

Jokingly Kiro murmured to Ieyasu, "Is there neko-jin fur on your list? Because if there is you're welcome to it if we can catch him with it..."

"SU!!" came a sudden triumphant giggle. Evidently Pueblo had found the elusive creature.

Kiro nodded at Ieyasu's observation. "Thank goodness..."

Tsukai was caught!! Drat! They'd double crossed him! He still had Kiro's fur clenched in his beak as he watched Pueblo and Osusuki warily. But then Osu held out his hands!! Aha, here was his chance to catch the floating thing!! He was about to leap forward when...

Stubbornly, Kiro crouched besides the small gaggle, reached out with a hand and gripped Tsukai in such a manner as to pin the little animal's wings so he couldn't flutter out of reach. Raising his other hand, he pulled the fur unceremoniously out of Tsu's mouth, and then tapped him lightly on the beak with a finger. He didn't want to reprimand the little guy, but he had to know that had been bad and it would get him into trouble. He looked at Tsu for a few moments. "That was wrong, okay? Don't do it again..."

A shamed "peep" came in response, as Kiro then let the creature go to play with the others. He stood straight and glanced at the fur in his hand before offering it to Ieyasu. "Will this be any use to you?"



As Tsu was let loose, he sulked for a moment. He didn't like being told off, and Kiro's tone of voice made him feel like he'd been bad...

"Su...?"

With a decisive peep, Tsukai then hopped onto Pueblo's head, pulling a gleeful giggle from the little girl, before renewing his attempts to touch Osu. Why couldn't he land on him!? It was like... like he was passing straight through him!!

Ieyasu's words made Kiro smile a little. Something good had come out of this he supposed. Despite the fact it looked like he might be prematurely bald. He really hoped that fur was going to grow back in sometime soon.

"Seems they've completely forgotten about eating," he commented idly, watching Tsukai continue to attempt to touch Osu, and growing throughly confused as to why he couldn't. Pueblo was helping Tsu by this time - although surely she understood Osu couldn't be touched - cupping Tsu into her hands and seeming to almost fire him at Osu with several giggles as she did so.

Kiro nodded, also smiling again and having pretty much forgotten his smarting ear. "I think I'm going to have to break them up," he admitted after a moment. "Those two need feeding."

He moved forward towards the group, hating to break them up, but needing their attention if he's going to give them food. They'd missed their last meal as it was, and Pueblo had complained of being hungry before. "Come on guys," he said to Pueblo and Tsukai with a smile. "Say goodbye to Osu, okay? We have to go get something to eat now, otherwise you'll starve."

"Starve?!" She looked honestly and completely shocked by this idea. How horrible!

Kiro nodded solemnly. "Yes, and we don't want that to happen, do we?."

With a shake of her head that was just as solemn, Pueblo turned to Osu and waved to the floaty wisp. "Goo'bai..." Tsukai likewise peeped in farewell before hopping onto Kiro's shoulder. He'd already been in enough trouble today...!

Kiro nodded in like, raising his own hand in goodbye to Ieyasu.

"Now guys, how about food?"

The peep and the joyful exclaimation made him smile a little as they headed towards the kitchen area to sort out what they'd originally come out for, once that was sorted satisfactory, heading back to their room for 'bedtime'.

It had been far too long since Dragonfly had been out of the house, and Iniko had taken to leaving on her own when Dragonfly wouldn't take her places, and many a time Iniko had made her own way to the beach. But not today. Dragonfly needed out of the house. Being cooped up with a book under her nose all day was beginning to wear on her. She needed a few things from the mainland though, and thus was heading to the center to see if she could pick herself up a few small batteries for her flashlight. It had recently died on her while trying to find her way to the bathroom at night, and thus Dragonfly was in dire need of some new ones. There were some other things she needed as well, but nothing as important as the batteries.

She had decided that after going to the center she'd head down to the beach for a little R and R, after all, she and Iniko needed it! She brought with her a picnic basket, with a towel and a blanket inside. After all, if they were going to spend time at the beach they might as well make a day of it!

But first, the Centre.

She pushed the door open with the arm that was not occupied with the basket, and gazed around the room.

Iniko bounded from between Dragonfly's feet, honking and bouncing in one spot, excited to be out of the house. It had been a long time since that had happened!

Iniko went ploughing into the centre, more than a little excited, hardly paying attention to where she was going.

Which was exactly why she went ploughing into Tsukai.

She toppled over the other, letting out a honk of surprise as her back end flew over her front, and she became tangled with the other.

Iniko blinked at the other gryphon, and let out what sounded like a wail of apology, before nuzzling the other gryphon as she was jumped upon by the other. Playtime! Yay!

Dragonfly could only blink as the two went from tangled to extatic and excited to be near each other.

"Well. I'm glad they're alright," she said out loud, more to herself than to Kiro.

She blinked as she was addressed, and tilted her head, gazing towards the other, a smile curling upon her lips.

"Hello!" she said, stepping inside and shutting the door behind her, "Is that Aerandir yours? I'm very sorry about that. Usually Iniko knows better than to go tearing around like a lunatic,"

She laughed good naturdly, setting the heavy basket down on the floor, and waltzing towards where the list to Alyosha was.
