Welcome to Gaia! ::

Crescentia distracted herself by looking around at everything, her hands clasped behind her as she, Sera and Seduire waited to be let in. At least Lysium was still out here to keep her own little girl company!

"Oh?" He kept it messy? Like her and Guin's room? Mommy and Nana always got angry whenever they walked into their room and saw the mess...maybe Lysium's daddy was scared Mommy would get mad that it was messy? She did look a little confused about the chocobo comment, mainly because she'd missed their parents' exchange about the new baby. "Why? Is it bad?" Weird! Why wouldn't Lysium like a cute birdy? Seduire was one too! Seduire raised a birdy-brow with curiosity, looking up at Shiver.

Crescentia and Sera's attentions were immediately turned to the door when it finally opened, both smiling brightly. Now they could play inside! It was getting dark, and when it got dark it got cold! It was too cold to be outside dressed as a ballerina princess. Somehow Crescentia didn't seem to even notice the weather. "Why thank you, Faiga!" Crescentia smiled, looking down at the girls and waiting for them to go in first. It was Lysium's home~ And the children didn't look excited to be outside anymore anyway. Lysium's dad didn't seem crazy to Sera! Just a little excited!

Sera seemed like the type to be easily swayed, but she wanted to see for herself why the chocobo was bad before judging the poor thing. It was just a baby! Babies didn't know what they were doing! The girl's eyes widened at the description of the birth, letting out a loud "Ewwww!" Blood? Gore? Eww! How gross! Why would a baby do that?! Crescentia blinked and paused in walking up to the hut. What was wrong?

"Something wrong, sweetheart?" Sera blushed a little and shook her head, ushering Seduire into the hut before her. Seduire was watching quite curiously, tilting his head a little when poor Shiver was being shoved into Lysium's armpit. Poor cat.

"N-no!" She frowned and turned back to Lysium, following the girl with a little nod. "Okay." They could just play instead. It was her mommy's idea to go see the chocobo! ...Should she warn Mommy? Seraphine glanced up at her mother for a moment and decided against it. Mommy would be fine! She was bigger than a baby chocobo! Ooh! Balls!

Crescentia smiled softly at Faiga and nodded. "Sure! Anything's fine." You'd think a comment like that would get a woman into trouble. Good thing she trusted Faiga. Unlike Sera Crescentia actually wanted to see the chocobo now. A big baby bird sounded adorable!

"Sure! If Lysium and Shiver recommend it." Crescentia replied, smiling down at the girls before following Faiga to stay by his side. "I'm sure I'll be fine." She waved a hand dismissively. This was, of course, her response to being kept warm while in the stables. "Cold doesn't bother me, plus if I want to keep warm I could just hug you!" The gypsy teased, keeping her voice low for just Faiga to hear; really she just liked to see him blush. It was cute!

Seduire's head perked up. Good stuff? Good! Seduire was a bird of high stature! ...No pun intended because of his height, of course. He obviously thought very highly of himself...at least he wasn't showing signs of being a snob yet. He's young~ Okay! The crane fluffed his feathers up a bit and hurried over to the cat daemon, looking up at the adults.

Sera plopped down on her bottom just in time to roll the ball back to Lysium, smiling brightly. She'd obviously gotten over the gross horror story. When the girl spoke Sera looked up to see both of their parents looked a bit confused.

And then she was asked the dreaded question. Make her mommy happy...or keep playing with her friend. Sera's green eyes widened as she looked from Faiga and Crescentia to Lysium and back to the adults. Oh dear...uh...what to do...um...oh! Perfect! "S'cold." Sera said with a frown, rubbing her arms. She meant outside of course. "Wanna play wit' Lys'um!" She finished, looking relieved that Crescentia seemed to understand instead of looking disappointed.

Crescentia giggled and kissed his cheek when she was sure the children were distracted, leaning against the kitchen counter and sipping at her drink. Mm! It was good! At Faiga's words she looked towards the door, then at everything she'd been told the children couldn't reach. Well that was good! She had no doubt Sera would be safe as long as she was with Seduire; he always looked out for her.

Seduire bent down and poked his beak into the cup, somehow drinking at the hot drink inside. Shiver would be safe in assuming that this bird liked the juice from how long his beak stayed down.

"Ummm~" Sera waited until Lysium was done drinking to pass the ball back, looking around the hut to see if she could think of anything else to do besides play with the ball. Ooh, were those crayons? After she rolled the ball away she took tentative sips at her mug, mainly just being careful because it was hot. "Crayons?" Aw, man. She couldn't wait until she was big enough to say more words aloud like Lysium and Mommy!

She'd been having fun just watching her daughter interact with the other girl, but Crescentia was quickly torn from her fond reverie by Faiga's voice. Oh yes! The little chocobo. The gypsy nodded and took another nice sip from the drink, smiling brightly at how it warmed her. "Of course!" And, although she probably didn't need to, she turned to Sera and gave her a quick 'Be good while we're outside, darling!' then turned back to Faiga, nursing at her drink. "Lead the way, love."

Crescentia didn't seem to notice the smell in the stables; it smelled the way any person should expect them to smell, only this was for birds instead of cows or pigs or horses. The gypsy still had her mug and was nursing at it contently, resting her head on Faiga's shoulder the short walk into the stables. He was warm! "Boxes?" She assumed that the things they slept and lived in were the 'boxes' he meant. Nonetheless she smiled, nodded and turned to the closest chocobo. "...Heeeey, I recognize you." Crescentia smiled brightly at the chocobo. It was the one Faiga had had with him when she and Guin first met them! She reached out tentatively to try petting the top of his head before she hurried after Faiga.

Sera likes to play with them too. Except she's also got paint...it's so messy. Seduire sighed, making sure both Sera and Shiver could hear him as he sighed and shook his head. The little girl stuck her tongue out at the daemon, taking the ball and carefully rolling it away from all of them. Didn't want it getting in the way~!

Sera watched her new friend get up to get paper and crayons, rolling onto her stomach so she could color more comfortably if they weren't going to be using a table. Propping her head up in the palms of her hands, Sera nodded with a big smile. Of course she'd be careful with them! They weren't hers! And even then, her own crayons still looked brand new even though you knew she used them a lot. "Uh huh~!" She answered cheerfully, putting the box on the floor between them and opening it so they could both use it together. Guin didn't like drawing fun pictures with her, she'd rather make mean pictures with people fighting...sure there was magic most of the time but still! Sera did like drawing her sister's tattoos though.

Of course Crescentia loved the chocobos! They were so interesting and beautiful! Besides, doesn't she look the type to love every animal anyway? Because she is. When they reached the scruffy little cutie Crescentia squealed with excited delight, loud enough to show her adoration but soft enough not to startle any of the chocobos--especially the one in front of them. "I thought all birds laid eggs no matter what." She mused, putting her mug down in a safe spot and leaning over the edge of the box to try petting the baby. "This is the most adorable little one I've ever seen." That isn't human at least!

"She doesn't? Aw, what a shame." It was obvious just from listening to the tone that she was concentrating on trying to think up a name now. Good luck getting her out of the stables later! She's hooked!

Seduire gave a bird-like laugh at the sight. Even he, the high-class aristocrat (Pfft, he thinks he's all that) could allow himself fun playtime with the cat. He bent down and turned the ball to the side with his beak with Shiver still on it, spinning the cat around in circles. You can just hear the cheesy circus music!

Sera had picked out the remaining different shades of green crayons, a fushia crayon. She was drawing something that looked almost like a blob with arms and a face, but you could tell she was definitely attempting to draw a person of some sort. "Ghosties." That probably sounded weird, so Sera tried again. "Ghosties...in my toys." She was drawing the ghostly people that kept coming out of any instrument or dance equipment she tried to touch or use. And nobody believed her when she said they existed! They always left!

It took some deep thought, but Faiga would be able to tell when the gypsy had come to a decision; she seemed to brighten up a little more. What a perfect idea! He looked just like what she was thinking of, only cuter and larger! She brought her hand back a little when the little chocobo snarled, more out of surprise that a bird could snarl than fright at the fact that it was angry at all.

She watched Faiga at the cupboard as she reached her hand back in to pet the top of the little one's head. "I hope you like the name I give you." She whispered to the chocobo with a soft smile, glancing back over to Faiga in time to see the cups. Wine? ...Oh! Blood? How interesting. "Really?" Crescentia blinked and took the cup she was being offered, looking down at it curiously. "Is this really chocobo blood?" She asked with geniune curiosity. It was possible that he was pulling her leg! Her other hand rest over a small piece of her tattoo that could be seen from under her top.

"Soooo what do I do? Just drink it and say his name?" She didn't know how this worked with chocobos!

Seduire was laughing merrily at the sight. That looked funny! Too bad his laughter was more of a squawking sound, damn lack of human vocal chords! If only. When the cat bumped against the wall and fell off Seduire hurried over and helped the cat back to his feet. Who? Me? Blame the wall for being in your way. Because nothing is ever Seduire's fault! Of course not, what a silly idea. Seraphine was pouting at Seduire. Seduire, don't hurt Shiver.

Lysium earned her attention again when she asked about her ghosts. Finally! Someone who would believe her! Maybe if Sera told Lysium about them Lysium could tell her mommy and then her mommy would finally believe her! "They's meaniefaces!" Sera answered with a frown, drawing evil ">:D" and "D:<" faces for the ghosts faces. They always said she had no talent and that she was terrible at whatever she was trying to do! Only Seduire believed her because he was usually there at the time...but no one else ever did!
