Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ecavi was walking around through the museum with two small aduthule girls herself when she heard the door open and barely audible muttering in the entryway. Ceri was infront, babbling incessantly about the artefacts they were admiring, leading the way as they went while Myze followed after them quietly and without great interest.

"Hm," Ecavi murmurs, glancing from where the sound came, and then back to Ceri- just in time to catch her crawling through a velvet rope to try to get to the bones of something valuable looking, "Ceri!"

"Bons," Ceri murmurs, shaking her fists up and down cheerfully as she is pulled away from the exhibit. She hadn't noticed anything except this particular skeleton, but didn't seem to mind being pulled away from it- finding it another exciting kind of game.

"Come on," Ecavi says, settling Ceri into her arms, "Let's go see who's here!" She smiles and nods to Myze for her to follow them as well, "Come on, Myze."

Myze looks from the bones to Ecavi with the same somber expression she normally wears, looking to Ceri- who was leaning over their guardians arms and babbling at her twin.

"Bones, Myze!" Ceri informs her sister, in a muddle of babbling and thinking at her, "Bones are big, and old looking- lots bigger than us! Did you see it, Myze?" Ceri goes on without giving a chance for a reply. Myze just stares apathetically, though the thoughts Ceri perceive are most certainly content.

"Hello, can I help you with something?" Ecavi asks loudly when they round an exhibit, spotting the girls and the other aduthule. Ceri quiets and turns sharply when Ecavi speaks, and even Myze leans over a little to see beyond their guardian.

Ecavi smiles at Kay as she tries to explain the problem, nodding along, "I know who you mean- he gave me Ceri and Myze." She shifts Ceri in her arms a bit, nodding after the woman realizes that they'd met before. Pausing only momentarily to think about it, she nods, "Yes! We were there. I'm Ecavi- I'm not sure I caught your name, though.."

Ceri gasps at Nuria when she comes over to them, and leans far over her guardians arm to try to get a good look at her. She flails both arms excitedly, "Oooh! Hii!" She wiggles around until Ecavi finally sets her down on the floor, where she smiles brightly and waves at the thule again- just incase she hadn't seen her from up there. She'd seen this thule before- by the campfire, which was the only reason she really remembered her.

"Name?" She asks brightly, pointing.

Myze crosses her dark arms, and leans back so she's partly hidden by Ecavi's legs, and the others are almost entirely hidden from view. She vaguely recognized the aduthule and that woman, she hadn't cared much for the party- there were too many aduthule there. She peeks back around the legs again, realizing this was much better than another party situation..

It was always the same. Lena had been in a rush, tried everything to make the shopping trip run smoothly and now they were gone...
The mother stood in the middle of the big shopping center and just stared at the lines of busy people, but Gaspar and Carlos were nowhere to be seen. Did they probably get out of the shop into the city ?

Gaspar pushed the door open and peered inside the museum. They had been here before quite often, especially when they didn't have a room. 'We're back, Carlos. Now we can finally get all the nice stuff.'

'Are we alone ?' A second figure entered the building and Carlos fluttered with his wings as he moved inside the warm museum. One of his hands was obviously holding something small and his eyes tried to examine the room closely. Finally he spotted the other Aduthule and their caretakers. Squealing in delight he waved his tail and quickly stumbled towards them. "Heyo."

He remembered them from the party. They were nice, right ?

The greedy Thule didn't seem so happy and just followed very slowly. They had come to take his things, for sure ! He'd never be like uncle Dagobert like that.

Just about to move towards one of the wonderful things inside the glass cages, Gaspar was startled as he heard his name. And it wasn't spoken by the motherly one neither by his brother. It took just a few seconds until he had found the one who greeted him in a friendly way.

Carlos blinked a bit surprised that Gaspar had friends, but then his smile broadened. So great, now they could share the happiness ! Gaspar could tell him stories about the friends and he, Carlos, could listen. 'Ceri likes you'.

As he heard his brother's voice in his head as usual, the greedy Thule suddenly recognised the shiny girl. Of course, she had been at the party and damn she had the prettiest tail ever. His wings moved very slightly as he walked over to the small group and looked at the sunny Thule. He knew what was going on, they all wanted to take this shiny precious one away. So he quickly grabbed her and hugged her tightly.

Waving his tail friendly Carlos turned to the other ones and smiled broadly. "What you do ?"

Ecavi looks at Kay and nods, "I'd be happy to watch them for you! If someone's getting married, they're going to need those pictures." She looks down at the girls, and then the two that had joined them, "I'm sure I could keep them occupied in a museum.." She glances at the boys who'd joined them again, vaguelt recognizing them- she must have seen them at the party. Hadn't they been pointed out when she was talking to Kay..?

Ceri giggles madly when Gaspar hugs her tightly, taking her now free hands and returning the hug. He was much cuddlier seeming now than he was before! Did this mean she'd taken good care of her tail? She lets go of Gaspar, and through his grasp she pulls at her own tail to try to show him, "Tail Gapar's! Is a'right?"

Myze looks between each of the aduthule present, narrowing her eyes- it's getting awfully crowded. She pauses her gaze on the icy thule- she's clearly the only reasonable one, seeing as she was inching away from the group. One less thule she'd have to worry about. She sighs audibly, looking from Nuria, to Carlos, and then to Gaspar warily.

Then she scoffed to herself, turning away from the others. Ceri could take care of herself- if she liked being crowded and hugging, then Myze wasn't needed here. She crosses her winged arms carefully, and decides it's time to go back to looking around the museum. She steps towards the nearest exhibit and examines it in as obvious a manner as she can manage, because as irritating as she may find it she knows that her guardian would probably worry.

Kay look enormously relieved by Ecavi's response. "You..." She said, grabbing her hand and shaking it, ".. are a life-saver!"

Turning to her girls, getting Danica's attention before she wandered off completely, she crouched down to look in their faces and talk to them. "Ok you two, behave yourselves for Ecavi alright? Or I'll hear about it and desert will be off!" She winked at them though, not intending to frighten them. "I have to go do some work now, but I'll be back soon as I can ok? Alright, see you in a little while." She smiled and stood up. She knew they could kinda understand her. Hopefully they could understand she had to work too.

And with a quick double check of the equipment bags she had slung over her shoulders, Kay dashed out the museum and off to her job.

Danica watched the others from a little way away but turned her attention to Kay as she told them she'd be back soon. Danica was suspicious.... They'd already been left here once, she didn't want to have to get to know a new guardian all over again. She frowned slightly as Kay disappeared, not sure if she could trust her yet.

"Play? Oh play! Yes yes!!" Nuria nodded. She loved to play! Play with dolls, play dress-up, play with Danica's stuff, play with Kay's stuff. It was all good fun. But Danica didn't usually want to play with her. At least, she didn't consider it playing. Just sorting things and putting them in place wasn't fun. Maybe this Carrrrlos would be more fun? "Wanna play now? Play wid me?" She imediatly grabbed onto his tail and begain to comb his fur there with her fingers before trying, half-hazardly, to plait it.

However when Kay interupted her to say her goodbyes, Nuria tried to pay attention to both things, causing her not to listen too well. So when Kay got up and left... Nuria blinked, shocked, and slowly began to wimper, her eyes watering up. "Kaayy....?" She called to the empty door where her new caretaker had gone.

Carlos didn't actually care about the grown-up. He had been taken home by three of them and sometimes people had left and now the little Thule was sure that he and Gaspar could survive everything even wandering alone on the streets.

"Yeaah, play." He grinned broadly and moved his wings slightly while pushing a strand of his steadily growing blonde hair out of his face. "Love to play you." Carlos nodded excitedly. Finally he had found someone to play. Sometimes he also played with Gaspar, Monopoly, but he always lost because he gave away the streets.
"More play, more better." He announced as he listened to Ceri, but suddenly became very quiet as Nuria started to look sad.

Remembering what all the grown-ups said in such situations he first looked at his stroked tail and then put a hand on Nuria's shoulder. "Yo ok ?" Somehow he really wanted to help her. "Nurya, you want to say 'We play that game' and then we play it ?"

Rolling his eyes Gaspar lashed his tail and stared at the group of people. He should have decided to talk to the starry or the icey one, they seemed quieter and not so fond of playing.

He didn't want sadness too ! It was a bad thing and who in the world was interested in owning sad and bad stuff ?

Thinking about the options Gaspar nodded slightly, still holding on to Ceri with one hand. She was his, a good trade. If he let her go now, the others would get her. Big no no ! Perhaps he could say yes and then he would just watch and take care of Ceri. Indeed, what a plan. "Sure, we play."
