Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Are you sure he's going to like them ?" Kishi asked her grey eyes skeptical as they looked at her father. Them reffered to a basket of spider shaped cookies that the father daughter duo had baked earlier. Kishi had ice them alone using orange, black and purple icing a show of Halloween and Zah's colours. Still the girl was skeptical about whether or not her friend would enjoy the treat.

Malen smiled down at his daughter as they approached the door " At the vary least I'm sure he'll eat one just becuase you made the effort to make them. If all else fails Neveah can have them."

Kishi was still not certain about that and still somewhat worried that her friend no longer liked her since he'd been somewhat indifferent to her at Kay's party. Still she had to hope they were still friends so she knocked loudly on the front door and waited.

From her newly grown perspective Zah seemed so much smaller to kishi than before, She was usually a bit older than him but this time the difference in their size and ages seemed huge. Not that Kishi minded really becuase she could always understand and play with Zah and that was what mattered.

As she stepped in and noticed the look Zah was givng her basket she grinned " Hi Zah, I made cookies for you I hope you like them." At the she reached into the basket and pulled out a cookie sporting a black body and purple eyes."If you don't like them I'm really sorry." Kishi truly hoped the effort she'd put into helping make the cookies from scratch wouldn't go to waste.

Malen grinned at the young boy " Hey there Zah I haven't seen you since you were a baby and it looks like you've grown some since then. I hope you're being a good kid and not causing your mother too much trouble."

As Kishi watch Neveah's reaction to Zah's speech ( Part of which she didn't understand but figured was thank you) she tried to remember what her own first word had been. As far as she knew she'd always spoke English so there was no difference between her first word and first in English. With a shrug she gave up and decided she'd ask her father later.

Once her dark skinned friend was hiding behind her she shook her head and turned to face him presenting the whole basket to him this time " I made them just for you but you can share with your mom if you want." There were two dozen cookies in the basket so it was probably a good idea if he did.

Kishi then looked over to Neveah briefly " Your welcome , I was happy to come and I'm glad he can talk so I understand him now."

" Ahh well if he gets to be too much trouble you just send him to me and I'll straighten him out." Malen said winking at his fellow guardian. " It's a pleasure to be here by the way, I would have brought you a treat as week but I didn't have quite enough time."

" Thank you zah" Kishi said licking her lips a bit, her father hadn't allowed for her to eat the cookie dough and she wasn't sure she'd be getting any of the cookies she'd made for her friend. As she took the cookies she winked at Zah who was now worried about said cookies safelty " Don't worry Zah I'll help you protect the cookies."

Not that Kishi would actually dare to hit Neveah nor could she with her father holding her wand. Still she'd do her best to persuade the guardian not to take away Zah's treats.

Malen carefull sat on a couch (after checking for spiders first) and smiled at his hostess." Send me all the boys you like, boys I can understand, girls" he shrugged " I just hope to do my best with Del, Kishi and Kay."

"I've been doing ok, spending more time training these days, more species popping up on gaia means more scum and thus more jobs. I'm only one man and I'm only human , keeping up isn't as easy as it used to be." Malen was starting to wonder if it was maybe time to retire before he seriously hurt himself. He could spend the rest of his life helping Ianna and training the various kids who wandered through HQ.

Kishi had smiled when they'd briefly stopped in the cradle room. There were no babies in her house anymore and that made her sort of sad. Kishi liked babies becuase they were smiley and friendly or atleast Artemis and Zah had been nice babies. Still sleeping babies were probably best left sleeping.

Once in Zah's room Kishi wished she'd taken her wand from her father. Zah might be able to see in the dark but she couldn't well not perfectly anyways she could make out the edges of shapes enough to nagivate but she had a feeling from the carefree way Zah jumped about that he see in the darkness like she saw in the light.

"Your room is huge Zah much bigger than mine" She said with a slight hint of jealousy in her voice before finishing off her cookie. " What do you want to do?"


Hmm? I'm rather fond of being human but thanks for the idea, tea would be lovely whatever brand you prefer as well." Malen loved tea and wondered flavour he would receive here." I'm glad you're enjoying yoru house mates and remeber where I live nothing surprises me."

Kishi had no clue what her friend was saying aside from her name so she went on gut instinct. She thought he was asking what they were going to play. Of course she could be totally wrong and he could be tryign to warn here about the girl eating spiders who lived above her head. Still she went with her first instincts.

Spreading her wings wide she grinned at Zah " Want to wrestle?" Kishi couldn't make out any blocks or other play toy in the room but she did see lots of open space good for rolling around on. Wrestling was also fair to both them them becuase while Kishi was bigger and weigh more Zah saw better in the dark and could wriggle out of her grip. Besides she also had huge wings which were a disadvantage.

Malen nodded "Very true I appreciate the warning." He looked closer at the butterfly woman searching for signs of stress " Are you feelings better these day? Getting more rest and food?" Malen considered himself somewhere between nosey and mother henish

Unlike Zah, Kishi could only bring herself down to the ground a little without riskign scrapping her wings on the floor. Still she crouched as much as she could and scuttled towards the younger child.

Suddenly she lunged wings spread wide, though her wings weren't really strong enough to stop Zah if he tried to push past them. That and the Drow could always slide under them, still if she made herself seem huge she might intimidate her friend long enough to grab him.


Malen shook his head " You need a serious Vacation, even for another weekend just drop all the kids off with a sitter, head to a spa and relax, if you don't mind traveling all the way to Earth can reccomend a rather nice one." Malen tried to imagine his parent's reaction to Neveah.

" Just out of curiosoity what is your species generally like, what do they normally do? you said you're not built to handle this kind of stress is that a personal or gentic thing.?"
