Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aethi looked over the letter, still seated on Ari's midsection. She even adjusted herself to get more comfortable. After reading it over twice she handed it back to Ari silently. She looked uncomfortable. "I know where that place is. Or at least I think I do. I'm also aware of who the person is that wrote that letter. I don't like this."

T: "Aww. We'll have to break out your sense of adventure sooner or later, love." He moved his hands to tickle at Atha's sides then, grinning as he did so.

Aethi sighed and stood up, moving towards the window. "I think there are things being set in motion that are going to change everything." Her back would be to Ari now as she put her hands on the window sill, leaning forward a bit. Apparently that letter was getting on her nerves more than it had seemed at first.

T: "Well you're no fun! Later! Psh! Oh well, I'll get it outta ya eventually." He laughed then shuddered as her tongue flicked against his earlobe. "Mmm...Now that's a bit mean. Resisting the tickling then doing that. Shall be head inside soon? It is a bit chilly out, as you say."

Aethi closed her eyes for a minute, taking a few deep breaths. When she opened them again she turned to look at Ari, hesitating for a moment before kissing her suddenly. It would be brief but passionate and when she would pull away she looked harrowed by something that was going on in her mind. "If only you knew..."

T: Being whisked back to the room they shared, Truinthil closed his eyes and enjoyed the short trip through darkness, his hand in Atha's. Once in the room he tackled Atha to the bed without hesitation.

Aethi: Sensing the same thing as the other two in the room Aethi sighed and didn't even bother following them. She knew what they were checking on and knew what they would find. When they got back after a short moment she shook her head without looking towards either of them. "He's not here. He's where your mother went I'm sure. Things are going to be..." she trailed off then, shrugging and turning away from the window with a smile. "Things will be alright I think!"

Devon, who had already gone back to his book, was still listening to everything being said. Without even looking up from his reading he spoke to Aethi with a sort of curious yet stern tone. "You're hiding something." It was all he said, but then again, it was all he needed to say. His sister hadn't seem to picked up on it after all.

Aethi looked to Devon in mild shock. He was speaking already. Had she been gone that much that she missed that? No matter. He was right. Shaking her head though, she was glad that Ari had asked the wrong question. "I know nothing more than you when it comes to Draeken. I wish I knew..."

Devon cut Aethi off then, making a chiding noise while continuing to read at a quick pace. "It has to do with something other than father, doesnt it? Figures."

Aethi looked at the child with her mouth open. How he was gleaning so much from her words at his age was beyond her. She closed her eyes for a few seconds again. She couldn't speak what she knew, though. That would have to wait until Phia spoke of it herself.

Aethi shook her head and looked at Ari with apology set heavy in her eyes. "I can't. It's not for me to say." She sighed once more and looked outside again. "I fear you'll know soon enough."

Aethi let Aria walk away and looked down to Devon. "I wish I could, but at the same time...It's not my place. I take it you understand, right?"

Devon looked up from his book momentarily, nodded, then resumed reading.
