Welcome to Gaia! ::

Allora settled down comfortably on the opposite side of the table from Alti and gestured for Haar to sit next to her son. She was obviously very taken with the two of them as a couple. "So... how did you find everything? Was the bath alright? I know none of the other Kingdoms are too used to the open air bath, but... we find it very relaxing here," she said, smiling at the pair of them.

As she spoke, they were served each a small pasta dish by silent waitors. A pungent, herby sort of aroma wafted up from the dishes, mingling with the ever present aroma of flowers. THe last waitor layed several bowls of sauces down on the table before he left.


((The way I see it... the Storms people like having choices upon choices so they can skip three courses and (in this case) still be overly full with the rest of the food.... because there's a lot. xD;;;; ))

Allora nodded in an understanding, motherly sort of way, a soft sigh leaving her lips. "Yes, well, that can't be helped, I suppose..." she murmured slowly, a small frown on her lips. But the frown was replaced almost immidiately by another smile. "Well, anyway, enough with that. Eat up - and don't worry... if it's something not to your taste, there's plenty more to choose from," she explained happily. She was quite looking forward to the other's reaction of their food. The Storms people had always been big lovers of good food.

Alti had already begun to eat, an expression of minimal interest (for the conversation) on his face.

Cain looked mildly interested, more distracted than anything else as he nodded, "I don't think I'd be able to pick up and leave home so easily. I guess it helps that the fire and light nations are strong allies though," the knight commented as he sat down at the small table. "Sort of like a home away from home here. Are you trying to get anywhere specific in this kingdom? The capital?" He asked, looking up from his cup.

Haar nodded, relaxing slightly--just enough that his hands wouldn't start shaking. Overall, the dinner had started off nicely. Allora hadn't asked anything awkward and...the food was delicious.

Leaning forward, Haar grinned widely. Ah, now this was a topic he enjoyed ranting about, something he could ramble on and on for hours, if need be. "I don't really understand why our people view your nation as such a threat...to, well, anything. I can understand the ice kindom, but you'd think we'd have much better relations since we had common allies before all the rebellions," he murmured with an almost aggrivated expression. "I still need to figure why we," he gestured towards himself and the teen next to him, "Were attacked by ice archers in the kingdom of death. I never...even saw that coming. They've been nuetral for centuries..." His voice started to trail off as he continued to replay the event in his mind. They could have easily been killed if Alti hadn't transported them here... No matter his rank or skill, anyone foot soldier's weakness was archers or rangers, who attack from far distances. "I just don't understand how troops could've gotten through their borders," he murmured softly, almost to himself.

[[They got through the borders, dear Haar, because I rule over your life. muwhahahaaaaa. evil heart ]]

"I realize that not everyone can agree with their rulers' opinions, but I've never experienced any animosity from the death kingdom. I try to visit villages every so often in certain nations to get a feel for the peoples' feelings and I asume they know I'm from the fire nation. I know I don't exactly look like royalty, or pure bloode for that matter, but not many people in that nation look quite like me," he explained with a a half-grin. It was rare to see anyone outside of the fire nation with red eyes, such as his. The color was almost a trait of fire natives, shades varying from dark russet colors to pale ruby- but red through and through.

"I suppose I'll have to talk with the death kingdom soon over this matter. Or possibly I can get the king to actually do something in concern to foreign affairs." Speaking of foreign affairs, the officer eyed Alti for a few moments with a light curve of his lips before turning his dark-red gaze towards Allora.

[[-dead- x3]]

Running his hands over the tops of his legs before resting them at his sides, clenched against the seat, Haar frowned gently. Was it just him, or was it hot...in this room? Not exactly a comforting, smooth heat, but more stuffy than anything else. Crinkling his bad eye, the soldier rubbed at his right eye with the back of his hand for a few moments before continuing, "So, what are these types of flowers?" He asked, eyeing the pastel-colored flora that adorned the entire room to an extreme. "I don't think we have anything like them back home," he explained, letting his hand fall back to the table.

"Well when your whole life has been training for you to leave then it's just something you do. I really dont need to go anywhere except where people need help. It's just what I was raised for" K still didnt have much information on this man but he felt he could be trusted. K sat down at the table and began to drink his tea.

"Well it would be nice to see the capital. And, er, educational too. If you dont' mind, I would certainly like to accompany you." K was excited that he was making friends. "I certainly hope that...." K's gaze went blank as his words suddenly trailed off. He seemed to suddenly notice something, but he wasnt really looking at anything. "Excuse me" he said dully, standing up and leaving immediatly, almost rushing. He could sense it. It was in this city, stalking its prey. K had to leave, he had to go far from this place and loose it before it found him again. He grabbed his pack and flew down the stairs, throwing some coins on the innkeepers desk before rushing out the door.
