Welcome to Gaia! ::

Araima queased his hand to show him she was here for him. As Irana started setting out her fresh baked food, Araima introduced her father and her brother Damyrn.
"You can call him, Ham. I do it all the time. He does like to wallow with the pigs." Darius piped up to Damryn's dismay. This started them bickering back and forth for a minute. Finally the other brother, younger than Darius but older than Ariama, stepped up and clapped Gale on the shoulder.
"Nice to finally meet my sister's lover." he grinned.
"Damyrn!" Araima flushed bright red.
"Alright sit down already and eat. They're probably starving by now." Irana commanded. All listened and gathered around the table to eat.
The smell of the food was enough to replace the last traces of nausea with her growing appetite. It seemed her mother made sure that the conversation remain polite for at least a few more minutes. She was thankful for that. Gale could use a few more moment to prepare himself. However her father Ellis keep a stead eye on Gale.
Finally he spoke. "Gale. I have a few things to ask you." he said, not sounding please. Everyone got quiet.

Ellis nodded and folded his finger before him. "To all our people, having children is a blessing, whatever the circumstances. Children are still too few and far between for us. I'm happy I as was blessed with so many." he started. At those words Irana blushed with pride.
"However," he frowned. "I cannot overlook the fact that you disappeared for all of six months without a word. And that this has happened before. What is to say that the next time you go off, years won't pass till you cross the gate? My grandchild will need a father, no matter what he is."
Araima paled. They knew. The sons looked slightly confused by the words, but Irana and Ellis seemed to know. "How?" she breathed.
"I still have a keen pair of eyes." her father said with amusement.

Ellis sat silently debating. His wife placed a hand on his shoulder while the brother stared at Gale curiously. Finally he spoke at last.
"Very well. I don't really know you and I don't think you are go enough for my daughter."
"Ellis!" Irana scolded to which he almost smiled.
"Then again. I don't believe anyone is. But you seem sincere and I want the child to have his father. So later, when you to sort some more things out, perhaps my family can help with this situation."
"I'm not completely following..." The eldest son spoke up.
Araima took pity on them. "Gale is human and the gates between this place and the human's keeps us from staying together."
Both looked a little stunned. "Oh." then said in unison, staring curiously at Gale again.
Irana leaned over to look as Gale as well. "I'm sorry you weren't received more pleasantly today. I hope that you'll be part of the family soon. Just know that we mean well." she was worried.

Irana smiled. "It's not the first time and probably not the last. It just happens rarely. And remember, not just anyone can pass through the gates." she said with a wink.
Finally one of the boys spoke. ".So... Human huh? What's live like for you? Not to different I'd guess." Damryn said, trying to get the conversation up again.
Araima jumped on the chance to tread in saver waters. "You should tell them. I'd think they'd like it there."

"Really? That's a little odd when you think about it. How do the houses look?" he asked. And so the conversation continued on comfortable ground. Gale sharing information about his world and The brother about theirs. Other than looks they seemed to run similarly. The only different was on being run by technology and the other my magic. However Darius argued that magic could be a type of science and then the conversation turn into another argument between brothers.
Araima listened, contently having eaten her food with a large appetite. She even put in suggestion about certain things. Finally, the the day wore on and both brother claimed they needed to return to their own home and were the first to leave with a friendly clap on the back for Gale and a grin for Araima.
"I think it's time we got back too." Irana suggested,
"If you'll be here tomorrow, I think we can help you two with you situation." Ellis told them.

"Good I will see you..." Ellis as he let the young couple decide. Though he didn't smile, he eyes showed his approval. He liked this man. If this was the man she wanted than he'd accept it.

Araima looked up at her beloved and smiled. "No." she said, overjoyed. "Not at all. My house is yours." she said. She squeezed his hand, and smiled radiantly.

Irana was happy to see her daughter so. She hugged Araima and Gale. "I will see you both tomorrow then. Take care of them for me." she told Gale. Ellis kissed his daughter forehead and clasped hands with Gale. "Treat my daughter well."

Irana smiled and took her husband's arm. "Let's head home." With a last look at the two and a sigh, he nodded. "Alright."
They walked out the door together.
"Well. I'm relieved." she said, standing and stretching a little, her hands resting on her lower back. "It's seems my family overall approves." she told Gale, with a giggled.
