Welcome to Gaia! ::

The old man chuckled at both things Breena had said. "It's a shell of what it once was, for sure, but somehow it seems better off this way. Once the majority of people left and the damned place was reduced to rubble the big problems seemed to disappear with it. There were still problems, there always are, no amount of simple destruction solves all problems, but now those problems have faded over time." He was silent fr a moment then as he considered his words. "I have been a member of this Gaian Ninja Academy since it was founded, I wouldn't consider myself keeping the legacy alive, and i'm not sure if anyone else is here. There is a system of tunnels below us that stretches for miles. There are all sorts of sounds that travel about that I dont recognize, and I have not traveled into the nearby woods to check on the other small training dojo's for signs of life. I mainly just sit here, reflecting on the past, and searching the rubble for secrets that should not see the light of day ever again." He realized he had said a lot, and fell silent as he crept up the stairs of the porch, and opening the main entrance doors which creaked loudly.

Zekial paused behind Breena, wondering what was keeping her from entering behind Fujiwara. He had an unconscious Reis to put down and rest. As she asked of invite Zekial's mind raced, his eyes widening as he accessed his movie knowledge. "Breena." he said quietly, his voice unmistakably filled with awe and respect even a little excitement. "Are you a vampire?"

If not for the fact that her eyes weren't open currently the group would see her rolling her eyes at Zekial's statement. "I thought you didn't believe in magic? Besides you were with me while I was in daylight remember?" she started walking in after the official invitation was extended. Pondering for a moment how he accepted the old man's appearance, given the small glimpse of a cat-like smell she had picked up from him and his blood, and vampires while not believing in magic. As she stepped through the door she felt a small tug on the back of her coat, as if something clinging to it met some resistance, before it vanished quickly. "There are reasons to abide by the rules of hospitality, and even though this is an academy it has the... feel... of someone's home."

She nodded her thanks to the old man before looking around at the other furniture, taking a moment before finding a chair to uncover before she sat down in it after a few quick sniffs and a once over with her gloved hand to make sure it was in good condition.

the old man watched as the exchange took place, instead of offering any real response he just chuckled at the two and moved past to the old fireplace. bending low he built a small fire the old fashioned way. After he was satisfied with how it burnt he stood, stretched, and turned back to the two. "I will make us some food now, feel free to relax if you'd like. When i return we will wake Reis and palaver truly." He went to move past the two but stopped and touched a hand to Zekial's arm. "You'll learn in time." he said simply before making his way into the kitchen.

Zekial made no reply, he felt better by her words, but bad still as his outbursts as of late had not been pleasing for his friends. He sat on the floor at the end of the couch Reis lay on and pondered his last meal, he usually just brought with him a lunch on journeys out of town, tuna on white usually, but he had forgotten his lunch back at home. While Zekial was silent, his stomach let out a roar of hunger.

She had to stifle a laugh at Zekial's stomach making itself known. She enjoyed the scent of the cooking food, knowing if it didn't turn out as good as it smelled then she could always share her remaining ration bars. "It probably won't be too long of a wait now." Her eyes remained closed and she brushed her hands through her hair. "I suppose after we eat then you'll need to get to work."

She had a silly little smile on her face as she said "Maybe we drop Reis in a tub of cold water once you've got the plumbing issues sorted if he's still being lazy."

From the kitchen the sound of cooking continued, the scent of cooking veggies dimmed and a sweeter smell issued forth. More scraping noises still rang out from time to time. Whatever he was making in there, he sounded as if he was moving fast. Every nw and again there would sound a small bang, an old man curse, or a string of laughs (ha-ha-hoo-hee!).
