Welcome to Gaia! ::

Karma eyed the spot where her hut had been again, "Ah, it's no use right now." She muttered to herself. "Even if I could fix it, the ash would definatly make it harder. I might as well let it settle." Re-enforcing this in her mind, the girl jogged towards the sand bar.

As she got closer to said sandbar, she noticed a figure, standing near it. The guardian, she assumed, seeing as there were only guardians and Aerandir on the islands, looked like she was...waiting? Not sure if she was waiting for her, or someone else, Karma sped up a bit until she was only a few feet away. She looked down at her jars, they were safe, good. A moment later, she noticed the dog running around in the sand and ash, she giggled a little. "He's certainly full of energy." She finally decided to say, then gazed farther down the sand. "Are you, going down to explore as well?" Karma hoped that she was, it would be much nicer to go down with others, than to go by herself.

Karma turned her head to see a somewhat familiar face. It was the lady who had let her help with the buckets of water. Taking note of her statement, Karma inspected the sandbar. "It doesn't seem too far," She squinted a bit, and could make out a very vauge dark green blobs- which she guessed was the island's trees- at the other end of the natural bridge that had formed over the two islands.

Giving the sandbar futher inspection lead Karma to realise that it did not only connect just two islands. "I just noticed something, we're connected to two islands." She rubbed her eyes, and squinted at the small island once again. "I wonder which island it is." Her statements weren't to either Emi or Wyv in specific, but to both of them.

Glancing from the sandbar to Anthony and then back again, Wyv sighed. There was a flaw in that argument somewhere, but dammit, she was too tired to think of it. Besides, although she was very curious as to what lay beyond, this was the perfect opportunity to bow out gracefully and maybe sneak a nap before te reconstruction phase was in full swing. And she didn't really want to undermine Anthony's authority. She hadn't seen much of the guy, but he looked to be trying his best.

"He does have a point," she admitted, rolling the words in her mouth as if she wasn't sure she liked the taste. "How about we meet at the lodge in an hour or two. We can help repair and clean up. Then when it's done, we can mount a fully prepared expedition. Make a holiday of it, or something. After this whole schebang, looks like we and the people on the other island could use one." The other populated island was closer to the volcano, wasn't it. Well, crap. That sucked.

It was the first time the duo had really ventured towards the western side of Ar'Idil in quite some time, paranoia after the volcanic eruption not long ago had made Chao more than a little unwilling to approach Ar'Idil's own [supposedly] dorment volcaneo.

But here they were, situated up in the northernly watch tower.

Sanar looked out across the towards the large patch of green and pointed to it, hands pausing in the systematic distruction of one of Chao's old shirts, "n' tha'?" she's gotten a hold on very basic english by now, though sometimes fell back into clicking anyway.

"That's the forest, you went in there when you were a gryphon, remember?"

"Mmm..." she did, sortof, but now there was a name to place with it. "F'res," she repeated before glancing down and grinning as she noticed she'd pulled apart the lower half of the sleve. Taking the sleeve in both hands she pulled until the fabric began to come apart, the stitching that made it up much more obvious to the naked eye than before.

Chao sighed and mourned the loss of another good shirt.

Sanar's ears flickered at the catches of sound on the wind and paused in her spreading of the fabric.

"'Lo?" she called back, reinforcing the call with a click incase it was one of her friends.

"Someone there San?" Chao asked, trusting her daughter's hearing better than her own.

"Oh, hello there!" Chao called warmly as Karma moved into view. "Mmm, yes, just myself and Sanar here. You're welcome to join us if you'd like, erm.. miss..." the other woman looked very familar but she couldn't place a name to the face.

Sanar's ears flickered throughout the exchange and she set the shirt to the side, shuffling off her mother's lap to crouch on more stable ground and look at the new woman. Her eyes caught upon the jar in Karma's arms and her wings fluttered in interest. Another smooth! Like the one Makai had come from!

"It's nice to meet you Karma. I'm Chao and yep, this is Sanar, my Aerandir child," catching sight of the jar Chao brightened, "aha! I see you're an Aerandir guardian as well," she bent over to get a better look, only to be shooed off slightly by a fluff of Sanar's wings.

Huffing the teen rolled her eyes at her charge and merely resumed standing and looking at the jar, "if you don't mind me asking, what animals make up your Aerandir to be?" she asked, not recognizing either of the items held within the singgle jar.

Sanar grinned as the jar was shifted closer to her, reaching up as high as she could to touch it gently with her new hands, grinning at how much more she could feel with the tips of her fingers compared to the beak she'd used to have.

She shot a look towards her often treasure depriving mother and flapped her wings to keep her away. Then turned back to feeling the jar. Yep, it was definately another smooth like Makai's. She tugged on it gently, wanting to hold it.
