Welcome to Gaia! ::

((^^ That mask...causes a lot of trouble, doesn't it?))

"I see..." Not entirely convinced.

Usha looked at the mask and felt a wild surge of adrenalin. This would be the first time out opf the palance since she arrived four years ago. Breifly, she thought of making herself look like Naga the Serpent, just becuase it would have been fun to freak people out.

Instead, she put on the mask and simply changed her hair to a dark brown, and tanned her skin a little. It would be a big enough change that no one would really notice. She bowed, smiled, and left.

"I have a feeling like she knew it was comming."

She rubbed at the back of her neck, almost paying Onyx's physicall connection no mind. "But she looked so serene, laying as she was." She sighed. "I don't know..Meilikki was always saying things like 'won't be around forever' and 'when I'm gone, will you do such and such for me'."

She shrugged. "I haven't relaly had tome to be doing things anyway."

She shrugged. "S'Fine. Lifes to short for that anymore."

"And no thanks, I'm not really into the 'girly' leisures at the moment."

She rubbed at an arm. "Thanks. I guess."

And he chose to rub her arm instead of play with her hair. She appreciated his thoughtfulness seeing as her head was pounding and it wouldn't be very hard to accidentally brush his fingers over that sore spot and cause her a lot of unneeded pain. He was far too good to her sometimes. "Yes, I do. At least the ribbon binding part. I want something tangible to prove to myself that all of this really did happen and I just felt all fluttery inside when Malik and Piper did it. It was like magic but so much stronger..." She traced her fingers along his knee lightly. "It was...beautiful."

He allowed Keely to take him inside and walk-ran with his egg bundled carefully in his cloak. He caught sight of his parents in the living area and moved his hands behind his back then came in slowly. Stopping in front of them, he tilted his head. "Wanna see what I got?" Excitement shining in his eyes.

"Really? Hmm, might have to talk to Lateef then." He'd do it, she was certain about that. And then they could be married and not worried about any of this other stuff. An image was quickly forming in her mind though she blinked at their son as he appeared and had that mischevious gleam in his eye. "Why don't you just show us?"

He rolled his eyes. "You're supposed to try and guess Daddy. You too Mommy." Had to tell parents everything, didn't you? It seemed that way. He carefully pulled the cloak around so it was facing them and then gently unwrapped it. "It's my egg! I get to keep it by me when I sleep and one day it will hatch and I will have a draithix!"

"Yeah, I know these kinds of things." But back to the child. Oh good...nothing horrid behind the child's back. "Got your egg already did you? That's right efficent, good show son." Reaching over and patting his son on the head. "You have to be careful not to break that. Part of being responsible you know." Letting his fingers trail to Zahara's neck to gently rub at the back of it in soothing manner. Good for headaches.

"You always want to torture him with your so called humor. Then again it would be funny...that is if he didn't go on the defensive." But a chuckle at the mention of cookies for all. "I know they went riding a day or two ago. They're probably just having thier fun exploring and such before they have to go back. Planning to have dinner or something before they go?"

"Cookies!" Yay he won again. He was soooo good at this. Though he wasn't too interested in the conversation on the Rainsongs. There were more important thoughts in his little head. "Mommy, daddy, how come Zahara asked me if I wanted a brother or sister? Are we getting one?" To him, those could be gotten like the way Lharika had been gotten.

He blinked a moment and then smiled. "I told her it'd be fun, because then I would have a little brother or sister and I get to take care of them like Zykariel takes care of me and stuff because I'm older and I can teach them all the fun things too. Like walking on your hands." Which he was quite proficent at. "Am I getting one?"

Piper on the other hand, wasn't so pleased with the child knowing. There had been a point to her not wanting to tell the child before firm decisions were made. Children expected things when you told them they may happen...she didn't want to get his hopes up and then only have the child be disappointed with the lot of them over lack of results. "She asked you did she now? Well...me and daddy were thinking about having another baby." Let's get it over with.

Smile from him. "Neat. When?"

"if things went like they needed too, about a year and a half. but we need Zahara's help, and she's being stubborn about it."

yes, get teh child to also badger the woman. a Malik plan if ever there was one.

"It's not quite so easy as how your grandfather got Lark. she was adopted, and we're not trying for an adoption to get another baby."


A slight smirk.

"Why go after someone else, when such a big cute adorable vah is right here?"

giving those big lovable cat eyes and purring lightly under his breath. yes they were bantering back and forth but it was fun to tease eachother sometimes.

Zahara studied the egg for a moment then nodding. "Good choice, looks like he or she will be strong and healthy. But your father is right. You need to take good care of it." She glanced up at Sevilin for a moment, before catching his other hand and lacing her fingers through his. That neck motion was feeling quite nice. "Little one, are you ready to go home? Mommy has a really bad headache and all she wants is reverie..."

He puffed up from the praise he recieved and then deflated all over again. "No...I don't want to go..." But the look on his mother's face and at hearing she was in pain, he nodded. "Okay. We can go as long as you promise we'll come back tomorrow." He had questions to ask of his father and then a note to write.
