Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fae shivered again as a cold night wind breeze sweapt past. She hugged her jar now that could keep her warm. Hearing Osero's voice suddenly made her jump slightly from such straining silence and snapped her head in his direction. "Oh, no, it's fine," she polietly spoke. "All clean?" She somewhat grined and looked at his hands.

She held the picture back up for him and leaned off from the wall the stand up straight. Even when she stood as tall as she could, he still was taller. x.x "Hey, can I ask you a couple questions..?" She asked shyly, giving a half smile.

Fae held back an amused giggle. She could tell he really liked it.

"Oh..well," she thought and digged for the questions again. "Were you the first Aerandir on Cetalu?" She asked all in one question. She thought he could answer a few more questions within the one she gave him without dumping more all onto him at once and embaressing herself.

Fae trompled the ground a bit in one position, switching onto her right foot and applying her body weight to it. She couldn't say she was exactly full of energy, but she would do anything to find out more about Osero and Aerandirs in perticular. And seeing how friendly and open this wolf/eagle was, she took her chance.

Fae cocked her head. "Ooh. Who's Acia?" Just then, she remembered the other shadow she saw earlier and the flicker of something in Alyosha's house. It all started to come together. "So...you wern't raised by one person," she thought aloud.

A great deal of curiosity was flowing through her before she bit her lip. "I'm sorry if I'm asking too much," she mumbled. "If you have any questions for me-" Who would want to even ask about her? She merely laughed mentally and meekly smiled at Osero. Her feet begun to get tired and she switched her weight to one foot again. "Pueblo should be due soon. I'm really excited. She's half wolf too, so maybe there's a few things I should know from a half wolf as yourself so I can better take care of her," she stated proudly.

Fae smiled widely and looked down to her jar warmly. "Of course," she murmured in a trance. She knew she had more questions for him, but they either slipped from her mind or just decided to wait for them. She was satisfied and didn't want to overwhelm him. Afterall, befriending an Aerandir is an accomplishment, she was starting to reconize him no more different than a big hairy person with wings.

"Well, I hope you like your sketch I did for you of you," she piped up and changed the topic. "It's getting later, and I should probably take Sage and Ombre back home," she sighed, wishing she didn't. "I hope I'll see you at the Valentine's party tomorrow?" This time, her smile was more relaxed and less formal- it was a smile behind the glasses, sort-of-speak.

Inle nodded sympathetically. "I'm sure it's not easy for her, being, ya know...the incarnation of lust and all. And so young, too, and around all those adorable boys!" Inle chuckled. "She's a great kid though, and I'm sure things will all work out in the end." Of course, Inle had no basis for this observation, but it felt somehow right to say.

She blinked down at the little critter on her lap, beginning to pet it as one might a very small kitten.

Nehanda quickly righted her head and hurried after Acia with an excited "merp!" The older Aerandir could move much more quickly, but the little gryphon flew gamely after. She couldn't wait to reach her gardens, to see what sort of spell-casting Acia would perform, but this was certainly a fun way to get there!

Foenix followed slowly behind, happy to see Nehanda so enthusiastic. Acia's laughter was refreshing to hear as she led Nehanda on a fun little chase. All sorts of questions were flying through her head about Acia's life, and there were many pertaining to general Aerandir growth. Perhaps, once Acia was finished in the garden, she'd be feeling relaxed enough to answer some of them.

Foenix grinned and hastened her steps to catch up with the two Aerandir. "Well, welcome to our humble home," she said to Acia as they all reached the front porch. she was about to continue, when a flutter of red wings beside the door caught her eye. Foenix looked up, past Acia and Nehanda, and gaped at the adorable little cherub sitting on her doorstep.

"Um, Acia, it looks like there's someone waiting for me. Why don't I have Nehanda show you over to the garden while I go see who that is? Sorry, I hate to be rude, but she looks like she's been waiting for a while."

Nehanda merped loudly and began to fly clumsy loop-the-loops toward the east end of the house. Yes! Her garden was waiting for them!

Foenix walked up to the child. "Hi there. Can I help you?"

The little girl giggled and held out a note. "I'm Nahda!" she piped in a high-pitched voice.


Foenix's eyes widened, and she nodded slowly. "Um, okay. Well, welcome to our family, sweetie. Would you like to meet some of the others?"

Nahda nodded, and they crossed over to where Nehanda was flying eagerly around her garden plots.
