Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryuho nodded smirking. "Marta should have your lunch ready and she is downstairs waiting for you in the bar. Lock the house when you enter the bar. I will come get you when it's over. Have fun with Marta." Ryuho waved Tsubaki off and closed the door to the office.

Ryoho turned at a sharp right angle from the beaten path and bent at the hips to blink at the sneezing thing.
"Master, master, look about you: who goes there, ha? Act I, scene II, the Taming of the Shrew, Bill Shakespeare." Said he mechanically, staring down the small boy a moment before turning his odd posture into a bow. "Hello, fair maiden, who might you be?" His eyes wandered a bit wolfishly to Kon's beautiful food. Might we add Ryoho had not seen food in quite a few days.
Jho had let his ADDesque friend wander ahead of him, and now picked up his pace.
"Ry what are you doing." He muttered, then blinked as the dust cleared and revealed a frail little thing on the grass.
"Uh... mmhh.... hi..." Jho slowly turned to look at Kon funny. Ms. Wilder, his third grade teacher, was the first of many to notice Jho's strange shyness around new people in the comments box of his progress report.

"Kon... Kon isn't a woman," he said, his voice and expression full of confusion. Hoe could they mistake Kon for a woman? Even if Kon was small, he was... flat. And his hair was short. And he... Kon did not look like a woman!! Or, at least, he hoped he didn't. He looked over at the other arrival - apparently the red-head's companion - and smiled a little sheepishly and muttering something about how deffinately not a woman Kon was.

((neh, Syd... did Ryuho tell Marta who Tsu is? because Tsu said his name was Aoi.))
"Right," he said, pouting slightly at the other's tone. How was he to know that? The doors he was aquanted with were quite happy to come aquiped with keys or had spells that had to be used. He frown as he followed the woman, reaching that room he had eaten in before. There was food set - too much, he thought, for two people, even if Ryuho were exceptionaly ravinous. He began to eat, slowly though, mainly just picking at his food. He wasn't feeling too hungry and he was a little grumpy.

Tsubaki shrugged. "It's not too different from the old days, I suppose..." He eyes the woman for a moment before he spoke again. "Did Ryuho tell you...?" he asked. He had forgotten to put his cap back on, although the majority of his markings were hidden, but his eye was quite obvious, as well as the face markings that would most definately nothing any tattoo artist could render quite so well.

"Kon is not a thing," he said in an offended tone. If he had had his ears, they would have been angled back to the extreme, a clear sign of his displeasure. "Kon is Kon." He couldn't beleive it. That man - the weirdo red-head - seemed to find Kon weird. Maybe he needed to get in touch with himself.

Tsubaki shrugged. He didn't exactly care what game they played, as long as it proved interesting and had rewards. The woman's words had left an impression on him, but he didn't show it outwardly, prefuring to keep any revelations or thoughts on the inside.

"Right... I'll... be visiting Ella today, anyway." Ella... that had been his nickname for his fiance, Ellian, before they had grown too old for nicknames and children's games... Once again, Ryuho's face appeared as a mask of coldness, one that Tsubaki could esily match. He had barely touched his food, but was finished already. He sighed, sitting back and closing his eyes breifly before they opened again, one bright and lively, the other cold and dead.
