Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hi...Master..." She gave Tibarn a gryphonic grimace and looked down. The floor was a interest combination of tree limbs that were trained to weave in and out of themselves to provide a stable floor, which she pretended to be fascinated with. "So, I wanted to know how you were doing, if you could teach me to fly, and if you knew where Sergrin was." That statement came out as a fast as she could manage while still looking at the floor. Ruri started running her claws though the vines while still facing Maia to see if she wanted anything, not wanting to turn towards her master. " This is Rikku, which you already know, Maia, and Mizu..." She muttered.

"You look familiar..." Tibarn said walking up to Uzimi. "I have seen you before." He said directly face to face with him, "Oh well, it must not have been that important if I don't remember it." He shrugged walking back to Ruri. "I am doing fine, I don't know where Sergrin is, and Why would I help you fly?" He cocked an eyebrow, and waited to here what she had to say.

"We could venture up there if you want." Tai said with a sly smile. "It would be kind of fun." He shrugged. "but we could get caught or in trouble...." He smiled. "All we would really be doing is sturring up a little havoc.

Ruri's eyes widened, and she quickly got up on her hind legs to look at Maia being six foot tall again." How the heck did you do that Maia...and why?" Ruri blinked and shook her head. Then she turned around to look at her master and said " You know who Sergrin is?" She growled a low warring at Mizu...Who now wanted to be called Uzimi. Ruri really didn't trust him now and wanted to be sure he was far enough away from her master. She sighed, then went back to answering her Master's questions. "Well, it was really Rikku's idea for you to teach me how to fly, because your really the only one around who can. It's ok, If you don't want to...I did...run away..." She whispered, scared that he might actually send her away again. Ruri did miss Tibarn, he was pretty much all she had left after Sergrin disappeared and she didn't know if she could take Tibarn rejecting her. She looked down at the floor again, trying to find some matter of comfort in the intricate and familar patterns the vines made.

"I don't really care much for what your quest is for, as lnog as I'm away from that swamp...Got anything to eat here? I've been eating mud trout for the past three weeks."

Mizu was a bit hungry; He hadn't eaten a thing since his plan came into action. He knew since he hadn't caught a disease from the filthy land creatures that their food must be okay to eat as well. However, these were bird like creatures and Mizu didn't want to eat bird seed for a meal. Hopfully the statis of this King would also raise the kinds of foods and drinks he had.

((No she just isn't really doing anything at the current time... other than standing there happy he aggreed to teach her.))

She stood there and blinked at Tibarn for a moment, shivering slightly at the thought of the wing clip but happy for the fact that he didn't tell her to go away. Ruri decided to grin like a gryphon idiot and then spread her wings as her master instructed. "Don't worry Master, I don't plan on disobeying again." Her tail thrashed back in forth in anticipation for further instruction.

((Sorry about forgetting Mizu's name...heh sweatdrop Don't pay attention to the ditz...))

Ruri blushed and started flapping her wings as hard as she could and shot off into the celling. She instinctively corrected the angle of her wings and flew out the window. " Hey, this isn't so hard!" She said laughing. A few seconds latter, Ruri yelldd out because she didn't see the harpy flying in front of her and she crashed heavily into the branches above trying to miss her. "Maybe not..." Ruri corrected as she sank lower on the branch that her wings were fouled in. She wiggled a little, got her wings free, smiled at Tibarn, and took off again.
