Welcome to Gaia! ::

"yes, the warm water, the slight soothing currents, the softly moist air. i can't resist most of the time either." he turned around for the first time, still sitting on the rock. "i'm myth, what's your name?" his pupil-less white-less blue eyes watched her. in one hand he held a pencil, and in the other was a pad of paper with half a picture on it.

"well, it is a pleasure to meet you miss Cere" he said, giving slight bow as best as he cood from his seat. he idley clicked the pencil against the edge of the rock, but was surprise at her question. he had been lost in thought again, of everything. what to do tonight, what homework he still had, what the weather would be like, gee she had beautiful hair, how am i going to get down from here, i wonder if she's let me draw her, the springs seem a bit cooler today, ect.ect. and a great many other ideas, plans, and questions. "eh, just some doodles." he went to hand her the pd of paper, the beginings of a kitsune girl were on the paper. she had on a long ballroom gown, but the fine detais of what would eventualy be lace, and other minute details were absent. there was a stick figure of her dance partner next to her, but had yet to be drawn.

"hmm?" myth looked into the bushes. it took him a little while, but soon he saw a girl hiding there. "'ello there....come on out...we won't hurt you." he looked at her couriously, is she a student here?...she looks so young... maybe she's a slittle sister of someone... "what's your name?"

Joy sighed happily as she slipped into the steamy waters of the hotsprings. Her lime green eyes glowing liek fireflys,and her hair was for once neatly done up in a bun. Little mango ornaments hanging from the chopsitcks Joy used to hold all her hair up. It could proubly supply a village of bald men with a new set of hair. ((XD))

The heat made Joy flush slightly,the color even seen through her tanned skin. She held up her hands to form a small fire orb,setting it softly on the water, though it wasn't put out. Soon there were many little orbs of soft fire bobbling in the water.

Joy smiled softly giggling to herself as she became memorized by the beauitful site,it looked like the water was an ocean of fire,as light bounced off the surface of the water. Her yellow cat ears perked up as she watched the small orbs dancing around in the water to a silent music.

myth sat on the rock stil, just letting his tail stir the water slightly as he was lost in his notebook again. but something caught his attention, something warm touched his tail, he looked down to see a small orb of fire. he puzzled at it, but then saw another, and another float across the water. from his perch he could see them all around in the water. "wow..." he exclaimed quietly to himself as he ripped his previous picture out and began scetching the new scene. he shifted fo a full view, but then noticed someone new. the little girl from before was over near her. "ello, there." he said trying to see who it was.

The surprise of Joy coming and well, leaping out of the water came as a shock. What could the little one do but be tackled and hugged against tightly? A quickly brightening flush came to both cheeks, Joy's still wet body pressed tightly. "H-Hey! That's...I...eh..." was about all that came out from the young one's mouth, followed by a sort of whimper. But even so, a little, light smile krept over those lips. When Joy finally took her attention to someone else and leaped off, she left this one laying on the ground, dress wet, and in a bit of a daze. "Ah...uh..." eyes blinking, the somewhat short figure sat up a bit, breathing deeply. "H...H-Hey..." was said with a blush. Still trying to relax, the child reached out slightly, eyes a little narrowed. "Hey, what about..." the child almost said before being stopped when a hand was felt. "I see...so you are here...little one." it was a man, seemingly out of no-where, dressed in a white suit.

A deep set of blue, ethereal like eyes slowly glanced down at the smaller form. They then glanced toward Joy with a smile on his face. "I see you...are here as well Joyous..." he took several steps past the little one, a very slight smile upon his face. "Hmhmhm...and enjoying yourself, I take it." he tilted his head a little, his eyes set mostly on Joy and well...not the others. "Pray tell...am I interrupting anything? Has...Hope caused any trouble, here?" his expression was a serene one, as was the very gentle, soft tone of his voice. Yet, there was a very distinctness to the calm, perhaps because of how -very- calm he seemed.
