Welcome to Gaia! ::

He watched as she tried to figure out how to shut it off, his ears folding as it suddenly got louder, it buzzed annoyingly and the screen fuzzed. Whatever this thing was, he really didn't like it much anymore.. if he had liked it at all in the first place. Reika was hiding more under the pillow the more frightening noises came from the box... but he sighed as the demon returned, Hayaharu howled againa nd reverted back to her hidden state.

Reika continued to give wahhing sounds, probably loud to herself but not that loud to Koni from where he was and how the pillow was covering her up. But he didn't like her being so afraid of something that he felt wouldn't come out to touch either female, he pushed himself to his feet and went over to the thing.

Now... how to work it? His face settled into one of extreme concentration as he fiddled with a few things, each one not giving him the results he wanted. This... was damn annoying. Finally, he just whacked a series of buttons with a hand and some of them was apparently the right one since it finally shut itself off, the noise disappeared as well as the image. "There... hopefully, that'll work..." From now on, he was going nowhere near a contraption that looked like that again.

"Aye.. tis turned off now so ye can come out..." He looked over to see Yue's feet sticking out from under the pillow Reika was hiding under, slowly getting her to come out, his hair messed up as well as her headdress but she was looking all right.. except wide eyed and casting the tv doubtful looks. That was really scary.

Koni gave Chu a firm look when she came in with the breakfast tray. She better not find anything amusing by what she was seeing.. after the crap she pulled the day before, he was not in the mood for her humor. Nor did he truly see anything funny. Going over to Hayaharu, he extended a hand down to her. "here.. allow me to help ye up so ye can eat before the food gets cold."

Reika was shaking and once Koni was sure Hayaharu was seated confortably, he had to calm her down by lightly stroking her back with his thumb. It wasn't an everyday thing.. seeing something that freaked out Reika this much and he was rather unhappy about that. He would have to make sure that no tvs were ever near Reika again... or Hayaharu, apparently. He said nothing as Chu returned and fixed Hayaharu's hair. Least sometimes the maid could do her job.

Sitting down himself, he smoothed his hair lightly before he took up his cup of tea and sipped it. "Yes, my sleep was rather good indeed. Actually, it sees I have slept in.. Reika had to awaken me... which never happens. How about yerself? Did ye sleep well?" Reika was getting edgy even as she hesitantly sipped her tea and he knew she was doing her best to be polite but she wanted to ask. He hoped she would wait a bit longer so that Hayaharu could eat.

Naturally, Reika didn't eat a lot of the food. Since she wasn't overly big, she didn't need huge portions, even though the food was delicious. So while she hate her part, Yue ate the other. The girl felt it was rather rude to leave food behind, especially when someone else was kind enough to make it for her. She and yue started chttering softly to each other, talking about how it was defintely different than what they ate back home, but it was just as good.

"I'm on who tends to have things that need to get done. I get enough sleep ususally.. just so much travel back and forth between home and here is a bit taxing. Alas, not much can be done about it." He ate slowly, enjoying every bite placed before him. It was rather well made. "And always tis best to keep away unwanted spirits.. since there are so many of them about... or so it feels heh."

"In normal terms,I would be inclined to agree.. yet there are things that must be done before I can find time to get a full and restful sleep. Though last night has been amazing refreshing and I am feeling better already... but.." He looked down at his drink, his eyes focused on it before he took another deep sip of it. "I had another dream about yer city... I feel that unless I go there, I will nay get another restful night's sleep anyway." A rueful smile twerked his lips. "Dinnae worry, I have had worse. I'll definately be fine... as long as I'm active."

He had noticed that it was getting less and less violent out, which was good. maybe it wouldn't be a hassle to let Reika peer out over the pack as they travelled today. He didn't want to risk her flying out and hurting herself like she could have last night. Noticing that she was looking at Reika and Yue, he smiled down at them. It was hard for him to be hesitant around those two.. probably because they were already too cute. He had to remember to take Reika to the Druid's Grove whenever they had a free moment.. she knew she needed to go there as well.

"Thank ye for yer kindness.. I'll be sure to remember it should I be in this area again." And since he was tended to be guided around at times, he very well might.

He was more curious about her city than the mountain. Reika was the one fascinated with it right then but she also wished to see the city. For some reason, in his dreams, that city made him feel... it gave him the same feeling as his old home did, which was an odd thing to feel since his home was not a city in any way, shape or form. He hated feeling homesick but he did... he missed his home more than anything. And he doubted that anyone could truly understand his feelings... unless they themselves were trapped in a place away from their home as well.

If they had never met Hayaharu, seen her fan or soon learn information about the city and the range itself.. though first the city since she was more inclined to speak of it then the Gates of Hell she had mentioned before, he wouldn't have been able to sleep. The need to figure out his dream would have kept him up weeks or months, pouring over mountains of books. He was stubborn and even worse when it came to important things. But he wasn't about to mention something like that. "Tis fine if tis cold. I can properly bundle up before such a journey.. though I would need to go home first and properly prepare. To me, weather doesn't really matter... I need to see yer city... and I doubt that there's any better time than the present, aye?"

At the news that the city had locked its gates, he looked a bit lost. "Why would the city lock itself up like that? Did something happen?" He caught her look of homesickness and he felt horrid for her. She knew that feeling that he fought with constantly. He didn't look up from his rice bowl that he was nursing for a long moment, trying not to think about his home too much.. or the fact he was probably cut off rom it for the rest of his life. But he was stubborn to a fault and nothing was about to stop him. Hell, he had tracked her down in that horrid weather even though he hadn't wanted to! That had to say something.

"So.. are ye saying that there is another way of getting into the city? I would think that a simple lock would keep someone like ye away from the town ye love so much... or am I wrong?" There was a faint sparkle in his eye before he looked at her. "Is there anything special about the city.. like a place no one is allowed entrance into?" He was still thinking about what kinds of questions to ask and since they were finally getting to learn something, Reika calmed down.
