Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Is that for your project? I remember reading the topic recently.)

Connor walked up to Mina, staring into Nina's room for a moment before looking to her mother. "She wanted to give Revenir and I second chances. Your husband didn't trust me, but you saw what she saw, didn't you?" He asks, being that both Eric and Mina now knew how daughter's plans for Revenir.

When Arteria had gotten word of this story, she was amazed and intrigued by Nina even more than she once was. A damaged foundation crystal, could she really repair it, even rebirth someone from it? It was in worse shape than Connor's arm. Not to mention, made of dark crystal matter. It was unnatural, then again, wasn't Nina and Connor?

Eloquin and her brother Leloud had also managed to show up at Mina's door. Much to Elric and the other's surprise that she found their whereabouts. Did she ever have a bombshell of her own for Elric. She was pregnant, and it was his child. Elric, unable to take the news fainted on the spot.

Normally, Benjamin would laugh at Elric if it wasn't for the fact Alva had shown up with Dolan and Diana. Unlike the rest of their children she decided to show up. Normally he would try his best to stay away from her, but Ben was slowly getting used to her. So long as he could breathe of course.

(I don't normally buy things on Gaia so I could try to donate if you want.)

Gena nodded and took Skylar with her. She cooed at her baby brother. "We have to be very quiet, Skylar."

"Your daughter literally saw that side of me once with her visions." He replies, clutching his crystal arm. He waited after everything had calmed down and Mina returned before he continued. "I don't know how to show you my gratitude for everything other than saying thank you. I don't know where things will go for us, but I'd like to be around a bit longer in your daughter's life. That is, if you're alright with that. I, want to see how this all goes with Revenir. And we have our own unfinished business." He answered, though there was so much more to it than that. Connor had formed actual feelings for Nina as of late.

At the news, both Lorene and Derrick were also stunned. "He's going to have a lot of explaining to do." Said Derrick the only one not in hysterics was Eloquin, she was smiling and giggling, something Leloud had not seen in a long time till their party showed up at his doorstep.

The way Mina hugged Connor felt very familiar and inviting. He had nothing more to say, simply to head follow Mina's lead and head back to what now felt like a party. He'd rather be off on his own or in Nina's room, but this was probably for the best. He had to get to know these people. Arteria seemed to take a liking to him, but he could not help she saw him more of a project rather than a person sometimes.

Eric on the other hand was with Gena and Skylar. He had mixed opinions of this, if only because of his daughter's rash decisions. But from what he had gotten from Connor, it wasn't the boy's doing, and it was a race against time for the third crystal child.

Benjamin gave a flat look to Turada. "I'm trying to get it out of her system now. Besides, both Diana and Lirra are watching. Mom wouldn't let her do anything to me."

(I know, happened to me as well this is everyone there right now besides Turada, Elric, Benjamin, Farad, Mina, Nina, Gena, Skylar & Eric:

Eloquin & Leloud - That girl they met in Quintu when they were getting the Forge Hammer. They spent a night there, she liked Elric.

Alva - Diana and Dolan's daughter, the amazonian that had a crush on Benjamin back on Quatour.

Arteria - The one that created Nina's formula and placed her into Mina's body.

Lirra & Farley - Benjamin and Farad's parents. Mina's sister, Eric's best friend.

Lorene & Derrick - Elric's parents. Eric's Uni Ex-girlfriend and brother.

Diana & Dolan - Met Mina and Eric on their adventures. Diana's a waitress from Quatour and Dolan's a hunter from Duon.)

Eric blinked and turned to Mina, he extended his arm out to her and held her while holding Skylar in the other. "Just worried about our eldest. When I thought she said she would do you journey in a month as well, I didn't think she'd also put parenthood in her things to do. But Connor explained it enough to me that she had no other option to save that girl. Least she has us to help her through it if she wants the help."

"Neither do are their kids." Answered Benjamin as flatly as the look he continued to give Turada. He didn't like his words, not one for liking to be jinxed and all.

(And now I'm not sure when would be a good time to end this story anymore, lol.)

He slowly began to rub the arm of his wife and sighed. "Yeah, I think she did the right thing too."

Eventually, everyone left. All but for Connor and Arteria, who was still fascinated by Nina, Connor and now Revenir. Reluctantly, she did leave. Mainly because she was without her instruments. Surely she would have her chance another day, and to study Nina's 1st pregnancy.

For now, Connor was in the living room, watching Skylar play with his toys. It was the first time he actually ever took the time to watch a child do something. They seemed so...simple...

(Maybe, I'm willing to keep this going to there's a right moment. So long as we don't accidentally cause a Concept 1+2+3, lol.)

Force of habit caused Connor to jump and look to whom touched him. Luckily it was just a familiar smiling face. "Oh, thank you." He said to Mina. He headed to Nina's room, finding her exactly as her mother mentioned. She was stuffing her face fool of food. "You always eat this way?"

"Arteria is going to love hearing you explain that. If you were able to do something like that to your body, I didn't think you would stop so short." Connor shook his head. Nina had the ability to speed this up, or at least had. There was still so many unsolved mysteries about her. He leaned against her door and watched her pat the bump, would they call this a second chance in the making? "Aside from a party, nothing more to it than that. Glad you at least have your memories of everything before you passed out."
