Welcome to Gaia! ::

((its on the island, although throughout the lifespan of this guild, many have assumed that it was below the island and have jumped into it. Lets just say that there is a lake on the island and one beneath it as well, then everyone's right.))

Bran was laughing so hard, his stomach was starting to pain him, and tears were forming at the edges of his eyes. Slowly he calmed and his laughter ebbed away. At the sight of the girls' aftermath reaction, he almost broke out in laugher again, but he refrained and stood, arms folded across his chest and head tilted upwards. He seemed about to answer when he suddenly turned on his heel and disappeared into the castle.

Serene sighed, rolling her eyes and pulled at Breeze's sleeve.

"Guess the only thing to do now is to find our way in. Hopefully we can find him again, or preferably someone not so... him"

She started around the castle, not wanting to fly since using the abilities took some of the fun out of the having to find things the hard way part of exploring.She turned back only shortly to make sure that Breeze was following her.

Breeze laughed at Serene's comment and followed her around the castle. Spotting an entrance ahead, she pointed, "Should we go in there or should we look around out here first?"

Serene though a moment, weighing the urges to look around and explore the outsides versus going in and finding someone so as to learn more about this place. Exploring wins.

"Let's make a full circle and then come back. See what's around this place. We know where the entrance is so we know we'll be ablt to get in, less of course the entrance decides to move."

She says that last jokingly, imagining disappearing doors and changing properties of the building.

Serene nods and starts off around the castle. The barrier between water and air surrounded the whole castle and it's grounds which consisted of a courtyard and gardens and a field of flowers and grass. No buildings from the village were within the bubble, which Serene founs a little odd. Why was it that whatever sunk this land preserved only the castle, and no other buildings? Was the village not just as important as the castle itself? When she saw the fields and gardens, Serene clapped in joy at it's beauty. The plants within them were different though, not regular grass and flowers, but she couldn't exactly voice the difference. They just were. There were no other entrances as they circled the building.

Rowan had watched as Bran had turned away from the girls and strode into the castle. His lack of chivalry was in stark contrast to Rowan's own... but Rowan could not simply allow a pair of girls into their castle. He watched them, followed them, listened to their conversation and contemplated who they were and what their intentions were.

One girl's preference to seeing the rest of the island over coming into the castle offered Rowan two sides of a coin - either she was an explorer, and harmless, or she came as a scout, to find the weakest points of the castle in order to take it. If the first, he could let them be, they didn't need his interference. If the second, it was better to drive them off as quickly as possible. The castle wasn't without its protectors.

But looking at these girls, he couldn't find the latter true. The former was most likely correct. Just in case - he decided to touch down and do a little more personal recon. He and Lilo landed out of sight of them, behind a cluster of great boulders on the other side of the garden, out of view of the garden itself. Lilo shifted once more into a pointer and blinked up at Rowan expectantly.
'Well?' She mind-spoke impatiently.
Rowan nodded and walked with her out from behind the boulders and stepped lightly onto a narrow stone walk that wound its way through the garden. His eyes were set on the two girls, as were Lilo's as she followed after him like a loyal hound.
