Welcome to Gaia! ::

She smiled at the creatures reaction to her stare. She had never seen a creature so...so...cute! It had wings but was not a horrifing flying demon, a bird. And had physical features of a feline, which she always found appealing even as a young child. And when it bowed her eyes widen in amazement. She could feel her hands twitching, she wanted to pet the amazing animal but still has kinda of frighten on how it would react.

Guardian stood straight and tilted his head upward as if to stare towards Taizen. Instead he just kind of snorts and folds his wings against his back. Ears suddenly perked as a second snort was given, the feline's nose twitching. Quickly the feline darted in a few quick circles before bolting off the way they had came. Well not far really.

As Niima grew close she decended, seeing ...well..a group of people but obvious it was Guardian with them which mean Taikai and Taizen wasn't far. A few feet above ground she shifted the glider to where a arm was bent into it, balancing the glider on her decend. She chuckled when she saw Guardian and with trust in the feline she yanked the glider so that the glider's wings and tail folded into the staff. She landed on the large feline's back with a small grunt, left hand holding out the staff while the right steadied herself. As Guardian turned and headed towards the ground she shifted the staff into it's place against her back and into the staff-sheath. With that done she shifted the new rucksack to be more comfortable then placed both hands on the tuff around Guardian's neck.

As the duo approached, Guardian slowed until he stopped between the two benders. Niima's enigmatic mismatched eyes regarding both cautiously but still the warm smile remained on her lips.

Fulgar laughed aloud and said to him "yeah, im a little cold. My coat got ripped open by my friend a mile down the mountain" Fulgar explained the story of his and Kurai's spar and how she'd ripped the sleeve of his coat.

Fulgar watched the peculiar creature bow to Kurai and he let out a small laugh and a grin at watching the thing bow to her and the waterbender's surprise.

Fulgar crooked his head and popped his neck he lowered the scythe from his shoulder and walked off with it balanced in his hands. He looked along the stone walls of the temple, the entricatly cut stone gave off the feel of pure craftsman ship. The rock felt smooth beneath the palm of his hand his. His breath crystallized before his eyes. He asked again "Do you guys know where I could find another coat? Preferably knee length."

Fulgar looked at his feet, ashamed. "Kurai, you dont understand. I'm not cold..." Fulgar looked at his feet more and fiddled his fingers. He wasnt cold at all, it was his jacket, he'd never taken it off since he'd gotten it now that it ripped he felt empty. "Kurai, I dont like not having my jacket, I feel... exposed. Vulnerable."

Gee what a warm welcome she got. Taikai decided to leave her to tend to the guests and take care of the disgruntled Taizen, meh. Not that she minded helping the strangers but she felt somewhat ignored. Ah well, was nothing really new. She took into content that the two where firebenders and in need of jacket of sorts. Most likely food and shealter as well.

Her hands patted at the side of Guardian's tuff. "I shall go find Master Dyn and have rooms prepared. If you wish food I am sure the kitchen will assist with any requests if you are polite about it. As for the jacket, I will see what I can do."

Guardian turned and with Niima on it's back, both headed back into the depths of the temple. Yep. Leaving Taizen to deal with the strangers.

She heard fulgar's response and somehow it made her laugh. She quickly appologized, "I'm sorry fu-san its just something about that made me laugh." She let out a little giggle.

She noticed a girl possibly an airbender she was surprised mainly because she hadn't see her. She felt bad since she wasn't able to introduce each other, since her grandfather taught her to be polite at all times. She felt even worse after the girl was polite enough to get them board and food. And before she could properly greet her she began to leave of the feline's back. "uhm....THANK YOU!" she shouted hoping the girl would at least hear her 'thank you'.Next time she saw the girl she would have to give her a proper greeting and thank you.

Kurai noticed that the young man, Taizen, wasn't pleased but more like disgrunted. I guess he didn't seem like he was enjoying their company. She quarked an eyebrow noticing he was muttering something. She walked up to him slowly not sure if her presence would anger him. Kurai wasn't used to interacting with people, the only people she'd actually have a conversation with was Fulgar and grandfather. "uhm, excuse me...but..your not enjoying are company very well, huh?" She gave a sheepish smile hoping she didn't provoke him.

Taizen huffed some more, being talked to by the female firebender, he answered huffily, "I'm not really enjoying that my friends just left me here bymyself, That's all...." He said moodily, obviously he was used to sulking... "But don't let my attitude ruin your stay here at the temple..." He said monotonously, if he cared about they're stay at the temple, it was probably being synonymous with caring that a spider nested in the store room. almost never seen, and as such, not cared about. one difference... He was chaperoning them around... "Er... Would it be against my hosting abilities to ask you about your bending?" Taizen asked in an attempt to make something interesting happen.
