Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dyanel the marriage counselor... lol she's never been married.

Dyanel looked at Shinta carefully and wondered about what she could see next. She pet Cheebs behind the ears without realizing and her answer came to her.

"I think you need to give her a good reason why she doesn't need to feel responsible for you anymore. She can't wander as a soul forever, time is going to get to her. Believe me, I know," she said with a soft smile.

Dyanel looked at Shinta.

"I cannot tell what her fate as a soul is. I'm not apart of that anymore. I just know that sometimes, we need to let go of those we love, just to help them grow," Dyanel said looking at Natsuko's spirit.

Dyanel smiled a bit. She didn't know what to say to this. She pet Cheebs again who had gone back to purring loudly.

It would make sense, but if you don't want her to be able to I'm fine with that.


Dyanel gave another small smile. Smiling brightly hadn't been her thing for a while. She looked at Shinta and then at Cheebs.

"I didn't blame you for thinking I was a murderer. I thought I was a murderer. It was a reason I left that area of my life," Dyanel stated looking at Natsuko.

Dyanel let out a sigh looking at the both of them.

"You may think that, but sometimes, I was. It's hard to explain when you aren't there. Ethren was there most of the time. He knows how I was and how... well demon like I was," Dyanel stated looking as though those were the hardest words to speak.

"And here is the kitchen, Kirokina, with nearly everything you could ever want or need to eat or drink. Pretty big huh?"

Big was an understatment, the kitchen was enourmous. A Chef's Dream and Cole once put it. And it had to be, this place was large enough to fit every resident in the pagoda and then some.

Aideki came swinging into the kitchen from an open window. She had obviously been on the roof and scaled the Pagoda down, as she always did, 'til she found a window leading into her destination.
The small sustaination from the food she had earlier had hardly done anything and she was hankering once again for something fullfilling.
She then noticed all the people within the room, stopping suddenly upon seeing them. She didn't think anyone was going to be in the kitchen for some odd reason and when she thought about it she realized what a stupid thought it was... No one in the kitchen? The kitchen hadn't been empty since... Well, she couldn't remember the last time it was empty, but that didn't surprise her. After all, it was the kitchen.
Gathering herself a bit, she huffed a strained, "Aye," through tired breaths. She was obviously worn a bit from climbing the Pagoda down on such an empty stomache.
She immidiately went in search of something to eat and found the slice of cake that Hikari had offered her before. Taking it thankfully she dug into it with a fork and took a big mouthful.
She turned then to the four, "Where is Hikari? I'd like to tell her how good her cake is!"
She then poured herself a big glass of milk and guzzled almost half of it down. Beer and ale were by far her favorite drink, but there were some times when milk was just a plain necessity.

Shinta nodded politely to those who came in, his own face a mask of forced cheerfulness as well. He could tell Dy's act didn't fool Alex.

He felt Natsuko's misty hand on his shoulder. "Beloved," she said chidingly, "you're brooding again..."

Shinta wait until Alex and Kirokina left, then shrugged at Dyanel with a half smile. "It seems all agree that we two need to 'lighten up' as some here would put it. How might we do that?" The swordsman attempted a grin. "What do you do, may this one ask, for pleasure and amusement?"
