Welcome to Gaia! ::

Luc shuffled the slightest and peered at the newest duo to join the Aerandir get-together. Straightening, he perked at the sight of food. Sidling up to the other boy, Lucius at least waited until he was sure that the other Aerandir had settled before speaking, his words quiet.

"Hi, s'your name?" He really was curious, as he didn't think he'd met this particular Aerandir yet. Then again, he really didn't know many of the newer ones. "I'm Luc, s'posed to be a vampire for Halloween." He grunted and eyed to food appreciatively. He hadn't seen Marli, and she was the only one she'd recognize since they'd all grown.

So what, there was now, pirates and vampires - he'd have to ask Kiro about those later - a princess, a butterfly, wow...!! So many peoples all dressed up for Ha'o'een!

Kiro had stood up upon hearing some of the others approach, moving to lend Kami a hand by taking some of the delicious-looking food from her. "Wow, Kami, this stuff all looks great! You and Keanu must've worked hard on it!" Somehow teasing yet another picnic blanket out of one of the boxes, Kiro lay it out on he sand, putting the food he'd taken from Kami on it, before looking around to the others. "I'm assuming it's a matter of help yourselves," he said with a slight chuckle.

Tsu in the meantime was fascinated with the appearance of the other Aerandir. He was running around by now with his costume half-off, examining people out of holes in a hseet becoming slightly irritating. Giggling childishly, the mousey boy poked Osu back, retribution for the previous poking, before then deciding this might not be such a bad game... So then he took it upon himself to race over to Nehanda and poke her. "Poked!" he peeped as he raced towards Delta - possibly a bad idea - and poked her too, then moving around all of the children present and poking them in the confusion.

Then he got to Iniko... and... could not poke her. "Wha?! Stay still!!"

"You don't know what a princess is?" Delta gaped at the young Aerandir. "I will have to lend you my books. All boys need to know about princesses." She nods and puts her hands on her hips... when she is poked by Tsu. She squeels and jumps back in surprise. All these kid Aerandir... it confused her. Delta hadn't seen most of them since they had grown, and now that they were costumed she was completely lost.

Sy had spotted Nyxa, and not having seen her friend in quite a while, let out a little cry of joy and hugged the other woman fiercely. Suddenly, her childish costume seemed all the more fitting with her actions.

"Nyxa! I missed you! Where have you been?"

Alyosha smiled as he noticed Ieyasu, nodding towards him. He slipped down next to the fire, letting the flickering warmth lightly toast his fingertips. It was still relatively warm on Cetalu, even as the sun slipped beneath the horizon, but the sharp heat of the fire made him feel comfortable.

He sat quietly, watching the proceedings. Sy seemed to be otherwise occupied and he didn't want to ruin her fun tonight. He looked over towards Kami, towards the good, warm homely smell of the food. "What are those?" he asked, having never had come into contact with cooked pumpkin before.

Keanu smiled widely, and bounced as Osusuki wandered over. He seemed terribly excited. He'd never been to a party, and there were so many people! "Hey Osu!" he said, giving a wide smile back to the firey little fox/crane boy. Suddenly realizing something, he giggled. "Hey, we're both pirates!" he said cheerfully, seeming quite amused.

Kami had drifted towards the fire as well, not really wearing any costume. There hadn't been enough time, and she couldn't think of anything she'd wanted to dress up as. She did feel rather guilty about it, but at least Keanu didn't seem to mind. She blinked as she heard Aly, and smiled, tugging the wagon, which she had found amongst the weeds in the backyard, over towards him so she could reply. "I believe it's the pumpkin pies." she said, giving a warm smile as she sat near him. "Keanu and I baked them for the party, and we brought caramel apples and pumpkin seeds, too. Would you like a piece of pie?" she asked, sitting back a bit.

"Ahhhh that would be wonderful" he exclaimed, looking greedily at the pie. He was ravenous having somehow forgotten to feed himself that day. Shuffling closer to Kami he eyed the warm pies. "Keanu is really coming along then?" he asked quietly. "I've always been a little worried about him because of his somewhat... traumatic start" Alyosha smiled a little. "You seem to have really done wonders with him."

Osu looked curiously at Lucius for a moment, before a vague memory stirred in the back of his mind. He kinda remembered a gryphon called Luc. He looked so different now, though! Although... everyone seemed to change a lot. Beaming at Luc, he replied cheerfully. "Hiya, Luc!"

Turning back to Keanu as the other Aerandir pointed out their similar costumes, Osu gave a delighted giggle. "Cool!" Waving about his foam cutlass, he did his best pirate impression. "YARR!!"

Osu then realised something else. "Luc, you dress like Yassu!" This was so neat!

Ieyasu grinned at Nyxa as he spotted her blow a kiss in his direction. Cheekily, he winked back at her. She seemed kinda busy right now. He'd catch up with her later - it had been a good while since he'd last seen her in any case.

Kami chuckled softly, turning to dig a paper plate and a plastic fork from the bottom of the wagon. She unwrapped a pie and withdrew a spatula, cutting a good sized piece from the pie and setting it gently down on the plate. It was a shame, she thought, that they didn't have any whipped cream, but she hadn't been able to find a recipe for it. "Here you are." she said, carefully handing him the plate and fork. "You'll want to keep the plate. I'm afraid there's probably only enough for everyone to have one." she said, looking a bit apologetic. Though, it vanished at the next question, replaced by a happy smile. "Oh yes. He's been very dedicated to cooking, he worked very hard with me on these pies." she covered the pie back up to keep it warm, as long as possible. "It seems as if he hardly remembers much from his gryphon stage." she said, leaning back again, and looking out into the darkened ocean.

Keanu, feeling a bit shy, strayed away from the group of Aerandir children, and wandered over to the fire to sit at the end of the wagon, glancing out to watch his mother talking to....was that Alyosha? His eyes got a bit wide at the man's appearance, and he shuddered as he ducked back out of view, content to sit and enjoy the smell of the pies and watch the fire.
