Welcome to Gaia! ::

She copied Faris, looking over her pretty green DS until she found the stylus and picked it out of its little spot, blinking and looking up at Faris when she said she'd played it already. Oh, really? Okay, no big deal. That just meant she could do exactly as she said! She could teach her! Evari grinned, lifting her head when Faris wiggled and then putting it back down when she stopped. Silly Rissy! "Mmkay! Show me show me~!" Evari chirped excitedly, turning on her DS and then watching her friend. This wasn't so bad, it was just a matter of remembering what button did what! She was excited about the picture chats, drawing a stick figure of Rissy and herself to test it and drawing a big heart between their heads. Drawing Faris was hard! But she managed to figure it out. Too bad she could only use black.

After the fun with the pictochat she finally decided it was time to play the actual game, managing to figure out how to put the game in with Faris' help. Oooh! So they could race each other! Awesome! She looked through the selection of characters they could play, stopping when she spotted a really pretty blonde lady in a blue dress. Rosalina? Huh...well! She knew who she was playing now! She convinced Faris to play a couple practice rounds with her just so she could figure out how to even play the game. Gah! I-it was harder than the pictochat! It was definitely going to take some getting used to.

"Okies! Let's play for reals now!" Evari sat up straight, wiggling in her spot. They'd played three rounds already, and so far Evari's best placement had been...14th. She could do it! It just took practice! "An' don't go easy on me!" It would be okay if it was Faris. She could compete with Faris without getting frustrated about losing.

"Oh, really? Wow! You must make these a lot then if you have all the steps and measurements memorized!" But if she had to Xai would be sure to return the card! She would just copy it and study it on her own! She put the roll down a moment to sip at the tea, trying to copy the way Luis held hers so she could do it right. These teacups were oddly shaped! Nothing like she had at home. But she would adjust and adapt! Like she had been doing for all her time here on Gaia. Xai listened attentively to Luis' answer to her curiosity, sipping at the tea again and picking happily at the roll. It was so delicious if not a bit messy. "Well...if someone were to hurt her I am sure Evari would defend her. From what I've seen Evari likes her best." She chuckled, smiling warmly. "So she is a good girl? I'm glad. Evari is...quite hard to deal with sometimes..." But not all children were like that from what she had seen. Evari had met a few children, but she hit it off best with Faris. She was so happy about that!

Evari found it absolutely adorable that Faris kept chanting the name of her character, giggling and bouncing in her spot beside Faris. She couldn't exactly chant Rosalina as easily as Rissy. Maybe Rosie? Hmmm...that worked! But instead of chanting she sounded more like she was singing the name. She was very surprised to find she placed higher than Faris; it wasn't first place but it was certainly better than Faris' had been. Forget the characters played by the computer, they were dumb! Kept cheating and slowing them down and stuff! It wasn't fair. She'd just go by what her number was compared to Faris'.

...And right now Faris' seemed to be higher. Wha...b..but how? She was winning and then suddenly she wasn't! Heh. Fine, she'd let Rissy have this one. She'd blame the stupid banana peel she just hit and skidded off the track because of. Stupid bananas. She'd have to get her vengeance later by eating one or something. Team Awesome could just have a tie breaker on the next round. Maybe the winner could decide what they did next? She'd be perfectly fine with just playing more rounds of racing with her though!

Xai chuckled, finishing her tea and focusing on also finishing her cinnamon roll. She could have more, right? She really liked these. "I'm glad. Maybe she can even out Evari...and Evari talked about nothing but Faris when they met! Faris this, Rissy that. Rissy, Rissy." It was rather cute! "I'm not sure I can remember a time she was so excited as she was today when they got to have this sleepover!" Something caught her attention, something not really part of the kitchen. A thunk? What was that? Xai looked up to watch the little smoke creature, gasping and nearly jumping out of her skin. Oh god! Oh god! Nutter followed her?! No! Not Nutter! He was going to eat Luis out of house and home!

Oh, wait. Something about this one seemed...off... "Um...is...is he alright?"

Aw, man! She was gonna lose! Nonono she couldn't lose! Evari hated losing! It was about then that Faris got stuck and didn't seem to bounce back from it, wiggling with excitement as she whizzed right on past her in her car and managed to get the higher place. That meant she won! "Yaaaaaay!" Evari cheered as Faris congratulated her and informed her she was the winner, grinning excitedly at her friend. This was so much fun! Best. Present. Ever! She hummed and put her head on Faris' shoulder when asked what she wanted, playing around with the DS settings some more. What did she want? She had her Rissy, she had this awesome gift...what else was there to need? Her stomach answered for her by grumbling quietly, looking down at it a moment and then tilting her head back with it still on Faris' shoulder to look up at her again. "Lunch, pleeeeease!" She chirped, grinning. Something they could enjoy together! And she was really hungry.

"Alright! Thank you!" Xai happily grabbed another cinnamon roll, trying another method of tearing it apart by unrolling it bit by bit. Not completely but it was obviously shrinking in diameter! These rolls were a lot of fun for her, apparently. Her gaze turned back up to the other little smoke creature to watch him as he came closer to them, shying away instinctively. "O-oh? We have one...he won't leave. He lives in my fridge." She sighed a little at that, blinking and tilting her head. Whoa he also talked fast. What had he said? Wait... "...Colors...don't have scents..." Xai furrowed her brow at Luis, looking very confused. And he had said bumping into the wall tasted like tickles. None of that was right! W...was it? This was a different planet, after all. "As long as he does not try to chew on my head like Nutter he is alright."

Evari cheered and turned her DS off to set it to the side as well, holding Faris' hand when she grabbed hers and climbing off the bed with her. "Foodfoodfooooood~!" She chanted happily with her best friend as they hurried down the stairs again, through the tavern and into the kitchen area. Evari looked around with amazement, actually thinking she could possibly use the stuff here! It looked nothing like Xai's kitchen! She could actually read some of this stuff, and everything looked like the things on television. Usable! "What kinda foods should we get?" Because Evari would eat anything.

Xai made a sound of understanding at Luis' explanation on the eating habits of her own...Critter. How lucky, she would rather have this Critter over Nutter. Sigh. But it was wishful thinking, she wouldn't wish Nutter upon anyone else so she would just take one for the team. Damn. "Well he seems..." Her words trailed off as Critter spoke to her some more, trying to make out his words. We shall...o-oh? She blinked a few times and stared at the smoky creature with a fairly surprised and amused look, laughing good-naturedly and shaking her head even as Luis nearly choked. What a strange creature! "It's alright, he isn't scaring me. He's an odd little thing!" She chuckled, smiling.

Wait a second...Evari recognized that voice. She halted with Faris still attached to her hand and furrowed her brow, looking around the kitchen. Why did she hear Xai? Shouldn't Xai be gone? This was her sleepover with Faris! She didn't need to be here anymore she'd dropped her off and done her part! Oh, there she was. Faris' mom must have held her up. Well, there was no more reason for her to be here so she could go home now! Yup. Evari gently tugged Faris' hand to lead her over to the pair of mothers, blinking up at Xai. "Yer still here?" Well obviously. Xai's gaze was torn away from Critter to look down at Evari, smiling warmly and nodding.

"Just enjoying some tea and snacks with Luis before I go back home to Nutter." Evari didn't seem very convinced this was a good answer.

She was actually excited to make sandwiches with Faris, but then Evari was excited to do anything with Faris. Her Rissy could want to go sit and stare at a wall and she'd happy sit there...er...well...okay, she'd admit that just sitting and staring at a wall is just totally stupid and boring but it's her Rissy and she can do what she wants. But Xai was a completely different story. She was pouting a little when Luis explained why Xai was still here when it was just supposed to be her day with Faris, seeming to grudgingly accept these apologies. Guess Xai deserved a break...as long as she didn't try to take Evari home! She was sleeping with Faris, darnit!

The promise of cake helped.

Evari's eyes widened and she gasped, bouncing on her toes and clapping her hands. Cake! Yay! "Yaaay! Okay~!" She turned back to Faris with a squeal of excitement, still bouncing and holding both of Faris' hands in her own. "Les'make our san'wiches quick so we can have some cake!" Evari then leaned in to whisper to her best friend. "And then we can try readin' the tables." Since apparently Luis was going to be distracted with making a cake! It was the perfect opportunity! Xai chuckled at the girls excitement and turned back to Luis with a smile.

"Thank you for letting me stay and enjoy tea and cinnamon rolls, Luis~. I should probably head home soon before Nutter eats everything in the house." And that would be very bad.

Evari was more than happy to momentarily forget the adults in favor of making a sandwich with Faris, holding the knife with a funny look. It was a lot different from the knives at home...oh well! A knife was a knife, right? She hummed happily beside Faris until she realized something.. "I've never made a san'wich before!" Evari suddenly gasped, staring at the bread and condiments. This was both exciting and slightly confusing. She'd never made one before! Xai always made them for her so...how did you make one?! Maybe she'd just watch Faris make hers and then copy her? That sounded like a good plan. Because surely Faris would know best!

"You'll see me tomorrow, of course~!" Since Xai would have to pick Evari up, and they could hang out during that time! She had a feeling Evari wouldn't mind at all if Xai really took her time to relax before bringing her home considering who she was with today. She seemed to adore Faris a great deal, and got along with her better than any child she'd seen her play with so far besides Kay! What did they call themselves? Oh, right! Team Awesome! Haha. "It was very fun talking with you! And thank you for sharing your delicious cinnamon rolls with me! And the recipe~." Xai was definitely going to try it out, she just hoped that hers tasted half as good as Luis' did. She gleefully stood and returned the hug Luis was offering, giggling and letting her go after a few moments. Her first hug! Well, her first hug from someone other than Evari.

After releasing the hug Xai turned to pet Evari's hair, giving the girl an affectionate goodbye kiss on the top of her head. "Have fun, Evari. And be a good girl, don't drive Miss Luis too crazy~. I'll see you tomorrow." Evari blinked and looked up at Xai, grinning cheekily and giving a nod.

"Ookiiies. Byebye, Xai!" She chirped, waving to her as the alien began to make her way out of the kitchen. Xai waved to the three girls on her way out, humming happily on the way home. She'd just pretend she wasn't going home to a nutbar with a bottomless pit for a stomach. Siiiigh.

Indeed! There was a first time for everything! And so far sandwich making was fun, she opted out of the ketchup but she did add everything else. Even a bit of extra meat to make up for the lack of ketchup. She nodded in agreement to Faris' statement about wimpy sandwiches, grinning ear to ear. It was just sandwich making but somehow Faris made it fun. "Yupyup~!" Evari chirped, pressing down on her sandwich a little as if that would help to make it easier to eat. Or something. Xai was gone and now she could have guaranteed uninterrupted fun with Faris. She'd never slept away from home before! This would be fun!

Evari finished making her sandwich and held it up with a happy noise, starving to death now. She was wasting away~! Oh noooooo! So hungry! If Evari didn't eat soon she'd diiiiie! The only remedy was to eat something immediately. She took the first bite out of her sandwich, the first sandwich she'd ever made on her own. It...it was good! She squealed with delight and wiggled a bit, eating another bite of the sandwich. So delicious! Eeeeeeeee! "What're we gonna do next, Rissy?" Since lunch had been her idea Faris could have the next turn. Xai didn't make her help around the house, it didn't occur to her to offer to help Luis make the cake.
