Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rykeir walked into the dorm quickly sitting on the couch quickly hiding his burning face in a pillow.

"How embarrassing!" he whined into the pillow. "I'm such a dork!" He sighed putting the pillow down. It was then he noticed the differences in the room…. The girl was watching TV. She had a game system…. He rolled his eyes of course. Only a rich person would act like that He thought to himself. He sighed laying on the couch with a pillow under his head pulling a book out. He began reading listening to his stomach rumble. He sighed rubbing his stomach. Maybe if he hoped hard enough some money for food would appear. The pain in his stomach was too much for him to be able to focus on his book. He rolled over laying on it hoping it would help it die down. When the pain became more bearable he went back to his book.

Shardai woke up and realized that she overslept. She yawned very big and got on her phone to order some pizzas and bread sticks. She hope the others return soon so the food will not get cold. After she that she showered and change into her purple and black pjs with little designs of devil fluffs all over them and went back to her room to move the TV and game system into the living area. She posted a sign on it saying "Help yourselves" and went back into her room to study.

Rykeir yawned waking up. Something didn't feel right. He looked around trying to figure it out. He shrugged standing up. He picked up his bag and his eyes went wide. It was much too light.
"Apollo?!" he jumped up looking everywhere. "Apollo where are you?!" he stared at the door. Maybe he got out some how…. he jumped up wrenching the door open running out of he room.

Rykeir walked into the dorm room sullenly. He wished he'd found apollo. He noticed the light in the bathroom was on. It's been a while since i've actually seen one of my room mates the must be busy people. he though to himself, "Busy people with things to do.... f-friends to see..." Rykeir teared up with worry. He was terrified something bad had happened to his friend. His only friend, he wiped his eyes sniffling. He collapsed on the sofa burrying his head in his arm. Apollo slithered out from under the bed and up to the couch wrapping himself around Rykeirs leg. Rykeir sat up quickly feeling apollo,

"Apollo!" he held out his arm for him allowing Apollo to curl around it. He held his snake covered arm to his chest affectionatly. "I was so worried..."

Rykeir held Apollo tight, "I-i'm so sorry he's really affectionate…" he stared at the pizza hungrily his stomach was cramping from hunger but he refused to be seen as a charity case. "I'm fine, t-thanks though." he replied shyly

Rykeir curled into himself staring at the pizza….'why cant there be a dog here for me to blame for missing pizza?' His stomach rumbled loudly and he licked his lips. 'maybe she's not as stuck up as she seems… Maybe she wouldn't judge him for being poor even if she was rich…. he thought to himself, 'maybe i can eat a slice while she's not looking. he sighed he should have taken that mans offer to go to the cafe.

Rykeir blushed, he wanted to yell at his stomach for betraying him. Apollo nudged his chin almost encouragingly. Rykier took a slice managing to mumble out a "Thanks," and nibbled on it, even though he wanted to devour it. If it wasn't hers he probably would have eaten the whole thing. Apollo laid his head on Rykeirs shoulder next to his neck. Between nibbles Rykeir would pet his head soothingly, he'd always liked Apollo's skin.
