Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was very hard for Peyton to think of Astrid as anything but the soft little girl she'd grown up with. The one that had smiled all the time, that hadn't understood why she shouldn't mention the shadows. It had lips pulling into a grim line, and she let out a soft sigh before forcing a smile into existence. There was nothing for it, she was here now. Peyton was just going to have to make the best of it.

Pulling her gaze away from the pod, she turned up to America and returned that thoughtful look. "That's a really good idea." It would give her something to do while she waited for the younger Creedy to wake up. Collecting anything and everything she though Astrid might want or need.

She dropped America's hand, but only so she could slid in and loop an arm around the taller girl's waist. "Thank you."
