Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rosa's crossed eyes sported furrowed brows and a contorted lip expression, "Rolling in the flowerbeds...? Truly, you disturb me my elder, I am not so savage as to freely ..romp... in plants and soot and... Oh! You like the smell, Alces?" She asked, swatting at a few more of the bugs that seemed to be dieing off now that she was farther away from her little corner and thankfully the scent of her's had already been wearing off. (Thankfully, aside from that perfume of hers attracting interesting things it was about as potent as a 20 cent liquor store tube of 'bubble gum smelling bodyspray.')

She sighed, and went to land her chin on one of Alces' shoulders, deciding to wear a paticularly coy expression at an angle she thought Alces' wouldent be able to notice, "Oh no, she said something about Equus, something far more interesting then sword play. Do try not to lie to me, Filix.. I may not be so well adept as to reading all of people's behaviour, but I do know when -you- are .. avoiding something.." She sang triumphantly.

"I did not!" Filix replied to both of them, a little louder than she intended. She glanced at the ground for a few seconds to compose herself, then looked up at them both. "I said nothing about Equus that my dear... little... sister may be hoping I said."

Filix looked away again, back towards the castle. Where on earth was Equus when she needed backup? He could agree with her, no problem!

Alces continued to stand there, looking back and forth between the two sisters. He silently wondered what Filix might think that Rosa might be hoping she said and blinked. Finding this to be rather confusing, and was now glad he wasn't exactly in this little conversation. "Girls." he thought to himself and shook his head until he realized he was doing so and stopped, looking back at the two of them he watched Rosa as she put her arm in his then looked back at Filix with a 'help me' look, until he realized the hair comment was directed towards Filix and he once again became relaxed.

Rosa grinned, "As a matter of fact, I have an interesting new hair pin I bought recently. Its said to pull your hair back so tightly that all the air out of your face gets sucked up! Though, expression doesnt really make sence. Is there air even in one's face? Yes, well.. Filix, out with it. We already know there is something to be told, and if I have to inlist Alces to hold you down while I get a comb- I will!" She said, very military like.

Filix blinked in alarm, but the idea of Rosa touching her hair was somehow more horrifing than the discription of what the comb could do. She shifted on her feet, glancing around a bit. "Well... it's late. I should be going, it was good to see you both!"

She sprinted off as soon as she'd finished, before the other two could catch her. Filix snatched up the cloak, put it around herself, then sprinted off in the dark shadows towards the castle, her chambers and safety....

"Oh, no there's no need for a letter." He told her and then smiled at her a bit as she kissed him on the cheek. "Goodnight Lady Rosa." he called out after her as he walked back towards where he had set his book, wiping off his cheek as he picked it up off the bench. He then, began walking back towards his chambers.

End of Session

Eirnae and Pappila have been in the gardens for a while, the moon elf with a large tome held in both hands with the toddler perched on her lap. From the look of things Eirnae has been reading to Pappila for a long time, since the book is near its end, or at least it would seem so with how many pages are on the wrong side. If someone watches long enough, they would notice the young Fey pointing at the pages in front of her with her Crystal Wand whenever she hears a word she wants repeated, to which Eirnae obligingly repeats the indicated word.

They are at the fringe of the rose garden, backs to the near maze of flowers as they perch atop a garden bench, enjoying the book. Well, at least Pappila seems to be enjoying it.

Filix peered around, and waved at Muris from on top of Fera. Fera snorted, tossing his head slightly at the sight of the familiar girl, but stood there calmly enough. Filix remained on his back, and called down, "Hello! You've done such a good job with him, Muris!"

She spotted something else through the bushes, a glint of blue that meant that someone else was nearby as well. Filix only had to push aside a thick branch to see the sweet sight of Pappila, Eirnae and the book that Eirnae must have been patiently going through for the toddler. They were against the rose bed, which was still blooming and beautiful. Filix paused to watch the sight for a few moments, then nudged Fera forward into the garden, as she gestured for Muris to follow.

"Hello, Pappila and Eirnae." Filix called, dismounting and hooking Fera's bridle carefully and slightly loosely to a stubby branch. "Have you met my old friend, Muris?"
