Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tadaaki approached Irene's shrine with a calm composure. To this Goddess, he owed two things; an invitation to the Festival of Lights as well as an apology. Hoshigumo had not requested or commanded that he apologize to Irene but the man was going to issue her one on his own accord. It had been wrong of him to let his emotions get the better of him and he could have approached in a more appropriate manner. He waited patiently for either the Goddess herself or a Follower to notice his presence, the invitation clasped tightly in his hands. In the event that none noticed him in time, he would leave a holograph invitation and a hand-written apology note.

Tadaaki bowed deeply to Irene and spoke in a calm and apologetic tone. "First, I would like to apologize for my prior behavior. Jealousy is not something that I am familiar with and I had behaved out of line." He slowly stood upright and offered her a warm smile, extending his hand with the invitation held out. "Hoshigumo would like to see you and your Followers join the fun at the Festival of Lights. There will be many things to look forward too. Games, wares to purchase, lanterns that we will light and release into the sky, and fireworks as well. I will also be running a stall serving my specialty sweets; I would personally like you to drop by and visit me there. Perhaps I can give you one of my best sweets to make up for my previous behavior."

Tadaaki furrowed his brows slightly at the mention of her wanting to make babies with Hoshigumo again, but chooses to keep silent on the matter. If Hoshigumo chose to abandon his love in the end and accept another there was nothing he would ever be able to do but accept it and distance himself. It would displease him just as much if she changed her mind about having children with him to instead have them with another but in the end, he would always accept whatever she chose and respect her wishes just as he should. Now was not the time or place to concern himself with such things though, and he kept all of his emotions in check. The warm smile remained on his face and he bowed his head respectfully to Irene. "I will let Hoshigumo know that you have chosen to attend. Until I see you next," he purred sweetly and took his leave to return to the shrine that he had made his home and give word to his Goddess.

Irene smiled at Sarawati and said "Welcome to my temple and don't worry I don't like forcing anyone to do what that don't want to. So you are welcome to make my island your home and live in one of the little beach houses, so you won't be bothered by any parties I might throw in the main house" She smiled warmly "But if you decide you want to join the party you are always welcome to try" Irene fluttered her wings happily, very pleased that someone had sought to join her on her island. "You are free to do as you like, there are many waterfalls and lakes on the island, as well as the ocean of course"

Irene smiled "Oh it's beautiful, are you sure you want to give up such a lovely pearl??" Irene asked curiously

(Did Sara tell her she's royal??)

Irene smiled warmly and said "Then I will keep it forever as the treasure it is and as a reminder of the first follower to grace my island with her lovely presence." Irene said sincerely Sarawati, arrival meant a lot to her. "If you'd like me to show you around the island, or to the beach house please let me know. Other wise explore as you like and make yourself at home."
