Welcome to Gaia! ::

Onora looked at the two fellow water earthlings and could see the love Gael had for Brexxa, especially when seeing Gael understanding his daughters distaste of him leaving when travelling.

Onora's plump lips wrapped around her spoon as she saw Gael trace the scars on his body. Her eyes followed for a moment, sorrow reflecting deep within her honey eyes. "I'm sorry. I am not sure what happened while you were there, but I know the hurt. I was taken there when I was a child, and by the time I came home, my family had already gone."' She quickly wiped a stray tear that was about to fall.

Brushing her hair behind her shoulder, she gave a sniff and then smiled. "Though we are lucky it is in the past, huh?" She said as she placed her now empty bowl beside her. "May I ask how you got those scars? I don't mean to pry." She didn't want to upset the two, but she couldn't stop herself asking.

He frowned when he'd seen the tear. Gael hadn't been taken when he was a child and his family still lived so he didn't know the hurt. "I'm sorry that happened to you." And he truly was. That was one of the reasons he chose the shield. He wanted to be able to protect those around him, those he cared about.

Onora's question about his scars made him look at the ground for a second before he brought his gaze to the pink marks. "A whip." Gael said lowly. He was aware of his daughter looking at him but he didn't want to brush Onora's question off with just that. She wasn't being rude, simply curious.

"I was taken by an Oban woman when I was in my late teens." He looked at Brexxa then away. These were details he'd not told her. "She favored the whip but used other weapons." His shoulders lifted up before they sank back down. "When my attitude ceased she and I got to know one another. I would gladly go to her side and help her with whatever she needed now despite the rocky start." He'd gotten a nice friendship out of the whole thing.

Brexxa Post 7 --


She stared at her dad with round eyes as she listened to his tale. It was interesting to hear but also shocking. Brexxa didn't understand how he could say that he would go to this woman's side after everything that happened.

As she thought about that she looked down at her bowl of food and silently ate. She had nothing to say because her mind was too busy going in circles and trying to think of how that worked.
