Welcome to Gaia! ::

She moved in the water so that she was over by the edge and found a good place to sit. A small ledge along the side allowed for one to rest while still being under the warm waters. "Ah, sometimes Ergon doesn't know what's good for him even if it hits him. I would know. I hit him and he didn't know I was the best thing for him at the time." Riya chuckled then, making a joke to how she'd met her boyfriend. Though of course Sylvirah might not know it.

As she leaned back against the rocks she looked up at the sky and admired it for what it was. Large and open, there for everyone. "You're welcome and of course I mean it. If you have no issue with hybrids then my family would love to have you over too." She might even enjoy hanging out with her energetic uncles.

The last comment made Riya cough before she flat out laughed until tears formed in her eyes. "Well thank you. At least someone can tell I'd make a good wife." Considering she sucked at cooking and was hardly the homemaker type it was funny to her.

Iriyana giggled and nodded her head. "Yes, I hit him. Tackled him to the ground too. But don't be fooled, he fought back. He pulled my hair." A large grin settled into place then. Clearly she was fond of the memory even if at the time she'd hated it. Her right hand came up out of the water to push her short hair behind one long ear. "He also became my first kiss shortly after." That day had been a little hectic.

As Sylvirah mentioned that she'd never spoken with a hybrid she wasn't surprised. Most people didn't talk to them unless they had a need to. And even then most didn't want to. "Ah, well a few of my uncles are hybrids. One of them actually taught me how to use the bow." And her grandfather had taught her to hunt. The compliments actually made her blush a little but she was still grinning. "Oh ho! Wait until I tell Ergon he better watch it. I have options now!" It amused her a little. "If your brother ever gets on your nerves you can hide out at my place. I'll give him a good thumpin' for ya too."

She settled back against the rocks a bit more and stretched out in the water. The heat was really doing wonders for her muscles. "So since I know you're not a 'lets go shopping' girl, thank Chi..." Her eyes rolled a little. "How about we go out hunting sometime. One who gets the bigger kill wins?" A little competition was good too.

"Oh he did. I got him all muddy and everything." It had been a sight to see. The uptight rule follower covered in mud pulling a girl's hair. So unseemly. But she'd loved seeing him like that. All flustered and out of his element. Riya thought he looked best when he didn't have a strict routine to follow. Then again she was pretty chaotic so chaos didn't bother her. "As for that, well... apparently I like having my hair pulled." Riya shrugged her shoulders completely innocently. "Was shocking to both of us." She let out another giggle, this one a bit embarrassed but it wasn't a big secret.

"Huh, well at least you didn't take months to admit that." She was joking with Sylvirah. "Oh, even if you did bring Ada I think I could beat you. After all, I know my hunting trails pretty well." The icling gave a wink, a sign of her confidence.
