Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I suppose," she admits, but she still can be suspicious. He did make a valiant effort to gain her trust when he arrived, but really didn't help much deciding a closed door doesn't provide enough privacy.

Ecavi hesitates when Ceres offers to call Rhine, or to let her stay until he arrives. Does she really want to ask him this minute? Or later this day?

"I shouldn't stay that late, and there's no need to bother him now," she says finally, "I imagine I'll be seeing him, seeing as Jasmine and I live at the same place.." Unaware of his work schedule, she is a bit surprised to hear that he works until 4AM, and moreso to hear why.

"It's better than nothing," she says thoughtfully, wondering if Jasmine will soon leave her and be seen only an hour a day, or less. The ring certainly speaks for this idea. She sighs.

"I don't know how chaotic things will get if I unexpectedly stay away for too long, though," Ecavi smiles, though she knows Jasmine can handle Myze and Ceri.

"I'm not looking for excuses," Ecavi bites her lip, though she can't say she doesn't want to go home, "I didn't expect to be out too long." Really, Jasmine is probably even waiting for a chance to nail her mother about lying. Of course, it's really just over reacting on purpose.

"Ambitious," she comments with a small smile, "Last I heard from Jasmine about such a thing, she wanted to be a princess."

"I'm sure," Ecavi says. There's no doubt in her mind Rhine would try, or that Jasmine would try to convince him to. She watches Ceres clear the table, wondering momentarily how she keeps herself busy if she can just wave stuff away.

"Yes, thank you," she says politely, a response to both things.

Ecavi turns to watch the tray of cookies go, raising an eyebrow. What's the fun in baking cookies like that? Though, neither of them are children, and those are the ones who prefer the like the process almost as much as the outcome.

"I don't think Jasmine's ever given up on being a princess, she did name her cat Prince Charming," she says, pondering the Cassara comment, "Anyone is strange if you word it right, or if you only look at certain aspects."

Ecavi smiles, feeling a little better now that the conversation is lighter.

"He should, the only one he isn't so good with is Ceri, but that's probably her fault," she nods, laughing quietly, "She's much too excited, but she'll learn." The poor cat had seemed angry with Jasmine for most of her birthday, but he'd come to forgive her- especially since she offered a safe room away from Ceri and other noises.

"Yes, please," she says, blinking at the milk that appears on the table even before the words are said, and then she smiles.

"So it seems," Ecavi smiles, then watches Ceres quietly as she makes a small pile of gold appear. Her eyes widen, what an interesting ability. Certainly nothing she'd need with her own Island, and the ability to make cookies bake themselves and milk appear, though. For her own curiousity, she does take a piece of the gold to inspect.

"No money troubles with you, eh?" she jokes, turning the coin over in her hand.

"Oh, right," Ecavi smiles, realizing that Ceres had meant exactly what she'd said. She can understand Rhine's desire to make it on his own, as well. Then she watches as the cookies are put on a plate, and the plate is put on the table.

"Thank you," she says, reaching over and taking a cookie, only to set it down again, "Quite hot."
