Welcome to Gaia! ::

Turning around Rouge smiled. She remembered the word the boy was using from her last encounter with a drow child-a toddler who looked much like this boy. "Echk." she said with a nod towards the boy.

Wait.....this woman....wasn't this Neveah? Rouge remembered her from a previous time when she'd been here. Only the woman she remembered had beautiful butterfly wings. What had happened to her? And what had happened to the drow boy who had been with her? Had he grown? It was rather confusing.

Zasalamel brightened, his sharp ears catching the Drow greeting, repeated back to him. Oh, he always did love people speaking his language! ...Even if it was as butchered as his english was. Turning towards the voice, the tall kid eyed the woman who spoke it...and instantly recognized her as Rouge. With a small wave and a bow, the obsidian-skinned spiderling wandered over to her. Rouge had - though most likely unknowningly - demanded his attention by answering him, so he had no choice but to go over to her...not like it truely bothered him, anyway.

"Echk." He repeated again with another wave. Then, he gestured to the others in the room, his purple eyes scanning the crowd. "Lauts." Zah said, though his tone of voice was neither playful nor dull...he sounded like he was being polite, so very polite. Rouge was, after all, a female...it was his obligation to be polite!

Then, Kay screaming his name caught his attention. Startled, his attention flew to her, his eyes wide for a moment. Wow, had she always been that small? He remembered her being...bigger...somehow. Mentally berating himself for the thought, he tapped his fingertips against his sides as they dangled there, then offered a little bow.

"Hehlo, Kay." No matter how hard he tried, he could nver pronounce her real name...too bad. Like he was with Rouge, the Drow seemed awfully polite. Mentally of course, he was wondering why he was being crowded by so many girls...and he was starting to feel antsy about it. Why him?

Neveah, on the other hand, eyed Rouge...but only as she was trying to escape. Sure her gaze was on the pirate woman, but her body was leading her away. "Hi nice to see you I'd love to talk but people oh so many people going this way now BYE." Still, she managed to look happy...but painfully fake. As soon as she could, Neveah made a break for the Garden.

"Freedom!" She said happily one the cool air hit her. No people here! With a happy sigh, the butterfly woman collapsed onto her butt on the fountain's stone ledge.

Rouge smiled and nodded at Zah. "Yes lots. A bit crowded for my liking. I think I may wander out of the room for a while. Nice to see you again." she told him and wandered off in the direction Neveah had gone.

The woman had never been to the gardens so needless to say she wasn't sure if she was allowed there. Standing in the doorway she glanced over at Neveah.

"I take it you didn't really feel like accompanying him here did you?" she asked, tone calm and cool. She already knew the answer but it was polite to ask instead of assuming.

The smell of books and ancient material filled the senses of the elf and the treeling. It was... so much quieter in here than in the lobby. What a relief.
"We'll we are here, what kind of book should we get for you?" The elf suddenly remembered the stack of book sitting on the table from when he had been here last. Then suddenly the memory of a book falling on the floor returned to his mind. Shaking his head the elf simply smiled and reached out and snatched up a book and headed out. Not even taking a simple glance at the title etched onto the cover of the book.

Oak let out a small grunt as he wanted to be at the garden rather than wasting time in a library.

"OK ok... we are almost there." The elf sighed, but his efforts would soon be remidied. The two entered into the garden, but this time they weren't alone. Oh no. For the lady Neveah had beaten the two there.
"OH I didn't know any one else as going to be here." Kyo wandered over to Oak's usual spot beneath the tree's and amongst the weeds and rested Oak down. Then wandered over next to Neveah and took a seat. Unaware of the other person there.
"How are you?"

Ah, there. Tovar streaked through the lull in the tightly packed crowd, making his way immediately toward the library. He just had to put this blasted book away and be off. After that, he wouldn't have to worry about Leith taking off anyone's fingers or anything like that.

He felt his way carefully down the hall, extracting himself from the press of bodies in the crowded front room of the headquarters. It took less time to reach the library door in the hall than to get across the front room. He half fell into the room, sighing it relief and pausing to readjust the way that Leith's backpack carrier thing hung from his shoulder.

Leith made a low key humming noise, frowning steadily. Apparently he'd taken some interest in seeing all those new people out there, and now he was stuck in some lame quiet library. He screeched a little halfheartedly as Tovar made his way to deposit the book in an empty space of shelf.

((have fun with that. be sure to let us know about how many kittens your cat has! biggrin <3)

((I'm just trying to get Ed in there for now XP I'm not able to rp right now though, so yes.))

Ed shuffled into the building, just looking for somewhere to rest after walking for so long. And this place was closest when her legs nearly gave out on her. Blinking, she pulled down her hood and looked around, curious. She hadn't seen THIS place before...though she didn't quite know how she'd missed it the other times she'd been down this way. "Hm..." shrugging, she moved to inspect the place.

She noticed other people around, but paid them little attention. She was too interested in the more inanimate objects around the place. She was most interested in finding a chair, or anywhere, though.
