Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tuomas growled abit at Razz but seemed to lighten up alot when she hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her with a smile and kissed her forehead. He wasn't going to fall for kissing her lips again and getting red lips again. He looked over at Razz and then over to Josie. "You should never agree with my cousin..I mean for God sakes what would she know about fashion? The only thing she ever wears are pants and a shirt! I swear to god she could pass for a boy!"

Luna shot a glare over to Tuomas and let out a low growl. Her ears laying flat against her head abit. She turned away from her cousin and crossed her arms abit.

Oh crap..Tuomas thought to himself. He rose his hands up symbolizing his defeat. He laughed nervously. He had really screwed up and now he had to get himself out of this hole he had dug himself. "Eh heh thats not what I ment! I mean my cousin is literally like a guy. All she does is fight and she doesn't mind getting dirty and bloody. Hell she used to live in a cave and eat raw fish! She's really masculine. I'm just saying that she's not fit to have the female body she's got. She shoulda been born a man thats all! It was nothing against you Razz I swear!"

"Eh heh nothing Razz..different is being okay. I swear!" Tuomas decided that the best way to end this conversation was to agree with Razz. He didn't want her to be upset. He wanted her to have fun. So he decided to drop it. Tuomas laughed abit nervously as he hung his head. "I'm sorry dear.."

Luna just stood there and watched. She was chuckling to herself at seeing Tuomas squirm. She couldn't help but enjoy seeing this. Watching as her cousin squirmed to find the right answer.

"Yes I definatly agree. There is a ballroom. We can go in there and congregate. I believe that there is only a few people in there right now. Or so it would seem. Besides, you and Tuomas can have a couple of nice dances." Luna said with a smile. She turned and waved goodbye to Lupis. Though she knew the two of them would join the group soon as luna turned and headed into the ballroom.

Tuomas smiled at Razz and nodded. Following after his cousin and waving over to Josie to follow. "Hey Razz you don't mind if I dance with your sister once or twice do you? I don't want her to feel out of place." Tuomas felt that in order to be accepted into a family you had to be curtious to all the members. Besides Josie was sweet. He didn't want her to be left all alone.

(Off to the ballroom)

"Eh... where is he...?" Rivera asked herself as she sent Vesper off to the ballroom. Her hair was down, with a single slender braid trailing down the left side of her head, crystals interwoven into it. Her dress was a midnight violet-blue that was almost black, made of pearly satin and delicate silk lace. Tiny crystals were woven into the lace as well, glistening like stars in the purest sky. The black lace choker at her throat glistened with the clear drops of tears. Silver clasps embellished her hands. A crystal circlet crowned her head. Links of intricate patterns forged in silver composed a chain girdle around her waist, accenting the slightness of her body. The sapphire drops dangling from the chain glistened with the essence of the sea. Tomoro's flower bloomed in her hair, tucked near the braid in a sprig of star like snowdrops. Kira was late... or she was just early.

"Ah... who's your Secret Santa, by the way?" She smiled as he came up to her. "I got Sara another knife... so she would stop borrowing mine all the time." Rivera sighed. Shinku was going to end up being her Secret Santa... and hopefully, he doesn't poison whatever he had in store for her. "Oh, merry christmas, by the way. Here." She handed him a little handkerchief, black, with silver edges and red feathers embroidered on it. "I tried my hand with a sewing machine... I don't think it liked me. Kira's initials were sewn by hand on the corner, in red.

Rivera blinked, very confused. What sort of gift was this? Well... chances are she'll find out. She closed her eyes and held out her hand like he asked her to, thinking about all the possible things it might be... frogs, newts, rocks, marbles, bracelets, gloves... loads of stuff... they're all possiblities aren't they?

Rivera opened her eyes and looked at the ring for a long time, her eyes soft and quizzical, but also somewhat analytic. The long moments passed like hours in the day. Finally, Rivera stepped foward and wrapped her arms around Kira. She could hear his heart beat. "Don't be worried over a silly little ring..." She smiled. "I like it, because it's Kira that's giving it to me." Yet another misunderstanding.
