Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kisa nodded her head, but guessed Ayame couldn't see because she had already started towards Daisuke. She trailed slowly after her, knowing she should probably warn him, but not really wanting to. Kurri would get caught in the fray, because he was so close to the male, but she couldn't bring herself to ruin Ayame's fun.

When the water splashed over Daisuke, Kurri leapt to his feet like he'd just been shocked. In a second, he'd bolted up a nearby rock, then scrambled up to another, even taller one. He sat down up there, glaring down angrily as water dripped off his nose.

Kisa sent him an apologetic look, only to have him turn his back to her. She knew he'd get over it though and slowly made her way to shore, hugging herself tightly. She walked to an unoccupied rock, and jumped nimbly on top of it, sitting with her legs hugged to her chest. So cold...

Kurri turned around again, so he was facing everyone, but only looked towards Daisuke. He peered down at him, then retreated to the far side of the rock to shake himself off, so he wouldn't spatter anyone with the water that flew off in all directions. Once done, he sat down towards the middle of the rock, and began licking his fur, trying to make it lay back down from where it was sticking up.

Kisa hesitated, casting Daisuke a look, and then smiled at Ayame. "Yes, thank you," she said and carefully accepted the towel. She dabbed off her face, then wrapped it around her shoulders, placing her long hair on top of the towel rather than under it and against her skin. It was much too cold to do that. "Maybe we should.. try again in the summer," she suggested with a small laugh.

Kisa nodded her head, stretching out a little so the sun would hit more of her, and maybe help her dry more quickly. "Yes, it was," she agreed, smiling at Ayame, then glancing towards Daisuke and Kurri. She just smiled though, and soon returned her gaze to the rock she was sitting on, staring at the edge of it where her legs were hanging over.

Kurri paused from cleaning himself, then peered over the edge down at Daisuke. "...I know," he said. "I've tried, but she always makes me feel too guilty." That said, he collapsed onto his side, letting the sun dry him fully.

Kisa continued gazing at the rock, her expression blank as her green eyes went out of focus, and then faded into grey. She wasn't really thinking of anything at the moment. She'd learned to just let her mind go blank at times, rather than risk recalling something she'd rather not. There were several things she'd rather not think about. Her past, why Ria had seemed so familiar, why she felt an almost unnatural loneliness...

But for now, she thought of nothing at all, and only broke from the daze at the sound of Ayame's voice. She blinked a couple times to clear her vision, then stared at the girl for a moment. Her eyes shifted green once more, and she looked a little surprise. "Ah, really?" she asked, casting a quick glance at herself, her cheeks just the faintest pink. "Th.. thank you..." She wasn't really sure how to respond to that.

Kurri blinked, then slowly made his way back to the ledge of the rock. He laid down on his stomach, front paws over the edge, and his head positioned so he could look down at Daisuke. He was silent for a moment, having caught the obvious look in the boy's eyes. Then he let out a small kitty sigh, and nodded his head. "Of course I do," he replied quietly. "He's still around?"

Kurri nodded his head slightly. "Well, that's good," he replied, still watching him. When Daisuke began to stir, he figured he was getting ready to leave. He glanced towards Ayame, but she hadn't seemed to notice yet. So he frowned slightly, rolling onto his back and watching Daisuke upside down. "Going alone then?" It was more of a statement than a question. Daisuke left, and Kurri let out a small sigh, realizing he'd lost the only person he could talk to. He got to his feet, then jumped across the rocks, settling in Kisa's lap. He was tempted to follow him but he was just a regular cat. If something happened, he had no means of helping out, or even protecting himself, other than running away.

Kisa blinked, then almost automatically began petting him. His fur was still damp, but so was hers, so she couldn't really complain. She faced Ayame again, listening quietly. She frowned, ears drooping just slightly. "I.. see," she said softly, and also looked over towards Daisuke, only to find him gone. She hesitated, then looked questioningly at Ayame. "Should I track him?" she asked, pointing to her nose.

Vamp held his daughter as he walked into the beach. He looked at her and smiled. She was looking more like her mother each day. Unlike Gordon, Vamp was a little more protective of Jacklin since he thought she wouldn't want to be a warrior like Gordon. Atleast to his knowledge. for now he wanted her to grow up like a normal child. " You wanna go into the water?" he asked still smiling at her.

Vamp smiled as he let he daughter down into the water. The waves moved back and forth slowly. " Go on. Lets see what shells we can collect or see if we can find shark teeth!" he said making his hands into teeth and tickled her a little bit. He smiled as stopped and patted her on the head. the water was rather nice for this time of year. things where starting to warm up. Maybe he'd take the family here one day.
