Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arkell reached up to wipe her tears away though they were replaced by fresh ones anyways so it was pointless to wipe them away. She stopped again and looked at him over her shoulder, her eyes not meeting his. "I...I know..." Her hands were twitching and she shoved them into her shorts pockets to try and calm them a little. "I...d,don't deal well with s.s.stuff like that." She gulped and bit her tongue trying to calm her hands had only made her start stuttering and it was beginning to annoy her.

"I'm sorry," she whispered and walked away, to a small small tree and sat underneath it in the shade tipping her head back against the bark with a sigh.

Responding only half-aware of Matt's presence even in the middle of conversation, Lite replied drowsily. "What, who changes? Man, I've changed a whole bunch, now I eat my fish with everything on it rather than everything but American spices. Those daft Americans. Hey man, I'm going to split for a while. I have some major cloud gazing to make-up for with all the time I've lost because of whatever we were doing in here." Even before Lite ended his little monologue, he had begun floating several inches above the ground towards the outside. Keeping a steady incline of elevation, Lite found himself back at the dormitories, but instead of on the roof, he planted himself upon the entrance to the dorms. Almost blocking the entrance to the dorms, he gazed and gazed, letting Bear climb all over his body and picking him back up if he ever wandered off. "Man, this is the life...but something is missing. Oh! I know, how could I have forgotton? Bear, let's go surfing!" Lite's epiphany led him all around the island as he was trying to make his way to the docks. Eventually he succeeded after about forty-five minutes worth of scavenging. Finding a plank board on the side of the beach, he made his way out and started spending his time riding the waves.

As spontaneously as he had begun, he finished just as hap-hazardously. Bringing the plank board with him, Bear was lucky enough that Lite got to his destination on the first try. Finally being returned to the dormitory, Lite and Bear went up to the room after a lengthy interrogation of the students as per the location of Lite's room. After finally arriving, Lite took out the window from its place and began an attempt at making a cage for Bear. I hope the roomy doesn't mind, but you need a place to sleep at night, Bear! After some mediocre attempts, a makeshift cage was built from the two panels of glass just making a triangle shape against the wall with no top. Lite flew through the window and decided that his neighbors didn't need their windows, so he took them and put them where his windows once were.

Aya blinked at the dog boy. Raising her eyebrow, she just walked forward.
"Well then I will leave you alone, but I do believe she has a mind of her own as well as a mouth to voice it. And it doesn't seem that you are following your own suggestion anyway. Weren't you the one that upset her in the first place? With your fighting? I was only trying to ease the stress she undeservingly had placed onto herself." she replied blankly.

Arkell looked over when the dog boy told the girl who had offered to help her earlier to bugger off, and then trotted over to sit beside her a few feet away. The corners of her lips twitched up in a smile at him as he stayed silent, though it was quickly gone as he began to check himself over, and she looked away from him to give a little bit of privacy. She would have been fine if Aya hadn't continued the bickering with a retort. Arkell groaned softly, seeing another fight coming, but to her surprise the dog boy stopped mid sentence and just walked away growling and muttering to himself. She smiled slightly again at his actions. She stood up and brushed herself off motioning for Aya to follow her as she padded silently after the dog boy.

Aya nodded at the girl and walked silently behind. She hadn't wanted to start another conflict. She had only wanted to help, but it seemed to be hard to avoid it. She blew out a breath of exasperation.
"I didn't mean to start tension." she stated blankly.
But I won't be ordered around by someone I wasn't addressing to.
She moved her gaze back to the grass, looking for geckos or something to catch her attention.

(( check the updates section, and I'm gonna update it further in a sec ))

Tess had lifted his head when he heard people coming, and blinked at Arkell as she went and lay down nearby, before looking to Aya. He grunted a bit, and shifted to move a little farther from them, only to lay down again. He had 'no fighting' on the brain for a moment, and he was sore and a bit tired. He gave out a heavy sigh, and rolled over onto his back, stretching out in a star figure, before crossing his arms behind his head.

Eyes closing, Tess took a deep breath and let it out, before opening his green orbs to stare at the sky. It was rather bright and sunny... He'd been indoors a lot more then he'd been outdoors, so he partially marvelled at it. The trees around them made it shady, too, though, and he turned his head to look at Arkell, only to jump a bit as his gaze landed on a Gecko not a foot away from him. He looked to the two girls, and then made a 'hmph' sound as if to say 'I wasn't scared', and settled again.

"Why'd you follow me?" he asked after some more moments' silence.
