Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pachua for his part was lying on his back in the grass, blinking up at the sky with dull burning eyes. He felt dull witted for a moment, unsure if this was a dream or… if this was some kind of place that dissipated monsters woke.

He curled his fingers in the cool grass and felt the places where the roots tangled into the soil, the thick blades of it tickling his palms.

“uh…” He blinked… and then embarrassment flooded over him, he was alive, he was alive and his shaking and nervousness and desperate STUPID attempt to defend someone he barely knew from unknown shadow monsters…

Had wound up with him lying on the grass staring into the sky with the very same Goul asking if they were okay. He covered his face in his hands and then his wings snapped shut awkwardly over this hands and face both to try and hide, drawing his knees up and wiggling his toes in the grass in a combination of selfish relief and gratitude that she was here, and he’d seen Remi, and everyone…

“…Yes… I think so.” He said quietly from inside the defensive shell of his wings and hands.

Something had come over her and she had fallen asleep, drifting deep into a dark, dreamless void of nothingness. It was the most soundly she had slept in a considerable amount of time, all things considered, and she was loathe to wake from it.

The voices of the other students stirring around her, however, seeped into her subconsciousness, drawing her back towards the surface slowly. She groaned, one eye opening only to close quickly against the light of day. "How..." Had she fallen asleep outside? Or had someone attacked her and knocked her out?

Bits and pieces began to filter through her thoughts as she sat up, bringing a hand up to brush fingers through her hair. She made a face as she plucked a twig and a few leaves out of her hair before glancing around. Definitely outside... And surrounded by other students that she didn't know with the exception of one whose plumage she would recognize anywhere at this point.

Not trusting herself to stand up quite yet, Aldara crawled across the grass only to flop down again next to Pachua feeling equal parts exhausted and rested, confused... And still just a bit hungry.
