Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yeah, we'll be good," Adan grinned at Feng. "I'm gonna go see if Shael's done with dinner yet, I'm hungry!" And with that, he darted into the kitchen.

Adwin ran over to Aliya and clambered up on the other side of her, grinning brightly. "Come sit, Feng!" he called, patting the couch beside himself.



Amdir grinned at Tao. He could see that she was friendly, and he could sense that she was curious. He smiled at her, holding out one hand, and then started making sounds at her, without knowing beforehand what sounds they would be, only what they would convey: greetings and reassurances.

Once they were up the stairs, Lin began the usual tradition of door counting, keeping her hands on the wall of doors as she went. As she couldn't see anything really unlike Shiro and Ura.

"Hmm... and here," she pointed to one door, "That would be Aragost's room, and Elro's is right across from it," she explained as she knocked.

After only a moment, Aragost's door opened and the tall man himself stood in the doorway, though he wasn't blocking it entirely.

"Hello again, Lin," he murmured, opening the door a bit wider. "Miyu will be ready in just a moment, she's just putting her things back in her bag."

He smiled at the two nekos from the shadows of his cowl. "And I see there are more Aldriches to meet," he murmured. "Hello, Shiro ... hello, Ura ... it is wonderful to meet you."



Adwin giggled and poked Feng in the side. "I'm gonna tickle you!" he announced with a squeal, wiggling his finger a bit.



Amdir chuckled and stroked the griffin's neck slowly. "Yes, you are beautiful," he murmured. "Kara was right though ... you are a bit too friendly with strangers ... we're going to have to train you up, aren't we? Yes we are ..."

Lin grinned, not at all surprised at Aragost's ability to know names, "Hi Aragost, hi Miyu! Hope you had fun."

She probably did, Miyu enjoyed this sort of thing, it was a good quiet activity for her, which was probably what made it so good.

Adwin squealed and folded like an accordion, wrapping his arms around himself to keep Feng from tickling his sides.

"Not fair!" he giggled. "You can reach more!"

Alyse, still sitting quietly on the other side of Aliya, peered over to see what was going on.



Amdir patted Tao on the head and cooed softly to her, telling her that he had to go inside but would be back out after dark. Then, with a final pat, he headed up to the house and stepped inside.



Aragost murmured a soft hello to Lin, but burst out laughing heartily at Ura's comment.

"I imagine that must be true," he chuckled, reaching down and patting the demon on the head. "I do tend to ... come across that way at times ..."

On purpose.

Ura stared evenly up at Aragost as if trying to decide something, and finally he nodded as if satisfied and said, "I think you're okay."

Shiro looked down at the little demon curiously, wondering what in the world he could have meant by a comment like that, but then he waved up at Aragost and turned to leave with the others.

Feng laughed as Amdir came through the door, she waved as well as she could having Adwin hang off of her.

"Thanks, and welcome home," Feng giggled, "It's good to see you too!"
Ryu nodded at that feeling, "It is indeed, how have you been doing?"

Amdir grinned at the two of them. "I've been well," he replied warmly, picking up Alyse, sitting beside Aliya, and sitting his daughter on his lap. "Horses need training, kids need taking care of, the usual. New son."

His eyes glittered brightly.

"And yourselves?"
