Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fauve blinked a little bit and stood up slowly from the stump she was sitting on. She heard a very startled noise behind her and she turned around to see her guardian. Fauve's hands clenched again and she felt like turning and running back into the forest, more willing to take her chances there then deal with everyone else.

Merci had no idea what happened, one second she was looking for a trail, next thing she knew Fauve was sitting not two feet away from her. Merci watched the young girl stand and straighten out her skirts gracefully. Next thing Merci knew she was on her knees in front of Fauve and hugging her tightly. This had frightened Merci alot more, she'd known that Fauve was alright, and generally where she was last time. This had been completely different, and while looking for a trail Merci had begun to think that the girl might be dead somewhere. She stood up and didn't say anything to Fauve before turning around and walking with her ward back to the main colony.

Fauve straightened her shoulders and tentativly called out to Ashirha 'Ashy? Ashy thank you, Thank you so much I found out what I needed to know because of you. I'm so sorry, I don't know where I was, but... but I'll tell you everything when we're alone later.'

Merci gets to the square and looks over at G_E, she gives her a big hug and smiles a little bit. "Sorry, I was, well... worried. Thanks for your concern and generous offer to help find her." Merci lets go of G_E and looks at everyone "Thank you all for your concern and interest in her health and wellbeing. I appriciate it more then you know." She glances over at Haisyn, "but I think it might be smart if we had our talk now....... before something else happens, agreed?"

Fauve knew that everyone would be angry with her, but if Ashirha and Kasai treated her differently, then she would rather spend time with the nice lady who at least listens to what she has to say. She sounded like she understood what Fauve was feeling, and she said that she was a concerned sister too. Fauve tried to look for Nika but he didn't seem to be within sight, She'd have to keep an eye on him, the woman seemed interested in his wellbeing.

*Kasai walks over to Fauve when she comes into view* You are back *smiles and looks her over* and not hurt. I am glad you are alright, where were you? *Then seeing Ashy fall as she tried to run he stiffles a laugh* You better let that one go or she is going to drag you Galilee.

*Cinder smiles* Yep sounds like things are ok.

Galilee used the hunting knife to cut the rope about an inch past the knot on his wrist. He followed, putting the knife away. What's it matter? they're just going to run off again and slow up progress here....again.

"Oh, be nice, Galilee..."Kaliska sighed and watched the rest of the group. She nodded to Cin, "Ready when ever you are."

Aricin nods, "My mother always said that you could only tell if it was someone that you cared about doing the gossip... whether you like or despise them, you have to feel strongly in order to pick up on it."

Trivii approaches the garden a little ill at ease, "I just saw that red head, you know the really pretty one..?" Trivii blinked noting Kataio, "Why hello again Kataio was it? I mean the red head with the short hair, not you, not that you're not pretty. The girl whose mask child ran got lost in the woods. Well apparently the little lovely has vanished again, and she is off looking for her.. I offered to go help her find the chit, but she says that she'll get her back without causing trouble for the rest of the colonists.." She shrugs tossing her pale blue hair a little, "I was just looking for something to do... something that would get me out of the garden for a while." She flops back on the graveled walk way, landing with a surprising grace and comfort.

Trivii glanced arround noting the aid of little Zahar, pruning the vegetables, then the recent sudden progress and the abondoned edging a few paces away with a raised eyebrow and suspiscious glance at Aricin.


Aricin glared back a little embarassed but gave a firm shake of his head, "I was about to go offer my aid, but I guess its good that I didn't, and the little girls name is Fauve. Kata.." He glanced at the woman, "It is okay that I call you that right?" He shifted his gaze back to Trivii, "Kata and Zahar came to see if they could help with the garden, finishing up from where you got ill, why don't you go take care of the Peppermint over there," He points, "It's been failing almost since the day it was planted."

Trivii smiled shaking her head a little grimly, "I guess I can do that, I just was hoping to help in another aspect, but I'll wait until 'Fauve' is recovered before further offering to fortify or help with general construction..." giving a parting nod to the pare, she climbs to her feet, moving to the other side of the garden to take care of the peppermint, giving Zahar's hair a gentle tug enroute, "I always wanted golden hair, you're so lucky." Winking she moved the few paces off to begin nursing the peppermint.

Aricin gives Kataio a look of amusement, resuming their conversation, "Cobwebs... skeletons... I don't have as many as most people, just enough to make life intersting... Thats why she and I decided to help settle Masquerade, How did you come to be here? That is if its not too personal?"

Trivii glanced back at Kata with a big Wink, and a smile at the mask.... "Your welcome Zahar."

Aricin nods and quietly smiles at Kata, "Kata it is then... I came with Trivii to help her escape her past, I never knew if I would stay or go after everything was established..." He slides a dirty hand through hs hair, "But... I'm starting to believe that I could make a home here... escape my own past, if thats ever going to be posible." Aricin glances discretely and barely noticably, down at the gun he hasn't taken off since their adventure in the woods.

Haisyn didn't need to drag Ash, she happily bounced after Fauve toward the house. She didn't seem to mind being in trouble so much now that her sister was back and allright.

After they got inside and sat everyone down, Haisyn thought for several minutes, not quite sure how to start. She'd never been very good at taking discipline, much less giving it...

"Ok... I'm not very good at this, I guess I'll just say what I think I need to say. Your pranks and mischief making I can handle. But I - not the camp but ME, personally - need you to be careful. Don't keep running off. If you ran off, and I couldn't find you in time, and something happened to either of you... I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. This isn't about me being mad at you, or about what's best for the camp. Or even what's best for you, although it probably IS what's best. This is for my own sake. I've... lost too many people I care about. I'm not sure if I could handle losing one of you girls."

Haisyn shifted her gaze to Merci, raising an eyebrow and smirking slightly. "That goes for you, too, you know."

Ash frowned slightly, her eyes scrunching up. I didn't want to make you sad, Haisyn. But I gotta look out for Fauve. She's my sissa. I couldn't forgive myself if anything happened and I lost her. I gotta protect her...

Haisyn sighed. "Ash, right now, are you really even capable of protecting her?" Ash had been acting really weird since whatever happened last night. It kinda made her worry...
