Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alexandre shrugged at Handy's question. "I dunno," he said, "but she was only just coming to when I left." He eyed the large man who had been in the cave earlier. "You must be... Mr. Sartharion?" he said with an uncertain smile, "I'm the great earl Alexandre Blanc."

Roger frowned at Ritsmi. "Wait... So you weren't kidding?" he asked, dread slipping in. "What the hell happened here..." he muttered under his breath with a curse and a twinge of annoyance, "now I'm stuck here baby-sitting this kid?!" Roger sighed, extinguishing the unneeded green fire with the wave of his hand. "Well... In case you haven't noticed, we're in a shack right now," his voice dripping with sarcasm, "no really, where did you think we were, on Mars?"


Vivi turned up to the sound of Akio's voice. "Oh, back already," she said with a small smile, putting down the now empty bucket. She looked back at Leila dejectedly, it seemed that whatever magic Kari had used on her was a bit too strong...

"Indeed I am. A pleasure to meet you. Pardon me if I sound rude but, Why did you spy on us? (That seems to be what everybody is doing)" Sartharion took a glance at Avery and Jin before they left.
"Mr. Alexandre, would you like some tea? I just harvested the herbs." Nekone walked over to the kitchen area of the cave and got out some teacups.

"I sure would, thank you very much," Alexandre replied. He tilted his head to one side for a second. "Strange... I thought I heard a cat mew just now..."
He gave a shrug and proceeded to sitting comfortably on the ground. "Alas, who ever said we meant to spy on you?" he said to Satharian, "it just seems that fate has made our paths cross."

Roger glared at the closed door. Then he gave a huge sigh before going outside after Ritsmi. "Hang on!" he called out after her. 'It's not as if I could let her the way she is now, run around like that in these parts of the forest...' he thought, running to catch up to the girl.

Alexandre raised his eyebrows in question but didn't ask as he sat down into the chair Nekone had pulled out. "Thank you," he said simply, picking up the teacup to drink.

"Do I seriously have to? You're right above the ground!" Sartharion walked in front
of the Bratty Princess and held out his hand. "Mi'lady. Please, come in." Sartharion said in a false polite voice.
Nekone went back inside and pulled out another chair, and poured tea into another teacup. Knowing Cordelia, she got out some cake too. "Do you like the tea Mr. Alexandre? Here, have some cake too." She sliced the cake onto a plate and passed it over in Alexandre's direction.

Cordelia slapped Sartharion across the face, "How dare you speak with such disrespect to me! You know who I am and that is no way to talk to me!" She was furious with Sartharion but calmed down when she saw cake, "OOH! Thank you Nekone!" Cordelia sat down and sipped her tea. "I guess Frederick did all of that work for nothing. Serves him right for lying to me. -.-" She took another sip and noticed the stranger across from her. "Why hello there. Nice to meet you too" Cordelia then took a bite of cake. "MMM! Nekone, your cakes are always so yummy!"

"Why thank you! Both of you. I made some cakes for some guests we had yesterday and I guess I made too much. We have plenty more cakes if you finish that one. Or you can take one for your friends ^u^"
"What the heck was that for?! I see...After 10 years you haven't changed." Sartharion took another glance at her. "At all. You'd think that she would grow at least a little."
"Master! Please....Sit down" Nekone tried to change the mood and pulled out another chair, poured another cup of tea, and served another slice of cake. "Miss Cordelia, why exactly are you here? I thought you had a meeting with Cecil in Sekritimah."
