Welcome to Gaia! ::

< ninja Yo, people.>>

*The elevator stops at the bottom floor, and the doors open. Taliman steps calmly out of the pod, yawning to himself with his arms folded around his chest. His eye is lazily half-shut as he looks around, his tail swaying lazily through the air behind him. He hasn't had much to do lately, aside from whatever time he manages with Satomi.

It strikes him as a little odd, how much he has found himself drawn closer to her in the past few weeks. Even so, he isn't letting those thoughts and feelings cloud his true goal. he is still continuing his training every day, to prepare. Seeing no one present, aside from Faye at the bar, he decdies to head in the same direction, for a drink.*

Stepping in from outside, Satomi ran her fingers through her silky black hair streaked with red. It was cold outside, more then usual, despite it being a clear day out. It wasn't too surprising, considering where Orion was located. She was only happy the cold didn't bother her for some reason. Well, except that one time when the mineral was still feeding heavily off her blood. Shaking the thoughts off, the girl cast her gaze into Orion, hunting for people.

She noticed two, Tali adn Faye. Smiling, her hand rose in a brief greeting to both. Walking over there, she reached Tali's side in a brief moment. Leaning over, she planted a light kiss on his cheek in a greeting. Sliding onto the stool to his right, she rested her hands on the bar top. Looking at Faye, Satomi smiled once more. "Been a while sicne I've spoken to you last. How are things?"

*Continuing his stride towards the bar with his arms remaining tightly folded, Wesley glances briefly in Faye''s direction, his expression blank as he turns away once more, stopping the bar counter inbetween two stools. As per his usual, he finds himself a bottle of vodka, not bothering to find a glass for his drink. Unfolding his arms and lifting his right hand, a vodka bottle floats from one of the shelves, falling gently into his grasp.

He glances over to his right as Satomi walks in, and a faint smile spreads across his face. He tilts his head away for a moment, chuckling soflty under his breath as she kisses him on the cheek. Still holding the bottle, he shakes his head slightly, turning around and nodding upward to her in a return greeting. Leaning his back against the counter now, he twists the bottle cap off and takes a pull from it, scanning about the room silently.*

The girl's lips parted for a moment as Raleigh moved away, about to protest. She closed her mouth, frowning slightly. It wasn't her place to argue with the other female about whether she left, though it was a bit disappionting. They had yet to speak more then simple exchanging of names, or a greeting. When here, Satomi usually ran across Tali or Deity. Or she had something to do. Like at the moment. She needed to speak to Tali anyways. Or rather, say good bye.

Her lips thinned slightly at the sight of the vodka bottle, but not commenting. Tali had yet to drink and get drunk in front of her, so she wasn't too bothered. Turning her body so her right elbow rested on the bar, she lowered her head to perch on it as she gazed at him. A tiny smile played across her lips, thinking of the turn of events. Never did she think she'd end up with Tali.

Sighing, emearld orbs fluttered half shut. "I won't be around for about a week." The young girl spoke bluntly, slender white ears rising a bit. Left hand lifting, she removed he glasses sitting on her nose, folding them in one hand and setting them on the bar. A grin formed on her lips as she sat up. She was now turned so she was facing him, Satomi leaning forwad. "Think you'll live without me for a while?"

<< Hello again Faye.

.. I'm cleanng. So besides posting, I'm not on the computer. > <; >>

*Blinking a few times at the odd surprise of the girl's comment, Taliman arches an eyebrow at her, having to turn his head completely in order to face her - since she is to his left, he must look at her with his right eye to see her. He ponders the idea for a moment, wondering what she is doing for a week, and where she might be going.

For just a moment, he thinks of reading her thoughts. Very quickly however, he finds that he shouldn't, when he wouldn't think twice with any other being. Deciding to try and figure out the nomal way, he sets the bottle of vodka down to his left, setting the bottlecap to his right, both on the counter. Resting his palms on the stools to either side of him, he looks at her curiously, his blue eye narrowed.*

Where are you going? Or is that not my business?

"Well.." Satomi sat back, emerald eyes glancing upwards. Her teeth found her bottem lip, knowing Tali wouldn't exactly be pleased with the answer. Nothing that involved his brother made him happy. Still, she wasn't going to lie. Simply not being one to do such a thing. Also, she had no desire to keep the truth from Tali. "Deity and I are gonna go to Orion." Slipping off the stool, she sighed and stepped closer to him. Gaze returning to him, she smiled tentively as her brow creasing. There was only mild nervousness that he'd get pissed off.

"I know you probably don't agree, but Deity and I are friends." Pressing her lips together, Satomi's left hand came to rest on her hip as the index finger of her right hand poked his nose. Body tilting forward, she narrowed her eyes at him in mock anger. "So you'll just have to deal." Giggling suddenly, she pressed her lips to his, arms slipping around his neck. Whether he'd complain or not, she didn't care. Tali would just have to deal with her the way she was.

Pulling back slightly, the girl kept her arms slung loosely around his neck. "I could've simply not have told you, but I felt like it was needed." Her slender shoulders rose in a brief shrug, Satomi falling silent then.

((Never fear for User is here.))
