Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wow, you're so early it's like,...not even noon. xD
Anyway that's fine Zero isn't around so...yeah...

Lol xD
That's good. (I see.)

Yes I would. ^^

Claire had gone back to where she lived. A medium shrine- resembling rock building built by Aura,who was her roomate. Aura spent much of her time outside,and when Lazuli came around she would crash there as well. Claire found Lazuli's tales quite intresting,and Aura's more so,considering they were first hand experiences.
She came inside and going to her room and directly to the bed.Her hat was thrown onto the bed,as where the long sleeves. Her belt was stripped off and abandoned with the rest of the things as well,with a heavy sigh. Claire took the envelope and sat down infront of her desk,reading the letter concealed carefully. The letter was written in gorgeous brush strokes,even when the letters where neat and lined up to perfection. The white piece of paper was a work of art.
She took a pen and piece of paper and begun to scribble the reply. Her writting was nothing compared to "Ruby's". It was lines and circles kept in check by the line paper's restrictions. When she finished she closed it in a new envelope,and labeled it"To:Esmeralda From:Crystal."
"Writting to her so soon?"
Claire was startled but she looked over her shoulder coolly. Aura stood leaned on the door frame arms crossed. The werewolf had long sealed her smile away, but it had not been replaced by a sort of hate, instead a solem silence.
"Yeah,she responded quickly."
"I can make the delivery myself." Aura nodded,as she walked over leaning over Claire and the paper,"How is she?"
"She is doing well,she says Suna is fine too."
"Good,If not I will sink Nicole." Aura chuckled grimmly turning to sit in Claire's bed next to her belongings.
"How about you? Have you received any letters from Rahvine or Zero?" Claire asked putting her envelope to the side to look at the guardian.
"From Rahvine not in a while,but her mail comes from Japan so I blame only the mail system." Aura stopped,her usuallu intense glare softened further,as she continued to Zero,"Zero's mail has not arriver,but he is death himself I doubt he is in any trouble."
Claire watched as Aura's look betrayed her words. Zero was Aura's sweetheart as one would say,and Rahvine her besr friend. They had all lived through the wars,side by side,but of course time passed and Rahvine returned to Japan and Zero to his work. Aura had since then changed, from a jolly carefree girl to a mature and serious woman. But thirteen years of figthimg does that to you. Claire knew this, which was why she had asked Aura to be her roomate. Also the fact Suna was her brother. The s.i.n general and "Ruby" knew each other well.
The silencr stiffened the air,and Aura's fingers moved to play with the dogtag-necklace she had always bared since Claire had met her."Lazuli is in town." Aura muttered to shatter the silence.
"She is?" Claire blinked.
"Yeah." Aura responded,"She was selling a couple stories in the square so she will arrive in a few minutes."
"Ah thanks." Claire smiled,then looked at Aura,"Its full moon,have you had anything to eat?"
"Nah." Aura shook her head.
As a werewolf,that beast had to be fed every full moon, with raw meat. This usually included elk or deer. Werewolves usually abstained from any processed food. Aura's eating habits though,had gone down the drain with her mood. Claire usually grew concerned because of that, as it was Aura was always edgy much more with a part of her wanting to tear everyone around to pieces. The senses are usually heigthened so ignoring the smell of meat took a great deal of self-restrain.
"You need to cut yourself some slack,"Claire sighed,"You deserve it."
"It doesn't matter much."Aura responded getting up and moving to the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To open the door,Lazuli is here."Aura continued out the bedroom.
It hit Claire then. Was it possible Aura was purposely starving herself to be able to protect the village better with the heigthened senses?
Her thoughts were cut as Lazuli stepped into her room."Yo Claire!" Lazuli grinned and lifted a hand to wave.
"Hello Lazuli,"Claire smiled a the story teller,"Sold many stories?"
"Yeah." Lazuli nodded,"Yours was a big seller~"
"Mine?" Claire blinked and blushed,"Did you go selling my story?!"
"Pretty much~" Lazuli chuckled,from somwhere she pulled out a scroll bouncing it in her hand."Quite apt for the smaller crowds."
"Oh brother."Aura came in standing by as well,she made a swipe at Lazuli's head. Lazuli, aparently saw it comming from being and collapsed her knees long enough for Aura's hand to smack her hat off and not cause any damage.
"Yup."Lazuli smiled at Claire,"Made a couple cry."
Claire frowned, Lazuli's words stung with mockery.
Aura,seeing Claire's expression, grabbed Lazuli and shouldered her. With the story teller slung over her shoulder, Aura looked at Claire,"We will get some drinks,you just stay here, or home anyway."
"Kya!Put me down!" Lazuli was trashing but Aura kept the word seller balanced on her shoulder.
"We will be right back." Aura waved a hand and walked out of the room and later the house.

After a good walk towards the grocery store,Aura kept Lazuli on her shoulder with a cold silence.
"I know I screwed up, but tell me when?" Lazuli was being carried, her arms crossed.
"You know how Claire's past goes." Aura responded coldly,"You shouldn't go diggin' into people's business,specially into the painful stuff."
"Sorry,I see it only as a-" Lazuli stopped looking at Aura's face."You care,you truly do?"
"....."Aura didnt respond.
"You pretend you dont but you do,and alot!"
"....."
"Do you care about everyone? Or like,just about a couple of people?"
"....."
"Come on!"
"Why would in tell you when you would make it into a story?"
"I want a best seller!"
With that,Aura's hold on Lazuli's ankles was done, Aura flipped Lazuli over her shoulder. The story teller landed face first into the dirt,"PLAH-"
"Get up and walk." Aura walked into the grocery shop.
"Pushy brat."
"I am older than you so shut your mouth." Aura snarled back.
Lazuli grumbled and followed her companion inside.

Claire was spread out in her bed depressed now,her hat on her stomach, when Aura arrived with a brown paper bag in her arm. Lazuli wasnt carrying anything, but she was the moral support.
"Hey Claire,come out I got'cha somethin' to eat." Aura called setting things down on the table.
Claire complied and went to the kitchen table"......"
"Its chinese food,"Aura rubbed the back of her head,"Sorry but not many places are opened 'round this time..."
Claire looked at Aura's eyes look to the side sheepishly,almost emberrased, and Claire couldnt help but to smile,"Its perfect,thank you Aura."
"No problem." Aura sat down at the side.
"Hehehe,I see alcohol~" Lazuli was going through the bag.
"Hey ya rat get away from that." Aura grumbled at Lazuli, using her own hat to smack at the story teller. Claire giggled as she ate.
Lazuli fell back onto her seat. Aura reached into the bag and pulled out another pack with food and set it down infront of Lazuli,"Thats for you."
"...?!" Lazuli blinked,"Really?"
"Yeah." Aura scoffed.
"You do care!" Lazuli hugged Aura sideways,who blushed. Claire waited for the punch but it never came. Aura patted Lazuli's arm awkwardly.
"Go ahead and eat before it gets cold." Aura muttered.
"Will do!"
With that the story teller and the witch ate, Aura making small talk with them. It turned out to be a relaxing night after all.

---------------------------
And Rahvine and Zero would probably be mentioned again once their lettters arrive :3

Yeah i had a bit off fun later after Claire got angry with LAzuli xD

WAIT I SHOULD BE DOING HOMEWORK gonk

Yeah cuse Aura just shoulders her and walks out xD


IKR DX -scribbling things down i Ap Bio notes itss short only 4 more pages and am done- x0x

LOL, if lazuli and Claire were to fight that would be very intresting xD

NYaaaaaaaa. but its double paragraphed... DX

Well Claire is an Ice Witch, she migth be small but her special attack and speed are high. Lazuli has no special abilities, but she has traveled alot, her defense and attack are high. It would be Lazuli trying to out manuver Claire's attacks and getting through the ice in order to actually cause damage......
Which reminds me i need some ability for Lazuli, poor girl can only punch ._.!

Well its mendelian genetics i know the basics and i am taking down words i dont know
