Welcome to Gaia! ::

Saya finished her drink as Nala spoke, she nodded and put the dishes away for later. "I'll look forward to it." She remarked, mostly to herself.

"I'll be ready in just a moment." She said, running to grab her cloak, her messenger back with one of her mother's book inside, and her tanto before returning to the kitchen. She didn't know what she should be preparing for, she was still new at this. But, she was sure Nala had the necessary experience to get them both along. "Ready."

Nala smiled and headed for the door. She waited for Saya to lock up before walking towards the park. It seemed to be a fairly cold today, but she felt fine enough though. She took notice that Saya brought a weapon with her, a small sword or a very large dagger.

"Was that your mothers?"

"Nothing really, just first-crush syndrome." He said as he turned back around when she went to leaning back. It made her belly look larger than it actually was. In trying to keep calm, he rubbed her belly in the way she had asked earlier, causing her kids to kick. "I know I had it for quite awhile. I'll just ride it out till it passes."

"Gotta teach you how to use that then, or do you already know how?" Asked Nala. She figured that must have been the weapon she used to take down that phantom yesterday afternoon. Putting her hands in her pockets, she looked around, this place was filled with people, yet not many were out today.

"Too cold out for people to go out I guess"

Nala looked astonished. She shouldn't be surprised at this, something bothered her though. Why her father making sure of this? Wouldn't her mother had done this herself? Was she, was Saya's mother gone? She didn't want assume death, but if were true, Nala surely had not known this from her mother.

"Sounds like you know what you're doing with that then."

Nala walked with her best friend into the park, seeing the Cafeteria Chef just hang up from a call on her cellphone and figured she was with Newarva. She would have to remember to get one of those someday, people seemed to stop using communication magic, it was a form of Pandora Energy Manipulation, but that was such a mouthful.

(Goodnight, Whiters)

Newarva shrugged "Nothing that another pregnant mother with twins would have, that's what she told me." the professor had not known for sure the extent of Imra's pains, if any. "I can't take you there myself, but she lives in the Set B Dormitories. You can find her room number in the directory book."

She placed her hand on Kristina's shoulder. "You're full of good ideas Kristina, so go do as you must and I'll be there as soon as I can. I'm actually meeting one of your peers. She's connected to this in the same way I and Ursula are, Maidens."

"Ursula, the Chef?"

"That's the one, Lancelot. She's actually right over there." She thumbed behind her, sure enough Ursula was there. "It's a long story, but we, Nala and Saya's mothers have history together. Now go on you two, and don't worry about how you look. Appearances and normality won't be so important soon I fear." With that said, she began to push them away.

Taking the hint, Lancelot put his arm around Kristina and headed for the other side of the park, closer to the dorms. He thought upon what Kristina was thinking, about going to see Imra and checking out how someone that was Marked would affect him, and how he would affect her. He looked at her, concerned for Kristina and the like.

"You going to be alright, Kristina? I mean, about not being able to look normal."

“That’s one way of looking at it.” He thought, it was good to know that she was not worrying about it anymore. She must have listened to Newarva for a change after all.

“To be honest, I’m not. I just want normalcy again. You had a choice when it came to Nebula, to Almagest. I didn’t with this power, if you can call it that. All it seems good for right now is a poor excuse for a flashlight.” He joked, he looked at his hand, he could see his mark a little better now.

“I am perfectly okay with it, wasn’t yesterday proof of that? You can give me Nebula now if you wanted, and I wouldn’t hold it against you to have your normal life back. Slimes don’t usually have parents anyway if they die before they even hatch out of their eggs. Nebula sure didn’t, you so did you, and you both came out okay.” Lancelot sighed, She hatched, she had eyes, pretty soon everything else would form and it didn’t seem like that was through Kristina’s intervention. Almagest didn’t have an umbilical cord.

“Boyfriend and girlfriend?” He blushed at the words alone. There was something else that she has said that got to him more than that however. “I mean, yeah its true I do view us as siblings and I’m happy with that. If you never saw me as that type of person, you didn’t have to lie to me, Kristina.” He removed his arm from around her, as well as her arm from his shoulder. Lancelot was hurt, he figured Kristina only got close to him because she liked him, what ever reason that would be. He just didn’t share those feelings.

"Hello girls, you must be the ones Newarva called. She'll be back soon." Waved Ursula with a smile.

"Ursula, this is Saya, she learned of what she is. I brought her with me, it concerns her too." Nala gave Saya a little tap on the shoulder. The retired Maiden put her hands on her hips and examined her. Spitting image of her mother she was, she was sorely missed.

"Oh then in that case, nice to meet the next generation of maidens." She extended her hand to shake theirs. Nala shook her hand first, for someone so delicate looking in comparison to Newarva, Ursula had quite a strong grip. No doubt from her time as a maiden.
