Welcome to Gaia! ::

With a few hiccups, poke watched the man whom she yelled out to come over to their table and ask a question. Her brow furrowed in confusion. "Beats? we dun hav no beats here sir. But we had drinks. They're gone now, and so is the food." she swayed dangerously in her seat. "I don't know were the food went to though." Her head then fell to the table where she seemed to sleep for a few minutes, and then when she looked up again she saw riyo and, pointing at her fluffy ears she squeeded in delight, "kitty! it's a widdle kitty!"

Meal had been finished for a few minutes now, and Hitsu seemed intent on keeping an eye on the other three. She didn't look too happy about their predicament, judging by the small frown she wore. Sure, Kyo might have been someone they had just met, but this couldn't have been the best of first impressions. Not that she knew the girls too well either, but so far as Kyo knew these people were close to her.

She looked up a bit startled as Mitsu started waving at the man across the room, and she leaned in close to her. "Mitsu, you need t-" She blinked, cutting herself off as she looked up again and noticed that he was approaching the table. Apparently, Mitsu really did know this man. To his request to sit, Hitsu managed a smile and nodded. "I don't mind." She glanced toward Kyo, since he seemed the only one in his right mind to confirm or deny the invitation.

Yuki's legs were slowly becoming less and less of a burden to use, be it from the medication, walking out the pain or a mixture of the two. It was almost as though his muscles were relaxing after a horrible calf cramp. Unfortunately, with this ebbing away of pain, his confidence was returning. It was several steps before they'd reached the clothing shop that Yuki had taken to glancing here and there in the crowd. Though, Hitsu wasn't the only one on his mind. Light headed? Sure, his vision reeled if he jerked his head too fast, but otherwise he did his best to ignore it. He still kept an eye on Neko, in order to not fall too far behind. Once they'd entered the shop, Yuki left Neko to question the shopkeep, while he stood not far from the doorway, gazing out toward those passing by. A brief glance was given toward Neko as he described his sister, eyes narrowing a bit. Lucky for Neko, Yuki hadn't heard his words, only an incoherent whispering. Suspicious was apparently pushed aside, and he returned his attention to the street.

Just before the clerk's mention of the girls' possible location, Yuki gave a short gasp. Not from the boy's words, no, had he heard that his sister was in company of a strange man he likely would have shouted something different. "There they are!" He called, though his tone and the growl that accompanied it suggested that he had not seen his sister. Without another word, let alone waiting for his companion to figure out just what he was upset about, Yuki was out in the street. He nearly met the ground headfirst as he jumped the trio of steps out front, but quickly caught himself and just as quickly paused again, looking franticly about in the direction he'd seen glimpse of a dark haired man quite taller than he.

[Yes Inu, you have permission to have Neko grab him before he hurts himself again. 8D;]

The fork had repeated its last movement, plate to mouth, and Kyo set the utensil at the top corner of his plate. To anyone not familiar with the manners of nobility, this would have seemed to be a rather useless gesture. It was, however, a visual cue that he had finished his meal. He was roused from his introspection by X's question.

"Erm, sure. By all means." He said, unsure if he was another of Hitsu's friends. He sunk into his chair a bit. He didn't like the idea of washing any more dishes than he had to, and the idea of being expected to pay for every passing acquantance was unsettling. "I'll be washing dishes for weeks." He mumbled to his empty plate and imagined how prunie his hands would get. Daelik was notorious for being a harsh taskmaster when it came to Kyo. This thought made him sink a bit lower into his chair. Normally, becoming one with an inanimate object takes years of meditation. Kyo managed to become one with his chair in a matter of moments.

((cow....juice....XD))

poke had already forgotten about the man that had asked to sit on their table, and had now seen mitsu again, as well as her fluffy tail. She grined, reaching over to pet mitsu on the head as if she was a little puppy. "Aren't you a cute widdle puppy! and we have a little kitty too! we have lots of widdle animals" head swaying to a unknown beat, she began to sing, "nyu ny nyuuu, nyu ny nyuu!"

With a slight nod of acknowledgement X slid out the chair next to Mitsu. Taking his seat he looks at Mitsu and asks "How ya doin kid?" He then threw back a shot. "Wow, this stuffs terrible, whats he do? Pee in a bottle and let it sit for a year? Hopefully this stuff works better than it tastes." He thought to himself. Looking at Kyo, X thought about the fact that he was the only one in the group that was in decent enough mind or body to be of any danger to him. X needed to know more about this guy. X offers his hand to Kyo "Joachim Xerome, but friends call me X" knowing full well he didnt have any friends he felt kind of bad telling him that, but he cant just come out and say "Hi, I'm the messenger of Death, how are you?" But there was Mitsu , but is she a friend, thats a good question, what is she to you?

Happily, Mitsu’s tail wagged behind her as Poke patted her on the head. She really was much like a dog starving for the least bit of attention. When the singing started, however, Mitsu tilted her head curiously. What were they doing? She hadn’t been there for the initial start of the tune in the forest so she was curious to know how everyone seemed to know it. Maybe it was a song everyone sung? But what did it mean? Her mind continued to roll over the possibilities until she had to stop, her brain was starting to hurt.

Looking toward X and Kyo, Mitsu seemed to pick up on some sort of tension between the two but she couldn’t really place the feeling. It was unfamiliar to her. She stared at X for a moment longer, like a child mesmerized by his presence. Curiously she began to poke at his coat pockets to see what they contained. Maybe he had some sort of treat?

The falcon seemed to acknowledge Yuval’s invitation, and took off into the skies to follow him from above. It would be much easier that way and maybe perhaps the bird could lend its eyes to him. Suto had instructed her to be helpful if the need arose. So silently she followed Yuval’s figure in the forest below, the silvery moon light reflecting off her silvery plumage.

Slightly bowing, but never taking his eyes of Kyo X replied, "Pleasure to meet you Kyo." After a short shake he turned his attention to Mitsu who was poking around at his pockets, He had no qualms with this because he kept all his important items in the pockets that are in the inside of his coat. "Not gonna find anything there kid, but there is something here." Reaching to Mitsus ear he mocked pulling a small hard candy from behind her ear, and placed it in her hands.

" How do you do ladies, my name is X how may I adress you?" While addressing the others at the table his mind was stuck on Kyo, X began to mentally pick Kyo apart. Lets see, He's dressed well, a little too well to be in this little hole of a town. X then noticed what to most would slip by as insignificant. He noticed the placement of Kyos fork on his plate, either this was done intentionally or its one hell of a coincidence. His speaking was very eloquent and fluent. He definatley had at least knowledge of noble manners. But his hand shake, firm, his hands callused. Nobleman dont wipe their own butt unless they have to. And his auras immense. And where have I heard that name before? While listening to the others X poured himself another drink. He needed somemore, his left arm was starting to burn again. He could block out pain in battle but continuos pain without adrenaline to help needed a little more, "Coaxing" if you will, to be ignored. Amongst everything else going on his stomach inturrupted his thought process. "Wheres my food?" he thought.
