Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kisala bounded into the room. She'd been looking forward to this all week, and no amount of tantrum throwing on Ajiiel's part (why had she wanted to come anyways? Ajiiel hated stuff like this where she had to be social with non-criminals!) was going to stop her. Shiori had managed to get the other girl off of her just long enough for the tousled teen to make her exit.

A small frown lit her lips when she got there, though. Only briefly, though, before she donned a smile again. So what if she didn't know any of these kids? It was an opportunity to meet some new people!

Heading over to the snacks table, the jeans-clad girl popped a few candies in her mouth and checked out the scene, trying to decide who to approach first. Then, she spotted Joshua and Bishop. While she didn't know either very well, she'd met them before and that was a start, so she headed over that direction, waiting for a good chance to interject herself into the conversation.

She couldn't believe she was late! How could she have let herself sleep so long? It was supposed to have only been a small nap before the party, but she'd failed to wake up on time. She'd hurried out of the house, after saying good-bye to the twins and 'Zuba.

Nataya stepped in the room, feeling a bit awkward for showing up so late. She was donning a wispy lilac-colored sundress, and came bearing hand-drawn valentines with little heart-shaped Reese's cups taped to them.

She glanced around, recognizing a few people. She readjusted her hold on the bag, making her way over to the small group that had accumulated. "Happy Valentine's Day." she said, smiling brightly at every.

Nataya blinked as a boy handed her a card and some chocolate. She didn't seem to associate this "new" boy with the toddler she'd known as Josh. He did seem familiar, though. "Thank you." she said, nodding once and smiling at him. She opened the card, reading it. Then it clicked. It was Josh. But, when did he grow? "Here!" she said, holding out one of her Valentine's out to him.

Nataya smiled brightly at him. "You're welcome." she said, glad that he seemed to like it. She would have felt a bit bad if he hadn't liked it. She then blinked at his question. "Of course I like it!" she said, giggling. "Why wouldn't I like it?" After all, Josh had taken the time to make her a valentine himself; how could she not appreciate and like it after that? "You did a wonderful job on it. Thank you, Josh."

"So, when did you grow?" she asked, curious. It had to have been recently; she'd just seen him when they were at the mall a while back, and he'd still been a toddler then. So when did the growth spurt happen?

To be completely honest, Josh could have just scribbled on a piece of paper and Nataya would have liked it. After all, the way she figured it, he'd taken the time to make it for her, so she should like it. It was the thought that count, right?

"You haven't been a child long, then, have you?" the little fairy said, offering a small smile. "Have you gotten the hang of things yet?" If he still had a few things he wasn't sure about, she'd be more than happy to help explain them!

Nataya blinked, looking confused. Falling asleep? Why would they go an do that? It seemed like an awfully rude thing to do! "Maybe they aren't getting enough sleep?" she suggested, not wanting to assume they were simply doing it out of lack of manners.

She frowned faintly. "Why would they stare and point?" she asked, tilting her head to the side. She couldn't believe Thali would just laugh. Mommas were supposed to make their children feel better when they were feeling bad, not find it funny. It seemed like such a mean thing to do, and Josh's mother seemed so nice.

Kisala nodded in greeting to Joshua and opened her mouth to say something just before he bounded off to greet Nataya. Shrugging, the girl decided that now would be a good time to start handing out Valentine's.

Hers were the pre-bought sort, her having little creative ability outside of music, but she'd made sure to attach a little candy to each one and to write the names of people she knew who might be there on them.

Slowly, she made her way around the room, giving ones with names on them to the people she did know, and ones with "Happy Valentine's Day!" written on them to those she didn't-- no reason to let people miss out just because she didn't have their names!
