Welcome to Gaia! ::

Thali looked to Zach. "So.. I'm running out of things to talk about." She admitted, with a frown and a pause. She absentmindedly took a strand of hair and put it behind one of her pointed ears. "What kind of music do you play?" She asked.

Thali smiled. "Indie's good." She commented, and glanced around the restaurant for something to talk about. "So, have you guys seen anyone especially unusual?" She asked, curious. "I mean--with long pointy ears, or fangs, or wings, or anything especially cool."

Thali frowned slightly, she'd always found mythical creatures fascinating. (Of course she would, she was one!) Thali looked in the direction Zach had. She noticed the two men she'd seen earlier. Her face broke out into a smile. "I wonder what they are." She muttered. "They don't look like fae."

"It's another word for fairy." Thali explained. "But they seem to prefer being called fae--because, if you think fairy, you're going to end up thinking of the tiny things that light up woods at night (Those are fireflies), or Tinkerbell. They really don't like being compared to Tinkerbell."

Thali knew this from first hand experience. She'd once made Risa angry, when talking about Peter Pan. It was a bad idea.

Thali frowned, and bravely returned their stares. "What?" She asked, finally growing bored of their staring contest. They would have won anyway, she lost interest in such things fairly quickly. "Don't tell me you've never heard of fae before.. You've seen me though, so I know you know about elves, right? You at least know about us.."

((Thali: I don't think they liked me very much...))

Ceres went along the sidewalk, her grey tail swishing behind her. Fingering the money in her shirt pocket, she kept on searching for a restaurant that wouldn't throw her out. That got after annoying after five times. Finally, she came across a place that looked friendly enough. If they throw me out, I'll go complain to Mercury... she thought.
She slithered about two feet into the diner. No security guards running towards her to throw her on the curb. This was a good sign. Breathing a sigh of relief, she looked around the restaurant to find a place to sit when she spotted someone sitting all alone. Despite her conscience telling her otherwise, Ceres made her way over to that person. Finally reaching the table, she smiled sweetly and asked, "'Ello...Do you mind if I sit here with you?" It was then that she noticed the person had...pointed ears?

Ceres was slightly relieved that this new person was friendly. Seating herself with some great effort in the chair opposite the person while readjusting her long tail, she grinned. "M'name's Ceres. Pleasure to meet ya, Thali." Inside, she winced. Could she have sounded any less polite? At least try to use correct grammar!
When she heard the "where-she-was-from" question, Ceres was a bit apprehensive. After all, didn't Mercury always tell her not to give out her personal information to any stranger. "Uh..." she started. "Well, I, uh..." She started to blush. Trying to will herself to stop being embarrassed, she accidentally bent the fork she had in her scarred right hand in half. Eyes wide open now, she gingerly placed it back on the napkin.
