Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mau saw her flailing but wasn't able to do anything to save the poor woman. However Nyx was not the only one who disliked the dramatic chingling. Ire was up and used Nyx's head as a springboard to intercept the monstrosity that was the chinging. Mau was sure he saw this in slow motion as the jolteon now was chasing the chingling around the floor, trying to herd it into the bathroom, all the while Uta was CHONGing loudly and flailing his straw.

Aki came out from under Mau's bed with a pokeball in his mouth watching Ire chase the chingling. It was entertaining, but with a glance at Mau and Nyx, well, it was time the chingling went away for now. He joined Ire in the chase of the chingling until Aki finally got him back in the ball. He pawed at the button to shrink it down and promptly flopped down on it.

Ire was bristled and still looking at Aki and the pokeball with the offending pokemon within. Mau looked at Nyx and gently pat her leg- as it was all he could reach without being inappropriate. "Sorry, I didn't know Uta was out."

"Mmm, not really. But, I've seen worse." He replied softly, watching her as she rolled over and reached towards the jolteon. Ire simply looked at her, ears cocked curiously. She was unsure what that gesture was, so she stood, stock still while watching Nyx. "Next time, you should bring the right movie, and we will watch that." He shifted, folding his legs up so he sat cross-legged on the bed.

Mau was watching her as she covered her face. He wondered what was wrong now. Her tone spoke volumes of disappointment. "I think Aki liked this movie... but is there something not as trite as a girl needing to be saved like that? If I let Aki watch too many movies like that he might get the wrong idea."

"Aki really doesn't need to be any more feminine than he is. He already acts like a mother for Nuu and Ire. At least for Nuu it's understandable. But seriously, he does not need to be more girly... why not dress up Ire?" The jolteon was still watching them, but as her name was mentioned, her ears swiveled up and her head tilted her head, much like an inquisitive puppy.

"Isn't that a good quality of a princess? To be reserved and soft spoken?" Though Nyx's comment only made Mau laugh, causing him to once again clutch at the bandage over his stitches. "If I'm a princess, what are you, the evil queen?" His eyes glittered just slightly with mischief.

"And then, just who would be my prince? Akemi? Nadja?" No, he really wasn't the princess. "Sorry, I just don't see it. I can't picture me waiting for my prince to come." Mau shifted a little so he was leaning against the head of his bed, looking at Nyx "I could at least be the huntsmen. Either the turncoat trying to protect the princess, or go carving up a wolf to save the young girl and her granny." Oh yes, he knew fairytales. Or at least the classics.

Mau had to think about this a moment. "Liam." He finally said. "He does have a girls uniform after all. And ... oh, who's that little mousy girl with the teal braids? She can be the princess's animal friend and only companion." This was a silly conversation. Why were they doing this? Because Mau wasn't a princess.

While they were speaking Aki had left his post of guarding Uta's pokeball. Ire had begun patting at and licking his head fins. And after not too long, they began playing. one would chase the other around the open space of the floor, and the bathroom, hop into the shower, and race out of the bathroom again in some mutated form of tag. They weren't totally paying attention to where they were going, and Ire ended up sliding into the table which was tucked away in the corner. As she skittered away, the pictures which sat, framed on it's surface shook, and one fell from the perch, landing on the floor with the unmistakable tinkering of breaking glass.

The picture, one of Mau, a much younger looking Mau, and a young green haired woman, now lay face down in the shards of glass.
