Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fae had heard great noise coming from the Centre and decided to check it out. Stepping inside, she noticed the amount of pinks, reds, and whites decorating the atmosphere. Smiling, she wore a white and pink polo and a red tulup skirt flowering around her knees. Wooden sandles were her choice of shoe and her hair was let down. This had to have been the only time when anyone would see her dressed up- she enjoyed holidays and believed in dressing up for them, just for fun.

Her two Fenthries flittered around her while she held Pueblo's jar in her hands. The blue glow stood out amoung the numerous tints of reds as Fae walked into the room further and looked around for her friends.

Fae heard Foenix's voice and grined, dashing over as Fenthries sky-trafficed. "Hey!" She replied back as she walked over, her wooden sandals clonking against the solid floors. "I'd lovea cookie," she spoke in an exaggerated voice and grined, plucking one offa plate.

Sage was flying all over the place, getting dizzy from all the bright colors like a confused dragonfly. As soon as he saw Freya fly over, his dizziness was relieved and took her hand. He needed to stand still or else these red and pink hearts were going to make him feel sick. He flew her over to a table where their guardians were. "I'm glad you're here too! Ombre, come geta cookie!" He called for her.

Ombre fluttered over, already a cookie stuffed in her face, or at leasta large part of one that unbalanced her flying."Cohmming!"

Alyosha finally returned with a large speaker, setting it up at one end of the hall. A quick jog another a moment later he returned with it's twin, trailing cabling with him. As he dissapeared yet again music, not too loud as to be anti-social but enough to give some background noise, started floating over the room.

Finally walking back into the main room, Aly blinked, realising that those in the room had changed. Some were missing and quite a few more had appeared. He smiled, retreating to the table to steal some more of the delicious cookies.

Foenixshrugged in response to Fae's question. "Could be. In all honesty, I came up with the garden idea to give Nehanda something to do. I have a lot of work to do during the day, and her physiology just isn't suited to most of the games, books, and other past-times I have around the house. But she's really latched on to the idea, so who knows?" She hummed softly in appreciation of the music. "This is nice, Alyosha. What is it?"

Nehanda tilted her head and brought it down until she was eye-level with Ombre. She knew Freya, and certainly liked her, but wasn't sure about these other Fenthry.

Freya glanced up as Nehanda approached, and smiled as she remembered her promise to Sage. "Nehanda, I'd like to introduce you to some friends of mine!" When the gryphon looked over, she gestured to Sage. "I think you've already met Ombre there, but this is Sage. He's a very good friend of mine from when I was really young!"

Nehanda turned until she was facing Sage fully. Folding her legs, she lay down on the table and merped softly to Sage in welcome.

Alyosha turned to Foenix "You know... i'm not too sure, I found an old stack of CD's and put them on to random.." He watched the little congregation of tiny creatures interacting until he was surprised by the sudden arrival of a strange figure clad in blue and white right into the middle of the party.

He blinked once, then twice, his sensitive nose finding no trail of illusion but here she was, in the middle of the party. "Er.. hello" he said jollily, offering a bowl of star shaped candy.

((*sigh* If it were only me, I'd be here until all hours of the night. But my husband needs to get up early tomorrow for work, so I think were heading to bed. Night, all!))

Foenix looked at her watch, and gasped. "Oh, my. I hadn't realized how late it had gotten. I've got a tele-conference with my boss back on the mainland early tomorrow morning, so I really need to get to bed. Kids," she gestured to Nehanda and Freya. "I'm very sorry, but we need to get going. We'll be back tomorrow."

Freya sighed. Foenix always seemed ready to rush off at the worst times! She turned to Sage. "I'm sorry. Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow, though." Feeling daring becasue of the holiday, she leaned over and placed a very quick kiss on Sage's cheek. Then she flew off to Foenix's shoulder as quickly as she could, her face bright red.

Nehanda merped good-bye to Sage and Ombre, and followed her guardian and "sister" off into the night.

((Later Foenix))

Alyosha was a little taken aback by the question. His hand still proffering the candies he pondered what or who this strange woman might be. Either way he couldn't see any reason not to tell her where they were, as much as his nose was practically tingling from her scent.

"Cetalu" he said simply before deciding he'd probably best elaborate. "A small island in a volcanic atoll in the middle of the ocean.." he trailed off unsure of what else he could tell her.

;_; "An island?" Her voice betrayed her as she squeeked and she couldn't help but look a little distressed. Without thinking she took the candies from him and shoved them in her mouth as she thought. Okay, that meant she had to make another trip home, somehow... she might be able to port again in a little while... but it'd be a while, surely. If this was an island, she was even more sure she wouldn't be able to find an acquaintence's place nearby to crash at.

She gave him another quick look, and then at the other ladies here. They were obviously not in the type of business she was, so she was best just relaxing. @_@ As she swallowed the last of the candy she realized how rude she had just been.

"Ah! Gomenesai!" She gave a slight bow. "I am afraid my mind wandered and so I ended up," she twitched, "a ways away from my destination. I don't even... really... celebrate this... festival of love... thing."
