Welcome to Gaia! ::

Toshiro chuckled a little as she pulled out her phone. Atleast then they could try to get ahold of the others. However, when she suddenly said how they were in deep trouble, and dove off the horse, he blinked for a moment before following. "Shinsei!" He landed not too far from her, a similar tuft of light following his land as well. "It's over there, what do you mean we're in deep trouble?"

Kuo-hao turned once to check that the girl was following her and again to check on the young man she had been seeing to earlier. She exited the main building of the inn and walked across a small courtyard to her family's house.

"Mother!" she called, looking around. She poked her head into her mother's room, "Momma? We have guests, they brought a gift for Tian-ming."

Kuo-hao's mother smiled softly at the two, "Thank you very much." At that moment the baby began to cry and mother turned her attention to feeding him. Kuo-hao stepped back and left the her mom to caring for the baby.

"If you guys want, I can treat you to a meal." she offered to the two, "But I really must be getting back to work." she said with a smile.

"Uhm..eheh.." Shinsei sweatdropped a little. I can't just blurt out that I think we're in Ancient China. That would so NOT be good for our status here.. "Well, if I'm going to say anything, I'd like to do it in private. Ya never know who's listening in."

Toshiro..We're in Ancient China. that's the only reasonable explaination. Obaba-sama mentioned each of the countries to me. I've heard stories and the such. Listen Toshiro, we're in deep trouble if it's indeed Ancient China. Foreigners, from a different world. It's just like the old stories I used to hear. Except, Ounen was the reject, with no God of their own. I never heard very much about Ounen, so I never cared about Ounen.

Hitting the '3' speed-dial on her phone, shinsei was trying to reack Tatsuko. "Tatss-saan, answer yer phone!" she whimpered, biting her lip. Their phones mayn't even have service. Much less, if it was indeed Ancient China, well then, phones wouldn't even be heard of.

The boy sat down quite content, shooting a smug grin at his sister. "Told ya." he whispered just as smugly as his grin. Ling merely shrugged him off with a sigh and a slight shake of her head.

She took a seat across the table from her sibling, folding her hands in her lap. Peng took the time to order as Ling found herself staring off into space. She was getting an odd feeling from this young woman, nothing uncomfortable mind you, something along the lines of 'where have I met you before?' Her train of thought was derailed with an obnoxious 'Siiiis!'

Her head snapped up to look at Kuo-hao. "A bowl of soup would be fine." she smiled, figuring she'd steal one or two of her brother's dumplings. She then felt an odd pulse on the small of her back, where she knew her Tei mark to be.

Smiling, Kuo-hao nodded, "Of course! I'll get your soup out for you soon!" She turned and walked toward the kitchen, ignoring the warm feeling on her right shoulder, just where her 'Kyoku' symbol would be.

If her symbol was acting up, could it mean? These same questions, this same feeling kept flowing through her mind throughout the day. She wasn't sure what had happened. She did her best to keep a smile on her face though, despite the uneasy feeling, because if the Priestess of Pangu has appeared, then there was bound to be trouble somewhere. Now... filled with worry for the lands, her smile appeared forced.

She returned to the siblings Ling and Peng and gave them their soup.

"I hope you enjoy it!" she commented.

"Probably...but maybe not." Shinsei bit her lip. She took his hand to pull herself up. Turning toward the person with the horse, Shinsei apologized for any inconviences. "If there's anything I can do at your home to make up for it, I'd be glad to help!" She beamed.

"How far till your home anyways?" Shinsei asked, beginning to walk in the direction she believed her house would be. "By the way, I'm Shinsei and this is my, well, this is Toshiro." She smiled, beginning to hum a song.

Though she didn't know it, not too far from this maiden, the promise of a healthy universe was ill. Deathly ill. And as the God Pangu watched the fate of his Universe dying, he subconsiously was observing his Priestess.

Kuo-hao laughed, "I'm not sure I'd mind. It's been so many years, we had thought it impossible for mother to have another child and as if in answer to our prayers. Our family was blessed with a baby boy. He's going to be an itelligent child, I just know it."

She glanced around, other customers needed help. She bowed politely to the siblings, "If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask." she said and returned to helping her various customers with a smile.
