Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cin grins and grabs Merci` by her sides, "I don't know how you know if I snore or not. Since if I did it wouldn't be able to be heard over your snoring." Cin looks down at Athena as she tries to 'clean' the mirror surface.

Maybe if she wiped the mirror clean more it would let the boy out. Grabbing a small rag from the table Athena went about wiping the surface again.

"Athena, I have cleaned the mirror over and over again...I don't think you are going to make it cleaner." Cin sighed and then looked over to Merci` "I don't want to go far in case the boy gets out of the mirror, so we are kinda limited on what we can do today."

Cin smiles, "Of course you can stay the night, I stayed up a good portion of last night waiting to see if the boy had decided to come out of the mirror or not. So it will be nice to have someone else around," Cin stifles a yawn. "As for torturing Kasai, you will see him at dinner tonight." Laughing Cin sits on the bed and pulls Merci`onto her lap, all the while minding the girl's tail. Leaning on Merci` slightly she watched Athena fussing over the mirror.

Cin pulled the other woman onto the bed with her and snuggled up against her as she was being pet. Through half slit eyes she watched the mirror and then fell into a light sleep.

Athena watched the fox eared woman carefully as she pulled the mirror closer to her. Settling down she curls up by the handle of the mirror apparently ready to take a nap as well.

Athena started waking slowly, using her paw to stifle a yawn she looked down at her mirror. Her mouth dropped open with what she saw, her boy was missing! Paniced Athena ran her hands over the now clear glass, the only thing looking back at her now was her reflection. Raising her head she looked around sharply she had to find Cin and make her bring the boy back, as she looked she spied something strange. Laying on the end of the bed was the red haired boy from the mirror. Excited Athena zoomed over to him and landed lightly on his shoulder.

The little boy shook his head slightly and looked over at the little nef on his shoulder, he smiled at her. He remembered her from when he was in the mirror. Blinking the sleep out of his eyes the little boy pushes himself up from the bed and sits on the edge looking around the room.

Feeling the bed move Cin wakes from her sleep, expecting to see Merci` climbing out of the bed she is surprised to find that the kitsune is still sleeping. Untangling her arm from Merci`'s she looks around the room and stares wide eyed at a cute little red haired boy sitting on the edge of her bed. "Hello," Cin regains her composure, "I see you decided to come and join us" Sitting up she looks him over a bit, my he really did look like her, except for the red wings but those even looked kinda like the wings of the dragon tattooed on her back.

The boy looked around the room nervously, then seeming to come to a decision he nodded toward Cin, "hello." the hello was a bit shaky and it was apparent that he still had the vocabulary of a small child.

Cin grinned slightly when she saw his outfit looked alot like her pilot outfit. Hmmm, "well how about some breakfast. It looks like we slept through dinner last night and I am sure you are hungry." With that Cin leaned down and picked the boy off the bed. "But what to call you...do you have a name?"

The boy looked confused a moment and then shrugged. As Cin carried him toward the door he looked over his shoulder to see if that little red mouse thing with wings was following. He laughed slightly when he saw Athena barreling through the air toward him and the tall woman.

Athena flew as quickly as her little wings would carry her, she wasn't going to be left behind while the food bringer carried off her boy. With another burst of speed from her wings she landed lightly on his shoulder and then clung to the collar of his shirt for dear life.

Cin thought a moment and then looked up at the boy's fiery red hair, smiling she knew what she would name him. "Do you like the name Rhys?"

Hearing the woman talking to him he turned to look at her, "Rh-ys" he said and then he tried again, "Rhys" nodding he decided that he liked it.

Cin laughed, "alright Rhys you are then and for breakfast we are going to have pancakes. Then if your Auntie Merci` isn't awake yet we are going to go and wake her up." Cin set Rhys in one of the chairs at the table and went to grab some things out of the cooler in the mess hall kitchen.

While he waited for the woman to come back Rhys kept himself busy by playing with the mouse eared thing.

Cin looks over at Merci` smiling slightly as she watches the other woman with Rhys. Hopefully she would understand why she had woken up alone in the bed. The two cherished the morning waking ups almost as much as they did the going to sleep part. With a slight sigh she walks past the kitsune, pausing a moment she leans over to kiss the tips of Merci`'s fox ears. "A place of our own...." Cin muttered thoughtfully as she laid the eggs, vegtables, cheese, and meats on the counter. Cin sighed slightly at the thought this ship was her home, but Merci` was right they did need their own place; and what of Rhys and Squee both the small boys should have a place that didn't have metal gratings on the floor to grow up.

Really Cin you let things bother you too much. Came a bit of mumbling mind voice as Kasai interjected his opinion. As the thought filled her mind the door of the mess hall swished open and Kasai wanders in, wearing only wine red silk boxers he stops dead in the doorway when he sees not only Merci` at breakfast but also some strange random boy. Who is he? Can't I come to breakfast comfortably without having to worry about who will be here to see?

Hearing Kasai's complaining made Cin smirk and snort slightly in an unlady-like manner. "Nice boxers," She grinned and started cutting up some green onions quickly using her long fingers expertly.

Blinking slightly Rhys turned to look at the tall red haired boy in the doorway, he had heard all the other boy had said. Frowning slightly he turned to look at him, he curiously looked at the mask a moment before he attempted to say something. I'm Rhys...I'm suppose to be here...I think.

As Rhys spoke those words Cin dropped the knife she had been cutting with and slit a small cut in her finger. Sticking the bleeding finger in her mouth with a soft curse she just looked over at Rhys. "He just spoke mind to mind..." Not being able to think clearly yet she just stared at him before composing herself and continuing. "And yes Rhys you do belong here...you do."

Rhys then turned his big blue eyes toward Merci`, his small red wings fluttering gently he then tried to speak with her. Yes...I arrived, you were asleep. But my friend was there. Reaching up Rhys pets Athena smiling slightly his eyes on the tiny nef.

Cin continued to watch the boy as she -heard- what he said to Merci`, "things just seem to get stranger and stranger around here." Smiling she moves around the counter to look at Rhys, kneeling so she can look into his face. "We are glad you are here, thank you for joining us Rhys." She didn't know why but Cin felt his distress as if he was uncertain of his location, uncertain if he would be wanted.

Rhys just watches Cin and nods his blue eyes wide, he didn't know why but for a few moments he felt like he knew more about her. Even at his young age he wondered if he knew so much about her when would he know about himself.

Well everyone else was having some sort of revalation Athena had locked her gaze on Kasai. Seeing what he was wearing or more what he wasn't wearing she crawled to the edge of the table to look up at him giggling softly and batting her eyelashes at him.

Kasai looked down seeing Athena and rolled his dark red eyes. Right well everyone seems to be distracted breakfast isn't getting made. I'll do it...Cin would probably burn it anyways. He muttered this grumpily in his mind voice as he went to the stove to start working on the food.

"Remember to put more clothing on before you start the bacon..." Cin called over to Kasai before looking back to the newest member of their family.

Kasai mutter something mostly incoherent only one word really being hearable to those with the ability they hear, *grumbling* wench *grumbling*. Kasai after getting his morning dose of profanities started on breakfast with haste.

Rhys watched Merci` a moment a little unsure has to how to take her caring ruffling of his hair, he gave her a small unsure smile and then shuffled away from her. Rhys wasn't entirely certain how he felt about this whole touching thing...then again he wasn't really sure how he felt about anything. He looked up at the boy standing in just his boxers by the stove curiously hearing the strange word over his mind he tilted his head to the side, "wench?".

Cin's eyes got wide and she looked down at Rhys, then she frowned realizing where he heard that. 'Sai, she growled over their mind link, watch the language. She sighs slightly and then shakes her head looking to Merci`, "That little pearl there he picked up from the naked guy by the stove. As for a place of our own...with thoughts of Fauve in the ships only full bathroom, I would say yes we should definantly look around. Though I don't think I'll let you move your clothing in...your adroable in my oversized t-shirts." Cin grins slightly and winks at the kitsune, she then leans down and looks at Rhys again, "What is it that you would like for breakfast?"

Rhys looks up at the tall readhead again and tilts his head to the side, "I'm not really sure...anything sounds good." He looks down and shuffles his feet shyly, this new place with these strange people was very distracting.

Cin ruffles his hair gently and then looks over at the stove, "Go put a shirt on if you insist on cooking and I think today is an omlete day." With that Cin returned to the stove to start cutting ingrediants up and watch what Kasai already had cooking well he went to go fetch himself a shirt.
