Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ambrose spun the cheetah girl around the dancefloor gracefully, glad that there was some music in the background - even if not necessarily the most appropriate accompanyment. Some disney tunes could be danced to, others were.... not so easy.

But he moved with a practiced grace that came from a lot of physical training on the fencing piste. With Colche's long legs and cheetah blood, she made for a good partner, even if quite inexperienced.

"You dance very well, Colche!" HE smiled at her. He kept his attention on her, as it should be for the dance, though he noted out of the corner of his eyes that more people were arriving, which was good. Most of them were people he had only seen in passing, like at the recent drinking parties, or weren't familiar to him much at all. The fox-woman seemed familiar, but if so it must have been a very long time ago... and like all the islanders who had been here a while, had changed. He didn't remember any foxes other than Vasile.

"Im Kim." She answered, idely pushing her glasses bac in front of her eyes. She hated how they tended to slip down at the littelest movement on her eyes. If she had even noticed the redhead's finger movement, she let nothing show of it, instead leaning back on the wall next to Nita, sipping her soft drink slowly and watching the two dances.

She wished she had a prince sometimes, as well... but ah, not the time to think about any of that.

Madison grabbed some pizza on the way over to the pretty readhead who greeted her. Nita was such an interesting name and Madison wondered if perhaps it was short for something.

"It's nice to meet you, Nita. My name is Madison" she said between bites of pizza. She then blinked at the dancing duo again.

Colche looked so cute and Madison felt bad that she did not have a gift for her. 'Maybe I can give her something later if I can find anything' she whispered.

"You are mighty welcome, Colche." Ambrose's smile widened at the compliment and the change of songs. He remembered watching Sleeping Beauty with the girl, and it seemed very appropriate. It had been Aurora's birthday in the movie that day as well when she danced with her prince.

Ambrose didn't remember the words precisely, but he hummed it a bit as they twirled about the rec room. All in all, it might have looked somewhat silly... or strange. A cat dancing with a dog - both dressed nicely, with little paper party hats, in a room of flashing arcade machines. But they didn't care. It was a day to not think of things, but to enjoy being there, feeling healthy, and celebrate Colche's happiness - the one girl on the Island Ambrose was truly happy for her being there. To her, and perhaps only her, this was an island paradise, or a disney movie come to life.

Ambrose had had time to get used to his new feet, and surprsingly, he thought idly to himself as he stepped around with her, if anything he was more graceful with them. After all, people run or dance on their toes - and now his legs were built to always be on his toes. Perhaps he wouldn't have to give up fencing - even for practice - after all.

"So what did you wish for for your birthday?" He smiled at her as the song's words faded.

"Kim, Madison," Nita repeated, filing away the names and faces. That usually worked for her, although she still couldn't remember the dancing wolf-man's name.

"She's cute, isn't she," Nita said, following Madison's gaze. "And I wouldn't worry too much about a gift... I just made her something real quick." She pointed towards the table of gifts, where the lumpy and obviously hand-made kitty-thing was lying. "Old t-shirt," she grinned, briefly explaining.

Nita was too busy watching Colche and the other goings-on to pay any attention to Alec, so his desire to avoid her was, for now, fulfilled.

"Yeah, positively adorable." She said, turning a band of hairs around one of her long fingers. She almost gave them no thought, now...

"I still can't think of anything to give her..." The asian sighed. "I don't have many things that she'll like... or that could fit her." For Kim was tiny. Pretty tiny, at that.

The small click of her necklace in her neck caused by the movement of the hand suddently got to her attention, and then she looked down at it for a moment. She had a tonload of necklaces. Sure, this was the only one that could contain photos, but...

...!!!

That was it !

She took the chain out of her neck, and gentely tugged the photos out of it - a man and a woman, both of an asian nature as well. Probably her parents. That was just it !!! Colche would love it !
