Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yashi continued to stroke the girls hair until Zah leaned in to nuzle her. THen, the fox leaned in to nuzzle the Drow in return - a little chain of comfort. "She needs someone who understand," He agreed, head raising in time to see Kay gimp her way towards them.

The hosility had fled from his stance since this little escapade had started. Kay was still hurt and she was still moving - thus, alive. That was good. He, however, was not about to embrace her with open arms and start giggling as he had when he was younger.

So he watched her for a long moment, head tilted against Zah and his free hand falling to rest on his friends back. Contact was comfort. Zah needed him close right now and he wasnt going to go aide Kay unless SHE was on her death bed.

"Where're you hurt?" He called out to the limping girl, voice monotone.

The fingers running through her hair clinched it for Vana, quieting her chirps at long last. The vine girl was beginning to be calmed, thankfully; the tension in her shoulders unwound, and she no longer seemed to be pressing up against Zah quite so desperately. Her hands, however, did not loose their grip for even a second, even if the sense of desperation was beginning to taper off, albeit only by a bit.

Very, very slightly, the little girl nuzzled Zah back, before tilting her head gently to watch the on-goings between Yashi and Kay, distantly wondering at their interactions and grateful for something to occupy her mind. She was silent now, though seeming yet on the edge of falling into another bout of mournful fear.

Art had grown bored. She knew everything seemed fine now. In fact long before the elders even considered it she knew things would be fine. The entire situation had grown more fun rather than desprete. Somehow she knew what that meant. She just wanted to play now that everything was sorta ok.

But the tears had yet to stop. There were children, well a child younger than she and an elder who had lost family. She knew how that felt. She wobbled over as best as her two year old stumps of legs could manage to the group and she huged the large teen who seemed spider like and the small babe who seemed to be covered in vines.

The innocence of her action may appear outwardly that she wanted to join in what everyone was doing, and this would be exactly what it would seem to those who didn't know that Artemis had lost her first guardian, her first mommy. After the two inital hugs she cuddled into the group, knowing that having someone there who cared helped alot.

Shira watched the little dark haired child attempt to share in the group hug that the children were in, and watched her get pushed straight out. Shira saw the look the fox child was giving the baby. Sensing a dispute she crossed to the other side of the room quickly and grabbed the dark-haired girl.

"Hey hey," She hoped that the little girl didn't object to being picked up.], "settle down. I'm sure she ment no harm, she's just a baby." She settled Artemis on her hip.

Oak watched as the one with pretty yummy white hair with dark skin moved over, but he wasn't the only one. Another with long ears and a very colorful outfit followed... although another eventually came into view. So many colors. Then... out of the blue the dark skinned boy lifted up the fern girl. Feeling a bit jealous, upset, and lonely that she was gone. Oak grunted. Wanted his own guardian to come to his aid and keep him company... but he wasn't any where in sight.

"Ahh.."
A tear began to roll down his bark covered cheek and his elf man wasn't anywhere in sight. Throwing his two stubby bark covered arms into the air. Oak grasped at the air. Signaling that he wanted out of the pin or he wanted the fern girl back to keep him company.

Kyocho was still rummaging through the training room. A quiver was found, but an bow had been missing still. One last place to look. That closet Kay had mentioned before. What should an elf do? Shrugging his shoulders strapped down with a quiver full of arrows. Kyocho approached the closet and continued his search.

"I said shut the ******** up, lady. Vine-girl is quiet and cuddly and THAT one," His chin jerks, aiming at the girl, "Is bold and domineering and I swear to the gods, if you don't stop trying to reason with me, I will jump at you and be a very NOT happy fox."

He was still nearly growling at the girl, tail whipping behind him with a snarl. The fox was litterally two seconds away from attacking the girl, although violence was probably thelast thing that Zah needed to see.

Well someone needs a good punch in the face. Was the first thing that came to Shira's mind as she regarded Yashi with a look of annoyance. She rarely ever said anything like this outloud- if she ever thought anything negitive she kept it to herself. A lesson she had taught herself when she was only a little older than Yashima was to be cautious.

It figures that she'd end up in an agruement with an unreasonable kid. Nothing ever comes easy.

"It seems someone already ISN'T a happy fox, throwing words and threats around like that. " She tried to keep a mocking tone out of her voice, and sighed while trying to keep away the headache that had yet to cease. Kishi advised Yashi to calm down, and Shira refrained from saying anymore as the woman spoke to the baby she held. She wasn't about to fight with a mere child.

"Artemis, hm?" Shira murmured to herself. She looked at the younger girl. "Do you know who their parent is?"
