Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nervous as all Hell, the girl was. He kind of felt bad for her. He was never a shy person. Which was strange, having lived in seclusion for the majority of his life. What had happened to the girl to make her so antsy? He smiled down at her, trying to keep his fangs in his mouth. He knew all too well that she probably didn't want some fanged stranger to show off canines that could tear her to pieces. He let her hand slid away easily. She was so small. But it was always the small ones you needed to look out for. They get pushed around alot and work so hard to make sure they can take care of themselves. Only an idiot would take this small girl to be a pushover. It may be the case, Xaith wouldn't know unless he ever saw the girl in action, but never be so quick to judge somebody's abilities. A spark of intrigue had flickered when she healed herself. He hadn't seen something like that before.

"Don't mention it."

He moved his left hand into his pocket, his right still holding the skull. He moved over to the bar and sat at a stool next to where the girl had been sitting. He reached up and placed the skull on the counter with a thud! He looked over his shoulder to the smaller girl.

"So...What brings you out in the middle of nowhere, if you don't mind my asking."

He smiled again and let his voice be one that was comforting. God knew she needed to feel at ease.

He'd almost not noticed that the other man had adressed him as well. He turned his attention to him and gave a smile, but shook his head.

"I'm not sure about this young lady, but I'm not new. I live on the third floor. I've been here for a few weeks...Well, a month, but that's only if you include my first few visits."

He put both hands on the countertop and drummed his clawed fingers against it rhythmically. No beat in particular, just random drumming.

A nearly inaudible pop was Red's only signal that the chair opposite her had even gone from unoccupied to occupied. Once Tacitus and his koala popped into the chair they didn't seem to move or make too many sounds. The little beastie didn't seem to be biting him, but the faint orange glow in its eyes indicated that perhaps it wasn't in control of itself by some means. It sat on his shoulder, clinging to his coat as Tac did his best to reattach his finger, which meant he was prodding the stump with the actual finger, not even cleaning up the blood or shredded bits of flesh.

Could things get any more irritating for her? There was a klutz, an overly optimistic Jedi, and now a jack a** whose sense of humor was anything but funny to her. She could smell him as easily as though he were the only being, nay the only composition of matter, within all of space. It wasn't that she hated him, but she was still sore with him and wanted nothing to do with him.

As such, without even lifting her eyes to meet his, were they visible, she tucked the long ruby tresses of hair on her left behind her ear and in a very unorganized manner stuffed all of her tools into her bag, rolled up her paper, and rose from her seat to seek sanctuary elsewhere.

Before she could turn around though, her entire body went rigid with rage. Keno-san She spun around and glared at the bar, eyes set deeply on the young girl who owned the voice. Part of her wanted to slap the girl in the face, but her piercing gaze was more than enough.

Keno-san She winced again, fists shaking as her blood pressure rose furiously. What the hell was with that name? Did everyone have to mention him? Dammit!

Keno-san She stormed off, her knees practically unable to bend as her feet slammed into the floor. Yes slammed like a bowling ball falling off of a tilted shelf. Only when she reached the ring would her footsteps fade, or better yet stop altogether as she debated where to sit. There were no desks in here, so she would have to make due. The floor was good enough, or at least better than nothing. Damn b***h.

(This musical is making me laugh a lot. xD )

Xaith's midnight blue fox ears suddenly perked up and he arched an eyebrow before swatting at nothing. Well...What other people would see as nothing. He felt something get close to him. Couldn't see it, but he certainly felt something loom in over him. And then the feeling was gone. He glanced around, his eyes becoming sharp and narrowed. This wasn't his imagination playing tricks on him, there was no way. He looked around. He hadn't had this feeling when purple head was around. If memory served well, the red-headed fox hadn't given off that vibe. That left the girl and the apparent bar-keep. He would keep an eye on both of them. But he wouldn't make it obvious. But he probably looked like a loonatic, swatting at the air for no apparent reason. He figured he wouldn't even give an explaination and continue on with the conversation. He turned his head

"I can't say I know this Keno fella, but the name's Xaith. It's nice to meet you, Christiania. I came here after I, uhh..."

Great, now he was back to wondering what happened.

"Well, I came here of my own accord, we can leave it at that."

He smiled politely. He wouldn't disclose that he had obliterated his own planet and woke up on this one. That would more than likely scare the poor girl. He noticed something at the top of her head. He mentally shrugged it off.

"But I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here."

He looked at the man who called himself a Jedi and smiled. Yes, of course. Everybody with the skull. He was sure the girl would have asked if she wasn't so bashful. He moved his gloved hand to the top of the skull and patted in between it's horns.

"No, not many tricks I'm afraid. This, as strange as it may sound to you, is my father."

He smiled, though his dark blue fox tail swished around almost angirly.The man hadn't intended to insult his late father, he understood this, but it still kind of bugged him. But everybody makes mistakes and he would not hold any kind of grudge against the man.

Tac gave a sigh as Red stormed off, glancing down to his finger before looking off in the direction she had gone, "Well damn, I was hoping she had some superglue." He contemplated going to ask her, but decided against it when his gaze swept over Hotaru standing near the entrance. The old man gave a genuine smile as he noticed the young girl, mainly because she'd be able to hold the koala while Tac figured out what to do about his finger.

Hotaru spotted Tac then waved to him. She ran over then looked up him then at the koala in his shoulder. "Hi!"
