Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cecilia noticed Rose just plop down onto the bed face first and heard her mumble something into the pillows around her. Cecilia moved closer to Rose and very gently poked Roses cheek with the tip of her index finger. It was obvious to her that something was wrong with Rose right now. "What is wrong Rose dear?" She asked while lying on her side looking at Rose. "You can tell me you know, no need to hold anything back." She said with a smile, moving in a little closer to give Rose a soft hug.

Sajuuk and Uriel were both more than little confused by these events, they had the exact same confused expression on their faces. it never really crossed their minds what the problem could be but they shrugged it off for now. "Hello Selena." Said Sajuuk. never quite sure how to properly address her since they rarely if ever spoke before now. "Having a good day are we?" he asked Selena, trying to just make some polite conversation while she was in the room so he did not come across as completely rude. Uriel looked to Selena, her head titled to the side, unable to really tell the difference between the girl that left being Rose and the new woman who entered being Selena. In her mind Rose had changed cloths very quickly and also got a bit taller.

Kashan was lying on the bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling for now. he barley registered the knock at the door, he was not used to hearing many knocks on his door since people generally just walked in. "Yes?" he said as he heard a voice calling his name. he blinked for a moment, realising who had actually called for him and sat up. "Sorry, I was in my own little world there."

"Awww, I am sorry to hear that Rose. I know it is difficult but these things happen." Said Cecilia, tying to comfort Rose during this time. "Love is a tricky thing, maybe he will see it in time. men can be so blind after all. Unable to see things that are directly in front of them." Said Cecilia.

"Well, that is good to hear in a way. If you need the company you are more than welcome to join us here." Said Sajuuk, polite offers from him were still a rarity but he had been absent long enough from the manor and still had to actually properly meet everyone. "Well, we both look confused because we thought Rose had somehow changed her cloths quickly and walked back in the room only a few seconds after she had left. You two are almost identical in a way, expect your eyes, those are what makes you two truly different." Said Sajuuk, he had never gotten a chance to take a good look before now. They defiantly had a certain something to them. He could now understand why his father went for her in a way. "Well, I am not dressed because I only have the one... well now two sets of clothing and well Rose never made it clear to me that she was throwing a party... or perhaps I was thinking too hard on something when she told me. And My friend here is not ready because she is not actually that long here." Said Sajuuk. Uriel was still confused by all of this, saying nothing and just staring at Selena, trying to figure out why Sajuuk was talking to her differently than the other woman.

Cecilia listened carefully to everything she was told. It was a sad tale and one that did make her slightly uncomfortable, talking of such things but she would help Rose as best she could. "I see, well now this is strange indeed." She paused for a moment. "Well no one is perfect Rose, not even us celestial beings are perfect. We all have our flaws, some people just choose not to see them within us. The thing with your brother is a whole other concept and thing. This will be as difficult for him as it will be for you. You are in touch with your feelings while he will be confused about everything that goes on in his head. Especially since he comes form a very strict and traditional back ground. Just give him some time, these things do not happen just over night." Said Cecilia, trying to be a comfort.

Sajuuk nodded, "Yes, I am my fathers son." He said but Selena was probably the only one to ever say that. "You look like her from the front to with your hair like that, the way you walk to but the way you carry yourself and the eyes do show you are a different person." he paused, "Yes, you defiantly were born human, I can see that in you now. It is still so strange a thing for me to see in another vampire. Though there is something else in there that I cannot quite put my finger on.... something you and your daughter share in common." Said Sajuuk. He actually knew what it was but was never too sure until this moment. he actually wondered if Selena knew of her true heritage other than just the human aspect of herself. It was in her walk, her speech, her motions and in the eyes. She carried herself more like them than she probably knew if she even knew of them. "It is a wonderful outfit, it suits you well." He said. In his mind he laughed at an internal joke that just made everything funnier. She was more Lahmian than she ever knew. Could even have been mistaken for the silver one herself. "Well, if there is something set aside for me I shall wear it and I will make sure Rose knows I will be there." Said Sajuuk. Uriel took a moment, hearing Selena's voice and gave her a small wave, "Hello." was all she said. a nervous look across her face mixed with the confusion. Sajuuk decided it best to keep talking, not knowing how all of this would effect Uriel, "Good luck with getting his attention. he has been locked away with his Luna since... well been a while. I am sure you could teach me friend here a thing or two though but she is a nervous and shy sort you know."

Raven stop to look at Naomi and said "why dont you have a look around the place i am going to the manor to speak to a few people before i bring you there ill be useing magic to get there so befroe you ask i can use it to bring both of us but ill be out for days to do something like that" nodded to her he left the room and headed towards his once inside he began chanting a sphere of lightning formed around him and he dissappeared outside taline manor woods a sphere of lightning appeared as the lightning faded raven tilted his head to the side and panted "whoo' he said walking up to the manor doors that still takes alot out of me" entering he looked around huh he thought it seems quite

Raven walked though the maze from coming out of the woods sighing he thought to him self i think i am lost shaking his head he only wished he had thought to come though here before he had left stopping when he head a vioce he walked foward til he cam upon Aeris looking up at the sky he snarled "you all just hate my guts up there dont you?" looking back donw on her he smiled softly and said "hello Aeris whats up?"

"You must remember something Rose. While you have experienced the traditions of the clans, Sajuuk has lived them every moment of his life. You spent very little time out there compared to him. He lived it so it is rooted far deeper in him. You had the advantage of spending some time here in this place. Go easy on him." Said Cecilia, there was little more that she could say on this right now and was glad when the subject of the party popped up. "Yes, the party. we had better get ready for that." She said.

Sajuuk collected himself for a moment and cleared his throat. He figured that Selena might be picking up on his little in joke and decided to stop before things went too far. Though only the idea itself was a joke, all of what he said did ring very true. "You do have a very special heritage Selena. One far greater than you might actually think." Said Sajuuk. he paused a moment to consider Selena question on the where about of Rose. "She went off to her room for a moment to take care of..... a special guest." Said Sajuuk. A pause was followed by a heft laugh, "Yes, I am sure you have your ways as long as he is not... in the process of anything. A rare skill indeed." Said Sajuuk. Uriel was still nervous about this whole thing, she looked at Sajuuk who simply nodded to her. Uriel then extended her hand to Selena, she would allow herself to be lead for now and try not to speak too much.

"You look divine my dear." Said Cecilia to Rose. She did look good and would defiantly turn some head but might end up getting attention from the wrong sort to. "Yes I could use a hand getting into this thing.... don't know how people would get into this themselves. I am pretty sure arms are not meant to bend some ways with this thing." Said Cecilia. it did take some time but they managed to get her into the dress with considerable effort. She left the room with Rose, noticing the two coming up the stairs but not fully recognising the girl following Selena at first.

Sajuuk let the two leave, the talk with Selena would be very interesting for sure when they had the time to chat. There was a lot to tell, especially since she seemed to be out of the loop. Uriel just followed Selena but managed to catch eyes with Cecilia on the way up and was instantly recognised. Uriel knew who she was but right now her mind was so broken that she could do very little. Later, she would find her later. Uriel now knew she was in the manor for sure and without Azreal around things would go a lot better for everyone. Uriel took the cloths from Selena, looked at them with a slightly puzzled expression before attempting to put them on, her back turned to Selena, the many and deep scars noticeable on her back as she changed, quickly. Once done she turned back around.

Cecilia nodded her head, "Yes I really do think so. We will knock em dead." She said but was hesitant to answer the question of what was wrong with her. "Something yes.... don't want to talk about it right now though." She said, feeling a little more uneasy with things. had she known Uriel was here then she never would have left the room since Azreal was never too far behind Uriel. She just walked into the Kitchen with Rose. Sajuuk was leaning against the back door looking outside for a moment. He had something on his mind now and was talking it over with Skadi in his mind. he had raided his fathers desk in the time it had taken people to get changed so now he was smoking away by the door, looking out. If certain of the oldest members had been here to witness things, it would be a heavy case of deja-vu, history repeating itself in a way. That deep concerned look before a party, the always distance eyes, the guarded body language, the way the hair fell across his face. he was his fathers son now more than ever, accidentally taking places that he never knew existed. Everything changes with time, Shadow was no longer who he was and now others took his place, his role. he had not noticed anyone else enter the room at first, his mind lost in a million different places and a heavy sigh leaving his lips while he exhaled the smoke. he tosses the end of the cigarette away and turned back into the manor. His first instinct was to grab a drink, still not noticing anyone around him but once he had he looked up to finally notice Rose and Cecilia there. he gave them both a quick look up and down, Rose was obviously trying to get someone attention, why else would she be revealing so much at this time. it was interesting but defiantly not his style, each to their own though, she did look good in it after all.

Uriel was still confused by all of this but she could not help but smile just a little bit right now with the flower in her hair. She was cheering up a little but still had some concern about Cecilia being here and how she was going to react to everything. "Thank you." Was alls he said, keeping the insanity inside with few words, not feeling the need to talk at the moment like she had done with Sajuuk.
