Welcome to Gaia! ::

She sat up, still half asleep, and slid out of bed into her slippers and thin silk night robe. she shuffled down the stairs, accompanied by her shadow, and walked into the kitchen. Her shadow leapt forward and pawed at Auren's leg, begging for a piece of what he was making.

"Bad mutt..." she muttered while grabbing a glass of iced tea and sitting at the table, "should i be preparing for this lovely feast... or....." she left it open ended hoping he would have another option for her, because she had a pounding headache and didn't want to move again.

Oriana smiled politely as she looked over the table, 'small portions...' she told herself, 'cool your inner core as much as possible and drink cold beverages as much as possible. most of all take small portions'

She grabbed two more glasses from the cupboard and set them along side her iced tea. Filling the glasses with the Orange juice. she frosted all three glasses and looked around the table for where to start. she cut out a chunk of the steak, took a boiled egg, slid a few potatoes on the corner of her plate, and though she was living dangerously, she slid a full pancake on her plate.

it was a good ten minutes for her to get the egg down. it wasn't too hot, but she was starting out small and working her way up. her tea was already half gone and she frowned, 'Stop drinking so much. it's bad enough you have three glasses... he's probably thinking it tastes bad and your trying to wash it all down.'

With that last though she frowned and took on the pancake without touching any liquids; which turned out being a bad idea. she was sweating half way through, and by the time she got it all down, she slammed her iced tea. after a few bites of steak she had become so frustrated with herself that she stood up and smiled, "I'll be right back... need to use the restroom."

She slipped out the door and down the hall to the restroom, where she poured a pitcher of water on a rag and dabbed her face with it, "Come on! he tried so hard to please you... just suck it up and eat it already!" she growled while looking at her reflection in the mirror.

After cooling herself again. she re-entered the kitchen and took a seat to finish her meal, "Everything tastes great, Thank you for breakfast Auren." she smiled as she stabbed a few potatoes and slid them into her mouth.

Oriana closed her eyes and sighed, "Auren, Please don't beat yourself up over it... the meal tastes great, and even though i'm an Ice demon it doesn't mean i don't like warm meals... It's just that I lack the energy to eat it the way i would like to. So I'm improvising."

she finished the rest of her meal without complaint and had her three beverages finished by the end of the meal. Oriana cleaned up her dishes and slid them into the sink, then stepped behind Auren and wrapped her arms across his chest and kissed the back of his neck, "Thank you so much for Breakfast... Maybe i should clean the dishes now and you should eat something... before it gets cold."

Oriana slipped off her silk night robe and set it on the back of a chair. she then slipped her hands into the water and felt for the rag to finish up the dishes. she hummed an old tune her mother sang to her as a child, it was also the tune Vienna had learned from her father about some silly little folklore.

She set the plates out to dry and slid the already dry ones in their appropriate place, then slipped a few more empty dishes as they came up, off the table and slid them into the water.

Noticing the mutt being a good boy and staying by his dish, she stole a chunk of steak, before Auren snatched it, and threw it in his food dish. Of course it was gone within seconds. she doubted the dog even took time to chew, but seemed grateful, because he continued to lay where he was and wag his tail. She smiled, and finished up the dishes. Drying her hands on a rag, Oriana slipped back into her night robe, and poured Auren a cup of coffee, Adding some milk and a few cubes of sugar before setting it on the table for him.

After all that she sat down with a glass of iced tea and waited for the dishes to dry so she could put them away, then clean more. She smiled thinking about what the new day was going to bring... Hopefully they'll be able to do something fun, to take their minds off of the unfortunate events of the previous night.

A maid came by and knelt down to mop up the Drool spot, then bowed to Ralkis after she finished, and walked off; without a word. moments later Guen came up the stairs with a tray of breakfast, "Oh, You're awake... Are you hungry? I made some breakfast if you'd like some..." she smiled as she walked into the room he was staying in and set the tray down on a small table.

Ralkis sat down. With a human form, sitting on chairs was something he was able to easily conquer. His people lacked additional pylons which caused many problems. He stared at the food. He then stared at the fork. And stabbed the food with the fork. Then ate it. Then began to choke. Ralkis does not know how to eat food.

Auren sipped his coffee and nodded before putting it down and getting up. Following Damir outside and out back, he waited for what Damir had to say.

"So. what's up?"

Auren nodded "Thanks Damir. And don't worry about her walking down the alter with some random idiot. Well, okay, I probably fall under the category of random idiot but at least you know who I am and where I stand with things."

Auren sighed and leaned against the wall, flipping through the folder about Enthelda. "Too bad this ain't in Rodasia. Could show her where I used to live..." Auren said.

Auren then examined the potion and nodded. "Well, I'd better get packing then..." he said with a smile. "Oh, and if you need anything, and I mean anything, don't be afraid to ask me or send a mesage to one of those addresses when you originally started paying me. They'll send people to help you out."

With that he shook Damir's hand and slid back inside.
