Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seth made his way into the courtyard, letting his feet drag lightly against the soft grass beneath him as he made his way toward the large tree to the middle of the courtyard. He had gotten a good night's rest, and his mind was more clear today. Though he still ached inside, he managed to hide this quite well as his face showed a calm expression.

He sat down under the large tree with a sigh, leaning his head back against the tree as he looked up into the sky. He had thought a lot about Susie, and he was sure he still loved her. He had been locked away in his dorm for most of the day, gathering his thoughts, and his mind was more clear now. He let out a short sigh as he remembered the look on Susie's face yesterday. It still hurt him to have seen her that way.

Alef sighed as she headed into yet another courtyard. She pulled her hair up, to save her from trying to make it look even semi decent. She saw another guy in here looking a little on the down side. Even if she was a little pissed off from earlier, she could at least try to lighten his day. Walking over slowly she smiled a little. "Hey... don't think I've met you before... there's so many new faces it's hard to keep track of... I'm Alef..." If anything she hoped she could take his mind off what was bothering him, and even get her to cool off.

"Oh...er...hi...I'm...er..Rivin...nice...to...er...meet you.." he grumbled rubbing his eyes again as he let out a large yawn, he covered his mouth quickley not wanting to make and utter fool of himself infront of someone else. Slowly he cracked a smile and looked at Alef, as he slowly teetering back and forth.

Seth looked up as he heard an unfamiliar voice speak to him. He looked up and saw a young girl standing above him, he raised himself up off the ground and managed a light smile as she introduced herself. "Alef.. that's a very beautiful name..." he said in a soft tone of voice. "Name's Seth.." he said in the same soft tone, gently taking her hand in his and kissing her hand lightly in all politeness as he looked up at her, trieing hard to hide the pain and sorrow in his eyes as he managed to keep his weak smile on.

Rivin took Seths action towards Alef a little old fashioned, still trying to wake up as he slowly began to doze off, still teetering he looked at Alef and slowly put his hand out, then slowly began to shake his hand with no actually shaking his hand, he looked as he smiled his dirted face iched.

"Hi....er...again.." he said slowly as he fell to his butt, letting out a long and loud snore.

Had he been feeling his regular laugh, he probably would've managed a chuckle at Rivin's reaction, but he simply watched them with the same serious and sorrowful look in his eyes. He turned his attention back to Alef as she spoke to him. He appreciated Alef's attempt at cheering him up, but it just wasn't that simple. "I'm afraid not.." he said as he lowered his head slightly, but then quickly lifted it back up again, still trieing to make it look as if he was just fine as a soft smile spread over his face "but thanks for the offer."

Alef sighed a little and nodded. "Alright, if you're sure... but you know... if you ever need a good laugh I'm probably around doing something... stupid and or just funny.." She smiled at him and looked to Zero as he came over to her. His question made her think to Kiyoshi and the slightest look of anger came across her face. She was still quite angry with him, but would not let it make her appear in a fowl mood. "Not too bad, I haven't seen you around lately... How have you been?'

Rivin out of nowhere let out a long wale as he looked up, he just relived what he had done. He had been making a fool out of himself since he got here, he began to breath hard, then looked at Seth and saw his sadness. His crazed face slowly changed to a sympathtic face.

"Whats...um...wrong?" he said slowly the tone of sleep gone, now his tone was of seriousness. His eyes lowered, he knew that the answer his was going to get was either going to be a bad one, or not one at all. He frowned then slowly lowered his head completly, his first dramatic event at this new school, and this one seemed serious.
