Welcome to Gaia! ::

As he preened her feathers she sprawled out, and if she were able to purr, she would. Closing her eyes in pure bliss and contentment, she decided that she full forgived him for doing anything mean as long as he preened her afterwards. ^____________^

Sy stared at Nyxa a moment, wondering if she was serious. Sleep on furs and blankets? It had been a while since she had done that, and if you... blushing bright red at the mere thought of what would make her back more sore on the floor, she cleared her throat.

"Uh.. well... okay, Kiro. If you want to help you can, but I'm going to have to pay you back for your troubles some day." ^_^;; Hoping that they wouldn't prod her for the reasons behind her cheerfulness and blushing any further, she grabbed her son's hand and dragged him to the next crate outside.

Nyxa chuckled as she followed them outside, shaking her head with a stretch. "Makes me wish that I had stuff that I could send for, but it's all being used back at home. I am pretty comfortable at night, though, so I guess that's all that matters. What I really wish for sometimes is electricity. It'd make cooking and stuff so much more convenient."

Bah to high-maintanence females. Luc huffed silently and continued grooming the happy femme, still itching to play. As long as she wasn't nipping or biting or kicking at him, he figured he was well on his way to friendship with her. Maybe LATER she'd want to play. Oh, he was hopeful.

Ieyasu wandered along the path from his house, just really killing time. And allowing Osu to burn off some steam. The little Aerandir pranced about, moving up to Ieyasu to wrap himself about his ankles almost in a cat-like manner before darting off in front of his guardian again. Just normal behaviour for him, really.

Ieyasu watched the orange, black and white Aerandir with faint amusement, clad in his usual loose, unbuttoned shirt, long shorts and sandals and with his hair tied back in a long ponytail. His hands in his pockets, he glanced up from Osu, gazing around the nearby houses briefly. There was a hell of a lot of noise coming from somewhere.

Pinpointing the source after a few moments, he glanced over at one of the houses. He didn't know who lived there. Heading on down the path, he got a better look at the house and the cause of the noise. Quite a few people there - not that that was a surprise. Nyxa, Syrenrei, Kiro, and some guy he didn't recognise. The kitsune idly wondered to himself if Syrenrei was still pissed about that argument in the hot springs. Well, at least she could be happy with the fact that he wasn't naked now.

Nodding his head, he lifted his arm, waving over at the group. Osusuki, forever the nosey one, trotted up to Ieyasu's feet with a chirp, wondering what he was looking at.

Nyxa's attention was caught by the waving 'Yasu, a hand instantly moving to straighten her hair and clothes before waving to him in return. Blasted ..blast. Almost frantically she looked around for Luc, though she didn't have to look far. After Delta darted out of the house, he was soon tearing off after her in chase, though it looked playful despite the fact that she had his plushie clasped in her beak. Muttering under her breath, Nyxa huffed silently to herself. She was suddenly feeling overwhelmed by hormones or something, and in order to prevent herself from dry-humping 'Yasu, she called shrilly to Luc and mumbled a few quick goodbyes before hot-footin' it to the centre to mail her letter.

Luc was gleefully tripping after Delta. Well.. until he noticed Osu standing near 'Yasu. Coming to a quick halt, he changed his direction and charged at breakneck speed towards Osu, crowing happily before pouncing his best bud in a gleeful show of affection. The plushie-toting female was forgotten as he saw his favorite playmate arrive, though his expression fell as he noticed that he had to leave. With a sad, drawn out chirp he tromped off after Nyxa.

Osusuki gave a delighted shriek as he spotted Lucius barrelling out of the house. He knew that Luc would play with him! Bolting over to the black and gold gryphon, he then went rolling over as his friend pounced him. Reaching up with his long beak to n** playfully at one of Luc's little ears, he flicked his tail back and forth happily.

But then.. Lucius got up, reluctantly backing off. Rolling back to his feet again, Osusuki followed after Luc for a few paces, disappointedly chirruping in reply. Aw, but he just got here! Why did Lucius have to leave now..? Pausing, he turned to look at Ieyasu, and then around at the house. Wait.. there was another Aerandir there - one he had seen briefly yesterday. Perhaps he could get to know her better. Trotting over to the base of the box, Osu sat back on his haunches, looking up at the blue gryphon. He chirruped at her curiously, his ears perked.

Staring after Nyxa, Ieyasu wondered what was up with her. She looked a little.. flustered. "Nice seeing you Nyxa..." he said after her. Maybe he could catch up with her later or something.

Turning to the other three, he looked at Syrenrei curiously. She looked like a kid in a toy shop. He grinned at her. "Alright there, Sy?" he asked, wondering if she'd actually speak to him.

"Ah, so that's what all the banging about was. You three need a hand?" He shrugged his shoulders. It would be something to do, he guessed.

At Delta's curious nudge, Osu bounced back to his feet, his bushy tail flicking as he pranced around the other Aerandir. She was bigger than he was, but that didn't matter! All the Aerandir he had met so far had been bigger than him anyway. With an excited trumpet, he tumbled into Delta again, nudging her in the side with his beak. Would she play with him too?

"That would be wonderful," Onuris answered for his mother, wiping off his hand on his pants and extending it towards the white-haired man. "I'm Onuris." He had assumed, perhaps wrongly, that everyone knew who he was. After all, his mother DID tend to ramble on and on, and he was as often a topic as anything else.

What was it with this Aerandir bumbling into her and nudging? >_o Luc had acted somewhat the same way, trying to provoke her to fight, but she wasn't too inclined to be competitive with anything other than her beauty seeing as, despite her size, they had some muscle and claws on her. Besides, a tumble with another Aerandir got her dirty and her feathers mussed up. Eyeing him a bit, she nudged him back.

Quietly, Kiro brought his gaze away from the two Aerandir. He was going to have to stop doing that...! He flicked his gaze between the other three, also waiting to be given some kind of job to do.
