Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Sure, make yourself comfortable, I don't mind!" He said sarcastically but in turn kicked off his own shoes and expertly his socks. Feeling a sudden happiness fill his entire body, he rolled over on top of Lillia and propped himself on his hand and knees and looked down, his shadow falling onto her body. "Excuse me for my subtly," he said quickly, and just as suddenly he went in close and kissed her.

A thought suddenly popped into his head and his mind started to go back to the crumpled piece of paper. No... I can't... I... I won't!

And suddenly as if to prove her words, her actions couldn't have projected what she was feeling right now. DJ bit his lower lip, Yeah, you moved a bit fast. Nice one Ace... He gave a weak smile and got off her and sat down next to her cross legged. "Sorry for jumpin on you like that, dunno what got into me." He leaned back and narrowly missed hitting the head board, instead landed on his pillow with a soft thud.

"So what does... Jelena you said? What is she like?" He asked casually trying to avoid the deadly "awkward silence" that always killed his chances at talking to any girl he met. "What does she do exactly?"

"It's quite alright." She curled up pushing a hand under the pillow so she was comfortable. She smiled and said, "Jellie...she's well, she's a sweetheart and she runs a tight ship. Messy as all getout too."

A slight yawn and she said, "Excuse me. She loves her echoes more than life itself. Woudl do anything for them, even get down in a puddle of green goo. Erik is her assistant. He's a teddy bear of a man."

She thought about his other question, "Jellie's job is to take the genetic codes of Echoes or mythical creatures and recreate them in a way. She makes myths real I guess would be layman's terms." Her voice was getting husky and her eyes were closed. She was talking but seh was quickly falling asleep.

Lillia murmured something to him and snuggled in deeper under the covers. The alcohol had indeed gotten to her and she wasn't quite ready for this monumental decision anyway. It was a big step for her and she couldn't take it just yet.

Her dreams were filled with memories from her short time up in space. She saw Raedon again and Erik and Jelena and James and Roselyn and Rennell. All of them. And they were all smilng at her. She was so happy. She slept fitfully that night and didn't wake up for quite a while.

Jelena really just shrugged, occupied with her computer at the moment, turning off programs and also giving a quick information scan to the Echo enclosure access logs, making sure people were doing their jobs even without her around. "I know it seems rather...unwelcoming. But I just never found the time to personalize it. So it's stayed its Fleet white and collects my mess. That's about it."

The room didn't even have the blinds over the window that looked out in space. Said blinds were made to created pictures of places other than space. Fields, beaches, cities, those types of scenic views. On a table by her bed were a few pictures. One of her and Erik, fresh out of college, another showed Jelena with her hair long and tied back loosely, holding onto a Fenrir that was of a good size already for the newborn that it was. Then a picture of her and her family. Last but not least, one that Erik had obviously taken from her expression, showing her making her acclaimed OODDS.

Then a wave of her hand. "You can sit down if you want, I'm just going to take a few more minutes to go through this stuff and set up a few keywords in my auto delete program." She didn't seem to fazed that they were in her room, nor did she care that it was a mess, what with clothes, papers, and even disks strewn about.

At his clothing comment she looked over her shoulder to him with a raised eyebrow. Seemed he had taken a seat on her bed and was busying himself with knowing the contents of the mess of her room. Big deal. "Usually I don't. That's around the room clothing mostly." Back to her computer, the noises of entered information being givne off.

"Well I live in mess, you know that. Besides it's not as bad a mess as you think it is, it's just the way its all strewn about, I'll eventually clean up." More noises then she swivled in her chair, walking over and snatching the underwear he was holding, crossing her arms lightly. "Enjoying rifling through my mess James?"

Actually their more of random scribblings and doodles. When they're not that then they are just random observations or to do lists that I should do but never get to. I don't keep things on Echoes in my room James. It's too impersonal for them, even just their data."

Scientist she may be, but she wasn't that objective to her own beloved project. And she turned from him, grabbing up a few more pieces of random clothing, dropping it all in a basket in the bathroom before coming back out, setting her hands on her hips. "And I don't get love notes. Gotta be in love to send a love note." She shrugged and tilted her head at him. "I'm rather surprised that you're actually relaxed in my room. I was sure you would of wondered what the deal was by now."

"You're right. I'm not into the habit of luring men to my room then letting them get comfortable and then locking the door and trapping them in to have my way with them. Just not my style." She laughed of course and then shook her head. "No actually. If I want to be stereotypical bitter I could say it's because I'm in the later twenties and men are always looking for something younger in the eighteen to twenty-two range." And then a shrug. "Besides, I'm a hard person to get close to as I've been told many times before really."

Didn't bother her, was something she was used to and was partially true in its own right. To get to her one had to practically force her to see past her Echoes. Most men found they didn't want to compete with the creatures. Too much work. But she sighed and crossed her arms again. "I'm just trying to avoid Erik is all. I know he's stalking around my office and I just don't want to deal with him right now. Believe it or not, we do get sick of each other."
