Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dante made a sigh of great relief that Ridel wasn't quite as irrational as he had been worried she'd be. Lucky him. He looked up at the young girl that was his younger sister and was a bit surprised to see Ridel give up her grip on him and let him go greet his little younger sister. Then again, he hasn't really seen her since before he was traveling with Ridel which he started to do roughly nine hundred years ago.

Bahamut watched as Dante was reunited with not only Ridel, his long time travelling companion for many years from many years ago, but also his younger sister that had seemed to be long lost in time. Although of course they knew otherwise. Unlike the uncaring Vergil, Dante could still sense that she was alive the whole time for this long and knew she was doing alright more or less and didn't make an effort to look for her for a few reasons but that was his explanation not Bahamut's.

Trish smiled after the show had ended and even made a 'd'aww' in her head when they hugged. It was all fun and good but she wasn't a total b***h. And she secretly was cheering Ridel on in her mind in more ways than one. Dante was just a stubborn jackass sometimes though. She looked over to Effloresca then when she asked her a rather simple, if not incomplete, question. She didn't seem like the very talkative type but probably had her reasons for it. She had basically asked how long they knew each other from what Trish could tell. "Well, Dante and Ridel here have been acquainted for about a good nine hundred years. Only eight if you exclude the past century that they haven't seen each other." She told her casually, totally unaware yet to her hidden feelings for Dante that were budding.

Dante took that 'go for it' that Ridel had given him and walked over to his little sister. It looked like he still had one more young girl to apologize to. He went up and hugged her in his arms. "Sorry.....Sapphire....." He whispered to her, feeling a little upset that he never actually gave her a reason for not looking for her. He would have if she would have just come out and spoke to him. Especially considering he could sense whenever she was near him, spying on him from time to time, regardless of how far or well she tried to hide.

Sapphire hugged Dante strongly, and though she was nowhere near as strong as him she lifted him off the ground about an inch as she hugged him. Her Doll sonic flew down to the ground and then over to bahamut to climb up bahamut's back up his neck, and up onto his head. He giggled and snuggled against the scalp of the much larger dragon doll and said in his own squeaky voice, "Big bwoder..." His vocal grammar was atrocious but his ability to repeat any and all sounds he'd ever heard at any volume and at any time made up for it. He was extremely cute, if a little bit annoying. Little sonic giggled again as he around from his perch atop Bahamut's head.

Dante hugged his sister for a moment until she started holding him more firmly and banding back to lift him off the ground. He sighed and rolled his eyes at this point, his own hands letting her go. "OK, I get it. You can let me go now, alright?" He told her, sounding just a bit annoyed. Although really he was glad to be seeing her gain in person, rather than just sensing her reiatsu stalking him around every now and then.

Bahamut stood where he was in his usual state of standing up with his wings curled in and his clawed hands and arms crossed over his chest. It was a bit of a prideful stance in his draconic heritage. He glanced around at Sonic, the tiny dragon that Sapphire seemed to have created in her absence that reminded him of a smaller Levanthan. It was cute in it's own way really, though He didn't like that snicker that Lev was making at all. That was when the little serpent dragon wyrmling decided to curl up and perch itself upon Bahamut's head. And then Lev burst into laughter at the affectionate way it call him it's 'big bwoder'. Bahamut's eye sort of twitched in anger right now, all towards Lev mostly. He couldn't Blame sonic of course. However, the laughing was uncalled for. "And just what ever is so damn funny Lev!?" He demanded in a deep yet boomingly loud voice. It seemed that neither of them had good volume control for their vocal chords.

Trish just looked to Effloresca and gave a simple "No problem." with a smile. She then looked over to the sight of Bahamut and his new baby brother and started giggling and laughing with Lev at the sight of that tiny cute little thing coiled up on big proud Bahamut's head. It was hilarious really, though she calmed a bit when Ridel sat by them and Bahamut rebuked Lev. She heard Ridel's muttering clearly and smirked a bit, realizing just what she was talking about. Most wouldn't know, but she knew a lot about Ridel's emotion smelling ability. Weird, but handy really. That's when she realized that Effloresca was developing a crush on Dante. Trish would start giggling at that if Ridel wasn't next to her right now. Then again, she almost felt bad for Effloresca now. She had nothing on Ridel's time with Dante, even if she did only look twelve. And if she actually tried hitting on Dante, which was highly unlikely given her personality seen so far, Ridel would not approve at all she would think. Well, Trish wasn't sure how Ridel would act. She had never seen another person interested in Dante that way. At least as far as she knew.

Sapphire put Dante down but kept up the hug. She Loved her big brothers, though Dante had always been her hero. He was big and strong, and he was always the one who was nice to her. He may have been a jerk in the opinions of others but she didn't think so. when she finally let go of Dante she asked, "So Dante, Who's that person who was hugging you before I got here? Was she a friend of yours? And Who are the kids? They look so cute."

Little Sonic growled at Leventhan in his unintimidating little voice, but soon his growl erupted in a roar of such incredible voulme and power that it sounded as if it bleonged to a Dragon more powerful than Bahamut and Leventhan put together. Then Sonic said, "Big Bwoder the best!" And he nodded at his own statement. His roar hadn't been his own, it had been only of the many things he'd gained from following his Bount Partner into a movie theater that week.

Dante could overhear Ridel naming him as 'Jackass' as he was being squeezed by his sister and sighed. He would have made an objection to that tittle had anyone but Ridel used it. After all the years they'd spent together and with what he told her so long ago, she really had every right to say that about him. He still felt a pang of guilt over that too and he didn't like it.

Though he looked away from there and back to sapphire when she asked about who everyone was. He made a half grin and pointed to each of them in succession. "Now let's see. That's Judas and his brother Brutus. They're Effloresca's brothers. I see your dragon has already gotten acquainted with Bahamut and Levanthan. Over there's Trish and the other girl is....."

Bahamut just glared at Levanthan for a monent as he was going to play stupid and his eyes widened when Ridel came up and started beating the poor thing. Though he technically liked it, he quickly got worried about Ridel and her now obviously messed up state right now. There were a lot of people here and she never did take to large crowds well because of that nose of hers. He stepped away from her cautiously and then thought back to what Levanthan said.

'She hasn't slept a single time since he left'. Those words rang in his head as surly as they would if Dante had heard them. He felt bad now for Ridel and for her relationship with Dante as it was. Now that they were together again, things would not likely get better at all. Though when he watched the attack just now, he realized how right Lev was. He didn't notice the first time, thinking she was only holding back. But this time he saw the lag in her movements from what he remembered them to be. Not that she was slow at all. Just slower.

Trish looked over to Ridel and Effloresca for a moment and noticed that Effloresca seemed to be upset for some reason. Then again, she may have caught onto to what Ridel was muttering about emotions just now and she did seem like the tsundere type from what she saw. A trait Trish shared a little bit with her. Though she then looked over to Ridel who looked sick right now and paler than ever. It seemed that there was too many different emotions here and that was the downside of her power. She frowned, knowing how it was effecting her but she did not see the next reaction coming at all.

Dante paused when he pointed to Ridel, she had just shouted at Levanthan and rushed up to attack the poor thing. "Ridel..." He sighed when he had finished. He knew what had happened basically and could tell she was not happy right now. He stepped back from his sister then and looked over to the fuming Ridel.

Right now, Dante was the only person in the room that could survive her wrath right now, or even have a chance of calming her down. He sighed and did what seemed like the stupidest thing to do and walked over to her. Then, he came right up and hugged her again, but tighter than she had to him a few minutes ago. "You can calm down now. I'm here again, alright?" He spoke softly, in a comforting tone he almost never used.

Brutus and Judas weren't all too happy when they hit the ground.

Judas cried out and so did Brutus. However it was then that they notice the new dolls. Brutus jumped awake and poked Judas in the shoulder repeatedly trying to get him to stay awake, but Judas refused.

Brutus then gave up on his twin and ran over to Bahamut and Leventhan. He looked up at the mighty looking eastern and was in awe for a moment. Then he looked at Bahamut and said, "Bahamut, Who's this guy? Is he new or is he just an old friend?"


Judas tried to sleep, but then after a moment he looked around and was immediately drawn to bahamut. He ran over and asked, "What that up on your head?"

Little Sonic giggled down at the twins and caught the attention of them both.


Sappire saw Effloresco go deeper into the cavern and followed. "Hey...Are you alright? What ever it is we can talk about it, I might be able to help you with your problems if I know what they are..."

Dante made a firm grip on Ridel rather small frame when he took her in his arms again. He had a bit of a melancholic expression and sighed a half smile. He knew she'd be irritated at first but was glad to feel her relax against him. He then had to hold her up a bit when he felt her body going completely limp against his. She must be tired as hell right about now. She always did sleep better when he was around. Although he still wasn't aware of her century of going without sleep yet, a thought that will bother him to no end.

Bahamut watched the embrace with a sort of smile, or at least as best as he could manage such a feet with his jaw. He was like Trish in his secret support for Ridel in her's and Dante's potential relationship. Though Dante wasn't exactly so keen on even discussing the matter at all. It was a tragic story all in all and one Dante would rather not have told, ever. So instead, Bahamut looked down at the twin brothers as Lev reluctantly returned to the real world and they questioned him of Lev and Sonic seemed to take to entertaining them from atop his head. He looked up for a second and sighed. "Well, this is Levanthan and he's Ridel's partner. We've known each other for centuries beyond your times. And this one," He glances up to the top of his head. "This one is little Sonic and belongs to Dante's sister, Sapphire."

Trish smiled after her initial surprise to Dante's embrace and did a bit of an 'awwwww' in her head, marking it as a victory for Ridel in what her and the others considered a battle with Dante and Ridel of sorts. She leaned back against her spot sitting on a rock with her legs crossed over each other and let her own thoughts go to herself and such embraces. It made her a little giddy inside and she started gushing to herself over those two guys. She just couldn't bring herself to choose one over the other though and it bothered her to no end, despite their total ignorance to her thoughts.

Dante looked down at Ridel and smiled softly as she started to rest, sleeping soundly against his body. He'd not be able to move her for hours on end now without waking her and upsetting her again. He just sighs and moved to pick her up sideways, bridal style. It reminded him of the very first time he had carried her like this while she fell to sleep in his arms almost nine hundred years ago.

He stood up straight and looked around to see that Effloresca had run off and his sister had gone after her so he thought it was best to leave it at that. He then walks over to a low rock against a wall and took a seat for himself and reclined back, holding the sleeping Ridel in his arms and closed his eyes. "It's getting late anyways..." He mumbles in a low voice, not caring to be bothered right now. If they wanted to know anything else, his dolls could handle that for now.
