Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aziraphale wrinkled his nose just slightly and nuzzled gently at Crowley, before watching the other flop out in such a content manner, one ear flicking idly. "Out of habit... some of it is just... just impossible to make sense of. I'm sure with a bit of studying and comparison, it can be understood, but without the necessary textbooks and whatnot... well, it's simply gibberish in some places."

Immediately, Aziraphale lifted his head and looked baffled, before grumbling and reaching out to bat those sunglasses away. "Don't tease me," he said huffily, after he had succeeded in knocking the glasses to the floor, snorting softly and sitting up straight. "I am. Agnes Nutter is just a bit harder to comprehend."

Immediately, Aziraphale's eyes went wide when Crowley's words reached his mind, registered, and snapped a blush to his cheeks immediately and oozed a shiver down his spine. "Ah..." was the best he could manage before he moved to carefully lay down as well, blinking owlishly and looking rather flustered still, wondering why those words dragged up a strange array of emotions that sexless angels weren't supposed to care for...

The angel let Crowley rest his head on his paws, blinking slowly down at him, before a warm smile curled on his lips and he nodded once, purring to the other. "It's very nice... perfectly calm," he breathed, moving to rest his head on the other's neck, blinking lazily in the warming sunlight.

"Well, maybe not perfectly calm. I'll still have to stir up trouble every now and then so that you can get all righteous and angry at me, and I can soothe your ruffled feathers. No need to be happy and pleasent all the time. It'd just be far too borring." He laughed softly, nuzzling his head against the angel's chest.

They chatted amicably as they walked the morning towards the house in Bass'ken Woods where AearHwesta lived with his family. Dazzler made an effort to keep the conversation on light things -or more specifically, away from topics leading to personal "encounters" of a certain type. Spotting the comfortable one and a half story cabin Alison Blaire blinked in disbelief. "How many did you say lived here?" AearHwesta laughed heartily. "Many, lovely lass. Many. I've yet te count them all. There's a fair bit o' smaller creatures, bu' believe me: it's bigger than ye'd think from th' look o' it." The Dazzler made a funny sound in her throat. "It'd have to be." The male chuckled, ushering her gently to the door with a wing. Dazzler blinked, seeing a small white and pink cat like creature with her head close to the flowers growing in front. Flowers which, with the snow on the ground indicating the temperature, should not be growing. Following her amazed gaze AearHwesta grinned with almost fatherly affection. "Ah. Ye've caught sight o' our little Amaryllis. Aye. She's a right knack wit' growin' things, if'n ye catch my meaning. Don't be alarmed there's a lot o' magic about this house."

His wing touched her backside & Dazzler hurried through the door Aear had opened for her. "Far out..." She breathed at the site of a multitude of creatures lounging about the room. A small pastel kitsu with many wings flew erratically at them [Uncle AearHwesta!! You missed the Song of Morning!] The little seraphim pouted up at the much larger angelic. Laughing Aear nuzzled the kit while Dazzler struggled to take in this oddly paternal side of one she could tell was a ladies' kitsu. "I caught a different Song o' Mornin', Talagand-lad." Aear's russet eyes indicated Dazzler with a smile & the seraphim kit tilted his head at her curiously. [Would you sing for me sometime?] Talagand asked innocently. "Sure thing, kid." Dazzler replied with a smile just before a voice startled her.

"Now this is a first. Usually you don't bring them home with you. AearHwesta." The black skinned GaiaCom leaned against the wall, black gloved hands folded against her chest. The bright mint green of her witch's hat & dress seemed decidedly out of place with her biting tone. "You know Trel doesn't approve of infidelitous liaisons taking place in her home." "Which, like, is a total drag." Piped up a voice from the floor, as a beach patterned audio rhetoric stretched languidly. Aear seemed to be a little flustered at the look the laid back female was giving him "eh, nay today Gwen-luv." The angelic said averting his gaze. The GaiaCom & a few others chuckled at Aear's discomfort and Dazzler was left wondering at the inside joke. "Actually, Myranda-lass, we're here to find Rem-lad. De ye know if he's home?"

"Like it's my function to know where everyone is?" The mint witch scoffed. Clearly she did not like AearHwesta or his type. "I believe Remus & Liliana are in the Library, AearHwesta."

Dazzler turned to the kind voice, seeing a young woman with a toddler on her hip followed by two four legged creatures: a lovely peacock colored fae kyunru with large doe-like eyes & a cream & sienna jivvin drada -just into her horn with budding wings- who nipped playfully at the human's trailing angelic sash. She smiled brightly as she set the child down to play with his jivvin bond. "Welcome to our home, Dazzler. You're welcome to stay anytime. I wish I could be more hospitable, but lunch you know."

"Thanks, Trelweny-lass." Alison stared in wonder at the human, whose long braid swung behind her. "I, uh.... sure." How did she know who I was? Smiling warmly Trelweny ushered the young ones ahead of her to the kitchen. "Nice meeting you!"

Brushing her shoulder, Aear nudged the bewildered female to a single door on the left hand wall. "Dazzler-lass?" He asked gently, noticing her state. Deducing the cause he grinned, whispering "Aye, Trel knows thin's sometimes. Latent Talent she calls it, but ne'er 'bout herself. Most o' us knows she's some 'pathy, an' after tha' last time she broadcasted there's li'le doubt o' her empathy." Grinning Aear spoke normally once more, his great voice booming. "C'mon Lass. On te th' Library fer us." Talent? 'pathy? Does he mean telepathic like Professor Xavier? Perhaps she's a mutant too...

But the Dazzler's thoughts trailed off as the door opened onto a huge classic library that could not possibly fit into what could be seen from the front of the house. The walls were floor to ceiling with books of every sort except for long, thin floor to raised ceiling windows evenly spaced throughout. The windows looked thin more from their height then their width, which was enough for an average human to sit in the window seat below each with their legs pulled up to rest a book on their knees while they took on a view of the ever-blooming gardens outside. A small cozy fire flickered in a grated fireplace in front of a loveseat & a pair of large wingback armchairs, all in soft but elegant leather. Each chair was just large enough for a single kitsu to curl into while the loveseat could easily fit two.

"Far out..." Ali breathed in awe. A soft yip from one of the wingbacks echoed her and a little voice whispered "Daddy... Uncle Aear brought a lady-friend."

Urged forward by the sailor's gentle nudges Dazzler saw the robed kitsu just as he sighed wearily from where he was curled around a small crimson kitsu teen. The small female watched them with wide green eyes. "Thank you, Liliana dear. I've already told Gwen we don't have the KamaSutra, AearHwesta" He turned to look at them and raised a brow at Dazzler's poignant "I'm not with him" look. "Ah. My apologies Miss..."

"Dazzler." She smiled a little at the sincerity in the other's apology. "I take it you're Remus? Aear here said you might be able to help."

Remus smiled wanly. "That depends, of course. With what do you require assistance? Blue eyes smiled at the well spoken male. Dazzler could see him getting along well with the tea drinking kitsu. "I'm trying to help someone find his nephew..." She started before Aear piped in. "Tha' burned lad who was with th' group o' us at the caves... ye know -where the demons' made the bobtails." Dazzler had been frowning slightly at being interrupted but her expression softened to hear the pained sound in the sailor's voice once more. Seeing Remus' equally disheartened reaction to the mention of it she wondered even more. What could have happened? Aear continued without pause. "The one who was a friend o' yer Ember? I thought ye could help th' lass see if he's th' one 'er friend is looking for."

"Please?" Dazzler added, blue eyes entreating. [Please?] Piped a small but firm voice from the Angelic's back. Remus arched a brow at Talagand's interest. Intrigued, Liliana spoke up softly. "I'd like to meet your friend Ember, Daddy. Doesn't he have kits too?"

Remus thought it over a bit more, but knew his mind was already made up. The prospect of seeing his Soul Brother again only made it that much more agreeable. "So you would like to find Ember to find this kitsu? I take it you need me to smooth things with Ember, do you AearHwesta?" The Nautical Angelic's sheepish duck of his massive head answered that & Remus chuckled. "Certainly, I will help. It has been far too long since Ember & I last met."

Dazzler's jubilant "Far out!!" echoed in the usually quiet library & they all laughed. "Well then, let us get going. We can only hope Ember is at HeadQuarters today."

"I'm from here. Though i haven;t been to the HQ in a while. I've been just wandering about." He smiled.

"Yeah. A bit. They have a kitchen in the HQ I think. Princess Sakura-chan are you Hurngy?" He asked her.

She nodded as her tummy growled.
