Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ura frowned darkly, but he released Kaito's wing as he was told, more because of the look he was getting from Shiro rather than from Lin's order.

"He should think about others sometimes," he muttered, folding his arms across his chest.

Kaito shrugged as if he didn't particularly care about how Ura treated him, and grinned as he joined all of them.

"Anyone want to go outside later?" he asked, his eyes glinting hopefully. "There's a beautiful moon, and after all this food I'm dying for some exercise!"

Kaito grinned cattily.

"Climbing," he purred, tail swishing around contentedly. "What else?"

Shiro looked at his twin through narrowed eyes. "Sometimes I have to wonder how much of you really is cat," he couldn't help but state frankly. "Napping during the day, more active at night, always wanting to climb, drinking nothing but milk ... next thing I know, you're going to be chasing birds."

"More challenging than mice," Kaito agreed with a straight face. A moment later he burst into laughter and punched Shiro's shoulder playfully. "The look on your face!" he roared.

Shiro was obviously not very amused by Kaito's joke.

The light in the Banquet Hall suddenly fell dim as the last of the tables was cleared away and the chairs were moved to the side, and Kaito's eyes flashed yellow in the dimness.

"Even if it's a mountain?" he asked Lin in a challenging tone, resting his chin on his hand and leaning closer to her.

As the lights dimmed the music began to play once more, and Elnara smiled at Lore and rose from her seat.

"That's our call," she murmured softly to him. "Shall we?"

Lin chewed the inside of her cheek softly, reminding herself it would be night. As amusing as it was, she was not crazy. After all she had been up those steps in the past, she was certainly not crazy.

"Nice try Kaito, but it's night and those stairs are steep, and you know this stupid thing I'm wearing doesn't give way to a lot of movement," Lin grinned.

"Why don't we play tag?" Lin finally asked in exasperation.

Honestly Shiro should know his brother by now, reading was not going to get Kaito to bed any quicker! Besides she was sure Kaito could catch up quickly, he was more than met the eye.

"We can do so in the garden, I can at least run and we won't accidently get ourselves killed."

"That would be interesting," Lin admitted, "And with it being night it would make it a challenge..."

Otherwise it was going to be darn odd for them to be playing that at their age. She looked up at Earendil, Pen and Lothiriel hoping they would jump in. After all, she did feel sorry for Kaito, it was just the way the guy was wired.

Earendil leaned forward interestedly. "It sounds like fun," he had to admit. "But if I come with you, you're going to have to explain the rules to me."

He had never played games, really, when he had been young ... lack of playmates and overabundance of lessons and training had been the order of his younger days.

"I think we're going to join the dancing," Lothiriel smiled, reaching for Pen's hand. "It's one of the few things we haven't really had a chance to do yet. You all have fun though, and we'll see you in the morning."

And she led Pen out towards the dance floor, where they joined with Lore and Elnara. They weren't the only ones either: the king and queen had also joined in, as well as Serenity and Beren, and Ruel and Luthien.
