Welcome to Gaia! ::

KiiMeLwi was impressed. "Oh that is amazing! You certainly were lucky. Now my story sounds boring!" She laughed, and finished off her tea. Oh, she was a quick tea drinker alright! She placed her mug down on the counter and smiled at azumi. "You must feel honoured, getting custody of Osso like that! Mishaps must certainly have been impressed with how you cared for him." She turned to look at the Mishaps, and noticing that they had moved and were now sitting on the floor, drawing, her eyes widened. Were those papers important? "Oop?"

Kii strolled quickly over to the two Mishaps and glanced at the papers. They looked empty. She quietly snuck back to azumi. "No, nevermind. Nothing important." She said out loud, explaining what she had been worried over. "I just hope nothing gets on the rug. But, well, if it does, its nothing wonderful cleaning chemicals cant handle." She scrunched up her nose, and made a disgusted face, kidding of course.

Shavira uncapped her orange marker and drew a sloppy stick figure. "Secret!" She giggled. "Shavi's drawing is Secret!" She put down her orange marker, grabbed a black one, and drew another stick figure, next to the first one. She glanced up, to look at the mommies, and went back to work. "Osso's snake GOOD!" She cheered him on. "Snake need tongue?"

Jungie wriggled when Klaz cheeped at him. Since jello couldn't really talk, it was all he could do. The jelly bounced closer to Klaz and leaned forward, blinking rapidly. Hrmmm...what was this indeed.

The snake from before also turned to Riru, still very interested. As the snake found himself being climbed upon, he lowered his head, allowing better acess. Tongue flickering wildly, the snake now trying to memorize the scent of this being.

Shavira had indeed looked up to see if Osso was peeking several times, and giggled each time she watched his head snap away. When she finally finished her work of art, she removed her arm and hugged the picture to her chest, waiting for Osso to look up.

"Osso! Shavi finished!" She grinned and quickly grabbed both sides of the paper to offer it to Osso. "TADA!" The picture was certainly a child's drawing, the people on the paper being, of course, all those in the room. KiiMeLwi and Azumi stood in all their stick-figure glory besides the two shorter Mishaps, Osso and Shavi herself. Each person had been colored in what Shavira had thought suited them best. "See? See Osso? This Shavi, this you! This mama, this Osso mama!"

Shavira's Picture

KiiMeLwi nodded as Azumi walked away. She sighed. Gosh the room was so empty. They really needed more furniture. She chuckled as she watched Azumi mimic whoever it was on the other line and quickly covered her mouth to hide it. Azumi sort of looked like Kii whenever her boss called her.

Jungie wriggled again, and continued to blink at Klaz. What Klaz must not have known was that Jungie was indeed jello, and was even edible. Kii had bought Jungie at a store that had jellies turned alive, and no matter how many bites you took from one of these jellies, the jelly would merely regenerate, and taste just as sweet as before. Jungie was a very proud Raspberry-Stawberry flavoured jello, and Shavira had many a time taken a bite to ease any cravings she might have for a snack.

The snake, now unable to really SEE Riru any longer, moved his head (and body) up, and around. He moved slowly, not really wanting to send the furry being into the air. Tongue continuing to flicker, the snake began to wrap himself slowly around and about, sort of giving Riru a little ride.

((dont worry about it! XD its fine!))

Shavira's eyes slowly looked from the wriggling Osso to his mama. What was going on, she did not understand. Turning to look at Kii, Shavi asked, "Mama? What's going on?" She hadn't expected Osso to leave so soon, thats for sure. It had been the first time in a while the small Mishap had seen another, mostly because Kii was alway so very very busy. This had been such a delight. Why now? Shavira looked up at azumi with large eyes.

Kii sighed and bent down to be at Shavi's level. "Osso has to go now, sweetheart. But don't worry. We'll be sure to see him again soon! I promise. Maybe we can even have a playdate of somesort soon. Alright?" She rubbed Shavira's cheek, trying to get off a small bit of orange that had somehow managed to find its way to her face.

The second Shavira saw Osso's gift to her hit she floor, she did something she hadn't done in a while. She screeched. "Nooooo! Shavi dun wann Osso leave!" She would have made her way to the other Mishaps side to try and drag him away from his mommy, but Kii's arm was in the way. First one tear, then two came pouring out of her eyes, and her nose turned pink. Shavira looked at her Mama, and just gave her her very first glare.

Kii was shocked. Shavi had always been very quiet and even when Kii couldn't do something Shavira wanted, Shavi always shrugged it off. Kii would always try to make it all better, and Shavira would always end up giggling, but...apparently...this was different. "Shavi...azumi and Osso dont have time. They need to go. Oh do please understand." She hugged the snake girl to her, the snakes not completely comfortable with this.

Shavira's crying slowed down til it was silent. She then wiped at her eyes and turned around to get the picture she had drawn. Making her way slowly to azumi and Osso, she held it up. "Osso's." Was all she said before she turned back around to pick up her own gift. She held it to her carefully. "Shavi hopes to see Osso soon..."

KiiMeLwi glanced at Shavira before sighing heavily. "I'm so sorry about this...I don't know...well, I'll talk to her later." She whispered to azumi. "Here, let me get the door for you. Please, don't be strangers." She smiled, but it only seemed to have half of its meaning.

~Gift Giving~

Rabid snuck down the hallway, trying to be silent in the most amusing way possible. The giant stack of presents was finally getting smaller, and she had actually broken a sweat at this point. She gently Shavi's gift beside their door and left a small note before heading to the next room, slightly out of breath.

Tori shifted a bit, frowning slightly; he was standing a few inches away from Kii's big wooden door, and he was having second thoughts. Tucked under his arm was a little brown paper bag that seemed to be colored rather badly with magic markers. At his side, as usual, sat Wycliff, busily chewing on his fingernails; he also wanted to see Shavi, but was getting rather bored with Tori's lack of moving.

"Come onnnnn!" The little Rhino-boy said, looking up at his Guardian and putting just a little whine in his voice. His grey tail started to slowly wag, and thumped the floor loud enough to vibrate the carpet a bit.

Tori gasped slightly as he was bumped into, but as soon as he realized that Shavi was below him, a gentle smile came to his face. Before he could greet the little Mishap, however, she was already toddling off behind him, to talk to Wycliff.

"SHAVI!" Wycliff yelled, hugging his friend tightly. "Wy missed you!" The little Rhino-boy nodded several times, a happy grin on his face.

The side of Tori's smile quirked up into a smirk as he watched Kii blush and attempt to fix her hair. "Hello, Kii..." He said, his words slow and deep. "Don't worry, I would be in a worse situation if you interrupted me while I was playing with Wy, I know that..." The tall man stepped foreward, enveloping his friend in a gentle hug. "How have you been?"

Wycliff giggled as he watched Shavi talk and show herself off. "Shavi PRETTY!" The little Rhino-boy cried, his hands automatically clapping as they always used to do when he was a baby. He was so happy to see Shavira, he could just fly. The beads in her hair were so unique, he loved them automatically; Wycliff reached out, touching some of the beads gently. "Pretty..."

Tori smiled down at Shavi, crouching so he could pat her head softly. "Hey Shavira...How are you doing?" Before the word 'how' was out of his mouth, Shavira was gone with Wycliff into the room. Tori shrugged slightly, the smile never leaving his face as he rose to talk to Kii again.
"Ah, yes..." Tori said, his voice soft and deep; he didn't like to disturb people, especially his friends. "Tea would be wonderful, if you would..." The tall man stepped into the apartment, looking around before stepping out of the way so Kii could get in.
