Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jasmine giggled as the tired vampire was brought down for the meeting. "I do apologize sir. Had I known you were asleep I would not have asked Julianna to let me meet you!" She curtsied ever so properly, giving him a bright smile. "I am Jasmine, daughter of Bella Donna. I met your daughter while shopping and was hoping she could come to my house for dinner! You are invited as well! Mother is use to vampiric visitors!"

Lotus grinned as well. "I would not mind giving small one baths. I like splashing. Perhaps they could come swim in my stream one day when the weather gets warm." He stopped as the large handsome blonde man came into view. Suddenly self concious he hid behind Dyvim again.

Lotus blushed a bit at being noticed but nodded softly to Dyvim's words. "He's really pretty. Not like some of the vampires mother gets visits from."

Jasmine nodded. "Yes dinner. She's making an excellent roast with vegetable stew and some lovely cinnamin rolls for dessert! She keeps a stock of bloodwine and blood pudding in our cellar for any vampiric visitors if you would like to join us!" Jasmine was very proper, in fact she had somewhat old world manners. "Oh! This is my little brother, Lotus! Say hi Lotus."

The kappa hid a bit more behind the dragon but came out to give Asher a proper bow before floating back behind Dyvim. "It...it is nice to meet you sir."

"Yes sir, blood pudding. Mother says it's an old recipe from the british isles and all of her vampire friends seem to love it. Like it's some sort of treat for them. We would be delighted to have you over." She beamed brightly, very much a teenage girl. And very much wanting a friend her own age and gender.

Lotus just stayed hidden behind the dragon. "You can come too if you want Dvyim. Mother's roast is really good."

Lotus grinned and nodded. "Yes, she gets it fresh from the local butcher and cooks it all day. And uses the herbs and spices from the garden. She kinda believes in fresh natural foods."

Jasmine clapped happily. "Great! I can give you a few minutes to tidy up if you wish then I'll lead the way!" The young pixie gave the french man as much time as he needed to fresh up before leading the little trope into the woods. Along the way she explained to Asher how blood pudding was originally created to preserve all edible parts of animas. Now a days, vampiric society used human blood. Some how her mother had gotten some and made blood pudding.

The little cabin was very quaint and old fashioned. Smoke billowed from a large stone chimney and the smell of cooking meat permated the area. Jasmine opened the door and peeked in. "Mother! I've brought home some friends! I hope thats ok!"

The woman who came to the door hardly looked a day past 20. Long black hair shown like water in the night. Her black eyes showed an age that didn't match her body as well as the hidden power inside her. "Ah, a vampire and his children. How nice Jasmine. Where did you meet them?" She welcomed the three strangers into her home and started setting the table. "My name is Bella, it is a pleasure to meet you three."

When Asher kissed the back of her hand, he just so happened to have the on with the strange tattoo on it. It glowed as his vampiric skin touched Bella but stopped once he released her. She noticed his reluctance to show his face but she made no outward appearance that she had. She also noticed the dragon seemed a bit shy. The fact he was hiding behind her shy son made it amuzing. "It is a pleasure to meet you all. Do have a seat while I get things ready for dinner. Jasmine dear, go into the cellr and get the wine and pudding."

"Yes mother!" The dutiful girl floated back out the door and into the darkness. She returned a few minutes later with a chilled bottle and a small chilled jar. She filled a glass with the wine and offered it to Asher. "Bloodwine sir?"

"Lotus love why don't you and your friend serve the soup while I put out some bread. The roast is almost done so we will have a first course." The dark haired woman walked over to a small clay baking oven and removed a delicious looking loaf of bread.

Lotus nodded and took the shy dragon's hand. He lead him over to a big pot filled with a wonderful smelling soup. "I'll fill the bowls and you take them to the table ok?" He picked up a laddle and proceeded to start filling bowels.

The whole family seemed to be involved in the meal. Soon a green haired girl, much younger than Jasmine or Julianna, entered. She blinked and immediately hide behind her mother's black skirt. "It's alright Mistletoe, we have guests. Be poliete." Bella smiled at the trio. "My youngest, Mistletoe."

The small girl looked up to her mother and nodded. She floated over and sat on her chair, smiling softly at the guests.

"Very well sir." Jasmine set the glass aside then made him a bowl of the blood pudding. It was placed at his place as the soup was delievered. Jasmine took her seat next to Julianna and giggled a bit. "Since when did your brother get so shy?"

Suddenly the smell of roasted meat filled the whole house. Spices and herbs decorated as well as a few more veggies, a dragon's delight. Bella pulled the large cut of beef from the oven and set it out. She cut off some for everyone (but Asher) and put it on plates. She served everyone at the table.

"Aright everyone, I believe dinner is served. I hope the pudding is good Asher. It is all I have that you may eat. Unless you can stomach the meat." She smiled softly and took her seat next to Mistletoe.

Lotus took his seat next to Dyvim and sipped on his soup, blowing on it to make to cooler.

Jasmine giggled and started having girl talk with Julianna through the meal. It was really nice to have a girl her own age to talk about things such as clothes, boys, make up, boys, music, and of course boys.

Lotus talked with Dvyim whenever the dragon's mouth wasn't full, reminding him that roast night happened once a week and that he'd tell the dragon when it was. He liked the dragon, as he seemed much more brave than he was.

Bella smiled. "Of course. It's fairly easy to make, it just required awhile to set properly. And as a vampire I'm sure you can play around with the taste depending on the blood you use." She smiled as the carnivorus dragon chowed down on his roast. She made sure to keep his plate full. "I'm glad you like my cooking Dyvim."

"Oh thats quite alright, I enjoy the company. I've been alone so long it's nice to have the children around. And of course Erik comes to visit as well." Bella ate very much like a lady should, proper and polite.

Jasmine giggled and whispered over to Julianna, but it was quite loud enough for all to hear. "Erik is mother's boyfriend. He's a dhampir who plays really pretty songs on his violin. Mother's thinking of asking him to help Mistletoe with her flute practice."

Lotus smirked as he watched Dyvim eat. He mostly ate a lot of the veggie soup, very little of the meat was touched on his plate. So to not waist the meal he gave his bit to the dragon. He also chuckled a bit at the mention of his mother's suitor.
