Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fae indeed followed, looking around the rooms they passed while she listened to Kii. "Ohh, then I have yet to meet a few people." As Kii turned and stopped, Fae nearly gently bumped into the back of Kiiato which signaled they had stopped walking. Following Kii's gaze, she squinted her eyes and pushed up the bridge of her glasses up her nose.

There in the distance she saw a couple people and an older Aerandir with a younger one flying around her head. She squinted her eyes more- wait, they can fly?! She thought they were too young! Just then, she heard a gasp from above and looked up, only a flicker of yellow she saw. She blinked and stared there for a moment. What was that?

Fae continued to study where the flicker of yellow came from before a new movement caught her attention. Only catching a bit of black, she screwed up her face. What was going on?! But within a few seconds, she saw a guy come back out into the main room. He was waving for them...no, beckoning. Puzzled, the smell of tea was what drawed her closer. @w@ Teaa..

"Oh, hey," she greeted the man. "I wasn't even sure if there were any male humans on this island," she joked, trying to figure out his personality. She smiled polietly and took a mug to pour some steamy hot tea. She then pondered for a moment, but decided not to ask too many questions. "I'm Fae," she introduced herself. "I think you already know who this is..." She took out her jar of artifacts proudly.

Fae nodded back to him. "So, I finally get to meet the great Alyosha," she grinned slightly. "And I almost thought I'd never meet a human male on Cetalu. It's a pleasure being part of this." She then looked to Kii and motioned for her to follow her to the seats.

Carrying her mug of tea, she took a seat next to Rahujo. Fae wondered if Kii ever met her before. "Hey, Rahujo," she nodded. She assumed Rah was used to nodding since that's what Alyosha did, and he's been here the longest. "It's good to see you again. Hm...do you know were Osero might be? I want to give him something.."

Fae nodded to him. "Ah, alright. Then I'll go wander around for him. Maybe we'll bump into each other- besides, I haven't checked out the beachesyet," she thought aloud. Excusing herself from the room, she bowed a little to Alyosha, Kiiato, and Rahujo. With that, she adjusted her satchel upon her shoulder and headed out.

Kiiato's heart began to beat faster as the ball moved around her. Was it? Could it be? Was Keanu acutally being born? She stared at it for a few moments, it's blue glow momentairly entrancing her like it had so many times before when the artifacts were in a jar.

"I-I.." She looked over to Alyosha, unable to find the words.

So many emotions were felt. She was excited and delighted, as anyone would be. But there was also a tiny bit of fear, the same fear from when she had first arrived on this island and was entrusted with the aritfacts. It had crept back out of the dark corner she had concealed it to. And with this fear came doubt and insecurity. This was it, no turning back now. But was she ready? Is she able to handle the responsibility? If it proves to difficult, what then? Will she simly be able to leave? What about Keanu? Will she be here the rest of her life?

Now trembling, Kiiato tried to surpress the emotions. Stay calm, stay calm, everything will be alright...just stay calm....What do I do? Can I touch it? I think I can, but maby I shoudn't - no I must do something

She lifted a trembling hand up to the orb's path. As it phased through her fingers, she smiled, the doubt and insecurity was receding back into it's tiny corner. Kiiato knew it was still there, but she was relieved it was gone for now, she could focus on what was at hand rather than the future.

"It's...warm" She was slightly surprised by the fact, and that she managed to form words.

Foenix walked quietly into the Community Center and passed through the main area and back toward Alyosha's rooms. Not knowing if he was in, and not wanting to disturb him if he was, she placed a small note under his door.



Standing, she nodded to the little gryphon perched on her shoulder, and headed back to their home.

Acia peeped down once more from the loft, eyes warily searching. She hadn't heard anyone for hours but... you never knew. Seeing noone about, not even Alyosha, she tumbled down the ladders and onto the floor. Clung to her was Jorai, her little Tupsu.

Acia flicked her tail from side to side as she paced about, going to the kitchen to fetch some milk mixed with honey and a little slightly stale bread. She woolfed it down, hungrily, sitting at the small table in the center of the living room and casually reading the book Alyosha had left there.

The little Tupsu was racing about madly. It always seemed to be very active at night and tonight was no exception. The moon was full outside and the subsidence of the rain had left it clear to see. Jorai flitted from window to window, seeming to want to go outside.
