Welcome to Gaia! ::

The twins just looked at each other, Rose smileing slightly even as Thorn just shook his head. helping Cole stay standing Thorn closed his eyes, allowing Rose to handle introductions. " Umm.. Im Rose, this is my twin Thorn.. we found your son in our cave, and my brother is attracted to him so we are wondering if we can stay and help protect this place." Rose, oddly pleased with her explanation, looked at her brother.. blinking as she realized he didnt share her cheerfulness. " Thorn..?" tense he didnt look up, afraid if he met his sisters gaze he'd strangle her. Yeah.. he should have handled the introductions.

Walking inside, Kirai took a long hot shower, at the end bathing in ice cold water, as she liked doing. Getting redressed, it upset her the open window and hanging her clothes up by it did not fully get rid of the smell. Finding some incense, Kirai closed the room and burned probably a hundred sticks of incense until only the sweet musky rose scent was left on her clothing. Sitting down in front of a mirror, Kirai powdered her face and applied light black eyeliner to her already midnight black lash lined eyes. Brushing out her hair, she allowed the long golden locks to dry and fall loosly around her face, shoulders, and back. Laying down on the bed, breathing in the thick smoke and watching it dance around her was strangly relaxing. After they finished burning, Kirai aired out the room and cleaned it of all left over sticks and ashes. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust..." She whispered silently to herself, deep in thought over this topic.

Phantom shook her head. "As long as you don't have anything to do with the other side, you are welcome here. Besides, my little boy here needs someone to stop him from his drinking habits." Phantom set to work on his leg, grabbing a chair and sitting in front of him. She leaned down and touched his leg, getting comfy for it could take a bit.

"I don't need anyone to help me with that mom. I can drink like a fish and nothing happens to me."

"Then explain your leg you drunk b*****d." Phantom sighed and looked up at Thorn. "If you want him, keep him. Just understand that if you don't stop this habit of his, you'll get more days like this."

"That isn't fair mom. I can stop if I want to, I just like my beer too much." Cole sighed and crossed his arms over his chest, looking up at Thorn.

"Is there anyway I can help?" Mr. Black asked, coming down the stairs to where Phantom was. His scent had been washed off completely and the ash had been wiped off his face. "As an orderly I got to deal with drunk people on a regular basis. It's kinda like my specialty."

" I am fine.. just ran before i looked." Rose assured the woman, smiling as she carfully pulled away. still sitting she rubbed the back of her head, laughing at herself as she mused. " Im just falling for this place, am i not?"

Thorn narrowed his eye, placing his hand over Cole's mouth firmly as he asked Phantom. " The other side.. is the b*****d who wants to kill Cole, yes?" he would handle this drinking problum.. though he refused to admit why he would care about either of these things.

" That is not needed.. but thanks." they did share many things.. even thoughts and occasionaly dreams.. but they never willingly shared sleeping quarters. in the cave there had been no choice, here he was not going to even consider it. so.. he would not quit.. " A pity, that."

"I've been thinking," Mim said, "about what you said. About leading. And I think I'm gonna go through with it." Gesturing around her, she said, "The Red Cross is dead. It died a long time ago..." With a lot of good people, she thought sadly. "So, I wanna start an organization of our own. To protect." Flopping against her chair, she spun around once and sighed. "Only...I'm not sure where to begin..."

Standing, she said, "Well, no matter, I've gotta drop something off to Asa anyways." Opening the top drawer, Mim protruded a jar. She'd thought about putting her heart into a canopic jar, but there wasn't a canopic jar for the heart. Oh well...

Slipping off her jacket, Mim wrapped herself in a cloak. She'd play discreet. For once. "I'll be back."

Phantom turned around to see who it was and then heat went into her eyes, thinking for a moment. "For now you can go down into the smithy and clean it up a bit. I have nothing really for you to do right now but I also need you working." Maybe if she got him to work long enough he wouldn't screw up more crap with this war like he did with Salazar.
