Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lauren shrugged off Miller's affections, she didn't want affection right now as she was still focused on Nita, "Maybe I did sleep with Miller on purpose." She lied, "Doesn't matter what I'll say anyway that's what you would believe Nita. You always had me pinned as the bad girl." She crossed her arms and turned her head away, sniffling in some tears.

"Doesn't matter what happened, we broke up and I'm free to do what the ******** I want. But you seem to have done whatever the ******** you wanted BEFORE we broke up." She turned to face Nita again, "Four months in a coma and you just couldn't wait to get laid could you?" Lauren accused. "I'm glad my CANCER you so wanted me to get allowed you to turn straight. Maybe you will be lucky and I can just get it again! Wouldn't that be awesome Nita, to never see me again?" Lauren exclaimed with sarcastic venom.

He'd just been in the neighborhood. That was Gaius's only crime. He'd taken the long route from the site, wandering as he would, enjoying the air after the physical and emotional exertion this morning. He was even in high spirits, having thought he'd done a marvelous job with Miller - that was a boy who was set straight! No more girls hearts would be broken by him!

As they drew near where Nita's duplex was, Vixen's head perked up, catching the sound and whiff of familiar friends, and with a happy bark she was off running. Gaius too had heard something, just muffled voices, but he squawked in surprised and pounded after Vixen. The voices grew louder.

Vixen was already up the stairs, nosing past the people to get at Comet, when Gaius rounded the corner after her. He followed more hesitantly, wondering if there was a gathering or something here... His ears twitched up. He could hear crying! Some girl, from the sound of it, was crying! He hurried faster up the stairs, coming up to the doorway, and opened the door without knocking, calling, "Hey! Is everything alright in here?"

Lauren's focuse on Nita was interupted by a stranger comming in the door, then Miller's outburst towards him. Lauren got up and looked over Gauis, tears still obviously in her eyes, "Is this the guy?" Lauren exclaimed towards Nita with a smug smirk. "Well, at least I know it wasn't his dashing looks that made you go straight." Of course, Lauren had dismissed the fact that she had slept with a guy recently as well.

Gaius blinked widely, staring at the scene in front of him. Nita's hug caught him by surprise, pushing him back a little, but he recovered his thought process enough to wrap an arm around her. "N-Nita? What...? But-!"

Miller was there, he'd registered that. Was he apologizing to Nita? Nita was distressed. And there was another girl there. Crying by the looks of it. She'd made a nasty comment, was it directed at him? He was so confused!

"I-I know I said I wouldn't, but you were so upset! I just went over to set him straight, that's all. Make sure he'd know not to betray you again like that, and to apologize to you!" He shot a glare over her head at Miller. "What are you doing to her? Are you here to just hurt her more?"

And Miller finally got Lauren's attention for the night, "Miller ********... I didn't..." But before she could get more words out he left and slammed the door on her face. "s**t! See what you did Nita!" She exclaimed turning back to the panda. "Alright so it was a stupid accident but damnit... GARRR" She was at a loss for words but knew she didn't want to be here any longer. Lauren stared over towards Comet and then looked back at the door. She looked at Nita then her eyes darted towards Gaius.

"You can have her! Good luck with that Mr. ******** Ed!" Lauren exclaimed. "And Miller wasn't the one that hurt her it was ME! You should of come and ******** punched MY lights out!" Lauren yelled as she came up in Gaius's face, her eyes still full with tears."

Gaius pulled his head back as Lauren raged at him, surprised by the outburst, and then Miller had his turn, and Gaius continued to stare after the man had left. What had this all been about? And what was Miller so upset over?

But he had little time to think about this. Reflexively, he put his other arm around Nita as well as the yellow mongoose woman redoubled her verbal assaults. His wings fluffed up as his black feathers stood on end, ears flattening back and lip curling.

"I don't know who you are, but unlike some, I don't hit girls. Miller was the man in that situation, he should have known better. It's not any better that you were trying to hurt Nita. Some friend you are."

"Stop it!" Nita yelled. "Stop it, stop it, stop it! I didn't leave you for anyone, I left because of you!" Her voice broke and she backed away as Lauren went for Gaius' face.
