Welcome to Gaia! ::

Neko was rather level headed but this monster seemed to be hitting all the right buttons. A growl escaped his throat as he clenched his teeth fighting the urge to yell at the top of his lungs. What did this beast know of surviving in the real world when hiding what you truly were was the only means of living without fear. To live without the constant threat that someone may kill you for what you are. But more over, the thing that got on Neko’s nerves the most was when this creature…this monster referred to Riyo as if she were the same light as him.

“Don’t refer to Riyo as if she is the same as you. As far as I can tell the only monster in this room is you,” Neko spat. Returning to a calmer demeanor with effort Neko forced a smile on his face. “And how can you speak so lightly of hiding when this is the first time I’ve seen you? You seem to be the one hiding from the world and tormenting this poor girl.” Neko wasn’t sure this man’s motives but from what he was saying it was evident this man had been around Riyo for some time. “If you would do me a favor, I would kindly appreciate it if you’d shove off and take your leave.” Neko’s eyes seemed to be returning to a more normal state, at least normal in his eyes.

Neko’s expression did not change as the man approached. He kept his features as constant as possible not allowing this creature to see that he was getting under his skin. “Until we meet again.” Neko smiled giving a slight bow as the man faded from sight. To say the least he was relieved that he was gone.

Looking down at Riyo seeing that she was awake again Neko didn’t know how to ask her about this man. Where should he start, or would it be right to question her? Instead he choose to go back to the table and take a seat figuring that he could save this for another time. Right now he was still too tired to think straight and he hoped the others got back with food soon.

at the mention of the word "demon" poke remembered how, earlier that day she had run into that pesy little imp. She had forgotten about the incedent untill then. Looking back to the shiny braceclets she really wondere if something like this would have prevented the attack. Hell, she was half convinced it half attracted more of them cause of it's shiny colours.

At the mention of a reading, poke had to fight the urge to slap herself and drag the two girls out of the shop. Ding her best not to attract any unwanted attention from the shop-keeper, she asked hitsu, "didn't yuki want us back at the taven within the hour?

When Kitwana had put the jewelry around her wrist, she examined it for a moment before he made his comment about her lines. Lines? She looked up at him, a confused look in her eye. "I'm sorry?" She said, suggesting she either misunderstood or generally didn't grasp his meaning. Certain superstitions she had heard of, palm reading wasn't familiar at all to her. She stared at her hand, assuming that was where the interest laid. He offered, and she finally gave a slow nod. "Okay, I suppose there's no harm in that."

"This way, ladies, if you will." The foxen urged, gesturing with a waving hand toward the beaded curtain that kept the back room from immediate view. He paused behind them as he glanced toward the doorway. With a glimpse of the taller man, Kitwana's ears perked curiously. Well, wasn't this a strange one? That smile of Hanse's, while it should have been intimidating, didn't seem to phase the foxen's own content expression. He did not wait to see if the dragon would enter, as his close proximity to the door confirmed the intention. Best get the ladies out of sight, they might be frightened of him! Or, so he would assume. He lifted one forefinger to the dragon, suggesting he would return shortly. Then, he vanished behind the curtain.

"Have a seat." He directed quietly, nodding his head in the direction of a small round table. Conveniently, it was surrounded by four wooden chairs. He settled down into a chair, and reached out for Hitsuzen's hand. "All I ask, my lady, is that you share with me your name. So that I may properly See your future's path." Half truth, it was. Though, inwardly he would not deny that he'd have slipped in a means to ask for names sooner or later.

Not far behind Hitsu Mitsu followed ducking through the curtain toward the back. She failed to see the fox’s new shop guest before she took a seat, which happened to be right next to the anthro. Curiously she watched him as he studied Hitsu’s hand looking for the future wondering how it worked. Hitsu apparently wondered the same thing as she had asked. Mitsu patiently waited to hear what the fox would say before she would ask one of her own. But this all seemed rather interesting, Mitsu secretly hoped they would all get a chance to have their futures told to them.

“W…What do you think is in your future Poke?” Mitsu asked while she waited her turn. Her own future was so unclear but maybe that was just her. Maybe other people had a firm gasp on what their future held. The world outside the lab she had grown up in was still new and confusing to her but yet strangely familiar like she had seen or heard of some of these things in a dream.
