Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pippa smiled and nodded. "I'm glad you came back and checked on me....and I've not slept in days too except when I blacked out..." Standing slowly she reached her hand down to him and closed her dark at the moment ocean blue eyes. "I'll take you back to my room...I know Taqune wont mind..heh he sleeps in a hammock..." With a soft yawn she took her free hand and attempted to cover her mouth before she did so but she obvously failed misserably.

Smiling she stood with his help then took his hand in hers and watched him a moment before ever walking away. "Heh I've slept here quite a few times..." With a slight smile she gave his hand a slight tug and pulled him in the direction of the doorms. Hoping he'd fallow she let her grip get lose around his hand incase he didn't wanna follow but never the less she made her way across the courtyard to the door opening.

Kayla walked into the courtyard, the chain clutched tightly in her left hand. She had intended to go back to her dorm room and read her book, but having discovered the chain, and figuring it belonged to Immoratlus, she decided to put her reading aside and look for him.

She walked into the courtyard and stopped, looking among the mingling students to see if Immortalus was anywhere among them.

Not seeing him and having already searched the Training Hall, Library and Cafeteria, she sighed and sat at the edge of the fountain, unfolding her hand and looking down at the chain again.

Kayla sighed. Her eyes widened for a second...
What if he thinks I stole it? She blinked a couple of times, not liking the sound of what would happen if he thought she had taken it away from him. She quickly stood and began to do a thorough search of the courtyard.

At some point, her shoelace had become untied, but she didn't notice. She was just keen on finding him before he found her, the thought of him thinking she had stollen his necklace in her mind. She walked by the tree, walking right by him. She spun around, seeing him from the corner of her eye. She watched as he hit the tree. She gulped slightly; it could be her next.

She cleared her throat, walking forward calmly; until she tripped over her shoelace, falling behind him, the necklace flying a few feet in front of her. She winced as she had fallen on something sharp; a piece of glass or something. She quickly scrambled up and retrieved the necklace and walked up to him. She would have tapped him on the shoulder, but she wasn't sure if she could reach that far; he was so tall. She cleared her throat, ignoring the pain in her right knee.

"Immortalus? I think this belongs to you," she said, opening her palm, the necklace laying inside. "I found it at the Hot Springs, wrapped up in my towel"

She wished he would take it so she could tend to her bleeding knee.

Kayla blushed.
"Sorry, must have miss heard you... not the greatest with names sometimes. Sorry about that Immolatus,"

Still a bit flushed in the cheeks by her mistake, she looked down at her knee, watching as the red liquid poured down. Oh no. That sharp pain must have done this when I fell...

She was about to examin it, when she suddenly felt a very, very hard grip on her shoulder. She looked up at him as he glared into her eyes. Her heart beat fast; she said she had found it. She didn't steal it; did he not believe her? She just sort of froze and looked up at him. He released her, but she still didn't move. She just blinked and continued to watch him.

"Yeah...my knee..."

((I have to call it a night. I can't even read *hence why I kept on saying Immortalus instead of Immolatus*...*falls asleep*.. I'LL POST IN THE MORNING))

Shien sighed to himself, before lifting his head slowly. Being the abnormally light sleeper he was, the sound of a fist hitting something had been enough to lift him from the blissful sleep he'd been in. After glancing around and locating the source of the noise, two people standing near the Tree, one of them being a bit rough with the large tree, Shien shook his head.

He gently lifted his free hand from Deirdra's back and began to pat his pockets lightly. After grabbing a still intact cigarette he also managed to find a lighter in the abyssmal depths he called his pockets. He lit it, placed it between his lips and set the lighter beside him on the bench. He didn't know how long he'd slept, but he was still slightly tired. Glancing down, he smiled as his eyes landed on the slightly curled up form of Deirdra. He thought for a moment, then used his free hand to carefully make a odd gesture. The smoke from the cigarette promptly began to mold and shift before forming into a small cup and hardening.

He dipped the ashes into the cup by tapping the cigarette still against his lips into the cup, as his other arm as holding Deirdra's head and he didn't feel like moving it. He let his wings remains covering them slightly, keeping too much light from hitting her and also hiding her very well.

Immolatus gave off a slight frown after hearing that Kayla had forgotten where the hospital was. He sighed and looked down at her bleeding knee again.

"The hospital is down that way..." Immolatus said as he pointed far off into the distance. "Seeing how you can't walk, I might as well carry you to my car and we could drive there..."

With those simple words, Immolatus then walked foward, towering over Kayla, he stood next to her and kneeled down onto one knee, lowering himself just under her height.

"Hop onto my back, my cars just down the path." He said, as he waited for Kayla.

Yoshimi walked out into the open air again. For sometime, she had shut herself up in the dorms. It was a rainy summer. She had scared people when the lightning was attracted to her body. She was afraid to shock people.
Classes would start soon. How she longed to control the torment of electricity that surged through her soul. She wanted to know why she had been burdened with these powers. She wanted to know why she could not control them. She also wanted to know what was with the thin vine protruding from her right palm.
Yoshimi let out a squeal, and shoved her hand into the pocket of her jeans, trying to rid herself of the vision. She could still feel the vine in her hand. She nervously
pulled it from her pocket.
"is...is this another freakish power of mine? Earth powers? Why?" she asked herself silently, "why me?"

the vine shrunk back into her hand, as Yoshimi stepped from grass to concrete.
She realized then, that she also had to ability to control earth powers, if only in an earthy terrain.

Tears of anger welled up inside of her eyes, and she clenched her fists.
Random sparks flew from her body.

"I hate you!! I hate you for ever having me! I hate you for giving me up, so that i'd have to figure this out on my own!!" She shouted, apparently to her parents.

Yoshimi ignored the looks of the others in the courtyard, and reached up to wipe away the tears. She began to walk across the grass, to the big tree, watching her step, as self-created vines tried to entangle her feet and ankles.
