Welcome to Gaia! ::

"as will i" Naka said to effla. "excuse me for butting in, my name is Nakashima, but Naka will do if you wish. im new here as well. ive known a few others of the elven kinship so i know some Sindarin as well as most Tengwar." he explained. "me and aly here will get you fluent in common in no time flat".

Aly turns to the two and grins broadly, either not seeming to notice Effla's slight reaction of distrust to Naka or just deciding to steamroller right over it and be nice, as she so often did. "Hey it'll be alright. It's easy enough to learn the alphabet, and with two tutors you'll learn twice as fast!"

Effla took her legs out of the water, beginning to dry them. She smiled and was about to speak, but apparently had second thoughts as she frowned and closed her mouth to consider again.

"Think I hash to run to fighting leshonsh, teasher had sheluded them for todaysh", she said with an apologetic smile. "I arrived a few daysh late, had to walk here."

She was still eying Naka with interest, barely glancing at Aly anymore. She felt a little baffled about being offered help by a human - she just didn't manage to build a clear picture of this race.. "I hope to shee you two shoon though.. I think shtautue-shir Jashon knowsh where you both be."

As she finally finished drying herself with the towel, Effla picked up her flower-scented soup and rose up, careful not to slip. She blew a few colourful, scented bubbles off the soap, sending them at Rayka's direction. She waved at the three people around her, saying her simple farewell in a tongue that only Naka could understand.

The elven girl walked back at her locker in the women's dressing room, opening it to take her brown, lacy linen dress out. She spread it in front od her, making sure that it was unharmed after her travel and then changed into it. The hem of the dress had been plit on her sides to enable running and leg movement, and the frills and lace were placed so that they wouldn't get tangled on anything easily.

She took the dusty and dirty bundle of clothes she had come to the springs with, wrapping it in the same bundle with her soap and her towel. She walked away from the springs, determined to find a place to wash her clothing - despite the fact that she had brang many wardropes, she knew keeping clothes in such tatty state long wouldn't do them good.

Keila was eating her ice cream cup rather enjoyably as she walked into the area where the Hot Springs were, her face starting to get messy again. She hadn't gone back through Pallas' mind to argue or check up on what was happening at the forest, and she really didn't care, either. Stupid men. So egotistical.
I sound like a middle-aged woman. she thought to herself with a smile. Still leading Pallas by the hand, she saw steam rising not far off. Her eyes widened with enjoyment. It was the Hot Springs! Oh, she hadn't been here in forever and taking a dip in the springs was just as good as a nice, long bath, and not as resource using. She lifted her forearm to her mouth and wiped the remnants of the double scoop cookies and cream from her lips with emerald eyes shining.
"Pallas! Let's go! Spring! Swimming!" she exclaimed as she tugged on his hand, trying to run in that direction.

Aly gets up after a while and flicks her wings a few time to dry them out, then steps out of the hotsprings and sighing wraps her towel around her waist. Aly smiles and waves to Naka. "See you later Naka." She says, then walks into the girl's dressing room and gets changed back into her normal clothes, then leaves the room and heads back to exploring the school grounds.

"Hmmm which bath to go in?", he asked himself as he stared at the two doors. One saying males and the other mixed. Glancing at each one then again he couldn't really decide so he choose to do it the old fashioned way. Shoving a tanned hand into his pocket he pulled out a coin and placed it on his thumb ready to flip it. With a cling it went into the air, watching it made several rotations before dropping and he squated to look at it closely. "Hmmm so mixed it is? I somehow get a bad feeling from this...but you can not go back on the coin x3", he said ethuastically as he walked in. Glancing about he didn't see anybody so he walked in and choose a locker and began to strip to his boxers throwing his clothes and gear in. Clad in only his bockers he looked around again, he didn't really want anyone to see his tatoos over his back and sat at the edge of hot spring contemplating whether go in or not. His tail slowly swaying from side to side.
