Welcome to Gaia! ::

Carol watched Paine with a giggle, the woman was repeating the same actions over and over, did she know? She herself hadnt relized that she had a patteren going. She would hum softly for a few secounds then rock Kapono, then pick up her sewing and sew a few more stiches put it down, sigh, watch Ms. Paine, then repeat.

She was dragged out of her thoughts however when she heard anothers voice. She span around to look at the golden child so fast that her hair fly in her face and mouth. Giving a disgusted face at the hair, she quickly brushed it out of her face and groaned, pulling it back behind her ears.

Once the process of fixing her hair was done she smiled at the child. "Hi there" She started while letting the thought sink in. It was a long pause before she answered "Well, I dont have extra clothes...but I do have this..." She spoke and stood up, placing Kapono in the chair she had sat in. She tehn shrugged the jacket she wore off her shoulders and handed it to the child.

"That should keep you warm..." Carol spoke thoughtfully and then looked around. "I have nothing to dry you up with, just scarps of cloth..." she spoke truthfully "Maybe Ms. Paine would?" Carol asked leaning over to pick up the wood fae once more and then stared at paine waiting for an answer.

Seriva gave a small smile and curtsied politely. "Thank you Misses, your very kind." She then sat down in a free chair, a large black furrbal leapt unto her lap and curled up there contentedly. Before she attended to herself Riva tried to dry off the cat, Worm. Once Worm was dried up and lay there, his tawny eyes half-lidded, the golden fae child cleane dup herself and put on the jacket thankfully. Once this was all finished she looked torwards the others in the room.

"Excuse me for prying Miss, but is that a young faeling?" Seriva asked Carol, interest in her voice. "It's just that I haven't met all of the fae in this town as of yet, and would like to."

Seriva nodded and shook Carol's hand. "It's very nice to meet you Miss Carol, I'm Seriva Moratao... My mother's upstairs at the moment." she frowned a tad when she mentioned her mother, but replaced it with a smile soon as she looked at young Kapono. "He's adorable. Mayhaps it's a good thing he sleeps often, if he was awake most young fae can be quite a handful."

With a gold-scaled hand Seriva plucked a soft yellow strand of hair from her eyes, then adjusted her headband. "How long have you been at Astora?" she asked politely. Worm looked up and meowed grumpily until Seriva stroked behind his bat-like ears.

Paine looked at Carol and Seriva, smiling with joy. Ms. Carol was indeed a nice person, and she was especially great with children in her opinion. Looking at Kapono once more, Paine whispered "He is indeed not a handful at all. He's very calm when he sleeps, although when I see human children, not fae children, they're so...loud. Though Kapono...isn't like that at all. Somehow, mature...for his age". As she finished her sentence, she headed back to her paper and sat down. She was VERY confident now about what she was going to draw now. Finally placing the tip of the pen against the paper, and in short strokes, Paine started to sketch Ms. Carol's design.

"Oh..." Carol murmered banishing all thoguhts of petting the feline. "I see..." She let out a breath she didnt knoww she had held. "Oh well..." Carol rocked the fae in her arms, while smiling down at him. "Well I wouldnt really know" She answered honestly in reply to the 'rare' comment. "As it is, you, shin, Kizzy, and Xue lin are the only children I have met. You, shin and Xue all seem calm. Kizzy...likes pancakes" She said looking over to paine with a smile.

"So" She smiled looking back over to the little girl, "Seriva, what do you like to do?" She asked in an attempt to make small talk.

Carol nodded as the young child taking it all in. So she was into self defense? Carol let a smile tug at the end of her lips as she rocked herself back and forth while thinking of the things she, herself, enjoyed.

"Well..." she started, "I like sewing, um singing is fun to, but i fear im not that good at it. I like to draw some things, and talking is a great hobby of mine. Some times I like to cook, and write. But I'de have to say my favorite out of all those is sewing. Its a great hobby, or more like the way I survive." She nodded at her own statement. It was great to have a job you could enjoy, it kept things from being to dull.

"I travel alot to, but apperently, the young girl of the Inn wants me to stay here. I think I will...If I can, as I dont want Kapono to be a wonderer like his mother." She added a soft giggle at the end of her statment before looking up at the ceiling, allowing her thoughts to wonder to any subject she might be able to bring up with the younger child.

At a new attempt to make this one perfect, Paine looked at the blank piece of paper, the pen sitting next to it on the table. White...White....White...that's all she could see at the moment. "Ah...stressful times" she said, rubbing her eyes in a circular motion. Looking back at the paper she still wondered what to draw. "I shouldn't give up...I shouldn't give up that easily" she said to herself as she picked it up, and tapped it on her lip once more. "That'll do!" she thought as the image appeared in her head. Forgetting of the mental note she made earlier, Paine put the tip of the pen on the paper, and lightly started to sketch the design, confident that this one will blow Ms. Carol away.
