Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tatsu smiled, again trying to ignore the tatoo. He wouldn't want Pippa asking about the numerous scars on his back, so what right did he have to asking Pippa about her tatoo? However, ignoring it this time was much easier, as he was trying to avoid a nosebleed. He stood up, his face red as he thought, I still gotta put my overshirt and greeves back on...

Tatsu then began putting his greeves back on, which was a long process of attaching clips to d-rings and such. After he was fully clothed, he grabbed his sword, still in its sheath, and restedit on his shoulder. He took Pippa's hand and thought, Alright, let's go.

As Tatsu carried her through the doors from the court yard she held tightly to him and yawned softly as her head laid against his shoulder. Pippa liked being held by Tatsu it made her feel at home and loved at the same time. Once they had made it up the stairs and into the room she yawned softly and crawled down out of his arms and slipped out of her dress and changed into a silky pair of pajama pants and a silky tank top and crawled up into the bed and motioned for Tatsu to come over. "Please make yourself comfortable..." She propped herself up in the corner as she watched him and waited.

As she tried not to fall asleep she bit her lip and let her tail pat on the bed as she thought of Tatsu to keep her mind busy. "I'm sorry I thought about leaving...I've just caused so much trouble..." Looking down at the bed she let out a soft sigh and shook her head some. Trouble is something she'd caused alot of since she'd been there and Tatsu is the one that kept taking the down falls of it. "I'm sorry for the pain I've caused you.." Looking up to Tatsu sorrow filled her eyes and innocense filled her face as she blinked slowly then looked back towards the bed.

Pippa grew even more frightened once he said that he was going to take a vacation from Ria. "You're going to leave me her....so that Vain can get me and take me back to those people, he knows where I am...and if they find out Taqune wouldn't be able to stop them..." Climbling out of the bed quickly she fled out of the dorm room and down the hall. She was furious that he said that he'd protect her then he was going to leave her alone when he knew that the Elites could find her at any moment. Growling she started down the stairs once almost to the end she tripped and fell down the last seven or eight of them but got back up and made her way into the lobby.

She was bruised and had a few small cuts from the fall but nothing major and she was too upset to care at that moment. Making her way into where the couches and such were she found the light fireplace and took a seat right next to it and turned the chair so that Tatsu couldn't see her. Watching into the fire she shook her head and bit her lip then closed her eyes and let her head fall into her hands as she brought her knees into the chair with her. Letting her hair fall down infront of her face like a sheild she laid her forehead on her knees and sighed softly.

As Tatsu's words ran through her mind she let out a scream and summoned a dagger and held it up and tossed it hard into the fire. When it hit the red embers splattered all over the place somes landing place was on Pippa. As they landed she shook her head and left them untill they flickered out and then flicked them back into the fireplace. Licking her lips she stood up and paced the room as she looked around everything seemed to come alive. The lights from the fire made the room dance with figures of little people, stopping only a moment to observe this she turned and went back to pacing. Knowing a slave trader or more then one would come for her and she didn't want to go she growled and let out a small cry. Trying to think of what she could do she bit her lip and paced even more. While she paced she awaited for someone to step out of the shadows and grab her.

Vain can't keep anything silent for long so she figured he ratted and since Tatsu left they were going to take advantage of the matter and come for her. Deep breathing was the only sound in the room other then the patter of her footsteps as she kept going back and forth across the hardwood floor. More anger was welling up inside of Pippa as she paced, she just wanted to pick up a chair and toss it across the room. Her tail swayed from side to side as she moved but soon it wrapped itself around her waist and remained there.

Once again she was alone and she didn't like alone expecially when she was there to fend for herself against the "Elites" or anyone for that fact. Being headstrong was one thing but being strong hearted was another. Everything in her head told her that things would be fine that she could take care of herself but her heart told her that she wouldn't be able to fend for herself. Deep down she wanted to believe her heart in the fact that she wouldn't be able to do it. Her arms had made themselves crossed across her chest at some point in time she really didn't recall when that happened but in her right hand a dagger appeared and on her left the bloody bandages seemed to vanish and white clean ones took their place.

Galea stepped quietly into the co-ed dorms, still holding Taqune's hand tightly in hers. She seemed to glow as she looked around the entrace. It didn't seem as big with him beside her, but it did seem brighter. Her tail curled back as Galea looked up at him,

"Have you been in here before. What am I saying of course you have."

She looked up to him beaming, for some reason she felt so proud that he had agreed to go to the dance with her, but it was more than that. They had started somthing togeather, it was new and exciting. Galea wanted to know everything about him at that very moment, nothing seemed good enough and yet everything seemed better. Life was just so perfect, like he was perfect.

Her ears perked up slightly she glanced up at him a smile never leaving her face,"I'm only on the fourth floor."
She took a step up the stairs grabbing onto the side rail. She wasn't going to fall up the stairs, not again. Her want to not fall down or up the stairs had grown even larger with Taqune being right there.
She contiued to walk up the steep stairs listening to Taqune intently. What was that he just sad, this was her chance she could ask him anything she wanted. So why was it right at this moment she could think of nothing.
"OK, let's see. What is your family like?"
She hoped this wasn't a fragile topic, it seemed to be with a lot of the other students. She kept her perky smile while they walked side by side.

Taqune smiled as she asked the question."Well they aren't here anymore but they were all right for what we were..."Taqune still smiled to Galea the subject didn't hurt him in anyway it was better the more she knew."I was just a werecat before scientist changed me to this neko form.My parents were killed as they tried to reject the experiments that I just took."Taqune seemed calm as if it was just a regular conversation.Either that said he wasn't emotional or he was strong in his will.
Taqune heard the crash behind him and turned around."Oh s**t Tatsu."Taqune wasn't in the mood to fight or anything besides spend time with Galea.Taqune was shocked as he talked for the first time for Taqune ears to hear."Wow Tatsu congrats on your vocial cords working."Taqune wasn't all that serious but he tensed up when he heard his question."I don't know where Pippa is but try the courtyard I think I smell her perfume coming from that direction."Taqune held tight to Galea ready to run if Tatsu wanted to fight he hoped he wouldn't so he could get to know Galea better."Tatsu I hope you find her soon the smell is fresh."
