Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Delta's a peafowl and gemsbok." Sy sipped at her water as she watched her daughter try to toy with Luc. After her behavior the night she had gotten help moving in, she had been curious and prodded her daughter about how she felt about the Aerandir. It had become evident to her that she was upset with Luc for some reason, but with Delta, even her mother wasn't always sure what annoyed her so.

Delta made a pathetic little sound as he started to poke at her, as if his little pecks were hurting her (although this was clearly not the case). Gods, didn't he understand? u_u This would be much easier if she could talk, but alas she could not, and so acting sulky was the best she could do.

Kiro nodded, smiling, as his questions were answered. The longer he watched the Aerandir, the more he realised he wanted something to do here. And he was sure he'd read that book from back to front several times. Not that it wasn't a good book, it was great. He just felt like he was getting mentally lazy. And that worried him.

He didn't actually say anything, but his smile split a little wider as Luc 'made his move' as it were on Delta. She seemed quite high and mighty, Kiro had noticed, and he wondered if she was going to accept being cuddled up to like that.

Stretching, Nyxa tsked under her breath as she watched the duo. Luc was being shiesty and she knew it, but she was far too entertained to ruin his fun.

Mm, yeah. All girls needed was a little snuggle and a little preening before they melted, and Delta was proof of that. Luc was slightly amused at how easy it was to get back on her good side, and it was nice to have a pretty girl around. He hadn't seen Marli or Iniko in ages, so his attention was easily swayed by the newest girl on the block. Whuffing quietly, Luc splayed a wing lazily over her back and continued his actions, grooming under her chin with glee.

She just blinked as she watched Kiro duck out and was suddenly reminded of her spotty hair. They had just dropped by for a walk to get out Delta's energy before Sy's shower. An energetic Aerandir who despised water and her shower never mixed well, because Delta would wail at her the. entire. time.

"Come on Delta, we need to go," she projected her voice towards her daughter.

Delta stirred slightly under Luc, but didn't budge. She enjoyed Luc and the simple pleasure of his company admiring her, so she decided to play a battle of wills with her owner. Of course, the fact that Sy was at least ten times her size didn't factor into her mind.

"DELTA." Delta looked at Luc with sad little beady eyes, as if she were indeed very sorry to go, but she scrambled to her hooves. With that voice she knew her mother would probably grab her if she didn't move quickly. Nuzzling his neck, she was still hesitant.

Syrenrei cleared her throat, and the reluctant Aerandir walked towards her mother slowly, glaring at her the entire time. This clearly didn't bother Sy as she looked towards Nyxa.

"I'm sorry, I really need to clean up and fix some dinner. We'll have to arrange some time for them to get together." She smiled as she picked up her peevish daughter and left the centre, worrying about the present she left Aly and what she would make dinner at the same time. Delta was preoccupied with trying to keep her mother's grasp from ruffling too many feathers.

She had just come out of the shower and Delta had pestered her to return to the centre. Sy was willing in hopes to run into Aly, but Delta wanted none of the ebil man- she was hoping for attention and affection from fellow Aerandirs for her beauty. Ah, to be young and have the world revolve around you.

Sy, meanwhile, was wringing out her hair as she walked in, leaving a small trail of water. In order to keep herself cool she wore a white one-piece bathing suit with a wrap around her waist. Her normal clothes would have taken forever to dry and be much, much hotter.

"Hey Kiro," she replied, smiling warmly. Taking out a chair at his table and sitting down, she pushed her hair behind the chair's back and relaxed a little. Delta looked irked for a moment and then jump-fluttered a couple times until Syrenrei picked her up and placed her on her lap. Delta had deemed Sy's lap much more comfortable and worthy of her prescence than the dirty floor.

Now was the time to be sneaky, and subtle. "Have you seen Alyosha?" she suddenly blurted out. No, no! Quick recovery time! "... uh, for Delta, of course."

Delta started in her lap, with a confused squawk. HER? Why would SHE look for that godforsaken pain in the a**? Bah! Glaring at Syrenrei she protested for a moment before preening herself angrily.

"Oh," she replied quietly, staring at the table a moment as if lost in thought. Maybe... maybe he needed to get away from her? After all, since the bath he hadn't been seen on the island... NO! No, don't think like that! Scolding herself mentally she smiled for Kiro. "I'm fine, thank you. I was just... tired yesterday. I had just gotten home from work."

Delta peeked her head above the table as she tried to get solid footing with her hooves on Sy's lap to no avail. She didn't really like being left out of the conversation, as she figured she was the most important topic around this island (being obviously the best Aerandir specimen as she was a miracle and all). Ugh. The table looked dirty too.
