Welcome to Gaia! ::

Loda had fell asleep out on deck sung to sleep by Syori's song even asleep his ears tuned in to listen to the beautiful melody, masking the words behind the lyrics and suddenly found himself remember something. "Loda...Loda you haven't forgotten? The promissssse..." He knew he was dreaming but it felt so real, the silhouette of a girl with a flowing silk dress. She stood in ankle deep moonlit water. At the beckoning gesture of her hand Loda felt himself pulled forwards like a puppet with a string attached to his chest. In her embrace she whispered into his ear. "You are to come to me, I've been captured in South America, my family is in shambles but you promised to come back for me." Her voice was soft like velvet and her breathe smelled like thick honey, like attracting flies to the bottom of a carnivorous plant's trap.

Arc stood up and climbed up to the crow's nest as he began repairing his claw gauntlets, before calling out. "We're closer to the South Americas and I want to stop by and get some coffee. You know what! Loda tired so we'll let him sleep if he wants to go anywhere else we'll go and change route." He laughed callously before tossing the cloth he used to polish the blades over his shoulder before jumping down, and taking Syori's hand whirling her in a dance and glanced at Desert challengingly, his eyes said you say she's your sister so she's fair game. Since she isn't.

Desert finished the song and looked at Syori. He looked at her and remembered how she reminded him of his master's wife. When she asked the question about who his master was he hesitated. Right before he was about to answer Arc came up and started to dance with her. He then saw the glance and thought about taking the challenge. His eyes said watch it Lion, for this ringmaster can tame you easily.

Syori glanced up at Loda as she was spun "Already going that way." She said. She danced with Arc and she seemed to be having a blast. Her eyes went back to her feet and Arc so she would not trip.

Syori was thrown off balance and flew in to the mast. She flipped around so she landed on the mast in a crouched position. "That was differnt. Des, no more jumping." She laughed.

Syori had not noticed because things like that are not something she realizes. When it comes to love Syori is the last one to notice, and it has to be plainly stated for her to under stand. Once the dance was finished she grabbed some food and jumped to the top of the captains cabin. "Hey Eat something." She said with a soft smile as she placed a plate of food on the roof next to him. "Why do you want to go to South Amarica? Arc wanted to go because of his Coffee." She was playing with the necklace the gold coin seemed to change its picture every so often.

Syori laughed at the fish hitting Des in the back of the head. Her balance was thrown slightly off at Des's over reaction and she started to fall off the roof. She managed to save her self but there was a cracking sound when she landed. Her face controted in pain for a few seconds before she fell on her butt. The cracking came from both her anckel and a floor board. She had fallen on it wrong. She forced her self to not cry in pain. Her father said crying was fine for girls but boys should not cry, She would not cry. Moving quickly so no one would notice she slipped inside the Galley and to the room which she declared as her's. She locked the door and buried her face in the pillow on the bed as tears started streaming down the side of her face. The bone was broken at the joint, and it was ridiculously painful.

((I thought that the Blue pearl got left behind, because Des grabbed a navy ship))
