Welcome to Gaia! ::

Amane cheered and waved her arms up in the air happily for the remainder of the hill then dug her heels into the groung at the bottom to make them stop "Hoooray that was a great idea! We have to do that again tomorrow!" she demaded noisily glancing around in search of Zadina.

Ardie let out a sigh of relief slowly opening an eye followed by the other "Umm I think we shouldn't so that again, it made my tummy feel bad and it wasn't exactly safe. Umm... Zadina what are you doing in the snow?" she asked curiously noticing his shape where he hit the pile of snow.

Hebal laughed giving Mari a quick shake "Yep they are adorable but pay attention or the chicobos might wander off and get into trouble. We'll take them to the park where we can sit and have a picnic and cuddle them" she suggested enthusiastically "So which do you want to walk first? We can switch chicobos on the way back"

Seph took a step back to catch the saphire using both of her hands "You should pay a little more attention you know, I heared some of those stones can protect you from things like poison and enchanted sleep but thanks a lot for the saphire" she smiled examining it then put it away and hugged Itaka "Let's move on soon, this is already starting to smell"

Gil smiled reaching over to pat Satoshi "You look nice" he commented sighing as the Viera stroked his back "But I don't think I've ever been lost in another dimension though there was this one time I came across this blonde punk near Zantetsu but I blasted him away with it" he said remembering it fondly "Don't think it was another dimension though."

Zadina's arm burst through the snow drift reaching about for a grip before he pulled himself, teeth chattering, out of the snowfall "T-T-T-That was k-k-kinda fun" he said brushing snow of himself and hugging himself for warmth.

Mari nodded taking a deep breath as she took Lily's lead as she nudged her with her head causing Mari to smile "Aww she likes me, well I'll take Lily then," she said watching Ivy fly from her bag to sit on Lily's back as if to ride her causing Lily to kweh confused.

Itaka chuckled "I could use some sleep and I don't get sick easily I think I'll be fine" he said folding his arms around Seph to cuddle her "Still lets get going then where now?" he said putting an arm around her and walking away from the carcus.

Satoshi smiled turning away to carry out the viera's instructions before settling down on the table "Yeah I guess I was right to think the other dimension thing was just silly and over the top then. The one you told me about how you got Enkidu was in one of the books but even that was exaggerated" she remarked relaxing a little.

Seph sighed listening to a faint sound of bushes rustling somewhere "Yeah that unicorn must be long gone by bow, I'll definitely be having to use haste tomorrow" she mumbled a little disappointed in herself for not responding fast enough to the beast "Well how about we just go the same way as the unicorn? We probably won't see it again but there might be other rare species around here" she suggested poking his arm.

Amane smiled and nodded "Yep the house certainly stands out, her mum let us help paint the roof. We weren't allowed to paint the flowers and rainbows on that we wanted but at least we got to pick the colour. What do you think of the pink" she added skipping closer to the path then leapt over her friends garden fence.

Ardie giggled handing Zadina a pair of mittens "Not long now and it was Amane who ultimately chose the roof colour" she explained taking his arm and leading him through the gate "Now when we get to the front door we have to be really really polite to her mum or else she won't let melanae come out and play" she informed him rubbing her ear.

Hebal smiled taking the stick from Merric's beak "Thanks for the present" she told him stroking his head "Can chocobos really do treasure hunting? I thought they just did racing, riding and flying mainly oh and battle" she asked Mari raising her eyebrow at Merric who headbutted her leg trying to get her to accept a leaf he just picked up.

Gil smiled reaching over to stroke Satoshi on the other table "Thats silly ain't that right Enkidu?" he asked the dog who seemed to nod understandingly "Most of what you'll get from those books is that I like to fight and hunt but I like my training too, and the harmonica but not many folk know about that" he murmered.

Itaka chuckled "Sure but I wouldn't count on seeing that one again, not now it knows we're here and it went so fast I'm not sure haste would be enough" he shrugged "Still lets press on it's not us looking for the blood anyway" he said moving a bush aside before a large hairy man pounced on him launching him back into a tree before leaping off and landing a few meters away dragging his hands along the ground to slow his movement as his claws dug into the ground. The wild man looked up his bushy orange hair flaring as he moved rapidly glancing up at Seph he beamed brightly "Ahhhh! New toys to play with! This should be fun!" he said brightly straightening up revealing his strong arms and legs under his colourful jersey. Itaka groaned as he pulled himself out of the tree looking over at the newcomer noting the bright red ruby crown hidden by his hair "Ugh what are you some kinda king?" he groaned reaching for his sword on the ground. The man laughed heartily "A King? Heavens no what are you though? With that unusual arm I can't tell if your demon or human?! I suppose either is fine!" he said rushing Itaka and putting his hands on the ground he kicked him hard with both his legs propelling him further into the forest.

Zadina smiled putting the mittens on "Thanks Ardie but I suppose it is a very interesting colour for a roof" he said happily brushing snow off his robes and checking his hair "But I promise I'll be on absolute best behaviour for her mum!" he said straightening up.

Mari nodded "Samanouske told me that when a Chocobo stick's it's beak in the ground it can sense other objects nearby which is best when locating treasure and rare stones and stuff if the Chocobo is interested in finding that stuff and little Merric here seems to love the idea" she chuckled "Though lily doesn't seem too keen" she said noticing Lily let out an exasperated "kweeeeh" at the sight of Merric headbutting Hebal.

Satoshi grinned reaching over from her table to squeeze one of Gil's hands "I told you it was totally over the top but theres got to be more things you enjoy doing than just that. I like training and playing my instrument but I also like dogs, swimming, drawing, designing and making clothes etc." she pointed out glancing down at the floor, "Hmm do I at least get to hear you play?"

Seph groaned flying away from the tree before it fell "Why would I be cold? It's only -5 degrees not to mention clothes are so uncomfortable, restrictive and wouldn't allow me to do things like this" she answered back landing next to the man then lifted him up by the legs and flung him into a tree trunk making splinters fly everywhere.

Hebal frowned a little but her expression quickly changed to a grin as she watched her chicobo excitedly dived head first into a pile of snow "Umm... actually Mr.Ombra isn't that mean a person when you get to know him, he just has a short temper and a big ego. Maybe Ivy will be more colourful again sometime or give us lots of spring flowers" she suggested cheerfully pulling the bird out of the snow and wrapped him into her coat.

Ardie shook her head skipping up the stairs happily "No no it's not that she doesn't like you since she hasn't known you long but there aren't any nearby elf places and you're a boy and your going to be playing with a bunch of girls" she explainedrubbing her feet against the soft carpet.

Amane smiled hanging back for the others to catch up again "I bet she will like you after talking to you for a bit because your a really sweet boy and well mannered" she reassured him placing her finger over her mouth "Now all of you be very quiet so that we can surprise Melanae when we enter the room, maybe make her jump" she giggled mischevously.
