Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wyv just blinked, rather in shock about the whole occurance. People were doing things for her. One of whom she'd just met. She really didn't know what to say. That was part of the reason why she'd joined the Aerandir project. You can't just live on a world, you need to be a part of it too. What better way than to emmerse yourself completely in something? Wyvern accepted the feather with reverence.

"... Thanks. Foenix, Nehanda," she said, nodding to each in turn once she'd found her voice. "I really don't what to say," she added lamely, absentmindedly tickling the palm of her hand with the feather's tip. She also gave Chao's hand a squeeze as she too offered to get something for Makai's quest. "You too, Chao. I really appreciated it." She gave a watery smile.

And then she was distracted by the sudden comotion- a new gryphon, here? How auspicious. A good omen for such a pleasant meeting between the islands.

Makai frowned, but only briefly. It seemed he'd have to work harder to have himself understood. This could be fun. But right now it didn't matter, as Osu had answered his question, sorta. The glowy was good? He didn't remember, although he knew he had come from a jar. He supposed it would be hard to remember soemthing that happened to you before you really existed.

He noticed immediately the sudden shift in the child's expression. "Aroo?" he asked, peering up at the fox/crane and flitting about anxiously. He didn't think it'd get stuck, after all, people thought of things like that. Carefully, he mimed unscrewing a lid, then mewled questioningly. Or was that against the rules?

Nehanda gasped at the sight of Zanzibar. "Oh, wow!" Looking over at Sanar, she grinned widely. "Come on! Pie just got outta his jar! Let's go meet'm, and I'll introduce you to Peblo. She's a really good friend, an' she draws pretty pictures!"

She tugged her new friend along with her as she ran over to Pueblo. "Hee! Look at him! he's all over the place!" she reached out to help steady her friend. "Hi, Pie! I'm 'Handa.

"You're quite welcome, Wyvern." Foenix started to say something else, but she was distracted by the commotion around Zanzibar. Oh, goodness! He was a gryphon! She wanted very much to run over and meet him, but didn't want to overwhelm the little boy. Instead, she settled for waving over to Fae. "Congrats, Fae!"

"Ah." Wyv nodded in response to Fae, realizing that she'd been staring a bit obviously. "His name's Makai. And um," she went through the list mentally, having stashed it just a few moments before, "still need twine. And cloth." She nodded, adding a belated, "Nice to meet ya'll."

Makai for his part bobbed agitatedly, calming down as Ieyasu explained why opening the jar was a bad idea. He mummbled appologetically at Osu. He hadn't meant to get his new friend in trouble! This thought upset him. He'd seen consoling motions before and attempted to pat Osu on the shoulder. Of course, being a wisp, he passed right through the older aerandir, but he hoped the message came through.

Then he noticed the jar and the orb within. "Aaaah!" he cried, pointing. "Luk! Luk!" He was going to learn these mouth-sounds, and learn them soon.

Attracted by her ward's cries. Wyv turned to the jar. "Wow," she commented to no one imparticular. "Day a firsts, innit?"

(( Ieyasu mentioned getting the cloth, if you wanted to help out on the quest, Fae, so that leaves just the twine unaccounted for.))

Fae beamed at Foenix's complement and geustured thanks with a grin; she was truely excited about her new playful charge.

The girl quarked an eyebrow at Wyv and frowned. "I know I have twine, but it's in my home...on Cetalu. No matter, I think we have an island messenger, and I will send it to you asap!"

Finally tired of hanging upside down, he released his wings and gave a few jostled flaps. Curling around in mid-air, his long tail streamed behind his small body like a kite and flew around Nehanda and Sanar. Making a figure eight between the other two children, he landed on Nehanda's shoulder and cocked his head. "Cheet?" He looked between the three children before lowering her head in a sader fashion. Even his tail went limp.

"Hoi Sanar," Pueblo greeted their new friend. So there were growned up Aerandir on this island. Now she could ask about this new place and paint new pictures!

She giggled to herself as she watched Zanzibar fly around with great arodynamics and land on her best friend's shoulder. But he seemed different suddenly and walked over to stroke his back. "What's wrong, Pie?" Blinking, her ears started twitching and shifted her eyes. What were those.. murmuring sounds?

Sanar smiled, giggling at the gryphon's actions before he settled and seemed to get... sadder all of a sudden? "Pie oki?" she asked, a confused look crossing her face when Handa asked if she was hearing anything different, she twitched her ears and flicked them about, hoping to catch a bit of what her friend was talking about.

As Foenix left Chao followed the other woman's gaze to the group of Aerandir. Paranoid maternal insticts kicked in and she quickly followed after her. Had something bad happened?

((Just to point out, Chao, Sanar can only hear the murmurs unless she's touching Zanzibar or vice versa. n.n ))

Fae was already to her feet and looked at Zanzibar drooped on Nehanda's shoulder. Not sure what this meant, she could only watch him before he started moving again.

Suddenly upright again, he crooked his dark head around to find the source of that familure sound. Golden eyes finally pin-pointing Sashen'ka, he gave an excited shrill and dived off of the Aerandir child's shoulder. Giant wings opened at the last minute, daring as a torpedo, and soared over to the newly arrived gryphon. Waving his front paws in mid-air, they touched the so-desired ground and opened his beak to give a welcoming chitter. His tail stood much like a cat's, observing this other gryphon's striped tail. She was much bigger than he, but that didn't seem to phase him at all!

Dumbfounded, she watched Zanzibar ditch them just like that. Pouting, she looked up to her guardian and whimpered. "Does Pie not like us?"

Fae didn't have any time to try and catch him, considering how he flew between her legs anyway. But it finally made sense to her and turned to her confused child. "Of course he does, Abby. But, I think he just felt small around all of you and wanted someone of his own type to play with. Another gryphon. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to still play with you! It looks like Ieyasu's gryphon just came, so why don't you go greet her? That way all of you can play together before we have to go."

((aha! Okay Fae, I edited my post <3 ))

Sanar perked at the sound of breaking glass, wings flicking as she caught sight, not only of the newly arrived gryphon but of the remains of the jar. Sliping away for a moment she quickly found a shard of the dull glass and slipped it into her bag before turning her attention fully to the gryphon.

"'Lolo Sashken," she said, leading on her knees and taking in the new gryphon with a warm smile and a flick of her tail.

"Gryphons, gryphons everywhere," Chao giggled slightly, relieved that everything seemed to be as normal and alright as it ever was. The teen stayed where she was so that the gryphon didn't feel too crowded, settling for examining the newest Aerandir with a smile from afar.

Doris was so busy trying to remember names and faces that she almost lost track of Tayte. She managed to spot him, gnawing on some type of foodstuff or other. She made her way toward him and scooped the little gryphon in her arms, afraid that he might get in trouble or eat too much. If he ate too much, then he'd get cranky, and that was the last thing she wanted right now.

But Tayte seemed to have had his fill. He squirmed out of Doris's arms and weaved into the crowd, looking for attention and perhaps a nice pat or two.
