Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sayuri wandered inside, Rhiannon walking quietly behind her hand clutching onto Sayuri's skirt hem. They both walked over to the waiting area, Sayuri took a seat and Rhiannon sat on the floor, playing with a cuddly toy.
'Hi,' Sayuri said quietly, looking at the two women.

"Hi." Lena looked at Sayuri and Rhiannon in a curious, but not unfriendly way. "I think we haven't met before. May I introduce myself to you ? My name is Lena." She offered her a hand.

Rhiannon looked up from trying to pull an arm off her plushie and watched her mother. Sayuri smiled, shaking the extended hand;
'Hi Lena. I'm Sayuri, and this,' she looked at Rhiannon,
'Is Rhiannon, my daughter.'

"Hello Rhiannon." Lena smiled at the young girl. "I tried and applied for an appointment too. It has to be wonderful to have children. Esspecially such beautiful ones." She blinked at Rhiannon.

'Well yes,' she smiled, as Rhiannon beamed at the lady who was complimenting her.
'Even when your child is a little madam at times.' Rhiannon hit Sayuri on the leg with her toy, poking her tongue out.

Lena laughed slightly and smiled. "Are you here for a check ? Is she ill ?" The young woman asked a little bit worried.

She shook her head.
'Hi Mall,' she smiled before answering Lena.
'Oh no - Rhiannon is fine. I just thought that there might have been some other children around for Rhiannon to play with but it seems to be too early for the others.'

Lenore walks through the door, Damien toddling unsteadily beside her, gripping her scaled hand with one os his own.

He looks around, shyly, with green-gold eyes, before hiding behind Lenore's leg.

Lenore chuckles and waves to everyone.

'Hey Lenore,' Sayuri said, twisting in her seat. Rhiannon stood, leaving the poor soft toy in a mangled heap on the floor. She went over to Lenore and tried to look around her at Damien.
'Hello!,' she exclaimed, bouncing in her patent leather shoes.

'Oh no!' Sayuri chuckles, winking at Lenore.
'How terrible.'
Rhiannon looks at the silly adults.
'He is there!' she says, pointing. Then she waved.
'My name is Rhiannon whats your name?' she said in a rush.

Rhiannon looked around, and nodded;
'Damien,' she said, twirling her hair.
'You have funny things on your face.' she said, peering at the toddler.

Sayuri rolled her eyes.
'Rhiannon be nice - thats not polite.'

'Sorr-eee Mummy,' came the reply. Sayuri smiled at Lenore.
'How are you and Eirnae? Damien looks well.'

'Scales?' Rhiannon looked at them, then reaching out a finger touched Damien's are.
'Feel funny!' she giggled.

'Oh we're good. A little tired to be honest. Rhiannon is running me ragged,' rubbed her head.
'But she is growing into a lovely, if naughty little girl.'

'I wouldnt know,' she laughed.
'Sati wasnt this bad I'm sure - she seems to be seeing how far she can push me,' she gave a wry grin.
'But David has promised me that will we be going away together soon for a break - Sati gets to look after Rhiannon,' she laughed.

'Funny,' nodded Rhiannon. She squeaked on her shoes, looking at Damien.
'You dont have a tail?' she peered.

Sayuri nodded.
'Private time,' and she just winked.

'Oh, no tail? Kendall has a tail and Daddy has a tail when he go wolfy-man. I want a tail but Mummy calls me a funny little girl when I say that.' she giggled.

Sayuri yawned, walking back in with Rhiannon skipping along behind. She ran over to Lenore and waved at Damien.
'Hello again!' she exclaimed as Sayuri sunk into a seat.

Rhiannon waved a bag of jellybeans at Damien.
'You want one?' she asked, then looked at Lenore.
'Can Damien have sweety-beans?'

Sayuri nodded, giving Lenore a faint smile;
'I'm fine, just tired for some reason.' she sat up a little more.

Jaclyn yawned boredly as she stepped into the clinic with Cyrus - the runt had dragged her to the arcade for the third time that week. If she didn't find something to distract him with soon, she was sure she was going to kill him.

Cyrus watched absently as his 'aunt' flopped into a chair and glanced around the clinic curiously.

Rhiannon opened the rustling paper bag and took out a jellybean of each colour and gave them to Damien.
'I dont know,' she shifted a little.
'Funnily enough the last time I felt like this,' she motioned to Rhiannon.
'She was the result.' she shrugged.
'I dont think it can be that though.' Sayuri smiled at the woman who had entered with Cyrus.

Jaclyn glanced at the strange women waving and smiling at her and returned the gesture, though she didn't get up - sitting was far too comfy for that. She'd just relax for a minute before getting all social.

Cyrus blinked at the strange scaled boy. ..hm.. Well..he had some scales, kinda like Bronnie.. He wanted to ask if he'd been shedding too - was that what his momma had meant by new skin? Would Bronnie stop looking like a dragon then? He stay where he was though, eyeing Rhiannon warily. She might try to kiss him again. Ugh. Maybe if he didn't move, she wouldn't be able to see him.

She shook her head.
'I'm okay,' she smiled.
'Thank you for your concern though. I think I just need rest - being woken up at two in the morning to look at the moon doesnt really help with your sleep cycle.' she chuckled.

'Thats okay,' she said, chewing an orange one. Rhiannon looked around and then spotted Cyrus. She waved, showing the bag.
'Want a sweetie?'

He pinned his ears back when she realized he'd spotted him, eyeing the bag hesitantly for a moment. It could be a trap..but candy was good.. His momma didn't let him have much.. His tail twitched as he walked over to the pair and nodded, tucking one hand behind his head nervously. "Sure.." He glanced down at Damien and smiled a bit - it'd been a while since he'd seen another boy around the clinic. "Hi there."

Rhiannon smiled at Cyrus, not really noticing his reticence, or even remembering why he would be like that.
'Hello Cyrus,' she chirped, the sugar making her a little hyper already. She squeaked the floor with her shoes, liking the noise and she moved the hand without the bag, wondering if she could pat Cyrus's tail.

'It is,' she smiled.
'I can't really get cross when she is that excited about the patterns on the moon.'

Huh.. Why wasn't this kid saying anything? Bronnie and the other little kids he talked to did.. Hm.. He leaned down and peered at the scales on his cheeks curiously. "Did you shed or somethin' kid? How come you only got some scales?" He didn't seem to notice Rhi reaching for his tail though. "Hi, Rhi," he said off-handedly.

Rhiannon ran over to her mother, stuffed the bag onto her lap and then ran back to Damien and Cyrus, tweaking the latter's tail as she passed - the temptation had become too much. She looked at Cyrus.
'Damien cannot speak very much yet,' she said, remembering what his Mummy had said.

"Yeah, shed," he echoed. "It's like when you lose your skin and grow new skin instead." He blinked and jumped when his tail was tweaked, whirling around so he was facing Rhiannon now and holding his tail protectively. "He can't? How come?"

'He only little,' she said, looking at Cyrus as if he was silly. She poked her tongue out.

Sayuri wandered inside, Rhiannon skipping along besides her. She spies Kamiki and the buggy and patters over, eager to see the baby. Sayuri waves over at Kamiki, then takes a seat with a relieved sigh and opened the magazine she had bought along.

Rhiannon shows Gavin one of her plushies, making it walk along the buggy.

Sayuri looks over smiling, peeking over the top of her magazine. Rhiannon makes the plushie fox fly around Gavin and nods, looking solemn.
'Yes Mrs Doctor Kamiki.' she then giggles.

She wiggles it, making it land in Gavin's lap and then bounces it away, making yipping noises for the toy.
'Like foxy?' she says to the baby.

'Aww,' Rhiannon looked around and then back at Gavin.
'No cry - no cry!' she said, holding the fox plushie out.
'See - you can play with it.'

Rhiannon looks a little shocked at the treatment her poor plushie gets and she retrieves it. She shakes it at Gavin, making it yip angrily.
'Poor foxy! That was soo mean,' she pouts a little, not realising her special mopey face will get no where with a baby.

Rhiannon sucks the ear of her plushie thoughtfully, and waves goodbye to Kamiki and the fussy crybaby. She ran back over to her mother.

curseeviloctopi: David smiled, gently shaking Sayuri to wake her from her nap. He had told her that he had something special planned tonight, but he didn't tell her what exactly.
Silvamord1: Sayuri stirred, blinking up at David. 'Mm, what?' she said, blinking sleepy eyes. 'Isnt this meant to be a vacation?' she said, sitting up, and poking her tongue out at David whilst trying to tidy her hair.
curseeviloctopi: David smiles, gently kissing Sayuri "Oh, it is, but I have something special planned for tonight."
Silvamord1: She grumbled goodnaturedly. 'Oh well if you have something special planned,' she kissed him on the nosetip, giggling. 'I should shower, then try and do something about the mop on my head.'
curseeviloctopi: David chuckles "Love, your just fine like this. Your as beautiful as ever"
Silvamord1: She punched him playfully; 'Well I can never get tired of hearing that, but you're so very biased.' she said, getting up and going into the bathroom for a quick shower. Clean, with fresh breath, and untangled hair she returned to dress. 'What should I wear?' she asked, searching through her clothes.
curseeviloctopi: *David smiled, and produced a long, silvery dress* How about this?
Silvamord1: She raised an eyebrow; 'I know thats not one of mine,' she said, touching the silken fabric with a hand. 'Its very beautiful,' she said softly, curiosity rising as to what this 'something special' actually was. She put the dress on and gave a twirl. 'How do i look?'
curseeviloctopi: Absolutely beautiful. *David smiles, and takes Sayuri in his arms, a silver rune appearing under them as he teleports them to the shrine in the woods, hoping that the guest of honor was already there*
Silvamord1: 'What are we doing here David?' she asked, looking around, a little confused from the sudden movement.
curseeviloctopi: "My dear, we are eloping" David chuckles, kissing Sayuri.
Seleste GW: "Ah, I was wondering when you would arrive," a deep soprano voice says from the other side of the shrine, the darkly skinned female in her ceremonial robes...
curseeviloctopi: David smiles, stepping back a bit from Sayuri to bow to the woman.
Silvamord1: 'I - umm - what?' Sayuri tried to string a cohesive sentence together. She jumped audibly when she heard the voice, blinking at David. They were getting married, and now? Shocked was an understatement.
Seleste GW: rounding the candlelit corner, a stick of smoking incense in her right hand and a lit candle in the other. Calavel smiles softly, lighting yet another candle near her with the one in her hand, then making the trip around to stand in front of the altar, setting the stick of incense with its unlit brothers before setting them aflame for their scented smoke to float up and make the air thick around her and the nearby couple thick with the smells of lotus and jasmine, the only incense she could find in Eirnae's stores recently. If only she had ones of her native blooms... No matter. She turns and offers David and Sayuri a warm smile, blue eyes glinting with the knowledge of David's request for her to marry them both without outside interfence. "I am glad to see you, even if you caught me during my preparations. " Her gaze goes to David as she asks, "Are you both prepared?"
curseeviloctopi: David smiles, looking to Sayuri, eyes glowing with love as he just gives a simple nod, taking her hand in his.
Silvamord1: 'Umm,' she uttered again. Then she looked at David. So it was a bit of a shock. It was also romantic and spontaneous, and she certainly missed that in her life. She squeezed his hand and nodded; 'I am.'
Seleste GW: A nod is her silent response before moving both of her hands to hold the candle she has yet to set down. It may not matter to the casual observer, but those who pay attention to detail would notice that this candle is a blend of two colors instead of being a plain ivory like all of the others. A soft silvery gray swirls about a light peach, as if the colors embracing one another even as their wax is melted by the flame cradled within the candle.
Seleste GW: "In our Lady's hands you are held, together and burning with life. Your love is bright and warm, yet it is not eternal. She can make it thus." She looks first to David then Sayuri, asking them both the same...
Seleste GW: question with one sentence, "Do you wish this? Will you allow our Lady to enfold your love with hers, and make it last for all time?"
curseeviloctopi: David again looks to Sayuri, looking into her eyes, and then nodding. "I do"
Silvamord1: 'I do,' she said simply, a little bit overwhelmed. That and was she holding back tears of joy, her voice sounding thick to her ears.
Seleste GW: Calavel holds the candle out in front of her as she intones, "David Wolfenbrother, Sayuri Nitta, touch the love you share."
curseeviloctopi: David gently reaches out to touch the candle, one hand still holding Sayuri's
Silvamord1: Sayuri held out her free hand, fingers trembling slighty as she touched the candle, brushing against the smooth wax.
Seleste GW: Again, nothing at first is all too noticable when the two touch the candle. However, there is a shift in the wax's colors, each slowly shifting to the side their respective individual is touching the candle. Soon, one side is pure silver and the other peach, and a division begins between the two. A cold breeze enters the shrine and whirlwinds about the couple, making the many candles dance in their wax havens. ...
Seleste GW: "My Lady cannot join two unvowed hearts," Calavel offers as explaination as the candle proceeds to split into two, each half carrying its own bit of the flame with it as they go into David and Sayuri's hands unbidden. ...
Seleste GW: "You must tell one another of your devotion, the truth of your hearts, before she may make your love eternal." She nods to David, "Speak your heart first, David Wolfenbrother."
curseeviloctopi: David turns to Sayuri, smiling "Sayuri, you are the flame in the darkness, lighting my way, the one who shows me all that is good in this world. For you, I would do anything, even rage against the heavens themself if I had to do so to be by your side. My heart and soul are yours M'lady, I just ask that you be gentle with them, for they have been badly hurt in the past, and are still frail. I love you Sayuri, and will always be here."
Seleste GW: Calavel nods again with a smile, even as the thin candle in David's hand seems to become a bit thicker, its flame sparking with a soft hiss as it grows in height. "Now you, Sayuri Nitta."
Silvamord1: The tears had spilled over during David's words and she took a moment to compose herself, wondering how to put what she felt into words - she looked at him; 'There are not enough words in this world to tell you all that I feel, you have become my rock, my heart.' she paused a moment. 'When we met you were with another, and through our adoptive children we became friends. My heart always hoped for more but i could not tell you. When the opportunity presented itself for me to tell you what I felt, I was happy beyond belief that you felt the same. Through everything that has happend I've only wanted you. My heart, my soul and my everything is eternally yours, and I want nothing more then to live out my days by your side.'
Seleste GW: Calavel reaches out to clasp the underside of one of their hands, the ones holding their candles, giving them the faintest of squeezes. Sayuri's candle does much the same as David's did when her vows are complete, both candles now just slightly smaller than the one they started out as. "Through the power of my Eilistraee, our Lady Silverhair, I bring your hearts together again." She guides their hands to touch one another, the candles' sides brushing as a result. That same chill wind filters around David and Sayuri as the candles start to merge once again into one, their flames shifting color to mimic their own hues before they too become entwined, a burning twist of bright peach and calm silver that defies the laws of reality. "Your love is now eternal," Calavel says as she releases their now joined hands, the candle floating up so as to allow them to be closer to one another. "May yours souls forever burn as one."
curseeviloctopi: David smiles, and leans in to kiss sayuri, hands clasped with hers, eyes full of his love for her and his joy.
Silvamord1: Sayuri had watched the candle a little mesmerised, realisation flooding her that she was wedded with her greatest and true love. For a moment she paused, then pulled David to her with a smile, capturing his lips with hers and enjoying their first kiss as a married couple. She pulled away moments later, and turned to Calavel, thanking her profusely.
curseeviloctopi: David smiles, the rune appearing again as they disappear again, reappearing in the hotel room. "I love you Sayuri"
Silvamord1: 'I love you too,' she said, smiling almost shyly it seemed. She was far from virginal now but this seemed like a first time again and her hands roamed over his body. 'My sexy husband,' she purred softly.
curseeviloctopi: David smiles again "My beautiful wife"
Silvamord1: She tugged him towards the bed, pulling him down with her. 'Thank you - for this,' she said in between kisses and pulling his clothes off. 'I'll show you how much I appreciate this and you, right now.'
