Welcome to Gaia! ::

He looked over at Yaraif with difficulty. It was hard to see her on his shoulder. She peered back at him with luminous eyes over her itty-bitty sweet.

"I suppose," Progolo said to Chao, though he was still smiling tenderly at the kun-kun. He turned his attention to the woman. "Well, 'aamha' means hello and 'san' means me or I. I think...any, just say 'san' and your name and she'll figure it out."

(( By the way, I'm not making her language up off the top of my head. >> She CAME unable to speak English. <<; ))

((xD I was wondering where the language was coming from :3
eh, not dragging, but alright, if I don't hear from you for a while Chao'll excuse herself and go and hunt for a coin -nod-))

Chao nodded, "alright," looking to Yaraif she did her best to imitate what Progolo had said, "Aamha Yaraif," her hand reflexively waved, "san Chao."

((-wavewave- hope to see you then Progolo!))

Chao grinned at the energetic response then nodded as Progolo excused them. "It was nice meeting you two, hope to see you around," she replied with a wave and a friendly smile.

After the two had traveled a fair distance away she turned and set off towards one of the tents, determined to search for and eventually find one of the hidden coins for Sanar.

Abbey ambled into the festival grounds with her basket in her arms, and not at all (visibly) perturbed at the fact she was wearing her pyjamas. Or at least, not as much as Keilin. "This is your fault," she commented to the side in a sing-song voice, knowing full well that it was Abbey was the one that had instated the dare.

She was more lively than normal today, or it would seem.

Abbey caught sight of Chao and called (loudly) from afar to grab her attention, "Chaaao!"

She snorted, waving off Abbey as if she were a pestering insect. A moment later, she heard her friend call for someone else that she had not met yet. Her focus turned to the ground beneath her, her habits of shyness when meeting someone new kicking in.

However, her attention was soon caught by Chata, who faithfully ran up to Keilin after he seemed to have ditched her, not wanting to be seen with someone wearing pajamas. Seeing this, Keilin found the courage to look up at the one called "Chao" and smile weakly at her, making a small greeting gesture with her hand. Chata chirped excitedly, hopping up and down but making sure that he had kept his distance from the strange Abbey.

As Keilin and Abbey approached Chao couldn't help but notice they were in their pajamas. Which brought across the question 'why?' then, a moment later 'I wonder if that's more comfortable than what I'm wearing now?' She only thought about them for the moment they passed through her head before introductions had begun and she was returning the greeting with a wave.

"Ah, it's nice to meet you Keilin and Chata," she watched at the Aerandir jumped a bit and chuckled, though it was obvious she was very curious about the Aerandir, this being her first time really close to one and it's guardian. Still, she turned back to Keilin, "eh heh, yes, Abbey and I are neighbors in our poor, half deserted village," by all technical means it was true. The village was half-deserted simply because of the few guardian's that lived there.

"Have you two heard about the treasure hunt?"

"I'm only eccentric with you," she pointed out, amused, "Because we know each other so well, don't we, Kei-kei?"

Distracted by the prospect of an activity, Abbey perked up, "Treasure hunt? No, we only just arrived."

Keilin huffed at Abbey and poked her in her side, sticking a small part of her tongue out so that Chao might have missed it. She then turned away from Abbey, unresponsive. "We only arrived late because of your crazy suggestion," she seemed to say to the empty air.

She listened to Chao's question and then smiled, glad that she had a chance at helping someone relatively new to the Aerandir. This made her feel useful, and a Keilin that feels useful to others is more likely to warm up to people.

"Well, Chata's jar was glowing for a while after the two artifacts were transferred into one jar, but he took a while to come out as a gryphon because..." she winced, a little ashamed of what she had done in the past, "I wasn't exactly looking after him day to night while he was glowing. I suspect that other Aerandir owners have had a much shorter time period for when their jar was glowing until they emerged as a gryphon. But yes, glowing is normal for the Aerandir, unless.. Chata is defected?" She eyed her little Aerandir partner suspiciously. He cawed out in annoyance and nipped on her thin pajamas, getting a "yowch!" in return from Keilin.
