Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ashley leaned back sligthly, making more room for him to leave. She stared after him, and then slowly walked forward once he was out of sight. She knelt, picking a black feather off the ground and twirling it between her fingers. How odd... She smiled faintly to herself and then waited a few minutes befor exiting as well. She didn't want to be mistaken for following him. She decided to head back to her room, having had enough excitement for one day. So she slipped her headphones around her ears, started up Disturbed, and exited the building.

He smiled as she spoke."And if you do go somewhere I will follow you." he replied to her with another kiss. "So my little Serika what else do you have in mind for our lovely time today?" he was just content here as anywhere and being with her was the best time he could have. He remember how he met her and she wanted to kill him for bothering her until he showed her his sound ability, thats what changed it all, that and his story of his family. In any case he was just happy.

Thorn smiled warmly, his eyes soft. He was glad he wasnt being a bother towards her. "Ah. No... I'd really rather not go back to sleep. I've been having strange dreams." He suddenl thought of the dream he just had. He didnt even remember any of that ever happening... He then chuckled. "What about you? What are your plans for today?" Thorn asked her curiously. He hoped that he wasnt being too stalkish now. Again, he had just met Mioki and he hoped him asking didnt go the wrong way. His violet eyes watched her intently, awaiting her answer.

Giving her a smile he leaned down to her ear,"Well there is the cryistal lake that is on the edge of the woods, if you would like to see that. It would be nice to get back in the forest for a change as well, back to our... ferel side." his smile turned into a grin as he clenched her tighter in the embrace. It was ovious that he was excited to remember the place though his idea of his ferel side might be scary to see.

Rille looked up at Ananda suddenly. "Hey. Since we're here..."
Ananda groaned. "I don't like the sound of that," she interrupted drily.
Rille jabbed her in the ribs with the end of her flute. "I wasn't finished yet," she said tartly. After a moment, she continued "Anyways, do you remember that song we used to do together when we were little? The one your mom taught us?"
Ananda looked at Rille nervously. "If this is going where I think it's going, the answer is no. I haven't sung in years, Rille."
Rille gave her a sad look, pouting her lower lip. "Oh, please?" She started to play the melody on her flute, then paused to say "I know you remember it."
Ananda sighed. "Well....maybe just once," she said slowly. "But I'm going to sound horrible, and you'll never ask me to sing again," she promised.
Rille just laughed, and started to play again.
After letting Rille play a verse on her own, Ananda started to sing softly. Her voice was rough at first, but gradually softened.
"Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing? Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago? Where have all the flowers gone? Young girls picked them, every one. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing? Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago? Where have all the young girls gone? Gone to young men, every one. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young men gone, long time passing? Where have all the young men gone, long time ago? Where have all the young men gone? Gone to soldiers, every one. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing? Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago? Where have all the soldiers gone? Gone to graveyards, every one. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time passing? Where have all the graveyards gone, long time ago? Where have all the graveyards gone? Gone to flowers, every one. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?"
Rille was smiling broadly around the mouth of her flute. She improvised a descant as Ananda sang the verses of the song.

As she finished singing, Ananda looked over at Rille, and smiled. "And that's quite enough of that," she said firmly. "You're going to bed, cousin dear. You look exhausted."
Rille sighed. "Yes mother," she said jokingly. She carefully put the pieces of her flute back into the case, and tucked it into her bag.
Ananda stood, and offered Rille a hand up. "I'm going to go eat," she told Rille with a smile. "I'm starved. Maybe I'll swing by the room later, okay?"
Rille nodded, pulling herself to her feet and smothering a yawn. "Alright. I'll see you later, if I'm not asleep." She headed towards the door, yawning again. Pausing by the door, she said "Nan? Remind me never to pull an all-nighter like that again without a good reason?"
Ananda chuckled. "Okay. Will do," she promised, holding the door for Rille with a bow before setting out towards the dining hall.
Rille giggled, and shuffled off towards the dorm rooms.

She grinned. "I would love to see that. I think letting out our more...feral side...would be good for us. I've been aching to run for a while anyways." As a kitten she had loved playing outside. She loved feeling the dirt in her claws, and the smells! Oh the wonderful smells of the pines. Serika smiled and stood on her tip-toes, and bit his neck gently. "Shall we?" She said, playfully pulling from him.
