Welcome to Gaia! ::

o_< Her sister would have to be an idiot to be seduced by someone this innocent and naive, so she figured him as harmless and someone she might as well greet. Besides. He could have some dirt on the rat b*****d that ran this island and wasn't coming to see her sister as much as she thought he should. Like every other minute.

"I'm Sydney. Syrenrei's sister. I'm helping her look after Delta when she's working."

Delta didn't even hesitate a moment as she extended her neck, bending it away from Kiro so he could reach some of the best places to scratch. Yes, worshipping was good. And scratching her was obviously a form of worship.

"Uh huh." It was just helping a sister, which she didn't really see as big a deal as Kiro might. Besides, she had other things on her mind, especially with her sister at home and in heat. Like this man running the island. With one so innocent, she decided she might need to employ some more tact when asking about him.

"You know the guy running this island? The one banging my sister?" Okay, well, not so much tact as supplemental information. Same difference, really.

Sydney observed his discenable embarassment, but of course couldn't just stop there. I mean, he knew the man and it was simply her duty as a younger-sister-who-acted-like-the-big-sister to check this guy out. Even if had a nervous, twitching, childlike teen in front of her. It was sort of like shitting out in the wild- you worked with what you had.

"So. Tell me about him."

Delta was of course oblivious to the topic and decided that she wanted to get off the dirty ground... which meant she was trying to crawl onto Kiro clumsily in order to avoid the outdoors' friendly filthiness.

She considered this question carefully as Delta gleefully stepped onto Kiro's lap. Yes, now this was the royal treatment she deserved. Carefully settling herself down, she extended her wings and carefully set them over his legs so she looked as purdy as possible with all her lovely feathers in view. Oh yes. A little bumpy, but a vast improvement over the disgusting ground. ^_^

"What is he, what does he look like, what does he do, etc." She crossed her arms over her chest in thought. "Frankly, I don't trust anyone my sister ends up fawning over. More often than not they are scum."

Well, at least she was honest.

Right. She sighed at Kiro's innocent-sounding words, not really holding too much faith in them. He was so young... of course he didn't see the evil in others. Or maybe she was just being overly cynical. Either way, it was clear this lad wouldn't give her an objective view on Alyosha. Probably some sickenly sweet praises, if anything.

"Delta." Delta looked at Sydney with another glare. No way she was moving. She was content, and she wasn't letting some old hag move her. She... she NEEDED this attention and pampering. Yes. It was VITAL.

"DELTA." Delta was still glaring at Sydney indignantly. "Get up or I'll muss up all your feathers. And your fur."

Delta jumped up, startled by the horrific idea. Oh, this was a base woman who was just... without morals. Mortified she jumped from Kiro's lap and started running home rather ungracefully, for fear that Sydney would add water to that threat.

Nodding and giving a slight bow, Sydney wandered after the small gryphon with a slightly triumphant smile. Now that she had moved in, Delta was no longer in charge/ twisted

A cigarette dangled from Inle's fingers as she followed Paur, her unwilling guide, through the settlement. Inle's earlier words still rang in his ears, and his wing still hurt from where she yanked the feathers out of it. The angry, haughty boy was gone, replaced by someone who looked more like a kicked puppy dog than a little child.

Inle didn't seem to care that she had wounded the Tahnee both physically, mentally, and emotionally. The little b*****d had it coming, as far as she was concerned. All she cared about was getting Marli back, and she hoped against hope that she would find the tiny gryphon alive and unharmed. She took a drag off her cigarette, relishing the taste: it was a habit she had all but quit since she had started living with children, but she thought this particular occassion warranted its temporary renewal.

Inle's head turned towards the source of the voice, and she eventually slowed to a stop. Paur stopped as well, eyeing the other two with a pleading expression. Perhaps these two would save him from the evil, raving psychobitch that was currently Inle? Slowly, silently, he extended his injured wing, as if to convey to them that he needed their help.

Inle forced a tight smile to her face as she nodded to her longtime friend. "We're off to find my little science project, because this dumbass--" here she gestured at the Tahnee with her cigarette "--decided that he was going to get rid of her, his way." She didn't seem to notice what Paur was doing, as the wisp caught her attention. Her pointing now directed itself at the Luc-wisp as she asked, "Dare I ask what the hell that is?"
