Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tolly smiled and just leaned just right to watch what she was doing outside from the crack in the blind. he watched them go through the gate and he walked out without a problem in the world. He didn't care about the people staring in the slightest as he made his way back to his house. He sighed looking at the mess, he simply bypassed it, and went straight to his bath. After a quick bath he got into to bed and was asleep in a matter of moments. on his stand beside him was a few notes of what he needed to do when he woke up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Toole watched the morning for the first time in a long while from his window. He drank the tea Jezabelle brought up and sat patiently waiting for Ailes to wake up. After awhile when the tea began to get cold he picked the tray up and carefully carried it out the door and headed downstairs.

Jezabelle was trying to explain to Akira how Kaos fixed her tongue, but Akira just got up and jetted over to hug Toole. "I found her just like you asked, and did you know she has a tree sprite for a friend?"

Toole nodded; "I do, one of his trees is right outside my back door, and a word of warning for you. Do not go messing with it understand, because i will not feel the least bit sorry for you when he defends it understand?" Akira nodded; "Yes, papa had me learning about them before he left for Rodasia the first time. Jezabelle was telling me how I should respect his time too."

Toole looked over as a chair made a noise of being pushed back. Jezabelle stood up and Toole paled as he took in the sight of Quannah's dress on Jezabelle. "Morning Jezabelle, and you really didn't need to bring us tea this morning. However, I appreciate it, and you look beautiful. So what's the occassion your dressed for?" "Nothing special, just felt it matched Ian's present to me, and is it okay if Akira stays a few days to help me catch up on my cleaning?" Toole looked at Akira after he set the tray down on the counter. "It's up to her to decide that, but she needs to let Mary know what she is planning to do. However, once your caught up Jezabelle you start lessons, at least one night a week, so think on what you want to do, and let me know when your caught up."

Jezabelle brightened up; "Teach me how to heal people, and I want Ailes to teach me how to make potions. I'll have Ian teach me how to fix plants and stuff." Toole sighed turning around to lean with his hands on the sink. "Jezabelle, it's going to be tough for me to teach you, and allot of what you see will stay with you for the rest of your life. Jezabelle, can you watch someone die and not be able to do anything about it?"

Jezabelle immediately though of her mother and how she had to watch her be whipped to death. She hung her head sitting down; "I can, because I have watched it happen many times before you came and bought me." Toole nodded at the wall; "Alright then, once your caught up, we'll start, and once I'm done Ailes will teach us both potions."

"We are a long way from that point Ailes, i wouldn't force your hand, and would have asked before we got to that point." Toole turned around and gave Ailes a soft hug and a light kiss on the cheek; "Morning love, I'll make us some cinnamon tea since i drank the pot Jezabelle made, but are you feeling better now that you rested some?"

Akira made an odd face at the display of affection Toole was giving Ailes. She was rather young yet to understand the whole concept of love, and was at that stage where boys were still filthy little devils. This was partially helped along by the tormet her two older brother gave her for being the youngest sibling.

Jezabelle smiled and edged around the both fo them to get the water ready and on the stove so Ailes would have tea before supper time.

Toole just hugged her a bit around her waist. "If there is anything I can do to help you please feel free to ask it of me." Toole stood back up and held onto Ailes, hooking a arm underneath her legs to wrap them around his waist. He nodded to jezabelle and using and arm carried Ailes out the back door to set down on the back steps. He he took a hand and rubbed her back; "I'm sorry you had such a bad night."

Toole just responded; "I thought i was too, but now I am not so sure. I would feel horible knowing you were all alone living out the rest of your life without me." Toole lenaed into the hand rubbing his cheek and changed the subject. "Ailes, lets have a little breakfast, and then go for a walk. I need to clear my head, and just get out of towns and cities for awhile."

"Yeah, everythings fine, I just need to unwind some is all, been under allot of stress lately, and its only been one night in my own bed. I really don't want to be at a house either, I just want to go get lost somewhere, like the first day i came to visit you with Jezabelle, and we spent that time out in the middle of nowhere on the side of a mountain. However, we'd better go back inside before they come looking for us, and the tea should be ready by now."

Toole took a chance to return a kiss on her forehead and he grinned a bit licking a hand and flattened out a part of her hair that was sticking up. He left the rest of it alone as he joked. "There, much better, let's go raid the kitchen."

"It will be a surprise..." Toole set his empty cup down, "I have a feeling you'll enjoy it no matter where we end up." Toole stood up and began to clear his dishes bringing them over to the sink; "Jezabelle, don't be spending all day cleaning either, tomorrow I'll have a list of books you'll need to buy, and if Lennox and motasa show up. Tell them they are responsible for cleaning the kitchen for not coming back on time."

Jezabelle nodded; "How clean in the kitchen?" Toole shrugged; "You're the expert on clean and if they give you any trouble mark it down and I'll let Tolly deal with them after I chew on them for awhile."

Toole came back over to the table and held his hand out for Ailes. "May i be of service to escort this pretty lady?"

Jezabelle just smiled and removed the rest of the empty plates bowing sweetly to the two before moving off tot he sink to begin washing dishes.

Toole walked with her towards the edge of town heading north. "So what are your plans for the coming days?" Toole leaned down and snagged up a flower and placed it in Ailes hair. "I wouldn't want to bore you with things I do, so perhaps we can do the things you love to do for a change."

"Well we should ask Jezabelle if she wants to come as well, but if she chooses to stay I'll have to make a trip back for one night out of the week to give her lessons. Then again she could make the journey herself its not like your fathers house is that far from the gateway, and I can set up her testing with some of the healers in the infirmary that I still know. Athough i need to find out what jewel she had to tailor her lessons around so i'm teaching her high level spells that will leave her tapped out in two shots. However, I think I will take the offer of coming to Rodasia awhile, and I'm not going to be lazy either so if you work I'll work to."
