Welcome to Gaia! ::

A soft sigh escaped his lips, almost too quiet to be heard. Maru folded both arms in front of his chest and stared at the ground. One wouldn't be able to tell by his face alone, but he was actually worried. The worry, none the less, did not change his demeanor at all, nor did it change his attitude. Staring at the ground as he was, he couldn't have seen the two young women who were eyeing him the entire time, not that it would matter. Maru shifted in the seat a little after a time, then propped his elbows against his legs, leaning his head against his now propped up arms. "Hmm..." his eyes glanced up to somewhat gaze over the sky above. "Bother...how a man's duty must outweight his personal feelings. Maybe I should have just asked...not that finding him would have been any easier in that confounded forest. Such a troubled time now...why that beast had to attack this of all places I cannot phathom. This would certainly be easier if that damn Graves would answer a question or two at least." the thoughts ran through his head again. Maru leaned back against the bench, another sigh. He glanced sideways, noticing a branch which leaned over the bench from a tree which probably had been damaged by Citedal earlier. He saw through his eyes a single leaf, and easily plucked it with his index and middle finger. He gazed upon the leaf for a moment before simply flicking it into the air, letting it slowly float back to the ground in such a purly serene way.

[Sorry guys, gotta go, I"ll be back in a few hours!]

Brushing her hands through her hanad through her hair she luaghed lightly and closed her eyes as she rook a few steps forward away from the shaded area. Opening her eyes and turning to Dinah she smirked .
"Well perhaps not, but the fact is we'll never know unless we go so lets go then. And if he doesn't want us there he can simply say bye...right. Besides its obvious that anything i did say your curiosity would have won."
Deciding that she might aswell go with Dinah, to cease Dinahs' aswell her own curiosity. She began to walk off in his direction, once she had a plan she was never one for backing down. Besides he looked somewhat lonely.

((sorry i gotta go too, probably be back at the same time as Ceron. lol))

Immolatus took one final drag of this cigarette as the lit end reached the butt. He inhaled the last breathe of smoke as he flicked the cigarette onto the ground with his thumb. Before exhaling the smoke, Immolatus stepped on the dying cigarette with his right foot, killing the cig. He looked up and noticed two individuals walking over to another. Immolatus stayed where he was, and walked by the large tree. He sat down, leaning his back onto the trunk and closed his pale eyelids as he finally exhaled the smoke.

Selene was in a panic. She was blind. Taking a step forward she stumbled, falling to the stone wall.

" Ahhhhhhh! " she screamed, terrified. Selene relied on her eyes for everything.

Her head connected with the wall with a sickening crack. She crumpled onto the ground. Her long black hair falling in a fan over her. Her breathing became shallowed and strained. A small trail of blood streamed out onto the stone from under her head.

Scytheress had her back leaned against the tree, her claws scratching lightly at the bark and chipping off small pieces. On the opposite side Maru resided, and it was because of him that she was here. Having trailed him through most of the forest she'd been quite disappointed in herself for losing him as she was still recovering from Citedal. She'd been wandering back to the Courtyard when she had spotted him from a distance and immediately hidden from sight, deciding instead to creep around the Courtyard and slip over the high wall behind him. Her tail brushed against the grass lightly and she finally came around the tree trunk to stand behind Maru to his left. His unease was apparent and it disturbed Scy as his cool exterior seemed to be cumbling. Scytheress had never been one of many words and she only uttered a single, almost cold introduction.

"Hey.."

Dinah looked back once before stopping virtually just to the side of the man, Something rather unusual happened and Dinah had to think of something to say. it didn't take her long though she did feel a little shy, she always did when around people that looked quite 'Dark' she herself wasn't a dark person or a sunny person she was Dinah, the neko girl who likes the colour Tan...

Dinah's white cat tail was swinging back and forth with nerves but her mismatched eyes where crystal clear and perfectly reflective, they showed virtually no emotion not even her curiosity...Dinah finally spoke her voice was normal but there was a softness too it that just hid her nerves...

"Sorry to interrupt your peace; you looked interesting and a little too curious for my own good, so i just thought I'd come and say hello...I'm Dinah by the way..."

Its was polite enough; except when her voice took a slightly different tone when she spook about being to curious for her own good. She apologised in case he was a loner and would take being randomly talked to the wrong way, she did not want to end up in another bad situation...she shifted her foot slightly as she changed her gaze to him to avoid the glare of the sun. She must look pretty silly wearing tights in this weather but it covered her bruises and cuts and besides Dinah owned very few pairs of trousers...

She came too again. The pain was still intense, her sight still dark.

It was quite a sight to see. Selene slowly pulled herself up, using the wall. Her black hair was coated in a light frost. Blood ran in small trails down the side of her head and neck. Her once bright silver eyes were blank and white. Blind.

She stumbled and caught herself, stuggling to walk with the overwhelming pain in her skull.

Selene felt her surroundings. The Courtyard. She now knew where she was, but from there it was blank to her.

Blindly going she stumbled around the courtyard, hoping beyond hope that she'd meet somebody somewhere who'd be her eyes...someone to take her to the hospital even.

Haruko walked in after coming from the library again. This time he borrowed another book on Alchemy. This time its the advanced version, since he studied all the other basic book. "I must say, I am getting pretty good." He then Noticed Ciris sitting on a bench. Haru then ran toward her to say hi.
