Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Here it is!" she declared, holding up the tiny bottle of glue she'd stolen. "I don't think it's very good but it'll work-"

She blinked as Rikki began insulting Shun. Where had that come from? "Him? Nah, he's just not used to friendship I think. But he's a good person! I can tell. I'm magic." She nodded, grabbing Rikki's wrist roughly to produce the two crown pieces, not being the slightest bit delicate. "Hold them still!"

With Rikki holding the pieces, she carefully applied the glue to one edge, with her tongue sticking out and everything. "Just gotta give him some time."

"Maybe because he's too crabby to make friends. He's seriously kind of a jerk, man." He glanced up skeptically at Danny's declaration, but was roughly jerked back into the task at hand. He furrowed his brows, focusing on holding the pieces still and together while Danny tried to glue them.

"I'll give him time, but I don't think he's going to come around."

Alec wasn't far away, and over heard the talk of not dying. A small reminder he too had made that very same promise. His eyes were distant then, recalling the days events as he watched from his spot the others talking. A lot had happened..in only a few days time span. Alec swore it felt like so much longer, between the Banquet, and Parade his life was taking a lot of unexpected bumps and turns. Sighing slowly he ran his hand over the back of his neck. For now he'd just mull about, maybe go find a place to sit and eat. He'd snuck some of the ale that was out, recalling Nik's comment about drinking such things, and decided it was rather pungent after a few sips. Yuck. Maybe he'd just quietly slip his mug back on the table for some one else to finish.

Wrinkling his nose a bit he grabbed himself a plate, sitting down in an unoccupied space and quietly ate.

The red head hadn't even planned on finishing it. So the fact some one was fussing him about it wasn't exactly his favorite. The sudden urge to down the whole damn contents of what he'd poured occurred to him, just because he'd been told he shouldn't do it. That and 'kiddo' line rewarded Cyril with a small huff sound from the younger. Alec been on good terms with him, but his ego didn't exactly like being reminded he was still a child.

"Whatever, I was just curious. And I'm not a kid, Cyril. I'm older than I look." He waved a gloved hand dismissively, popping a mouthful of food in before he got cranky over the situation. He was short yes, but he was 15, more than able to sign up for the Military, or hold a job to help support his family. Maybe it was childish of him to say so or feel as such, but he insisted none the less. He was just young enough the other may have been right, but Alec was also just old enough to be completely and utterly stubborn about the matter. Alec wasn't really upset, but the older wasn't his keeper either. Plus, it wasn't like he was planning on grabbing another couple tankards full. What could a couple sips hurt?

Shakuntala jumped a bit at Zinnia's sudden enthusiasm again. She was positive she'd never get used to such energy. Upon realizing her little statement had spurred the birth of a larger promise caused her to waver. The seventeen year old hugged her hands to her waist and dipped her chin to where it sat parallel with her bosom. There was so much pressure in that charged statement. Live for each other? She had trouble with the idea of living for one!

Glancing her eyes to the pile of hands, apprehension flooded her stomach. The girl settled for just the touch of her fingertips; nothing more, nothing less.

"I'll... I'll t-try..." was the best she could manage and, with that, her hand shot back to the center of her being.

She felt like she had did something wrong. Very, very wrong.

Having found a table far enough away, Shun went and finally grabbed himself a plate of food before seating himself. Once he was situated, he went ahead and began eating in silence. His gaze did wander over towards the group he had walked past, noting that Preacher had at least declined the promise. He might have been somewhat disappointed if he went along with that. Of the group, he figured Preacher would know best of the realities of their mortality. Well. Him and the trainee. He'd think those in the military would know better.

As he looked towards the others, he just scoffed lightly and returned to minding his meal.

Lillian wandered near the food area. While this week had been a disaster for her, she couldn't help but feel the need to get something out of it. If it had to be food then she would take it. Besides, she just had to endure just.. one more day. One more day and then her father could not complain if she just stayed home. The event would be over, and she could go back to her work. His attempt at magically getting her to make friends would fail once more.
