Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I apologize for upsetting you, perhaps it could have waited, but yuma just reminded me. I'll be moving on, and once your done just set your cup somewhere. Somebody will bring it to us or I'll find it later." Vermillion bowed slightly before walking on his way to head back to his house.

Yuma came over; "Ready?"

"Well this street will bring us back around to the edge of town near Toole's place, and from there we head to the gateway. At the gateway we'll pick up a path and follow it to our last destination. I'll let first impressions describe it when we get there."

(some time passes)

Yuma walked down the moss covered steps, and into the main area where the brook emptied into the pool. 'This place was built around the time the gateway was, probably by the same people, or those who first inhabited this region. Now its a remote place that my brothers and sisters use to relax. This is the first time I've been in it since I was real little, but nothing has changed except the moss has grown and the stone is crumbled for in places." Yuma sat down on one of the benches.

Yuma looked up at Akuma; "So does that have some bearing on why you hate me so much?"

"Well is there something about me I can change that won't make me so annoying to be around?" Yuma stood up starting to pace, but came back to sit down on the bench again. "I would like to be a friend, but know there is the shadow of my mistakes looming. I feel slightly better knowing you don't hate me."

Yuma fell silent for a minute; "There is one more place I want to show you before we go back."

Yuma took Akuma back to her place, and bypassing the line outside the door to walk through the crowded bar to the door leading into the living side of building. Yuma wrinkled her nose at the smell of stain, but at the end of the short hall she stopped to take off her shoes. The hardwood floor ended at the end of the hall and the large reed mat took over. "You don't need to take your shoes off if you don't wish to." Yuma moved about the perimeter lighting the lamps. The living room was large and open to the kitchen which was two the left. The only separation between the two rooms was the fact the hardwood floor began again for the kitchen.

"What we came for lies upstairs."

"Well..." Yuma thought for moment on how to describe it without giving too much of it away before she actually seen it for herself. "I can't really describe it." Yuma slid the door open along the east wall, and the stairs were behind it, she walked up the stairs, and the top of the stairs was much like the living room except smaller with three doors.

She walked into the center door off this little area, and in it was hundreds of bladed weapons. Most were hanging on the walls, but a few were in old glass display cases. Yuma dug the dagger Kaos had bought for her and set it with the series in one of the glass cases. She summoned her swords and laid them on the top of the glass case.

"What I have brought you here to see has to be worn." Yuma walked into a closet and pulled out what would be used to hang armor on. The Kimono that was laid out on it complete with all the trim and undergarments, the pattern was a that of a night sky, and with a moon wrapping over the left shoulder. Smaller dots filled in the mid area on a diagonal from right shoulder diagonally down to the left. A few prominent constellations were noticible, On the bottom right soft bluegrass seemed bent in a unseen breeze, and a few dragonflies adorned the a few areas in semi bright colors.

"If your willing, I'd like for you to try this on, because it was made for you. I did the best i could for sizing by looking, but made it bigger in case my judgment was off."

"I'm not skilled enough to do the alterations, but I did add a few pockets inside to carry things inconspicuously. Scroll pocket on the left inside, and universal pocket on the right. Lower towards the hip is a straight blade six inch dagger slot on the left side. The wood sandals i made, and i made the hair pins." Yuma smiled; "Well if you ever make a social visit to Arynia or elsewhere its something to consider as a clothing choice." Yuma rested her left elbow on her right palm and her left hand rubbed her chin. "I think the pattern looks good on you, but if you close the closet door there is a full length mirror if you wish to get a better view from a distance."
