Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hearing footsteps pad along the ground, Ieyasu opened his eyes. Just before he looked over to see who it was, her question came abruptly. Eh? Who the hell? Glancing over in the direction of the voice, he saw a woman that he'd never seen before. Right. So, some woman just walks in here, stands there naked and accuses you of 'banging' her sister. So much for that quiet trip to the springs. Who did she think she was anyway?

"It would help if I knew who your sister was, or who you were, wouldn't it?" he replied dismissively. Oh no. She wasn't spoiling his dip, even if she was Nyxa's sister.

Osu paused for a moment as the new person walked in. He didn't know her! Leaving the plushie for the moment, he trotted over to Sydney, chirruping as he circled her inquisitively.

"Oh, I see. Obvious resemblance as in white hair and blue eyes? Then, based on that assumption, nice to meet you - I'm your long lost brother." There was a hint of mock politeness in his voice. Wow, this one was just the regular charmer, wasn't she? "And to answer your question, no I'm not. Thanks for such the warm greeting, by the way."

Sitting up slightly, he pointed over towards the other side of the screen. "Female side's over there. Enjoy yourself."


Osu continued to poke around Sydney's feet. Curiously, he nudged at her shin before backing off. He sat back on his haunches, tilting his head as he stared up at her. Would she be fun and play?

"At least it would have been better than accusing me of screwing your sister. She's old enough to make her own choices anyway about what she does. She's a big girl.

Besides, what exactly do you plan on doing to the one who's '******** your sister?'" He could take a fair guess at who was the culprit, if there was one. And neko hanyou or not, this wonderfully polite shapeshifter would have her work cut out for her.

Watching her form into a replica of Osusuki, Ieyasu frowned slightly, more out of faint concern to what she might do to Osu rather than anything else. If she acted towards everyone in the way that she'd acted towards him... well. And Osu was so trusting of everyone.

Osu gave a startled shriek as she became... him? How did she do that!? He wanted to know! Trumpeting shrilly, he raced around the duplicate of himself, inspecting Sydney from every possible angle. But.. how... what... she was a big person and now she was him! Dashing in towards her, he gave her another nudge; almost as if to test if she was 'real'.

Ok. Nope. Not happening. Normally, Ieyasu wouldn't have bothered about a female coming into the male side - he didn't make the rules, nor did he normally enforce rules. But this one was pissing him off. And running in circles to confuse him with Osu wasn't going to work.

Standing up, he waded through the water. Catching hold of the little woman-turned-furball, he waded a few more steps before lobbing her out of the water onto the ground towards the woman's side.

"I said woman's side is over there. Last I saw, you weren't a man, so go take cannonballs over there."

For a moment, Osu almost made to launch himself after her. Then Ieyasu caught hold of her. What was he doing to himself-that-wasn't-himself? She was nice, why was he doing that?? Chirruping, he splashed into the water, staying in the shallows and flapping his wings agitatedly. He was confused. What was going on??

Ieyasu grunted disgustedly as he climbed out of the pool. "You're not even house trained. A common house cat has better habits than you. That blood of yours is wasted on you." Judging by the shapeshifting, and the relation to Syrenrei, this one was at least half-youko. He headed over to the bathroom for a few moments, dousing himself with a few pails of water. Ew. Cat pee.

Heading back to the springs again, he stepped back into the water, with a quick glance over at Osu to see what he was doing. By this time, the gryphon was back out of the water again. He was torn between going back to his plushie toy, and going round the corner to see what happened to himself. Eventually, he headed over to the toy again, flopping down on top of it. He'd watch to see if his doppelganger came back.

Ieyasu settled back down into his sitting position again. He was beginning to wonder if it was possible to have a quiet visit to this place. First an argument with Sy, now one with her older sister.

Ieyasu gave a faint snort. "You'll be lucky. If it's who I think it probably is, then you've got no chance of managing that. Hell, I'd have no chance of managing to do that, even if I wanted to."

He leaned back again, clasping his hands behind his head and closing his eyes once more. At least she hadn't come charging back around to this side in a temper.

Ieyasu abruptly burst out laughing "Oh really?" It wasn't hard to guess who she was talking about this time either. He hadn't really counted on Nyxa discussing "sizes". Although, given what he'd seen of her out-going nature, he wasn't really all that surprised when it came to it. Idly, he wondered exactly what she had said.

"And yeah, I did, if you -really- want to know. But I'd best be off."

He reached over for his towel as he stood up, pulling it around him as he stepped out of the spring. Towelling himself dry, he then pulled on his shorts, before glancing over at the barrier screening off the woman's side.

"If you're sticking around for a bit, then I'll probably see you again. Just try not to piss on me next time, alright? Later."

Looking towards Osu, who now had a rather soggy plushie, he grinned. "Come on you. Let's go. We'll need to dry that out now - you've gotten it dripping wet."

Chirping, Osu rose to his feet. Splaying his wings, he moved to drag the large plushie after Ieyasu... only it was much heavier now. Much harder to pull. Tugging hard at its hair, he shifted it along the ground a little. He wasn't going to be able to manage this now. Sitting back on his haunches for a moment, he trumpeted at Ieyasu, trying to catch his attention. He needed help!

As Osu called out, Ieyasu moved back over. He had seen the little gryphon struggle with the sodden plushie. Smiling, he leaned down to pick it up for Osu. "Fine, ok. I'll take it then."

Chirruping cheerfully, Osu pranced about Ieyasu's feet. Flapping his wings energetically, he bounced about before bounding over to the door. Pausing in the doorway, he looked back, expecting Ieyasu to follow. Come on, hurry up then!

Shaking his head in amusement, Ieyasu followed after the Aerandir, leaving a little trail of water drops from the soaked plushie as he walked.
