Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sirius looked to Kane with a warm, greeting smile, "Nice to meet you Kane." He looked at Kane's bell and became curious. "No, there are no sisters inside the bells. They're just bells that jingle and make pretty noises." He smiled knowingly at the other, not truly understanding the rina's confusion, and still ignorant of the fact that the bells could house other souls within them.

The mostly black rina lower her head with the red rina Kane, answer. She shook her head and smiled again at him. It was ok that he didn't know, heck she knew so little so what was the big deal. "Not Mrow Kane." She said happily letting him know it was ok, and she picked up the words too.

Soxs turned her head back to the blue boy "Hurt? Help?" They where new ones and again just as always the words flew right over her head. Head tilted to the side looking at his mouth as her talked. "Hungry!" She shook her head happily knowing what that word was. "Belly..grr...hungry!" She smiled proud of her self. The swaying of the sparkly tail was kicking her instincts in gear, she play fully leapt at his tail.

Kane smiled brightly at the black rina, glad to know she wasn't utterly dissapointed in him for not know the answer. He smiled even more when she used the words he had taught her not to long ago.

Kane's face fell a little bit when Sirius claimed they only had ordinary bells. He had thought for sure that their bells were like his, holding a dear one that wasn't able to grow yet. He pawed softly at blade a grass wondering if he should explain further why he had thought such at thing, but it wasn't his secret alone to share. "Want to tell bout you Cassy?"

His own growl match the one his friend's had issued ealier. The thought of eating fish made his realize just how hungry he was. Their parents had gone away before even getting to teach the twins to fish. "Sirius...teach?" Kane strolled to the stream to peer in. One day he would have to learn, so he could teach Cassy.

Sirius motioned for all the young ones to follow him as he walked up to the side of the stream. "Ok, everyone watch carefully. You have to watch the fish and wait for one to get really close. Then when they slow down, you snap your paws out really quick with your claws and grab at them."

His ears twitched as he watched, waiting for a fish to swim close enough. Realizing he was able to listen to the thoughts of the bell, he blinked. I'm not a bell... Who are you? Why can I hear you?

Astraeus smiled brightly, listening to his uncle, despite knowing how to fish already. He was just not as good at it as his mother and uncle. He sat by the edge of the water and waited as well. He felt so proud of himself as the second oldest taestysia in the group he decided to try fishing out a fish for the rinas. He found a fairly small fish he thought he could handle and took a swipe at it with his paw.

The fish came out of the water dangling precariously on a deep gouge in its side fin made from Astraeus' claws.

Jaya was even more confused. So she asked him another question. "I.. bell?" she fell silent not sure she was even a bell, having no clue what so ever how to explain why he could hear her. "Warm.." came her quiet reply. "No bell.. warm. I bell.. cold?" She mulled the thoughts in her head trying to make sense.

Sirius smiled brightly at Astraeus, though his mind was distracted by the quiet murmurings of Jaya inside of her bell. He was quite puzzled, he heard a soft voice, inside his head, but no one was speaking around him... He spoke to the bell again, Yes, you are a bell. What is your name?


Astraeus grinned and gave a great heavy push against the fish to make it flop onto land nearby one of the rinas. His ears twitched hearing Nyx again, We're fishing! he thought brightly. He stuck his claws into the fish once more to make sure it stopped flopping about. Pushing the fish towards the nearest rina with his nose, he smiled at the group. "Eat, it's good. It's fish to make your tummies full." He smiled up at his uncle, "Uncle Sirius says one fish should be ok for you guys to share, but if you want more we can get more." He showed them how to make their claws come out to cut the fish.

Sirius snapped out of his daydream and turned to the little ones, realizing he should teach them what parts not to eat. He carefully lifted a bit of the meat to show them the bones. "Astraeus, good job. But, look here, these are bones, they are hard and you shouldn't eat them. They can hurt your mouth and your tummies."

((Hey Crystal can you use another color for Choco? The dark red and brown look alot alike and being in bold, others will mistake it for Cassy. Try a lighter brown maybe?)

Jaya pondered this idea of being a bell. Other then the lack of seeing and moving on her own, it wasn't a terrible thing to be. ".... Jaya?" she questioned, having heard a voice mention the name before she ended up in the stream. Whether it was actually hers or not was unknown. It was pretty and she liked it. "I bell.. I Jaya" she giggled to herself.

She went silent listening to the bits of conversation about fish, curious what it was being done and what would hurt tummies.

Kane chuckled a little as Cassy told him to tell the others of her presences, not wanting to be called just an average bell. "My bell...has sister. Bell is just bell." He poofed out his chest proudly showing off his twin's bell in all it's glory.

The rina listened, having moved to stand by the black female, to Sirius tell how to catch a fish then watched as the one called Astraeus plucked a small fish from the water. "Wow...fish!" Kane flexed his claws watching them extend and retract like Astraeus showed. As much as he wanted to pounce on the fish and start eating he sat back to let the black rina have a the first chance to taste. He nodded his head at Sirius as he told them about bones. "Bones bad."

----------------------------------------

Nyx flinched at the bright tone in the boy's voice. "Man I sure got stuck with a chipper one." She thought and listened in on the teaching session. It had been so long since the taestysia had the taste of fish in her mouth. She rather missed taste and fishing.
