Welcome to Gaia! ::

Raquel took his hand in hers, letting Lorey and Richard lead the way. Though as they exited the ship, Raquel's eyes widened a bit more if that were possible, and she seemed unable o breath slightly, the fresh country air hurting her lungs just a bit, making her cough lightly. Though what told she was alright was her smile. She radiated as she took in the limited view they had from the docks, unable to move for awhile. "I-it's...like nothing I've ever seen..." She managed to croak quietly as she gripped his hand a bit tighter, trying not to tear up.

Richard smiled, letting the two behind him get a feel of Druis like they had when they had first arrived. He led Lorey down the ramp to greet Teagan who looked not as chipper as she had when he left. "Hey! There's our blooming florist! Let me introduce you to our friends- This is Damian Centurion, who's giving away Lorey, and Raquel, Who I think is Lorey's maid of honor..." He shrugged, remembering he never really learned Raquel's last name in all the time he had known her.

Raquel finally managed to snap out of her reverie, clearing her throat a little as she continued walking down with Damian, hearing there had been an introduction. She knew they'd have time alter to look around for themselves.
"Hi there, Teagan was it? You're so lucky to live in a wonderful place like this!" She exclaimed with a big smile, holding out her free hand to shake.


Richard meanwhile was nodding to the thought about the flowers. One less thing for him to worry over. Now he just had to call for a ride of some sort to get them and all there luggage to their home. "Now, Damian, We do have someone staying in our guest room at the moment...mother will be coming in and she'll be staying at a local bed and breakfast. Our friend can sleep on the couch, he wont mind in the least bit if you and Raquel want to have the guest room, but you're also welcome to stay in an inn. Its all up to you." He offered, mulling the options around in his head.

"You know I'm dying to see your house Lorey! We should just head right over." Raquel smiled, not admitting she wasn't feeling really up to eating. She was a bit light headed from the rush of clean air, and hoped it didn't show. She had been working on not being so sickly for Damian's sake, but she hadn't realized how far she needed to go until coming out here.

Though amidst her distractions, excitement, and health concerns, Raquel's eyes flashed. She could sense something was bothering this Teagan girl terribly, though she wasn't sure what. The handshake gave it away almsot immediately. She tried to ignore it though. She wasn't about to just blatantly ask her what was wrong. She hardly knew her for heavens sake.


Richard blushed a bit, looking away and rubbing the back of his neck, nodding. "Uh- alright then...um...Teagan, how bout you show them where the Inn is and let them drop off their things. Then we can all head off towards the house." He turned and whistled for Enty to get some of the luggage ready while he rented a speeder or some large vehicle for them all to fit.

Raquel joined in the chatter just a bit, but excused herself to help take their bags inside, knowing Damian couldn't carry much with his cane and wobbly leg. Though they were told a 'bellboy' of sorts would take their belongings up, so they figured they could just leave with the others.

Richard had meanwhile found a clean energy burning vehicle that they had for rent in the town, for tourists and other sorts. It was big enough to squeeze them all in, so Richard had them load up. "Ok you all ready? Lets head out!" He called cheerily as he go into the drivers side.

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

Richard drove them all into town, stopping at the hotel first to drop off Raquel and Damian. "You two get some rest, and feel free to go sightseeing tommorrow. There wont be anythign going on back at home. Just Lorey and I unpacking and getting settled." Richard explained as Raquel helped Damian out of the car.

"Ok, but if you need any help-" She still offered, though knew they needed to nest together. That and the idea of traveling around the sites of druis excited her greatly.

Once they hopped out, the two waved off Richard and Lorey, leaving them to their shopping. "So...time too see what makes this presidential suit so nice?" She asked with a small smile, still trying to be happy despite Nat's reappearence.

Raquel smiled warmly, shutting the door behind her as she looked about. "Its lovely..." She nodded, coming to sit next to him.

"Ah love.." She felt his knee and frowned. "Sit back here." She made him sit back on the bed, propping him up with pillows. "Its still a little hot in here, and I want a look at that leg." She explained, reaching to unfasten his pants. "So dont get any ideas." She smirked, giving him a seductive wink as she gently took his shoes off, so she could make him comfortable in his boxers.

Though she had to grimace when she saw his knee. "Damian-" She sighed. It had slight discoloration from over strainging it. She stood to fetch him some ice. "You should have gotten a room on the bottom floor. I honestly dont care if we're in a regular room or a king suite!" She sighed exasperated as she went through their bags as well, seeing if there was any pain medication in there.

It was almost humourous how much Raquel still worried over Damian, even though he had been stable and fine for a while now.

"I'll rest when your not in pain hm?" She leaned out the bathroom door, smiling to him, before disappearing again. She returned a moment later with an asprin and a little pack of ice made from a small towell. "Here..." She gently placed the pack on his knee, handing him the asprin with a little cup of water. "I suppose the extra oomph of sexiness comes with a price..." She couldn't help but smile solemnly as she twidled his cane, sitting herself next to him on the bed.
