Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cia stirred from her deep slumber til she finally opened her eyes. Everything was blurry for a moment, but her eyes soon became focused. She shivered slightly and looked down at herself. She was still faintly wrapped in her towel. Cia peered around the room and began to get the picture of what happened. Her face flushed for a moment at the thought of being carried without much of the way of clothing on. "Cia, are you feeling alright?" She heard her sister ask. Cia nodded. She got up, got into some loose clothes, and exited the room. She wondered into the living room and found Ace asleep on the sofa. Cia couldn't help but stare at him for a moment. She walked over to him and placed a blanket ontop. She smiled. "You really are trouble...but you're also loyal...Ace.."she murmured softly.

Cia turned away from where Ace slept and turned off the lights. She headed down the halls and into the kitchen to take care of the serloin. It was a little over-done, but it was still very edible. She took off the burnt edges and began fixing the rest of everyones plates.

Tohru awoke to the morning light. Unlike Ace, she embraced the sun with a bright smile. "It's really nice, I hope it stays like this for a while," she murmured softly. Stretching her arms, she crawled out of bed and slipped on a pair f brown house shoes. Looking over at the clock hanging over her bed, she estimated how long she had before it was time to leave for work. "I've got about a hour and a half," Tohru said to herself. Changing into her work clothes, which consisted of a red velvet dress, brown stockings, and black boots, she headed toward the kitchen.

"Morning Ace-san!" Tohru called from within the kitchen. It smelled like pancakes and eggs. Well, burnt eggs.

Tohru peeked out from behind the corner and stared blankly at Ace. "Fine fine, I'll give you 30 more minutes alright? After that, I need to take you to my job. Weren't you asking before where I worked?" she asked. Tohru smiled blissfully as she returned to the kitchen. Everything was now prepared for breakfest. Aside from the slightly charred eggs, the meal looked pretty good. "Thank goodness...everythings ediable this time" she murmured.

"I know your tired, otherwise you wouldn't be complaining now would ya? Whenever there's time, yes I would appreciate it. Cia and many others can't stand my cooking...I hope that it's not horrid this time..."Tohru replied. The last sentence contained a tone of worry. Last time she cooked for someone, the person got food poisoning because the meat was still raw. Due to Tohru being a dragon, her taste in food is very different to a humans taste. "Sorry for the noise, but it's rather smokey in here," she stated in warning. A faint sound emitted from the kitchen. It kind of sounded like a vacuum, but it was really the air vent on top of the stove. "Whenever you're ready Ace, foods ready," she called over the vent. It was quite clear that Tohru was the type of roommate who always was loud in the morning. Sometimes, she's noisy even when it wasn't intentional.

"You're welcome. You don't need to lie if it's that horrid. If you are unable to eat it, there's stuff in the fridge," Tohru muttered. She tried the pancakes in which she had used the pan spray too much. The pancakes had soaked the pan spray up. She made a weird face about it and soon tossed it into the trash can. "Ooh!" she groaned in aggravation. "Why can't any of the text be bigger or in a language I can read? If it weren't hard to read it than my food wouldn't taste like crap!" she grumbled. Tohru peered up at the clock once more and figured it was almost time to leave. It took about forty minutes to get to her job since she didn't own a car.

(( Sorry I haven't been on.. What Have I missed? X.X ))

(Don't worry about it. smile You must've been busy and that's ok. Cia showed Val and Ace her hot spring bath yesterday evening. Upon request, Ace went to the hot spring and Cia soon joined him. However, she placed a curtain in between the spring and stated one side was hers and the other was Ace's and Vals.

Cia argued somewhat with Ace than by accident fell unconscious from being in the hot spring for too long. Ace managed to carry her to a bed after hearing what happened from Tohru. A new day has started, and Tohru is the person awake and speaking. She's decided to take Ace and Val to her work after breakfest.

Tohru and Ace are in the kitchen. You can pick up anywhere if you like.)

Tohru grinned, "We're going to walk! It's not that far, and it's a good way for you to wake up. Plus, exercising is better for the body." "You are just saying that 'cause you're broke," Cia remarked within Tohru's mind. On the outside, Tohru flushed a bit and smiled nervously. "It's about a...thirty minute walk?" she murmured. "You do realize that's a half hour walk, right? If he collapses out of exhaust, you're carrying him," Cia stated. "Lay off Cia!" Tohru blurted out for Ace to hear. Realizing the outburst, she cupped her hands over her mouth. "S-sorry.."

Valentine woke up slowly, groggily. He yawned gently, slowly sitting up. He rubbed his eyes gently while slowly getting up to go to breakfast. He went down from the upstairs room slowly, quickly eating. "Hey.. How long have I been out?" Valentine asked, quickly eating. He remembered little, other than basically fall unconscious, then waking up what seemed several days later. He yawned once more, stretching as he looked between the two.
