Welcome to Gaia! ::

While he was thinking nice activity to do together, Eir was mentally making plans for the things that she would have to do in order to prepare leaving. She always felt like such a burden to the kind farmer, and she loved him dearly, but she couldn't impose on him anymore. It just wasn't right! A sad sigh escaped her but she quickly shook her head and started laughing, hoping he didn't catch it. "Come on! Let us finish grabbing food and go watch the lovers try to dance!" She didn't want him to think that she was sad in anyway. She just couldn't!

Yvar thought he heard a sigh, but she started laughing a moment later, so he let it slide. "Alright, alright." Chuckling, he led her over to a table where they could enjoy their food and watch the dancing couples. Maybe he could convince her to dance with him later...



Ca Thu Thi blinked, a smile forming on her face. "I'd like that," she wrote. As an afterthought, she added, "If you don't mind." With Paimon helping, she'd be less likely to get lost in these unfamiliar northern lands. And unlike most stallions she'd met, she enjoyed his company.

Mei had thought being swept of her feet was only a figure of speech. At least that was before she met this man. He was so firm and yet so gentle with her. It was easy for her to fall in step with him. She may have stepped on his feet once or twice but soon enough she felt comfortable enough with him to let him lead and she would follow comfortably. She was certain she closed her eyes she would know exactly what it was like to be dancing with a loved one, but that really wouldn’t be fair to the man dancing in front of her. Besides she had no man in her life so who would she dream of anyway? It was nice just to be here and to feel comfortable. In the back of her mind she could hear Xela agreeing with her mental thoughts and Mei giggled. She looked at her dance partner and tried to explain. “My bonded, Xela the mare you met before with me is suggesting you’re a ‘catch’ and I shouldn’t let you go after just one dance.” She winked at him. “I told her I’d think about it. After all I think maybe four of five good dances would make a good catch.” Her gray eyes sparkled wondering what Cameron thought about it.


Daehisie shook her head feeling a bit sad she really had no idea what Minos was talking about. Still he seemed to be complimenting her and he would know more about the garments than she. She did however understand the compliments to her self rather than garments with his last words. She looked up him from through her black bangs. Her silver eyes were full of innocence and kindness. “Thank you.” To her Minos was magical. He seemed to glow and tease making her want to closer when he didn’t even move a muscle at all. It was odd. Her tail flipped at het very end while she closed her eyes thinking. Her did have magic in it, but it was not something Daehisie could harness. If it was in her it was a spot she couldn’t reach. Perhaps it had to do with the fact she wasn’t from the older branch the herd. “You may be feeling more than I.” Her eyes stayed shut and she just let the noise of the party wash over her.

Yvar had taken a bite of one of the treats, rendering him unable to comment on Eir's possibly rhetorical statement. He nodded, to her question, swallowing before asking one of his own. "Are you enjoying yourself?" She seemed a little... sad. Not anything like her previous depression, but a little upset at least.



Ca Thu Thi blushed, hoping her darker coat hid it from her companion. "Thank you," she wrote. "But you don't have to call me 'Miss.' Just Ca is fine."

"Why indeed?" Manga approached the red-head, not looking at him as she came to a stop by him. Her gaze was fixed on the sketchbook in her hands, charcoal lines quickly becoming dancers. She was void of her usual overcoat. She was still in all-black clothing, however; an elegant, long-sleeved shirt hid everything up to her wrists, and her sleek dress pants were tucked neatly into the tops of her boots. Her mask was still settled on her face, but her hat was gone, allowing her long, dark hair to fall around the cape hanging from her shoulders. The only piece of flesh visible besides the lower half of her face was her drawing hand, void of its usual black glove. If one could keep up with the swift strokes, one could see the network of scars stretching across her skin. "I was wondering the same thing myself. But then I reminded myself that these parties don't happen all too often... I would hate to lose the opportunity to document an event like this." She was quiet for a few moments, finishing her sketch before speaking again. "I doubt your reason's the same as mine, and I don't know you well enough to answer that question for you."

(( I don't know where this paragraph came from, but... eh, whatever. ))

Zephri: "This is the Capra I was telling you about! Isn't she so cool? She's been my best friend since forever." he says while he starts dancing again. "Do you see what he's taught me Laila? He's from a gypsy troupe! He gets to travel a lot!"

Laila: "Hahaha catch your breath Zeph! Your getting yourself to excited." she says calmly clearly accustomed to his hyperness. Turning she turns to Kev "How exciting to get to travel, it seems you've sparked his wander lust. he can be quite hard to find in the mountains when he gets an itch to romp around" She begins dancing by the two after the invite "I would love to dance" she says dancing with a similar but more advance dance than Zephris.

*Sorry i took so long to respond i forgot XD

Kev nodded with enthusiasm looking between his new found friends. Grinning at the excited Zephri he stomped his hooves gently himself chuckling. "Yes Laila is very cool. Again I'm honored to meet you and I hope someday in my travels I will meet more capra's. I think it's wonderful to see unique creatures." It would be a great thing for him to look forward to.

Looking on with approval at the moves Laila was dancing he quickly fell into step moving his body fluidly and grace, sensual and elegant all wrapped up into one. "That sounds like me when I romp around in the woods. I'm a foal at heart sometimes" He teased giving a gently nudge to Laila.

Yvar smiled at her joy, though it lessened as she expressed her thoughts of leaving. It turned into a frown as he spotted her tears. "Eir, I--"

"Yvar!"

Yvar blinked, surprised to see Mico running towards them. He got to his feet, patting the gasping stallion's neck. "What's the matter, Mico?"

"You... forgot... your... bag," he panted, said bag slung around his neck. "I thought... you'd be in trouble... without it, so..."

Surprise and relief flooded his features as he removed the bag from its deliverer. "That I would be. Thank you, Mico. Since you're already here, why don't you stay and enjoy yourself?"

"Once I... catch my breath... sure..."

Yvar smiled, turning back to Eir. He walked around to her other side that was free of chairs, kneeling by her and covering her hands with one of his. "Eir, you have never been a burden to me. You are always welcome with me and you have done more for me than you realize. In fact..." He removed his hand from hers, reaching into the bag Mico had brought. When it came out, there was a little box in his palm. He flipped it open, revealing the simple but beautiful ring inside. "I would be honored if you would accept this." Yvar lifted his gaze to meet the healer's. "Eir, would you marry me?"

Nodding to his question she kept right on smiling. When his breath touched her ear she closed her eyes and glided along with his touch. Her breath came out as a contented sigh. “I don’t mind keeping you at all Sir Cameron, though I do have something to tell you.” She leaned her head close to his ear. “I am no lady. I work for Lady Dea one of the King’s advisors. So please call me Mei.” With that said she continued to let him twirl her around and dance the evening away. Though after a time she found her feet arguing with her shoes and her throat was starting to feel dry. Still she didn’t want to stop dancing with Cameron. He was strong and graceful, gentle and firm. It was amazing and exhilarating. She could hear Xela in the back of her mind playing and having fun herself, but for the first time since their bond, the lovely mare was not in the foremost of Mei’s thoughts. A part of Mei wanted to find out more about Cameron and wondered what he was like and what he did. She squeezed his hand gently. “What do you do? If you don’t mind me asking?” She wanted to place her head on his chest and listen to the sound of his heart, but didn’t think that would be appropriated since she had just met him. For now she just would settle for listening to his roughish voice.


She had been going to reply when she felt his breath on her ear. Instinctively they folded back and she made a small little noise. As he moved aside her bangs her silver eyes found his red ones and she found herself lost looking into Mino’s gaze. Her heart sped up and she moved forward a bit gently without meaning and her muzzle grazed his. It was a brief tender contact but it was more than she had shared with any other save family. She could feel his breath on her coat. “Thank you.” His words were so kind and interesting. She had never been so lathered in praise in all her life. It was foreign to her. She had no defense to it, nor did she have any idea what to expect from Minos. To her he was a gentle soul who somehow managed to catch her eye. She pulled back so the contact between the two was broken. It had been forward in her mind, but for all she knew he had a mate and loving family waiting for him.
