Welcome to Gaia! ::

He appeared in the Hot Springs area ina flash of flames, right outside the entrance. Shrugging his shoulders, he walked inside. He was then guided to, by the people who worked there, to the male's side. He took his towel and went into the changing room. Burning a rune into the corner of the towel, he wrapped it around his waist as blue flames erupted around his entire body as he walked to the entrance of the spring. When he walked outside, his clothes were all gone, as were his carried possesions. He then walked down into the warm liquid, enjoying the bubble around him, which showed his body heat begining to boil the water around him, but not to a full boil, or a slight foam even. Just enough to relax his muscles.Putting his head back, he looked at the sun, contemplating the new people he met today, glad that he did. He smiled as he began to drowse off again.

Kana's attention was grabbed by a male who entered encased in what looked like flames. Her eyes widened as she stared openly, not even realizing she was. She watched in awe as he got into the water, causing that around him to boil lightly. She blinked, then suddenly realized she was staring and looked away quickly.

Kana glanced back at Suki, shaking her head. "B-bath?" she echoed uncertainly. "What are you talking about?" She shifted uncomfortably, this girl making her feel slightly nervous. Kana held the towel a little tighter around herself, watching Suki through faintly narrowed eyes. She blinked as she asked about her abilities, then shook her head. "Um, I... don't really want to say," she said softly. She hadn't told anyone other than her mother about what she could do, and she wasn't about to just tell a total stranger. Besides, she wasn't that proud of her ability anyway, and wasn't too good at controlling it.

Kana shook her head, growing slightly annoyed as her ears flattened against her head. She wondered why Suki was pressuring her so much into telling. "Th-that's cool, but... No, I'd really rather not tell you..." she murmured, looking away. And why are you sniffing me? She shifted slightly, scooting a bit away. Then she glanced back at Tam as Suki suddenly brought him into it. She blinked in confusion. "Why... would I need to impress him? I'd like to be friends without having to first impress the person." She glanced at the male, wondering if was the type that needed to be impressed first, but that didn't seem right. They'd been talking just fine before, hadn't they? Though, his question really had thrown her off.

Kana blinked as the girl rolled her eyes. I should be the annoyed one, being pestered like this, she thought to herself, ears still flattened. Kana closed her eyes and bowed her head. "I'm sorry, but I don't really care if you want to know because I'm still not telling. Are you the type of person who's used to getting whatever you want?" It was almost a painful subject for Kana to talk about, as it made her recal several times she'd been picked on or beaten up simply because she'd done something accidentally with her power and messed something up.

She wasn't amazed by the bit of fire Suki produced like she usually would have been. She just breathed deeply, trying to calm herself and also trying to find a memory that would help. She recalled her mother telling her how special her gift was and saying that she should learn to control it well and help people. How can I do that...? Her hands clenched slightly under the water, ears flattening slightly further.

Kana blinked in surprise as Suki suddenly left and then breathed out in relief. She glanced at Tam and Kumizu, embarassed at letting them see her become irritated. "I'm sorry..." she apologized faintly, ears drooping now as she sank to her nose in the water.

Kana turned towards Kumizu, blinking in surprise. He didn't see...? Oh, I'm so glad! She emerged from the water to her neck, still wearing her towel as she laughed at his comment, trying to bring her mood up again. "Hush," she scolded, pretending to be offended. "I did not!" Then she laughed, shaking her head. "Actually, I fell in..." She tilted her head, blushing faintly in embarassment.

Then she glanced back at Tam. Too bad he hadn't been asleep as well. Kana hated being angry or irritated, but that Suki girl kept pressuring her only because she had the selfish urge to find out about Kana's abilities, and that really annoyed her. She didn't even seem to realize how much her pushing had been bothering Kana, or that it'd brought up bad memories for her.

Kana closed her eyes a second, shaking her head as she smiled back at Kumizu. She was at a hotspring, a place she'd gone for the specific reason to relax. There was no way she'd keep letting herself get so stressed out while here.

Kietaru watched from her distance as some girl seemed to be pestering that nice cat girl that had been in the hotsprings as long as she had. I'm going to go see what the hell is going on. But before she could be of any help, the girl disappeared. Strange, I wonder how she did that. Oh well, might as well see if the other one is ok. Kietaru swam up towards the other girl and began speaking just as she got close. "Hey, I don't mean to be rude and but into your personal buisness. But was that girl troubling you?" She didn't want to press into a private matter but that lady from before seemed to be deeply annoying that girl and acts of rudeness never got by Kietaru.

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

Shojuto watched as his sister began swimming towards some cat girl, probably ready to inquire her about the little quarrel her and that other girl had before. He began swimming after her. Damnit Kietaru why must you always do this crap? He stayed just behind her as she began talking to the girl and almost just after her inqury, began talking himself. "Now Kietaru I know how you feel about people who pester but we barely know this girl. You haven't even asked her name and you're already prying into her buisness."

[I am so sorry for being so slow! ><;;]

Kana grinned as Kumizu laughed and tilted her head as he swam over. Her hands automatically came up to adjust the towel more carefully over herself. "It can't be a bad thing?" she echoed curiously and then grinned. "What about tsunamis?" she asked, sticking her tongue out. "Or floods?" She shivered slightly dispite herself at the thoughts, and then closed her eyes, shaking her head with a laugh. Her eyes widened as his last comment, and her face flushed red. "Ar-are you...?" she began, suddenly realizing but not making any move to look down at him. She knew she had no clothing underneath, but at least she'd kept her towel on. I really need a bathing suit! she told herself again nervously.

Kana blinked as another girl swam towards her, and then smiled softly, almost thankfully. "No, I'm fine," she murmured, not wanting this girl to worry about her. Kana's ear twitched and she glanced towards another male who'd followed after the first. "Eh?" she blinked, then shook her head. "It's alright!" she cried hastily. "My name's Kana!"

She glanced back at Kumizu as he asked about it as well, and felt her ears droop slightly. "Um, nothing really..." she lied, bowing her head. "She just wanted to know what my abilities are, but I wouldn't tell her so she kept insisting. It's fine, really. No need to worry..."

Kietaru looked at the girl, almost as if examining her, then smiled. "Well, my name is Kietaru." She looked over at her brother then dunked him in the water slightly while noogying him and laughing. "And this little slugger is my younger brother Shojuto." After she finished tormenting him for the few embarrassing seconds she held out her hand to shake Kana's "It's very nice to meet you, and you just let me know if that girl comes around again and I'll back you up!" Kietaru then giggled again at the aspect. "Not like I'd be much help though, but I try." She smiled hoping she wasn't being overly protective, expecially since she'd just met this girl.

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

Shojuto was slightly embarrassed and confused when Kietaru finished dunking and noogying him, this wasn't like her, she wasn't so hyper like this. It was the people, he knew it, something about them made her act different. He liked it, somewhat. When he finished spiting water out of his mouth he began speaking again. "Kietaru we're twins! And it's I who is older not you! I was the one born three seconds before, how many times to we have to go over this!" He considered Kietaru's next words, she seemed a little over protective to him, and to someone they'd just met, but he went along with it. "Ya that girl did seem a little annoying to me." He said while rolling his eyes.
