Welcome to Gaia! ::

'If I did catch one I do not think that I could kill it myself though. I would like to come back here, that is if you do not mind. I just seem a bit restless today.' She smiled up to him.

[It's ok I was gonna say the same]


She went back with him holding his hand tightly so she could keep up. 'I think that this will be fun.' Zahar smiled up at him.

Fauve stopped walking and slowed down... 'I... Kasai, I want to ask you something, do you think I'm different since I grew? I mean.. am I meaner somehow? Merci and I don't seem to talk anymore and I can't figure out what happened....'

Uriel trips and falls over, rolling on his back his eyes get wide as the other hatchi hops right on his stomach. Uriel oofs and tries to grab Zeke, but the little one is far to quick for him.. he lays there a few second trying to catch his breath before he rolls over and scrambles after the little angel.

Merci settled down in the living room and kicked her legs up on the couch... she really meant to thing of something else to do, but ended up sleeping peacefully.

That was better. Full, G_E placed her dirty plate in the sink. Feeling wonderful after sleep and food she put the empty carrot bag in the garbage, wondering who'd been hungry enough to eat the entire thing.

Shrugging, she stretched again and wandered into the living room, inteding to it and relxax for awhile.

Her eyes widened when she saw him. Her little boy... uh... Her young man. She stared at his masked face and then looked down at his feet that were sticking out from underneathe the blanket, hanging over the end of the couch.

Jeepers... he was tall. When had this happened? She blinked and poked his shoulder. Should she wake him? Was it safe?

Maybe she should just let him wake up on his own...

Nika lay still as Gee stared at him. He'd been awake ever since his chosen had walked passed him and into the kitchen. Too relaxed and comfortable to get up, he'd stayed where he was.

For once everything seemed peaceful. It was almost frightening how quiet it was.

When she poked his shoulder he didn't move, only waited to see what Gee would do.

A few moments passed and nothing had changed. The peaceful silence seemed to carry on forever and he hated to interupt it but he couldn't help it...

'Gee?' It was a whisper. Nika opened one eye and looked up at her curiously.

G_E blinked when Nika spoke to her. She examined his expression, searching his eyes. Suddenly she smiled. He was still Nika. Her boy.

"You're taller than me now," she sat down on the closest chair.

'I am.' he agreed, slowly sitting up.

((Wow a lots happened since you posted this....))

Aricin was so startled by her quick wit and he grinned broadly without trying to conceal it... "Why Lady Kataio..... are you teasing me? Mocking my lineage?" His brittish accent is much more pronounced... then switching to his customary tones, "You're right it does seem pretty close to perfect, I found cleaning goodies and a couple of boxes that I didn't bother looking in. Being Mid-day, we should have just about enough time to at least drop notes on everyone's door soliciting contributions, salvage what we can for storage and maybe fetch a volunteer or two to give the place a scrub down... and I'd be willing to bet it could be a functional clinic in about a week. I have a few boxes of things that I can donate.. If we haven't already salvaged them to death. Where should we start?"

(Not mention earlier for lack of online time... I'm gonna sum up, just so theres no huge jump.)

Trivii and Sani left Merci and Fauve's to head back to the house and get a start on decorating Sani's room. In the process the dug out all the boxes and crates that Trivii and Aricin had yet to unpack in search of appropriate linens, some shelves, and a few other goodies, leaving the majority of the crates littering the living room floor the hauled Trivii's hope chest up stairs and began to decorate... Trivii has a nice collection of some beautiful linens, trinkets, crystal pendulums and colorful small glass bottles that smelled of an array of scents. While decorating most of the morning crept passed into early afternoon.

(Present time)

Trivii was standing in front of the stove (portable propane veriaty if the houses aren't equpped yet...) waiting for the kettle to whistle, watching as Sani followed her directions, in measuring the loose tea into the tea pot.

Saniya looked up at Trivii after carefully ladeling the tea into the pot...'You seam so anti-domestic... if you don't mind my asking, where did you learn... I mean why do you show so care for detail? Not that I don't appreciate it..' She was a little put off by how to phrase her question and just ended up gazing at Trivii with wide aqua eyes silently imploring her to understand the querry without being offended.

Trivii lifted the kettle just as it started to whistle, and poured the water over the tea, puting the lid back in place so it could steap. She carefully placed the kettle where it could cool safely and shutting off the stove she turned back to her daughter... Giving her a warm hug... "Domestic duties were part of my youth.. You could say that I was a ladies maid, until I was old enough to be a chatelain... after that... well after about a year as a chatelain I left... or fled that life really."

'A chatelain is like a hostess... or a social planner right? Wouldn't that also mean that you were married?'

Trivii blinked... man the girl was smart... "Usually it would mean that I was married to a wealthy man with important obligations... however, in my case his wife just shrugged them off onto me. So chatelain became my occupation." Glancing at the clock Trivii sighed... "Can you stay here while I go tell Aricin that the tea is ready? When he gets back I'm sure that we can compare notes on last night."

Sani nodded... her guardian had just given her a lot to think about, filing it away carefully in the back of her mind to pick appart later...

Smiling Trivii slipped out the door to go find her housemate, moving as quick as she could. Trivii covered a lot of ground looking for the Brit, finally hearing him talking to somebody in a house near the center of town, that she had thought to be un occupied....

(Cue.. Kata and Aricin, Trivii has joined the group... I really want Sani to meet the other Masques...)

Kataio grabbed some rags then turned to the door hearing someone come in she turn. "Oh, hello. I remember you. Trivii right?" She held up the rags and cleaner. "Aricin and I were about to clean house so to speak. We are going to make this place a clinic. Wanna help?" She felt really sociable today for no real reason, maybe it would stick?
