Welcome to Gaia! ::

Farley's eyes lit up. Even if things didn't line up with Mina's sister as he'd hope it would, surely they would be more women along the way to try and meet up with. Farley didn't do so well with Uni women, for some reason they didn't feel the same way he felt about them. Perhaps a change was in order, he had to admit, he kinda like the pat she gave him.

Lorene frowned, she wasn't convinced about the armor. "I don't know, it still worries me."

"That armor is better protected than any amour you can ever think of." Eric said with a shrug. The others went wide eyed and all said "We believe you" unanimously.

"We're going on a raid tomorrow, there's a rock element scorpion that needs to be taken cared of, and if possible, go after thunder wyvern from years ago. Why don't you two come along? We can use the extra help. Get the gang back together."

"Oooh yeah, she's a keeper alright. I use dual swords too, but I can't do any of the fancy things yours and and the brothers can with their weapons" Said Farley, the brother learned to do that with mechanics, not magic, how were you to with a sword?

"I'm inclined to agree with Farley, welcome, Mina." Derrick put his hand on her shoulder. "Now that we're all friends here, lets go back inside. I'm sure there was something being discussed before the gunfire." He said as he pushed everyone back to the living room.

Lorene looked to Mina and lightly pulled her over. "I can't thank you enough for your help. I afraid to know what would have happened otherwise."

"You kinda shook the whole house with a stomp of your foot, you can be the world's scariest mother with that." She began to giggle. "Maybe that's what Eric sees in you, his mother is quite scary." She sat down, offer Mina a seat next to her.

"Oh dear, is she going to be able to get all of that armor off it time?" Asked Lorene, she wondered if she should ask Eric to help Mina. Her concerns were diminished once Eric mentioned Eca and Jill had thought of everything.

"We need to get ourselves armor like that."

"It's a possibility Farley, consider Mina as the prototype. If it works as well and as long as we need it to be, perhaps I can ask Ecalena to mass produce them somehow. The materials needed to make them aren't easy to find." Said Eric with a shrug. He turned to his brother, whom had left to get everyone some snacks as they chatted.

"Don't tell me she's run away from us."

"Not likely, her daughter on the other hand is quite...unique lets just say. If she wants to, she'll tell you everything."

"Oh just talking about your armor again. Farley wants one as much as I do, but yours is still a test run." Said Eric with a shrug. Lorene smiled back at Mina. "That's a wonderful name you picked out for your daughter, by the way. Did you pick it out yourself?"

"Actually, I kinda did Lorene, it was joke, but we Mina stuck with it. Mina did pick out the middle name for the child though." He said motioning to her, which made Lorene tilt her head. She was curious to know.

Lorene's whole face lit up when she was told that the child's middle name was hers. It she grinned wholeheartedly when Mina asked to to feel. "I would love to." She placed her hand on Mina's belly, feeling the kicks from the life inside her. "You forget sometimes how it feels to be the other person. Truth be told, I had done the same with my boy." She looked right at Eric. "I named him Elric, after name we had thought of together. So I'll be naming him Elric, in honor of your memory as well."

Eric turned red, he was surprised she still remembered that, they talked about it only once many years ago. His brother tapped him on the shoulder. "Don't even bother trying to stop her, I've tried to myself. Elric Darryl Cast. I hope you're happy." He said in jest, he gave him a small push to to him that he meant no ill will.

"I don't mind at all." She replied as she sat closer to Mina. Lorene wouldn't be able to lift her clothing since she was in a dress, "I'm not as big as you though, Unin's never do." She then looked at Eric with sad eyes. "Won't you too? It would mean a lot to me, believe me." Seeing her face like that, it got him to lean over and feel the child inside her.

"Huh, now I'm a father and an uncle, sheesh, he's named after me and i'm his only one. That means I have to be the favorite uncle by default." He smiled at first, then he lowered his head and sighed. "I'll have to remember his birthday and everything."

Eric chuckled and nodded his head. Though "How can I? That's a given, not that she'll ever let me forget that. I'm sure of that, and as for cousin, we'll just have to wait and see if things go that well with Farley and Lirria."

"Don't even joke about that, but Lirria is a nice name..." Said Farley, the teasing and the jokes just would not end.

Nina's movements eventually grabbed the attention of her sleepy cousin. He pushed against Mina, albiet in weaker fashion. "They aren't fighting, I'd say they like each other's company so far." Smiled Lorene, she kept close to Mina and whispered to her. "Say, there's something I wish to speak to you about in private, think we can talk about it later?"
