Welcome to Gaia! ::

*It would take a few seconds, but the boy would raise the cup again and take another long sip. Sho could be proud of his tea making ability, and apparently pleasing the boy for now. Fried rice and green tea, perhaps the normal sit down meal if ever Micha visited again, or maybe Sho would try something else out on the boy. Surely Sho ate more than just fried rice afterall, though still uncertain of Zio and the technology based citadel, there were pleanty of ingredience for any meal Sho could surmise. Micha's second sip completed, the cup as almost empty*

Micha: . . .

*Eecheb stops with his paint plucking about a minute later, then sets Fenton down and gives the fur ball a quick look over. Eecheb's statment to the whomper would be just that, a statment, and an undenyable fact. If Fenton was to go back to the way he was before then he'd need that bath*

Eecheb: .__. That's all the stuff I can get off of you.

*For now it seemed that Trilla was just going to hide in the bathroom until she felt it safe to leave again. Since that might take a while, Proto would just have to wait and see. For now only light sniffling and hiccups are heard from the bathroom; if it wasn't one monster then it was another. No doubt Trilla was wondering where Zeph was durring all of this, but it seemed he was nowhere in the citadel for now, though Trilla probably wasn't aware of it*

Trilla: ....... *hic* ........

*Nana closed both of her eyes, shook her head lightly, then looked back up at Mastema. There was a slight shine in Nana's eyes when she looked back up, like the first time she let her eyes do the smiling for her. It appeared that Nana had decided not to stay in a stupore, what good would it have done right? It was time to move on, pick up her feet, and get moving on again*

^__^

No. Nothing at all.

*Since Micha was particular about doing certain things, within the sight of others it was hard to say if he would pour more tea into the cup he had. For the moment he would let the kettle stand on its own, it seemed Micha was all right for the moment. If the child did have more tea then Sho would probably consider the dinning experience with his nephew a success. First the chopsticks, and then the tea, not to mention the painting session with Trilla, Micha was certainly experiencing new things today*

Micha: . . .

*Fenton seemed to enjoy the fact that it was more or less clean again, Eecheb was looking back at his finger tips which were covered in the paint now. He was probably going to be in a lot of trouble, or so he thought. The tips of Eecheb's wings flex lightly, and his tail swings idly back and forth as the boy was in thought*

Eecheb: .__. hmm.

*Trilla's staggered breathing was probalby easy for Proto to detect, Fenton had given her a good scare so it would likely take the child a few minutes to calm down, now that she was in a familiar surrounding again. That event alone would probably deture Trilla from going back to the ruins again until she was older, if not deture her from them entirely*

Trilla: Hnn...

*Nana would have to turn slightly when kissed, lest her lips and Mastema's miss eachother entirely. It was much appriciated, and probably needed at the time aswell. Things were completely quiet in the citadel for a change, and it was a nice break to have. With almost everyone gone, the scene was very relaxing, and allowed for more intimate moments such as this, plus no one was attacking them, bliss*

heart

*Again? Indeed it was impossible to tell if Micha could rememeber Sho at all, their first encounter had been a brief one. If anything Sho did seem to think things went well and that was something at least. In the future, if all their meetings were like this one, it wouldn't be surprising if Micha started paying regular visits to his uncle*

Micha: . . .

*After a few seconds, Eecheb did notice Fenton again, and saw the thing staring at him. Now what did it want? The stare bugged Eecheb somewhat, so the boy makes a face, one might desctibe as "What's your problem?", and waited for some sort of response from the small creature*

Eecheb: e_e

*Trilla was sitting on the floor in the bathroom, her right hand was covered in wine and black colored paint. The child was slowly settling, but at the same time a mess, she wouldn't really say anything while alone in the room, although there is a sound, a slight surprise maybe, it too vanishes quickly and Trilla seems to start calming again*

Trilla: .........

*Nana looks back to Mastema a moment later, litening to his words. If they were still energetic then there was little point in forcing them to go to sleep now. Nana nods her head gently, saying "yes", there was little mistake one could make from a nod*

--__--

They're still active, so let better to let them get it out of their systems before putting them to bed. I just hope they remember to keep clean, or they'll need a lesson on how to often use their shower by themselves.

*Micha would blink a couple of times, then take another sip from his cup. Whatever was left in the cup would be gone now, once the cup was placed back on the table. From there, Micha would turn his attention back to Sho, and blink again. It was dark outside, but time didn't really hold too much meaning to Micha, especially when almost everything was done at his own pace. If he was called back, or went back on his own then so be it, otherwise he'd just stay with Sho for a while. He seemed to have the energy for the visit, so why not?*

Micha: . . .

*Turning away from Eecheb made the boy slightly curious, so he follows the small creature with his eyes. Now where was it going? Then again did it really matter? If Eecheb became curious enough, he'd follow fenton, but if not then he'd probably lounge around in the cool temperature inside of the ruins for a little while longer*

Eecheb: >.> ?

*There seemed an unusual silence, but movement could be detected from the child. Perhaps she had found something to capture her interest, something from under the sink perhasps, or maybe her knee was finally bothering her again from her trip. It didn't seem to have bothered her on the run back to the tower and the race to her room*

Trilla: ............

*Nana nods lightly again, agreeing with Mastema. Such a simple tool and practice they needed to know, Nana would indeed be teaching them and soon. It should be relatively easy to teach, too hot and the children would get scolded, to cold and they'd be uncomfortable. The children would need to find their own personal balance in temperature, and then they'd be set. Hopefully like Nana, the children would take to showering often, since children being what they are will always get dirty at some point or another*

--___--

I know.

*Well, having never seen Nana fly or anyone else for that matter, Micha probably didn't know. There was talk of flying monkeys in Oz, but that hardly qualified. The children were to receive their first lesson some time soon, hopefully before the month was out. The same thing could be said for teaching the children magic, hopefully it would be done before the month was out, but it was uncertain. Even when Micha did learn to fly, he could very well be like Nana and still walk most of the time. With his wing design, he'd be very fast and could get anywhere within the citadel in no time if needed*

Micha: . . .

*If ever there was a Zoo in the citadel, then Fenton would be exhibiting a familiar trait of most zoo animals had after a while, the pace. Then again if the citadel did start a zoo, then it already had two cratures to put on display. One was Fenton and the other was the huge wolf with red fur who had taken up residence in the cafeteria; Eecheb continued to watch*

Eecheb: >.> ?

*The thermal readings would show Trilla looking off to her left, so something really must have caught her eye. Her head moves back and forth a little as if taking in the sight of, what ever it was. Thermal imaging wouldn't help Proto to understand what the child was viewing from her seat, but it did have her attention*

Trilla: ..........

*Nana would smile weakly, an equaly weak chortle would follow soon after. Either way, she'd be using both. In this case, if Nana taught the children the signs for certain bathroom items, then had a visual reference for them it would be easier for the children to figure out. Plus if it was integrated into their lesson, they might consider it to be fun, and if it was fun then it was something they wanted to do. Perhaps Nana would move along their punishment, and right after go right into the lesson*

^^;

Well any experience is good experience in the long run, at least at this age.

*Though not entirely sure what flying was about, it appeared that this "uncle", could not? Why? What prevented him? To Sho's question, Micha merely looked at the kettle. It could have been his way of asking for more, or perhaps he was interested in what this "tea" substance was, or maybe the boy was interested in the kettle, it was hard to say*

Micha: . . .

*Eecheb looks down at Fenton in question; the creature looked like it was feeling better. First a living paint ball and then trapped in a curtain, the small whomper had, had quite an evening. Eecheb would continue to look at Fenton in question until it indicated what it wanted, if it could indicate what it wanted. For now, Eecheb looks off in the same direction as Fenton, trying to see what Fenton was looking at*

Eecheb: o___o ?

*Trilla remained in the same state, her head nodding slightly. Her wings could probably be seen flexing a little, while looking off to her left. It seemed a little strange, but was anything in the citadel considerably normal?*

Trilla: ...........

*Nana nods lightly, remembering that she had been in one such zone where Mastema had been setting up some of the expansion equipment. Zenogais had attacked Twilight that day, when both he and herself had been in Enid talking. It was such a mess, and now Twilight might even know Nana was at the citadel though she still couldn't believe that. Perhaps Nana just wasn't giving Twilight enough credit, afterall what could returning a sword do, really?*

--__--

All right. That sounds like a good time, to start the children's punishment aswell. Then right after, they'll go straight into a lesson. A two tier punishment as it were. I'll have a few things to do while they're enduring their grounding and while you're off completing Zio's expansion, so neither of us should be in the way.

*Perhaps Micha was a little bit too hard to figure out, he remained just staring at the kettle. There was little if any response from the child when Sho was talking, so was it a hit or miss on Sho's behalf in guessing? In moments like these, talking would be preferable as Micha's dead silence stirred a slight restlessness into the room*

Micha: . . .

*Being somewhat headstrong, Eecheb would probably just remain as he was until he figured out that Fenton wasn't going anywhere, because he himself was going nowhere. The inactivity might last for several more minutes; Eecheb continues to stare*

Eecheb: o__o ?

*Nana sighs slightly, and looks up to Mastema*

v__v;

Even if I haven't been, I still feel as if at times I may have been. I already have a feeling the lesson will have several bumps, due in part to the fact that the children will go straight from their punishment into the lesson. I'm not all that worried about my own project.

*After several moments of awkward silence, Micha pushes his cup to the middle of the table and then starts to go about standing up again. Once back up on his own two feet again, Micha just stood blankly staring at his uncle, aslo quite unnerving. Perhaps the boy was getting ready to leave, having had enough of a visit this time around*

Micha: . . .

*Five minutes after the staring had started, Eecheb finally stands up and looks down to Fenton. He yawns lightly once then blinks at the fur ball again as it continued to tip back and forth. Once Eecheb's statement was made clear, Fenton could either follow or stay behind. If Fenton did follow then he'd have the benifit of choosing to sleep in Thanatos' room or that of the childrens', and in either case Fenton could sleep anywhere within said rooms*

Eecheb: =.= Well, I'm getting sleepy so I'm gunna go.

*Mastema did indeed know how difficult things had been for Nana, being how she is and being thrown into a lifestyle that was so alien and contained so many things that opposed her views and belifes, and so many other things that she had been taught. The life of an outcast, a fallen was something so different for her. Rules that once applied no longer did, creatures she was once told to hate and fear were now an all too common sight and even lived within her own home, and she was now thrown in with the lot of them. For fallen angels were also creatures, thrown into the pack of unwanted beings in heaven's view and Nana was one of them. To leave all of that behind, knowing the conciquences and yet continuing on anyways, Nana had both freed herself from her duties, but at the same time damned herself and was now one not even fit for hell. Then there was this life within the citadel, she knew it would be dangerous but it was all she had left, and if not for that she probably would already have been dead. Mastema had given her another chance at life, and now something more that she never thought was possible, children. For that she was also thankful, even though it had come about in an awkward sense, still now Nana had something else to live for*

--__--

Oh, don't worry. I just can't let it get to me is all, and yes... we will be, because we have you.
