Welcome to Gaia! ::

Selene glared back into his cold stare, her hues glittering with a mixture of extreme emotions. It was hard for her to take this without attacking ruthlessly, but Kujiiro had a point; sadly enough. "Have you ever once wanted to do something different?" Her words were abrupt and unusually steady. She tugged gently at her silk shirt, smoothing out the creases with one delicate swipe of her hand. "Just get up and remove yourself from teh tradition your family has laid out for you?" She unsheathed her sword, listening to the high-pitched sound the vibrated through her ears painfully. The words "To our beloved Queen" flashed in Kujiiro's direction, but Selene didn't seem to care. "I wanted something more than what I had, even if it was wonderful, what I did never fufilled me." Her long, slender fingers trailed over the engraved words, but she did not flinch. "I had a purpose I did not want to fufill..it did not make me happy...If the purpose is not fufilling..should you continue in a life of misery? Is that what you are telling me Kujiiro?" Selene continued to stay calm, but took a step closer to him.

The thin, yet strong elven sword was held at her side with a hand wrapped tightly around the hilt. "I am weak because I care and worry for those I love. Yes, it is surprising that someone like me would care. But I would give my life to those people...my people. I am weak in a sense, but you are as well. We both have flaws Kujiiro, and you continue to point mine out." Selene sighed, running a hand through her hair. "I..." She paused, swallowing a large amount a salava, "...apologize..for judging you earlier. i was...wrong.." The difficulty of apologizing was apparent all over the Elf's face, and Kujiiro woould probably get a laugh about it. She dropped her gaze finally, and let it hit the floor. The embarassment and shame riddling through ehr body was beginning to overcome the young lady. Damn.

"It's not that the greenhouse is busy, I'm just glad we're getting more people interested in botany and alchemy," Bukotsu smirked, "I've made a number of things around here..." Bukotsu smiled as he looked at the purple flower.

"I haven't the slightest clue...It looks new...possibly a new species, I haven't really kept track of it ya know?" Bukotsu said as he looked at the flower more closely.

"It does however look like a cross between an Azaelea and Fern, if it is then it might possess healing properties to cuts and act as a minor aspirin," Bukotsu answered as he observed more closely to the violet plant.

Oni stepped back and allowed Bukotsu to examine the plant. She admired his skill to even have a slight idea as to the usefulness of a plant he had never even seen before. "What exactly is alchemy, Bukotsu? I've heard the word many times but was never able to figure out what it meant." she said, scratching her head. She figured, if she was at school, she might as well learn something. Before long, she hoped to be as knowledgable as Bukotsu in all there is to know.

"Most people have a million definitions of alchemy, sometimes its transfiguration of matter, the mixing and reacting of chemicals, the action and reaction law, but to me, it's just a way for me to make my formulas to help," Bukotsu smirked as he looked over at behind the table.

"Hello there, are you new?" Bukotsu waved slightly towards August.

Turning his head back to Oni, "Looks like we do have the greenhouse activity"

"Well, you're not bothering us, but you're welcome to join us if you please," Bukotsu smirked lightly.

"Is quietness really a word?" Bukotsu laughed slightly as he introduced himself.

"My name's Bukotsu, and this here's a friend of mine, it's a pleasure to meet you August, that's a pretty nice name, I'm assuming you're a summer birthday, not to mention a summer person," Bukotsu smiled trying to warmly welcome her.

Shino walked in with a quiet look on her face.She was in deep thought of where to find these girls.I just need to get over it maybe they will.......no it couldnt happen.I just need to enjoy life, let go for a little while.She looked up to see August and some other boy in a conversation.She was listening strenuously,just out of curiousity.I know Im being rude,but.........I cant help it Im a little bored.She walked toward them quietly and just stood there hesitating for a moment.She was wearing the dress she had gotten for her birthday.It was a ballroom dress and was full at the bottom.It was black with some purple highlighting the trim.The sleves were long and a little puffy at the shoulder.Lace and ribbon covered the bottom of the dress nicely.There was also a purple sash around her waist that came around the back,and tied in a bow.The front of the dress hung low, showing showing her most of her chest.Her long beautiful blue hair was pulled back in a black ribbon,that hung down low on her back.Her purple eyes glittered in the sun as she sauntered toward them.Her purple slippers clicked as seh walked through the green house.
Some of her bangs hung in her face as she smiled peacefully at them.Her voice twinkled like little birds in the summer."Hello August.Who is your friend?"She just smiled as them as she looked towards the boy."Nice to meet you my name is Shino."

Oni extended her hand to each of the girls whom she had just met. "My name's Oni Makibi. It's nice to meet the both of you." she said with enthusiasm. It had been quite a while since she had met anyone new. She hadn't really had time to do so with having to take care of Tetsuo. So she was pretty excited about seeing and getting to know new faces, especially those interested in the same things she had hoped to learn about.
