Welcome to Gaia! ::

There came the sound of barking, almost like a dog would make but sounded when one listened closer more the sound a child would make when making the impression of a dog. Then two children seemed to be jumping up so that they could be seen through the window and in turn see who was outside. Then the barking began again, "Ah! Hey, hey! That's good you two." Came Rayne's voices and she shooed the two boys away from the door and opened it up, "Ahh. Hello Shanara, Ryhas, Vana, Douglas. Come on in dinner is just about ready."

She opened the wider so that they could come inside and better see the two boys who had run half way of the stairs and gazed down at them with brilliant colored eyes, their tails wagging. The scents coming from the kitchen were stronger too, and more of a draw especially to the one who so loved sea food.

"To those little monsters?" She asked watching the two boys as they peek down the stairs at them, "They are the sons of a friend of mine, I'm babysitting them for a while cause he was called away to... er... work." She said with a shrug, not a job that she really found herself inclined to liking but as he was good at it and he only ever anymore took jobs that needed to be done...

She watched as Shanara's brood seemed to flutter off in all directions and gave a bit of a giggle, "I'm glad that everyone feels so at home here." She said happily.

"Then he will fit right in with Jing. That man has been in the worst of moods as of late too. He's apparently none of pleased with having everything going on without getting so much as a say in it. I feel a bit bad about it to tell you the truth but he's made for it by taking it out on Lucien. Poor kid's gotten more training the last week or so then he has since he had asked in the first place." She said, giggling.

She watched the seahorse as he moved about then titled her head to the side, he sure did look unhappy and quite twitchy. She wondered what that could be all about, "Could it be the baby moving around and weighing down on him you think?" She asked. She herself knew little of pregnancy, though asking Shanara who no doubt knew less wouldn't help, the question was already out though.

The puppies that were hanging out on the top of the stairs were watching Douglas with wide, curious eyes until they were shooed off by Sasarai who had abandon hanging out upstairs until he heard Douglas's voice, "Hey there." He greeted his sea horse friend.

"You look like you need to sit." Sasarai said looking Douglas over, watching the way that he moved and seemed to be in pain. Pain in someone that tried to hide it was something that he could easily spot after the way his twin used to act. He walked over to him and reached out to lay a hand on his shoulder, "If you like you can sit down, put your feet up." He told the seahorse, his voice soothing and gentle. He didn't want to anger him or make it worse.

Rayne nodded, "He would have the best chance of it." She murmured then looked at Shanara, "If he doesnt getting better soon we can take him in to see the doctor." It would be the best bet to make sure both Daddy and Baby were ok.

"You have all the reason in the world to feel that way." Sasarai assured him then smiled, "You just rest here. I can get your dinner for you, easier then you having to move again to the dining room and much easier then you having to deal with the whole group during dinner." He knew how much of a mob was here today so maybe it would be easier on Douglas to stay here, eat in another room? "I can eat with you if you want company."

Rayne glanced over at the two of them as they talked then nodded, "I will see if I can catch Sasarai and ask him to help keep an eye on Douglas as well." She said, she didn't want for the boy to be stuck playing spy against his friend but if it were for the seahorse boy's own good then he would agree. Or so she hoped.

Sasarai watched Douglas closely then nodded before he hurried out of the room to see how dinner was coming along. Douglas seemed quite twitchy so the idea of bringing him food could be a peace offering and he could see about the older kids keeping the younger ones in check while he was at it. In check and away from Douglas so that he could have peace.

Rayne nodded, "Might be a better idea." She said watching as Sasarai headed out of the room to the kitchen. Now was a good a time as any to go talk to him too.

Rayne walked over to Douglas, "I have an idea." She told him, kneeling down next to the chair he sat in, "I am gonna bring everyone out for a movie after dinner, it will give you a break from everyone and you can go upstairs and rest." She told him, patting his hand gently, "You look so exhausted." She doubted that everyone would want to go but at least the little ones would be out from under foot and not running around to drive him nuts. He looked like the best thing for him would be food, rest, maybe a shower?

Sasarai gave a squeak as he almost ran into Yuber when he was retreiving the food, he looked up at him, gave him a look as if Yuber was one of the scariest things he had ever seen and fled passed him, scary! crying

He paused at the doorway hearing his mother talking to Douglas about them leaving him here, going to see a movie, "Is that a good idea? Leaving him alone?"

"He won't be alone. I'm sure not everyone will want to go. We are just trying to bring out the ones that will bother his rest."

Sasarai nodded, deciding he was being alittle selfish wanting to stay with Douglas when the sea horse clearly needed space and rest.
