Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nashira's cheeks flushed a little when Neptune suggested waiting on a group shot, but nodded. "Yes." Was all she said at first, agreeing to Nadinia's statement. "...Neptune is very perceptive. His idea is sound." That was a compliment, right? She wanted it to be. Neptune was nice, after all, she liked him, and hoped that she could call him her friend. Actually, she really wanted to be friends with Nadinia, and the other three girls as well.

Her gaze shifted to Zahneel when she volunteered to take a picture of them, and nodded. "T... thank you." She looked at Nadinia, who agreed, and she shifted awkwardly closer and attempted a pleasant face. She didn't typically show her emotion with expressions, but her eyes did convey her happiness at the turnout of her request. In the back of her head, she thought maybe she should apologize to Neptune for butting in, and asking him such a foolish thing as taking her picture. But that would be later.

When the picture had been taken, she nodded to Zahneel and thanked her again. "I appreciate you taking the photo for me." And to Nadinia, she added "And thank you for agreeing. Getting along will make this trip pleasant." That was, this trip would be better with friends. She looked up to Patches and Mahuyah as the more eccentric girl seemed to be trying to stage a shot of them all right now. She... felt anxious and relieved at the same time. They thought it was a good idea too? That made her feel better that maybe she wasn't intruding on something, but also, now what? There was still that 'conversation' aspect of getting to know people.

"My name is Nashira." She introduced herself to the girls she didn't know.

No matter how many times she looked, he just wasn't there in any of the seats. Neovi resisted an urge to pout, carefully keeping her wings folded as she moved around through whatever space she could find in the carriage. She'd been fluttering about in search of an imp she'd met once, hoping to tell him all about the slime he'd been so scared of, but she supposed she'd just have to save it for the next time she ran into him. If she ever did.

Giving up her search, the fey quickly turned her attention instead to finding a seat. Honestly she was surprised she'd gotten away with not having one for as long as she had, but she wasn't going to complain about that at all! It did leave her options a little limited, but that would just make the choice even easier to make. For instance, she could sit waaay back there in that seat, or maybe that one she'd seen near the front, or!

She plopped into the seat next to Lillith and stuck out a hand covered in dried paint. "Hiya! I'm Neovi, do you mind if I sit here?" She was already sitting there, so maybe it was a little late to be asking that, but oh well. "I was just thinking, 'there's someone who looks kinda familiar', but you know I don't think we've met after all. Except for now, I mean."

Hello!!

Would he be brave to go to the forbidden forest alone, well he would definitely want to go with a group, hence why he was on a bus but if it was the only way to visit the forest… unsurprisingly he found that his answer was yes, yes he would. “Mmm yeah as long as I’m careful and pay attention to my surroundings not much ends up scaring me. For me the scariest thing I find often comes from other people, but that’s a depressing road to travel down. However I wouldn’t say brave, more like I have a bit of an adventure bug and if it was the only way to see the forest I'd do it. Still would prefer the group though.” He did snort a little however at the forest creatures being like him. Well that would make for a rather interesting trip… especially if they all came with their own Salem.

Seeing an opportunity to lean his thoughts back in the right direction he turned towards Callixtus again. “Ah thank you very much. Here while I’m thinking about it let me give you that address.” Samhain commented before he reached down to where his backpack was sitting in front of his legs and in one of the front pockets pulled out a small little note pad writing his address down before ripping the sheet out and handing it over to Callixtus. Wait had Callixtus said what he thought he said. Yep… he had said Sammy. “Full name is actually Samhain by the way,”

Well the next question was a relatively easy one. He had known where he was going to go to university from about the time he picked a house at the academy. “Ah, I’m off to Leviathan for Medicine, not sure yet what I’ll specialize in but I figure I'll have enough years of med school to figure it out.” He answered letting his side of the conversation lull for a bit as the others answered “I can’t say I’ve been to the village inside the storm yet, but I’ve at least seen the storm. When I was over in that area last I think I was about 6 and the storm was still raging. I’ll probably one day see if I can visit now that a sand storm isn’t in the way. ”

Nadi popped another candy into her mouth after Zahneel took one. She smiled at the Grimm and nodded. " It's really beautiful. ... I miss it a lot. Not that I'm sure Below isn't interesting, but it's just not what I'm used to. Above is so bright and gorgeous and lush. ... Well, at least where I lived. I grew up in a Dryad town, so there were lots of growing things all around. "

She felt the lump in her throat again, and cast her eyes to the floor. She smoothed her skirt across her knees, trying to calm herself. It was going to be okay. She was going back Above, after all! ... Even if it was only for a bit.

The Dryad wondered what this forest was going to be like. In truth, she'd never strayed far from her village home, so much of Above was also a mystery to her.

Mahuyah gave a soft sigh of relief, as it sounded that the others were agreeing with her on waiting until their rival to take a group picture. She was still anxious, especially since she was talking with so many others, but it helped that it seemed there were others like her in this group.

When Patches shoved the camera in her hand, she froze up a moment in confusion. This gave her friend enough time to get completely wrapped up into figuring out how to angle everything. This also involved Mahuyah standing up with the carriage was still moving, which in her opinion wasn't very safe. Normally, confrontation with this many peers involved would have stressed her to comply, but because so many others had initially voiced the same concern it gave her a bit of surprised confidence.

Carefully, she passed the camera back. "Patches, I can't. I don't think it's safe, and I think we should wait until we arrive. We could do one each, one on the carriage like Neptune said, and stage that we're still traveling, and one off." She took a breath, gathering every bit of courage, before addressing the rest of the group. "Is... is that ok with everyone?" She could almost feel her hear about to break out of her chest, it was beating so hard.

Having been thoroughly lost in her own thoughts, Lillith paused longer than she would have liked before responding to the winged one who has just plopped down beside her.

Smiling as she turned her body towards the brightly coloured student, Lillith extended her hand out in greeting, "I don't believe we have met, but I always love to make new friends. What school are you from?". Her curiosity was more than peaked by the girl, and she felt that it couldn't hurt to make friends.

Lillith pondered how useful it might be to form alliances with others on the bus, depending on where the currently rather chatty carriage was taking it's passengers.
