Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Did his hair not look black before?" Lin asked.

She did have to wonder about that, because to say a person glowed probably didn't fully describe what Andarien was seeing.

Lin blinked and shrugged deciding it wasn't worth getting him to expand on it. Though it did make her wonder what Earendil's hair looked like before, because to say it glowed was pretty vague.

Eventually they reached the study, though the door was closed to maintain privacy.

Lin knocked and heard in return a muffled 'come in'. Unlike Kali's home, the door wasn't locked in case someone really needed her mother.

Miyuki was sitting at a table with her grandmother with a piece of paper with a complex array before them. It was actually the original security array that was on the ceiling of the portal room.

There were a lot of ways to do seals and like much of the magic Gaians did it was interpretive, but it gave a focal point for magic to work. In some ways it could be more varied than simply casting a spell, but it was also difficult to wrap one's head around sometimes.

At the moment, Kara was going through how both the runes or letters and the shape they were arranged in could affect the outcome of an array which was a much more complicated seal.

Though Miyuki was momentarily distracted by Andarien's shouting.

"I'm not?" Kara looked up from what they were doing to smile at Andarien.

Miyuki glanced up at Andarien but looked back down as she scribbled a few more notes about the concept. Rune arrays apparently were like programming and making a computer board, there was a lot to take into account.

Of course there were the seals that her grandmother made, like the endless bags one was easy, because her grandmother made it and then could explain how it worked so Miyuki could do it. Unfortunately Miyuki couldn't apply a seal using magic, that was far more advance so she would have to write it or draw it. Though she was assured this was normal.

Kara chuckled at this as she placed a hand upon Andarien's shoulder, "That's wonderful to hear. I know it's been hard on you since arriving here."

Even though Arda had more beings with magic, Gaia used magic a lot more than Arda. It was kind of an interesting trade off from Kara's point of view.

"And did you have a fun today?"

Kara couldn't help but chuckle at that, most wouldn't consider that interesting, but to each their own. She knew from the many children she had that everyone was a bit different in their interests.

"That's good to hear," Kara murmured.

She then turned to the adults in the room.

"And how was your day?" she asked the couple.

"That's good, I don't get to go there often, but it's nice to visit Mi on occasion," Kara nodded.

Of course, often it was because Mi liked having Kara around.

"Miyuki, are you ready?" Kara finally asked as she noted the girl was still quiet and still scratching away at her paper.

Miyuki paused and looked up from her work, "Almost...."
