Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eecheb: >.> | Maybe.

*Eecheb knew of swimming, it was again in one of the books Nana had read, of not two of them. The motion was then probably explained to them a little later on. First flying lessons and then swimming lessons, not to mention a stepped up lesson progmram, the children would have a lot to take in. It was needed of course for their own benefit and survival*

Trilla: >_>; | Hnn...

*Trilla would remain mostly silent while watching Thanatos and Tyrsias talk back and forth. So now, she could only trust Tyrsias and Thanatos? Well, Thanatos she could understand, but the child still held no trust at all for Tyrsias. It seemed that Thanatos was unaware of Micha's punishment via Mastema, from about a week and a half earlier. The boy was still in his place, well at least after he was returned after the incident with the shadow-like creature. When he would move again who could really say, but he was awake and healed, and doing very little else not even eating. Hiding behind Proto, Trilla felt safer, hopefully there wouldn't be a fight, but if there was, then Proto would probably have to take Trilla back to the tower where she would be safe, and not a possible casualty*

*Than could only raise a brow at Tyr's admittance of "failure"* I've made no charges against you for leaving me. And you are not so far from the truth when you believe I wished Kaiori-chan to be taken away to heal again. Emotions are universal, our perceptions are not. You seem to hold to the view that I've come to you as a prosecutor..... where as I am merely here of my own curiosity and for my little sister's peace of mind. I merely do not agree with the fact that you are preaching her on who to trust when evidence shows you have no idea who she already does and does not trust. I say this not only for Trilla's capacity to choose who she trusts, but also so that you may hold your breath and not waste your words. *He took a long breath after the long statement* If you have in any way or magnitude harmed my sister, then I would appreciate probably not half so much as she would if you would make amends in some form. However, what do you mean my brother is injured? I saw him recently resting in his room quite peacefully.

Sho: *Sho yawned then blinked, following the child's glances. He soon picked up how odd the furniture must look in respect to common conventions* ^^; Odd sight isn't it. All my furniture is close to the ground. Instead of chairs, I've got those cushions..... but I do find them much more comfortable.

Slayer: Indeed... if the world were uniform we may find life less of an individual experience. *He mused himself on the thought* Eliminate a few threats? Ah... I have had the pleasure of knowing the latter two, and engaging in combat with the first. That fight was right outside of this very tower, actually. Xol seems to have a particular distaste for Lord Mastema, for what specifics I cannot be sure. But I agree... those three are potential threats. I can assure you that Xol will be the most easily targeted.... the other two are highly elusive.

Tyr- ::Tyrsais shrugged at Thanatos. After the phrase "peace of mind" he turned away scoffing slightly at the sentiment. Obviously he didn't agree that peace of mind was of any true worth. He smiled a bit more when asked about Micha, and walked toward Proto, and Trilla::

Proto would you do me a favor... Please take Miss Trilla here to her destination... And Miss Trilla I do appologize for the fashion in which we met... Should you wish the use of my waterfall you'll find it open to you...

::Tyrsais would turn to Than obviously waiting for Trilla to be gone from the area before discussing any other matters.::

Al- ::Albert nodded slightly. Anyone that had been around knew that Xol was never hard to find. Even if he was hiding he was busy harassing someone. Albert stood up after a moment walking toward the balcony::

Yes... but on another related matter. What was that creature earlier? I had hoped to capture a peice of its essence for study, but it obviously predicted my plan...

*It was highly unlikely that Trilla would ever go near Tyrsias' lair again, of her own free will. When Tyrsias approched, it only caused Trilla to hide again behind Proto in fear. Visually, Trilla was trembling lightly, not that you could see her, behind Proto. Her eyes were closed tightly too, it seemed she just didn't want the man to be there anymore, again the child was aggitated. It didn't seem that Trilla wanted to give an answer, her head was probably too tied up in thought anyhow*

Trilla: >_<; | .......

*Eecheb would sit down on the pillow cross legged aswell, being used to sitting that way, since a few of his lessons had been in his and his sibling's room, and sitting on the floor was just something that was done so he could see all the materials. The cushions were comfortable enough, and Eecheb poked at the edges of them while sitting*

Eecheb: >.> | Like what?

Proto: *Standing still so Trilla could hide, Proto just watched Tyr storm off*

Than: *Even though he'd declared that he and Tyr would be the ones to leave if Trilla wanted to stay, Tyr might be even more angered when Than didn't immediately follow but went to the side of his sister. Than squated down by Trilla, noticing her light trembling* Hnn.... *Than's arm moved to embrace Trilla. The stuffed bear would be between Than and Trilla, most likely* I'm sorry Trilla.... I know this isn't a fun experience... and I'll make it up to you as best I can in a little while. Is there anything I can do to help you feel better?

Sho: I'm glad you asked! *It sounded like Eecheb had fallen into a trap. The loudness of Sho's voice might even be enough to shock the child to fall on his side. Quickly grabbing a utility from the table, Sho presents it to Eecheb* The ultimate in food ingesting facilitation! Otherwise known as chop sticks! ^^

Slayer: *Slayer chuckled at the thought of this new comer suddenly being charged with educating Mastema's kids. Albert's intentions were good, but he did not have the same spirit or kindness that Nana had* I myself am a teacher of my own arts. I myself taught Lord Mastema everything I knew. *Slayer breathed in through his pipe and exhaled* Ah, the citadel mistress is presently recovering from an illness. Perhaps she will see you when she recovers.

Tyr- ::Tyrsais was not one to wait for Thanatos if he really wanted to talk about it then he would find him, and Zio could no doubt lead him. So he simply began his journey back to his lair. He would move a bit slowly, but he just wasn't in a hurry::

Al- ::Albert turned away from the balcony not seeing whatever he was looking for, and returned to the chair opposite of Slayer. He would look about Slayer's room taking note of everything now.::

Your lair isn't quite as I would have expected...

*Trilla would probably be hugging Thantos around the shoulders or neck, with her face by one of his ears. After Thanatos' thumb started stroking the child's cheak, she would speak a little. It seemed she still had a slight stutter, like Nana from time to time, or at least when she was sad, scared, or stressed. In this case, she may have been all three, like that really helped her out any*

Trilla: v.v; | First he said-- he said that Zeph didn't belong here. T--then he says Zeph does, but that he lies. A-- and then he said he worked with papa, but he's too scary. Ah- and Trilla can't see Zeph, because he keeps stopping Trilla. S-- so Trilla can't get to go here and there...

*Eecheb had to wonder about that, chopsticks being superior to forks? What about when handling thicker foods? What about mashed potatoes and peas, a favorite of the boy? Sometimes the viscosity of it could be too soft for chopsticks, but not forks, so what then? It seemed that Eecheb would have to do some investigation and discovery of his own, once he learned how to use the chopsticks anyhow*

Eecheb: >.>; | Uh, and.... how's that?
