Welcome to Gaia! ::

He looked about. "Ah.. no, no thank you." He replied to the offer of food. He looked himself over and smiled a bit. "Yes.. It seems I have had a bit of.. trouble." He stole a quick glance out over his shoulder, out the window. His expression went from bad to worse. His strained smile vanished. It was raining outside, harder than ever. He made his way back to the doors and pulled the heavy board across the doors. "Can never be..." He trailed off for a second, taking a deep breath. "Too careful, mmh?" He seemed to have been talking to himself. He returned to the kitchen, then began rummaging through the fridge. His brain clicked, and he reached from a box of stored-away chinese takeout to a bottle of water, realized he had seconds early denied food. He closed the refridgerator door, looking to Finn. "I ask you to accept my apology for not..being around very much." He said, deliberatly making eye contact with her. "It seems I've been.. gone for a while, mmh?" He sat down at the table, drinking the water. "However.." He began, "I would much appreciate to see how you have come along without me." His eyes looked focused..but weren't quite there, it seemed. "If you'd like, we could start tommorrow. Whenever you're ready really." He seemed eager to make up being away for so long.

"Mmhf!" He pulled the water away from his mouth a bit too abrupty. "Actually.." He stood and, airily, made his way to the main room. "Mouko, you can come too. You have every right to see as well, you did teach me for a while, if I recall.. correctly." He blinked a bit at the end of his sentence, as if he weren't completely sure of his statement, then moved to a bookcase. "It's been here quite a while.. I'm actually surprised no one's noticed, yet.." He said, looking back to the bookcase. He continued to stand there, the same dumbfounded expression on his face. He pulled his hat from his head, then reached up, after an unusually long pause. It was as if time was regularly being lost track of within his head. He shook his head again, then pulled a book. "The heat these books give off when taken from the bookshelf is astounding.. I've seen Hwen read a few, she says they're quite pleasant to the touch.." He shrugged some, the case sinking into the floor. He stepped across. "Still hasn't fixed it.." He said, examining the broken door. "Hmm.. Well, here it is. The Ho Dojo."

*Mouko nods* That is correct.....I've done a little bit of teaching Finn as a matter of fact.....*He stands up and sends the mess he had made away with a gust of wind......*

*Mouko stands up and walks into the main dojo, before jumping up to his rafter and putting away his staff and long bow. He then hops down to the floor and walks down the passageway to the dojo that he has known about for quite sometime, but hasn't bothered to visit yet.....* Meet you guys there..... *these are his last words before dissolving into the darkness*

"um..my names Findabhair...im not quite shure what my last name is... but please call me Finn" she said as she turned and fully enterd the Ho Dojo

(( meet you there))

Finn came quickly out of the Ho Dojo and without even stopping for her bag went to the Medbay and applied the necessary herbs to her feet, deciding she should spend the night here, mostly because she didn't want to go to her room and unpack all her stuff from her trip

Melissia hugged her knees, and watched all that went on in the dojo... every now and then, though, when she thought noone was watching...

She went outside, to continue her practice. She thought all of these people may threaten her one day...
