Welcome to Gaia! ::

The splash into the pool was the first thing that got Hitsu's attention, and she looked rather alarmed at first. Who wouldn't be after what had just happened? When she saw Vash flailing around and screaming like he was drowning, she tried to hold back a chuckle. Stepping over to the side of the pool, she took it upon herself to try and help him to calm down. "Vash? Vash! You're in the shallow end of the pool! Stand up!" She honestly couldn't understand how he hadn't figured this out, and the scene made her giggle.

Then, somehow between Vash's screams, Hitsu heard the sobbing. She took a quick glance around to figure out just who it was, and when she finally laid eyes on Dynast she looked quite startled. She didn't even think he knew how to cry, let alone let himself do it. To Aisuru's statement, Hitsu could only shake her head slowly. Right now, she was too confused to give the explanation. For a long moment, she thought as Orion did, something was wrong and Dynast was trying to fake emotions to have everyone drop their guard. "What on earth is going on...?" She murmured. It was then that she saw Aerith coming in through the door, and she went slack jawed when the young woman kneeled next to Dynast.

Rubbing at his eyes, Dynast seemed surprised to find someone sitting next to him. His sobbing didn't die down much at all, making it all the more difficult to understand him as he tried to speak. "I-I.. C-cou-ld've ki-killed them!" He stammered, sniffling all the while. While Unaru had intended to give Dynast the emotions that Hitsu felt toward the situation, which he had quite clearly succeeded in, Dynast had no idea how to control himself. In an instant he'd been hit hard with the urge to cry when he was overcome with regret, both being something he'd not experienced once in his life. How was he supposed to stop his tears?

Picking himself up from the floor, Yuki winced for a moment or two as the throbbing below his waist finally eased up and faded away. Once his discomfort had gone, he carefully stepped past Aisuru and approached Dynast. He paused several feet away from he and Aerith, staring down at the both of them in confusion. Tilting his head a moment as the sobbing Mazoku tried to explain the situation, his mind worked as he tried to figure out how Dynast of all people could have a breakdown.

Aerith was surprised that Dynast could show such strong, raw emotions. Last time she met him, he had tried to kill Sphinx. He didn't seem like the type who would openly sob hysterically in public. She probably appeared to be sappy, just barging in on the party without greeting anyone, and going straight to Dynast and comforting him.

The flowergirl wiped his tears away in a motherly way, all whilst rubbing his shoulder. Most people would think she was trying to flirt with him, but she'd honestly treat anyone this way. Aerith began to wonder who made Dynast cry; He must have been a great deal cruel to make someone so hardy blubber like this.

For a long while, Hitsu couldn't do much but stare. Aisuru's laughter didn't seem to concern her, though she couldn't quite bring herself to laugh at the situation. Of course, being clueless on the cause had her more concerned than amused. It seemed to click once Unaru stepped up, that he was responsible for Dynast's rather unexpected change in mood. Hoping to help Unaru in the situation, she spoke up as well. "Yes, Aerith... You... Might want to be careful."

As Yuki watched the display before him, he had begun to fidget. His brain was screaming two different things right now, and while he appeared to want to approach the two, once he'd leaned foreword to take a step he'd paused. On one side, should Dynast decide to snap out of it while he was within reach, there would be a very real chance that Yuki would be... For lack of a better term; ********. On the other, there was Aerith. He had no idea who she was, but the fact that there was an attractive female not five feet away that was getting attention from Dynast grated at him.

With this final thought, he apparently made his decision. Screw physical safety, he'd take his chances. Practically bounding over alongside Aerith before he gave himself the chance to change his mind, he kneeled down next to her. While reaching over her shoulder in an attempt to remove her hand from Dynast's shoulder, he offered her a confident smile. "Why don't ya leave him be for a bit? I'm a lot more interesting, and I'm not prone to emotional breakdowns."

From his position near the doorway, yet well out of range of where the door would swing upon being opened, Vincent only stared. If he found humor in much of anything, it would be this. The collar of his cloak nearly hid the small smirk that tugged at his lips, but that would most likely be the extent of his visible amusement.

"I know who I'm dealing with, don't worry." She said in a congenial tone, as she automatically assumed that Unaru was worried about her. Although having the best intentions, the sweet fragrance of flowers that wafted around Aerith was probably nauseating Dynast. She continued to rub his back gingerly as a young man, who strongly resembled someone she knew, approached her. He took her hand off of Dynast's shoulder softly, and tried to woo her with a suave tone. She took her attention off of Dynast for a little bit, still keeping an eye on him. "Oh? And why do you deserve my attention, Mr...?" She didn't know his name, but Aerith loved to act coy around men. She didn't really see him as a potential boyfriend, but it was almost in her nature to be interested in love. If she would have turned around, she would have noticed Inu kick Dynast, but her attention was now diverted.

"Well, uh..." Hitsu started, chewing her lower lip slightly. "It's a bit hard to explain..." Taking a few moments to stare at Dynast, still thoroughly amazed by the fact that he was actually sobbing, she gave a very short answer. "He's... A dog." Clearly, this answer could be interpreted differently, but perhaps Aisuru would understand what she meant? Hitsu's eyes grew wide when she noticed Inu approaching Dynast with a look of anger. Anger might have been an understatement really, she looked downright pissed, and Hitsu knew it wasn't going to end well. Wincing as Inu made to aim her kick, she called out to Yuki and Aerith. "Careful!"

Yuki was already on it, and it was astounding that for once he had his senses about him. All to impress the lady, of course. Quickly, he tugged against Aerith's shoulders to draw her closer to him, while leaning backward a bit as Dynast did indeed fall sideways. Yuki couldn't help bit grin down at him as he hit the floor headfirst at his feet. Then, as though nothing at all had just interrupted him, Yuki replied to Aerith. "Name's Yuki!" He smiled, "I'll bet a pretty thing like you has a pretty name to match..."

Giving a yelp, Dynast had toppled over with surprisingly little effort. Perhaps it was the fact that he was still sobbing, or simply the fact that there was currently no fight in him. Who knew. Either way, once he hit the floor, he slowly repositioned himself and struggled to get to his feet. Once standing, he sniffled a handful of times. His head hurt, and with this thought he rubbed the throbbing spot that the girl had created on the side of his head. Seconds before his eyes started brimming with tears once more, he caught sight of Orion. The fact that he was standing off as far off from him as he could manage didn't seem to register, and the Mazoku rushed over to him as he started to wail. "I'm s-sorry!" Followed closely by whimpering of nearly drowning him, opposite of minutes ago when he was sarcastically apologizing for his failure in finishing the moth off. Once he'd gotten close enough, with arms outstretched he very clearly intended to fling them around Orion, and didn't seem to find anything wrong with doing so.

Aerith was shocked at how anxious Yuki was. Had he never properly courted a girl before? It's not like she was interested or anything, but she couldn't pass up a good flirt. Previously, she was a somewhat quiet girl, whose diminutive exterior belied her strong-willed interior. "Mine is Aerith. Aerith Gainsborough." She flipped her braided hair as she looked away, all whilst batting her eyelashes.

Everything else around her was somewhat surreal, and as she was looking away from Yuki, she looked into the eyes of a tall, lanky man... In a strange red coat. What she saw made her want to giggle, but it was rude laugh at someone being punished. The girl (or, atleast, she looked like one. She sure didn't act or sound like it, however.) had delivered another blow, but this time to someone else.

"No... Not quite..." Hitsu murmured to Aisuru, looking alarmed as Dynast scrambled across the pool room and toward Orion. However, she had to muffle her own laughter when Orion quickly made a mad dash for the door. While it might have been cruel to laugh at his fear of Dynast, which was her reasoning behind quickly clamping a hand over her mouth, at that particular sight she just couldn't help herself. This was the first time that she was able to watch Dynast and not be concerned for those around. For now, at least. Whatever Unaru had done, she wished the twins and Sphinx were downstairs to see it.

Fake flirting or not, not that he could tell the difference due to how little of it he'd received, Yuki was joyful. However, he did his hardest to hide it. "Aerith." He repeated, "Ga-..... Gain...." His grin widened a bit as he tried to make up for this, "Aerith is a beautiful name." His expression faded just slightly when she turned her attention away from him, and he tried to follow her gaze to se just what she was distracted by. Vash? Jaw falling a bit, he quickly closed it again and immediately tried to gain her attention back. Getting to his feet, he tugged gently at her upper arm to offer her assistance as well. "Now that the dangerous stuff is over, would you like a tour of the house?" The fact that he had no idea of Hitsu would permit it or not didn't seem to register, right now he didn't care.

Seeing that Orion had taken no time at all to escape him, Dynast had taken a moment to pause and stare sadly at the door that the moth had vanished behind. Giving a deep sigh, he rubbed the tears from his face again. One thing was certain, once this curse wore off, he'd best be in a very secure place that lacked anything he could kill or destroy. If he remembered this once he regained his proper senses, things would not bode well.

In a moment, he'd looked back to everyone else standing about. This was when he noticed Inu. The very thought that she'd just kicked him not a minute before was apparently overlooked, and in an instant he was heading toward her. Similar to his wailings to Orion, apologizing for knocking her down the stairs and locking the door. He'd try to get his arms around her as well, if she didn't get out of the way fast enough like Orion had done.
