Welcome to Gaia! ::

Waving his tail like a fly swatter Shippou attempted to deter Yaraif, his eyes still in the wide-stare fo disbelief. "I didn't know I was playing! No fair!"
Laughing the others ran or flew arounf merrily, glad to see the little fox involved for once. Even if it was involuntary.

((should we think about starting a new "day" soon? Ending this session of fun & then starting up on either the "next" day or just another meeting time? Just an idea.))

Locke trotted back to the field, Tien fluttering around his head. A yellow, cat like creature ran circle around them The green cait grinned to himself. Was I ever that hyper?

He mused on his unspoken question, feeling very much the responsible party. Shippou had stayed behind with the talaye baskets to watch them with Aiden & Jezebel. Trelweny had disappeared while taking a walk with TheronDeVon & they were all worried sick about them. Locke, Kiran & Tien had left their home hoping to find a game that would get their minds off their worries. Not that Tien stayed worried for long, but when the reality hit it the kun's frets & poutings were unbearable. It was best to keep the kunkun occupied.

"Are we there yet? Are we there yet are we there yet?" The yellow persekitty jumped at Locke's face each time he passed by. The cait was surprised he was not too dizzy to run yet. He'd been ignoring every other one of Kiran's persistant quaries since they set out. Locke just could not keep up with them. Amuzidly he rolled his eyes. This must be what Shippou has felt like with me. Suddenly he wondered why any one would ever have children. That of course made him think of Aqua, which made him blush.

"Yes! We're here!" Locke cried out in mock exasperation, eyes sparkling with mirth. "Nenemne!" Joyfully Tien & Kiran celebrated. This is exactly what we need. Eagerly Locke looked around, hoping Yaraif would remember to show up & half-hoping there might be others to surprise them as well.

((I'm having this "day" happening at the same time as an RP I'm participating in at Sylphs & Shards... just so I can keep my mind strait. *hugs*))

"Aamah!" Tien nearly shrieked indiscriminantly of who might be arriving upon hearing a kun & the sounds of movement their way. It thought briefly that it sounded like its new friend Yaraif... but thinking was not one of Tien's strong suits. The silly kunkun was just excited to play. Eagerly & without fear Tien streaked towards the source of the sounds.

Pausing mid-romp, Kiran looked in the direction of the voices before looking up at Locke with hopeful eyes. Locke grinned back at him in his fashion, almost wishing that Shippou had joined them do he was not forced to be the responsible party. Then again, maybe it was the sly familiar's way of teaching him responsibility before... the green cait blushed under his fur at the thought. There really was not any reason he should be thinking as far as that. He & Aqua were not that serious yet... were they?

Shaking his head from his thoughts of romping cits Locke placed a restraining paw in front of the little persekitty. He was close to Locke's familiar in size, so this halted him rather effectively. "Wait til we can see them. There's more big noise than a kun could possibly make & Trelweny would never forgive me if I let you get trampled or something else." If Trelweny ever comes home that is... Of course he knew how very forgiving Trelweny really was, but the young Kiran was still learning. And both were worried about her.

"Awwww...." He might pout, but Kiran was resonably abated and waited impatiently to see what Tien was flying to meet.

Laughing as it tumbled Tien managed to hold a tight grip onto its kunkun friend. "Yarf!!" Wiping tears of laughter from its eyes, Tien followed Yaraif's motion of "Saa Prolo" even as the kuns righted themselves. "Prolo? Aamha Prolo!"

Prolo? Locke shifted his ears forward to hear better & caught Tien's affirmation of the name. That's what Yaraif called Progolo! Happier than he'd been since Trelweny & Theron disappeared on their walk the green cait bounded off to great their old companion.

Left alone, Kiran blinked in confusion. "Hey! Wait for me!"

Tien grinned widely, its smile nearly filling its face. The Prolo knew its name! "Sek! Sek! Nenemne!" With little other explanation, it grabbed Yaraif by the hands & swung her in an impromptu airial dance. "Disa? Pelae Disa?

Locke broke through the folliage, Kiran hot on his heels. Progolo was in front of him quiker than he had inticipated & the cait wildly tried to put on the brakes. All four paws went out in front of him, tearing up the groundcover between him & the human as he skidded along with the force of his momentum. "Uh-oh!" He managed to get out before his legs stuck Progolo's feet, causing the cait's head to whiplash & smack th young man's knees with a 'thud!'

Dizzily, Locke fell over.

Locke looked up at Progolo, his bright smile fading away. "I, uh... guess you don't remember me." He sighed & shook himself off, head to tail like a canine. "There were an awful lot of people there... & lots of stuff going on..." Licking his paw he ran it over the longer fun on his head. "Maybe I just remember you better 'cause you're the one who found the singing egg! Shippou & I just played with Perke or helped Trelweny mostly."

The cait was boring, so Kiran focused on the kuns. "Sek! Disa tag!" Tien avidly answered. Then it spotted Kiran. "Kiran disa too!" The kun paused, as if thinking or suddenly remembering something -both rather rare occurances for Tien. It was only a moment. Then it was flying between Yaraif & Kiran, touching each & shouting their name. "Yarf! Kiran! Yarf! Kiran!" Probably its way of performing introductions. It did not look like Tien would stop until the kun knew it had succeeded.
Meanwhile, Kiran sat on his hind end -stumped. His kunkunese was terrible. "What does 'tag' mean anyway?" He said to himself. The poor persekitty did not know that Tien had thrown in non-kunkunese word & was trying to translate it. Poor Kiran.

Although Locke seems a bit crestfallen -he viewed himself as unforgettable- he nevertheless nodded understanding. "Well, it was pretty chaotic, what with the gods showing up & getting angry & things. Not to mention the vast crouds of people & kyunru & kunkuns. Why I could hide behind a Kyun!" That thought appeared to lift his spirits & the green cait squared his shoulders a little more confidently. "I had a lot of downtime by myself afterwards carrying our bottle to reflect on events... you were probably pretty busy."

"Huh?" It took the persekitty a moment to realize that Yaraif was not speaking kunkunese. "Yes! I am yellow!" Pleased to be up to speed for once in the conversation Kiran began to purr. Tien halted midair, smiling inainly. "Sek! Kiran color Yellow!" Sek! Sek!"
