Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yes I can! Ah, but I'm still a baby and so... I need a good master to train me up all strong like..." Suzaku admitted.
"Oooh! Like Pokemon!" Sokras said before he realized it. "Ah! I mean..." His face reddened slightly.

"Po-ke-mon?" Aegyl repeated, confused.
"What's a pokemon? Do you eat it?" The princess asked.

"Cartoon..." Aegyl started.
"...show?" The princess finished.
"I-it's something from the human world where I grew up in as well as many other human world variations." Sokras explained. "Anyway, Suzaku, do I carry you on my shoulder or..."
"Nope! I sleep in the gem on the glove until you need me. Also, if you wear it as regular equipment it, it'll boost your magic defense. Thanks to me, that is!" Suzaku said, prideful.

Sokras nodded in understanding as Suzaku disappeared into the gem. "If he's like a pokemon, though, then he'd be miniature Ho-oh."

The princess decided to let the strange subject slide. She, instead, chose to focus on the fact her little brother was okay. And thus, she hugged him tightly. "Don't worry your big sis like this ever again, you hear me? If you do, I'll tickle you until you cry!!!"

Aegyl sighed and shook her head. She turned to Austin. "So...basically, we just got a new ally. That's god. But...what is the Princess of the Glass Castle and Deathmonger Kujo doing looking for Sokras?"

"Wah! Please don't tickle me, sis!" Sokras said, not wanting to be tcikled.
The princess gave a happy smile. "Good. Now, let's go!"
Sokras blinked. "Go where?"
"Home of course!" The princess said.

Aegyl blanched as she heard the princess' words. "You do realize that's the last place they need to be. Showing up in that place with you in their company..."

"..." Aegyl nodded in understanding. "I see. Then I'll continue t follow as your faithful steed." She said, giving a slight bow.

The princess was laughing as she teased Sokras. "Man, this reminds me of the old days! Hahaha!"
Sokras gave a small blush. "Uh...yeah. Though...I don't remember too much."
The princess ruffled his hair in response. "It'll be okay!"

At that point, Kujo returned with two horses in tow. "It would seem the royal steeds need re-training, princess. They've followed us to even this place."

"We walk." Kujo said bluntly.
"Or we take a short-cut back the way Kujo-kun and I came." The princess chirped in. Much to Kujo's irritation.

Sokras thought about it. "Well, a short-cut would be nice..." But...I don't want to get to the Glass Castle so fast... I want to learn my sister a bit better... And solve those strange visions... He then gave a patient smile. "You guys decide. I'll be fine, however way we go!"

Aegyl noticed the minute change in Sokras' attitude. She leaned in near Austin. "A word of advice: when Sokras trails off in his words and his eyes get dim, he's planning to put everyone else before him. It's nice but he does it ALL the time. The boy just doesn't know how to be selfish..." She shook her head and stood back.

Sokras looked up and shook his head. "Nothing's particularly...wrong." He smiled.
