Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sixsipita had spent most of her rare free afternoon settled comfortably in the curve of a low-hanging tree branch. She'd brought a book for reading but had mostly been daydreaming, staring up at the passing sky through the leaves, or watching others her age as they, too, took advantage of the time off before the festival tomorrow. Every now and then she'd brought her piccolo out to play a few light tunes and garner the amusement of other unsuspecting Dysadi passing below.

Six had begun to drift off as the afternoon lulled by, her tail flicking idly from it's dangling position. She heard the crunching of dirt and a few branches and sat up, rubbing one of her eyes and interestedly observing Kami's mother making her grouchy way by the tree she'd taken up residence in. The girl smiled a bit and vaulted herself off of the branch, landing un-coordinatedly and falling onto her a** with a heavy thud behind Velia. She winced but tried to play it off, faltering a bit as she called "H-hey! Fancy seeing you here?" and shoved herself to her feet unsteadily.

"It's a small world, right?" Six deflected the sarcasm jokingly, giving her sore butt an absent rub before walking around to meet Velia eye to eye and flashing her her best grin "Hey, um, so, while I have you--have you given any thought to the whole, y'know...training thing?"

Her tail had perked up hopefully, swishing back and forth.

"Umm, my...dazzling personality?" Six tried, immediately knowing that joke had been a mistake and instinctively taking a step back before she held up her hands and added a hasty "O-only kidding! I just, I mean, if you gave me a chance..."

Her tail drooping a little, Six pouted and furrowed her brow for a moment as Velia retreated before deciding to follow after. Sprinting after her to catch up, the girl tried "B-but what if I am something special and you just uh, haven't seen it yet!"

Catching up with Velia, she slowed to a walk, panting a bit as she added "You never know until you try...and all that!"

"Oh, but--but I mean--" She tried to interrupt Velia, hastily adding "Oh, right!" a little too enthusiastically at the mention of Oukami. She'd heard of Kami going missing but this also wasn't the first time. Call her an optimist, but she wasn't too worried.

Remembering vaguely that the last time he'd disappeared it had been with his overly handsy cousin, Six 'helpfully' piped up "Hey, I bet I know where he is! Have you checked with his, uhhh, cousin?" while she clambered to keep up with Velia, having to duck to avoid branches and sidestepping rocks and things.

"Wow!" Six marveled as she came to a stop, clearly not picking up on the underlying message of 'go the ******** away', "So they like, hit you for it? You have some weeeeird family. I mean, uhh--no offense though! Weird can be good! Hey, I have an idea, why don't I help you look? I'm great at looking for things!"

"Oh." Six said, seeming rather deflated by the suggestion. She hesitated as they made their way to the fork in the paths, glancing at Velia and trying to think of some excuse to stick around.

"Uhh, but hey! I mean, wouldn't it better if we looked together? Because then, uhh...oh..." She heaved a sigh, giving it up when she saw the look on the woman's face. She had nothing. Adding a much less eager "I'll go look, then," the girl trudged off reluctantly.
