Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alyosha nodded. "In the kichen, walk rigth through it and at the back there's a store. there's plenty of dried foods and, amongst that, several sacks of rice. I haven't really had the time to sort it since I came back from the mainland but you should be able to find it."

He smiled. "How are your jars? any sign of them glowing yet?"

"Ah, right, got it. Thanks."

At Alyosha's question, he grinned suddenly.
"Fine, I think. They glow? Eh.. I don't think so - they weren't when I left the house."

Slipping his bag down off of his shoulder, he loosened the clip and the drawstring before pulling out the stoppered glass jar. Holding it up, he examined it closely.

"Nope... just looks like an ordinary bit of fluff still."

Alyosha nodded. "When they're ready to "hatch" they glow, sort of a blue glue and tend to.. well explode the jar... so be careful..."

Alyosha looked down the corridor into the centre, hearing several people in the main room. "Have you met any of the other owners yet? Or is this your first foray out?"

He was young, this one, thought Alyosha, pretending to look past Ieyasu. He pondered for a moment, then put a hand on Ieyasu's shoulder, leaning towards his ear.

"They don't know what you are, I suspect, but I do, as I'm sure you've guessed." he muttered quietly. "Myobu or Nogit?" he asked, darkly, his long fingers clamping tight on Ieyasu's shoulder.

Pueblo stared at the Aerandir as he circled around her, clucking and puffing his feathers and all that whatnot. She shrunk, watching his tail for a moment, then quickly back to him, wondering what he was exactly doing. Then, as he stretched out to n** at her wing, she jumped back spastically and shrilled for her guardian's rescue.

Fae listened to her friend, giving her complete eye contact. "Yeah, I've noticed it's fullness, too," she agreed. "Dunno what it could be, though...." She trailed off, half of that rather hinting. Only for a few seconds, her eyes darted to the sounds of the other people in the building, perferably nearby, moing about. Her eyes squinted, then shook her head. Naw, she couldn't be here. Could she?

Shaking her attention back to Nyxa, she paid attention again. "Foenix and I had a little get-together to talk about improvements on my home. I needed to ask Alyosha about chimneys and window seats," she absently spoke. Just as Pueblo cried for her attention, Fae looked over at the desperate owl/wolf being danced around by Lucius. She giggled, then walked over, giving a look tonyxa to follow. "It's alright, Pueblo. This is Lucius." She stretched her hand out to give the rooster a friendly pat on the head. "I...don't know what he's exactly doing," she looked to Nyxa for help. "But I'm sure he's just playing with ya. It's okay, go ahead. He's real playful once youget to know him," she insisted.

Then, something lurked in the shadows of the Centre. Or at least, Fae could sense the energy of another come into the room. She looked around until she spotted apair of cat eyes, peering out to her. She blinked. Since when did Alyosha have a cat? She held turned her attention away from the two Aerandir and held her hands out, already sqwatting. "C'mere, kitty!"

She looked at Fae indignantly, although this was a look every other cat gave when called. Kitty indead! If she could, she would have blushed... this was degrading in a way, right up there with walking into the men's bathroom on accident when she was younger... twice. In a row. Gah!

So now the question was was it better to hide or to scale Mt. Fae and take her chances? Either way she needed to figure out a way to converse with someone, but neither choice was going to provide that opportunity. After a moment's thought she ventured towards Fae a bit, eyeing the gryphons.

Mind you, she knew they wouldn't attack her, but at the same time she couldn't help but be afraid. Everything was a lot bigger now.

Nyxa chuckled and watched Pueblo and Luc, nodding solemnly to Fae, "Ah, I'm sure he won't mind. I'm pretty sure you can do what you like, and a chimney and window seats sound lovely." Her eyes landed on the poor cat that came tumbling in from nowhere, and she glanced warily at Luc. At times he got a little.. overzealous in his play, and he needed to be reprimanded.

Luc tried to console the poor creature that seemed so frightened of him. Didn't she understand that they were of the same race? Tilting his head to and fro, he approached Pueblo once more, intent on her tail. He paid no heed to the new cat, instead focusing solely on Pueblo. Chirping softly, he plopped down in front of her with earnest eyes. He didn't hurt her, did he? He didn't think he had. He raised his front paw and waved it at her in a charming manner.

Nyxa shook her head at them, turning her attention back to Fae and the strange cat that had taken up residence in her lap.
