Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sim tired of just sitting at the bar, watching other people stare it him. While he did love this sort of attention, it can get really old, really fast. After stirring his drink a little longer, he downed the last of his four seasons and got up.

Before he sauntered out of the bar, the spun on his heels, did several bows and exited without so much as batting an eye. He had almost left without much incident until the ship blew its horn, startling the teen and causing him to trip on his own feet.

He fell, face first onto the ship's floor, but easily got back up. He dusted himself, straightened his clothing and headed back to his room.

Sim strolled along the hall, peering out the portholes to stare at the waters every now and then. Somehow, he had expected to get violently ill from the waters, but was pleasantly surprised to find he was still... on his feet. Perhaps that was another of the qualities he had inherited from his mother?

As he walked, he heard a group of giggling teenagers chatter on about the cruise, and how there weren't many 'drop dead gorgeous guys' around. While this comment was in no way directed at him, Sim felt a little slighted, he was confident in his ability to look fantastic in any article of clothing, perhaps his style was just too advanced? Yes, that must have been it.

He sighed, it was a shame that his fool's act didn't work as well when he was dressed differently. That and he didn't quite feel much like acting the fool as well. But tonight was special, he'd make an exception. With that in mind, the red head returned to his room and began unpacking.

"That's great, and I'm sure if you just spend more time with Elijah on the cruise, he'll come around? After all... he's not a kid anymore." Aurora grinned, kind of glad he hadn't noticed that part. She hadn't exactly meant to say it, after all. Wasnt' even a big deal, and she wasn't dwelling on it.

Of course not!

Aurora looked around a bit, adding, "I hope you don't plan on staying in here a lot. It looks kind of lonely in here..."

"Aa..." Another intelligent response. So, Ronin was there too when... that happened. Ura opened his mouth ready for another, probably single syllable, response when the horn echoed in the distance and pretty much sent the teen back at the wall again. Holy crap! Ura suddenly realized his eyes were wide again and his breathing again a bit eratic. And it didn't help him having lovely bags under his eyes, he looked a bit crazed spawled against the wall. Surprisingly Ura didn't even feel the jolt, signling movement. Then again he was against a wall, but... yeah.

"Woah.. wha huh?" He was going somewhere? Ura's eyes darted about, a bit confused at the little boys question and request - and.. also, still looking a bit crazed - until his eyes finally noticied something on the table. Huh. Taking another look back at Ronin, he inched closer and snatched said paper into his hands. "Oh.. a dinner..." Maybe thats what the horn signaled, he honestly had no idea how cruises worked and all. Then again, what told him he knew how ships functioned. Then again, he felt like he did.

"So .. um. sure?" Finally getting to Ronin's request with a raised eyebrow. and still slightly confused look in his mismatched eyes. "I guess we have to go to this dinner thing and dress nicely for it." Ura was unsure how the boy would be able to understand 'formal wear' but, then again.. children were surprisingly intelligent at times. So, thats probably why chiri packed him a nice suit ... and then it struck the teen that he was going to have to go outside and into public and he could be eaten alive. His eyes shot downward, looking at his chest. What if they found out? NO! That would be uber bad! Panic again circled in his head, oh gawd.. he couldn't let that happen! Maybe he won't go... but they would suspect something was wrong and try to figure it out which would mean that they would definatly find out.

- And him being paniced wasn't helping either. He glanced back at Ronin and gave him a smile and a bit of a nervous laugh. "Uh.. er... perhaps we should get changed, na?" Oh yeah, play it cool Ura. Nothing was wrong.

Ura's eyes widened at the accusation. Well, it was a true. His mouth ready to open and blurt out a bit 'no' but, that wouldn't help in his case. "Er... no, no. I just haven't been getting a lot of sleep." He replied instead. Yes, cover up the bigger problem with a smaller one. Sleep, bah.. who needed sleep, not Ura!

As for the earlier inquiry. "Those look nice, yup." Ura nodded while heading towards his own bag. Where was that suit, he hummed to himself while rummaging through his somewhat neat dufflebag. Aha ~ He smiled, pulling out the nice black pants. Further digging got him to a nice long sleeve black shirt and a deep red tie. Awesome.

"Um, thanks for the advice..." Ura blinked while buttoning his shirt, a bit unsure how to answer about all the sleep. Well, at least it steered everything away from ... that.


The teen continued to change in silence, as he expected the other boy to be, trying to figure out how he was going to handle all this. It also didn't occur to him that there might be other Simu children on board, besides Ronin, until Rora was mentioned. Ura glared at the wall at the mention of her name and let out a small hiss. His attention and gaze back on Ronin, Ura fiddled with his tie and frowned. "Listen.. Ronin. You shouldn't waste your time with girls like Rora. They'll just end up breaking your heart. Best to find someone more sensible." Course, he had yet to find one, not like he was looking. But whatever.

The teen sighed, giving Ronin another look over. "Wanna borrow a tie? I have a black one still in my bag you're more than welcome to borrow. Might look nice." He attempted a smile.

Ura nodded, in a bit of response to the subject of Rora, which he now decided he didn't want to discuss further - besides also not realizing, hey she was here too - and also about the tie. "Sure, no problem.. they're actually rather easy when you get used to it."

Grabbing the black tie from his bag, the teen bent down to fasten it around his neck. Few second later - 'cause no details about tieing a tie really have to be given - it was straight and official looking. "There we go." Ura beamed, ruffling the younger boy's hair. Which then prompted him to realize his hair needed to be done.

Glancing around until he finally spotted the mirror, Ura frowned slightly realizing.. wow, he looked like crap. The black of his outfit didn't seem to help accent the black under his eyes in any way... but looked slightly cool. And his hair. His hands shot up to his head and undid the elastic band that held it in place. A brush, a brush! He needed a brush and meandered to his bag again to get his hair back into order.
