Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I don't know what to name this little guy." She replied easily. "I have trouble naming my familiars, and I started to..." She pondered the words a moment. "...feel guilty about how long it takes me to name someone..." She looked at Aedus as he took his eyepatch off, and she saw the scar. Huh. She wondered how that happened. Maybe she would ask some day. It wasn't important now though. "Do you have a hard time naming familiars too?"

That was true. Most familiars seemed to understand at least their names. He wondered if they actually understood that as their name, or if was just a sound that they responded too because it made their owner's happy. "Understanding someone's feelings is different then understanding verbal communications though." He sat up and looked at Leto. "I mean, we can understand others. If they're crying, they're sad. If they're laughing, they're happy. ...Or a major a*****e." He joked.

"Your feathers fall out? Huh. I guess I never really thought about it. I guess I do recall hearing something about that in fallen, and certain familiars." He watched the feather get snatched away by the little kit and laughed. "I'm almost afraid to admit... but I really want to touch your wings."

Roshan had been one of the last freshlings to be ushered out as they had greatly enjoyed coloring. With permission they had been allowed to color a few extra pages when so few had been used. Roshan wasn't normally one to do art, but since they were on vacation (of sorts) they might as well.

Now that they were standing before the Torti, Roshan wasn't sure what to make of them. The freshling was entranced by the shimmery crystals adorning the shells of the Torti. Roshan quickly made note of these in the notebook they had been encouraged to take with them.

Kiessi watched the tortie curiously as it hid. They gave a quick nod to the woman and then turned their one eye back toward the land that the other torties were coming from. They lifted a camera and took a quick picture so their siblings could see. They smiled when they realized that they had at least gotten a picture of a tortie before it darted back behind cover.

After contemplating the Torti a bit, Arthur concluded that they brought to mind a description of a familiar species he had read about. The only thing that made him think not was they were supposed to be long thought gone by the Naga that found ancient writings about them. Still, they might be...

Arthur gazed fondly at the creatures as they slowly tucked themselves or way. The young ones seemed rather brash at times, though.

Vega had to admit, that this trip had been amazing. He had made a great new friend, and he had a lot of new familiars. He smiled at Leto as the fallen talked.

leto laughed and went to move a strand of hair to behind his ear.
" well I am not saying that you can have a discussion about philosophy with them, or they understand the reason that you are upset but I think they understand a lot more than some people give them credit for. " Leto answered. " mind you this isn't true for all of the familiar species."

" mmm yep, they fall out and new ones grow in to replace them. It makes courting gifts so much easier. Of course I guess you could always pluck out a more Important flight feather and that could mean more or something....aaaaa y-y-you wan-nt to t-touch them?" Leto turned a bit bright red at the request. Well wasn't like it would harm anything. "Alright. You can"
