Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fae's body jerked in tension as another vibration was sent through the ground. She pursed her lips and exchanged looks with the others there. Nodding to Nyxa as she hurried inside, she started to rub Pueblo's back gently.

Lifting her head, Pueblo rubbed her eyes and blinked. "Tsu?" she murmured, rather shy to let her voice get so loud. Her hand groped the air in a childish wave.

Without deliberation, she knew what she needed to do. It was clear Pueblo wasn't going anywhere. "I can stay here and watch the Aerandir," she offered.

"Well, if Fae's up for looking after the kids, I can head out with Ieyasu, lend a hand," Kiro said after Ieyasu made his return. That knot of worry in his stomach was getting worse and worse as the next rumble shook them... Definately not good...!

Tsu raised his hand to wave at Bobo as he heard her, then turning his attention to Osu and Luc and waving at them too. His movements were slow and worried, but he was intrigued by how excited Osu seemed to be about it all... He was definately a strange guy...! But at the next batch of movement and sound, Tsu clung tightly to his guardian again, his tufty tail wrapped tightly about Kiro's waist in apprehension.

Kami burst in through the doors shortly after Foenix and Nehanda, an incredibly frightened Keanu gathered up in her arms, Mazin following hurriedly behind the pair. She looked grealty flustered, and Keanu was whimpering softly, wrapped up in a blanket with his head buried in his mother's front. Kami wobbled, like the others did, as the horrid shaking occured, hurrying into the building. "Geez!" she huffed, rubbing Keanu's back, "What on EARTH is happening!?" she panted softly, her heart racing. She skittered over to 'Yasu and Kiro, flustered as they made their plans. She had become freaked out the moment the quakes start, and certainly hadn't wanted to stay alone in the house, which was why she had rushed to the centre...

Keanu sniffled, and glanced back through frightened eyes, and seemed almost relieved to see some familiar faces. The quaking wasn't settling with him very well, the first had knocked him over, and the noise made him panicky overall.

After the second wave of ground rumbling had stretched through the islands, Syrenrei appeared rather undramatically with Delta. Typically the woman was a little nervous and clutzy around others, but when she appeared she need calm. Kneeling she set down her daughter on one of the cushions and smothed out her skirt, looking around her. She would have rather not brought her here because all the adults appeared to be just as panicked as their children, and their fear only scared the children more.

Syrenrei smoothed out Delta's hair and handed her her favorite doll. "You stay here, okay? I'm going to talk to the other adults for a minute." Delta had become surprisingly quiet- the fear of the shaking earth had silenced her. As scared as she was, though, she wasn't going to let her mommy think she couldn't be left alone five feet away! She managed a small, somewhat brave smile.

So... only a few to go. Sounded like a plan. Kiro thought he could remember where they all lived, and failing that he was sure Ieyasu would have an idea. Or, the alternative was beating doors in until they found everyone...

Carefully, he peeled Tsu from around his waist. "I'll be back soon, okay?" The neko-jin glanced towards Fae, before giving Tsu a little push towards her. "Go on, Fae and Bobo will look after you, okay? I'll be right back."

"Pomise..?" Tsu murmured, his eyes wide with worry. It wasn't enough that the ground made stupid noises, but now Keeo was running away without him!

Kiro nodded, patting the small child on the head for a moment before getting to his feet and quickly making for the door, not doubting the other wouldn't be far behind.

((Kiro has just fled to the Settlement))

Alyosha looked up, very worried. "Osero" he said quietly. "Help? ..." he thought for a minute. "We have a 'rescue party' set up here.. perhaps you could lend a hand over on Ar'Idil?" he paused and looked at the tall Aerandir. "Be careful, Osero, really, get out of the sky as soon as you possibly can and stay low as you fly." he said, cryptically. "Once you're done, stay put." he added.

Ieyasu nodded his head to Kami as she approached him. "I'm not sure.. Glad to see you're ok though. I'm just about to go help round everyone else up. I'll be back soon." Heading over to Osu, he crouched down. ...Why was it not entirely surprising that Osu didn't seem in the least bit scared by all of this? If the situation wasn't so serious, Ieyasu could have laughed. He smiled at the kid. "Osu, I've got to go out for a little bit. You stay here with Lucius and the others, ok? I'll be back soon."

"Ok!" Osu was glad that Yassu wasn't going to take him home. He could stay here and play longer! Looking to Luc, he screwed up his face in thought. "Dunno. There's loads of peeple though! The ground is being funny, too." Osu flicked his sodden tail back and forth. He didn't quite understand what was going on, but this was interesting!

Standing up, Ieyasu looked to Alyosha as he listed those who were missing. He didn't know all of them, but there were only so many houses in the village, and there were some he knew were empty already. Nodding his head, he headed towards the door. As he made his way out, Osero rushed past him into the centre. Well, that was someone else they didn't need to find. Although Aly had said that he'd no doubt be fine anyway. Continuing out, he followed Kiro to the settlement.
