Welcome to Gaia! ::

Absorbing Maggie and Janani's words, the soldier put her head in her hands, curling her fingers tightly into her damp hair. When the pain didn't make her wake up from what she had been half-heartedly hoping was a dream, a windy sigh gusted out of her.

"This is real."

Looking up with troubled eyes, Tarma looked from one female face to another.

"Tell me...what is it you do here?"

*Maggie just looks at Janani for a moment, as she tells Tarma of her search for her brother. She'd never heard the tall angel make mention of that before ...*

*Pulling herself from her thoughts, she returns her gaze to Tarma* Often we try te teach each other about our different worlds and times, te learn what we can from one another.

This place can be ... frightening, at times. But many of us have become very dear te each other. Truly, I am grateful for the friends I have found here. .. *she trails off and looks back to Janani. She doesn't like to pry, but she can't keep herself from asking*

Do ye truly think the Brink may help ye find him? Yer brother?

((She might be a while, so I'll continue.))

Janani looks at Maggie with a curious look.

Well...I was looking for him the first time this place brought me to it...

She, honestly, doesn't know if it will help. He was an odd sort of Shard. Then again...it probably did much good to do some soul searching.

This place has many interesting...properties.

Janani's curious look does not fade. In fact, a somewhat delighted smile comes to her face.

Are you curious?

She hasn't really talked about her search for her brother. Her parents might know, but they were it. She sees no reason to hide it from those present within this place. If Maggie was indeed thinking about a curious prying, Janani wouldn't object.

Janani shakes her head.

It's not that I'm worried about him. He's a lot stronger than me.

Janani sighs.

I just miss him... He left our village because...we were different. I stayed and became a traditional Bind.

Janani looks over her shoulder at her wings, holding WhiteRose all the closer, if at all possible. Still, the plushie shows no signs of being near breaking.

Our, specific...Angelic race has a long, childhood phase. In a sense, I'm still in it. We were...short in stature for our people. However...as anything, they changed and realized their more human childhood treatment was wrong. I just want... I just want to bring my brother back.

Janani smiles as she reaches her right arm out to Maggie. It's a sign of acceptance. She's giving the woman the same sign of friendship as she had given Tarma. A good handshake.

Your assistance would be much appreaciated! ...as I know naught if this place can help in that way...

Janani gives Maggie a nod.

((I think Tarma's gone now, anyway whee If she's not, I'll revise this post ninja I just hope she knows to contact me or a mutual aquaintance to get my attention ninja Later! G'luck at the wedding if I dont' see ya before then!))

Janani is sad to see Maggie go, but it did feel good to get things off her chest. She looks around, sad to see nobody there. She lets out a sigh as she begins playing with her WhiteRose...until she, too, fades out from the Brink.

Luana appeared. It had been some time since her last arrival in the Brink. Her hair was now cut too short for her ponytail, but also short enough to stay out of the way. She held a long steel staff in her hands with what looked like a closed flower bud at one end, and she was examining it closely. She was still dressed in her normal attire, with the exception of the chalk dust.

Luana suddenly realized where she was.

"Oh, hi, Cora." She smiled. "I'm doing well. And you?"

She stood the staff up on end, and the bud was about a foot above her head.
