Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gil nodded "I'm sure it's fine but I bet you'd need waterproof everything if you had to live in a waterfall village, but clever having such a hidden entrance to your village" he said approvingly as Enkidu gunrted at the water with distate.

Oassu frowned "I never really found our fashions so bad, maybe just a little less extravagant than your elven styles we don't have so many colours" he said "Still sure if you think it's ok, I guess Elven fashions allow me to wear a little more unusual clothes" he said

Zadina shook his head "Aww you're not scary at all little Yenytai you're adorable you can totally come with us" he said happily. "Lets not think about people falling and going splat lets just hop into the house and play with Melanae a bit before we have to leave" he said.

Jeckhart sighed "Big operations like that are hard to prevent, we would lose a lot of people, it is sad but there are more demons and people willing to embrace the darker elements of their natures rather than their true forms so while we may outmatch some of them we don't have the manpower to just destroy bases like the one Hebal was taken to, I'm assured operations are being taken against the base that kidnapped you though right now" he said

Satoshi laughed jumping into the water without a moment of hesitation. "Where do you think the village originally got its name 'The hidden waterfall village from from" she grinned gesturing for Enkidu to jump in "Come on lad, your a fiend. It's funny how all it takes to throw you guys off a bit is a pool of water" she smirked kicking her legs seeing as the water was too deep for someone of her smaller size to touch the bottom.

Felina nodded putting the jacket around onto Oassu "Yep that looks good on you already. Theres a lot of money to be made out of clothes and elven clothes are seen as more valuble than human clothes. Probably because a lot of your shops sell more cheap stuff than the expensive high quality robes" she guessed gently turning him to face the mirror.

Yenytai smiled moving onto her tiptoes in attempt to appear sneaky "Hiiya Melly. We come to see you for play time since Zadeena is here for a little bit. Though Zadeena taing Amanay away for little while soon too" she greeted the viera with a pounce knocking her to the ground.

Alpha yawned watching Hebal unlocking the gate for them "Yeah it's the time to be happy indeed, it's been a while since I've been able to spend any real time with any member of my family. Have only seen Mu once in the past few years so should be good and I'll tell you what, I'll get you both a bag of popcorn later"

Hebal cheered and nodded her head approvingly at Alpha "Sounds like a good plan though I would rather just have some candyfloss as it taste better than popcorn" she answered skipping through the gates and halfway down the path "Don't be silly Jeckhart, you're more than welome to come in I'm sure. My mums had the whole crew in the house before and been ok with it"

Ardie laughed helping Yenytai up onto her feet in order to free Melanae "She's just really excited because Zadina's here again and until your ungrounded when they go away its just going to be me and Yenytai able to play. Playing is more fun with more people she groaned"

Amane nodded her head excitedly "Yeahuh Zadina and momma are gonna take me far away to see a big flashy show of people doing tricks called a circus" she explained hopping up the stairs for her friends room "Melanae has a really nice house, her room is especially nice so you should come see"

Melanae hesitared taking in the news not quite sure whether it was a good or bad thing "Well lucky you I guess so long as they won't be making you work or face any dangerous stuff while your there. But how have you been Zadina, still travelling?" she asked picking herself up and giving him a hug.

Gil nodded making slow progress against the water "Well that's mighty courteous of your village, does someone have to stand there all day to give out towels?" he said groaning as he ducked under the waterfall "Gonna need to let the water out of my armour when we get in" he said as Enkidu swam past him.

Oassu chuckled "Fine then lets go check berets and then get you some shoes, we can't spend all day here or Hayate will get fed up waiting with that carriage for us" he said feeling significantly warmer in his new clothes before removing them "Right now lets pay for them as the whole double layering think was getting a bit hot, I'll change once I've paid" he said.

Zadina nodded examining the house "Yenytai is right this is a nice house, I especially like some of the art on your walls" he said returning the hug "I've been fine Melanae we went to a Grian Skycity called Kunec and saw a big tournament there which Sir Gilgamesh won" he said reaching inside his cloak "Oh also I got you this for the Dragon Festival" he said pulling out a large rectangular present from inside his cloak.

Jeckhart nodded "Very well then and I imagine candyfloss will be available at the circus as well, I do hope Amane will enjoy her trip though" he said following Hebal up to the doors "What is your mother called by the way? Does she have any house rules?" he asked nervously.

Satoshi shook her head reaching out and taking Gil's hand so to guide him through the waterfall "See now that wasn't so bad was it, thats the hardest part over as its only going to get shallower" she smiled petting Enkidu as he swam around her "Theres a drying room just past the enterence that is open tp the public full of towels and hot air being blown in. Theres also a changing room if needed"

Felina laughed "Now now Hayate is a big boy, I'm sure he knows how to keep himself busy while waiting for us and its not like we're taing that long really" she stated spying the few berets in stock while trying not to focus just yet on the boots "It's probably because the heating is on that your warm with the layers plus the spell used"

Yenytai tiltedher head not having noticed the artwork that had been put on the ceiling "Yenytai is guessing someone in Melly's family likes making pretty pictures. How long is Melly in prison for anyway. Yenytai doesn't think you've been that naughty" she asked looking at the presents "Whats in the paper? Yenytai wants to open"

Alpha nodded "Yep though in fancier terms it says that princess Felina has requested her presence and in return will provide with additional summoner training. I think its more a case of telling her mum that rather than going to the circus so she's less mad about the whole thing" he whispered guessing Xyleena would be unhappy.

"Yep thats basically it, if she knew it was just a plain simple holiday while she couldn't stop me she would give me a good long lecture/telling off by going blah blah blah blah your irresponsible and foolish and all the rest like she usually does when we have a big disagreement. I just want to avoid that if I can and..." Hebal explained trailing off as footsteps could be heared from the other side of the door.

"Umm... Hi Hebal what brings you here? I thought you were off travelling" Came the voice of a confused Xyleena upon opening the door. "In fact don't tell me, come inside and you can tell me properly over a cup of tea with your friends" she offered holding the door open for them.

Melanae shook her head "We don't celebrate the festival, but I know elves do so I got you something you could have as part of your celebration since I didn't think you would be with your family for the season. But if its my room you wanna see follow me, its this one just up the stairs and to the left and theres only a few days left until I'm ungrounded"

Amane grinned bouncing up the stairs ignoring the door Melanae said and opened up the room next door. "And this is her play room. check out all the toys and stuff" she showed him pointing to the many shelves and cupboards full of various toys and games"

Ardie paused resisting the urge to pull out a toy cat from under a pile of toys "Yeah this room is epic if you can find what you want but need to play in the other room as it has way more space" she told Zadina settling for a ball instead

Gil nodded "Well can't see much from here but least it looks sunny, gonna need a bit of that with all this water in the village" he said chuckling as he could almost stand out of the water now while Enkidu hurried ahead to a point he could stand.

Oassu shook his head "A multicoloured beret, that's ridiculous" he lied "But sure I'll take the purple one and that'll be my winter wardrobe sorted out" he said picking up the purple beret and trying it on for good measure.

Zadina giggled "Well at least you have a lot of toys to play with Yenytai but this is quite an impressive collection you have Melanae how come you have so many toys?" he asked "It almost reminds me of my own toy room back home" he said picking up a small elf doll from a shelf.

Jeckhart bowed politely "Thank you Ma'am" he said following Hebal inside "It's certainly an impressive place you have here, my name is Jeckhart by the way, I'm temporarily escorting Hebal's party for now" he said.

"Well come a little closer, the exit into the village couldn't be any closer. You can even see my appartment from here" Satoshi smiled pointing out to one of the taller 3 floor buildings as the cave opened out into the village. "Its almopst always sunny in the summer so you're in luck in terms of the weather, and its always quite hot so you'll dry fast" she added swimming for the land.

Felina shook her head "No it's not, its great for parties or it could be practical like some sort of camouflage beret. Thats technically multicoloured too" she argued poking his nose. "Hmm... it looks like you need a slightly bigger sized one from this angle" she concluded holding up a second one and replacing the first.

Yenytai sighed rubbing her leg where she had fell "Yenytai wish she had some of these toys to use with Milly in forest. Theres no toys in forest so not much to do beyond running around, picking flowers and singing" she told them waving the unicorn she was after in the air triumphantly "Can Yenytai borrow any toys?"
