Welcome to Gaia! ::

Not far from the nursery, nor too far from the clusters of sleeping quarters, rests a large domed, open building. Pilars carved from marbled stone hold high the almost enchanting bauble of glittering magic, erected by A'ni to allow natural light into the room but keep it from getting too warm, and to keep out the cold and keep the room lit under alternate conditions.

Make your way past the pilars and you are met with arcs of comfortable seating, all positioned to face in the same direction, though there is simply a pedistal there.

This is where teenage Serpenti will gather with A'ni and Yukio, to expand their knowledge on what it means to be part of the sanctum.

Surprised by her genuine urge to grin, she held out a slender hand. "I'm Mal'ra, but please call me Mal." Turning her attention to the other male before her, she smiled for him as well. "That goes for you too," she commented. Returning her attentions back to Pistol she gestured to the rest of the teens gathered about, "I suppose we all must have questions," she noted. "As well as a craving for friends, maybe?" The question was more directly pointed at Pistol and his friend, but it worked as a good generalisation for the teen serpents lounging about.

Feeling a tad more comfortable than she had when she first arrived, she relaxed her posture a tad more and settled down. Feeling more herself, more confident, she eyed Pistol more thoroughly. Yup, they were defintely similiar in the their coloring. She couldn't help herself... "I love your markings and scale colors," she laughed.

Preslie was loving the crowd of serpenti's she was in the middle of. The group almost seemed to breathe as one body and she felt like a part of something huge. As she moved through she made sure to smile and greet the teens she hadn't met yet. A true social butterfly, Preslie thrived if given attention. Her welcoming smile seemed to draw in other friendly teens and she was happy to chat away with no thought of why they were there in the first place.

Magenta though was miserable. She kept her head down as she followed her giggly roommate to what she hoped was a seat in the back. She had smiled meekly at a few teens that had quickly been sucked into the Preslie whirlwind of socialization. She quietly stayed on the outskirts of the twittering circle of chat, constantly turning back to the middle of the chasm. This better be worth it. She was already counting down to when she could go back to her quiet little comfort zone.

Boone settled into his seat and glanced around at all the other serpenti, He couldn't help but wonder what they were really doing here, what were they going to learn and would it answer all the questions running thru his mind?
A sweet voice pulled him out of his thoughts, he turned his head and noticed pistol looking at him with a grin on his face!! He looked up to see a girl that looked alot like Pistol. Hmmm i wonder if they are related? and if they are do i have any family out there? "Sorry, daydreaming!!! Hi I'm Boone!!!" he extends his hand "It's nice to meet You Mal!!" It seemed like their little group was growing, Boone couldn't help but smile, having friends made it seem more bearable!

Pistol noticed the lingering hands too and glanced slyly at Boone at back to Mal. He quickly looked down to hide a smirk but didn't say anything. "Nah, we just met outside. So a whole, minute maybe?" He was feeling much more confident now that he felt like part of a group. He scanned the restless crowd again, not really looking for anything but courious about eveyone at the same time. He started to wish nametags had been handed out so he didn't feel so lame not knowing anyone.
