Welcome to Gaia! ::

"So you ARE my cousin!" Soho said cheerfully, taking the offered hand, then drawing the other feien into a quick hug. "That means we can talk and play and go on vacations together! It'll be fun!" She said as she pulled back, keeping a hold of the hand with both of hers. Bad attitude she could handle, hot brother... oooh, ths was going to be fun!

Silva's eyes were on Brunswick. And when Aleric moved closer he glanced over, raising an eyebrow.

"They don't seem to take family lightly." Aleric said softly as he read the emotions in the room. "He doesn't like our claim on her."

"He'll have to deal with it. This is my territory." Silva said calmly. "If she wants domination it's damn well going to be under my control."

Aleric blinked. "So you'll let her have some control?" Their voices were soft, almost imperceptable. But if you were listening closely you could hear.

"Hell, why not? Might be entertaining. But she'll have to earn it." Silva said, warming up to the idea quickly. "Every little piece of it she'll have to fight for. Not that there's much to control on Gaia. And when she runs into some of the other feien, she'll be grateful I'm here."

"Averno... and Sunil?"

"To name a few." A tiny grin pulled at his lips at that thought. Averno being dangerous. Yeah, that was amusing. For him, that was.

Nick looked over at the hesitating Gala, wondering why she hadn't moved forward. The reason he and Nack hadn't was obvious. They weren't feien. And as non-feien they kept to the background unless the feien wanted to talk to them. Was it a matter of class? Well it didn't really matter, since they were Silva's underlings. His "boys." But the wolf boy leaned over, whispering. "You okay? Seems to me you should take a break when you get the chance. Silva doesn't give them easily."

Brunswick shrugged negligently at Marne's repeated complaint. His grin was wide and wicked, though. "Of course I keep refusing to tell her," he explained to Bavaria. "Why would I want to share her or Soho with Berlin? You would think she'd be flattered that I wanted to keep her all to myself, huh?"

Starting at Nick's quiet concern, Galatea offered him a wan smile and boldly reached out to touch her hand to his briefly. "I am fine, thank you," she murmured. "Not at all tired yet." She hesitated and her eyes flicked back to Brunswick and Bavaria for a moment. The expression on her face was painfully easy to read; she had no particular skills in lying. Nervousness, reticience, discomfort, wariness.
