Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jasmine smiles meekly and sits up easily, pulling the sheet with her modestly despite everything. She looks over the floor for his clothes, spotting the shoes and socks he'd kicked off near the door.

"There're your socks and shoes," she says, pointing out to them, "My clothes are in the bathroom, though." Without another word, she gets to her feet and heads towards the door to fetch said clothes, bringing the sheet with her. Her tail is visibly swaying beneath the sheet, and her wings are folded tightly behind her, though outside the sheet.

Jasmine wastes no time getting dressed again, and is, for once, taken through a mirror by the hand instead of off her feet. It's a nice change, actually. She smiles inwardly when they arrive, looking down at the box.

"I'll get us something to drink," she says with a smile, "It's a valid excuse to go to the kitchen." She looks around a bit, then nods, "Alright, thanks."

What neither notice, though, is that Prince Charming is no longer in the room. Were they to look under the table, he wouldn't be there. Were they to look under the bed, he wouldn't be there either.

Jasmine goes to the door, and heads out into the hallway to go to the kitchen.

Jasmine walks into the kitchen and goes casually to the fridge. Ecavi is standing by a counter with various baking supplies on it, and she does turn around to look at Jasmine when the dragon comes into the room. She doesn't say anything, but if Jasmine were to look up she'd know something is wrong. She grabs some lemonade from the fridge and puts it on the counter, going for some glasses.

Jasmine gives a brief smile to her mother once she's filled the glasses and has put the juice away. She grabs the glasses, and heads back out of the kitchen. Ecavi has turned back to what she was doing, though her full attention of not on it.

In the living room, as Jasmine walks by, Ceri is sitting on the floor looking under the couch. She's murmuring inaudibly, but anyone with a pet would recognize the gesture as trying to lure something from beneath the couch. She does notice it, but only in passing.

"I brought some lemonade," she says, coming back into the room.

Jasmine takes a seat on the bed as well, only sipping at her glass for a moment. She nods when Rhine explains where he put things, her eyes going to the nightstand, and to her closet.

"That's fine," she smiles, "I'm not too concerned about that."

She looks back at Rhine when he asks about the cat, raising an eyebrow thoughtfully. They'd left him in the room, but he's not there now.

"Oh no," Jasmine mumbles, putting a hand over her eyes, "He's in the living room."

"I'll go with you," Jasmine offers, standing up and putting her juice on the table beside the bed. She does hesitate when Rhine explains his second reason for going to get the cat himself, her mother. She shakes her head and then follows after Rhine anyway.

"I'll still go with you," she mutters, following Rhine down the hall to the living room. Her eyes fall upon Ceri, the small day thule sitting on the floor and looking under the couch.

"Kitty, kitty," Ceri says loudly, as if increasing the volume increases the attraction of the cat to the caller, "Pstpstpst!" The happy little thule has been at this for several minutes now, but has not given up. She loves cats, especially live ones, and will wait an eternity to see Prince Charming! Or, so she thinks. Her twin, Myze, looks on knowing that Ceri will get impatient or distracted soon. The night thule is sitting on the chair in the living room by the window and door to the playroom with her starry blanket over her.

When Rhine and Jasmine reach the living room and decide to start there, Ecavi notices them from the kitchen and decides that it's time to intervene. She comes from the kitchen and stands in the hallway facing the two dragons.

"I think it's time for Rhine to go home, Jasmine," she says simply but seriously. While she makes no outright comment, she makes no effort to hide the fact she's not happy about something they've done (or seem to have done.)

All eyes turn to Rhine when he steps infront of Jasmine and talks back to Ecavi, Jasmine's, Ceri's and Myze's. Jasmine and Myze share a similar surprised look when he speaks, but Ceri only looks on with innocent curiousity. Ecavi's wings stand still behind her when Rhine steps infront of Jasmine, and her eyes stay square on him as he speaks. And again she let's him finish before replying.

"Rhine, when you arrived here this morning you spoke to me first. Do you even remember what you said now? It's only been a couple of hours," Ecavi replies with the same seriousness in her voice from when she spoke to Jasmine, "You said you respected me, and that you wanted my trust and respect."

She pauses, letting the words sink in but also carefully considering her next words.

"Jasmine is my responsibility, you are not. If I want to speak with her, I don't need to go through you, Rhine," Ecavi continues, earning a glare from her daughter, "I'm not going so far as to make assumptions about why you were gone, but the fact is that you did go. You and Jasmine both know that she isn't supposed to leave without telling me, without asking. All that you need to know right now is that I know you left and visiting hours are over."

Her tone of voice is also honest and without waver, though with more anger than that of Rhine. There's nothing that she has to accuse them of, only leaving, just as she's claimed. All that there is left to do is stare Rhine down, and ponder furiously over ways to stop mirrors being used as transportation in the house- not because she knows that's how they left, but because she knows that it's possible for him to come and go in that manner.

Jasmine stands behind Rhine guiltily, unable to keep glaring at her mother. She knows what happened herself, she knows that she isn't supposed to go out without telling her mother. Even when it's Rhine that takes her, she always has the choice of coming back right away. Not to mention the usual assumptions made will, this time, be right. With a groan she puts a hand to her head.

"Rhine, I'll handle this," she mutters.

The hand partially covering Jasmine's eyes is the one with the ring on it, and as soon as she hears what Rhine says her eyes widen and her hand drops. Ecavi, however, doesn't move her gaze from Rhine when he speaks. What he says is the same as looking at her hand, for it doesn't take a genius to guess what he's saying.

She doesn't say anything else to Rhine, just watches him coldly as he finally says his goodbye and goes for the door. Ceri looks rather upset sitting on the floor, but Myze looks mildly entertained sitting on the chair.

"I know," Jasmine murmurs to Rhine, simply standing there and not really reacting as he leaves. This is just great..

"You stay put," Ecavi says to Jasmine, and she follows Rhine to make sure he gets all the way to the door.

Ecavi taps her foot impatiently behind him when he, yet again, speaks rudely to her. Her expression doesn't change when he speaks, she just looks continuously displeased with the boy as he backs out of the house.

"Goodbye," she returns the farewell, closing the door before he straightens up from his bow. Jasmine, who usually doesn't listen to her mother, has moved down the hall a bit to watch them at the door. When her mother turns around still looking furious, she gives a weak smile.

"Um, it's my birthday?" Jasmine says, in hopes of avoiding an arguement.
