Welcome to Gaia! ::

Macyn moved alittle bit so that Aponi could see over his shoulder with out any trouble, considering he wasn't super tall he was sure the other would have little trouble seeing.

Luca scoffed at the half-assed reply from the blonde beneath him. "If I can take that as a 'no,' then should I even bother listening to anything else you have to say?," he sneered. Than's answer had left him with no other explanations to all of his odd behavior, and Luca did not appreciate being left confused, with only a shake of the head to read into.

Rayen caught Luca's eye as he passed - what an interesting creature he was! If only there were more animals like him out in the wild, instead of just deer, foxes, rabbits, and other animals he considered garden variety. He could really expand his collection, then! Luca didn't even notice the towel until Than lurched underneath him, setting him off balance as he attacked with the damned thing. Luca, having been distracted, fell backwards with Than's movements, slipping off of the boy as he tried to knock his hands away.

Jazzie giggled eyeing Malachite innocently. "Nothing!" she batted her eyelashes sweetly before falling into a giggling fit.

Dizzy chuckled as she watched him collapse back. She took note of how his hair fell. Out of the many styles of hair se'd seen on men that was one of her favorites. She let him pull her out of her chair and to the birthday boy. "Fine by me!" She smiled and locked her arm with his.

((Sorry Adrian, I was out of town for the past week, Recently got home actually, to my computer completely exploding. Yep, all my processor had no time to survive or make it's time. (sorry for that)))

Raissen inclined his head. There were few places he could think of where such an eclectic bunch of individuals conviened. It was a refreshing turn from his usual pace. Many more...vertically challenged individuals as well, he noted with a smile at the younger boys and girls present.
"It's good to meet you both." He gazed at Soco's outfit with appreciation, a little confused by the ears, but pleased nonetheless. His father's...traits ensured nothing really suprised him too much as fas as appearances were concerned.

Within the box for Malachite on this special day was a gift from all the members of the Chegrin household. Sitting on the bottom were two free passes to the spa resort Raissen was currently employed in, which included endless massages, baths, facials, manicures, and pedicures anyone could ask for, they were three day passes. On top of those, was a small thin silver chain necklace with a pendant containing a small diamond shaped piece of Malachite stone. A matching headpiece went with it, to be worn on the forehead, the stone gracing a spot just above the eyebrows, hand made from A'Hallei.

From the raccoon, there were two small ceramic portraits swaddled in packing material. Miniature, but accurate almost to perfection, was a portrait of Malachite himself, still as a kiddlet, with eyes made of the same cut of stone. Since the portrait was unpainted, the eyes blazed green against the white of the skin. The other portrait was of Adrian. Both were signed and dated on the bottom. All these gifts were held in that small package, all one against each other.

A'Hallei had adored the green stone from the moment he discovered what it was. It held such an intense color, such a beautiful color, he had to use it with the thin silver jewlery. He felt a connection to the green stone as well, and was pleased to include it. Dian had purchased a large chunk of the stone, and used various cuts of it for the portraits and jewlery, there still was some left at home.

"This is awesome!" Mal's voice cut in to Raissen's thoughts as soon after he jumped up to grasp the adult again in an embrace. He folded his arms about the slender teen and gave him a congragulatory squeeze.

"You're welcome." He said quietly as he gently touched their foreheads together as he released Malachite. The boy was so sweet, so caring, so unlike many people he knew.
"It looks fabulous on you." He offered in addition to the little silver headpiece.

Luca gritted his teeth as the "Oooohs" and "Ahhhhs" bounced off of his ear drums like thunder. Ah audience? An enthusiastic audience?! He had only ever wanted an audience if they were staring, wide-eyed, in shock or fear, and even then, he only ever ultimately wanted solitude. At least he had been left relatively alone in the corner earler, that had certainly been better than being the damn main attraction. This blonde kid just had to provoke him...

And how it seemed another item had been thrown into the already very messy equation. What was with this apparent obsession with messy things inside cans, anyways? A frothy white cream sprayed out all about him, some landing on his nose and sliding down to his lips. Darting his tongue out, he licked up the cream to find it edible, though rather bland, in his opinion. Shooting his hand up, he put his thumb over the nozzle as than sprayed, causing the cream to shoot out in all directions.
