Welcome to Gaia! ::

Selaba looked a little worried now. She glanced at her fish suspiciously and decide to wait for it to cool off a bit more before she resumed eating. Then she watched Axel while her fish cooled, to make sure that his mouth didn't catch on fire.

Selaba looked from him to her fish for a moment before deciding to try another bite. The fish had cooled a bit more, so she was able to eat it comfortably.

When she had eaten as much as she could, which was most of the fish, she stretched as sighed happily. Only then did she notice that her mouth felt raw and stung a bit, the effect of being burnt. She hoped that didn't mean her mouth would catch on fire, and decided to get a drink from the stream, just to be sure. She walked over to the cool water and drank deeply, which eased the uncomfortable new senation in her mouth somewhat. It didn't go away entirely, though, and her discomfort showed on her face when she walked back to Axel and sat down beside him.

She listened to the question and thought for a moment before replying, "I guess my mouth's burned." That made sense, though she hadn't expected it. If she ever had cooked food again, she'd make sure it cooled more before eating.

She sat down beside Axel as he put out the fire. His yawn seemed to be infectious, and she yawned in response. She was feeling a bit drowsy now; eating a lot tended to do that. "Mmm, this seems like a good time for a nap," she said lazily.

Selaba wandered through the forest, idly sniffing a clump of flowers she came across. As she did, she noticed a nice scent in the air that she couldn't quite place. Nose to the breeze, she took another couple stepps, trying to locate the source of the scent.

Since she wasn't looking where she was putting her feet, she tripped over a root and lost her balance, she tottered for a moment before tumbling down a nearby hill. She rolled tail-over-ears for several long moments before she crashed into something soft and fimiliar. She raised her head dizzily. It took a couple moments for her eyes to focus, but then she blushed when she noticed she was half-lying on Axel.

"Er...Hi..." she responded unsteadily. Whey did she have a tendancy to literally run into him like this. "Sorry about that," she added as she backed up so she wasn't on top of him, "I tripped and fell, sort of." She sat down next to him, and for lack of anythgin else to say she asked, "How've you been lately?"

"I'm about the same as you," Selaba responded. "Not much has happened to me lately, either. The most interesting things I've done are with you." She paused a moment, wondering if that sounded odd, but gave a mental shrug and went on. "It's a nice day today," she commented, looking around.

Selaba looked back at Axel with a big smile. "Of course it's true, I love being with you. Besides, you've said yourself that there's not much to do here a lot of the time."
