Welcome to Gaia! ::

Noor had got lost. No wonder, the forest was much much more familiar place for her than this modern jungle. And map reading was not her strenghts either.

She held tightly the flowerpot that one day had appeared in front of her cave. Somehow, she felt love towards this little pot, like it would be her child. If the note was telling the truth, maybe she even would get a child soon. It was a fascinating thought. A bit unbeliable but still fascinating.

Oh yes, where was she?

"Is everything right?" a voice of a man behind her asked. Noor startled and instantly turned around. The voice belonged to a police man, the one who would retire soon. He had a friendly smile but Noor was alarmed. You never knew if people were nice or planning something against you.

"Yes, thank you," the hunter woman said shyly.

"I'm just a little lost."

"Where are going?"

As an answer to that, Noor showed the card with Kyo's information in it. Police man examined it, meanwhile Noor examined him. The expression on man's face brightened and he smiled.

"Do you need an escort there?" he asked.

The hunter woman nodded.

"Well then. Follow me."

Twenty minutes passed and Noor was in front of the heavy, metallic floor. She was alone with the flowerpot, the police man had left on his duties some time ago. So, this was Kyo's place. They certainly lived in different kind of home. Technology meets nature. What a combination.

Noor rose her hand reached the door.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Hi," Noor just said. She slingered inside, shoulders wet from just raining snow. She placed the flowerpot next to the wall while she took off her leather/fur jacket and boots.

"So, figured anything about it yet?"

The house was more modern than she had used to. But well, she lived in a cave. To her modern machines like laundry machine, TV or even phone were un-needed. She was the girl for simple life and all those modern things confused her.

"Do I put this here?" she asked and glanced at Kyo, holding the flower pot near his own one. For some reason, it seemed like good idea to put them next to each other.

"Oh?" Noor said, a bit confused expression on her face. Suddenly, it all seemed so fabulous! "They will grow into a child?!"

The hunter woman looked at leaves in their flower pots. So, you really have a soul.... She smiled a dreamy smile.

"I wonder will it be like an ent with root-like hands and feet or like a human child with soft skin...."

Little by little, the leaf in Noor's flower pot twiggled in the soil, towards the other leaf....

Surprised, Noor glanced at Kyo.

"Afraid? Why you are afraid they could be linked?" she asked, looking very confused.

Noor just couln't understand.

((Sorry, it's so short. -_-))

"Oh..."

A sign of understanding. Noor glanced at leafs but turned her gaze quickly towards Kyo.

"So... " she said, her brows lowered. "... if they are connected, they need to stay together? Which one us should take care of them? ..... Or should we do that together?"

"Sounds don't bother me," she said. To be honest, she hadn't used to sounds of children. But wild nature had it's own sounds and those sounds were pretty loud at times. Probably children wouldn't bother her too much.

"May I see the room?"

Noorarie nodded with a smile and walked towards the hallway. She wanted to see the room, see what kind of room it was. Her steps were careful as she walked, not wanting to scare kids. She also wanted to make sure she would find the right room and not miss it.

It wasn't a hard task. She found the room easily. Good, it was comfortable, just like she hoped. A bit dust on floor or on furnitures didn't mind her. After all, she always have lived in caves or under trees. Those places weren't very clean.

She sat on bed and sighed. Many thoughts fullfilled her mind. Mostly, she thought about the leaf and pondered how it could turn into a child. How it would happen?

Meanwhile, the leaf in flowerpot Noor has brought, had reached pot's edge.
