Welcome to Gaia! ::

"AhhhHHH!" Namini raised her voice a few octaves as she performed an enjoyable stretch, though her charge was obviously unamused. The curly haired brunette flashed the crimson haired Frei a quirky little grin, hoping to see its indifferent mask flicker but it did not; Actually, Prajna's bored expression seemed to become even more set in its cold features. Namini sighed, defeated, as they continued their stroll through the park. She never understood why Prajna constantly requested these afternoon walks through the park, as it seemed the Frei hated all these people and noises, but she dared not ask. Her cerulean eyes flickered to Prajna's hands as she remembered their first night together. ...It could be so unpredictable in its responses to even the simplest of yes or no question, so the pros and cons to asking such a question would just be a nuisance to both parties. Another sigh and Namini glanced around the park. It seemed so lively today. She grinned at a group of giggling children and their antics. Prajna cringed.

"Prajna, would you like to sit down for a bit?" Namini suggested, noting that today's stroll had been longer, though she blamed this on the weather. Because of the rain over the last few days, Prajna had been deprived of its favorite pastime. The Frei nodded but before they began their search, added sternly, "No shade." Namini nodded in understanding.

As they came to a row of benches, Namini paused her pace and glanced around for one not so close to the children. She quickly spotted one a little further down and began walking towards it when a cold hand gripped her arm. Azure eyes caught sight of the slender fingers and traveled slowly up the arm to Prajna's suspicious face. The look in its sharp blue eyes seemed nervous or perhaps Namini was being too optimistic. No, the glare seemed threatened.

"Wh-what's wrong? Praj-Prajna.." She choked, fearful that it was seeking vengeance on a child that perhaps had bumped into its ribbon or something trivial such as that. The Frei sighed before taking hold of her head and twisting it to look at a curious pair of park-goers: an intelligent looking woman accompanied by..

"A Raevan!" Namini gasped quietly before Prajna released her. She smiled though, which proved to be the wrong response to Prajna's discovery.

"Let's go meet them," she cheered but Prajna remained firm, it eyes locked onto Xiu. Namini pouted, now her hands on its arm. She tugged cautiously, her voice pleading, "Please?"

Prajna then shot its owner a contemplative stare before looking past the duo. "No."

Then, it used their position to its advantage. Dragging Namini alongside it, Prajna floated slowly by the duo towards their designated bench, wondering if its trick would work, wondering if it could catch Xiu's attention rather than expressing how it actually worked the other way around. All it sought was a single sign that Xiu had acknowledged it. But before that, it would not approach.

Namini and Prajna seemed to stop in their tracks right on cue when Hazeline greeted them. Namini was the first to turn around, openly expressing her curiosity, and beamed radiantly at the other's warm welcome, though she still seemed a bit shy in her introductions.

"Good afternoon -a bashful giggle- My name is Namini and this is my Raevan--"

Again on cue, the fiery Frei turned around and its eyes instantly fell upon Xiu's ecstatic face. Its eyes, reflecting its essence and soul combination, were distant yet appealing as it scanned the opposing Frei's overall appearance. He had a soft smile that could make anyone trust him almost instantly but Prajna disliked all the..lack of color on the other's outfit. At least he had pretty eyes like Prajna did, though not as pretty as its own.

"Prajna. Hello."

Namini smiled at her charge's attempt at polite conversation. It was its first encounter with another of its kind and she had always hoped things would run smoothly. She winked at Prajna and whispered, "You're doing fine."

The edges of Prajna's thin lips curled wickedly as it flickered its gaze over to Hazeline, whispering back, "I know."

Namini turned back to Hazeline and Xiu, a smile still lingering on her lips, "I think I can speak on behalf of both of us, but we're so happy to see another Raevan. Prajna's new and I was actually hoping to get it introduced to a few others of its kind; Today's such a lucky day! Oh--sorry I'm probably ranting. What brings you to the park today?"

"Innocence you say? ...Wow" Namini murmured, in awe at the thought, her eyes flickering over to the crowd of noisy children beyond them. None of them looked the least bit affected by Xiu's satisfaction so the brunette took it as a harmless transition between Raevan and human, though curiosity still nudged her to ask, "Is it ok for the kids?"

Prajna, on the other hand, kept its eyes locked on Xiu. The other's eyes seemed to be searching the Frei for some kind of answer and Prajna assumed this is what David proclaimed as "awkward." Its smirk widened, almost stretching ear to ear, "Prajna is Prajna. Is no more?"

"Not enough," Namini corrected, quickly picking up on Prajna's misunderstanding. "Is that not enough."

The Frei floated for a bit, its eyes lingering on its owner before beating its wings a few beats. Hard. Cerulean eyes returned to Xiu as did the smile, "Yes. Is Prajna that not enough?"

Namini paused a moment in her conversation with Hazeline and wondered if she should let the Frei try and explain itself rather than have her step it. Its irritation was obvious and she did not want to have to deal with a cranky Prajna, especially not in public.

Namini immediately smiled at Xiu's example as she quickly blurted out a simile for herself, "Like vampires right? Well..in one of the cases..Let's say a vampire can draw a little bit of a person's blood to satisfy themselves! As long as the vampire doesn't lose control and totally suck all the blood out of the person, both parties are relatively ok, right?"

The young brunette seemed to beam at having found such a lovely comparison all by herself, but Prajna just rolled its eyes. Even a newborn could tell that the words "blood", "lose control" and "suck" were not a good combination. Nonetheless, Namini was Namini and Prajna did not feel like correcting her. Its attention was too focused on Xiu. His lips moved so quickly and his words were so confident. Prajna could not help but wince at acknowledging the fact that Xiu..was probably smarter than itself. Age played a part, no doubt, but this fact dug deep in the Frei's delicate flesh. Despite this realization, Prajna kept a smirk on its face as it returned to its "game." Even if Xiu was smarter book-wise and could spit out a million zillion facts about random little flowers, Prajna was determined to prove that its tongue was craftier.

"I, Prajna, like "It." "It" gives more fun, more games. And, David said "It" meant these are 'kay too.." and with that Prajna leaned towards Xiu and placed a delicate but confident kiss upon his pale cheek. The Frei breathed a sinister laugh against Xiu's neck as it pulled away before breaking out into a satisfied ear-to-ear smile. "Fun, no?"

Namini caught the end of Prajna's act and felt her face grow hot, "Prajna!"

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry Xiu! I.." Namini turned her motherly gaze upon Prajna, her cerulean eyes scolding though the Frei simply snickered at her expression. "Prajna, apologize to him right now."

Prajna let out a few more lighthearted notes of sing-songy giggles before stopping abruptly in its laughter and meeting Namini's hard stare with its own sharp eyes. It was now a face off as the two adolescents silently pushed the other with their body language to see which would be the first to give in. Namini furrowed her brow deeper before letting out a softer voice, one that was nearly pleading, "Prajna, please. That wasn't right and you know it."

A defeated sigh. This was what Prajna hated about its guardian; She always seemed to win with that..that look. The Frei hadn't mastered it quite yet but when it did, oh, how the tables would be turned. Prajna turned back to Xiu, its cheeks a little rosier now that it had been caught red handed, but refused to admit open defeat to this stranger as well; It kept its eyes up and locked in place to meet Xiu's.

". . .Sorry Xiu. Sorry it was no fun for you. . ..." there was a pause as Prajna shot Namini a glare from the side, mumbling, "Though it was what David said. Hmpf."

Namini let out a relieved sigh before taking Hazeline's hands in hers and bowing her head graciously, "I'm so very very sorry about Prajna's behavior. I should have taught it better.. ...Perhaps we should take our leaves now? I'd hate to cause more trouble."

Prajna rolled its eyes. What trouble? Xiu simply did not like fun like Prajna did.

Namini felt, with Hazeline's sigh and Xiu's acceptance, the tension relieve itself if only a little bit from the air. Prajna, on the other hand, continued to stare determinedly into Xiu's eyes, now confused and demanding an answer. One minute Xiu had been irritated by what Prajna found to be "fun" and then the next he was forgiving and.. Oh dear. Prajna felt the edges of its mouth pull downwards into a frown. He was like Namini. Too nice, too...

The Frei turned its attention for a split second to analysis Namini's face. Both its guardian and its newfound acquaintance wore the same mixed expression of concern and relief as a conclusion had been reached and Prajna decided it did not like this feeling, the feeling of being out of the loop. It crossed its arms defensively as it returned its glare back to Xiu. There was no denying it: Prajna had now reached a new level of respect and dislike for Xiu. He had simply been too..kind.

Childishly, Prajna stuck its tongue out at Xiu and mumbled something embarrassedly, " Fat idiot."

Luckily Namini had not been able to make out the comment but she took the hint. Grabbing one of Prajna's delicate hands, the brunette shot the other girl a warm smile before saying as sweetly as possible, "My my, it is getting late now isn't it? I'm sorry but we really must be going. Have a great day and I hope we can meet again soon. Goodbye."

She began to lead the hot headed Frei off but Prajna had other plans. One thing it had accomplished in the short time it had been with her was the use of her cell phone. Reaching into her purse, Prajna quickly found the pink flip phone and floated back to the other pair. It stared down at Hazeline, still frowning and refusing to look back at Xiu.

"Number. Save it." The demand was simple and..rude.

Namini stared for a few moments after her charge before racing over to it. She was definitely going to have to give Prajna a heavy scolding and lecture on courtesy when they got back home!

Prajna's fingers seemed to slide over the numbers effortlessly and rapidly, following Hazeline's recital perfectly. Just as it pushed the "Save" button on the little pink phone, Prajna felt a smirk tug at its features and Namini tug on its sleeve.

"Yes. Thank you," Prajna purred as Namini pulled harder on its sleeve, somewhat out of breath. The teen shot a desperately apologetic look to the other duo before bowing quickly and spewing out a million "I'm sorry"s in a row. Prajna simply chuckled softly before turning on point and beginning to float away.

"Prajna!" Namini hissed, her voice finally expressing some true form of anger. She followed the Frei irritatedly, making incredible hand motions as the distance between Hazeline and Xiu and them grew. One thing that could be clearly noted was oh yes, Namini was incredibly aggravated by her Frei. A good distance away and it was seen that Namini bopped Prajna gently on the head and Prajna accepted it, like the child that it was.
