Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tux sat on a tree branch and had a slight smile as he made a few leaves fall one at a time.

Nona was laying around, not doing much of anything, wondering where her friend Tal had gone.

Tux finally looked up from the leaves to notice the familure female had come into view. He jumped down to walk twords her. When he reached her he gave a charming smile. "Well hey there non-stranger. Seeing as you're the only one I remember"

Nona looked up and blinked, looking away for a moment before looking up again. She folded her ears down just slightly. "H-Hello?"

His head tilted a little, though his charming smile never faded. "Dont you remember me? You helped clean my wounds^^." He put out his paw to show a slight scar.

Nona thought for a moment, making a face, before she blinked and nodded. "Yeah, i remember you!"

His smile widend, looking more goofy then suave now. He shook it off before he looked like a fool and put his charming smile back on. "I'm glad you remember me. It would be quite terrible if the only girl I remember doesnt even remember me." His eyes dancing as he looked at hers.

Nona pouted slightly and cocked her head, fudgiting in the grass and looking to the left. "You haven't met anyone else?"

He shook his head. "Why would I want to? I've got you to keep me company =3" Giving an innocent smile

Nona blushed lightly, still looking away. "You must want to meet at least someone else."

He looked at her slightly confused "Why? You entertain me. And I couldnt possibly find anyone more beautiful then you =3"

Nona twirled a blade of grass in the ground. "You're trying to flatter me"

Tux tilted his head. He then stared at the ground thinking. He looked up at her "I am^^;;?" He bowed slightly "Sorry if it makes you uncomfterable...I dont really remember how else to act^^;;"

Nona swished her tail, a slight trace of curiosity in her eye. "Remember? Why cant you remember?"

He shruged "I dont remember. I remember laying on my back and opening my eyes while I lay in a huge crator and the dust cleared. Covered in wounds.... But before that...nothing." He whispered the last word

Nona pondered the idea of this. "That's unusual, most namrah I've heard of either just poofed on the island or have been here since they were eggs. Nothing about lost memory and craters."

"Well, I can only asume that I was the one who made the crator^^;;. Such a huge fall could have given me...uhh...well, make me lose my memory."

Nona nodded. "That kind of fall could have killed you even."

"owo" he paused "Then I guess I'm lucky to be alive. Good thing you were there to help clean my wounds or I could have died from infection. You saved my life, and for that, I owe it to you =D"

Nona smiled lightly. "I'm glad to have helped." She blinked. "You owe what, exactly, to me?"

"My life. Whatever you want of it. I will do any thing for you. For ifI was dead, I wouldnt be able to do anything =3"

Nona blushed a little more brightly and looked away. She couldn't imagine anyone giving their life to her. What did that mean anyways? That he was like her servant now, or her boyfriend, or WHAT?!

He stared at her with a calm smile on his face. Wondering what she could be thinking of. Though he was not worried. He believed fully that she could never hurt him.

Nona got a tickle in her nose, and she sneezed, sending out a smokescrean around the both of them.

Tux blinked, then ducked down. Hoping it was like a fire and there would be clean air by the ground. There wasnt and he caughed. "Nona? Where are you?"

Nona shook her head and rubbed her eyes. "Man, I hate when that happens* When she opened her eyes, she looked strangly at Tuzedo, as she is unaffected by the smoke. "You okay?"

he weezed a little and gave a tiny caugh. "If you are okay, I'm okay. I've lived past death with you before, this is nothing." His eyes begining to water.

Nona leaned in close to him and cocked her head, not quite understanding that he couldn't breath. "Are you... sure... you're okay?"

He tilted his head up a little, was able to tell she was closer by her voice geting louder. "Well I admit... It is slightly hard to breath..."

Nona blinked, and her expression dropped as she remembered that normal 'mir couldn't breath in smoke. She fidgited. "You gotta get out of the smoke" Heasitating a moment beforehand, she started pushing Tuxedo a bit

He moved a little, but couldnt tell which way to go "Uhm...one small question.... Which way is clean air?" He had given up trying to see at this point and had tried to keep his eyes shut.

Nona shrugged and continued to push. "I dunno, but it has to let up eventually"

He kept walking till the smoke had cleared. He didnt want to open his eyes though for they still stung a little. "Is it clear?"

Nona nodded, and noticed his eyes were closed. "Yeah"

He took a deep breath and floped on the ground. He tried opening one eye slightly, then the other. Blinking slightly a few times as they began to get a little puffy. He looked up at her with the slightly puffy eyes and gave his dashing smile which made him look slightly pathetic. "What happend?"

Nona blinked at his look, before cracking up laughing

he pouted slightly "Whats wrong??"

Nona struggled to breath as she laughed. "You look so funny!" XD

-he blinked- "How do I look funny?" one of his puffy eyes blinked as the other stayed open.

Nona pointed. "Your eyes"

He puffed up his lips in a fishy face "Well, at least you are smiling now ^__^"

At this Nona fell on her back, crying from laughign so hard.

Tux chuckled a little "I admit, I may not be able to give my dashing debonair smile right now. But I think I'm still handsome x3."

Nona roared with laughter. "Yeah right"

He gave a little pout. "Well, you never told me what that was, mrs. Nona."

Nona blinked. "Mrs?"

"Oh, are you seeing someone? I always forget which one is for singles and which one is for maried females...."

Nona shook her head."No, I'm not. I'd just be Ms."

"ahhh. Okay then." He tried to hide his smile. But he was glad she wasnt seeing anyone. He took a deep breath and yawnedslightly. His eyes were almost back to normal now. "So, what have you been up to since we last met?"

Nona was sitting around, she hadn't seen a certain someone in quite a while, and that made her worry a bit

Tux licked a wound on his wrist. He had been trying to climb a tree when his cape got stuck and made him trip. Looking up and glaring at the tree, he noticed some cloth. Grabing his cape, he cursed at the tears "Great! This is all I need!" Grumbling he tossed it aside and sat hunched as he grumbled

Nona's ear twitched as she heard some grumbling and turned to look at it, only seeing some cloth in a tree. Some familiar cloth

Tux humphed as he felt some warmth on his paw, it had started to bleed while he was grumbling at the stupid tree. "Greeeeat. Blood, thats exactly what I wanted on my clothes." Geting up to start looking for a pond to wash it off with. His head only thinking of his wrist and the stupid tree to not notice the sounds around him.

Nona leaned forward, trying to see better what was going on. Unable to, she got up and made her way over, smiling as someone familiar came into view.

Tux looked over at a rustling bush, only to see Nona. "Hey!!" He said, a little too excitedly. He coughed a little. "Uhhh, what are you doing around here?" A little disapointed hed have to lick his wound clean since he knew she wouldnt want to go by any water.

Nona waved lightly at Tux and curled her tail around herself. "I was wondering what had happened to you." She tilted her head as she looked at his wrist. "Are you hurt?"

He gave a little smile "Yeah, I havent seen you around in a while. You been hiding from me?" He chuckled as he joked. He looked at his wrist, a blob of dryed blood on it now. "Oh, this? Well, yeah, a little I guess." "Isnt that always how we seem to meet up? Myself getting hurt and you coming to the rescue."

Nona laughed lightly. "No silly, I haven't been hiding from you, just the snow." And she walked over closer to him, looking at the blood. "Does it hurt?"

He nodded as he lifted his wrist to let her see it better. "I think I might have lightly sprained it or overextended it or something." He paused a little "....I was just going to find a pond to wrinse off the blood before it stains...." Looking deeply at her, wondering if she would react any diffrently at the mention of water.

Nona made a face at the blood. "Ouch!" She met his gaze and looked away, blushing, before looking back at him. "Um... I think you should wash it."

He nodded, and put his paw down to smile at her. "I think so too. ....Would you mind walking with me part of the way? I might need some support, and I dont exactly know this part of the island ^^;;"

Nona smiled earnestly. "Of course." She began to wlak with him towards the nearest pond

"Great! Hehe, you know, we really should stop meeting like this. I dunno if my body could handle much more."

Nona looked over at him with a bit of a mischevious, but innocent, look in her eyes. "Oh, what are you implying?"

He blinked, then laughed "Haha, only that maybe I could develop some other type of sense to tell that you are around instead of hurting myself." His wrist starting to grow in pain as he tried to push it out of his mind.

Nona's smile slightly thinned out as her trying to get him to ask her out failed. "Well, maybe you should work on that."

He nodded. "Hmmm, you know, I might not get hurt so offten as we just stayed together all the time." He blurted out "I mean...Uh... cause I wouldnt need to sence if you are near me if we never left eachothers side...."

Nona looked at him, feeling her cheeks growing warm. "Are you asking... me to live with you...?"

Tux blushed under his mask "well.... I dont actually live anywhere.... So we'de have to figure that out..." He smiled as he turned over to look at her "But with my superior strength and speed, I could build us a home in no time!" He chuckled "well... after my wrist heals..."

Nona blushed even brighter. "You are asking me to move in with you!" She laughed hesitantly, lightly. "And you havent even asked me out on a date or to be your girlfriend"

Tux smiled widely "Well... I thought maybe if we moved in with eacother, we'd get to know eachother better. That way when I ask you to be my girlfriend, you'll know if you want to say yes or not!" Trying to play it off cool.

Nona stopped walking and looked at him, blushing bright red.

Tux walked out of a semi larg hut he had just finished building. There was dust on his cape and hat. It was big enough to house food, a place to sleep, and a fireplace in the middle with a hole in the roof for smoke to go through. He was very excited to see what nona thought of it

Nona was on a branch rather high up in a tree, reaching for an orange. She almost had it in her paws when she heard footsteps from far away.

Tux kept walking, thrying to find nona. "Nona, are you around? I have a surprise for you!" walking under the tree that she was in

Nona looked down and waved at Tux. "I'm up here silly" she said as she leaned forward, looking her balance and being sent tumbling down.

Tux looked up and smiled as he saw Nona. Only to realize she had started to fall twords him "I'll catch you love!" and ran in circles under the tree before finally catching her and faceplanting in the mud.

Nona squealed as she fell until she hit somethign soft, which would be Tux's back. She giggled as the dirt didn't get on her, and she jumped past the puddle. "Aww, thanks!"

Tux bubbled under his hat. He lifted his head as a sucking sound accured. Chuckling he said "No problum. What would be a meeting with Nona if I didnt get hurt or go on an adventure." Sticking his tongue out a little at her but chocking slightly as mud slipped onto his tongue

Nona blushed lightly before folding her ears down. "Aww, I didn't mean to hurt you!" She gasped. "Oh my, you're so dirty!" D:

He giggled "Dont worry Nona, I'm not the only soft thing that was under that tree." And winked at her. He looked down and frowned slightly at the splotches of mud "Oh dear.... thats going to stain soon..."

Nona flailed her hands. "How do you get it off?!"

Tux gave a slight smile "Uhhhh.... usually when clothes get dirty you wash them off.... in water >3>...." he finished quietly

Nona's face went blank and her mouth opened slightly. "Um... You! You go, wash, it? I stay away from water."

Tux gave a little -I'm sorry- grin since he had known what her reaction would be. "I wanna show you something first."

Nona pouted. "But, won't it stain if you don't do it, like, now?"

He smiled "This is more important." Taking her paw and kissing it. "Do you trust me enough to follow me?" His eyes pleading sith soft hope.

Nona looked away and blushed as he took her paw and kissed it. "Oh... um... yeah..." She looked up at him with her eyes. "I trust you."

He smiled widely. Good. Then lets go. Its only a short walk from here." As he led her through some bushes to a trail

Nona looked forward as she easily allowed herself to be led, trying to recognize the place

After following the tail a little bit he went back through the bushes. He turned and smiled at her "Ready?" He asked, a wall of shrubs between them and the surprise.

Nona looked at the wall and nodded. "Ready!"

Tux smiled widely then burst through. A little hut stood infront of them. a thin line of smoke raising from the middle hole in the roof. Softly he said to her "I finished it this morning. Thats why I came looking for you"

Nona came with him through the bushes, and gasped at the little hut. "Oh... Oh my! It's beautiful!"

Tux's smile became even broader. "You really think so? I hope its okai. Its not very big, but it has a small kitchen and sleeping area." He walked to the door and opened it for her to walk inside

Nona nodded. "Yeah..." She walked in and looked a round, gasping and covering her mouth with her hands. "Oh, oh my god it's jsut... perfect!"

Tux smiled warmly. "I...I know a place and they gave me this really nice soft comfeter." He walked over to a little 3 walled room and sat on what looked like a heavenly soft blanket. "You fold it in half and it keeps you warm ontop too."

Nona followed after him and sat down. She smiled widely. "Soooooft~" <3

He nodded "And if this doesnt keep us warm, the fire will! I even made a hole so it doesnt smoke us out. But theres a cover up there for when it rains."

Nona looked over at the fire and tilted her ear. "How'd you learn to do that?"

Tux smiled proudly. "you know that place I said abou the blanket? Well, a builder lives there and he over heard me. He said this kind of building would be just what I need, and then showed me this picture that says how to do it. It was really neat."

Nona nodded. "Oh... That's cool."

Tux nodded as well. "He was interesting. Had a bunch of this blue chalk stuff on his face. No idea what he would want chalk for though." Tux shrugged. "Is thre anything you'd like to do?"

Nona shook her head no as she lay on her back and closed her eyes. "I'm good right here~"

Tux smiled and took of his muddy clothes, most of which had dryed and flaked off onto the ground. He slipped in onto the blanket with her. scootching closer and closer in hopes she wouldnt mind.

Nona's ears twitched as she heard him. "What was that?" She asked, not opening her eyes though.

Tux stopped half a foot away from her "Uhhh, I dunno? I jjust climbed into bed, is that what you heard?" slipping a paw over hers gently

Nona's body twitched as she felt his paw in hers and she blushed brightly. "um... probably..." she whispered

Tux nodded and fell asleep, holding and carressing her paw.
