Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ren walked in, happy to finally have somewhere he could be alone. He wandered through the unit, looking at all of the rooms. Considering he didn't sleep much, he took the smallest room. Inside was a black couch, and a twin sized mattress. The room had a nice, cozy feeling. Ren sat down upside down on the couch, closing his eyes as blood flowed to his head.

And then there was a knock on the door. A dainty knock, that had to be of a maiden. Ren sighed, hopping off of the couch and walking to the door. Outside stood Lara, in all her glory, smiling innocently.
"Ren! I see you have a nice dorm here..." she exclaimed, inviting herself inside, and sitting down on the couch of his room. "You surely don't mind me being here, do you?" she asked.

Ren sighed, "No... I suppose I don't." His tone was very annoyed, as he took his seat next to her. He stayed silent, while Lara frowned.

"What did I do wrong, Ren? Why are you acting so strange?" she asked sorrowfully, latching onto his arm.

Ren gave her a glance, but didn't answer. She knew what she did wrong .And then she thought she could make it all right instantly. Ren thought not.

Lara sighed, realizing he wouldn't let up anytime soon. She leaned her head on his shoulder, waiting for something to break the awkward silence.

Ren stood up quickly, Lara almost falling onto the floor from the swift motion. She frowned, following Ren to the door, not liking the fact someone was intruding. If it was that Mary girl, Lara was going to explode.

Ren opened the door, looking over Dante. Lara peeked from behind him, her chin on his shoulder. "Hello Dante... What do you need?" he asked quietly, not going to make a mistake and start a fight. Lara nuzzled into Ren's side, feeling a bit upset someone was disturbing them.

Lara's face reddened and she glared at Dante, "Old tricks?! I'll have you know I really love Ren." she whined, in an annoyed tone.

Ren rolled his eyes at Lara's remark, then listening to Dante's apology. "It's fine, Dante... I was just a bit shocked earlier, I should be apologizing for running from my best friend." he said quietly, looking to the side. "So we're even." he stated after a moment.

Lara calmed down, gently nudging Ren again. 'Ask him to come in.' She snuck into his mind, so that only he would hear. Ren didn't react physically to the idea, but did as she suggested. "Would you like to come in for a bit?" he asked. Lara was satisfied, looking over Dante with an evil smirk.

Lara frowned, "That's not fair! I want it to be just me and Ren." she pouted, locking arms with Ren.

Ren glanced at Lara, but decided to just leave her alone for now. He still hadn't forgiven her for ditching him. "Well, go ahead and take your pick at a room. Mine is over there." he pointed to the left.

Lara smiled, "I call sharing with Ren!" her tone was innocent, but Ren sighed nonetheless.

"Lara, there's only one bed." he said quietly.

She smirked, "We can share, you silly boy." she giggled.

Ren looked down, in his mind praying to God to save him.

Lara shoved him playfully, "I heard that." Which resulted with another sigh from Ren.

Lara frowned at Dante, "Stay out of his buisness. Besides, I have the right to stay with him. He still has my soul pendant." she said with a sly smirk. She walked up to Dante then, poking his chest. "I don't know who you think you are, but I don't listen to anyone, got that?"

Ren sighed, grabbing Lara's arm and pulling her away. "Leave Dante alone, he's just being reasonable." he said quietly.

Lara pouted again, "But Ren~ I want to stay with you!" she whined, her eyes starting to tear up.

Ren rolled his eyes, "Lara... We'll live together. You can take your own room."

She shook her head, "Fine then. I'll sleep on the couch, but we have one room."

Ren looked at Dante again, needing a bit of help. Lara was the most stubborn girl in the world.

Lara frowned, "Stop that. You're just jealous of Ren." she said sharply, holding onto Ren.

Ren sighed, "Alright, alright! I barely sleep anyways... I'll take the couch and Lara can have my bed. Just, please, don't fight." he said quietly.

Lara smirked at Dante; she got what she wanted. "You know what, I think you're right. Ren needs his rest~" She led Ren by the hand into the room. "I'll help you with that. You need a massage, don't you~" she said in a seducing tone.

Ren turned a little red, but he pulled his arm from her grasp. "Maybe... later..." he said quietly, smiling nervously.

Lara nodded, "That's perfectly fine." She then sat down on his couch, waiting for him to come inside.

Ren turned to Dante, feeling a bit strange. "Well... Hmm..."

Lara frowned, but she didn't say anything.

Ren looked at Dante, then Lara, then Dante again. He was going to have to get used to this, by the looks of it.
