Welcome to Gaia! ::

Drathi stood outside of the Battle Dome next to a small girl--no older than nine years old. She looked at Drathi, who would not let her in or participate in the battles (with good reason).

"It's huge!" she said. "A-And the sky... I think I'm going to fall into it."

"You'll come to like the open air soon enough," he said, placing a hand on her head. He did not take her to Alnette's Memorial, not wanting her to see him upset. It was very difficult for him to hide it, when he returned, but he had her fooled for the most part. "Anyways, let's stick around for a bit. Maybe some of my friends are around and you can meet them."

The girl nodded, but then hid behind him, a bit scared to meet new people.

The small girl shyed away from Xiomara. She was mostly intimidated by the large man behind her.

"C-Camille..." she said, not stepping away from her teacher, who was rubbing the back of his neck.

"Her home is underground and this is her first time spending more than a couple hours on the surface," he said. He pried the girl off him and put her in front of him. "It's alright," he told her. "She won't hurt you--or steal anything, right?"

"I-I'm fine with walking," she said. "It s quite fun getting to see the world at a slow pace."
