Welcome to Gaia! ::

Since she had finished her homework, Samira was given leave to spend some time in the library before her caretaker would pick her up in a little while. Time alone to do whatever she wished in the library? What ever is a girl to do? Why, puzzles of course! She had a pretty puzzle that she was wanting to work on. While Sami had originally been wanting to bring one of her familiars with her, that idea was quickly quashed as something potentially noisy or not appropriate for the library. Okay, she could see that, thus the girl was left on her own. In a quiet corner of the library, the mixed mutant girl set up her puzzle on an empty table and set herself to the task of trying to extract all the edge pieces from the pile. Curling her tail around the feet of the chair she was sitting in, Sami contentedly began sorting puzzle pieces into piles according to colors and patterns on the tops. She didn't have a music player or anything, but the fallen/demon girl took advantage of the space between her and other library patrons to quietly hum to herself as she worked, sometimes pausing to try a couple pieces together. Her stillness was broken up by an occasional shift or stretch of her wings, or Sami uncurling her tail to switch sides or to lay her tail across her lap, just about anything to keep it out of the way of possible foot traffic. Her day had gone pretty well so far, and she didn't want to risk it taking a rapid turn for the worst if someone stepped on her tail.

Ever since the day in the courtyard Liath seemed to be a pretty constant figure at Gwen's side. Today Gwen had decided that they were going to find a mutant to ask questions, Liath was quite excited about this, he had never met a mutant before. They entered the library and Liath remained Gwen's shadow. Today he had brought a little pad of paper and a pencil for record keeping, sometimes his memory wasn't the best, so he often took notes. Once Gwen introduced the two Liath put his hand up in a friendly manner, that was as much of a greeting as he really deemed necessary. He felt Gwen had pretty much summed everything up. Looking at the mutant for confirmation he could see why Gwen was so curious, three eyes? He wondered if that messed with depth perception, if they all worked like normal? Of course Liath had a thing for eyes.

Gwen smiled and then said. "Thank you very much." Gwen sat down and then waited for Laith to join her before she began asking Sami questions. "Do you see the same out of all of your eyes?? Do you have issues seeing?? Does your tail have a different level of flexibility at that length??" Gwen held her pen above her paper waiting for Sami to answer her questions. Gwen had decided to ask all the mutants she spoke to if they had trouble seeing. Liath gave her the idea. Gwen was curious if there was a common link between the mutants somewhere. Though Gwen wasn't sure if she would stumble on it in something as simple as seeing. She hoped some day she would discover a common marker in their blood linking them together. Some gene that said yes this was a mutant, this nightmare was special. Gwen tilted her head to the side a moment wondering if the daydreams now living in the bellow, might be subject to this mutation. Was it caused by not enough light on the stone? Did the stones of mutants not have enough magic, too much magic? What made them special?? Why was Gwen a simple Litch, while Anara and Sami were so pretty??

Sami waited until both were settled before sitting back in her chair to consider their questions. While obviously an oddity, the girl didn't spend too much time with her thoughts lingering over her eyes. None ever really gave her any serious problems that she could recall. "As far as I can tell, my eyes all see just as well as the others. I tend to notice things more quickly in my periphery. When I was very young, a doctor told me my field of vision was broader...wider? They all work in concert and all blink together unless I wink or make an effort. Sometimes lights can be a little overwhelming. Candles and firelight are never an issue but sometimes bright or artificial lights make my eyes sting and water. Um," She pause to mull over any other eye related detail of note. "When I cry, my third eye produces tears as well." It was a terrible mess really, one she avoided if at all possible. Tears either running down the middle of her face, or off to one side or the other of her forehead, or into her hair. No fun at all. The only way to avoid a messy face as to cry laying face down. As such, it was better to avoid getting so upset as to start crying.

"As for my tail, it is quite flexible with a pretty good range of motion." Well, a little bit less in the place where someone broke her tail before she came to live at the Academy, but not enough to render it useless. "I can curl it up, practically wrapping it around me if I try. I can't pick anything up with it or anything fancy like that. I try to keep it up off the ground, out of the way. It isn't so different than a regular demon tail other than the fact that it's so long."

Liath was eager to jott down all that sami said about her eyes. He ofcourse listened to everything that was said but since he hoped to be an eye doctor one day his foucus were on "issues" that Sami brought up. Perhaps there was a way to make crying less annoying for her, though in this particular case he doubted it. "Does being different bother you? I of course mean this in a nicest of ways. I am just trying to understand how being a mutant effects one's every day life. Do others treat you differently?" Liath looked over at Gwen and nodded at the things she said. He felt a twinge of jealousy when she spoke of meeting Anara, surely showing on his face, but he quickly wrote it off as silliness. After all he was nothing but a freshling and had no time to think of such things.
