Welcome to Gaia! ::

Iroia reset herself with a little headshake, she could not understand this simple manchild, she liked to have fun, and the splashfight had been fun, a little one sided he was magical after all and she but a humble swordsman but that was okay, he had a healer's heart so he had won. She had not defended herself once and had gotten in a splash here and there.

BUT SKIPPING? "We are here, he is watching us, I feel it." She murmured to her bouncy..bounce bounce bounce companion. It was good she had Vosh as a mate cause she seemed to attract crazy sunny people like Kaa and this one; Nua..something. She huffed, felt a twinge somewhere that seemed familiar but carried on anyway. The sooner Voshy came out of that tree the better to save her from Skippy here. "Vooooshyyyy." She whined, "I found a person and well...VOSSSSHHYYYY." she whined louder. She was a grown woman too, but nothing but nothing had prepared her for this ..dude.

Made with wind and everything nice apparently they had forgotten all the negativity in his making no pepper no bitter salt..just sunshine and raindrops and adorableness.He just floated everywhere a strange creature that would have been perhaps more tolerable had she been a little younger, was that a grey hair in her pony? His was a personality set that really belonged in a toddler, no even they were not that nice. He was a gem of a person and she was surprised he had lasted this long in the real world. Surely someone would have taken advantage, she wasn't sure how, but there were people out there who would.

"Okay slow down your making me dizzy with all the bouncing I have children who never bounced that much and a gecko that doesn't bounce that much." If she could harness that energy they could like clear a field in no time..if Nua didn't chase after butterflies or something, that was a distinct possibility.

She wondered what had brought him down from the north and its barren landscape, a place she tried hard not to think of due to bad memories. The jungle really was better..for her and her mate and her family. Until she tripped on a root.

Nuawahn travelled far and wide, but he did like the idea of them being there already. "Watching us? Where? Where?" Nuawahn waved and beamed at any likely place.

"Hehe!" Nua giggled, skipping ahead and very much not taking her seriously about the dizziness. Not that he could stop being bouncy. Not that he would try.

And then he saw the man. He was big and blue and BIG, with antennae like an alkidike! He was a hybrid! "Hiii!" he replied, waving enthusiastically. "Is he your husband?" he asked Iroia.

He seemed nice! And good looking. And really strong! Nuawahn wondered if he minded hugs.

Volkarosh had just been in to drop off her kill, but then she'd gone off with her brother somewhere to do... Whatever it was they did. They would probably end up with yet another new pet. Wonderful.

"A... splash fight?" Votzhem wasn't sure what to make of that, if anything at all. Or the fact that she'd lost. He raised his eyebrows and stared at the windling suspiciously, though considering Iroia and considering the sheer... energy? That seemed to suffuse the man, he wasn't entirely sure what he was suspicious about. Infidelity? Being a spirit she'd accidentally brought home? A thief? Who knew.

He hugged his wife and kissed her. "They're out, my dear firebrand, so it will just have to be us..." he said, deciding that, even if somehow this sparkling person was trouble, he could deal with him. Him and Iroia? No issues. He relaxed - a deadly sort of relaxation, like the confidence of a predator. "Fortunately, we'll be eating well for the next few days." he eyed Nuawahn, "Yes, I'm Votzhem. Nua...?"

"Is your sailscale going to eat that rat thing?" She asked her mate in a quiet tone. Her alol wouldn't she was pretty sure but sailscales were canny and predatory, she loved them.. that critter better not get into her pantry.

As for their guest what could she do? She didn't particularly understand him but everyone seemed to like tea. "Would you like some tea? Or soup or something?" She asked, playing the polite one for once, it was usually a toss up but it was hard to be really angry with someone so bubbly. Especially when she seemed to have everything; a voshy, two kids and a home and it seemed like this manchild for that is what he was she thought was far from home. She didn't know if he had a mate.

"Oh yes, um Nua you might want to find your pet, I forgot we have two cats now."

"She's a Moracker!" Nuawahn corrected, "Not a rat!" It was a pretty big distinction, though he didn't dislike rats. They were a little scary, but they could be friendly if you were nice to them!

"We'd love some soup! I love soup! Soup is tasty, tasty, tasty, Mmhmm!" he chanted, sing-song... "But I should get Jelta F... OH YOU HAVE PERZI?!" He squealed in delight. Kitties! Cute spiky kitties! "Can I pet them? Do they play with yarn? I like fluffy animals... Oh!"

Realization dawned, slowly but surely on him. "Oh no, Jelta! I'll save youuuu!" he said, rushing past Votzhem and into the house, "Jeeelta!" he called out, dropping to the floor to search under everything and everywhere she could be, "Come out, come out, I have treats!" he cajoled...

Votzhem went with 'smile and nod' as the windling rushed off to save his pet.

"Mm. Hello." Votzhem returned her friendly greeting with a hybrid hug-cuddle of his own, but he knew he couldn't let himself get distracted by her (freshly washed!) warmth against his. "So, that... person. I've heard about him - I hear he's some sort of spirit." he said, a little urgently, "Did he do anything to you?" That you know of?, "Did he say anything strange? Particularly out of the ordinary?"

He'd heard mostly benevolent spirity things about this Nuawahn, but he had to be sure. He had to protect his family with rationality and strategy, since Iroia (and her friend) could handle the force part of it. And, with such a strange entity entering his house and doing Aisha knew what, Votzhem felt like he had to know everything going into this... situation.

"Well he is very weird, but nothing magicy if you are worried about that, I think he is just so strange, and sunshiney that everyone kind of judges him wrong, I'm pretty sure hes not all there upstairs." She listened intently to the cries and calls coming from inside. "But he is a nice enough sort, then to you've seen MY preferred company." She grinned thinking of Ruelash and his aldabuck. Bitter was as bitter does, and this windling was anything but bitter, even after a bite from a what was it? Moracker? Iroia had never had much use for rats, idly she wondered if Slail her lizardy gecko thing would eat a moracker...probably if Slail was hungry enough she would. Interesting. Well it wasn't her pet getting eaten after all.

Iroia peered in the house. "Did you catch her? Is she okay? Is it a she?"
