Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I was looking forward to this! heart ))

Talea made a face as she discovered that she had strayed away from the marked path that she had been on only moments ago. "Hush, hush..." she instinctively whispered to the bundle in her arms. A soft complaint was returned, but nothing else.

As she treaded carefully through the tall grass she had come upon, Talea noticed a tree up ahead. It looked like a good resting place, so she continued carefully toward welcome shade.

Upon escaping from the small field of unkept grass, Talea discovered that another had already chosen this spot to rest at. She arrived in time to hear what had surely been a rhetorical question, but she decided to respond anyway.

"I am..." her light, dry voice came, her typical kind expression showing on her face. She adjusted Reira in her arms, not noticing the Pae'il that the stranger shadowed from her view.

Level-headed by nature, Talea barely flinched at Isaurale's surprised reaction. "I'm sorry," she replied, seeming nearly emotionless. Under the surface, though, she understood how difficult it was to keep to get a youngster to sleep sometimes, and sympathized with Isaurale for waking the child up.

Then it sunk in that this stranger was traveling with a bundle rather similar to her own. Talea's narrow eyes widened slightly at the realization. "Yes, yes, it would be lovely to join you," came the rather formal response. "I'm Talea, and this little dear is Reira... A pleasure to meet you."

Considering the initial formality taken care of, Talea carefully sat down with her back against the trunk of the tree, cautious of the infant in her arms. She glanced at her new companion, as if to invite her to take a seat as well.

{{OOC: of course hop right in. And sorry Im slow to respond, my class/work schedule this quarter is insane}}

Isaurale smiles at the other girl, and sat down cross legged, positioning Alaera into her lap, hopefully for another nap. She really wasn't quite sure what to do with the small child yet, but every giggle and smile seemed to melt her heart a little bit more. Once she was settled down, she took the oppurtunity to look over bundle in her new friends arms. She looked just like Alaera.

"I see you have a lil one just like mine. Alaera here came floating down from the sky." Isaurale looked curiously at Talae, wondering how she came to be with Reira.

((I understand! My schedule's that way too. ^^ So... how should we include their growth? They're all so cute!! ))

Talea nodded slightly. "Mmhmm... Reira appeared to me... It was the strangest thing. I was washing dishes, and then suddenly I was outside with her in my arms. Haven't a clue where my home is, now. Maybe I'm just dreaming." She laughed a bit, showing that she was in good humor despite her troubles. "This girl is growing so quickly! Her blonde hair, and those searching eyes..."

At this point, Reira had woken up and was looking around peacefully. Her eyes focused past Talea and the young woman turned her head at the approaching traveler.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know where we are myself." She gave a serene smile and said little else, scanning the newcomer before moving her gaze to the surroundings.

{{I was thinking maybe now that the three of the are together a bright light kinda emanates from them and they all change into toddlers at once. Does that sound ok?? There certainly will be a bit more interaction between them then lol}}

Isaurale watched the newcomer approach and hearing his question, smiled in spite of herself. "Well" she said "at least we are lost out here together" and laughed.

She pondered for a moment what both Talea and Reborn had said. Them meeting out here in this strange land where they had never been before and then all coming upon infants, surely could not be a coincidence.

Coming out of her thoughts she looked to the two "It seems as though someone has chosen us to care for and protect these young children."

{{Course. I dunno about the others but I kinda wanna keep rping mine as a infant for a lil while longer}}

Daniel stumbled through the grassy clearing, clutching to the pink bundle in his arms. The little infant squeeled joyously at a small butterfly wafting past through the air. The first non-grumpy action she had made while the whole duration of their new adventure.

Shading his eyes, Danny surveyed the sunny area for a place to rest. He was walking and following his map in his pocket now for about an hour, and his feet sure were sore from lugging poor, squirming Toure around.

Resisting the urge to jump for joy, Dan instead shuffled his way through the growth towards a large tree casting a welcoming shadow. A bit surprised at the little sea of heads he spotted, he picked up the pace until he was beside the group. Maybe they knew where he was?

"Uh, hi there.." Dan greeted the small group with a wave while holding onto his child at the same time, who gurgled uncomfortably. He was surprised to find that they too had little wrapped bundles, and his eyes danced happily. Maybe they knew about these babies! "Mind if I take a seat?" he gestured towards a green patch of grass near the lot hopefully.
