Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shee was tugging on her hair impatiently while she waited for one of the newest recruits they had to come join her in the atrium. He was due for his first mission and Wraith has decided that she was going to join him, since he was so new and all. She was quite looking forward to this mission, as they were going to meet Maita, one of her favorite people. Peru was just nice in general, being one of the most peaceful countries in the world. She squeaked as some of the creamy yellow jasmine blossoms tumbled out of her braids and fell onto the stone floor. She bent down to retrieve them.

((I've decided on Shane's appearance, so I can tell you a bit of it. He's going to have medium-ish black hair and... blue eyes, I believe? Whatever you wanted on the form. He'll be wearing a leine (long shirt), trews (really tight pants) that button up from the back and a vest/jacket thing. Not very descriptive, I know, but it's hard to explain and I don't have a digital sketch yet.))

Shee stood up and fastened the jasmine blossoms back into her hair. As she straightened, she saw a tall, dark-haired man walking towards her.

He grinned at her; she smiled back at him.

"Are you Shane then? I suppose you are. Hmm..." She quickly turned and grabbed the file lying on the ledge behind her. Opening it, she saw that this was most probably Shane. He had black hair like he was supposed to, and he looked Irish like he was supposed to. Wraith has made tiny notes in the margin that were unintelligible for the most part, but seemed to be telling her to stay at least a meter away from the man at all times. Or something like that.

"Well, for this mission, we'll be going to Peru to retrieve a letter from a man named Auqui Maita. He lives quite deep in the Andes, so it'll be a bit of a chore to get there. Wraith has arranged for a jet to take us to Peru, of course, but it won't take us all the way to his doorstep, unfortunately."

((Sorry... people were being unbelievably annoying.))

"Yes, it's Shee!" She nodded enthousiastically. Clutching the file, she motioned for Shane to follow her as she walked to a door on the far side of the atrium. Opening it, she continued into the hangar, where a small, white jet was waiting. Running up to it, she waved at the pilot standing in front of the plane. Shee ruffled through the file and handed him a sheet of paper. Motioning again to Shane, she opened the jet's door and slid in.

Shee nodded to the pilot as the door slid shut. She didn't want to waste any time. As the jet started slowly towards the exit, she turned to face Shane.

"Well, it shouldn't take us more than a few hours. We're lucky; we have state of the art transportation at our disposal."

Shee yawned. It probably would have been a good idea to have gotten more sleep the night before.

"Why thank you!"

Shee ducked down and retrieved a large, fluffy pillow from beneath the seat. Wraith had put it there for her after she'd fallen asleep on five consecutive flights.

Lodging it in between herself and the man's shoulder, she set her head down onto it.

"Wake me up when we get there, OK?"

Shee's eyelids fluttered for a moment before she pushed the hand away and turned over, muttering, "five more minutes..."

She supposed she really should get up now and act like a proper LOTUS member, but planes always put her to sleep.

The plane had come to a full stop, and Shee could hear the pilot descending out of the cockpit and landing on the soft, welcoming earth of Peru. She groaned.

Sitting up, Shee attempted to smooth out the wrinkles in her clothes. Failing miserably, she looked towards Shane as he opened the cabin door.

"Well, you're right. We really should get going."

The cold wind whistled past her. Shee had learned to get used to the cold, having lived in a different, but just as cold, mountain range for quite a while now. She tried to suppress a grin as she saw the effect it had on Shane.
