Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lucien couldn't help but laugh at Nova who was sitting on his shoulders and was clinging to his hair, giving him a look that said that he wasn't allowed to go away from long periods of time ever again! Every time he left he came home looking different so in her mind change and leaving went hand in hand. She was babbling at him in a talkative sort of way, telling him all sort of stories.

He grinned up at her some, not minding at all the way that she was tugging at his hair and clinging on. He had missed her, missed everyone and he was rather happy to be home again, "So I hear that you spent a lot of time playing with Yuki." He said to her as he walked along, and she gave a giggle. It would seem that she had grow quite attached to her dragon uncle since he was a lover of flowers and plants which attracked the bugs that she so loved.

She was about to say something else when a butterfly was suddenly heading her way. She lifted a small hand up to it and it landed there, she grinned before looking over from where it had come from. Wait... Ah! It was Cielra! She gave a loud, squealing sound both hands waving in the air to try to get the cats attention which made the butterfly flap off in an annoyed sort of way. Lucien glanced over the way that Nova was starring and saw what she saw... and with her was Aylana.

Lucien knelt down when Cielra came bounding over to them, helping Nova to slide down off of his shoulders so that she could be at the same height as her friend. Nova gave a happy, cooing sound as she reached her hands out to her kitty friend, snuggling on her happily. He gave a grin as the two friends got reaquainted before lifting his now brown eyed gaze to look over at Aylana, smiling at her.

He'd changed yes, was a taller though he'd found that he wasn't going to get as tall as he had wanted to when he was little. Well at least he'd hit the six foot mark if nothing else? He lifted a hand to wave at Aylana, before looking back to Cielra and Nova, "Shall we go over and saw 'Hello' to your mother?" He asked of the kitten girl. He felt more ready this time then the last time they had crossed paths, content even and happy. Things were finally put to rest in his mind the last time so now he could allow things to move forward, see what happened. He wanted to at the very least remain friends with her, they shared so very much after all.

He walked with the girls the short distance between where he was to where she was, "Hello." He said as he reached her side.

Lucien watched as Nova followed her friend to the sand box best that she could, crawling along her wings and head wings flapping in an excited sort of way, when he knew that she was alright with her friend in the box he turned to look at Aylana, nodding, "Mmm, yeah." He looked down at himself and smiled, "Feels good to be. I feel like a whole new man even."

He wondered for a moment what he should say to her, what he should do. He'd really figured that after their last run in that that was it but to stummble across her again... Nova had given no chance for him to decide how to approach the situation instead he'd been thrown in and so here he was.

He looked over at Nova and Cielra, "Nova is so used to playing with my brothers and Mom... I know she is probably more then happy about getting to play with someone her own age." He said, smiling a bit as he watched the pair.

He gave a bit of a grin then lifting his hand up to push his hair back out of his face though it only fell back into place when he moved his hand, "Thanks." He said, she could still make him happy with the simplest words, how odd he thought to himself before he watched her as she pulled her hair up. He found himslef blinking when he felt the odd tug that wanted to wrap his arm around her... he shook his head as if trying to clear that line of thoughts and said, "I rather like my new look too. Different but great none the less." To get his brain thinking on other things.

Nova gave a peek at the butterflies, tilting his head as if listening closely to what it was that they were talking about. She then looked over to Cielra and gave her a bright smile, if only she could tell the kitty how grateful the colorful group of butterflies were to her for what she had done for them. The fort it would seem was a great amount of help. Cielra was such a nice kitty!

"Not long ago, went on a trip actually and this was the result." He said, motioned to himself, "It was... that place is great, really pretty and interesting people. A shame I couldn't understand things for the most part." It had been a bit annoying to be able to see everything, watch what was going on but be unable to make sense of the language. He had decided that since he was going to go back he was going to have to learn it so that he could better get around, "Ah, but I don't need to tell you that. You have been to Greece." In fact it was her that had first made him want to visit the place, the way she spoke of it.

Nova looked down at the butterflies that were hiding then over ot Cielra wondering what she was looking for. She looked around then back down at he butterflies, they were talking amongst themselves about flowers and she thought about the flowers that Uncle Yuki had and how much they would no doubt love them. To bad they were so far from home at the moment, she turned to her kitty friend again before scooting a little closer as if to try to figure out what she was up too.

Lucien looked over at Aylana, listening closely as she spoke to him but was only able to make out the word 'Greece' since it was the same of a place. The rest of it... sort of tugged at his mind but he wasn't quite able to figure it out, "I am sure I will have plenty of chances to immerse myself in the language, I will figure it out soon enough I hope." He said, he would see about getting himself some books or maybe those learning tapes as well so that he could figure it out that much more quickly.

"I did find the place to be amazing, so much going on there and interesting people and beings." He murmured.

Nova looked over to where Cielra was motioning, tilting her head to the side before she started over towards the injured butterfly. Oh no... the poor little thing! She lifted a hand up to reach out to it, as if trying to get it to come to her. She wasn't exactly sure if she could tame an injured bug though, surely it being hurt would make it a bit more standoffish then normal.

She had to try though, they were her friends!

Lucien squeezed his eyes closed, hands cletched to fists at his sides. This was the worst, he wanted to wrap his arms around her, wanted to hold her, to... he wanted a lot of things that were foolish, "Aylana..." He murmured, his voice sounding a bit unsure. What was it he was supposed to do, to say? He had no idea at the moment... his hands itched to wrap around the woman that he loved and still loved, the temptation to strong and he did just that. He held her tightly, buried his face against her hair and for a moment just held her, allowing for that moment to feel as if she was still his.

Nova tilted her head to the side, poor butterfly. It must be so scared, two such big things in comparision to it looming over it when it was injured, she took a cue from Cielra to back up a little then laid her hand out on the sand, open and waited to see if the little one would come to her. Seemed odd to think of something as little with how small Nova herself was.
