Welcome to Gaia! ::

"What are you doing?" piped up a curious voice belonging to one tulipa puchella specimen. A sweet smile was upon the teen's face and it made her eyes light up like pools of dark rose water. Her green dress was smoothed but it wrinkled on its own despite the girls insisting hands. "Are you new here? What's your name? Clearly this girl was full of questions and it was only the manners her mother impressed upon her that kept them from spewing forth.

Kitten, oblivious to the fact that someone had entered, was busy scribbling away at her new assignments. There were plans to be made and things to be researched. A blueprint of the Darwin Wing was spread before her with numerous scribbles and words scratched out; clearly the woman just couldn't decide what she wanted to do. She was really going to need some help soon.

Seveda's eyes slipped to the abandoned journal and she lifted her brows before looking back to this so called 'Emily' with a wide grin. "I'm not used to not being 'the new one'," Seveda confessed with a shrug that brushed her shoulders against the looping twists of her soft pink/purple hair.

At the sight of Emily's tongue being shown to her the teen's expression became perplexed. Kitten didn't allow her to watch TV and Kitten had never done such an action, so she knew not how to react. "Why did you do that? Is there something on your tongue that you wish to be removed?"

The girl was oblivious to the questions, and you couldn't really blame her, especially given the confused look in her eyes.

Kitten lifted her head at the murmurred sound of voices and she furrowed her brow. Was that child talking to her plants again? The whole ordeal had started of cute, but it was growing tiresome. Hopefully when Seveda began helping Kitten with the animals in the Darwin Wing she'd stop talking to inanimate objects and start talking to living things. Not that plants were technically alive, Kitten just hoped that more than a leaf would benefit from her girl's sweet voice.

"Kitten, my mama, is the newest observer. Actually, she's a researcher now. She should be around here somewhere..." the girl said absently, her voice trailing off and a wistful look blanking her face.

As if knowing she was being spoken about, Kitten turned the corner and came face-to-face with the girl named Emily and her darling Vale. "Oh, uhm, hello," Kitten managed, not having been expecting to see a person conversing with Seveda. "You're not a plant." Genius. Pure. Genius.

Kitten had noticed that the girl was acting rather...immature, but she didn't think it a negative aspect unless it was a negative impact. As far as Kitten could tell the woman was just trying to be cute with Seveda and Seveda no doubt thought it was quite a great deal of fun. Seveda enjoyed anything out of the ordinary, idle conversation. Kitten was a wondeful mother but she wasn't the best for gossip and fun.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Emily. May I introduce Seveda, if she hasn't already introduced herself, and myself, Kitten. If you need any help with anything by all means please don't hesitate to ask, I'd be more than pleased to help you out. Might I ask what it is you're doing back here though?" Seveda paled slightly at Kitten's speech. Yes, she had forgotten to introduce herself. "Yea, I'm Seveda..." she'd chime in with a bashful smile.

"Nhadala spoke of me?" the Vale asked with an excited tone, seeming to visibly wriggle with happiness at the thought of her good friend mentioning her. People didn't go around mentioning people unless they liked them; that or the person wanted to cause others harm and Nhadala definitally wasn't the type of person to do that. Kitten didn't much seem to react to the news that people mentioned her, she had been recently promoted so she was used to people whispering about her as she passed.

"A greenhouse keeper? I believe Edwin's in charge of them," she started before wrinkling her nose and looking about the greenhouse curiously. Seeds? Kitten hadn't ever heard of that, but it made sense. Someone had to plant all these greenhouse babies and Edwin surely didn't have enough arms. "I'm afraid I don't know Miss Emily, I never did that so I'm afraid I'm a bit uneducated on the matter. I could find out if you'd like?" she offered with a warm smile.

Busy?

Kitten looked over her shoulder in the direction of the table she'd left, thinking about all the things that had probably piled up in the short amount of time she'd been away. Yes, Kitten was very busy, but she didn't want the woman to know that. It was the researcher's job to help others and help others she would. "Of course I'm not too busy. Please, allow me to find him. Enjoy Seveda's company during my absence. If you enjoy romance novels she's the perfect person to talk to," Kitten said with a smile and a lifted hand to wave as she moved off to locate this elusive Edwin.

Seveda blinked and turned her head to look at Emily as she'd momentarily let her mind slip and begun to imagine about the things she'd be doing that night, such as starting that new book of hers. "Hmm? What did I do?" she inquired, smiling at Emily obliviously.

At the question the girl paused, putting a finger to her lips as she pondered to herself before shrugging and shaking her head, "I lke anything worth reading I suppose." A finger was pulled into her mouth and she began to chew lightly upon the nail of her index finger. Seveda wasn't really happy with the answer personally, but she thought it was the best at the moment.

As she thought and chewed she suddenly felt like she could hear Kitten scolding her about chewing on her nails. Quickly her hands both flew to the front of her gown and she bundled the green cloth into clenching fists. "I suppose maybe Mercedes Lackey. I really love anything written by her. Oh! I really, really love Tamora Pierce as well. They both write so wonderfully and their stories are exciting. I don't think I have a favorite book though, there's just too many to pick from."
