Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ma. Where we goin'?" Luka had taken to calling Raife "Ma" after hearing a child's greeting on television. Raife didn't have the heart to correct him seeing as he was a girl half the time anyway, and truthfully, he found it kind of endearing. The frei floated just in front of Raife, winding one long tendril of hair absently around his hand and puffing his cheeks out like a blowfish. Distorting his face at will was one of his newer and more enjoyed talents. As he tried to cross his eyes, Raife led him with absent nudges towards the large double doors.

"I'm going here. You're going inside there. To make some new friends, I hope. More like you....god I sound like a segregationist." He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. "I didn't mean it that way."

Squinting unattractively, Luka seemed unphased. "What's a segregationist?" Raife laughed and shook his head.

"Nevermind, Luka. Just...go play. Look, it's so pretty inside!" Raife was impressed by the pretty scenery, but Luka seemed non-plussed.

"Yeah, it's nice. Missing something though."

Raife looked puzzled. "Oh? And what's that?"

"GIRLS AND FOOD!" Luka shouted with all the excitement of his childish mindset. Raife couldn't help but laugh. He'd get along with a certain pirate he knew. He'd have to introduce them later.

"Yeah, there'll be plenty inside, I'm sure. Go on, git." Raife stuffed a pillow and sleeping bag into Luka's waiting arms and hopped back onto his motor scooter. "AND HAVE FUN!"

Luka watched as the scooter drifted away, before sticking his tongue out at the retreating form and floating in through the entrance.

Beaming like a little boy just picked first for dodgeball, if Luka could have bounded over to the pair of Gage and Melisande, he would have. The best he could manage was an excited wobbly floating.

"Hey, man, how's it hangin'?!" He grinned wildly, unware that he sounded exactly like a bad teenage tv special. The television was his preoccupation every minute that Raife made him spend indoors. He certainly spent more time listening to the tube than to his guardian. Without the attention span to wait for an answer, he turned to Meli. "And you, m'lady! Give us a kiss!" He beamed wholesomely, blissfully unaware of the strangeness of his demeanor.

He just wanted to make some friends and meet some chicks! The guys on the tube seemed surrounded with them all the time!

"It's... it's ok..." Lazarus's felt a strange feeling within him as he saw the disappointment on Sevilin's face. It felt like someone just pinch-twisted his heart. His frantic expression quickly turned into a worried frown.

Suddenly he heard voices coming from outside the double doors, from behind him. He turned around curiously and peeked outside. There was Gage, one of the first few Raevans Kyou created, the more recent one with white fluffy hair, and... holy s**t it's that super girly Raevan that was born around the time of Gage!! Laz felt the hair on the back of his neck rose a little as he saw Meli greeting Gage and Luka happily. Laz doesn't know where his fear for cute bright girls come from, but all he know is that he should get away from her as far as possible!!

He whirled around, "Sevvie, let's go in and get some uh.... food or something." Without waiting for an answer, he grabbed Sevvie's hand and started floating hastily further into the pretty mansion, towards the pond where Vyn and Rivener are.

Feeling a little bit more relieved that he had put a good distance between himself and Meli, he finally stopped on the middle of the bridge after passing Vyn and Rivener near the pond. Though, he did heard Sevvie greeting the 3 Raevans near the entrance during the rush. He turned over towards Sevilin, feeling a little guilty that he had dragged Sevvie here.

"I'm sorry Sevvie, I'm sure you would want to go say hi to the other Freis. So if you want to... you could go ahead and do so." averting his eyes from Sevvie's, he pointed towards the group of 3 Freis.

Rivener was glad for the opportunity to talk to someone other than Vyn; even though he didn't dislike her, she WAS a female. Besides, that blue-haired boy was standing near Laz, and seemed to be very friendly with the firey one... He couldn't pass up this chance to sidle up to Lazzie.

Smiling a slow, sensual, slightly mischievious smile, Rivener floated across the bridge to Sevvie and Laz. He tilted his head at Sev, ignoring Laz on purpose, to see what he would do.

"Hello," he offered in that mellow voice. "I'm Rivener."

He wasn't sure if the nail question was aimed at him or Vyn, so he chose not to answer it.

Rivener blinked in mild surprise. It was the first time someone asked him if they could hug him... The girls at the pizza place always tried to do it WITHOUT permission, and when he himself tried to hug people he was usually berated quite thoroughly by his guardian.

He grinned. "Of course you can," he said, and gave Laz a sideways smirk. Seeing as Laz seemed flustered around this fin-eared boy, he must like him! That's what always happened on TV... How would the fire Frei react to someone else hugging his precious one? "Sevilin," he tried out the name.

He liked this blue one. Not LIKE like, not the same as he liked Laz or Roux, but still. He seemed pleasant.

"Hi Vyn! You are very pretty," Sevilin complimented. He lit up happily at Rivener's agreement to his question and immediately reached over to hug the other Frei. "Good. Lazzie jumps when I hug him and then mom told me to not to do it."

"But people on TV do it," He announced, as if that was all that mattered. He let go of Riv after his hug and turned to Vyn. He liked her, maybe because of the fact that he loved plants, even though he could never take care of them for some reason. He bowed to her instead, imitating what people did after girls curtsied.

Gage was quite surprised, as one might read in the widening of his strangely inverted eyes, at the reaction he recieved from the very pink Raevan. From someone so feminine and pretty, he would expect a reaction far less enthusiastic. Maybe even offensive, if it came to that. The rather kind calling of his name and excited air about Melisande was confusing, and certainly not expected.

"It is lovely," the radioactive Frei offered, briefly wondering if he should offer the female a hand. He chose not to, rather intent on merely basking in the kind girl's attention and not destroying her flowers in the process. Unfortunately, it was then Melisande invited a strange Raevan over, and the only thing Gage could truly "bask" in was slight confusion.

"Hanging...? Kiss?!" Gage fretted, swirling a bit as he floated backwards and away from the other male. He was well aware that the former statement had been directed towards Melisande, but it was disturbing all the same. Unlike Luka, Rivener, and possibly the majority of the Raevan, Gage was kept far away from television. Julian may have allowed the odd, usually black and white movie, but hardly regular television series and the like. It would have ruined, in the scientist's opinion, Gage's initial education.

Quickly, Gage turned away from the two Frei he was near, wondering if he should flee to a different area of the mansion altogether.
