Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sorrow flew up to the Island to meet up with her husband who would be coming back from a short trip to Nictaros, and they were going to have dinner at the Island with Akuma and Ailes families as well. Sorrow wanted to get there early enough to be of some use rather then being set aside and watching the kids while everyone else worked on getting things set up.

Aure didn't seem to like being carried, but then again she never liked it either when she was her age. Ameerah on the other hand wouldn't quit squirming around she was excited and Sorrow felt a little better when her feelt touched on the island and she could let go of the little fire ball in her left arm. Sorrow never got the words out of her mouth before Ameerah bolted towards Akuma.

"Sister Akuma...!" She impacted her hands coming around in a hug. Sorrow came up and pulled Ameerah back a few steps. "Ammerah running up and hugging people is great if they are expecting it, because Akuma could have been doing something very dangerous or something that required focus." Ameerah dimmed a bit in expression, but looked back at Akuma; "I'm sorry, but papa was telling stories and you sound really great in them. You beat up on some really bad guys, and save the day."

Toole finish loading his pockets and picked up the covered dish they were bringing and drew a symbol on it and it disappeared and he walked out of the kitchen heading upstairs. He gripped the knob to his bedroom; "Aelita, Cynthia, we'll need to be ready to go in about 20 minutes." He opened his door and came in coming to wrap his arms over ailes shoulders setting his chin on her left shoulder peering into the mirror. "Just as beautiful as the day I met you, and the sprites have taken over your rose bushes out back. Went to pick one to stick in your hair and one matched the red ones out front. Apparently they are not ready yet, but just the other day when Jez and Radu were here they didn't seem to mind him picking them. Although i found it a nice gesture when he stuck it Amara's hair, makes me wonder if he'll get the charm of his old man."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jez was not far from home picking berries to go with their meal. Radu was with Ian, and she glanced over to see nothing but her ear twisted a bit further and she smiled turning back to what she was doing; "Zanith, you don't have to lurk in the shadows, I did what you asked me to do and picked three to watch over me while I was out, but something brought you all the way here." Jez finished taking what was ready to be picked off the bush turning she faced the tree she heard his wings from.

Vermillion leaned against the handle of the hoe watching Anabel move about her garden. She seemed to be making a lot more progress clearing the old plants and vegetation so they could plant for this years garden. They had to expand the garden a little more this year despite Anabel's large canning effort Edgar was growing and the pantry shelves reflected it. Vermillion left the hoe blade down to mark his progress, and he walked back the rows to snag anabel about the waist giving her a kiss on the cheek before letting her go as he went over to the steps to pour from the pitcher of lemonade she had made earlier.

Ameerah grined; "Wow, you made it look like winter in here, it looks more fun to make a mess then to make a pie, can I make it snow next time?" Sorrow spoke up; "I think since you're so full of energy to help Akuma out why don't you give her a hand in cleaning up the first mess before you go orchestrating another. You hate cleaning your room so I doubt snow is in the forecast." Ameerah tip toed across the kitchen and dug out the bucket, broom, and dust pan. She filled the bucket slightly and was already wiping things down that she could reach. "I'll help big sister, i can't cook either, but I know how to use these."

Sorrow took the broom and using soft strokes she made piles without grinding it in to the cracks. "I can't make pies, i haven't been taught that far yet, I'm still on lunch foods with Ilyssa, and breakfast with your dad. Hmmm, if the timing is right Toole and Ailes should be here soon, Toole can cook a lot of things, but i don't know about his baking skills."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cynthia was paitent with Aelita for the most part, but when her pestering got to her rather then yelling at her sister she just pestered back with tortuous tickling with ghost hands. I'm ready too pops, just trying to finish reading this book.

Toole smiled; "I love you too, you teleporting us all, or do I get the honors of flying us up there?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jez laughed; "Well there was those hunters last week, but I think they were more interested in the deer then me." Jez put the bowl under one arm, and pulling a slip of paper out she smiled and put it back before nodding to Zanith. "I'm ready to head back now, but I wonder why Kaos wanted this particular patch of bushes. Is there anything special about this area Zanith?" Jez startled walking back towards the cottage making sure she slowed so that Zanith was beside or slightly in front of her.


(when she reaches the cottage)

Jez set the bowl down outside and opening the door she saw her son wearing a tie and had to smile. "You look handsome Radu, and so do you my sweet. I just need to brush out my hair real quick. Jez disappeared to their room for a few minutes and was back out with light green ribbons in her hair to match the green dress she had on. "ready now, sorry to keep you all waiting..."

~~~~~~~

"Go ask your mother, she's out in the garden, but I'm partial to it." Vermillion set the empty glass down; "Although we'd all need to get cleaned up first, that might put us behind a little even though we'd make up some time in the air."

Ameerah loved the whilwind, and allowed it to blow her her out the door in a fit of giggles. Sorrow shook her head and sat down; "Well Ameerah seems to enjoy getting blown away, you may find yourself doing that again at some point, she's a thrill junkie sometimes, or an incredible pansy if you ask her sister." Sorrow glanced at Aure reading and Sorrow summoned the dress she was working on for Ameerah. Sorrow stiched patiently while looking up; "So is there anything you need us to do besides baking?"

Ameerah came running back in; "Can you do that again, that was great, and somewhat refreshing."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Toole looked concerned; "You okay, you don't look so well, and granted we were up late but still that's never affected your pep before." Toole took her hand and escorted her out of the room, once out the door he raised his voice slightly; "Aelita, Cynthia, time to go, and where flying so if you wish to maintain hair bring your hair covers." Toole started down the steps and stepping out the front door to a small clearing before forest trees started up again. "I never get tired of this view, I'm glad Ian was nice enough to let me move our house here, and let Cynthia help you climb up if you're still feeling weak?"

(A few moments later)

Toole landed on the front lawn the house shuddering slightly and Ameerah smiled; "Ailes is here, but she is so tired so i'll go fix her up." Ameerah held out her hand and Kaos's potion bag flated in and she grasped ahold of it and walked to the door. Sorrow spoke up without looking up from her stiching; "Ameerah, you do know, you dad said to not mess with that until he taught you to properly use it, and..." "I'm not going to use, i'm going to let Ailes use it to make herself better." Sorrow looked up and pointed back to where the bag came from; "Put it back, it's nice you think of others, but Ailes is an accomplished potion maker herself. If she felt as if she needed something she would have already made it by now." Ameerah turned around and walked out of the room to go put the bag away.

~~~~~~~~~

Jez smiled; "Of course I do Radu, and someday a pretty little girl will make everything worth your discomfort as well." Jez watched them depart and stepping outside she picked upt he bowl and placed her arm in Zanith's. "I see, well then, I'll have to keep that in mind when I make you a pie tomorrow afternoon. I'm ready for the stomach churning transport." Jezabelle never really enjoy teleporting, for some reason it upset her stomach, but it always cleared up a few minutes once they arrived.

Vermillion set the glass down and followed her up and closing their room door he came up behind Anabel wrapping his arms around Anabel and gave her a few kisses on her neck before pulling back. "So how may I be of assistance...perhaps here?" Vermillion pulled on the string that tied the apron on, and strings fell to the sides of the apron up front, he lifted the top part off and tossed it on the bed; "Maybe these..."Vermillion unbuttoned the few buttons that were on her her dress, kissing the area underneath them, and leaned back. "Am i warm, or cold?"
