Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Don't go too far Kalani!" Aura called after him, why was SHE on babysitting duties? She wanted to go have fun! She was going to teach Seraphina how air was better than fire today but oh no, she was made to take care of the mental case instead which was SO not fair, it was Crystal's job to do it this time but oh no, she just HAD to have other plans that she couldn't break, typical.

"But...but Rumble is saying that theres fun to be had over this way!!" He said running further on, having been listening to a voice inside his head again "Rumble says that alot of Nikkus come over here to..." He wasn't watching where he was going and landed straight into the near by lake and since he couldn't swim...well, this wasn't good and Rumble, all he did, was laugh at Kalani's misfortune.

"Kalani!!" Aura called as she ran over, took the bag off from around her neck and dived into the lake, swimming over and helped the flailing Kalani back towards the side of the lake, helping him get out and then climbed out momennts later and shook herself before walking back to see if Kalani was alright "You alright?" She asked, concerned for his well being.

Kalani was breathing heavily but slowly nodded as he just sat there, listening to Rumble laughing still, sure he was starting to quiet down but still, he was laughing still nevertheless.

Aura smiled at him "thank goodness" she said, pleased that it was a nice hot day and they would dry quickly, hopefully, now, he would just want to rest for a little bit, maybe have a nap in the sun, it would make her job easier.

Aura looked up and noticed the other and smiled "hi!" She said as she reached over and pulled the bag close to her, it had some lunch in it thatLenore had made for them, there was enough to feed a family of six but still, it was best to not leave it unguarded, not that she belived this new nikku would try and take it or anything, just incase some other nikku did.

Kalani looked up and quickly backed away again, hating strangers and yet with this action he landed straight back into the lake, once again Rumble starting to laugh once more.

Aura sighed as she got back into the lake and helped the other to the side again and helped him out "Kalani, it is alright! I will talk to her" she said as she climbed out and shook herself before gesturing towards the other, one eye on him and the other on her "please, come with me?" She called to the other.

How to begin this? This wasn't exactly easy to say, how are you meant to tell someone a nikku has what seems to be every phobia and mental illness that has ever been recorded? Aura sighed and smiled at her "may I suggest you stay away from him? I know it seems a little forward and rude and I am terribly sorry for that but he is rather ill and he doesn't like stranger, heck, he doesn't like some of the nikkus he lives with and hes known them for months. His name is Kalani and I am Aura, his caregiver for today and another he he lives with" she said as she checked back to make sure the other was alright and then carried on, her eyes falling back onto the girl in front of her "what is wrong with him is anyones guess really, we have taken him to specialists and doctors and everything else and yet he still shows no sign of changing even though hes on many medications, even they can only do so much for some of the problems he has and the other problems he has can't just be solved with a few meds.

He has a long list of mental illnesses and another just as long of phobias, you name it he has, no idea how it started, no idea if it will ever stop, like I said he is on medication but not all medication works for all things and some medication hasn't been invented yet to help with others and even with the medication hes on he still doesn't seem to be any better, like his body just wont fully accept it and may only work half the time which isn't good. Anyway, as I said in the begining, it is best to just keep your distance, he is one messed up nikku and as one of his caregivers, even I am not 100% sure what he is capable of, we have seen some of what he can do but we don't know the extent of what he is like and can change moods like anything, I guess it is up to you if you care to persue getting close to him, even if you want to become friends with him, but you have been warned" she said, knowing she can't REALLY force someone to stay away from another if they care to get close, if she gets hurt then it is her own bad luck, all she could do is warn the other, it is up to her if she wants to carry on.

Aura sighed "alright, just so you know, I was warned to give explanation to those who care to even enquire about him so they understand and I have, my jobs done" she said stepping back a little "and a pleasure tomeet you" she said politely as she started back towards Kalani " Kalani, this is a friend, her name is Mel, she wants to say hi" she said looking back at the other "just take it nice and slow, no sudden movements" she said, deciding to beon the safe side, she didn't really want to go back into the lake.

Kalani looked up at the other, not entierly sure what he should make of her but this ' friend' word seemed familure to him, it meant something good right? "Go ahead and pounce on her, suck one of her wings, I am sure she would LOVE that and the wings are yummy" Rumble said to him inside his head which, seconds later, Kalani did as he was told and ran over and pounced on her, sucking on one of her wings happily "yummy!" ^__^

"Kalani get down here this instant!" She said as she pulled Kalani off as gently as she could without harming the other "and I did forget to tell you, he has an imaginary friend, Rumble, voice inside his head, tells him to basically do almost everything and anything, I am terribly sorry about this" she said as she gleard at Kalani "you do NOT do that to others!" She said repramanding the nikku who was now watching a butterfly.

Kalani looked up as Rumble laughed " but Rumble said she would like it!" He said to them, this wasn';t fair! Why was he getting told off!? His friend was the one who did saidto do it! You don't see him getting repramanded!

"Kalani, for the last time, there is NO such thing as Rumble, he is nothing but a voice inside your head, a voice that is NOT meant to belistened to" Aura said to him yet again, everyones told him this a hundred times each and still he doesn't learn, this was getting really tiresome.

"He IS real! He is standing right beside me now! He is my best friend and hes NEVER done me wrong!" He said, defending his friend, to him, what Rumble said was ALWAYS right even when others told him it was wrong, to him, Rumble was the only normal one in this world.

Aura sighed and looked at the new commer "welcome to the insanity" she said as she wanderded back a bit, keeping close to the other back grabing the bag so she could maybe get her book out to read.
