Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It still makes me feel bad due to you jumping when I did it," Shayde murmured softly as he made a quick shadow check of where everyone was and if there were any enemies nearby. He gently kissed Sky back on the lips for a moment.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Ephraim asked softly in a more serious tone while his cheeks burned a soft red.

"Still...," Shayde mumbled softly before setting his fingers against Sky's lips. "Not that I really care or anything, but um... How many others have you gone and done it with? You just seem to have a lot of experience in it is why I'm asking..."

"I wasn't sure if you believed in such a silly thing... It might be why I had that dream... And why I haven't freaked out around you," Ephraim murmured with a gentle smile.

"Well, I'm glad you were honest with me," Shayde smiled lightly as he gently returned each of Sky's kisses. "It's fine actually. You didn't even know I existed at the time so it doesn't bug me. As for Xephyr..." He kissed Sky a bit more deeply for a moment before pulling back slightly. "To put it simply, if I ever catch his shadow's presence near you or this house, he'll rue the day he was born. You don't deserve such abuse. You're so... Sweet and gentle. He had no right to get mean about things."

"It's the only thing I can think of to match up with things so I'm just gonna go with it," Ephraim said with a slight shrug as he lifted his forehead from her shoulder. He lightly kissed her on the lips on a whim before quickly shifting slightly so that his face, now a bright red, was hidden behind his hair again.

"You're welcome, Sky. Do you need me to numb your wings again?" Shayde murmured softly between kisses, his arms gently resting on Sky's shoulders in his way of hugging him without touching his wings.

"Kay," Ephraim breathed lightly before kissing her again, but without the quick drawback as he'd done earlier. He'd kind of expected a slap for kissing her so suddenly, but she hadn't slapped him so it made things feel a bit more comfortable.

Maso opened his eyes and stared blankly at Krystina for a moment before curling up closer to her back. He gently kissed her on the shoulder before starting to try getting his brain to wake up more. How long had he been asleep?

Sheik flashed a light smile at Kansei as his bright ruby red eyes shifted over towards her. He pointed at Kana beside him and mouthed, "she still asleep?".

Lucius had shifted partially into his wolf form, mostly just being claws, his ears and tail being out, and was back to sitting in the tub with several scorch marks on his skin. He'd been shocked several times for trying to get out of the bathroom and trying to track down Kansei's whereabouts. Now he was twitchy and waiting for someone to step into the bathroom even if on mistake.

Hades remained asleep on Lucius' bed although he'd fallen into a deep sleep this time so it'd be harder to wake him up.

Trevor sat up and glanced at Truth, his eyes having tears in them as he snapped out of his dream of the day of his retirement. "How long was I out?" he mumbled rubbing his eyes with the palms of his hands.

Shayde nodded slightly as a thin black line opened up near Sky's back. "Let's stretch your wings out a little while a numb it..." he murmured softly before gently touching an uninjured section of one of his wings, the little blue moths flying out of the shadows along with a few pinkish-red moths. I hope I'm not making the pain worse just because these are dark magic...

"You're a good kisser, Rissa," Ephraim chuckled lightly as he gave Rissa's hand a light squeeze, his face still a soft red.

"Yea. I feel like I've been sleeping for an eternity, but I'm well rested now," Maso responded with a light smile. He kissed her softly at the corner of her lips before tapping her lightly on the nose. "What about you?"

"Bad, Kana. I'm feeling alright although I'd really like to move around," Sheik responded gently brushing the back of his hand against her cheek. "So where'd everybody run off to?"

"Love...touch us one time...last for a lifetime..." Hades mumbled lightly in a hoarse voice in his sleep before tightly gripping the towel still beside him and curling into a ball. His eyes flickered open as he glanced across the room at Lianna. She was still asleep.

"Mmkay. Wanna go check in on your uncle with me?" Trevor muttered as he stretched and stood up.

Shayde paused after stretching out Sky's first wing. "Will dark or black magic hurt you?" he asked softly, his bangs falling in front of his face to cover up his uneasiness.

"I never would've known that was your first kiss if you hadn't have said anything," Ephraim responded lightly.

"It's nice getting some peaceful sleep. I slept like the dead," Maso chuckled lightly as he gently held her close to his chest.

Stop reverting back to those days, Rune. You're no longer Runealis Sareila. You're now Hayden Să Lazarei, Hades thought sourly as he covered his face with his hands. He could still hear the words to My Heart Will Go On playing in the back of his mind. It reminded him so much of Masao, Watari's childhood friend, and all the times him and her had been together.

"I'm sure he is, but it makes it seem like we care," Trevor teased while heading towards the room where Sheik was laying. "I hope we're not interrupting anything."

"Sheshu ne, Tyvinda,"" Sheik growled in a language that only the Sheikah knew. "Hey, Truth. I was wondering where everyone vanished off to." He flashed a rather childish smile as he pushed himself into a sitting up position only to grimace slightly.

"Ouch, Sheik. I can't believe you reverted back to our language just to tell me to shut up," Trevor pouted before sitting down near Sheik's feet. Sheik just stuck out his tongue in response.

"Mmkay... If your wings start hurting too badly, I'm going to stop with the butterflies and get you some of Hades' magic medicine. I can't use any other kinds of magic and I don't wanna hurt you by using dark magic if it's just gonna hurt you," Shayde murmured softly while starting to stretch out the second wing.

"Yea right," Ephraim snickered as he brushed Rissa's hair out of her face only so he could stick his tongue out. His attention quickly shifted to the wall as his expression became serious again. "Did you feel and hear that?" he asked softly..

"I'm just... Trying to put the past behind me," Hades mumbled from behind his hands, his voice still hoarse sounding. He cleared his throat before removing his hands from his face. "It's hard putting some things in the back even though I know they're dead..."

"Aw. That's really nice, Kansei," Trevor smiled lightly before glancing at Truth. "The language he used was that of the Sheikah, a tribe of the desert. All of the Sheikah have several things in common; the Eye of Truth tattooed on the backs of our necks..." He lightly pulled Sheik forward so he could show the tattoo of an eye.

"Sheshu ne, Tyvinda means shut up, Trevor in the Sheikah language,"" Sheik muttered removing Trevor's hand from his head before lightly tapping near his eye. "We have red eyes, the males usually have blonde hair while the females usually have red hair although there have been some accounts of it being vice-versa and we have dark tan skin. The Sheikahs were eventually replaced by the Gerudo tribe." He lightly kissed Kana on the cheek back before glancing down at his torso being completely bandaged.

"Although there are some Sheikahs that still live, our tribe of the Sheikah ends with Sheik, Sheisha, Vynatti, Vynattu, myself and the few Sheikah still out there. Tyvinda is my real name, Sheik never changed his name, Sheisha is Sheila's, Vynattu is Wataru's and Vynatti is Watari's or Maso's. I'll try not to. I just can't stand laying there," Trevor murmured softly as he stretched his feet out in front of him. "You and Deception are only half Sheikah so I decided not to involve you, your sister or your mother in the Sheikah tribe's death thus half of the reason you don't have the Eye of Truth tattoo. The other half was also because you weren't around when you were twelve so I wouldn't have been able to give you the tattoo even if you wanted it."
