Welcome to Gaia! ::

You're a disgrace to us all!
Get out of here! You don't belong!
Why have you brought HIM here? That human shouldn't be here.

Kasis sat on the edge of his bed, his head down staring at the wooden planks, his heart heavy and his head throbbing. Sunlight barely filtered into the room, the blinds not yet opened to let the full sunshine fill the room. His thoughts drifted toward last night. His reaction toward his "cursed" language, the people who he had interacted with, and the feeling of dread from the other people's past. One person killed his whole family. My problem seems like a happy moment compared to that. Kasis' hand drifted toward his human ear and moved some hair behind it. He was so human, every physcial aspect of him was human except for the ears. He had no excess fur, no tail, and no claws, he practically was human. He tried standing up again, but his body gave out on him and he plopped back onto his bed.

"I should find the kitchen..."

Finally managing to pull himself out of bed and find his footing, he quietly stepped out of his room and wandered the halls trying to find signs of the kitchen. He saw the main hall and sluggishly walked over toward the kitchen. He opened the door carefully to see if anyone was in. The smell of alcohol still lingered in the air, but the room was empty. Kasis quickly dashed toward the fridge and opened it up, looking hastily for the trout.

Kasis' hand quickly shot up to his mouth pushing the trout back in, he fell backwards at the same time as he saw the cook peek over the door. After swallowing the food, he coughed almost having choked.

He laughed nervously, "Uh, yah i am." He quickly got back on his knees and bowed his head. "I apolgize for ruining your wonderful dinner last night. I saw all the extra food in here and assumed it was my fault becuase i made such a rukus. I'm deeply sorry."

"Ah still. Having them worry about me is still being troublesome. I'll keep my emotions under control from now on. Well i'll try at least."

He lifted his head and looked into the fridge door the carton of orange that he had left out was put back. He took it out and shook it. There wasn't much left so he unscrewed the top and downed the rest with his last peice of trout. He closed the door and sat at the table.

"So um... what is your name? Or can i just call you Cook?"

"Heh, it seems so strange to me. All my life i have lived by myself, barely getting through life day after day. But i suddenly come here and everyone accepts me with open arms." He put his head down on the table laying on his arm, his fingers massaging his cat ear.

"It just seemed so alien to me, all this kindness. And that language. I was forbidden to speak that language, the one that my mother knew. Though it was refresing to speak it again. Maybe i will like it here."

"So tell me Saradin, how long have you been here, and how have you lived over 1300 years?"

"My human mother was Français. Thats all i knew about it. I snuck out of the village at times and hung out in a city where there were abundant speakers of the language and i taught myself. But my clan hated me for learning it. They called it evil that i knew the language of humans. But then again they're hyporcrites for speaking the language."

He snickered at all the things wrong in his culture. Such a hypocritical group.

"On occasion a little of that language will slip out. Only at times of high emotion though."

He listened to Saradin's word and smiled. "I may already have found the acceptance. ^_^"

"Ok, see ya later." He watched Saradin walk out of the kitchen. Kasis just kept his head down on the table and stared around the room. His eyes slid closed and fell asleep.

((I too must go.))
