Welcome to Gaia! ::

Minna's balance is actually surprisingly good considering a lifetime of hopping around on one foot...but she's a hair from falling by the time Tancred's done with her, and Yue falling towards her is absolutely the final straw, to startled, clipped shriek. She tumbles over, Tancred's guardian pretty much on top of her.

Landing on the grass alleviates any pain, but she quickly covers her eyes, cheeks just as intensely red as the twilight allows. Oh, lord, I don't think I was supposed to see that. "What has gotten in to you two?!" she finally manages to sputter from the grass. Her own long skirt is wrapped clear up to her knees now.

Minna accepts the help up, though her face is still intensely red as well. "I don't mind, really...and if it's any consolation at all, not everyone knows that I don't have two legs, either." She smiles, a little sheepishly, but not with any new reservation. "I would love to be friends..." her eyes travel to a hovering topaz switch who's thorougly confused that Minna isn't entirely happy with him, torn between contrition and pleasure at having been included in a fun game by the other switch... "particularly since Zaagade and Tancred seem to already get along well enough to conspire."

Zaagade spins a little at this from being nearly frozen, relieved at some amusement finally finding its way into his mother's mind.

Minna tries not to snicker at the innuendo...she doesn't know Yue well enough to know whether it had been intentional or not, or whether he'd be uncomfortable knowing she'd picked up on it or not, so she quickly suppresses the reaction, and just smiles sweetly. "Zaagade and I were heading to the coast to watch the sunrise...his name means 'sunrise' to the Ojibwe, and I want him to have an appreciation for his namesake."

Hmm...good question. I wish I could ask. I wonder what she'd say?

Minna's eyes sparkle through the bit about Tancred's name, and she finally bows her head a moment to the request and invitation. "Certainly, Yue. It would be our pleasure to share your company and Tancred's." She makes sure that her leg is still secure after the tumble, through her skirt. It is, and she straightens up. "Well then. Shall we?"

Zaagade grins mentally at Tancred and Yue's interaction, and settles himself onto Minna's head, wiggling into her hair.

Minna laughs softly at his note to Tancred. She'll talk to Zaagade about what he had done later.

Her cheeks color at the compliment, but only lthe slightest bit. "Well, to completely shun medical pretentiousness and political correctness, I'm a complete albino." She looks up at him and smiles a casual, comfortable smile. "I often walk in the twilight hours, because I enjoy not having to cover myself against the sun."

She nods, eyes sparkling. "Most certainly, at all times of the year. I know that you do, since Zaagade and I so neatly interrupted...do you prefer to associate them with constellations or mythologies, or simply...enjoy them as they are?"

Zaagade giggles mentally and begins to get ansy again, squirming quite a bit though remaining in Minna's hair for now. Needless to say, he's easily excitable.

Minna blinks at that, though it's hard to tell what she thinks of it really. "So tell me...are you insane, or a Spiritwalker?" she ventures, most politely, smiling that guileless little smile. It's beyond her to consider his actually having been there physically...but her grandmother is a planeswalker, though not as good as what he's describing.
