Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tia nodded, "One more cup of your wonderful hot chocolate won't hurt me.." She smiled politely. Something told her that there was more to this woman than she let on, but she let it slide. There's always another day and another cup of hot chocolate to chat on.

She sighed inwardly remembering her task at hand. She looked around as she waited for the next cup.

Not much time left..and I haven't even searched half of the city.. She thought frustratingly.

Tia looked down slightly amazed at the speed of Lindly's service. "That was quick." She smirked and took the cup in her hand.

"So do you know where all the ladies hang out at night?" She asked after taking a sip of her hot chocolate.

Tia caught the blush and grinned behin her cup. She couldn't help but feel cozy to this wonderful little shop. It was rare when warmth actually pierced her naturally cold body.

The vampire waited till the woman returned to give her an answer. She had no idea where to start looking for this friend of Alice's anyway and any clue of where girls hang out would be wonderful to get.

Tia raised an eyebrow, "Mmm...best sea breeze eh? Then I must go there.." She exasperated with a chuckle.

Suns almost gone...I wish I wasn't so sensitive to the sun.. She sighed inwardly.

Putting her attention back on Lindly she asked, "Would you like to give me the official tour?" She asked slyly with a smirk.

Tia chuckled, "Great!" She replied a little over enthusiasticaly and blushed and looked down, "Sorry..um when do you get off...wait you're your own boss right?..So it's pretty much whenever you want to get off...well when do you want to get off..or is it too soon? I actually have no idea when the club actually opens...oh my goodness I'm babbling...sorry again.." She looked up and back down very intently to her drink, shaking her head at herself.

What is wrong with you? She yelled at herself. You trying to scare her away? You're just going out for the night..not jumping into anything big dummy..

Tia raised her eyebrows when Lindly turned away from her but relaxed a little when she saw it was just her drink the woman was obviously hiding from her. The vampire returned her smile, "What's in the cup if I may ask?" The girl fidgeted a little as she looked outside.

Come on..come on...go down faster...I hate twilight...

She blew into her drink a little just to see the steam to come off. Chuckling a little at how little it took to amuse her.

The door opens and a nearing-middle aged man hurries a little girl in. Although the man is clearly Caucasian the child looks asain.

"What are we doin' now papa?"

"We're getting something to drink honey."

"Why we doin' that, papa?"

"Because I'm tired and thirsty honey."

"Why are you tired papa?"

"Because moving is hard work honey."

The little girl seems to ponder that for a bit. Her father takes the time to get her seated. She looks up curiously as the man takes a brief moment of rest. All to brief, he things to himself, as the little girl's eye is caught by something sparkling. Here eyes light up and she starts to bounce excitedly.

"Oooh! Papa! I want it. It's soooo pretty!"

"Settle down, Rumi. If you behave for tea then I may buy it for you. OK?"

The girl sits into her seat, excitement barely constrained. "OK papa-san. I'll be extra good. You'll see!"

Rumi giggles and ducks below the table. Eric shakes his head and looks over the list briefly. "Some green tea, if you would."

"And a cookie," chirps a little voice from under the table.

"And a cookie," the man says with a laughing sigh. "Oatmeal, if you have them."
