Welcome to Gaia! ::

"My... father...?" Mickey asked, blinking. Crap. Mickey didn't have a father, as far as she was concerned. He'd died when she was a toddler, but would it not make sense in this world?

Larissa nodded again, gazing down at the water as she walked alongside Hari.

The boy's head was forced away from the other's back, and Claw had to squint when some of the salty water splashed into his open eyes. One of the angel's hands was plucked off in the attempt to get him away, but the other still had a (slipping) grip around his hip. "No!" he coughed back, some of the water entering his opened moth. He gritted a half-smile anyway; this was starting to spark some interest to him. Claw could have cared less what became of Larissa after she fled- he wasn't doing this for her, after all.

"My father died when I was little," Mickey told Ran, though her tone was surprisingly indifferent. She didn't remember her father. All she knew was that he was an earth demon, but she wasn't about to tell that to these guys. She'd just keep telling little not-lies.

The air was forced out of his lungs from the lunge to his chest, and Claw threw up any of the salt that had entered before hand. That water was soon replaced by a new flow when his head was dunked under the surface. He tried to refill his lungs with air by pushing his head just above the surface, but so far the strength pushing down was remaining greater. His wings jutted out in a move more of self-defense now- the only sign that proved he had been on the offense was that the one of his hands was still clinging onto the side of the boy. It had began to slip every so slightly down because of the water that wet both that, and the stranger's body.

"Ah, that's cool. You and Basa are kinda alike so that would make sense," the teen joked though he got a small push from the male.
"We're nothing alike," the man grunted.
"C'mon, you know she's really athletic. You said so before coming to up her too," Ran laughed, "Besides, you both are really cool and your parents run inns."

The guys that were keeping Claw under the water saw the sudden wings and many of them quickly backed away. The one that had been attacked was still kicking at the boy and his hands were moving around, trying to pry to boy off of him.
"What the hell! It's a bird boy!" one of the guys laughed forcefully.

Involuntarily, Mickey's cheeks tinged a slight pink. She lowered her head and took a sip of the drink so that she would have an excuse for not saying anything right away.

It was another moment of silence before Larissa finally spoke. "At least you got there before he could..." She trailed off, unable to finish her thought.

Hari watched the girl quietly before looking over to Nariko as they approached her. "We're going to back to the inn, all three of us," the man told the kitsune, going over to his duffel bag and taking out the two towels. One was opened and dropped on the kitsune's head so that it covered her head and some of her top. The other towel was wrapped around Larissa, making sure that the neck was covered. "We need to go shopping before that though," he spoke.

Ran seemed to be having a lot of fun, but then again, he had a lot of fun when he was with his friends. "Basa may seem kind of hard to get along with but it's just coz he's bashful," the guy explained, putting his friend into a gentle headlock.
"You talk to much," the guy retorted, taking a light swing at the other.
"Hey! Are we fighting? I wanna fight too!"

"I said get off!" the guy spoke, finally punching at the strange person's face. It was almost as bad as what Larissa had gone through for the guy that Claw had targeted but instead of crying because of the fear, he was starting to get annoyed.
