Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lily seems to be in thought for a moment. "I... have heard of her, but I've never really been to the pools before, only at the very beginning, I believe." she ponders for a bit. "I remember Orion.... and Emmy.... and it could be that I have seen you as a shell." she grins at him. "So what do you usually do here in the pools?" she tilts her head as she looks quizically at him.

Shine released the shell so it could swim, but kept an eye on it to make sure it wouldn't go too far away. She nodded in agreement. "I'll be happy to see this one out of its shell too. But I may regret that once it does hatch." She chuckled lightly.

Albrecht took Saiko's hand and nods, "We shall!" He proclaimed a bit excitedly and began to lead her back.



Kabuto nodded slightly at Shine giving a small smirk, "Sometimes it is like that I suppose. Though I am sure they will love you as you are taking very good care of it." He was trying to be a little helpful, and perhaps hopeful as well.

Saiko smiled, and followed Albrecht back underwater and to the cave. She played with her star half and smiled.



Sage grinned, 'People say we look alike. Maybe it's the pink.' He shrugged and laughed looking at Saiko submerge, then he turned back to Lily, 'I felt old when I didn't see any familiar faces around, let along adults. Well there was those other adult Pearlaice. I think Sasuke, Ino, Miroku is what they were called? Something like that anyways. There was also this ... Sakura girl aswell.'



Sage grinned, 'This Sasuke must be the lucky man then, eh?' He laughed. He would always look for ways to compliment people. Although he got a little out of hand with Kokoro. He grinned, 'It seemed this Sakura girl liked him. How did she take it when she found out?' He had been sleeping through the fights so he had no clue what had happened. But he knew, it couldn't have been pretty.

Wyna glanced over to Albrecht and Saiko and blinked. Where were they going? How come Albrecht didn't invite her? She puckered her lips and scrunch-up her nose. Who cares? And she went back to her coloring.

D, of course, was in the heated pool. Such a nice place to be, he though. Very relaxing. He sipped at his cup of tea. A blink and a scornful look to Miroku; it was soon replaced with a smile. He went back to his tea.

"Interesting. So you still call them siblings even though they aren't pearlaice. I guess that means I've got a lot of siblings too."

Just about then, the shell in Shine's hands begins to clap hard and a glowing light seems to come from inside. Surprised, Shine releases her hold on it and watches closely. The shell floats in place for a few moments before it suddenly pops wide open, revealing a strange looking pearlaice that was a little less than half Shine's height.

"It... hatched!! And it's got an extra tail??" She looked close at the little pearlaice, whose eyes suddenly opened and stared at her.

A bit surprised, the baby swam backwards and almost into Kabuto. He then looked up at the gray-haired pearlaice and proceeded to zip behind Shine. Moments later, he poked his head out to look around Shine at Kabuto again.

"Hehehe, don't be scared, little brother."

Kabuto was about to comment to Shine's newest sibling when all of the sudden his own shell began to burst into a lot of bubbles. Tons of bubbles...Too many bubbles.


Next thing he knew there was a girl-child pearlaice in his arms swishing her fin about, "Let me go you brute!" The child insisted. Kabuto was so surprised he just dropped her, but since she was in water she floated to her rump with a soft squeak, "I didn't say drop me!" She squealed a bit and started to cry.

Kabuto's eyes widened a little as he came out of the shock then he bent to try and comfort her, "Hey! I'm sorry little-one. I didn't mean to..I just was..surprised."

"I..I...I.." The girl sniffed and huffed a moment.

"I truely am sorry, Latis. I would never hurt my siblings" The girl settled down and stopped.

"Y..You know my name!" She exclaimed getting over her indignation.

He nodded and grinned at her, "Of course I do. How can I protect you otherwise. Now, meet Shine and her..sibling."

Suddenly Latis felt embarrassed about her behavior and waved a small hello.

All Kabuto could think was she knew how to say a lot in such a short time..

Albrecht smiled at Saiko though he appeared nervous. He blinked at the slight noise near by, and noticed his little sister had hatched...He shall find a welcoming gift for her when they go exploring. Albrecht then swam toward Wyna, "Hey...Me..And Saiko wish to invite you to come with us...Y..You don't have to..We..can find treasure together." He hoped that would make her want to go if not he couldn't very well force her. He glanced back at Saiko for a moment as he waited for Wyna's reply.
