Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elias once more found himself in the comfort of that chair in the sitting room, he was thinking so deep in thought that the world around had almoset vanished, He was thinking as most men often do of the woman that he loved. The Lady Naliah, but more specifaclly, how was he going to really show how he felt? Flowery letters and innocent flurtations were on thing, but he had to shor her more. But how? This was the problem that Elias now faced, and there was also the problem of what would happend after all, Elias had known true heartbreak only once in his life and was not in the mood to do it again. But he had made his decision, he would do more than just tell her, he would make her understand, not by words but something much deeper, more complex like real love, he only had to find that answer. And so Elias sat there thinking, the smoke from his cigar coming out in long slow mowing tendril from his mouth.

Today was going to be that day that Pheaura faced the music. She rehearsed what she said a thound times in her head. Over and over again. She got up and made herself look as presentable as she could. She went back to the manor and just looked at it. She really did miss her friends and she needed a place to stay. Well, at least until she found a place of her own. She grinned and marched right up to the door and knocked.

Aura jumped awake again for the millionth time that night. Well it was morning now, still to early. Ecara was crying again. Looking over to the bed from her spot in the chair in the corner, the little bond child could be seen sitting on the bed next to her father, holding her jaw and crying her eyes out. It tore at Aura's heart, and part of her was happy that Saradin never made it back to the room last night. The man needed his sleep, but there was no way he would of been able to sleep last night. Aura knew she and Eclipse didn't. With a sigh, Aura pushed herself from the chair and referenced the book sitting open on her desk once again. Seemed that it was useful in something, for it also seemed that Ecara was in fact changing.

All Eclipse could do was curl around the child, wrap her up in himself and his wings and comfort her, nuzzle her, try to soothe her. It wasn't pain his daughter was practically screaming and crying over but it was pressure and frustration. And there was nothing he could really do. If she was loosing teeth like they suspected then they would have to run their course. Through his daughter's crying he picked up the faint knocks at the door. Though is was only him and Aurahkah and Ecara in their room, his whispered for the sake of his daughter. "Someone is here..."

Ecara only cried harder. It was so frustrating, and there was so much pressure. She had even me told to try the route Cymarron had suggested to her, chew things. But that didn't help and only frustrated her more. All she did was cry. Ears back against dual colored hair, dual colored eyes filled with tears that spilled over without stop.

She had probably never felt so powerless in her life. Walking back over to the two, she pet Ecara gently. "Mommy has to leave you for just a moment." A hand of protest grabbed her wrist. Aura gently pulled it off. "Just for a moment sweetheart. Then I'll try to find something else to help, okay?" She kissed Ecara's forehead then forced herself from the room and away from the child's crying and calling as she let hre bedrom door shut, sending the hall into quiet. A slow walk down the hall before she heard Elias' voice. Then in thief like fashion she found herself peeking around corners. Then she noticed who Elias was talking to, whispering out the word, her own ears not wanting her to talk to loud to spare them. "Pheaura..."

Elias had been prepared to recieve such an attack and found himself taking a few steps back, even his massiv body moved by the ferocity of her hugs. "Yes I believe she is her room with the young mistress Ecara and the Sir Eclipse." he said, half out of breath, "I do not mean to belitlle you attention towards this old fool, but I need to breath somtimes, M'lady." He laughed removing his cigar from his mouth, so as to not drop it on her head.

Pheaura stepped away from her old friend. "I am sorry." her grin widened. "I forgot how much of a push over you are." She took a good look around the entrance. "I wonder if she still has my painting....." Pheaura trailed off that thought.

She then took notice of Aura. "Hi," she smiled, then quickly frowned. She didn't know if she'd be recieved well. "I am sorry to intrude in your home like this, but after mother...anyway I need a place to stay, at least until I can find a place of my own. I won't be any bother."

Elias smiled, and wrapped one of his massive arms around the pettie Lad Pheaure, and flashed a grin to the Lady Aura. "Don't think she'll be any rouble at all, besides compared to a toothing Ecara, and overactive Esmeralda and an overprotective Tyler, she should be a walk in the park, so what do say mommy can I keep her?" Elias said with a childish grin on his face, it seemed that his new resolutiion to tell Lady Naliah his feelings for her had put him in high spirits.

*Edit* Elias let out a powerful laugh, one of those that seemed to rumble through the house. "Yup Esmeralda still asleep, so these are the few precious in which I am afforded some time to myself, I'm just waiting for the Lady Naliah to show her wonderful face." he smiled. "I could not help but notice the frustration coming from the young mistress Ecara, I could help with, there are some potions that I know off that will at least numb the pressure, until the teeth are removed or fall out," he said.

"You know about Ecara?" She laughed almost nervously. "Please don't tell me her crying was keeping you up." She gave a sigh then another smile and crossed her arms. "I don't know. You have to take care of her and make sure she stays out of trouble. Then you may keep her." Her gaze shifted to Phea, eyes glazing over azure for a moment before slipping back to a chocolate color. "Sleep is not top on my list. And what's kept me from it? Ecara, my daughter. She's...teething I guess."

"Off course I know about the young Mistress Ecara, Esmeralda tried to spit vemon at the the other night." he said running his finger through his short raven black hair, striked with the silver of age. "Sorry about that, she tends to take everything as a game even when others do not." he laughed a bit nervously.
