Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hotaruko sat down with her legs hanging off the side of the ship as it began to set sail, tilting her head up to enjoy the nice sea breeze, "mmmm... it feels so nice" Hotaruko said smiling, "we will be sailing for a few days if everything goes okie!" She said as she got up, slightly wobling left to right from the boat swaying. "were I live... theres lots of snow and ice... there is some greenery but its only the ever green trees... This was my first time leaving my home too..." Looking back at Cain, "Are you okie Cain?" she asked walking twords him.

"people" Hotaruko said as she lefted her self up onto the railing, "I guess... there are beast on my families island though, scary monsters... because of the ruins there, they go to wierd places underground were they live" she continued as she started to walk long the railing. Turning around on the railing and looking straight up at the sky, "so um..." blushing nervously "if you don't mind me asking... how did you become a slave?" Hotaruko asked, looking back at him.

Hotaruko looked at Cain deeply,"A failure? how? and you look really human to me!" she said, jumping off the rail, looking up at him. "Its not nice to call some one a failure..." turing back around, walking to the frount of the ship, and looking over the side, holdign onto the railing tightly as the ship swayed up and down. "how were you created?" Looking at him curriously, "do you have a mom and dad? Were is the Place you were created?" Hotaruko continued to ask question with out taking a breath.

Hotaruko looked at him with huge eyes in amazement and curriousity, her tail swaying side to side quest speraticly,"so your like a super soldier?!" she asked in amazement, "No wonder my parents bought you" She said, with slight shame in her voice, "I don't exactly like the whole slave thingy..." Turning to look at Cain, "You have a collar around your neck, right? I don't like that..." she continued, slightly tearing up "I don't want some one I can boss around... I'm not like that... I just want a friend is all..." she said wiping her eyes. "you will be my friend... right Cain?" Hotaruko asked, looking up at him smilling.

Hotaruko let out a small mew cat sound while Cain's hand was on her head, she begain to smile again, "Thank you Cain... and if its my choise in how I treat you... Then i will treat you like I'd want to be treated." Hotaruko said proudly while smiling. She stopped and continued to look over Cain curriously, gently putting her hand on the side of Cain's face with the eye patch,"I've been scared to scared, but what happend to your eye? I know that is rude of me... sliding her hand down, seeing the collar around his neck, "Am I allowed to remove it?" she asked quietly to Cain,

Cain raised an eyebrow at the cat like sound Hotaruko emitted but said nothing. He nodded at her statement on how Hotaruko would treat him. Ever so slightly, Cain moved away from Hotaruko’s hand as she placed it on his face, worried that she might decide to remove the eye patch. Not that he didn’t mind not wearing it, just that it might be a little too much for her to see. After all, it wasn’t a pretty sight. “You may ask whatever you want to. I will answer the best I can. As part of the doctor’s experiments they had us train with each other, sometimes to an extreme. I was about sixteen when it happened; my opponent pulled a dirty move. That is when I first changed forms, although I am not sure what caused it,” Cain said in response and then nodded at Hotaruko’s question about the collar. “It is up to you whether I wear it or not.”
