Welcome to Gaia! ::

---*It came very lightly at first, working past the scents of his heavy armor piled in the corner and his bedding that was in need of changing, to his nose causing his first stirrings. It was a talent his partner and roommate had shown on several occasions since they got the place together, and it was always a welcomed waking over growing tired of his own dreams. It was the smell of fresh bacon and eggs frying and it caused the need to rise find Iorek's feet. Slowly the bear found a stable stance within the bindings of his bed and covers and walked free of them to the door. His eyes still had yet to lose the fog of just waking, and the deep ruts in his door around the handle showed just how think that fog is.*
---*Their apartment was small, but no more than he made it seem so. He could change back to his human form, but Iorek is more comfortable without his binding that he has to wear whilst not in a fight. This in part was because of Kari and how she treated him. Iorek walked up to the counter that was their only flat surface. On the other side was the kitchen and back to him was Kari working away seemingly oblivious of the lumbering ton moving around behind her. Iorek dropped to a seated position with his head and neck extending to the other side of the bar he rested on. While waiting to see if she would turn he felt the need to yawn. The problem with this is there is nothing that can describe a bear's yawn that is anything close to peaceful. The sudden shock of sound caused Kari to jump a little, taking the pan with her and causing it to smack down against the hot unit in a loud Clack.*
---"Forgive me, Kari, but i had thought that you had noticed the bear in the room." *Even with the look she was giving him he could only smile at his own remarks. Iorek leaned as if to look around her at the food calling to him.* "Did you by chance use the cuts i bought, or should i change back down so the pieces aren't as small by comparison?"

---*Still smiling at inadvertently causing Kari to jump, he watched her make her place across from him on the counter. Iorek looked at the pan on the stove, then the plate she had left for him next to the stove, then down to his paws. After a moment of thinking about how to go about doing this, without changing or asking for help, he took in a full breath and blew it out over his end of the counter coating it in a layer of ice. Before moving to the pan Iorek could see the look of confusion on Kari's face, causing her to stop mid-chew for a moment. He walked over to the pan and clutched the handle between his jaws and carried it back to place in on the ice-covered-counter. It caused a hiss as it was set, but something like a glint in Iorek's eye flashed and it stopped sharply. As he was making his way around the counter to sit on his end and start eating, he paused at the side of his bewildered companion to press his snout to her cheek and give her a light lick in approval. Thereafter he promptly began to paw out and devour the contents of pan filled with breakfast.*
---*Making short work of the food as he often did, Iorek returned the pan to the sink for a soak and removed the ice before laying out across the sitting room floor.* "How i ever lived off just fish and seals i'll never know. You're a fine weapon and an even better chef, Kari, and i'm wondering now what other talents someone so unassuming as you might be hiding?" *Seeing an Academy handbook laying on the end table Iorek swatted at it until it fell down to him and began to skim through it for the fiftieth time.* "Perhaps today would be best spent at the school. I know they gave me an odd enrollment, and by extension you, for being what i am, but still i would like to know the other meister teams working here in the city. Who knows, maybe there's a mission worth taking?"
