Welcome to Gaia! ::

Angeles tilted her head slightly, taking in Stella's surprise then explanation without looking at her, "what are they?" she asked as the one in her grasp seemed to start panicking and trying to speak. After a moment of considering what it was possibly trying to say, she asked, "you want down?"

"She calls them chibis," Stella answered, giving Eri a single-finger pat on the head. "It's hard to understand them sometimes, but as long as you don't give them chocolate, they're just sweet." She flipped the page in the album, letting them see something new.

Max peeked past Remy at the mirror, finding it lacking her reflection. "Weeeeiiiird...this is what it's like, huh?"

"No...just chocolate, it seems," Sosol said, walking out of the kitchen with a fresh pot of tea. "Welcome home, Angeles."

Stella chuckled. "They're not gremlins," she said, looking over the pictures with a slight nostalgia. Sure, it was all a farce, but things were a lot simpler then.

"It's fine, hon," Max answered, leaning against him with no change to the reflection. "Comes with the territory, right? If you're really worried about that, I can probably see 'bout gettin' ya some foundation..."

"I bet you recognize a couple people here," she said, pointing particularly to a rather tall, sandy-haired boy. She lowered her voice to barely above a whisper. "Actually...I even have a picture or two of Tyler before he got all crazy..."

((sorry I get them confused))

Angeles smiled, already getting used to the, what could be called, strange accents that the chibi's spoke with. She then turned away from the three, leaving them to their pictures and moving back to her seat, "thank you, Sosol. It's good to be home."

She had witnessed Sosol and Azana's reaction to her return from her seat. Sometimes silent observation was the best way. But she had noticed a bit of tenseness about the couple. Whatever had bothered Gren, the two were surely involved as well.

"I should be alright for a few days," she said calmly as she sat down, "thank you though."

"M-hm...I think he started going a bit gray in the past few years. Bet it was the stress...I offered to change it back permanently, but he hasn't gotten back to me on it." She grinned at the three smiling faces, though it faded slightly as she thought about it. Azana didn't even remember...Tyler thought it was better that way, but she was starting to have her doubts. The rest of the GMO? Definitely...but it seemed wrong to withhold this from her own cousin.

"Okay...so, this!" She pulled out a couple garments, tossing them on the bed. "Hair color...?"

Sosol nodded, returning to watching the chibis with his usual amusement. Stella's old photo album was entertaining them quite nicely.

"Maybe...wouldn't know why, though. He looks better all dark," Stella hummed in thought...he didn't mind it around Halloween. Maybe if she got Stacy in on it... "Oh! Wanna see a slightly embarrassing picture of Az?"

"No, she borrowed one of my wigs...! I know it!" Max said, looking through them all. "Ugh, why can't I remember?!"

Tyler walked downstairs, waving at everyone before noticing Stella's photo album. "Getting nostalgic?"
