Welcome to Gaia! ::

Swallowing his bite, he smiled charmingly. "Well, there's you to thank for it...and it is a wonder. I think you'll be a hit in the cooking class!" Grinning, he poured himself a glass of champange, toasting Azana and Sosol. "To the founders of the feast."

"Hear hear!" He tapped his flute against MacPere's, Azana's, Vincente's and Sosol's before draining it. A final party, perhaps...but he had faith in the pair. "Now...how about some music?"

(I am pretty sleepy...next post is the last.)

Azana raised her glass as well, trying to hold back from getting misty-eyed. "Thanks, guys..." Her thoughts drifted to the letters in her room, but she quickly shoved it away, picking up some spice cake and smiled as she tasted it.

"Are you sure you guys don't deserve the toast...? This is fantastic!"

Sosol grinned and toasted, nodding at the sentiment. "Agreed...we'll be back so soon, you won't realize we left!"

((We can all snooze. ^_^ I'll make my next post my last...))

Closing his eyes and relaxing at the sensual sounds of the sax, MacPere quietly sat and swayed his tail along, sipping at his champagne every now and again.

(School work, school work and even more school work. It's ridiculous. Anyway, sleep tight~!)

Azana awoke the next morning, a little groggy from all the activity before, but comfortably warm under the covers. She went to turn over and met with some resistance, and that was when the memories of last night began to return. Sosol had comforted her after the party, listened to her talk about the conversation and how frightening the next day would be...

and they apparently had fallen asleep. She couldn't say that she was disconcerted or bothered by it...but hopefully it didn't start rumors around the Inn.

If I come back... She trembled a little.

"Mm...? Oh, good morning, Azana...Azana!" Sosol woke up immediately, jumping out of bed. "I'm...I'm sorry! Ohgodohgodohgod...I didn't mean to fall asleep like that!" He was about to dash out the door to get ready and get himself out of Azana's presence, but he was surprised to find Azana's arms around him.

"Don't be sorry...I...I needed that. Thank you."
"Let me guess...still, we should get ready. Go get your things?"
"...yeah."
Sosol nodded and left her room, sneaking back towards his own and hoping no one got curious...
Azana changed into something more casual, though this was only for the trip to the Temple. Her possessions were waiting there, including some of the TaylorTech she personally kept. That was going to be what she had to use...it almost made her happy to be a bit paranoid. At least she had equipment that way. Speaking of James...she'd have to pull him away from that project of his. He hadn't even come to the party, which was a bit upsetting but not entirely surprising. She packed up everything she kept in the room, picking up a set of envelopes last. As a last precaution, she did a psychic cleanse of the room, making sure that her presence would not be traced to the Inn. With a sigh, she headed downstairs.

Vincente was standing, crossed armed on the wall, his eyes closed, but he could see everything. "Awake already? I'm astounded." He said, not opening his eyes. "And Sosol?" He asked.

Walking in from his cookery session with his apron and jacket still on, he clutched a tin under one arm, sighing happily as he noticed that Azana hadn't departed yet. Leaving words alone, he walking behind the bar, placed down the tin and embraced her tightly as she continued to work, nuzzling her hair with his nose.

Emily crawled out from under the table and ran over to MacPere, clinging to and hiding behind his leg, peering up at Azana and James. Everyone seemed sad or worried, and it was beginning to effect her, a deep well of sadness building in her chest and her eyes began to mist up, even though she did not know what was wrong. Such was the empathy of a child.

The two wolf puppies, sensing her sorrow, began to whimper and yip before floating over to azana and pawing at her pant legs, whimpering before they both seemed to converge on themselves and turned into full grown wolves. They would go with her, to help with her task, if only to keep Emily from crying. Darth and Glenda rubbed against Azana before sitting on either side of her looking up.
