"So... snacked on any mortals lately?"

The Oni was mostly curious but he didn't actually care if she did or not. She'd been spending a lot of time around him and he was growing ever more curious by the day. Something about her intrigued him, immensely. He'd squat down and cant his head to the side like a puppy getting its first look at something new.

"If ya haven't and you're hungry, I made some yakisoba bread."

He'd not made it his special way, but the meal was still filling, nutritious, and above all, tasty. He also had some desserts on him, if she would rather have sweets. She could smell them with her enhanced senses.

@atherissquamigera asked: Aya fussed with the hem of her top as she looked up at Gaj. "I know you jus' got home---but we gotta talk. Lily already said he'd look after Daiki while we talk but its important---"

Having just taken his coat and boots off, he'd pause and loft a brow. Aya was acting odd, which was concerning to the Dragon. He'd lean down and scoop her up into his arms before walking to the couch where he'd rub her back and play with her hair to help her relax a bit. His travel bag lay near the entry to the house so he wasn't too worried about it, he could move it to the bedroom after they talked.

"What's wrong? Yer actin' kinda weird, Aya. Ya okay?"

He asked her, his voice remaining low. He'd lean down and nuzzle her softly before kissing the top of her head, then her forehead and hum softly. If he needed to, he'd sing to her to help her relax so she could talk to him about whatever was bothering her.

@atherissquamigera sent: “   there’s  a  killer  storm  going  on  outside ,   so   unless  you  want  to  disappear  under  mysterious  circumstances ,   i  suggest  you  get  comfortable .   ”

"A storm ain't gonna really make me vanish, but I get yer meanin' I ain't that fond of bein' out in storms anyway."

Gajeel didn't MIND rain, but he didn't fancy the idea of getting home looking much akin to a drowned rat. So he was just going to move to take a seat somewhere before pulling a small notebook out of his coat pocket. The small woman who had spoken to him, likely realized at this point that, if she'd spoken to him before they didn't know one another that well.

"Ya just tellin' people that so they don't wind up sick?"

[ignis-venenatus]

@atherissquamigera asked: why are you staring at me? something on my face? (Erik)

"No, yer smellin' more and more like Gaj the more time passes,"

He'd squint at her, his eye looking her over and noticing her skin was a bit more green than usual. That was odd, he'd go back to staring at her for a few moments before humming as f discovering something.

"Interesstin', yer aware, yes... since yer a 'makka' and all that?"

What could he possibly be referring to? Well, Aya would have to ask him to get him to say what it was, of course, but the question was, would she ask him or just keep letting him be vague?

@atherissquamigera / Ja'far

Ja'far isn't one for parties. With Maharagan in full swing down below, Ja'far has taken a moment to slip into the outskirts of the festivities, seeking out a quiet place along the palace grounds. It's not that he doesn't enjoy the celebration, he simply finds the sounds and sights a bit out of his comfort zone. Even if he had been the one to slay the sea creature serving as the party's source.

He had spent much of the day following the creature's attack overseeing the festival, ensuring everything went smoothly. And so after Sinbad's speech and the General's appearance, he had slipped off for some peace.

And it seemed he wasn't the only one staying out of the limelight. When he saw Ayana, he approached with his hands folded in his sleeves.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" he says, smiling politely. "I hope you've had a chance to get something to eat, there is plenty to go around."

It was another successful trip without foreign lands to collect those in need among other refugees. This was merely his promise never to abandon those who have been abandoned and forgotten by the world. He owe it to those children that had been slaughtered in his name that he proceeded right by them, to ensure those sacrifices were not in vain. Sinbad was on the ship as its captain, disguised as a merchant of course, there was no reason to have these people know he was the king Sindria, the very country they were going to see within a few moments now. “How about you? Have the passing nights have been alright for you?”

@atherissquamigera

Ling stumbled through the streets of Central, eventually ducking into an alleyway so he could catch his breath. He was starting to regret taking control of his body from Greed, but he couldn't risk the Homonculus getting into another fight like the one with Wrath. He wasn't in the right mental state to be making decisions for them.

Leaning against the wall, Ling slid to the ground and closed his eyes. They'd just made a whole bunch of very powerful enemies, they had nowhere to go, no food, and... He wasn't alone.

Ling opened his eyes, forcing a smile when he spotted the girl - Chimera? - next to him. He should have made sure the alley was empty, but it was too late now. He just hoped she was friendly.

"Ah, hello there..."

[crimsononiarataki]

He would sleep for a while more than likely, a lot longer than a nap that was for sure, but he had been rather tired when he arrived earlier in the day. He'd spent a number of hours traveling but she knew that already.

"Mm..."

The noise he made was because he was slowly beginning to wake up, the cat making biscuits on his head would hopefully get moved sooner, rather than later. He likely wouldn't move very much so the cat didn't try to play with his hair as it moved or something. As he felt a small weight on his chest, he'd open his eyes and spot Aya before chuckling softly.

"Are ya actually sleepin'?"

Despite technically having work to do down in her parlor she didnt set an alarm neither did she wake up earlier to wiggle away.

She was still sound asleep by the time he'd wake up. Though Loki had moved from behind her knees to Ittos pillow, currently making biscuits on the back of his head with very large paws.

Aya had turned completely onto her belly, half on top of her boyfriend as she slept.

[crimsononiarataki]

Aya chuckled as she walked over to the oni, holding one of the babbling dragonling twins over him before laying them on his chest. "Get him, Lesedi. Vicious dragon on the loose"

Oh no! Not a vicious dragonling!

He was just lounging on the couch in the living room, he didn't LIVE there, of course, but he'd been using one of the guest rooms as of late so he could help his best friend out. As Ayana walked over and placed one of the twins on his chest and told her to 'get him' the Oni would mock gasp and play struggle. It was quite comical to see, actually.

"Oh nooo what ever shall I do, I'm gonna be eaten!"

Large fingers would move quickly and begin to tickle the tiny Dragon before he grinned in triumph due to the small giggles he drew from his 'niece'. She was so tiny, so, so very tiny. He dealt with Daiki a lot, which was one of the reasons he was spending so much time at his best friend's house in the first place. Helping with the oldest child while the two new ones got used to the world.

"She's still so tiny."

Of course she was, everyone was tiny to him he was massive.

[cosmicfates]

The shifter draped herself dramatically over the dragon's back (aka over the back of the couch), nuzzling the side of his neck and kissing the curve of his ear. "Gaaaaajjjjjjjj youve been focused on your project for hours." Aka She no longer wanted to share attention with....whatever the little project was for a little while and wanted his attention to herself instead.

And here we have ; Aya being Aya

"Alright then, come're,"

He's just looping an arm around her and pulling her over the back of the couch to lay against his chest. He could resume his project after she got some cuddle time he supposed. It wasn't like it was going to go anywhere, and Gajeel knew how Aya could get when she was being needy to some extent.

"Is this what ya wanted ya damn menace?"

She was a menace and she knew that, too, but that was also beside the point because of the two of them the Dragon was much, much worse.

-- Even with two already proving to be fairly reliable, he couldn't help but worry. Coming from a stranger's place, one that actively went to harm his friends - his sister moreover - and acting like all is dandy and well. Even if the rest could easily shrug it off, he couldn't accept it himself just yet. Not until he experienced it firsthand, anyway. And judging by current states...

"..." Now what to do in this scenario. For the moment, the hulk remained still, giving the stranger a stare from across the crowd; singling her out from the rest of the passerby's. Contemplating first off, whether or not it was even worth fretting over. After all, it was just another member.

...One he had barely seen before, but still just another member. -- Before he knew it, Elfman's stare turned into a scowl of sorts; lingering for much longer than it should have initially. If his senses were picking up right, this girl he'd locked on so impulsively must have been from Phantom as well - which by itself was no issue. But getting chummy with his older sister like that... His worry was fully justified, in his mind.

"Otousan, otousan ittcchhyyyy" The toddler complained, aggressively rubbing their head against Ittos leg to try and itch their little horn nubs.

Pretend to be my muses future child

The Oni would chuckle softly before squatting down and offering something much better to scratch the itchy horns - his claws. He'd reach out and gently scratch the small nubs before ruffling the toddler's hair. He was glad that the sensitivity didn't start until they were much older.

"Gonna guess your okaasan told ya to come find me?"

Once the crisis was averted, he'd scoop the little one into his arms and just let them rest against him on the couch. Whenever their mother came into the room she'd spot them together.

@atherissquamigera asked: [ COMFORT ]  sender discovers receiver brooding and quietly approaches to carefully hug them from behind. 

He did genuinely look like he was brooding, not too shocking when anyone thought of how the Dragon tended to keep to himself. He was quiet, often sitting alone in dark areas in the guildhall when he was there, among other things. However, Aya found him sitting on the roof of the guildhall this time, clearly deep in thought for one reason or another. He looked like he was contemplating something major.

As soon as her arms went around his torso he instinctively flinched though it was brief, and he'd relax as soon as her scent hit his nose. Her presence wasn't what caused him to flinch, nor had her touch. Perhaps it was to do with him having made himself scarce shortly after arriving at the guildhall on this particular day and having been left to his own thoughts for so long?

"Sorry 'bout flinchin' Aya, yer fine and thank ya for comin' and findin' me. Ain't sure I should be 'lone right now. My thoughts... they ain't... they ain't good ones."

Whenever he was idle for long stretches of time, if he didn't do anything with his hands, dark thoughts tended to consume him. He'd spoken to her about them once but it was a long while ago now. A few years, at the very least. The Dragon would sigh.

"I need to find somethin' to do."

[ignis-venenatus]

@atherissquamigera asked: The shifter sat on the floor beside Natsu and wordlessly shoved her head against his side. A silent request for attention from her friend---also using him for sensory input.

He grinned slightly at her bumping him with her head, he'd chuckle there after before wordlessly hugging her. He knew she liked his warmth and he was happy to supply her with it, especially as it was starting to cool down outside. He was EXCITED to see Aya again, of course, but seeing that she was okay was all that mattered to the Dragon.

"It's nice to see you again, Aya."

He'd only hug her and supply her with warmth if she wanted. It'd been a while so he wasn't sure if playing with her hair was okay or not.

[infintasmal]

@atherissquamigera asked: "Jafar---whys there so much empty space on the map? Around the rift?" Aya had been a bit bothered by the map hanging in the palace library for a while but this was the first she'd actually asked about it.

He's glad Ayana is comfortable enough to ask questions, though he's not quite sure how to broach this topic. He steps closer to the map, standing by her side with his hands folded in his sleeves.

"Unfortunately, the information we have surrounding the Rift and the Dark Continent is limited. The person who is responsible for most of the world maps must not have had much luck documenting the areas surrounding the Rift. Much of the area was victim to invaders. But Sindria's research team has been working with one of the Torran tribes to learn more about the area."
