Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ashriel nodded. "Of course I can." She told him, shooing him out of the restroom after he set her down. Once he was out, and the door was shut, she had no problems finishing up in there. Finished, she hopped towards the door, putting minimal weight on her left foot. She opened it and smiled at him, her face still red.

Ashriel blushed again as Raevyn spoke to her. "And you don't think I'm embarrassed?" She questioned him in response.

Jennalin was in the kitchen, laughing. She opened the fridge, deciding to make the three of them dinner. It was already six, after all.

Ashriel laughed, hugging him tight. "Table's fine. I wanna work on my sketches some more." She smiled at him, thinking for a moment. "How could I not be amused?"

Jennalin glanced at Raevyn. She was filling a pot off water, so she was looking back over her shoulder. "Relax, I'm only making dinner. Besides, isn't this Ash's kitchen? Now you are claiming her things for yourself? Isn't that rude?" Jen grinned at her words. She was only teasing the cat.

Ashriel's jaw dropped at what Raevyn said, and she frowned after she closed it. "Apparently my cooking sucks now. That makes me feel wonderful." She pouted, and Jennalin was doing all that she could not to burst out laughing at Raevyn's misplaced words.

Jen continued to turn on the stove and turn to cutting up veggies, glancing at Raevyn for only a moment before looking back down at what she was doing. "Well, I'm still going to cook dinner. You look like you are pretty busy already."

Jennalin finished cutting the vegetables and laughed as she let them splash into the boiling water. "Believe me, for now is the key part of what you said." She looked around, flustered now, opening up random cupboards. "I don't suppose you guys have any noodles." And with just that, it became evident that she was attempting - and failing - to make chicken noodle soup.

Ashriel shook her head. "No, I'm better!" She declared, standing up abruptly. Sure, it hurt, but she was using the table for support. She was red from Raevyn's kiss, but she was still standing, obviously planning to make a move for her small kitchen.

Ashriel sat back down quietly, a frown developing slowly on her face. She didn't touch her drawings; instead, she watched Jennalin with full intent. Deciding that it was no fun to watch her friend, she pulled out the wolf again, focusing on the aura that she'd been sketching off to the side. Why was it there? There shouldn't have been anything. Yet, she distinctly remembered it being there. So, had there been two that night?

Jennalin's head turned as she heard Raevyn. She glanced at Ashriel, who had withdrawn. Wow...she actually LISTENED to Raevyn. Lucian could do the same thing, but Ash would never listen to her brother. Raevyn really was good for her, and Jennalin could see it.

Jennalin nodded quietly, looking at Raevyn now. She whispered something so quiet to him that there was no physical possibility of Ashriel overhearing. "I don't care what you think, or what you might say or do. You are good for her. She actually listens to you; she cares about you. I can see that. And I swear, if you break her, I will get you." The best friend threat. The one every girl has to make to her best friend's boyfriend. And this was the first time Jen had gotten to make it.

Jennalin walked over to sit by Ashriel now, looking at the colored drawing. She pointed to the wolf. "Is that the wolf?" Her calm, collected voice questioned her friend. Ashriel nodded. "What's that?" Another question; this time Jen was pointing at the mysterious glow in the background. Ashriel shrugged.
