Welcome to Gaia! ::

Em nodded again. "Yeah, he did.. said how much he loved it there and how much it meant to ye. So I thought, why not bring a little of that here to ye... so when yer here with Passura, ye can have a place to escape to. And we can all use it, too... all I ask is iffin I'm asleep... ye don't wake me on yer way through."

Emnast shakes his head in negation. "Too dangerous... just humor me and enter quietly is all I ask. I'll hear ye... and that is good. Iffin I couldn't hear ye, I couldn't hear any other intruder. I'm sorry, Luciel... but I made one too many enemies in my lifetime... no one knows I still live... but iffin they should somehow learn of the fact. I'd rather know they were here."

Em nods. "Feel free to do so. I've already had my soak for the day. I'm for a nap right now... or at least a doze... Pasa, the soap is in the green earthenware jar, iffin that's what yer looking fer."

The boy calls back his thanks and digs out a handful of soapy sand going to work on his skin.

** be hard to do both at the same time as Em is no where near the pool, but doesn't say he can't go fer ye**

Pasa looks up as he rinses off and seeing Kero out of the water and on a rock decides to tease him a bit. Slipping into the water he slices silently through the water, swimming unnoticed to the rock, reaching up he carefully grabs Kero's tail, pulling the unsuspecting dragon into the water so quickly he is completely unprepared for the fact. Pasa quickly dives and comes up on the other side of the water, out of reach laughing quietly.

So now he goes about the garden plucking an armful of blossoms, never from a single plant so as not to disturb the garden's beauty. He sneaks back into the water, chaining them as he goes. When he gets to where Kero is sleeping he carefully drapes them about his head and tail. Doing it so carefully Kero doesn't even feel them coming to rest. Then he finds a certain plant and makes a thick red paste, which he thins and paints onto Kero's mouth.... Of course this does wake Kero up... and he jumps away quickly giggling.

"What the Hec...." Kero starts to say a bit more loudly than he needs to, which in turn wakes Em, who starts laughing so hard he rolls off his ledge onto the fllor, holding his sides.

"How pretty..." he gasps between giggling fits. "Lucy, yer beautiful."

Pasa sulks for a bit, joined by Emnast who slips in beside him.

"That really wasn't a bad prank, kiddo." laughs Em knowingly. "But he isn't going to tell ye that... " says the silvery dragon floating on his back.

Pasa sighs. "He doesn't want me bad... but I'm never 'bad' enough for him either.... I thought it was a good prank... What's he want, indelible dye in his scrubbing sand?"

Pasa blinks. "Won't he know the difference... I mean he knows he's not you..."

"So when do we start this?" he asks worriedly. "We'll need to have everyone in on it... will the cubs help... they react differently to you than him, ye know. Yer around them more."
