Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mica laughs. "She's bee too angry to be cute... red and pink clash in my book. She more of a fierce creature in my eyes.. a phoenix or a hawk or an eagle, something that runs into danger not away from it."

Mica nods. "I know..." he says with a grin. "You've forgotten what talent she has, haven't you?"

"Of course he has... just because I don't use it very often doesn't mean I can't... Hopian... but the mind is my play ground... why should I have learned to use it to speak as well." With a firm stride the healer enters the room. "Sorry... didn't mean to eavesdrop, but when I heard the words pink and frilly I knew ye were trying to start something."

Shar laughs. "Ha! Tell ye what, ye come as a big purple dinosaur and I'll come as a pink frilly unicorn... fair enough deal."

She grins at him. "Then no pink frilly unicorn... and that is that. So why are we talking costumes anyway?"

Shar frowns. "Actually ye told me he was having a surprise party... ye didn't say a thing about it being a costume party. so what is the theme?"

Now he has her interest. "Animals ye say... and we can delve in the fantastic? What a wonderful idea. I could really come up with some good ideas there." She plops down in a chair at the table and pats Mica's hand. "Yer idea wasn't it?"

Shar smiles fondly at the elderly priest. "Missing yer home now are ye?" she teases causing him to blush and drop his gaze. She turns to the lion and explains.

"Mica is from a city on a sea that hold this fantastic city wide party each harvest. Once all the fields have been brought in and the stores have been filled, they party like no tomorrow, preparing all those left over foods which won't make it through the rainy cold season until the next planting. Kind of a Harvest fest and let's clean out the larder for the new stuff sort of event. It's really kind of an amazing four or five days. There is music and dancing in the streets, huge feasts... and all sorts of shenanigans. And the temples are filled with repentants afterward, but usually they are there for people like me... who can give them a bottle of tonic fer their upset tummies."

"Hey now... it's not necessarily a bad thing.." grumbles Mica in defense.

"Never said it was..." laughs Shar giving his hand another pat. "I rather enjoyed it the few times we've been there." She stands and bids the two males a good evening. "I'm going to go and try to see what supplies I might be needing for this 'party' of yers, Hopian. Ye wouldn't know where I could get a supply of feathers and sparklies now would ye?"

Mica chuckles. "I bet there is plenty all over Talesian's floor right now.
