"Well..." she started, tapping her chin a bit. "Personally, I enjoy the more quiet activities."
Her gaze shifted towards the resort nearby, somewhat peering over the trees at them. "There's a few lounge areas inside where you can easily relax with a book if you brought some. I'm sure the staff has a collection of books they can loan out or share if you don't. There's plenty of places here you can relax and watch the waves as well.
If you like to swim, we have a wonderful reef just near shore and," she paused to look for and then point to a small hut on the sand, "you can rent snorkel gear, boogie boards and surf boards if you're into that kind of thing! Of course there's always the pool beside the resort as well."
She took a brief pause before continuing. As if making sure she remembered everything else.
"There's also Volleyball, the Jungle hike, the Waterfalls, the Spa, the Gym (if you feel the need to exercise, of course) and the dining hall. We'll have the Bonfires set up for later in the day.
The only thing we ask is that you stick to the paths marked for visitors. We share this Island with those that live in the Tiki Village. Though they don't mind the annual festivities all that much, we do wish to maintain respect for their territory and have been asking all our visitors to not disturb them and stay away from their Village."
Her head then tilted a bit as she queried, "Did anything spark your fancy?"

Her champion was important, and she made a point to try to keep him in sight. However, so was her adorable niece. Harmonia smiled warmly and wasted no time pulling Abby into a hug when she was close enough, "I always look forward to seeing you, how have you been?" This was the other favorite part of the festivities, seeing family as well as her beloved champion. Her mind was blanking on if she had introduced them or not, it may be in order.
"You really are born from the earth." Her tone sounded almost pleased and the smile belied any irritation she might have had for his response. He thought he could dismiss her? Oh what a funny little crude gnome. "I suppose I must go, my Lady will need me." More like her sister could use the help, the poor dear as going to stress herself into looking like this thing before long if she didn't get assistance. What was a flock for after all.
Before leaving she added with such a sweet smile, "Oh do be careful, the tikicats do so love to try different plants. It would be such a shame" Dramaticly with a soft sigh she left the last part of the warning trail off. His little brain could figure out the rest.

Sweetie grinned, he was the best father. "Thank Celestia, boats are terrifying." She stated, glad to be off the boat, and in an attempt to further distance Dysmas from the idea of Monroe dating. Sweetie was almost positive she'd never truly enjoy a boat trip, but it was impossible to deny that a boat had brought Dysmas and her together.
"Think they'll have something new this year?" The fauny asked, doing her very best to not think about boats. Bleh. Boats. Oooh, there would be massive amounts of dancing again this year. Maybe this time she wouldn't step on his feet.
Jean smiled more, unable to believe this pae's flattery. Of course, she deserved it, she was a stunning example of a woman. Yet that didn't stop her from enjoying it. Most pae ran off at the sound of her voice. "Honey-pie, no one has seen this stunning sight before." She leaned in to kiss his cheek. This was his first outing as Jean Pool, of course he was thrilled to get such outstanding praise so quickly!
Sliding her arm around his, Jean leaned into him. "Shall we then?" She asked, still giving off a brilliant smile. Oh yes, she quite liked this handsome and sturdy young man.
Of course she'd know how hydrated she was. Junior almost smacked his head with his palm. Guardians be blessed, he sounded like an overly worried father rather than a husband. "You're amazing Nereus." Simple, true, and reverent. He loved this woman like no other. How lucky was he?
"Okay, drinks!" He grinned, wrapping his arm around her waist. Guardians he loved this woman. "I think the bar is this way?" the demon gestured, honestly not sure where anything was. Not after the chaos and celebration the year before.
Nicky shook her head, laughing. No way she was the best prank parnter. That was 100% him. Her arms wrapped around him too, returning his quick hug. Venus! Would she ever get enough of touching this pae? Probably not. "Ooooh, enjoy some pranks, and then some relaxing in peace. You know just how to make a girl's night Baliel~" She grinned, following his lead. She sent a silent thank you to whoever had brought them together that rainy night. He was the best guide. Even if he did lead her directly into things on occasion. Baliel had the smarts to do it juuust often enough where it stayed funny, something that was a hard task to accomplish. Of course, it probably helped a lot that she just thought he was utterly hilarious.
Abby squeaked, hugging her favorite aunt in the world. "Oh Auntie Harmonia, it's been lovely. I can't believe we don't spot one another on the boat." The demi had actually seen her aunt on the cruise over, she'd just tactfully not interrupted. Venus only knew the wraith incurred at an interuppted love session.
"How have you been?" She turned it right back around. Her life wasn't that interesting. Not in the least. When this trip was over, it would be time to start getting flowers and edible plants into the ground. There was much work to be done, and Auntie Harmonia didn't need to hear any of it. This was all about relaxing and love!

"Ehhhhhhhhhhh~?" the naiad demi playfully whined at her joke-of-an-answer, the way he pouted behind her nearly audible in his tone. He had a feeling she was joking, but there was always that lingering feeling of doubt. Like, perhaps she really did think it wasn't him...
Oh good golly gosh that was a relief.
Grinning, he lifted his hands off of her eyes and swiftly rotated to the side of her, his hands clasping behind his back as he did so. "Right?! It feels as though I am always the one singled out because I am the only boy our age up there; even Calliope gets to see you all the time." Well, clearly not all the time, but he meant it in a figurative way.
He glanced from her to the guys exiting the boat, smiling ever-so-coyly. "Helping out the mortals?" He looked around, taking note of the large number of families that had attended together; that was unexpected, considering what he'd heard of the parties.
"And who's fault is tha--!" Wellspring's words caught in his throat as he'd started to talk over her, catching the sounds of what had followed.
Apologize?
Had he heard her correctly? Apologize? To him? Surely this was some sort of emotional trap, meant to have him lower his guard before she said something even worse. Couldn't trust those damned blood pae after all. She didn't even know him except for such an embarrassing nickname - well, they had only met relatively briefly years ago, it wasn't unusual that she'd have forgotten his name - actually... for the feelings she brought up in him, he couldn't really remember her name either. Aery? Alia?
His footsteps slowed before coming to a complete halt just outside of the spa, leaving a cherub attending to the entrance staring in confusion. It reflected his own expression as he turned to look at Aurelia, accidentally meeting her gaze before averting his eyes downward.
"What do you mean by.. apologize...?"

Hjortur shot a look at his mother as she chastised him in front of the kids, one met by a 'tee-hee' of her own. Oh how he hated when she did that! Just because she was his mother didn't mean she always knew the proper way to act in any given situation - heck, he should be the one with more experience to all of this. It wasn't as if he was saying they should make an effort to find Daedalus at this instant, it was merely a question.
His look straightened to one that was almost comical as Pippin voiced her agreement with his mother.
E tu Pippin?
He reached up to ruffle his hair and shrug in response, giving up on the matter. "Surely he shall appear somewhere without warning. That's how he has always been." He glanced beside him at Kelebek, offering her a smile and motioning silently towards the beach, trying to nonverbally ask her if there was something she wanted to do.
Snorri gruffed at Pippin's question, his uninterested eyes looking around. He wasn't the most skilled at them at walking on two legs; his wife was far, far better by comparison; it seemed she'd been made for the surface. His idiot son was also far better at it that he ought to be, a betrayal of how often he ventured up here.
"No, the water is where we belong. Not... here... with all these surface pae'il." The usually quiet, grumpy male was even more so than normal due to his predicament. There was little more that he'd have ever wanted to do than leave the comfort of his queen and home. If it hadn't been a request of his biological grandson and darling wife, he would have probably never been consoled to coming. The previous time had been a waste of time and a fluke.
"Sides..." he quieted as he looked forward at the two sprites - not that any of them knew what they were - flying ahead. "You ought to watch your tongue; not all naiad get legs..." He wasn't meaning to chastise her, it was just his normal way of speaking. If anything, it was his attempt at a polite suggestion to help her avoid ever accidentally hurting her brother's feelings.
Wolfs Heart Hjortur -> Pippin Snorri -> Pippin
Shicala Vera -> Kerianna (they can probably overhear the others' conversations) |

Hatil was extremely pleased that her friend had remembered her name after all this time her feathers nearly bushing out in pride. What a great guy! Great friend! He even looked happy to see her, and he didn't run away, which was the best part. Some of her (animal) friends in the forest back home would always run off to play hide-and-seek whenever she came close. Silly bunnies!
Her head feather's twitched as she caught the sound of something falling, her eyes looking towards the noise and catching sight of a strangely-colored bag. Had he had that last year...?
Thinking hard about it, she'd have to say no.
Reaching down, she picked up what he'd dropped, blinking at it's surprisingly heavy weight. She'd barely had time to process it when he was offering her food; it looked so good! Being as she was, rather than drop what she'd just gone through the effort to pick up, she instead leaned forward to eat the tasty morsel right out of his hands in a move that most would call incredibly embarrassing. As she pulled back, grinning, she nodded a few times. "Very tasty! They have good meat!" Hefting the bag onto her shoulder and taking it with her with no apparent effort, she hurried to a different part of the buffet to grab many meaty morsels.
When she returned, she repeated the motion and held out some meat for him with a grin plastered to her face. :33
Oh great Guardians was this piece of meat really not getting the idea to check above him? Even her sister could at least pinpoint from where a noise was coming; even the forest animals she hunted could do that much. To think there were some that were even more defenseless than her prey... With such tasty-looking appendages... She silently gulped on air before shaking her head. No. NO.
Friend. Not. Food.
"Oi! Up here." If there had been an initial amount of friendliness in her voice, now it mixed with some semblance of irritation. Any semblance she'd had to be polite gone with that (well, mother wasn't here to chastize her anyways). She did not enjoy being ignored. She was leaning forward on the branch so far it seemed she might fall off, her outstretched wings the only things keeping her balanced.
"What's your name?"

Paloma had been back on her own for a while, without a companion of any kind now that Jeanette Isabella had left in search of her own fun. She visited often, obviously, and the two had a grand time together, but Paloma felt it was time for her to seek out some pleasant company of a different variety.
She'd heard Iordanes talk about these great and grant parties his mother held every year, but she'd never quite bothered to go until now. This was his work, after all, and she didn't want to interrupt him at work. But it had been long enough that maybe he wouldn't recognize her, or at least that she wouldn't be a distraction.
Paloma had been one of the first off the boat and onto the island. Wings helped with that. She'd grabbed a towel and headed for the pool. After the dreadful weather they'd been having back home, she couldn't wait to sun herself by the waters. She was lying on her stomach, her wings folded peacefully behind her, until she saw the most gorgeous legs walking her way.
Soft skin that shone in the sunlight, well-turned calves that led up to the most delicious-looking thighs, with a translucent decoration much like her wings. She wasn't able to contemplate what those beautiful thighs led to since their owner climbed into the water. And...was that a little sigh she heard? Paloma's heart skipped a beat.
After a moment she casually rose from her towel and joined this purple beauty in the soaking pool with a soft smile. "Sure beats the weather back home, doesn't it?" She winked and sighed a relaxed sigh. Her wings didn't super appreciate getting wet, but it wasn't like she'd really be needing them here.

Pu stared at the orange giant as he seemed to be floundering with his emotions. Was it not a simple question....? Watching as he turned to the drink, then to her book before finally answering, she growled in frustration. She had a time limit. Gods, why could she not be favored in this moment by someone who was more...just more.
She stopped growling an took a deep breath to calm herself. She would not have gotten where she was today if she had not mastered her temper ages ago. When one was confronted by obstacles, one overcame them. This situation was no different. Perhaps her accent was stronger than she thought. Maybe another try would warrant her an answer.
More flipping of the book. More pausing. Then another staggered question.
"How...You...Like...Die...?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haku stopped in his tracks at her last warning. Try...plants... HIS BABY!! He quickly looked around, preparing to defend any such maurader against attack the succulent of his loins. Only to find none.
Good Goddess, he had allowed it to mess with him. Stance relaxing, he took a deep breath and sighed. Of course, that was probably what it wanted. Too frighten him and have him running for cover. Well. That wouldn't happen. Not today anyway.
Checking on his plant pouch, he continued his stalking. This time toward the Jungle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shizzle quickly apologized. Then gave a once over to the pae. No jewelry. What a shame. Remembering his manners, his hand shot out in a formal greeting. "Sorry about that! I'm afraid I wasn't watching where I was going. I hope I didn't trample ya."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tocino nearly shat himself. The voice commanded him to look up and when he did, he nearly shat himself. There, about middle way up a tree, was a very large bird. Now he had never seen a bird quite that large before and now he rather hoped he never would again. She was staring at him in what one could only call DESIRE. Sadly, it wasn't a desire to jump his bones.
Taking a deep breath, well attempting to, he reached his hand up and stupidly waved. He was still trying to think of a way to get away. You don't run from large predators. That made them chase. He knew that well enuff. It was a few more seconds before he remembered that she had asked for him name. He opened his mouth to answer but instead a squeak came out.
well this was ridiculous. He had promised not to be a scaredy cat this trip. PROMISED. So he cleared his throat, tried to calm the hell down, and finally answered. "Tocino. You?" There. That seemed civil.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yipes fairly blushed at being called edible by this young angel. Then the blush happened for real as he felt a quick brush of lips across his cheek. His angel had kissed him. Well, this made those Christmas mornings and many nights he had peeked at his presents, somewhat awkward.
Still smiling though, he puffed a bit and his past life holiday ornament turned real grabed his arm and began to walk with him. "But of course my dear." He allowed a few steps to be taken before he decided to let loose a question that had been bugging him since he first laid eyes on her.
"May I ask how you managed to come to life so brilliantly?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pelagious peeked into bar area and sighed. He hadn't been able to find his little helper since he sent her for a drink. It was only a drink he had sent her after. Not a full course meal. Where could she be?
He meandered through a few more rooms. The spa area was almost vacant. the gym was deserted except for a lone red demon. The ballroom was filled with mellons setting up for tonight.
Where could she be....? Perhaps she had gotten distracted by another pae. Perhaps she had been stolen?! Oh dear. She was his by rights!! Venus had given her to him fair and square. And someone was going to steal her? THEY JUST GOT HERE!! Pelagious snarled and set off outside to search out there.
If she was kidnapped, he would find her. She was his. You didn't mess with his stuff without consequences.
Quote Pelagious is on the move!

Man, this pae was more jumpy than a grasshopper; it was if he'd never seen one of her kind before. As far as she was aware (having had a sister like her wander into her life and only leaving to attend these parties, where others were plentiful), seeing one like herself should have been a common occurrence. None of the others seemed to pay her any mind.
However... a mischievous grin formed on her lips as she observed the situation. It could be nice to be thought of in such a way. She didn't entirely dislike being feared.
In a manner most certainly imitating her mother, the harpy produced an almost purring sort of sound as she sat back, pleased that he had answered her question. "Saira." A pause. "What are you doing?"
Naturally, the bird carried her friend's sack because friends didn't let friends forget their things. Or, at least that's what she'd always assumed. It didn't take long for her to about forget that she was holding it at all, though she would be sure to return it eventually.
"Welcome!" she cooed back before reaching to snack on her own plate. Somehow, she had the bag balanced on her shoulder in such a way that she didnt need to support it with either of her hands, one of which was holding a plate and the other of which was moving food to/from it.
Being strong had its appeal at times
Looking around as she silently ate, she observed what the others were doing. Some walking towards water, some to some building, others playing a game of sorts? Hmm... Interesting. "Want to do anything?"
