Welcome to Gaia! ::

"A bet's a bet. Even if I didn't consent to it!" he said smiling the at Maura as he said the last part. "Kiki, please! Don't change for my sake, really! I'm fine! Don't worry about me!" he said.

Road showed them where they were eating in the building and in the room was a piano. She sat down and played for them while they got seated. ( Ever hear the 14th's song from D. Gray-man?? That's the song she's playing. X3)

Kiki smiled, almost danceing along with the music. It was wonderful to hear the piano aain. It brought back memorys of her mother, and of her father.

"Just look at Kiki Erik, Maura. Just look how happy she is to just be near a piano again. She must have loved it so much...her family is gone. But she can be with them with her music." it was almost heart-breaking, Kiki's face. A mixture of happiness, and sadness.

Kiki could stand it no longer, she needed to play. She sat beside Road, placeing her fingers on the keys. How many songs should she play? Oh! She could play forever! But she didn't have forever here. She had but an evening. So she would have to choice her songs carefully.
She choice her first one, "Road, could I have the piano for a moment? We can play a song togather after this," she said. Pressing her fingers onto the keys. She began to play and sing along with it. She felt, for a moment, free and normal. She sang about a subject she had long forgotten. From her past. Love. Not friendship love, love. The love Erik and Maura shared.

The song pulled so closesly at Bachi's heart, she felt a single tear roll down her face chillingly. She looked at Erik and Maura, 'What pain must have she indured to play sucha song? Who is the song about?'

Road sat beside Kiki and waited for her to finish her melody. She has already experienced the pains of her past and refused to be reminded of it.

Road moved beside Kiki and put her hands on Kiki's. "Its time to eat, so lets go...,she said to the other gently while gently prying her from the piano.

Erik felt the strong vibes coming from Bachi as he'd predicted. He wanted Kiki to be happy, but she was just making it hard for him to be. Why did things get so crazy for him all of a sudden? He was the only man though. As a man, he was taught not to show weakness, you didn't talk about how you felt to just anybody, if anybody at all. These girls were making him do that constantly. But he couldn't say that. So he quickly left the room and walked in any direction, looking for the food.

Maura Kiki straight in the eye and was silent for a moment. Kiki was so innocent and oblivious and she couldn't see that she was surrounded by four walls of pain and suffering. "No," she finally answered. "He hates this place." Maura looked at the door, hoping that Erik would come back any second. "And with good reason. The army destroyed his family. It's destroyed many a family. That was the number one reason children showed up at our orphange. There were boys who left to join the army, and they either died or came back to visit us with rattled brains. They called themselves The Children of War because the war had taken the place of their family....or so they thought." Maura said and fell silent once again.

((next time u post envy, could you plz bring in Mustang? i got an idea for erik))

Maura stood up quickly and grabbed Kiki's shoulders. "Please Kiki, understand! Erik would've never come in here if it wasn't for all of us being here with him! He did this for you! Besides Kiki, if we burn this place down we'll all be punished terribly, and that's something I'd rather not go through right now," Maura said. "If everyone had the choice of burning this place down, it'd have been gone years ago! So please understand that it's ok," Maura went on.
