Welcome to Gaia! ::

((welcome back Dame ^^))
::Maune looks down at Dame and sees that she woke up and starts to massage her shoulders again:: Enjoying the massage?

Hmm? -looks over shoulder at Maune- Oh, what, Maune? I'm sorry, I'm just caught up in my book. -smiles- The massage is great, my friend. Thanks. ^_^

*chuckling slightly at Ryzan coughing, she also sighs, realizing his words are true. As he sets his glass down, she catches a glimpse of his hand and the scars she traced on it the other night. Fingers tingling from remembering the rough lines of said scars, she instinctively rubs her fingers on the thigh of her lounge pants, wondering where he could have gotten such scars on an otherwise perfectly smooth surface. As she's about to open her mouth and try to ask without being too intrusive, Icy is stopped in her tracks by his last statement. With this new information, she cocks her head slightly, looking at him in intrigue*

Oh really? So it's not your repulsion of me that's driving you to go back home? Might I ask what else has driven you to this point?

Its fine. I will try ::Maune moves his soft hands to Dame's back and starts to get her a back massage::

*lifts his wrist to his chin and giggles*
Gi ussta, nau. You are not the first I have had to live under the same roof with who I strongly disliked, and I am quite certain you will not be the last~ Did you believe I was simply being dramatic when I said that I do not feel I belong here? That is why I wished to leave... it has less to do with you than jabbress and Katana seem to think.

*holds his knees up to his chest and looks down at the floor*
I had tried to tell them the isto they put us in here, jhal they were so fixated on having us "work things out", as you say, that they did not hear it. Jabbress is the only one of this world who has truly made me feel welcomed. While others have tried, the instant that I do something they do not consider pleasing, rather than try to understand as jabbress does, they simply avoid me, directing their attention my way only to show how much they disapprove of me.

*traces his finger in a circle on the floor*
If you were to do the things I have been given such looks for, they would not treat you the same as they treat me. They would rush to your aid. Your enemy is their enemy. That is because you belong here... I do not. I had thought that as long as jabbress accepted me, that was all that would matter. I was wrong.

*crosses his arms over the top of his knees and lays his head down on them, trying his hardest not to appear too upset in front of Icy*
... on top of all of that, there is Quor... um... Tes...

eek Holy crap she wasn't wearing much... -grabs a scone- Oh. Em. Gee. They are still warm. -takes a bite- Mmm. Good but doesn't hit the spot. -looks back a Maune deviously- twisted Hey, Maune, think they got other stuff over at Lily's? lol

Maybe Dame :;continues to give Dame a back massage softly but hard at the same time::
