Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sebastion sat, tail wavering from let to right and back again as he watched his master continue to fiddle with her fingers.
"That looks poisonous. Don't even think of eating them."
Katarina's glare shot up at the black cat, eyes of colorless lenses watching for a moment before returning to the fungus she was so focused on. She was wandering the wood near the school today thinking it'd be a good chance to gather some herbs and roots she had been researching lately. She had came up with no luck until some mushrooms nestled in the nook of some tree roots caught her eye. Even now, she knelt before them, deciding to pick them and possibly get a rash or leave them be.
"Sebastion," she whined. "I wasn't going to eat them in the first place. I can't find it in my herbology textbook," she meant the mushrooms, "and I never saw them before. But maybe they have some special abilities of untold wonder?!" She seriously contemplated in her choices, holding the said herbology text book tightly to her bodice as she eyed them.
Sebastion turned his head unhappily and disappeared behind a tree.
"Watch when you have some disgusting warts because of it," he mentioned as he circled around her.
Katarina stood with a pout, crossed her arms, and gave a sigh. "Fine," she forfeited and began walking to school again. As the birds sang to her as she did, Katarina sauntered back to the school realm where she paced down an outdoor path for the time being, Sebastion not too far behind.

Gabriel held his books in his arms carefully, his jacket placed carefully on his shoulders as he passed an outdoor hallway. He was careful to walk in the shadows, as the sun irritated a vampire's delicate skin and gave a horrid rash after a couple hours in the rays. It was early for him to be up; he had classes in the afternoons, lessons piling up from about noon to the evening. Today, however, he only had one class today and had just finished. He ran a hand through his hair, sighing as he did. He was working on a paper the night before and didn't get much sleep. It was unlike him to not look so...well kept. Even so, Gabriel held his chin up slightly and his posture was not to be reckoned with. He passed by Kyo, a shifter, and Leo, a human mage, as he went back to the dorm rooms to put away his belongings.
Gabriel, though a vampire, didn't really mind shifters. He knew his place and expected them to know theirs. Even so, he made sure not to get them angry and avoided them if needed. Even Gabriel's 'vampire scent' wasn't as strong. On one too many occasions had he been confronted by shifters who smelt him and had wanted to pick a fight. He was cautious, but not so much as to think shifters were not as equal as any other race. He paused in his step, one foot away from his own dorm, pondering in his mind before entering his dorm room to place his book and notebook on his bed.
Before long, Gabriel sat in the shade of a building reading a novel,

Sebastion spat and lifted his head high, avoiding the rambunctious shifter and her feline and sprinted ahead. Katarina was startled by the sudden arrival of Spencer, giving a small sound as the girl slung an arm around her shoulders. Kat lifted her head slightly, blue eyes watching Spencer before responding.
"I'm sorry Spencer but I have to turn you down. I want to save myself for love. My mothers did it before me and I intend to do it when I find myself married."
Katarina had always believed in things like that; her mothers had taught her to be naive. She tilted her head slightly, furrowing brows.
"Besides, there are horny Mercury boys across the lawn. Why can't you find one of them to do the deed with you instead of asking me?"
She wasn't used to Spencer's lack of personal space; Kat lived a life of isolation and homeschooling; never having too many friends other than the animals. That was, until she entered highschool this year as a freshman. Katarina fidgeted and held the hem of her dress.
