Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Alright, we need to get moving" he said. He hated to urge people to do something, as it was not his nature, but this was pressing matters. Mac did have a sense of justified leadership when certain situations happened. "My home is also safe, just in case we need to use it" he said.

Jinx looked amused. "All right. I doubt he's around anymore, since we're not eager to fight, but we can but try. C'mon, Nezik," she said. "Let's go find the chained thing. Hopefully he's drowned under the weight." Nezik didn't seem to object to being ordered around by the Siren, and the two were off at fairly high speed.

Katalina looked after them. For a second, there was a slow, dawning awareness in her eyes. Then she shook it off with a slow grin. "Well, how about that," she mused. Narcis shot her a look, and she rolled her eyes.

"Cousin," he repeated in irritation. "You won't do anyone any good still wounded. Let the healer look after you."

Katalina glared at him. "That idiot? Narcis, you know more about proper healing techniques than he does! I'm not putting myself in his hands, not even for you. It'll heal on its own."

Tianara, shaking her head slightly, tapped Joshua on the shoulder and jerked her thumb towards Mac. "Let's leave them to it," she said in an undertone. "I have no doubt one of them will win without too much bloodshed."

Tianara matched his stride, trying not to flinch away from the occasional stares - it was obvious that some of these people weren't used to seeing strangers, especially strangers like her. "I'm never going to be able to make a life on land, am I?" she murmured, glancing at Joshua. Although by now she'd almost mastered the coordination required for walking, she still had a somewhat strange gait. That, her clothing, and her odd, albeit musical, accent made her stand out.

Thinking back to Katalina and Narcis, she smiled. "They really do suit, don't they?" she asked, mostly for her own benefit, to take her mind off the strange looks she was receiving.

"Well, I wouldn't eat fish, and I'm more of a seaweed person anyways" commented playfully.

Mac looked at them, "He seems rather interesting" he said. He looked at Tianara, "People today are more used to things being weird and strange than in the past. The youth especially is enacting change, but the older generations of humans are less likely to accept change. Its strange really, because change will always happen, and the new generation will always take over the older generation" he said calmly. "Even though I get weird stares often, I just smile. Most people confuse me for a cute girl, even by voice" he smiled at his comment and scratched his head. "Just be yourself, and people will accept that".

Tianara blinked at Mac. "Well, maybe so," she said at last, "but I'm very strange. I think I'm more worried about understanding them than having them understand me." At Joshua's words, she smiled timidly. "That's all right. If they were careful, and didn't take too much," she said softly. "And I think we should tell him. Maybe he can help us, or know something we can do to protect them. And even if he can't..." She shrugged a bit. "If it won't hurt the seafolk, I don't see why we shouldn't make an old man's dreams come true."
