The large stone portal that Gaara led Botan through led to some fairly spacious but sparsely furnitured rooms. The windows that had been carved out in the stone walls showed a view over the hidden village of Sand. If the sun and the heat was anything to go by, it was in the middle of the afternoon. The streets that winded between large stone

"The weird things that tend to happen in the Nexus when you eat things, take gifts, or anything else, really," she explains. "For example, once I was hit by a water balloon that made me sprout cat ears and a tail. I had a craving for warm milk and for people to scratch me behind the ears for an entire week."

"Good. The best rides are the tallest ones."

((I figured I'd start a new thread, because the other one was getting to be a hot mess to navigate.))

[desert_gaara]

"Ah, those. I've seen it happen to others, but I've managed to keep myself away from it so far."

((I'm really really sorry for not replying sooner. I've been distracted.))

[thedeath_of_you]

She laughs. "I'm a trouble magnet. It's not always so bad, but chaos seems to follow me, anyway."

((Hey, it's cool. I was kidnapped yesterday and kept out till the early morning, so I've been pretty much dead till about an hour ago.))

[desert_gaara]

He chuckles lowly. "I've met a few people like that before. Always getting into trouble but still always getting out of it as well."

((*phew* Still, if I'm slow on replies, it´s because some of my other pups are fighting for my attention. I really should learn not to have threads all over the place.))

"I'm lucky if I can get myself out of it. Yuusuke says I should just get a babysitter. He's one to talk, I'm usually the one taking care of him!"

((But that's what makes it fun!))

[desert_gaara]

"Still, isn't that what friends are for? Taking care of each other?"

((But most of my pups are homicidal maniacs. It gets violent when they fight! >.<))

[thedeath_of_you]

She nods. "That and bailing them out of jail, planning weddings for them, and taking care of them when they're drunk. There's a lot of that, which is another reason why my apartment's so messy. But they've all done so much, it's the least I can do." She pokes her food in thought before putting it her mouth.

[desert_gaara]

"So it's give and recieve? You give as good as you get?"

[thedeath_of_you]

She nods. "I don't mind. I like to give and help." She falls silent, lost in thought.

[desert_gaara]

"It makes you happy to help?" He says this with a small smile. After all, it's something he knows about himself now.

[thedeath_of_you]

She snaps back to reality. "Oh, definately. It's better to give than receive, as cliche as that sounds." Who can resist giving back a smile?

[desert_gaara]

"In that line of thought, I think you receive as you give." Leaning his chin in his hand, he studies her as if trying to figure something out.

[thedeath_of_you]

"Mhhm." She smiles, then notices the studying. "Is there something wrong? Something on my face?" She frowns, trying to get anything off. Excuse her, she can be a bit spazzy sometimes..

[desert_gaara]

"No, there's nothing on your face." He chuckles. "I'm just... trying, to learn, I guess."

[thedeath_of_you]

She leans in. "Well, you came to the right girl! I'm a very good teacher.." She thinks. "Learn what?"

[desert_gaara]

"You," he simply said. "And... Not having been on a date, it's safe to say that I don't know what I'm supposed to do or if anything is expected."
