Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alex showed up, but it wasn't at the time that Sophie had told him to. And while he might not have approved of Sophie being an initiate, getting the ponies lands back was a cause he could absolutely jump on board with. The sooner they completed this task, the sooner they could all go home. It wasn't that Alexander didn't like the ponies. A fair few of them were at least okay in his books. It was more like he just wasn't sure he could trust them. Not Medea, at least, and certainly not this Death character though he seemed a little more level headed then the Priestess, from what he'd heard.

Anyways, none of that really mattered. What mattered right now is that his sister wanted help, and probably knew that if she told him what she was doing, he would show up (eventually) to keep her out of trouble. After all, if something happened to her, it was his rotting hide on the line with their mother.

And so, he showed up, late and slouched over, wearing nothing less then his usual thrown together attire complete with bare feet, and no other supplies to be seen. He lifted one hand out of his pocket to give Sophie a "hello" gesture as he approached, then shuffled his way through the portal to his sisters side, staring around with mismatched eyes at the greyed out landscape that met them, and shaking his head at the whispers in the air. How did Mort deal with that on a daily basis?

"Hey so...This looks like some fantastic family fun you've got planned here." He said, rather dryly as he continued to look around.

((idunno I assumed she was on the insanity side already sorry if that's wrong XD))

Sophie swatted her brother's back lightly, clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth and frowning lightly. "Oh come on. It won't be that bad. We'll just go in, hit a few monsters and be home in time for dinner." She smiled as if it was actually that simple - as if things always went as planned around here. Her eyes sparkled for a moment. "Besides. I heard they're making weapons out of any loot we find. Rumor has it one of them heals.." She scuffed her foot, kicking a rock into the distance. "I want it."

At the arrival of the horsewoman... perched on Alex's shoulder.. Sophie raised a brow and blinked a few times in surprised before giggling. "Wow, you're really the perfect height for that." Sophie rocked on her heels and gave the horsewoman a smile. "We're going to beat on some titans. Do you wanna come?"

Jay was a horseman, but sometimes one had to wonder if she was secretly an actual bird, especially as she let out a very bird-like squawk when the boil chose to react violently. “H-Hey!” she screeched, thin arms stretched out in an attempt to maintain her balance. Unfortunately, he was beginning to fall backwards. Realizing the situation, she hastily put force into her legs and jumped, causing Alex to fall even further backwards.

But at least she managed to smoothly land a few feet away from him. Hands on her hips, she huffed and turned toward the undead boil. “Even though you’re tall and look sturdy, you are not a good perch.” Jay stuck her tongue out at him before turning toward the ghoul. “Sure! I’m Jay. What about you?”

The woman propelling herself off of his shoulders clenched it, and instead of just flailing madly while wobbling on his feet, Alexander soon found himself lying on his back on the ground, a cloud of dust rising from where he'd landed, arms spread out to each side. "I'm not. A perch." He growled, before reaching up to let his sister haul him up from the ground.

"Also Van Rotte." He added on to Sophies introduction, staggering back to his feet and dusting himself off while shooting the horsewoman an irritated glance. "Her brother."

Apparently in all his failing disgruntlement, he had missed the part where Jay had been invited to come along, but he heard the part where she accepted. Sophie seemed fairly eager to get moving right along, and Alex let out a sigh, rolling his head from side to side and shrugging his shoulders a few times.

"Of course. I wouldn't want to miss lunch." He wasn't smiling just yet, still annoyed by being knocked into the dirt, but the growl in his voice from earlier was at least gone.
