Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yeah," Chase sighed. "At least I'll know she'll be able to escape any kidnapping attempt." He was sure that if Athena tried, she'd eat through iron to attain freedom. "Are you sure though? You look kind of busy with all that homework." He gestured the stacks of papers and books Shina had.

"Alright," Chase said. "Thanks." Two people hunting down one creature would certainly be faster. But there was one problem... "I have no idea where Athena could've gone though. Last time I saw her, she was running through the gardens. That was yesterday afternoon."

"I wish there were some type of tracking spell that could help us find Athena. They would save me a lot of time," Chase said, sighing. "She isn't the type to come running back because of treats. She rather starve running around than sit down and eat. Anyways, let's go; There is a lot of ground to cover."

{OOC; Plan: Have them spot Athena entering the forest from the fifth floor window?}

Out of breath, Erik arrived in the Ravenclaw Common Room, trailing Verily behind him. He glanced back at her and smiled sheepishly. "That... that was fun," he said, turning to her. Taking a step towards her, he felt a color rise to his cheeks and a want to kiss her again.

When she stepped towards Erik, he felt a lump form in his throat. He was nervous and scared, and at the same time... exhilarated. He put his arm around her and pulled her against him, giving in to his base instinct. "Ver..." he said lightly as he kissed her again.

Instinct was completely driving Erik at this point, since this was the first person he'd kissed beside his mother and sister, and those were always on the cheek. No, Verily was something different, a force that possessed him and drove him to do and feel things he had never done or felt before. With her arms around him, and his around hers, they were conjoined, locked together in a moment of passion. Erik slowly pulled his lips from hers, his cheeks redder than a Gryffindor's robes and rubbed his nose against hers. "Wow," was all that he could muster.

When Verily blushed and looked down at the floor, Erik kissed her forehead and removed one of his arms from around her waist. His cheeks were fire red as he tipped her chin up so that he could look into her eyes. He opened his mouth to say something and his words caught in his throat. Erik then closed his mouth, waited a second and then opened it again. Again, no words came out. Just blurt it out, idiot! Erik drew in a deep breath and blurted"Willyoubemygirlfriend?"

I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know
'Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?

Rick entered the common room, not wanting to be around all of the people enjoying themselves. The whole Welcoming Feast just reminded him of two people that should have been there. Now he just wanted to sleep. Looking around, he spotted something he really didn't want to see. Two people, one of them his dormmates if he was correct, embracing. The sight almost made him want to turn around and walk the other direction instead. He knew the twin didn't care for him, so he narrowed his eyes and cleared his throat. "Excuse me, but are you two going to hog up the common room all night? Some people do need to sleep." Deciding to ignore any rude looks he might get, he lied down on one of the couches, trying to get comfortable enough to sleep. There was no way he was going into his dorm to sleep there.
