"Uh, I don't know who's leader of our group…?" He replied, uncertainty in his voice. He didn't know who was leader in the group, hesitant to even consider himself part of a group when he was so used to being on his own. He took a moment to accept Eurn's handshake before pulling away. He wasn't good with contact. He was grateful that Nykidia started talking again, agreeing with her as he looked curious seeing the hydra's shift in personality. Before he could question if another head was in control his attention snapped to someone tripping over Eurn's tail. Why do people keep showing up? He thought, mumbling the thought quietly to himself. "You might want to be careful of your tail." He said, his words aimed towards Eurn so he'd noticed what happened.
Nysaxiope shook her head. "I'll tell you, if there was a leader of this group it wouldn't be Aaron. Plus we all just met each other earlier today so I don't think we're a group yet."
Faraneer was very unsure. The male nervously fiddled with his hands, eyes looking over each and every individual. He always seemed to be a wary and nervous wreck when put in a social situation. It wasn't his job, it was Mylnorr's job to make the tough decisions and such. So to suddenly be put into the position, he was completely lost.
~Oi Faraneer, speak out would ya! Naga is too stupid to understand anything, probably grew up in a tribe or something, that or by the way he's acting, could be a possible escapee from a slave train. So willing to join and serve a 'leader', pathetic~.
Kirdairn's voice did seem to make Faraneer jostle out of his nervous state, if only slightly. His eyes were constantly searching, body tense. His forked tongue flicked past his lips, testing the air.
"R-right, well m-m-my brothers and I-I don't really belong t-to any group…we've always l-l-looked out for ourselves…"
His gaze flickered to the siren, then to Aaron. The male looked back to the naga, "B-besides…my one b-b-brother would never r-r-really be cooperative with a-a leader…"
There was an annoyed snort in their mind ~Only one I might consider listening to is Mylnorr…and Nirvana~.
Eurn nodded in understanding at the nervous person and politely said "Tthhank you, fffinding who holds the parthy thogetthher is importhanth is seeing how tthhe parthy works overall so tthhath was why I was asking, Whath's your name? Oh, allssso who are your brotthhersss?" At this moment he heard the comment about the fallen person and twisted around to help him up, though recoiling when feeling how cold he was (Can I assume that the fae is very cold?). He settled with picking up his stuff and holding it for her as he coiled his tail. He turned to the floating fish person as he ventured for clarification "Are you tthhe girl fffrom Nyss Fisshh? You sseem lllike her, or you I guesss, and tthhe backroom iss a good idea Nyk," he began awkwardly backing up to the door leading deeper into the building.
"Leader? Well I think Aaron might be. But we would someone would have to steer him away from trouble because he seems to be almost magically drawn to it." Nykidia said jokingly poking Aaron in the side. "Come on!" She said waving her hand to follow her as she walked towards the back room.

erm… Lunos is a dude, sorry dude…//
"I am extremely sorry," Lunos said, picking up the boxes and the bag he had been carrying. "I was not looking to where I was going and ended up… Here. Where is here, anyhow?" He asks with a furrowed brow, he knew they shouldn't have stopped here, he just knew it. I told them it would end badly and look at me now, I told them.
Eurn relinquished his stuff and said "you're in a casssino, ith's a litthhhllle bith hard to jussstthh wander intho one of tthhese" with a lightly confused but mostly amused look.
"I'm not used to cities, especially not big ones like this. Plus, the door was open and I was distracted." Lunos says in his usual cold tone, his breath still coming out in puffs.
Aaron's gaze flicked over to Faraneer, starting to relax as he realized how easily rattled the hydra was now. "I can agree we aren't really a group yet," He stated, for once being straight with the fact he agreed with someone. While the others were talking his pupils became slits for a moment as he spoke in a more threatening and warning tone towards the hydra, "Though you better cooperate anyways if you want to leave without getting more injuries. You caused quite the problem earlier." He flashed a smile, though it wasn't friendly, before blinking to show normal pupils as he looked away like nothing happened hopefully before the others could notice. Though in reality he was keeping himself from grinning, glad he might be able to mess with someone rather than have everyone teasing him.
Then suddenly he was surprised by Nykidia. He hadn't expected her to poke him, but the surprise was more from her saying he might be a leader. Even if it said jokingly no one really said things like that about him. It made him stop for a moment, not knowing what to think, before simply following Nykidia. He nearly forgot about the fae until he spoke up, looking back at him. "Nykidia." He called, "Do you want this person to be brought to the back with us? He seems lost." He spoke bluntly, not really caring if the fae was distracted to lost or teleported. He just wanted to know whether to drag him along or leave him to be kicked out by Flyn.
Nykidia smiled mischievously. "Sure. Why not? A new face is always good." She said turning away from Aaron. Nykidia was tired and she could sense that Night needed to rest. It strained her to much if she was outside a body. "Aaron?" She asked looking at him once she got into the back room.
"Alright," He said, looking to the fae as he spoke to him what applied to the rest of the group, "Then follow us. There's a fireplace in the back room." Though he didn't move right away at his own words, pausing so his gaze could scan the area one more time before heading to the back room. He didn't think much of it, the action was just a habit of looking out for potential trouble.
So without another word he motioned for the others to follow as he moved, stopping just inside the back room as Nykidia looked at him. She seemed tired, and Aaron went silent for a moment as he tried to think of what she'd ask. "…Yeah?" He replied finally. It was a short answer, but nonetheless acknowledged he was listening.
Nykidia rubbed her eyes slightly. "Could you watch the others for a moment? I need to go fuse with Night." She said looking at the others. She never fused in front of new people unless she had to. She had to with Aaron the first time she met him sense her and Night happened to be apart.
Aaron hesitated, not really sure why she trusted him when she could asked Nysaxiope. The siren would probably have better luck keeping everyone under control. "Uh, sure…" He agreed, thinking of how it was only a moment. If the others were tired like her maybe they wouldn't cause trouble, and he felt more awake despite it being late. He sat down in hopes everyone would come so he didn't have to get them before Flyn kicked anyone out, and though he didn't complain about the cold the warmth coming from the fireplace was nice.
Nykidia sighed. "Thank you." She said. She began to walk up the stairs. Once she got upstairs she leaned against the hall wall and slid down it slowly until she hit the floor. She sighed as Night floated down next to her. "You alright?" She asked Nykidia. Nykidia smiled at her. "Yeah. I'm fine." She told Night. "Go ahead. I know you need a rest. I'll just have you be the one in control most of the time, got it?" Nykidia explained. Night nodded her head. Nykidia took a deep breath in, allowing Night to enter her body.
~Let me at that little bastard! I'll wipe that smug-ass smile off his face~.
Faraneer's form seemingly shook now and then. A combination of cold and nerves. His voice was quieter as he spoke softly more to himself, "P-please Kirdairn…w-w-we are in no condition to fight…"
His voice became a bit louder as he responded to the naga's question, "I've been called Faraneer…m-my brothers are Mylnorr and Kirdairn…"
The male's eyes shifted back to the girl, Nykidia, as she seemed to want them all to follow. Faraneer shifted his weight, still very clearly nervous. He would've much preferred to bolt and slink into a nice hot cave, but that was back in their old swamp homes. Faraneer had never really been aggressive or a fighter. He was simply content to watch the world, observe, and maybe speak when something interested him. Though Kirdairn's rather aggressive nature was a bit off-putting, causing Faraneer to feel a bit bullied at times.
However, when it came down to it, he could prove to be just as ferocious when provoked. Despite a timid nature, if his brothers, himself, or someone they actually care about were threatened in any way, Faraneer could be just as aggressive. However, his 'fuse' was extremely long to burn down before he snapped.
The male took a cautious step forward. In their mind, there was a loud snarl ~Just what the hell do you think you are doing? This could very well be a trap~.
This did indeed cause Faraneer to pause. His brother did make a fair point, and from the aggressive words and stance of the other, Aaron, Faraneer was inclined to heed Kirdairn's words.
Lunos cocked an eyebrow in confusion and checked his watch, he had enough time, he could waste some time here. I just need to stay the fuck away from the fireplace. I hate fire. He muttered in his mind as he shrugged and followed the people to wherever they were taking him. I suppose my entire aesthetic is going to be ruined as soon as I step foot near that fire, I'll get to damn hot.
At seeing the hesitancy of Faraneer, Eurn doubled back, letting the others pass by him. He gave the man a wide berth as he tried to reassure him "Ttthhhere's notthhing dangerous back tthhere, I can assssure you, I've been back tthhere quithe a few thimes and ith's acthuallly quithe open in tthhere if I remember correctthllly…" He rubbed one of his bracelets awkwardly as he tried to think of a way to help his nervousness, he noticed Aaron's threat as he wasn't as discreet as he might think he was. He finally settled on an idea after a moment "If you feelll weird abouth going back there, I could go in firsth and thellll you if ith's safe or noth? I have no idea why any of tthhe otthher people don'th lllike you, so I'm tthhe besth tthhird parthy you have ath tthhe momenth." he backed up a little further, waiting to hear his answer.
Nysaxiope looked to the hydra. "So this is Faraneer? Great, you seem nicer than Kidairn." She paused before continuing, "Kidairn, there's no need to be so angry all the time. It's not a trap, relax and leave your poor brother alone, why are you always yelling at him?" She clicked her tongue. She raised an eyebrow in question at Eurn. "Yes, I am Nysaxiope, the owner of Nys Fish, how is it you know me?"
Nykidia and Night walked down stairs. "Thanks Aaron," Night said walking up to him. "Nykidia is tired so I'll be in control most of the time, kay?" Night explained. "Wonder what the others are up to."
Eurn turned to Nysaxiope and smiled "Nyssassiope? nissse name, I wanthed tho go tho your resstheranth buth sssinsse I know many gangs roam tthhath area and a figth tthhath happened outhside…" He looked like something just registered as he whipped around to Faraneer "Hey! Did you know tthhath your brotthher goth in a fith outhsside of her ssthore? Allssso, why did sshhe callll you both Faraneer and Kidairn?" A very confused look was beginning to form on his face, as the peices were not making sense together. (He forgot to smell your scent, so he has NO clue about his actual type Dragon)
Aaron tilted his head slightly as Night explained, nodding his head. So long as they were on good terms he was fine with letting Nykidia rest. He looked to the fae, the only one to follow so far, as Night questioned about the others. "About to get kicked out if they don't come is what they're up to, give me a second." He went over to the door, leaning out of the room to see the others talking. Is it really that hard to walk for five seconds rather then talk? He thought, a bit annoyed. "Hey, can you guys hurry up before I have to come over there? It's not that hard to walk to a room." He called, and though he was annoyed they didn't listen he didn't really care at the same time. So his voice was calm, even as he looked to the hydra, "I'm not above just tying you up and dragging you over here."
Nysaxiope turned to Aaron then gave him a flat look. "I would find it rather hard to walk to a room seeing as, you know, I don't have legs, but fine." She went to float into the backroom.
"yeah, I'd rather not do that!" Eurn called back as he turned around to point his tail to the back room, after which he just slowly shifted his torso backwards as he looked at Nysaxiope and Faraneer, waiting for replies. (think of him folding his tail under him as he goes backward, still staring at them in a friendly way, or just picture something weird that is actually kind of off-putting yet natural)
