Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Kinda of an Azu along the portals post, just made it separate to lessen confusion.))

The sun has high in the sky, gleaming off of the melting snow on the castle grounds, and coincidently, a portal situated on one of the ice stepping stones near the fountain.
Azuria was making her way down there, recently fighting with Alto, and now looking for a quick escape to cool off. That seemed to be happening more and more, as Azuria grew colder, and Alto grew more insistent on finding these portals, acting like he had no motive what so ever.
"b*****d." She muttered now at the shore.

Before Alto could make the leap, a whip like vine ensnared his feet and knocked him to the ground.
Azuria walked up behind him, resting a foot on his back, grinding her heel into him with a bit of malice before she let off.
"You know what amazes me more than anything Alto." She said softly, her voice seething with anger. "All this time you've bitched about me acting more responsible, and I take up that challenge, watching my own actions more carefully, making sure no one has to babysit me. And here you are..."
She raised her foot slightly, almost ready to kick him in the face, but instead set it back down, circling him. "Acting like an idiot and forcing me to babysit you."
The vines released, as Azuria stood in front of him and the portal. Her fists were clenched tight, as she tried to look as calm as she could, and yet still shaking with rage.

Azuria smirked at him, meeting his glare with a humored look. During the past few weeks it seemed Azuria had simply lost all compassion for the residents of the castle, and especially enjoyed attacking Alto.
"No no Alto... I get it. You want to go back home."
She shrugged a bit, "And despite all logic, you think these portals will take you home."
She stepped aside and bowed arrogantly, "well I can't wait to see the look on your face when once again we are not in Iyo."

She held her cheek for a moment, mouth open, and for once losing her smug and careless attitude as she stood there.
When he began to walk away though, she seemed to recover, and before he touched the portal, she tackled him from behind, sending them both falling through.

Azuria managed to fall back away from him, although rather clumsily. Somewhere along the line she heard and felt a bone in her arm snap, as she took the brunt of the tumble on a particular flight of stairs.
"Oh go ******** yourself! You ******** asked for it." She growled, holding her arm close, and trying to stand, though her legs hurt as well, with already huge dark bruises painting them.
"Hey Alto... we in Iyo yet?" She mocked seething, "because I can't wait to leave your a** here."
With that she limped away from him, not appearing to want to help him up at all as she head for the stairs.

There was a moment where Azuria was shouting back at him, raising her foot painfully and attempting to kick him hard.
"Oh SHUT UP! To think I actually wanted to..." She sneered at him as best she could, and felt the urge to spit on him as he accused her and then rolled over.
"I didn't do anything to you, you idiot. You probably broke something when you hit that statue."
She had stepped back when he let go, and strongly felt the urge to just turn and leave, but instead she found she couldn't just leave him there like that.
"You look pathetic, get up."

Azuria watched from where she was standing, still holding on to her own throbbing arm.
"Wh-what?" She asked cautiously when he dropped the arm.
But him cracking off the limb, caused a new scent to drift into the air, the smell of death. It was subtle and yet it caused Azuria to nearly hiss, like an animal, and back up even further.
"It's dead."

She looked at him quizzically, then let out a sigh, deciding to let it drop or they would never make it out.
"My arm." She said softly, not stopping to look at him, but simply taking one step at a time, flinching terribly, but reminding herself each time she started it, she should have just backed off.
