Welcome to Gaia! ::

Azuria hadn't slept well since she had returned from the last portal, something was certainly bugging her even more than before. At least when she had turned suddenly cold, she slept better at night.
But now she was a brick wall and angsty. Certainly an unpleasant cocktail of emotions, and certainly making her harder to be around. Which may have been why she was wandering down the halls of the castle so late at night.

After a while she slowly turned towards the library, honestly... she hated that room. It was where the castle attempted to speak to her the loudest, where all of here history had been written, and where she first sat down and negotiated with Alto.
But before she reached the door, her ears twitched.
"Another one?"
She listened, then opened the door, and there it was another portal.
She sighed and turned, apparently going to get Alto, but suddenly stopped.

What if it is Iyo?

Azuria shook her head a bit, but turned to get a better look at it.

I should tell Alto...
Why? So he can go home?
.... he said he wants that.
Do you want that? All you have to do is check, and if it is we can close it and he'll be stuck here.
... I can't do that.

Azuria was biting her lip as she argued with herself and the castle walls. And though she knew the right thing to do, for some reason she wasn't sure if she was going to do it.

Whatever it was Azuria had been thinking at that moment stopped dead as her mouth dropped open a bit. She tried to get a better look, even held up her arm to shield the light from her eyes.
But it was no good, finally she stuttered a fairly surprised, "H-hello?"

Azuria had her head tilted to the side, blinking and simply staring awkwardly until finally she recovered and shook her head.
"Now see here! It's polite, when... coming into new worlds to say hello back." She placed her hands on her hips, the same response she'd often give Alto when he ignored her, "Do you speak english?"

"...Zen?" Azuria was once again caught by surprise, and allowed her arms to drop as she took a few steps closer and inspected the map before looking up.
"No... this doesn't look like our plant, this is earth. Not.... Zen."

Azuria's face was almost ash white, not saying anything at first but the moment he turned away her arm shot out and grabbed his own so harshly it might have hurt a bit.
And if that didn't the force by which she yanked him back certainly would have.
"You said Iyo." Came her low and almost growling voice. "Where the reploids live?"

Azuria didn't let go at first but his sudden change in attitude caused her to take a deep breath and let go.
"I'm sorry... please don't go just yet. My name is Azuria.... I'm looking for Iyo too. At least ... I think it is the same. The Iyo where the reploids live?" She asked again, trying to look kinder, but her hand behind her back was fidgeting madly.

Azuria cursed loudly, and without another thought ran in after him.
She didn't even consider the portal closing on her.
