"Sounds good! Thank you! I'll see you at dinner then." Isa has already begun picking through the bookshelf, like a kid who discovered a library.
group
Kathy smiles, chuckling softly to himself as he closes the door and walks away, his heavy footsteps echoed through the seemingly never ending hall.
Isa spends the hour and a half up to dinner simply enjoying the atmosphere of the room, and just reading multiple of the books on the bookshelf. Today is a good day. He thinks as he relaxes on the grassy ground.
group
A clock in the room chimes, and Goi calls out. “Supper!”
A squeal could be heard and small footsteps.
Isa smiles and closes his book. "I suppose those are all of the fellow inhabitants…" He puts the book back in its place on the bookshelf, and heads towards supper as well, a satisfied smile on his face.
group
Kathy meets him in the kitchen. “Hey. Like your room?” He gets tackled by a small child. He seemed almost seethrough as if he were made of smoke and his long brown bangs covered his eyes. “Big brother!”
Isa begins to answer, "Pretty-" but stops halfway when the child tackles Kathy. He lets the child talk to Kathy, going to finish answering later.
group
Kathy laughs, “Hey kiddo.” He smiles, looking at Isa. “This is buba.” He then mouths to him. ‘He’s dead but pretend he’s not.’ He picks up Buba, propping him on his hip. “We gotta new visitor…”
Buba hugs his stuffed bunny tightly. “Hi.”
Isa waves hello to Buba. "Hi! I'm Isa." He smiles at him and remembers Goi saying something about not looking Buba in the eyes. Probably something to do with the whole 'dead' thing. He just smiles and waves, watching Buba's reaction to him.
group
He smiles and waves back. “It’s nice to meet you, Mr.” he leans into Kathy’s shoulder.
Kathy smiles, “He’s a tad bit shy.” He chuckles.
Isa nods understandingly. "Sounds like me as a kid. Shied away from strangers, just read in the corner." Isa smiles at the kid again, then changes the subject. "So what are we having for supper anyways?"
group
Kathy smiles. “Tamales.” He nods to the kitchen, “Any allergies?”
"Nope. I can eat basically anything, no dietary restrictions of the sort."
group
Kathy smiles. “Good. We eat a variety here.” He plots down in a seat, setting buba down next to him.
The same person with a purple shirt from before walks up to Isa. “Aye.” They had a thick Australian accent.
"Uh.. Hi?" Taken aback for a moment by the sudden appearance, and the unfamiliar accent, Isa introduces himself. "Um.. I'm Isa. Hi."
group
They nods. “Noby.” They sit down, “where ya from mate?”
"Hmm… Nowhere really, I didn't exactly come from one place in particular. Mostly just drifted town to town, sticking to the forests and wilds." Isa began to sit down as he spoke. "So a little of everywhere, a little of nowhere."
group
Noby smirks. “Hm. No wonder.” They lean back in their seat, looking at Goi who brings the food out.
“Some people couldn’t join us sadly.”
Kathy rolls his eyes. “Tell jay to get his- butt down here.”
Goi giggles.
I suppose they wouldn't exactly need to join the group dinner since their room provides food for them… so just anti-social probably. He looked around, and remembered how long it had been since he'd ever eaten with anyone. It had been a while… most of the time it was just him and one other, he couldn't recall anytime he'd gathered around a table with people like a family of any sort. He smiled, and silently whispered, "Thank you."
group
Goi smiles, “Of corse!” She sits down, the people who were at the table began eating. After a moment, a man with a cowboy hat and boots walks in, stealing a plate. “Sorry ‘bout that, ya’ll- just got back from church.” He kisses Kathy’s forehead. “Heard we had a visitor. Welcome.” He smiles.
Isa waves hello to them. "Hi. I'm Isa. So, By church, do you mean that there's an entire church inside this house, or did you go out of the house to go to church?"
group
He smirks, “I go outside the house. Quite frankly I’m the only one in the house who actually believes in the Christian god so we dont need one here.” He pats Kathy’s back. “Besides most of the people here are either atheist or pagan- i mean- and Wiccan but i dont judge.” He ruffles buba’s hair slightly, sitting down.
All Isa knew about that specific religion is that any town with a church for it tended to have very well organized angry mobs. Isa had his horns on public display, and they had not reacted negatively so… All the denizens of this house were pleasantly forgiving of that trait of his. Isa realized he didn't know their name yet. "So whats your name, I didn't actually catch that."
group
He smiles. “Jay, what about you, pumpkin?”
"Uh, Isa. I introduced myself already. Its Isa."
group
He pauses. “Well dang sorry ‘bout that, pumpkin- guess i got distracted.” He chuckles. “Wonderful name by the way.”
Kathy rolls his eyes.
"Thanks… you too?" Isa, vaguely unnerved by the compliment, decides to finally actually eat some of the food. It was delicious.
group
Goi looks at Jay. “I’m guessing Areon wont be joining us?”
He shakes his head. “Naw sadly. He’s a little- ‘shy’. More like bein’ anti social.” He smirks, leaning back in his seat.
Kathy chuckles, standing. “I’ll be back soon then. I’ma bring him his food.” He ruffles Buba’s hair, then pushes Jay’s cowboy hat down to cover his eyes and walks away snickering.
As Isa processes another mouthful of food, he wonders about Kathy and Jay's relationship with each other.. He remembered that Kathy had mentioned that his boyfriend had real big horns, which Jay lacked, but Kathy had kissed Jay on the forehead so… Isa decided to just not ask, as it seemed like a complicated and possibly awkward topic, especially if he was just misunderstanding their dynamic. He swallowed his mouthful and continued eating, to avoid the stress of attempting conversation.
group
Jay smirks, “Confused?” He chuckles. “Its ok. Me, kathy and areon are all dating. Lots of visitors tend to get confused at that.”
Buba speaks up. “Yeah…big brother is…polyamorous!”
This made jay chuckles. “Yep.”
