{ROFL Don't feel guilty! It was all about Xadria and Adam for, how long? LOL it's totally your well-deserved turn. <3 And, BTW, nice new icon. =D}
Xadria felt a delighted sense of satisfaction as May confessed grudgingly, especially satisfied with the color in her cheeks, as if this was something she really hadn't wanted to confess in the first place - which, apparently, it wasn't.
Selfishly, a brief thought of Defenders can't marry each other? flashed through her mind naturally, but then disappeared as Mayriah mentioned Melosa. Xadria's eyes narrowed slightly in an instinctively irritated manner, but passed quickly, resuming to a stoic expression.
"So you like him then....?" She said bluntly, disregarding anything about Mel that she possibly could; what was so attractive about her?!

{{OOC//: Thanks! ^^}}
May twisted her fingers around her belt, the one that held her stones, violently, fraying the fabric. She disliked disclosing secrets. She disliked the fact that it was so obvious- to someone she had honestly just me, as a matter of fact!
"Well...yes. But it would be very unwise for me to." Oops, she hadn't meant to mention so, even though it was true. "And like I said, he dosen't like...me. Very few do."
She wasn't trying for sympathy. Point of fact: once people got past her appearance, they found her simply to...mysterious. And secretive. And liable to punch them in the head.
{{OOC//; And I love yours! *issojealous*}}

{Now, somehow, I must give you all the credit you deserve. ^^ This is the hard part, with little Mr. Non-forward-I-like-to-keep-to-myself-because-I-have-Defenders-to-watch-over Seth. LOL} Xadria curled her index fingers around her belt loops casually, smiling with utmost innocence. She didn't bother to point out that the Defenders all seemed to love her, and she didn't really expect that she'd have to.
"Mayriah; I think of all people, you should know that things can be expressed differently from each individual." Take her and Adam, for example - he was forward, she was... less so, "Maybe he's not so good with expression." {Thanks. =DD Actually, it wasn't really supposed to look so... blurry. But saving it with the transparent background didn't meet its fancy, I s'pose. ;__;}

{{OOC//: I keep changing my icon... >< I have no idea why... *squeals like a fangirl}}
May let out a little laugh. "Yes, no doubt about it. But still..." She let herself drift off, before gathering her thoughts, shaking her head and looking up with a bright smile. "Enough chitchat. I say we see what we can do to help and then get going. The Pure Stones are waiting. Right Seth?"
Her question TOTALLY didn't have to do with the fact that she liked him. Of course not. Well, maybe. A little. Possibly. Yeah.
She picked up a random wrench of Erik's, asking polietly to use it. He waved his hand, as if to say "Of course!" She smiled in thanks before calming walking up to her Stormer and whacking it into the next realm. The team looked at her like she was insane. She rightened up. "Erm...mine sort of takes some encouragement." She said, gingerly placing the wrench down and wandering away with an innocent whistle to the stream.

{Because I LOVE THE ONE YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW TO ITTY BITTY PIECES} Xadria laughed, loving how she avoided the question so obviously, like there was no way she could stay on this topic any longer - sanity's sake? Dignity? Shyness? What was up with that? In any case, she seemed to have gotten the answers she needed from her new friend.
Seth chuckled lightly, amusement covering all of his features. Kara was in a state of utter 'OHMIOGAMA'-shock.
"You know, May, if your bike doesn't start, you could just ride on of ours..." He raised his eyebrows with definite amusement, "Mine can carry two people." They all could, but that was so not the point.

{{OOC//: Aww, thanks!}}
May blushed. "No, I'm good. Itjust takes alotofencouragment." She said in a rush, feeling a trmendous burst of happiness.
One more whack and she was done. She sighed and rubbed an arm against her forhead. The day was pretty warm. "Alright...so, where are we heading, fearless leader?" She smiled. Yes, she was flirting, but ONLY A LITTLE. It SO did not count.
"Erm..it may break down, just so we all know." She added nervously.

Seth smiled at her in a feeble attempt to be reassuring, "If it does, we've got backup." He grinned and focussed intently on his handlebars, keeping his fascination bubble most restrained.
"Well, like Erik was saying, we could probably get going off to Dakorian country." He shrugged, still looking mildly flustered.

May nodded, keeping the blush from spreading, It was old. He was cute. GET OVER IT. "Dakorian country it is. Uhm...wait. Xadria dosen't have a ride. Did you want my Stormer again?" She asked, pulling her Guardian out. "I don't mind riding Cerberius again. Really."
Rolling the Stone in her hand, it occured to her that the others had not seen her Guardian, and might not take to its spectral appearnce. Or massive Ogama energy.

Xadria nodded, "Thanks, May." Having her trying to get ontop of a little bird would not go over to well. Alayra was cute, and generally quite a useful attack from above, but she was hardly a guardian one could ride. Or should even try.
"May, don't use up all your Sigel energy." Seth said, half-scolding her, "It's not that long a ride, and, as far as I know, I don't bite."

May blushed-NO! She didn't! d**n the blush! d**n her being a red head! She put her stone away. "Well, if your sure..."
What was going on in her head was her screaming "HELL YES!" But a Priestess-to-be would never say something like this.
Gingerly, she mounted the bike, so far back she was without a doubt going to fall off the minute the thing started.

seth smirked with a prominent amusement, "When you fall off, tumbling to your death, don't blame me, okay?" His voice implied a tease, but he was really quite serious; though, he hoped he wasn't, at the same time - well, anyway. Some things only made sense in his head, clearly.
"I'm quite sure, but I might have to rethink that if you're intent on sitting so precariously on the end."

"Oh hahaha." May said sarcasticlly, throwing a dirty look at Xadria who, no doubt, was laughing her head off at May's complete incapibility to handle Seth. "I was getting there. I'm just...this is a different make. Then what I'm used to."
Which was true. Trus-ish.
She slid up a couple of inches, so that, in Seth's words, she wouldn't 'tumble to her death'. She was about to put her hands on Seth's waist, then lost her nerve, and placed them in tightly balled fists in her lap. This was pathetic.

Xadria was, admittedly, making a great effort to keep her shaking shoulders from becoming too visible. That was too likely to piss May off to be a safe option of behavior. Fortunately, overall, it looked like her attention was basically rivited on Seth.
Who was smiling with a sort of shameless laughter, "And now you can blow off." Inside, his leader instincts were screaming We don't have time for this! Stop playing around! but he ignored that with some difficulty, "We're going to have to tie you on, at this rate."

Feeling utterly ridiculous, May blushed. Again. She made a mental note to kill herself. "Sorry, I guess I'm...shy." Actually, she wasn't normally, but it made a wonderful excuse. She put hands on either side of Seth, pointedly looking away from Xadria, although managing to get a dig in. "If it starts making a whirring noise, it might detonate. So be careful." She said sweetly.
It had, in fact, made several noises. And had blown up. Just not with whirring. And she was pretty sure she had fixed up the random exploding part.
{{OOC//: Pathetic...><}}

Shy? She was shy? That was her excuse? Xadria was amused, but Seth was relieved it wasn't something terribly repulsive about him. That was a major relief on his end, even if he didn't let it show at all - could've been worse.
Or it could've been an excuse...
Xadria nodded to Mayriah's comment, looking nervously at her ride, jolting back violently with an unpleasant blast from the machine.
"Onward!" Kara said delightedly. { I'm sorry, I know that was absolutely awful. It's 4:5o, and I've been up since 1:45 or so, and I'm afraid my ability to think straight is completely lost at the moment due to some sort of overpowering weariness connected with an inability to sleep. =/ Anyways, you think we're ready to head off the Dakorian country? ^^}

{{OOC//: I know...what you mean. >< I haven't been able to sleep for the past three nights. Its the stupid OSSLT. And most defiently. ^^}}
"Onward!" Erik and Mel replied in high enthusiastic tones. The mood was most defiently uplifted, the spirits high-on to the first Pure Stone!
May smiled happily. Not all in all a bad day. Met the Defenders, long lost friends, met up with Adam, made a new friend (admittedly an odd one, but moot point ^^) and got to ride on the Stormer of an extremley cu...erm, CAPABLE leader.

{{Don't be silly! You could save all of Russia with your writing skills! <3}} Xadria wans't sure whether to think of everything as an adventure or a nightmare. It was fresh and new to her, a fascinating because of it - the team element was trivial, but the journey was something she would've never forgiven herself for missing.
The extremely 'cu -- capable' leader was getting weary. The traveling had been adequate speed, and they hadn't been interrupted. But, no. He was irritated with Erik; Erik and his new invention. That stupid new invention. His stupid new guantlet-type machine. That stupid thing...

The bikes had travelled a considerable distance before the team finally pulled over and rested. May stretched, yawned and hopped off the Stormer, noting with distaste that both her legs were asleep. She wobbled a bit to rescue the feeling. Mel sat down to polish her bike and Erik started yammering about his gauntlet.
"I bet if I could just override the system..." He was saying to no one in particular. May just yawned again-She hadn't been sleeping well- and wandered over to her own bike.

{{ Sorry for the major poof*ge earlier. I was late for yoga, and had to run a bit before they picked me up. =S }} Seth glanced over at Mayriah with deep concern. It wasn't the only time a Defender had ever lost sleep, but he never liked it any more, or any less. It was average, but it didn't suit Mayriah, in his opinion, and it never would. His thoughts were interrupted when a sudden blast from Erik's end of the field. The noise ricocheted around them and made the Earth beneath their feet tremble dramatically.
And that was when a tree fell over, and landed splat on top of him and Kara.
Seth was suddenly alert, his senses screaming: senselessly, "The giant squirrels are attacking!" He screamed hysterically, before realizing otherwise. His face reddened and he sunk back into the leafy canopy.
