Meet the Family (Open)

Zahara covered her mouth with both hands as the thing turned down to face her with eyes she thought were too keen. Her eyes watered slightly.
'Holy-!'
It leaned down to sniff her and she backed across a lawn, not really paying attention to the door somewhere behing her being open. She froze in place though when it got up and began to plod after her, then slowly raised her hands ready to defend herself if it attacked.

Eriyana smiled and got up, helping pass around the rice and vegetables, remembering she hadn't had a snack for a few hours. She went to sit back down in her chair, hearing Yui speak. She turned a bright red and turned to her. "N...no sweetie, I'm just a friend of Gav.." she blushed and sat down, hearing the scream from the front yard.

"Jeez... you would almost think the whole earth kingdom forgot what a badgermole was... and chibi isn't frightening, he's just big and cuddly." She followed gav outside.

Gav put his hand on the scared woman, stepping in front of her. She hadn't even noticed him opening the door and walking over. "Don't worry," he said, "Chibi is harmless." He walked up to the large badgermole and pet its snout. "See? He's friendly."

Just in case, Gav bent some nearby metal into a collar and chain for the Chibi so he could tie him up in the back yard. His landlord wouldn't like it, but it seemed the mole was here to stay.

Gav walked back to the woman. "Welcome. Would you like some water? I know when i get scared i get thirsty."

Eriyana watched Gav put a collar and chain on Chibi, feeling a bit bad. "The collar is a nice touch, that way he won't get in trouble for being around, but the chain is a bit much, he knows what we sound and smell like, I'm sure he'll come back if we let him roam around"

She rubbed chibi's nose and tried to undo the chain, not knowing metalbending. "Dang it, I'm still no good with metal..."

Gav chuckled. "The chain is just so he doesn't go sniffing every passerby. We've already had enough troubles with that."

He watched her try to metal bend, waving her arms uselessly. "Hey, I'll make you a deal; you teach me to crystal bend and i'll teach you to metal bend."

Eriyana thought about it for a little while, knowing it would be a very combat-useful, if complicated, art. 'Well... I guess it couldn't hurt. I have been pretty eager to find a good teacher. He seemed like a klutz at first, but I don't really have anything to lose.'

She turned back to him and pulled a glowstone chunk from her bag, waving her hands over it without much arm or leg movement, watching it crackle and shift into the shape of a bracelet. "You mean like that?" Eriyana smiled and looked at him. "Sure, you've got a deal."

Gav smiled. "You think that's cool?" He stomped his foot and stretched his arms out, his metal gloves forming large blades.

At the sight of this, the stranger from before feinted.

"Aw crud" Gav groaned, "lets bring her inside..."

[[ I don't think we can decide her characters reaction to that, we should probably wait for them to get back on, hopefully it won't take too long ]]

[[i'm just moving things along though... we can't stand in the yard forever. I've got kids to feed! (well, it's more like we need to get inside before they polish off the food... lol)]]

Zahara jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder and yelped. A man walked out in front of her, probably coming from the house behind her.
"Don't worry," He said, "Chibi is harmless."
She made a strange sound in the back of her throat as he went up and pet 'Chibi' on the snout then watched in amazement as he bent some nearby metal into a collar and chain. He walked back to her. "Welcome. Would you like some water? I know when i get scared i get thirsty."
She nodded then watched as another person exited the house and an impromptu bending lesson began. Zahara watched in amazement then shrieked and stumbled back when the mans gloves became metal blades. She tripped over a rock and felt the back of her head collide with something before it went black.
