Gossamer looked up at the girl from the earlier couple creating some strange lights with a part of her necklace. Her eyebrow raised at the older girl's strange change in voice and interesting choice of words. Was that part of her power? Gossamer narrowed her eyes at the strange necklace when the girl suddenly turned in her direction, waving and smiling at the three of them. Gossamer ducked her head but continued to observe the couple out of the corner of her eye. Her eyebrows shot up again at the flirtarious way that girl's skirt slipped up for Wes. Normally, Gossamer disliked flirts. However, at the moment, Harper was a savior. Seeing as Wes was quite distracted at the moment, Gossamer decided to take this as her chance to escape into the shadows. She scooted closer to the wall, away from Wes and Rii.
Unfortunately, Wes turned back to her. Gossamer twitched imperceptibly, ignoring the majority of what he was saying. ''...right. I'll grab you a replacement when I fill my order.'' Her head shot up, and she looked, alarmed, at the blonde man's retreating form. Her mouth opened and closed a few times soundlessly. In the end, Gossamer decided it would be better if she just shut her mouth, glaring at Wes from under the protection of her bangs.
Remembering the irritating situation she was in at the moment, Gossamer stole a glance at the other table. Harper's fingers were resting lightly on Daniel's wrist (Poor boy, Kuro commented wryly) and Rii was jumping around at their table, introducing herself again. As everyone was sufficiently distracted, Gossamer decided to sink into the shadows and wait for the others to leave.
And up came Rii.
''Wazzat?'' the hyperactive girl asked with a grin, pointing at Kuro. 'Oh crap, not that question,' Gossamer thought miserably as she racked her brain for an appropriate answer. She wasn't going to go into a detailed description for a complete stranger, especially one as perturbing as Rii. ''Umm...'' her eyes darted around the room, finally alighting upon a poster advertising Build-A-Bear.
Kuro, sensing where her eyes went, shuddered. Nonono oh pleaseee no... it moaned. Gossamer frantically flung Kuro in front of her face as a shield. ''This...this is my teddy bear! Umm...Fluffy!'' she squeaked. Woman! What are you doing to me?! Kuro shrieked hysterically. 'Be quiet! You're being a shield! Don't move!' Gossamer hissed in her mind. Trembling, she held the toy in front of her face and hid her face in her scarf. A bead of sweat rolled down her neck, staining the strap of her purple tank top. Her fishnet tights stuck to her skin uncomfortably; she avoided the urge to squirm.
Gossamer Suzumiya was officially miserable.

All within the next few minutes, about three people from Foresta came into the cafe and Daniel was left baffled at the flurry of new people. Goosebumps rose on his skin as Harper laid her fingers on his wrist, and it took him some extreme control not to let his arm burst out in flames. Instead, he coughed up some smoke briefly - and as he was introduced to the new people he nodded meekly - unsure on how to react just in general.
"Daniel Sen," he said quietly - not focusing on any one particular person at the moment - instead he let his eyes travel everywhere. His mind secretly working out a form of escape, something that would allow him to go off on his own - if needed be.

“Oh this?” Harper said looking at Rii. She slid her hand of Daniel’s and turned in her seat to examine the girl more closely. Everything about her was so small and so odd. Harper found herself wanting to touch the webbed fingers and the girls shapeless frame but kept from doing so, she wondered if Rii were related to Swamp Thing or just the result of some nasty experiments. Her mismatched outfit made her look adorable, the way a three year old looks when he dresses himself for the first time. Harper found herself liking Rii if only for ‘the daily dose of squee’ that came out of it.
“They are tea leaves. It’s a way to read others’ fortunes, but it is a difficult and imprecise means to an end.” She spun the plat in her hand and then ran her fingers through her necklace again. She liked the look of Wes more than she liked Daniel’s and she wondered how he could be utilized by her. Perhaps another plaything, oh how she did love the bashful types. She bit her lip when Gossamer hid behind the bear, suppressing laughed. “Hello… Fluffy is it? You are very pretty.”

Rii's grin widened as she looked from the tea leaves to the teddy bear, hardly knowing what to address first. She decided to poke the stuffed animal in the middle of what was probably its forehead. "FFFFFluffy!" She giggled, something that sounded a lot more evil than the intention behind it. Her only answer to the tea leaves was to wrinkle her tiny nose at the stuff and conclude, "...Mud."
Wes came back at this point, managing to hold the three drinks between his two hands. He hurriedly placed the mocha in front of Gossamer before surveying what was going on. "Rii, I've got your w- Hey! Where are you going?!"
And yes, indeed, she had begun to feel the effects of the sugar and caffeine of Gossamer's previous drink. "GRRRRRRAZZZZZZZAHHH!" Rii darted off, nearly turning over a table. She approached a man wearing a biker's leather vest. He had braids in his long, gray hair... and he was HUGE. Rii said something to him in excited tones, and he gave her a very confused look in return. Suddenly, she hugged him. Wes paled slightly as the man rose out of his seat.
Luckily, the man was laughing. He said something in return and gently aimed her back in their group's general direction with a push. Wes sank into a chair with some relief. He turned to the others and asked, "New to Foresta, then? I can't say I've seen any of you before." He didn't add that it might be because he spends about three months every Winter in 'hibernation'. He glanced at Gossamer and worry wrinkled his brow slightly. "Hey... you okay?" Was she... trembling?

Wide, brown eyes blinked as Gossamer's trembling form tried to take in everything that happened. As a largely unsociable person, she had slight trouble communicating with others, especially in large numbers. Being addressed by three people at once was nearly overwhelming.
Peeking over Kuro at Harper, Gossamer decided to speak to her first. Her nose barely rested on the top of Kuro's head and she discreetly pulled up her scarf. "Um, thank you, uh, it..." she hesitated, debating between sounding like a foolish child and an antisocial bitch. Choosing the former--at least she wouldn't make any enemies that way--she finished, "...it says thank you." Kuro sighed. You sound ridiculous, it informed her. 'Yes, I know, I'm trying to...uh, make friends,' she responded sullenly.
Rii's smile widened even further (if that was possible) as she leaned over and poked Kuro's forehead. ...Gossamer, what is this girl doing? it deadpanned. 'She's being...' she lost track of her thought as she watched Rii squeal "Fluffayyyy!" Somehow, the sound reminded Gossamer of the little girl from that new movie...what was it called? Despicable Me or something? She glanced down at Kuro. It appeared to glower back. 'Of course, you don't look like a fluffy unicorn at all,' she assured it hurriedly.
Gossamer watched with mild amusement as Rii bounded over to a large man and, after conversing shortly with him, attacked him with a hug. Wes appeared panicked for a brief moment and practically melted when the other man simply laughed. Gossamer ducked her head down when he looked at her, trying to ignore the fact that she'd been openly staring at her. "Hey...you okay?" he asked, apparently quite concerned. Gossamer started. "Um, yeah, I'm fine!" she squeaked, lifting Kuro imperceptibly higher in a futile attempt to cover her burning face.
So much for making new friends.

Harper watched them all with eyebrows arched so high, they were threatening to disappear in her massive head of hair. They were all completely batty, well except perhaps for Wes and even then he could be hiding something. She wasn’t so sure about Gossamer though she seemed highly subjected to manipulation. Harper couldn’t imagine living with this group of people twenty-four-seven; it seemed too chaotic like a never ending party…minus the disco music and the drinks.
She turned her attention to Wes and decided she would address him only, unless poor little Daniel had something else to say. “Oh, I’ve been around for a week or so. Poking about the grounds and getting a feel for the school. I hear there’s a tournament between the teachers or something, so that should be fun.” She quieted quickly when Wes turned to address Gossamer. That poor girl needed help and maybe Harper could do something about it. A little magic her, a touch of sorcery there... Rii on the other hand, well, she just needed to go to a kindergarten class and make crafts with safety scissors and glitter.
