Bringing in Spring with a worthy revel
[With the changing of seasons, many Nexus visitors are very happy to see the snow melt away and life returning to their beloved home. Spring is here!
It appears overnight: a large pantheon in the center of the Nexus forum, and once can only guess how such a great building was erected without anyone noticing. Atop the Patheon are two golden thrones, adorned with gemstones of great value. No one seems to be sitting there, but they seem to hold a great deal of importance to the cloaked humans who guard the Pantheon entrance.
The land in front of the Pantheon is paved with smooth, old stones in the shape of a large circle. Lush flowers and grass grown along the outskirts of the cropping, full of beautiful and exotic plants. Truly the host of this revel wants even nature to bend before their whim.
On the left and right sides of the sides of the circle are two long marble tables, where different food and drink await those who enter. Freshly cooked meat. Ripe fruits and unsullied wine. Whatever your heart desires, be it simple or sweet, you will be hard pressed to not find it on one of the tables. Near the tables is also a large group of tents, adorned with many plush chairs and sofas for those who like to relax while indulging.
The center of the circle has a large bonfire pit, carved of fine stone, lit with a brilliant (almost unearthly) red fire. Comforting to those seeking warmth or invigorating to the souls of the weary: it carries an important symbol for the revel: let your soul burn as hot as the flames inside. Which, to the satyr, it means that everyone present should be partying and indulging with one another. There seems to be plenty of space for dancing and socializing alike, whatever your preference may be.
The entrance into this festivity is monitored by a group of half-human, half-goat satyr. They don’t seem to be picky about who gets let in, assuming you’re not here to ruin the fun, but it would be wise to check it with them first. This is a masquerade-style party, so all of the guests need masks.
But there can’t be anything possible wrong with such a wonderful party, right? Perhaps things are not all as they seem….]

Angel's smile is hidden by the mask but her voice gives her emotions away all the same. As does her excited fluttering around Jake in a circle once before she settles closer to eye level for him in a graceful nearly floating hover.
"I have found companionship with my mistress and her Ghost. Blaze has started training me to assist her in her missions and I must confess it feels very satisfying to do what I was born to do once more." Smiting evil and darkness from the world. Every world. Healing the wounded. Angel likes peace well enough but she was born into a world of violence and constant struggle for survival.
"I am useful once more and it makes me feel so happy."

His head moves to follow her in her loop around him, ears swiveling to track her movement on instinct, pointing attentively when she halts in front of him. Convenient as hell that she can sit pretty at eye level, ain't it? He's not gonna be complaining.
And sure, he may not know all the nuances and nitty-gritty about what she is and what she's good at, but the sentiment's something he feels he can at least partly relate to. Getting his wheels on the ground on Pandora after so long on the sidelines felt like a million bucks, and hell, that was before he ever synced with his avatar. "Hey, that's awesome. She got you running support, or in the field?"
no subject
In time Angel knows she will be back on the front lines with Blaze. She has proven herself to the Exo and knows she has her mistress' trust.
"Is your colony prepared to care for so many new mouths? Are there facilities in place to assist with the child care?"
no subject
Both are good, in his experience. Small strike teams can get a hell of a lot more done than an army, but sometimes it's better to have more backup than just one other soldier. Warrior. Whatever.
"Oh yeah, we're pretty much set up," Jake answers, turning his thoughts momentarily back to the clan. "It's like that old saying about a whole village raising a kid; everyone watches out for the little dudes and there's teachers who keep 'em busy when Mom and Dad are out hunting or whatever. Eywa provides, too; the lower levels of the new Hometree are a perfect kinda jungle gym for kids just figuring out how to climb without tripping over their own tails. No shortage of stuff to eat in the forest, either."
no subject
Even with her subtle shifts in expression and tone of voice Angel can't keep but fluttering her wings in her excitement. It makes her bob rather than keep the same height across form Jake but she settles down quickly enough.
"What is Eywa? Is it your god?"
no subject
Her excited fluttering gets a chuckle out of him, and his smile becomes fond and respectful - though not quite reverent - one when she asks about Eywa. "Yeah, She's the goddess of Pandora. Everything's connected to Her. Plants, animals, even the rocks. I dunno much about the science but the eggheads were going gaga over the energy network from day one, and I've seen and done enough to know She's definitely there. Wouldn't be in this body for good if not for Her."
