Gwendel's smile widened again, "Well alright," he said after the Graecian crossbreed had finished, "It sounds good to me."<span style="font-style: italic">Though I'll be keeping away from the fire,</span>he added in his mind. The blue-haired Neko Ikuto had been quiet until now, so the Graecian Neko wasn't sure what he was thinking, but when the Graecian man turned to walk toward the tree the Kai'Lan Neko directed them to, he followed.<span style="font-style: italic">Apparently he isn't against the idea of getting off this planet,</span>Gwendel thought, amused. He, of course, followed as well. Though after the fire had been made he stayed a bit back. Heat made him uncomfortable, simple as that.<br/><br/>Gwendel had done a bit of research before he'd been thrown on this rock;  he was curious how he was different from purebred Elisions or Graecians, besides the obvious. While he was at it he found out some interesting statistics. Technically, Aquarians were the only "cold-blooded" known species, and all the others were warm-blooded. However, while the vast majority of known species had a normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, purebred Graecians had normal body temperature of 75 degrees. Part of why they couldn't stand high temperatures was because their blood would start boiling at a temperature more than twenty degrees cooler than anyone else. For Graecian crossbreeds, they were somewhere in between: around 85 degrees. To be honest though, he couldn't dig up very much when it came to Sand People-- er... Seharians. They seemed to be the most secretive race-- besides the Monsters. The Kai'Lan kept some secrets too, but those were more cultural things, and he hadn't been interested in researching culture at the time.<br/><br/>-------------------------<br/><br/>Nakutaro followed the others toward the tree the Neko girl had selected. He waited patiently until the fire had been made and edged his way closer to it. Much unlike a Graecian, Nakutaro preferred to be as warm as possible, coming as close to the flames as he could without being burned... or perhaps turned to glass. He wasn't really sure what might happen, but he was playing it safe. Besides, there was less water in the air near fire. Humidity was almost as bad for him as water was, so fire was probably his favorite element besides earth. Then again, it probably helped that, as a crossbreed, he could see the fire with his eyes. Had he been a purebred Seharian the fire would have been invisible to him. As well as Seharians could detect vibrations through touch, they weren't very good at detecting temperatures, especially with metaphysical things. It took him a surprising amount of time to notice any sort of temperature change, but he waited patiently by the fire until he began to notice the warmth.<br/><br/>--------------------------<br/><br/>"So then," Gwendel said, coming close enough to the gathering (and the fire) that conversing was reasonable, "Shall we start with names?" He gave a smile, "My name is Gwendel Nocturne, and I think you can all see what I am."<br/><br/>Ikuto was positioned at a reasonable distance from the fire, enjoying the heat, but not getting quite as close as the sand boy. He let out a sigh-like breath; he'd already introduced himself once today, might as well do it again. "My name's Ikuto Kenshi," he said. "I'm a half-human Neko." He added the last part because his other half wasn't near as easy to identify as Gwendel's, or some of these others.<br/><br/>Nakutaro looked up when he realized people were introducing themselves. "My name is Nakutaro Kitara." He didn't know why people seemed to be giving their ancestry as well, but he figured he may as well join in. "I'm a Seharian-Human." Even as he spoke, a few stragglers were gathering near their fire, apparently curious what was going on.
