(( F.Y.I Folks, Kit and I voided the first RP, because we thought having Serkanda and Taiden meet as kids would be, by far, more entertaining. Thus he infant meeting RP has been voided, and this one is where they first actually meet! ))
"Okay, I'm ready!" The impossibly perfect-looking boy had exclaimed excitedly, brushing his blonde hair from his beautiful blue eyes before letting go of his teenage companion, another Male with raven black hair. Sticking out his tongue in concentration, Kandajha stood on both legs shakily, before taking one sloooow step forward, leading with his right leg. "AH-HAH!" He cried happily. [colr=#3399cc]"I took a step!" He was grinning from ear to ear now, obviously very proud of this small accomplishment.
"Good, Andy! Now shift your weight and move your other leg forward, like I showed you on the way here!" The raven-haired teenager called back, clapping indulgently for his 'son'.
"Alright Da, this time for sure~!" Andy grinned to himself, before falling back into concentration, complete with his tongue sticking out from his lips. With his arms spread out in an attempt to hold his balance, the almost angellic being shifted his weight as he had been taught, and went to move his left lef forward. "Oh hey, I'm wa-AAAHALK~oof" Naturally, his voice distorted in a desperate cry as he lost what little balance he had. With his arms flailing in what could only be described as a windmill, the impossibly blue-eyed boy fell into the grass with a grunt. "...Or not." He grinned sheepishly.
Hopeless Came a rasping voice, one that belonged to the repulsive figure sitting neaby, one who may or may not have been watching the pair. It was hard to tell, for the figure had no eyes; her eyesockets just continuously bled, the blood vanishing near her chin, as it had when she was smaller. Her hair, much like the blood from her eyes, continuously moved as if she were underwater, and her corpse-like skin was covered in fresh, still bleeding cuts and rope burns around her neck, arms, and legs. She, yes, the figure was a she- was at the opposite end of the scale. While the boy was perfect, she was horrific. Right now, she was sneering wickedly in the general direction of the fallen boy.
"Now now Serkan...each to his own." The teenager attempted to appear civil in the face of such a disgusting creature...but even he couldn't hide his flinch at the low, feral growl his words were met with.
I never had a problem with walking. She hissed out, her eyeless sockets narrowing.
"Yeah, but you're smaller than I am!" Andy whined in his defence. "Its not my fault." He finally ended with, still on his stomach on the grass. He was used to floating, not walking, damnit! Serkan could only sneer at him as rasping, low and throatly breaths which may or may not have been laughter left her pale and chapped lips.

-For once in his young life Taiden was ecstatic. He had awakened that morning to the sound of a clanking glass. His dark green eyes so often fixed in a harsh stare had fluttered open to gawk at the ghostly figure that had been in front of him. A pair of scarlet eyes had stared at him, observed him, and had held some odd secret Taiden had been incapable of decoding. A low groan had floated from Taiden's mouth as he had sat himself up. Quietly, he'd rubbed his eyes and had turned himself to dangle his legs off of December's bed, which he had been given the honor of using when he had gotten too large for his makeshift crib.- "Decemberrrrr..." -He'd groaned, accented voice ringing and containing a bit of annoyance. His bare feet had touched the floor, bare legs straightening somewhat when he had stood. The young child had started swaying a tad, sleep still clinging to him.-
"Don't give me that!" -December had spoken eagerly. He had tossed the glass on the bed, along with the pencil he'd used to make the clattering noise.-
-Taiden had been about to protest and complain about being awaken when he was having such a nice sleep. His... Elder brother... However, had startled him when the albino had started digging about in his jacket pockets. It was at that moment Taiden had realized the man was fully dressed in his winter attire of a heavy jacket, scarf, gloves, and even a hat. Long pants were included, as well as boots. Everything about December screamed 'winter'. Regardless, the outfit had not been what had caught Taiden's full attention, even if it was not all that cold out and unusual to be so heavily dressed. It had been what was fished out of the man's pockets... Without a word December had lifted a pair of small black gloves from his pocket and had handed them to Taiden. Some tacit thank you was given when Taiden had looked up, followed with an unspoken arrangement--- Unspoken for a moment.-
"I finished sewing your outfit, as well. It's on the shelf. Hurry, get dressed. We're going out today." -December had chimed! And that had been the end of their morning conversation.
Taiden had been happy to hear December had finished his clothes! And even more happy to have recieved the gift of gloves to go with the attire! Quickly, the boy had gotten dressed; Quickly they had gotten out the door...-
---
-The walk had been mostly quiet. December had hung about behind Taiden as the boy had run ahead, jumping and babbling about how well the outfit had been made. December, although silent, was thrilled he'd done a good job sewing the thing up. A fine red dinner jacket and a ruffle collared white shirt, along with a pair of wine red pants. He'd also taken the liberty of buying a pair of black boots, which he had imagined would have gone well with the regal attire Taiden had begged him to make. -
"It's absolutly perfect! Look! It feels like lace, but it's not! What is it?" -Taiden had asked, laughing. It was an unusual feeling, one he had only felt when he had met his 'Aphrodite' long ago. Happiness... Despite it's unusualness it was delightful.-
-December had said nothing. He had only smiled and waved the comment off. Those crimsion eyes of his had watched as the young boy with dark brown hair had spun around and walked backwards.-
-Taiden had continued walking backwards for a while, feet stepping onto grass rather than the sidewalk he'd been walking on. He veered off the path and continued moving until clumsiness had managed to grab hold of him. He tripped over his two feet and had fallen flat on his rump, a short distance away from the crew of mixed strangers: A blonde child, a grotesque child, and a young man perhaps younger than December with raven black hair.- "Oof!" -Taiden had yelped, wincing as the pain flew up his lower half.-

Serkan's laughter had suddenly stiffled. This, naturally, brought worry to the golden boy and their older companion. Both pairs of blue eyes turned and locked, both giving eachother baffled looks. Seconds after Serkan's laughter had stifled, Kandajha and Tyr picked up the sound of laughter. Both turned their attention towards the new comers to the park...and then the other boy fell.
"First time on new legs too?" Andy asked almost conversationally, his voice cheery and innocent as it had always been, even though it was much deeper than his infant voice, naturally. With a happy grin, the boy pushed himself up on his hands, making a few awkward attempts to get his legs to obey him. By luck alone, he'd gotten them underneith him, just enough for him to sit up instead of lay flat on the ground. "But you can walk backwards! I can't even walk forwards yet!" He jested at his own expense, giggling. "Oh, and heya!" He added as an afterthought, forgetting that he hadn't actually said hello yet. Serkan, however, did not greet the boy, instead, she lapsed back into silence, focusing her attention on this newcomer. Already, a warning growl rumbled in her throat...newcomers were not welcome, in her opinion. In her experience, newcomers around Andy made for gleeful giggles, and that was a noise she didn't want to hear from her literal other half.
"Oi, are you alright?" Tyr asked, leaving the twins behind to go to the new boy's side, offering him a hand up.

-The voices had been distant for a moment, Taiden occupied with making his rear feel better. The fall had certainly been a painful one, but he would survive. It wasn't the first time he'd fallen down. A sigh had been sent foward, those dark green eyes fluttering towards the group he had neglected to fully note before. A moment was spared to observe them, take in appearences. Two were young, Taiden reckoned about his age range, and one was... Older. Two were fine looking, normal, and a third disgusting and vile. Taiden had made certain to notice the bloody figure, for he had a feeling he needed to watch her closely. She seemed threatening, dangerous. As for the other two, the older male with dark hair seemed unthreatening, and the--- Taiden's eyes fixed themselves on the fair haired youth. Shimmering blonde hair and simply darling features. Taiden was struck in the head by awe. An odd feeling had developed in his gut for some reason he did not understand. New legs, Walk backwards, Heya, Was he okay? The onslaught of comments towards him had caused him to think harder than he usualy did.- "They're... Not that new, and I'm fine." -He spoke, tone ringing. If there was one thing Taiden was gifted with it was his voice, for it rang and rang like a choir boy's. It was somewhat high in pitch, but not so high that one could assume he was incredibly young. His gaze had suddenly shifted from the gorgeous blonde to the raven haired man. A hand was held out towards him, and, on impulse, Taiden grew nervous. His eyes had widened, and he had distanced himself from the hand for fear it would touch him. Never mind the fact that he was fully clothed and the only way he would feel the horrid pain was if someone touched his face. The boy's lower lip quivered with memories of December's misunderstanding and the long amount of time the pale man had touched him with the one bare hand... The pain. And the girl with the cookies... The pain! He did not want to experience it again. The burning sensation! The feeling of his flesh slowly melting off of the bone, but not truely melting. If it were melting the pain would end and the skin would dissaper.. For Taiden the pain would not end, nor would the skin dissaper. The pain would simply continue, and continue, until the hand, or rather, skin of the one touching him moved away... His lip quivered more out of plain fear, eyes trembling as well. That hand, extended towards him, was simply... Frightening.-

Tyr stared at the boy as he recoiled, then drew his cobalt gaze to his own gloved hand. "...Afraid of being touched, huh? Alright, nevermind." Slowly, Tyr stood and took his hand back, folding his arms across his chest. "Are you sure you're alright, though?"
"Oh...then you just fell?" Andy questioned, cocking his head to the side in a rather canine fashion. He had never seen anyone just fall before, so he naturally assumed this boy had new legs like he did; but when that was proved to be false, it left the little angel starved for reason. "Its good that you're good, though!" He chirped. "...Hey...Why are you scared?" He asked suddenly, staring curiously at the other boy. He could feel something was wrong, but he couldn't place what.
However, Serkan could. She could see the pain of others, for she reveled in it; and this boy's fear was so crisp it was positively delicious. From her seat a distance from the group, her warning growl left, replaced by her utterly repulsive, but still knowing laugh.

-Taiden had calmed himself when the hand was retracted, that fear of being touched still echoing. It wasn't until the hand had been pulled away that he had realized it had been gloved, which meant it was of no threat. Clothed was okay to touch, bare was not. He had it set perfectly in his mind.- " Not scared." -He lied under his breath before he began to rise. Quietly he brushed off his new clothing, eyes flinting from the fair boy to the raven haired man. A forced smile was given, eyes leaning and squinting, seemingly glaring, but not purposly.- "I'm fine. It doesn't hurt." -It had, but he'd felt much worse. Because of that he knew he was fine. Once more his attention was given to the fair boy, a nod being given regarding the question of if 'he had only fallen' just before something else made him look. A growl and a laugh of some sort. Taiden's green eyes befell Serkan, staring with a sort of look intended to mean 'what're you laughing at?' It was harsh, and full of injured pride. Was she laughing at him?-
"Taiden! Can't say I never warned you about walking backwards... I told you just yesterday." -December's voice had boomed as he jogged towards the group, pausing to walk when he was closer. A sigh was given, the man reaching to grab hold of Taiden's shoulders, something he never could have done when the boy was a mere infant. A glance was given to the two other children before given to Tyr.- "Sorry... He didn't fall on anyone, did he? He's a little clumsy."
"I'm not clumsy!" -Taiden had exclaimed, somewhat insulted. He'd moved himself away, giving December that look he often gave when he pride had been injured. Without another word to the man he'd turned his focus back to Serkan and Andy, taking them both into mind. Ah, the blonde was so innocent, so gorgeous! He felt something strange in his gut still. Some desire... A step was taken foward, mouth open to say something. What was to be said was lost, replaced by an introduction.- "I'm Taiden. You are?" -He spoke soley towards Andy, completly dismissing Serkan.-

"Its okay to be scared. I'm afraid of a lot of things." Tyr admitted. Then, with a pointed look at Serkan, he turned back to the boy. "If you don't like being touched, don't let her touch you. Its like ice death." The teenager shuddered, knowing he had to extend that warning to anyone he and the twins met. Ever. As the albino came running towards them, Tyr couldn't help but stare. He'd never seen an albino before! Then again, there were still things unknown to him, on this land called Gaia. Clearing his throat, he directed his eyes elsewhere, shaking his head. "No...My boy had already fallen on his own, and the girl had been seated the whole time. He just fell, thats all."
"Well, thats good!" Andy gave a sigh of relief as Taiden once more exclaimed that he was okay. "I'm glad it doesn't hurt." The kid gave one of his winning smiles, accompanied by a thumbs up, just like he saw on TV. When she was looked at, Serkan's dry lips curled into a sick, by cocky sneer. 'You, of course, who else would I be laughing at?' was all her sneer and overall manner could seem to say at the moment. Still, she said nothing. "An' I'm Kandajha." He stated cheerfully, his full, difficult name rolling off his tongue as if it weren't an issue. He hadn't noticed the silent exchange between his twin and his new friend. "But People call me Andy for short, 'cause Kandajha is too long. You can give me another nickname, if you want!" It was an invite extended to everyone, though aside from Serkan, everyone addressed him as Andy.
"Taiden." He said to himself, making sure he recalled that name. After a moment, he looked confused. "Sounds different somehow..." He murmured to himself, before repeating his friend's name over and over and over, trying to get it to sound like the way Taiden had actually said it. When he couldn't, he just shrugged to himself. "Accent, Maybe. M'kay. Hallo, Taiden." He tried again, with another happy grin. "I'd get up, but I'd just fall back over...'cause I can't walk right now." He admitted, so he wouldn't seem rude.
"...An' thats Serkan, she's my twin." Andy was being helpful, after realizing his sister didn't bother to introduce herself. Naturally, he gave her a curious look, but said nothing further about it...in english, anyway. He sang out a word or two in the elusive language of twinspeak. In response, the helion said a single word in that same unknown language, then went right back into silence. She didn't mind being dismissed, because from where she was, she could sit and watch the idiots that had gathered make a complete fool of themselves. "...Anyway. What brings Taiden to the park?" He continued conversationally, playing with his new feet.

-Taiden had not responded to Tyr's comment. It wasn't alright to be afraid! Being afraid... He didn't like being afraid. Taiden did not like being weak, and the weak were afraid. He refused to be either. He refused!
Not a sound was made for a moment, the conversation between Tyr and December picking up when a reason was given for the two children on the ground. He chose to ignore the adults, focus moving to the two children. That one handsome boy was just darling! He could not deny he thought that.
A sigh was emitted, Taiden shuffling his foot a little. His name always sounded diffrent when someone other than he or December said it. Thus, he'd always tried to say it slowly, in some hope someone would pick up the ring to it. A false smile was given, although it was not entirly fake.- "Kandajha?" -He asked, saying the name with great difficulty. Even when he got it out, he felt he had butchered it.- "Andy, huh?" -His smile grew somewhat, eyes narrowing out of habit. He was always most relaxed with his eyes narrowed.- "You can't walk?" -He inquired, blinking. His attention was shifted to the disgusting one of the two. The bloody one that Taiden felt he needed to be concerned about. Serkan... A face was made towards her before Taiden turned back to Andy.- "December said we were going out today. He didn't say where. We were passing by and I guess my feet wanted to take a detour." -He shrugged his shoulder slightly.- "Glad they did, though! I havn't met anyone in a while." -Correction: He had not met anyone that had caught his intrest since his Aphrodite, Dante.- "But you.. You said you couldn't walk?"
"Oh, good." -December had sighed, giving Taiden a sort of look. That boy... Those scarlet eyes of his had flinted to Tyr. The directing of eyes elsewhere had not been unusual. December had seen it before with him about. It was a little queer, his snowy skin and hair, and the way the skin clung to the bones. He'd been born with oddness. Thin skin, and pure white coloration. Of course, he had never classified such things as odd before in his life. He'd always... Assumed it was perfectly normal, that he was perfectly normal. Excluding the one hunky arm that was hidden by his large coat and then his gloves. Ah, he was so thankful the clothing hid the robotic limb from view! He was certain it would have made him look stranger.- "Was... Afraid he might have hit someone." -December shook his head to himself, rubbing his neck afterwards. Suddenly, out of habit, his hand was extended.- "S..Sorry, I didn't introduce myself... I'm December." -December. Such a funny name, exactly like the month!-

Andy nodded in response to Taiden's repeat of his name. Like Taiden, Andy felt nobody but he or his twin could properly pronounce his name...not that he minded, he recognized that his true name was long and difficult. "Nope!" The boy chirped out, though he never expanded on why he couldn't walk...why would he, he wasn't asked to! "Do feet always take detours on you?" He inquired, staring wide-eyed and curiously at Taiden, then down at his oen feet, which were folded before him.
Serkan sneered at Taiden when he looked at her, uttering a long, dark hiss that was more of a husky breath than anything. She didn't want to get up just yet...she wanted to watch and observe for a little longer. Then she'd move. Oh would there be fun once that happened. Ignoring the two for a moment, she looked down at the grass around her, which had all died and withered into a disgusting black pit, thanks to her touch.
"No, I can't...Serkan can, but I can't yet..." Andy informed the boy almost sadly. "I've never had legs or feet before, I can't balance myself properly to walk." With that he shrugged. "But I'll get it! That's why we came to the park...so it wouldn't hurt as badly if I fell." He seemed rather pleased about that, for one reason or another. Also seeming to feel he should try again, he leaned forward and planted his hands on the ground before him, untangling his legs and getting them to move fairly straight, not really caring about how silly he looked. Sticking out his tongue in concentration, the boy slowly let go of the ground and started to pull himself into a fully standing position. He looked more like a fawn taking its first steps than a human boy! Once standing to his full height, it was clear to see how tall he really was...he was a good two and a half inches taller than the average child!
Holding his gloved hands out to give himself added balance, he took small, short steps forward...much like a toddler does when they're trying to walk for the first time! He looked proud of himself...but he dared not say anything, for he might jinx himself.
"If he did, I'd only really worry about him hitting the girl..." Tyr visibly shuddered at that...running into Serkan was something of a death wish, Taiden was lucky he never touched her, considering how terrified of touch he seemed to be. "Her twin, the boy, is safe and pleasant...but not her." Blinking, the teenager looked down at the extended hand...and slowly, he extended his own, shaking the other man's hand firmly, but gently. "Tyr. Nice to meet you, December!" December was a strange name...but at the same time, his own name was pronounced like 'tear', as in the salty water that is cried out. His parents must have had a sick sense of humor over that one. So considering his own name sounded strange, he couldn't really judge December's.
