Welcome to Gaia! ::

It wasn't until Hari had discovered Fenrir playing with his expensive art supplies drawing on the door to her room that it had really dawned upon the pair that the girl had nothing to entertain herself with that was hers. She had a good imagination but that only got one so far when they weren't allowed to jump on the couch or use the dining table as a catwalk to model their new clothing. Hari had told Baldric in no simple terms that they needed to get her things of her own, toys and the like that would be useful for occupying her time and keeping her out of things that didn't belong to her.

As luck would have it the shope they owned was located in a mall so it was easy enough for one of them to take her down to the toy store that was a floor up from where they were located. A simple game of rock, paper, scissors later had Hari standing in what he would believe to be some level of Hell. There were a bunch of screaming, dirty children running around the place. It was loud, there had to be countless germs, and all of the parents looked as if they had been run ragged, "How horrifying..." He breathed. Was this how he and Baldric were going to end up looking in time?

He looked over to Fenrir who had her large ears turned forward and her long tail swishing in an excited sort of way. There were so many fun, brightly colored things here to be had! She gave a happy, squealing sound and looked up at her Dad, "So what can I get?" She asked, eyes wide.

"Hrm... I don't know. I suppose a hundred dollars worth of stuff should tide you over for a while right?" He had no idea being he'd never been around kids aside from those whos ears he'd pierced.

"Sure!" Given she had no concept of money Fenrir believed that must be a good thing if thought it was. As if given the go ahead she bolted into the store and Hari had to run to keep up doing his best not to be touched by anyone else in the store.

Today would be her first time in a toy store. So far Jayoku had taken Tyra to many craft stores, the girl having found them too interesting to just let go. She certianly was creative she hoped to find an assortment of kid jewerly making kits as well crayola markers and paper to tide her over. Not that she minded her using her own craft making supplies...it was just..not safe for her to be using pliers and wire cutters at her age.

They entered the toy store Tyra found herself looking everywhere at once. so many interesting things! It didn't take her long to home in on...Fenrir. One would think a grass type wouldn't have such an excellent sense of sight or smell...but like a homing beacon she found Hari, and Fenrir in amoungst one of the isles.

With a excited sounding glee she went to rush forawrd only to have the cuff of her collar firmly taken ahold of to hold her back. she looked up to her mother who smiled and shook her head. They were in a toy store, so she needed to behave. Tyra pouted but only for a moment, her leaf then wiggling she she spotted another kid. HOW INTERESTING. She waved to Fenrir and Hari first, looking more like she was drowning than waving. Then she waved to the other kid, who's name she intended to find out.

Marshall smiled, happily waving to the strange group that entered the toy store, before realizing his son was still too fascinated with the expensive water gun to notice. Marshall tapped the small mouse boy on the shoulder with a slight chuckle, pointing at the two small girls who seemed interested in him.

Kale stared wide-eyed at the unfamiliar species known as girl. One was wearing some sort of dress with fishes and another girl with a leaf sticking out of her head. In a manner that could only be described as 'cute', Kale waved weakly at the two unknown girls.

Hari followed after his daughter after a moment, watching as she waved to the new child, a boy from the look of him. Haha, Baldric was going to have a fit when he told him that she was already waving at strange boys he thought to himself idly then waved at Jayoku, "Hello." He greeted her, glad to see another adult among the mass of children. It gave one hope.

Fenrir was a bit curious, watching as the boy waved back. It made her smile, "Aww. He's cute! And look he has a big, beach ball with him." She said then started to drift towards him... when Tyra suddenly went rushing forward, shouting a greeting before pouncing on the boy. It had Fenrir in giggles instantly. Tyra was quite enthusiastic in her meetings wasn't she?

"Alright but I expect just as good a one since I am your bestest friend." She told Tyra, grinning a bit.

Tyra stumebeled as Kale suddenly was beyond her reach. She skidded to a halt just before Kale's father looking a bit confused. Why would he run away from her? She wasn't that scary. Her leaf wilted a bit as her feelings were hurt buy his act of removing himself from her hug. But she perked up again instantly as he told her his name.

"Hi Kale! I am Tyra!" she said wiggling her fingers at him and then using her vines to wave at him too. "I am a grass type. see look at my vines!" she continued happily. She then paused, right! turning she then rushed to Fenrir and gave her the extra big hug glomp she promised the girl.

"This is the princess!" she continued happily as she snuggeled into Fenrir's soft collar fur.

Jayoku shook her head laughing softly at Kales reaction. Poor thing. Having a lanky green thing charging at you.

"H-Hello..." Kale said, uncharacteristically shy around the two girls. It was understandable, really, as he had never actually had any communications with the opposite gender. Even at a young age, he was well aware that they were different. Despite the fact one of them was Royalty and one was...scary, they both seemed nice enough.

Marshall looked over at the respected parents of the two girls: One stressed out looking woman, she was probably the hyperactive's one mother, and a man who didn't seem to want to be there. Marshall waved at them, a little less enthusiastic than any of their children.

"Your looking for art stuff too?" Fenrir asked, her chocolate colored eyes going rather wide when she heard her friends words. Surely then Tyra would know where to find the markers she was wanting to get, it would mean that she would have some of her own to use whenever she wanted. Hari would be happy too she was sure.

"I was thinking on markers, I don't want to steal Dad's again." She said, grinning a bit. She turned to her gaze to Kale, "Do you like to color?" She asked of him, curiously. Anyone who liked coloring and colors had to be a good person if you asked the Eevee.

Hari felt a strange sense of happiness fill him, he would write if off as being glad she wasn't going to get into his expensive art supplies again instead of fatherly sorts of feelings. He gave a nod of greeting to Kale's father, "Hari." He said, seeing Jayoku had given her name if he didn't he would appear rude, "My friend and I run the tattoo and piercing parlor in the mall."

Tyra nodded her head to Fenrir, there was nothing better than a set of crayons or thread and some beads to make jewelry! but her attention refocused on Kale. He was speaking more! That was a good sign, that meant they were all going to be friends now.

Her large red eyes looked to where Kale was pointing. OH it was a gun. But as he explained it...it shot water? Not bullets? Well ...water wasn't bad, she rather liked it so it sounded fun to her!

"Why not fill that with paint? then you could color AND have a water fight! Though it would be more of a paint fight I suppose..." she mused for a bit the idea of being soaked in the color yellow made her laugh.

Jayoku smiled, though she had to look at her daughter who was still hugging Fenrir. Oh dear. A paint fight? paint was too expensive to do that...she would have to mention that to her later.

"Hun ...that wouldn't be a good idea. I mean paint is hard to wash off...." unless it was water soluable...but she wouldn't go into that. "And poor Fenrir would have a terrible time getting itout of her fur. you wouldn't want her to be stained blue or pink would you?" she said with a smile.

Tyra looked to her mother and then to Fenrir. "well..no..but I think purple would look nice on her." she commented.
