Welcome to Gaia! ::

Olly wandered through the racks of clothing boredly. Sometimes he enjoyed trips to the mall, and sometimes he didn't...and now was one of the latter times. It wasn't that Oliver disliked clothes shopping, but if it became too drawn out it simply became dull. He tried to avoid group trips when he could. He'd got all the things he liked, and now they were waiting on Chance and Kami to finish.

He sighed, and wandered away a ways, past a rack of jeans and into an area that held dresses and other frilly things. How drab...it was too bad he couldn't take Trace into the mall, then maybe things would be a little more interesting. He sighed, and continued his disinterested exploration, waiting for Kami to call for him to come so they could leave. He didn't expect it to be any time soon.

The camel couldn't help but give a yelp of surprise, definitely not used to being approached in such a way in public. And what a loud, spontaneous way it was. He looked at the girl through wide eyes, almost overwhelmed by the consecutive questions. He was mostly captivated by her most unusual appearance more than anything.

"Err, h-hello!" he greeted, disengaging himself as politely as he could manage after the little jellyfish girl had grabbed onto him. "I am another D-corp." he said with an amiable smile, watching her circle, blushing a little bit beneath his tan fur. "Aaah...that would be my hump. I'm a camel." he explained, and chuckled a little. "What are you, if I may ask? My name is Oliver, by the way." he said, giving a late introduction.

He blinked, and looked up at the other voice, a little surprised again. Fancy meeting two other children here. It was a rather pleasant surprise, as he hadn't seen any outside school lately at all.

Oliver chuckled weakly at the girl's excited state, a little amused as she introduced herself and her sister. "It's a pleasure to meet you both. A jellyfish...very interesting. I've never met kids of oceanic species before." he said, reaching out to touch Medusa's shoulder inquisitively.

The camel squeaked, and jumped at the pinch, startled again, though he only ended up laughing it off. "A lobster, huh? I could hardly tell." he said, teasing lightly before returning his attention to Medusa, who was clapping by then.

"Oh, yes! I do have a dragon. His name's Trace, but he's not with us now, though. He caused a little trouble when we brought him into a store once so my mom's been a little hesitant to take him into stores lately." Olly said, rubbing the back of his neck. Sometimes Trace was just too curious for his own good.

Oliver couldn't help but give a proud little smile. Trace was such a good friend, even if he did get into trouble sometimes. "He's a brass dragon, and thanks! Maybe you could come over and meet him sometime." He offered, rather liking the jellyfish girl. At least she was friendly.

He glanced over as Medusa questioned her sister, and nodded a little at her answer. "Yeah, I didn't name Trace until the day he came, but we kind of picked the name together. Do you know what kind of dragon they assigned you?" he asked, posing the question to both.

He was sure it would probably be water type dragons, but he didn't have much specific knowledge outside Trace's species, which he had focused on ever since the dragon had arrived to live with him.

"Oh, cool! I've never seen a bronze dragon before...or any other kind, come to think of it. Besides Trace" he said, scratching his head thoughtfully. "We should get together and let them meet sometime!" he said, smiling at the idea. "When you get it, anyway."

"I got a name book and sort of let him choose what sounded good. I think it was a good choice." he said with a sage nod. He turned to look at Azoc, and smiled a little. "And what kind of dragon is that?" he asked, curious, and unaware of who her brother was, much less what sort of dragon he had.

"Oooh! Those are pretty." Oliver said with a smile. He'd seen pictures of those in his dragon book.

He looked back to Medusa and smiled. "I'm sure it will be. When you're old enough they take you to see it, but then you have to wait till it hatches...that was the hardest part in my opinion." he said.

"Aaw, no worries. Once you see the egg and meet the dragon the wait will be more than worth it." he said with a little smile, trying to cheer her up. He reached over and patted her shoulder gently, looking back to the lobster girl again.

"Yeah, I think they're pretty interesting....they're long." he said, and chuckled, though the laugh was cut short when he heard someone calling his name. He replied with a half-hearted reply, saying he would only be a moment.

"Oh, shoot. I guess everyone's ready to leave by now." he said, feeling a bit sad to have to leave his new acquaintances so soon. "It was nice to meet you both...maybe we could meet up again, sometime." he offered politely to both of the girls.
