Welcome to Gaia! ::

((The title is totally not a joke based off my work. Nope, totally not. *hides under a rock*))

Chaco was out of the house again, this time with no particular mission. Just to, well, get out. He'd been berated by Illesi three times this day alone, the other Sin'aeis being in a rather bad mood for whatever reason. Aylee was chalking it up to male PMS, and Chaco didn't even want to TOUCH that subject.

So out of the house he went. To the park. Parks were fun, right? Uh, or that's what he'd heard. But now that he was there, well, Chaco couldn't actually find anything to do! He saw a few people having picnics, and there was the playground, but a) he didn't bring a lunch, and b) he was no longer a kid. That would just be... awkward.

Instead, he decided to just... walk. It was a big park, and maybe he'd finally find something to do if he just walked.

When two new people emerged from some trees, Chaco wasn't so surprised by the rat (of which he'd seen a few around the mansion at times when people left food lying around), but by the young boy. And his protector. It had been a while since Chaco had met any new protectors, but that was more his own fault.

His wings opening slightly by reflex, Chaco smiled. "I understand." His eyes fell on Silas again, "This child is the Cherry Cordial, correct? What is his name?"

Of course, he had no idea that Jesse knew nothing about the Sin'aeis whatsoever, and that his words would probably be seen as completely strange and crazy. Which Chaco wasn't, but well, that's the price one pays for slacking off.

It was then that Chaco got a good glance at the man's face, and was more than a little surprised to see the insane amount of scars on it. How much must that have hurt? Probably best not to stare.

Turning his attention to the child, Chaco smiled, "Silas, huh? That's a good name for a fellow chocolate Sin'aeis."

But the protector still seemed confused, and the milk chocolate Sin'aeis couldn't help but wonder if he should take better care with choosing protectors from now on. But the phone book method had worked pretty well in the past! But probably best to address the issues, "Cherry Cordial, it's a... a type of chocolate treat. Sort of. Usually pretty expensive." He looked down at Sy, "He happens to be created around this element. I though this was explained in the note, however...?"

It was clear that the man though Chaco insane. Who wouldn't think so, when they start spouting such randomness? Though to be honest, Chaco was completely oblivious to Jesse's thoughts. He never HAD been too good at spotting these things, and Illesi would probably laugh at him for it, if Chaco ever noticed and cared to share.

"...Ah. Well, uhm. Actually, there SHOULD have been a note. I'm sure I typed on up. Uhm." Yeah, crazy just about sums up THIS conversation.

Chaco scratched his head a bit, "Well, uhm... Kinda. Er. Maybe? I... don't actually seem to remember the name his protector was supposed to have?" It had been far too long. It really would be better if he just started meeting protectors again at the beginning, as opposed to explaining it in notes. That way things like this wouldn't happen.

But it had, and now Chaco had to deal with the consequences. "I'm SURE there was a note... Uhm. Maybe it blew away, or something?"

"Uh." Yes, that was his response. Chaco is a talented speaker, now isn't he? To be honest, he didn't know where to begin. He was used to dealing with this topic when the Sin'aeis were babies, not when they were toddlers.

Finally, he found a starting point, "Well, uhm. Technically, we're... Uhm, not from this dimension. We're not human. Uhm. Our species is called the Sin'eais, and our souls are tied to food, sort of." Uhm. This probably made no sense whatsoever to the poor man.

Chaco looked at the man, head tilted to the side. Well, sure, perhaps somewhere weirder things had happened, though a lot of protectors didn't seem to think so.

"Uhm. Oh. I think I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chaco, Chaco Shiroko." Wow, way to forget something important, Chaco!

It was nice to finally know a name, even if the man did kind of freak Chaco out. Too many scars. But, well, Jesse WAS a protector, so there wasn't much Chaco could do about it. Nodding at the name, Chaco reached out and shook the man's hand. "Nice to meet you as well."

"If you didn't know anything about the Sin'aeis, then I figure you must have never been to the estate, then?" Jesse probably would have learned at least about Chaco had he been. "If you'd like, I can show you where it is. It's my mother's house, but it's also the place Sin'aeis children go to find each other or meet, or contact me."
