Alright, time for round two. Jacob was unsure if he could call the trip to the pet store a success but ...he guessed nobody got seriously hurt so that was something at least. Still in his harness Ubara was too excited to talk more than gibberish.
The troll child needed socialization Jacob had decided, though...Ubara didn't seem to really want to talk to other children his age...or people in general. He liked the snakes...and reptiles...
He hoped...well prayed really that this petting zoo would have more than just fluffy animals. Some form of reptile..would be nice. Mostly cause that was what Ubara liked the most. Well snakes mostly...but he did find the other reptiles interesting.
"Snake?" The little one asked as they finally paid to enter the petting zoo and were now able to walk around freely.
Jacob looked unsure.
"Um...I think so...be patient." he instructed to the little one and then prayed there was some form of reptile display.

Gabriel was still learning about Kalamo and didn't really understand him , he didn't exhale , he only drank milk. His food source was flowers, fruits , and honey. He can flout and sort of fly. He makes little gold dust paths whatever ever he went, of course if you touch the gold it dissolves. So what would Gabriel do for bonding time?
It took him awhile but he decided to take him to a petting zoo far west Aekea. They had a great "bee sanctuary" where they taught people about harvesting bees, and how to keep the bee population up , seemed like a great place to take Kalamo.
He was still very little and couldn't walk on his own legs, now flouting wasn't a problem. When Gabriel pulled his car up , he knew it would be a task to find the bee sanctuary since it wasn't mapped since it was kind of a safe house. Thankfully his good friend Lu told him about it.
As he got Kalamo into his baby leash he flouted up in the air , it looked as if Gabriel was carrying a baby balloon. Gabriel never liked the leashes before but in Kalamos case it was a must have. He giggled and smirked in air , so he loved it. Gabriel knew babies liked to feel safe and constricted so it wasn't a bad thing.
He started to walk around hoping he would find the sanctuary on his own, but he soon came to a relation that he couldn’t and went to look for some help. Gabriel looked around but most of the workers were busy so he didn't want to interrupt anyone. Gabriel was stopped by many women most in their thirties who wanted a picture with the baby and him. Lots of toddlers giggled and pointed at Kalamo and this made him laugh and move around allot. He was born a star.
It didn’t take long for Kalamo to see all the animals , and he did have a good view. He was still too young to realize he could pet them, even though kids all around where petting the animals. Gabriel looked up at the baby “do you want to pet some of the animals? Well we are going to need a day pass” he said with joy , since he too wanted to pet the animals. He went back to the customer counter and bought one day pass for himself and one free pass for Kalamo.
He went over to the domesticated reptile area , most of them have been defanged and clawed so Gabriel didn’t worry.

Jacob had been trying to untangle himself from the leash he had on Ubara. The little troll child had managed to wrap himself around him a couple of times trying to snap at smaller children near him as well anything that tried to touch him.
"Ubara!" came his exasperated voice, he didn't want to pick him up, cause he knew the little one would flail and kick and probably bite if he got into range but this was getting ridiculous.
"Stop this! Or we will turn around and you won't get to see the snakes." He threatened though his tone didn't hold much convection but it seemed to do the trick.
Still growling Ubara sat down on the ground and impatiently waited for his caretaker to untangle himself. Suddenly...he saw something that caught his eyes. Gold dust...and a floating baby. Eye's wide he moved over to where the parent who was holding onto the child was and then proceeded to try and climb the adult so he could get a better look at the kid.
Giving a sigh once untangled he suddenly felt the leash grow taunt he looked over and found Ubara trying to climb another human being. Appalled he promptly moved over and removed his kid from Gabriel's leg.
"I am really sorry." He started to apologize but the toddler in his hands was now flailing reaching out towards Kalamo in a gimmie fashion.

Gabriel turned to look at the giraffe in the distance when he felt a tug at his shorts , he looked up at Kalamo "sto......?" he looked down in confusion. He saw little blueish gray gray pointed ears and a vary hairless head clingy to his leg , then trying to climb up. Kalamo didn't notice since he was flouting around.
Gabriel didn't notice but Kalamo was communicating with a real honey bee. The bee hovered the best it could to stay in one place , as Kalamo circled around it. Once he was done the bee did the same , it took a longer time. It seemed as if the honey bee was in shock that it ran into something like Kalamo.
Once the child was removed from Gabriel's leg , Gabriel turned around to face the parent. " noo worries , believe it or not this happens often. Huh Kala.....mo?" . Gabriel gave off a funny look. " What you doing buddy"? he asked trying to figure out why he was making funny sounds and moving around in an odd way.
Kalamo payed no attention to his Father or the other two , he was having fun playing with the bee.

Ubara didn't want to be held...he wanted to look at that floating thing! Growling he pounding his little fists into Jacob's holding arms and hands.
"Want see!" He glowered and thrashed. He didn't seem to realize that Kalamo wasn't paying him any attention at all. He didn't really care...he wanted to see him better!
Jacob winced as he was pounded upon but he knew better than to put Ubara back down. He still looked apologetic as Ubara struggled in his arms,
"Haha...well I am still sorry. " He started again and he looked at the other rather bizzare creature that was Kalamo. Now...Ubarajin was...what one could call a weird child. Blue gray skin, tusks...only three fingers and two twos on each hand and foot and looong pointed ears...not to mention the rather tribal looking tattoo's marking all over his body. He assumed they were tattoo's....he couldn't quite believe that it could be birth marks...
But Kalamo was...far far...different and in a much prettier sense. Not that he could call Ubara ugly...just more primal.
"WANT SEE!" Shrieked Ubara in his arms Jacob winced.
"Ah...is it okay if I bring him closer? He really wants to meet...." He wasn't exactly sure if Kalamo was female or male....so he left it at that.

Kalamo had a few more minutes with his bee friend when suddenly felt a tug on his leash and looked down at Gabriel.
Gabriel was reeling him in , and when he was close enough to the baby he reached out his hands and grabbed him and then held him close to his chest. " Yea , thats no problem".
The bee gave Kalamo one more look then flew away. She actually was going to the place Gabriel wanted to go. If he was paying attention he might of saw this and took it as a hint.
Kalamo's back was on Gabriel's chest and he looked at the vary neet looking man and still hadn't noticed Ubara. He just smiled and giggled as he studied the male.
Gabriel also smiling and said " I guess he likes you" he nodded to confirm what he just said. " Im Gabriel , and this is Kalamo" he would of reached out his hand but both of them where tied up with babies.

Ubara wasn't impressed with being ignored. He HATED being ignored but he found out that flailing around wasn't going to get him anywhere much to his annoyance. He waved his arms up and down reaching towards Kalamo, the name barely registered in his head as he tried his darnedest to get to the bee child.
Jacob felt a small blush creep across his face at the compliment, he wasn't sure why Kalamno had taken interest in him, but at least he didn't seem afriad of Ubara. Of course he couldn't tell if he had noticed Ubara or not.
Bringing the trollish child to his chest he tried to shift his weight so he wasn't so heavy but Ubara wouldn't hear of it and fidgeted more.
"Want SEE!" he cried out again pointing one of his too fingers towards the bee child.
"Shh..you don't want to scare him." Jacob hushed Ubara who only groweled in response. Apparently he didn't care if Kalamo could be scared of him...he just wanted to see him.

Gabriel backed up about a foot , and let Kalamo flout back up. He was worried the Bee child was going to get hurt. He could tell this tot wasn't to be underestimated.
Kalamo now saw the boy and used his leash to get closer to him , but before he was in reach of Ubara , he saw a bee and moved back up. The bee wasn't on mission so he didn't stop. Then looking but at Ubara he smiled.
Gabriel just looked really nervous the whole time. " So what do you do for living" he asked the adult.

Ubara only paused in his antics when Kalamo actually stopped to look at him. His golden eyes watched the child intently, and he was silent for a good thirty seconds before the bee child then stopped and floated away looking at another bee rather than him.
Furious was the only word to describe him and his make-shift of a father was beyond words as he tried to wrangle in his flailing child.
"Ah...I work at the central zoo." he responded between the mini wrestling match between himself and his son.
"Bara behave or we are going to go straight home, and you wont get to see the snakes!" Came his threat and Ubara ceased his actions immediately. He wanted to see the snakes. OH how he wanted to see them.
Panting slightly he looked apologectically at Gabriel.
"aha...ha...well uh...what do you do for a living?"

It was clear Kalamo didn't understand the Ubara the little power house. Gabriel seemed eager to get away but had a strange feeling to ask him if they could tag along. " Well we where going to the snakes too" Gabriel said kind of hesitant
Kalamo saw the bee pass by then went back down to the boy , and giggled at him, he was still mostly out of reach , but maybe with a good jump he could be snagged.
Gabriel kept a good eye on the little golden child and the blue eared troll.

Peering at him a bit surprised Jacob's mouth dropped as he tried to figure out what to say.
"Uh...really?" Was what he managed to get out as his child continued to struggle in his arms. Was it really a good idea to have them go together? He wondered if Ubara would settle down like he normally did when he saw the snakes. It ..could be okay then.
"Well...if are headed in the same direction did you want....to go together?" He inquired finally.
Uabara had paused in his rebelllion of being held when he heard the word snake come from the other adults mouth. He stopped started at Kalamo and looked at the man something fierce. He wanted to see the snakes...
Kalamo was temporarily forgotten as Ubara fussed in Jacob's arms wanting down.
"Snakes...now." He grumped.

He smiled at the man then looked at Kalamo "Want to see the snakes" he asked how most adults do when talking to a baby. Kalamo didn't understand but he didn't care, he would be happy staying home watching dogs run around.
"Well I can only take that as yes" Gabriel said in happy voice. It was nice being around someone his age who just an average Gaian. " Sooo what way do we go" Gabriel asked since he had no clue where he was.
Kalamo was now focused on the blue boys ears and really wanted to touch them. Since he couldn't control his flouting to much , all he would end up doing is flouting up and down and missing his ears by an inch or two. This is what happened each time he tried to touch his ears he missed. His gold dust started to fall on Uabara's face. Unfortuintly it dissolved before he would ever feel it but he might just see it.

Jacob gave a weak smile watching Gabriel make baby talk with his little one. He looked to Ubara who looked like he was sulking and was antsy wanting to get a move on.
Waiting he then nodded his head once the man seemed satisfied that litttle Kalamo was ready to go he looked around. He wasn't exactly one hundred percent sure there were snakes here. It ..was a petting zoo. Would they have reptiles?
"Uh..." he started and the looked around glancing at the signs he saw one for pigs, and goats, and rabbits, donkey....
"Lets head this way." He said pointing in the direction of the goats. Maybe there would be more signs later on.

As they walked Gabriel made sure to look around. He kept on good eye on the flouting baby. He seemed to be more into grabbing the blue boys ears and was faling ever to cutely.
They walked around a for bit both of them not finding the snake petting area. After a bit Gabriel looked at Jacob "I think I'm going to ask for help" he saw lady picking up trash in a bright zoo vest " Ummm Miss ... where is the snake petting area?"
She looked up and saw Kalamo being really cute like he was dancing in the air " Well ummmmmmmm..... not to be rude sir but Im right behind me"
Gabriel looked and turned to his new friend " Its right here" he had a silly facial expercion. It was huge building split into two parts , one for older kids and one for kids around Kalamo and Ubara size. It would be to dangerous for them to be around the bigger snakes.
Gabriel turned back to the lady and thanked her for the help.
"You ready" he looked up to Kalamo and started walk towards the building with the sign that said ' Snake Pit For ages 6 and younger' , he waved to Jacob to signal him.

Jacob felt relief as they found themselves in front of the snake pit; it didn't help that Ubara was currently distracted with a floating baby that was trying to grab onto his ears but was failing at it.
As soon as he spotted the sign with a snake painted on it his attention was riveted in front of them.
"Snake snake snake..." He chanted under his breath as they entered the 'pit'.
Of course snakes couldn't be allowed to roam free else they'd never find them again, they were sneaky that way. Besides most snakes liked to hide, but there were a lot of containers that held snakes in them and there were adults hanging around in front of them taking the snakes out to allow children to hold them, pet them or just look at them.
Ubara wanted down...NOW. He struggled and squirmed in Jacob's arms and the adult finally relented and placed the child down.
"Ubara you need to listen to the adults okay?" Jacob warned the blue skinned boy who only nodded his head his attention riveted on a woman who was holding a brightly colored king snake in her hands.
Sighing Jacob looked to Gabriel like he was looking for help.
