Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wren was comfortably seated on his mother's shoulders as the pair made their way through the large indoor flea market. It was confusing to the green eyes boy because there actually weren't fleas here but stuff for sale. His mother hadn't been able to tell him why they were named as they were and for Wren it seemed like a deep mystery, however it was not one the songbird boy had time to solve.

Right now he was busy using his high vantage point to look for vendors with stuff that looked interesting to him. he was allowed to pick up something special first becuase they were going to be here for a while and his mother didn't want him bored. Though as a small child his attention was easily redirected as long as the next thing he saw was interesting.

Rinali smiled and hummed softly to herself as she weaved her way through the crowd keeping a careful hold of Wren's legs and trying not to jerk too much in her movements and make the boy lose balance. The orange and white haired seraph woman loved flea markets although navigating the crowds and dealing with the heat of so many bodies was always the hardest part for her.

Perched up high Wren spotted a stall with interesting looking instruments over near a strange yellow winged boy. He tapped his mother's arm for her attention and gestured in the direction he wanted to go. As they neared the other boy Wren's orange and pale yellow feathers ruffled for no reason he could understand, as if a strange wind had mussed them up. A strange feeling reverberated through the dark skinned boy but he didn't know what his meant and his mother seemed oblivious to it.

Wren waved as they were about to pass the boy and a strange noise a cross between a real word and some sort of deranged chirp issued from his mouth startling the child quite a bit. What was that and why had it happened? Why had he never made that sound before? Was something wrong with him?

Rinali blinked and froze," Wren are you okay" less concerned with who was around her she wondered if he'd hiccuped or if the noise was a sign of something more serious like choking.

As his mother pulled him down to get a better look at him Wren slipped loose of her hold and hopped foreword to come back to face with the other yellow winged child, and as he got closer the strange reverberation that ran through him rose again, peaked then dissipated. Apparently this one was the source of his weird feelings even if he didn't know why? Really they were nothing alike except for having wings and Wren knew lots of people about his size with wings. There were probably a dozen in the fleamarket alone.

" Hi" This time the sound that came from his mouth was soft and calm. Not shy but unassuming, nothing more than a simple one word statement meant to show he was acknowledging the other boy.

Wren's wings quivered for a moment and the boy smiled" I like your wings too" He admitted the other's were all one colour but interesting, and his hair was two colours so clearly it evened out. " I'm Wren." If they were going to say more than that to each other he had to introduce himself it was what was polite.

The young songbird smiled and waved at the man who'd appeared from the crowd.

This was.. random Rinali though as she too made her way to the boys, silver bell earrings jingling as she moved. Well perhaps less random then strange, Wren had never done this before. Was it possible that even though they looked so different the children were the same in some way? The woman never had figured out what species Wren's egg was after all. " Hello Boys" she murmured unusually quietly still assessing the situation.

The dark haired songbird nodded " Lots of shopping, all day." Well maybe not all day but possibly that long which was why Wren was supposed to get something to entertain himself with. Wren reached up to fiddle with the smooth bone of the animal skull necklace he wore while he continued to look over Vergil "We could shop?" Right? Because doing things together was better than doing them alone


Rinali reached out and shook the man's hand firmly " I'm Rinali and no trouble at all, Wren's not my first child so I'm sort of used to this happening." Pyran had actually been far more prone to wandering off than Wren ever seemed too.

" It's fine" The seraph assured him, it was nice to have company and Wren was still working on his socializing skill so this was good practice. " At least they'll be easier to keep track of this way." Well perhaps anyway sometimes a pair of children became a large mob if enough of them spotted each other at once and headed away from their guardians to meet.

" What are you shopping for?" Wren asked curiously, as far as he knew he and his mother were just here becuase she liked to look at things and had wanted him to come along and see them too.

" Stuff" Wren replied with a smiled twitching the pale yellow fears of his wings " and something for me." Anything he wanted was open to him since his mother hadn't specified anything but likely it would be some sort of toy that he chose.
