Welcome to Gaia! ::

Albin lay on his in a large damp sandbox, the dark skinned boy moved his arms, legs, and wings slowly making a sand angel since the snow was gone. He could see and hear other children playing around him but Albin was content for the moment to do his own thing, occasionally blowing a dark grey smoke ring or two into the air for his own amusement.


Tal sat on nearby bench occupied with a book, though from time to time the white haired seraph would look over to make sure his son hadn't wandered off.

Albin could see the slide from where he lay and one child in particular on it caught the part pixie's attention. She was different than most of those there, more like the sorts of people he saw at home. Maybe he should offer to play with her?

The boy sat up slowly dusting snow off of himself and shaking it out of the rather long purple and green striped scarf he was wearing over his clothes. Albin was incredibly fond of that scarf and given the chance the toddler would wear nothing but it draped over him. Being out in public however meant real clothes were needed as well.

The scarlet eyed child watched the dark haired girl carefully as he made his way out of the sandbox and navigated his way past other playing children towards her. Still, Albin paused a few feet away, pale wings twitching as he watched the other child and her mother play. How to get the other's attention without bringing the grown up over?

Albin waved his small pudgy child's fingers in Saar's direction. " I'm Albin." He had been named by his older sister Zoe, a family tradition, and quite liked the word, perhaps becuase it was an easy name for a toddler to say.

The pink haired boy's wings flicked again ridding themselves of remaining grains of sand as he smiled at his maybe new friend. He nodded towards a currently abandoned merry go round, the large metal circle was too heavy for him to push alone for a ride and none of the other children thus far had wanted to get themselves dizzy on it enough to help Albin. " Want to try that?" he asked trying not to show just how much he'd like to play.


From the bench Tal watch the two kid's interaction curiously and he noted where Albin was looking. Non human or not he wasn't even sure two toddler could move that thing at any real speed, then again it probably couldn't hurt them to try. The angel flipped a page in his book and ignored the odd stare he got from more human parents, he needed to stop coming to places without wide ethnic or racial diversity.

"I'm a boy" he pointed out first just in case that wasn't obvious. The toddler's scarlet eyes gleamed and he grinned impishly "I'm nightmare too and Pixie." Dark skin, slender winged and the ability to blow smoke rings, he was quite impressive as far as he was concerned.

Albin too had noticed that they didn't look much alike but instead focused on the fact that they both had red eyes and red eyes were pretty cool. Once he caught up to Saar and they reached the merry go round he looked at his partner curiously. " How many times around before we jump?" How fast should they have been pulling and pushing the big metal ride before they hopped on and just spun.

Albin shook his head and gestured towards the round metal plat form itself" You jump when it spins" he explained as he took a step forward and pushed the bar in front of himself to get more motion going for the merry go round. "You'll know when," she'd have to since they hadn't decided on how many turns and Albin was no good at telling people to jump while remembering to do it it himself. For the moment the part pixie boy was mostly just focused on digging his feet into the ground for traction and getting the ride working, though he was paying attention to Sarr so they were pushing at the same time and speed.

With the help of Saar Albin got the merry go rounds speed to something the dark skinned toddler felt was right. It didn't move so fast he was tripping over his own feet to push it but not so slow it wouldn't count as a ride either. Carefully he let go of the metal push bar, took a half step forward then flung himself to the left and onto the large spinning metal disk. Albin slid a little but ignored the pain of the friction as he latched onto the center of the merry go round to hold onto so he didn't slide off. Only once he was secure did the scarlet eyed boy look to see if his friend and helper had made it aboard.
