Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bastion Revington currently debated the concept of child harnesses as he watched Orion and Carina, who'd been told to stay at his side, race off into the depths of a toy store eager to play with the dozens of isles filled with things they were permitted to touch. One one hand it would be embarrassing for him and for them to be seen in public in such a manner. On the other they were already almost out of his sight and Bastion didn't feel comfortable with the idea of losing the pair of them in such a big place, never mind the other laces they could wander off to if they weren't going to listen.

It took little time for Orion to immerse himself in an isle lined with stuffed animals. The large, soft and mostly squishy things were fun to pick up and hug, especially the ones on the bottom row, the ones nearly as big as him. Mostly though the young herald was just happy to be able to touch things. Here was stuff that was toys, that wasn't super expensive and they he could play with and not worry about breaking. The tiny dark wings on his back twitched and flapped betraying his excitement.

Carina giggled as she watched her brother. "I like those ones better." While Orion seemed to like the bigger stuffed animals Carina gestured further up at the smaller bears and cats and dragons wearing t-shirts and dressed and suits. Animals in clothes, even toy ones amused her.

It was Carina who spotted the purple haired girl first, the curio had looked to the left first and then down the isle to the right in hops that someone tall would enter or that their father would catch up and help her reach the cuter stuffed animals. A wide smile formed on the toddlers face and she called out to the stranger with no sense of indoor voice tone or the idea she might be bothering the other. " Hey, help please." It was more a command than request but well intentioned, the purple haired girl was bigger, though not as big as their father, and could reach and be helpful.


Startled by the sudden shout from his sister Orion jumped, tripped and tumbled forward into a line of giant teddy bears. The heralds' landing was fuzzy and comfy like the blanket at home. Orion laughed and then rolled a bit, still half on the shelf, to get a look at what had caught Carina's attention.

Bastion was only an isle over at this point, able to hear them due to distance and see them in the reflection of domed security mirrors on the ceiling. The man was unsure about them just openly talking to strangers but for the moment he was quietly observing to see just what would happen. It wasn't like he was going to let them just wander off with another kid.

Carina nodded and pointed up at the desired stuffed animals " Can't reach them." It was in her mind perhaps the only bad part about being little, you couldn't reach stuff.

Orion just waved at the larger girl who was slowly coming closer, she was different looking but not in the scary kind of way. The herald was curious about her but didn't want to say anything and distract her from helping yet. Some bigger people, he had learned, could not talk and do stuff at the same time.
