Welcome to Gaia! ::

Another day and another meeting at the Labs. The last one seemed to have gone well, Ante had fun, and since they were back in the general area he figured that they should stop by the place once more for another visit. As it was Flynn was rather curious if the growth spurt his boy had gone through was normal for children from this place. It had been a surprise to him but Ante hadn't seemed to have had any bad reaction to it, he'd needed bigger clothing but that was about it.

Currently the boy was running around in a silk... sort of dress he guessed it was, of Asian design with phoenixes on it. It had slits that went up to his waist and under it was some black capri style pants and as always he walked around with his dragon feet bare. He wasn't sure what he thought about his son running around in a dress but then again he wasn't really a straight up boy was he? He watched the way that he danced around a few steps ahead of where he was walking, his excitement at getting to go and meet people at the place again showing easily on his features. The boy was to open, he would make a terrible poker player he thought to himself.

"We are almost there!" Ante chirped, able to see the building now though as much as he wanted to rush ahead he knew he would get in trouble if he did. He was supposed to hold hands when he crossed streets, supposed to look both ways, to be safe and careful. He didn't want to risk getting hurt after all! He paused as he got to the edge of the side walk and held a hand out to Flynn.

The man smiled, taking his hand and used it to lift the boy up into his arms so that they could cross the street and head toward the door, "Lets go and see who is in today." Flynn murmured, slipping inside and set to looking around for anyone that might be present to ask questions of.

Ante blinked his large blue eyes as the woman swept him up before giving a giggle, his long tail setting to wagging in a rapid and happy manner, "Yes!" He told her, "I met Svennic, he is very nice!" He chirped, having had fun the last time he visited and already he was having fun getting lifted up so high off of the ground.

Flynn gave the giant of a woman a wide eyed look before giving a slight smile. This wasn't so bad he finally decided, the woman didn't seem at all dangerous just a bit hands on. He looked away from her to looking around the area, wondering where that odd woman with the glasses was at as he needed to talk with her. He glanced over at the blond again, "Is Apoxi around?" He asked of her, "I need to speak with her about Ante."

The boy looked over at his friend with wide eyes, "Flynn?" He asked, sounding a little worried.

The red head gave him a playful tug on his tail, "No looking worried, Ante. I just need to ask some medical stuff. You know I would never leave you here." He said in an assuring fashion.

Ante gave a sound somewhat like a purr as he got hugged by teh blond woman and when he was set down on his clawed feet he turned and scurried over to Flynn, climbing up his arm so he could perch on the man's shoulders, "We get to meet dragons!?" He asked, tail lashing in excitement, "Is one of them the dragon I come from?" He sounded quite hopeful and more then a little eager to see that dragon.

Flynn gave a bit of a chuckle as the boy used him a jungle gym before he looked the woman over, "I am assuming they aren't dangerous dragons?" Even if it were the dragon that Ante came from if it was dangerous he wouldn't let the kid near it.

Flynn looked between the massive beings that were the dragons of the Labs, studying them closely then gave a jump when one of them came to attack Ante... he took a step forward as though he were ready to defend the smaller boy before he realized that this one seemed... well... pretty well harmless. She was squealing over Ante in the same fashion that the woman from before had and it had him filing the information away for later. Apparently Ante's cute attracted women, useful knowledge to have in case the opportunity to use it arose.

Ante was squealing happily, tail wagging as the soft dragoness picked him up for cuddles and he hugged her back, purring now, "Oh! You are pretty!" He said, his small, darkly colored hands rising up to pet over her smooth scales and pretty fluff. So this was the dragon that he was born from? He tilted his head to the side and starred, seeming to be trying to figure out how that worked... so this was his mother and Svennic was his father...? If he were older he would likely wonder at the logistics of it but for now he gave up with a shrug and just cuddle the dragon.

Flynn watched them, to make sure that things were alright with them before he started toward the woman in the giant glasses.

He gave another purring sort of sound as she said that she was his Mama, something he'd figured but having it confirmed was wonderful to his young mind. He gave a happy smile as they floated up to the neat looking stuff that was floating up in the higher up parts of the room. This was most interesting to his young mind so he couldn't help but to stare, eyes wide.

"Neat!" He said, finding the idea of having floating rocks and trees anywhere, but especially inside a building, as being one of the coolest things he'd seen to date, "My name is Ante Up Eldritch!" He chirped, giving her a toothy grin then asked, "Do... I call you Mama? Or by your name?" He asked curiously, she was his Mama but he didn't live with her... so he wasn't exactly sure what he should be referring to her as.

Flynn glanced to the side as the strange looking cat dragon floated off with Ante then turned his attention back to the one called 'Normandy' and gave him a nod, "Good to met you." He said before looking at Apoxi, "I had a few questions for you if you don't mind."

He gave a happy smile at that and nodded, "Would like to call you Mama then." He told her, after all she was his parent and he didn't call Flynn by that sort of things since Flynn was his buddy, not his Dad or anything like that. He tilted his head to one side, looking thoughtful. Tell her about him, huh? He seemed to be debating over it, "I am learning to play cards! Flynn has let me play a couple times even since last time I visited and talked to Svennic." He started with, he'd done well in his first couple hands of poker though everyone claimed it was all nothing but beginners luck.

"I live with Flynn, he's my friend with the fiery hair that I came with. We are... we are... what is the word..." He seemed to be thinking on it once more one finger tapping against his lips, "Oh! Gypsies."

Flynn starred for a moment at the mention that someone had go to 'feed the humanoids' as that sounded like the strangest comment he'd heard in his life time, "I have a few questions about Ante's health is all. The kid had a rather... intense growth spurt, going from being just a little tyke to... well... what he is now." He made a motion to where the kid was. He gotten a lot taller and all over night!

He nodded his head rapidly in agreement, "Yes! I rather like the game of cards, I have only played Poker so far but I wanna learn all the games that Flynn plays." There were so many and he wanted to try them all! He tilted his head to the side, thinking hard on that name then squeaked, "Yes! I met him for a moment when I met Svennic!" He told her in an excited fashion. It hadn't been for long but he was an interesting creature to look upon, bright colored hair and a neat ability.

Flynn glanced up to where the kid was, "Well it was new to me, human kids don't... jump in size that fast. I am assuming that it will happen again then given how mundane it sounds to you?" He asked, then listened to her words about a possible 'Health Drive' and he nodded, "Might be a good idea, Ante is pretty lucky and hasn't even gotten so much as a cold but its still a good idea to have him checked out. How much does that run?"

"We play lots of games, camp out at different inns and hotels, get to order lots of food from room service, and we ride in taxis and buses a lot to get around when the weather isn't nice enough to walk." He said, tail swishing happily. His eyes went wide as the shiny leaf was placed in his hair which made him purr in delight again, he had a weakness for accessories if his hair clip and necklace were any indication, "Pretty, thanks."

"So we don't have to worry about that madness then I take it?" The idea that they were experimenting on these children to make a vaccination for those wherever they came from wasn't something he could say he liked the thought of very highly. It seemed a bit strange to him as well as bordering on exploitation, he'd keep the thoughts to himself though so as not to risk the kid getting taken away from him.

"Free, huh? I can deal with that price, might surprise you that I ask but some doctors can cost an arm and a leg so I figured I'd ask ahead of time so I could make sure I had enough with me to pay off the bill straight away. If your doctors are free though I won't complain." Sounded rather nice in fact, free was the best price ever... not that he and Ante were very hard up for money at the moment with Ante's lucky aura.
