Welcome to Gaia! ::

A tall pale blonde Russian man, with blue-violet eyes was busy turning on the watering system he had put in for his farm. It was extensive and had taken him two weeks -not including plans before that- to assemble it, with professional help and put it in the ground. Where Aleksey got his money from you.. probably didn't want to know. You where either poor in Russia.. or rich.. and usually rich meant you had your hands in some.. dirty schemes.

Either way. Things were in full bloom and ripe, but in order to keep the crops producing fruit it needed water and fertilizer. With a WHOOSH the sprayers turned on and started watering the various fruit plants. And they began their usual. Tick tick tick WHIIIIIR cycle that was oh so soothing to the Russian.

Sighing with a smile on his face, Aleksey adjusted the scarf around his neck and looked to the sky. A nice clear day, at it was still early for an adventure. But no.. this time he shouldn't follow after some chipmunk and get lost from his farm. He, had enough of that from yesterday. Today would be tending to his house today. And those beautiful sunflowers that kept popping up around his house.

"Excuse? What for?" Aleksey said as he turned partially to face the girl who had come up to him. Her voice had stopped him in his tracks. Not that he had been going very far.. just to admire the sunflowers.. that's all. Of course now that he was near them, along with some bee's, he paused to pay attention to the girl. She was younger but pretty too. There were alot of pretty women here.. and so friendly. The men... he wasnt so sure about. Aleksey shook his head and dismissed the thought. He smiled and held up a gloved hand in greeting.

"Pryvet. Im Aleksey... this is my fruit farm. You wanting some fruits?" Aleksey said to her gently.

"Private?" Aleksey blinked for a few moments in silence. Private.. this place wasnt private. Especially to a Russian. Communism, no one really had ANY privacy, so to even hear the word was strange, let alone him thinking of the concept. Why would she think he had said the place was private? Private.. privet... "Oh Pryvet! Nyet this place is not of privates. Pryvet means Hello in Russia." Aleksey said as he smiled cheerfully. "You saw sign, da? What fruits are you to be wanting?" Aleksey asked gently. "Should we taking walk? You see, you want, you buy?" Aleksey offered to the girl.

Aleksey nodded and pointed to where they would be heading. He started leading the way, only to come to the sprinkler system. He turned it off before looking back to Tera. "It may being wet. Sorry, the fruits are thirsty alot." Aleksey said with a light chuckle. He then lead the way into the fields, Everything was ripe and abundant.. exactly how much of each fruit had he planted?! There were rows upon rows of fruit baring trees and bushes. They would go through the apricots, then the peaches, the nectarines, the strawberries, the blue-black-raspberries and finally come out to a field of Green medicinal Herbs.

"Its funny you know?" Aleksey said as he took Tera through the fields. "I plant these not long ago. And they sprouting up so fast. Like magic." Aleksey said as he stopped and turned to Tera, halfway through the tour of his grounds. "Its like they wanting to be growing so big and tall. And all the fruits are being so ripe and sweet. Its like the land is possessed with growing sprites. Also the house.. i didnt need to be putting any electrics in it. The lights.. there arent any wires going to any power plants. And yet i plugs something in at the house and it works. Isnt that weird? So weird..." Aleksey said with a creepy look coming to his eye, but his cheerful smile through you off.

Aleksey's smile ceased as did the odd look in his eyes. "Oh!" He said in shock he hadnt meant to be.. what was it? Creepy? Yes he hadnt meant to be that. "I am to being sorry. I didnt mean to scare. I did not meaning to be making face. I am sorry." Aleksey said gently with a light frown and concern in his eyes. He didnt mean to freak her out honestly. He didnt even know he was making any creepy faces or looks.


"I am sorry." He said for a third time as he bowed slightly to the young girl. "I was just thinking how odd it is... i-" Aleksey said gently but his voice trailed off and his gaze dropped to the ground. What else could he say? "I do not mean to be.. ah.. Creep." He said softly and with a frown, not entirely understanding what the word meant but he had understood that it had upset the woman and scared her.

Aleksey smiled and looked back up at Tera when she apologized. "Ah. Its is okay, da?" Aleksey reached out and patted Tera's shoulder with his big ol gloved hand. "We continue with tour?" He said more than asked. "You wanting fruits, we havent finished tour. We finish now and you get fruits." Aleksey said cheerfully, before he continued with the tour through his grounds. He pointed out the various fruits, naming them and stopping to look at them to see how ripe they were. He picked a few raspberries from a bush. He took Tera's hand and made it so her palm was face up. He put the raspberries in her palm and smiled. "Have them. Taste, their good, da?"

"Neither do i. But i think so too." Aleksey laughed lightly at the comment about his farm and nodded. "We getting you basket." Aleksey said as he looked around, he had them lying everywhere for just such an occassion. Ah! there was one. Aleksey crossed the path to get to the peach trees. Below one was a medium sized basket. He picked it up and looked to the peaches. He smiled to them and picked one before walking back over to Tera. "You tried this too." He said as he smiled to her and handed it. "Then you taking basket and you picking what you wanting, da?" He said as he offered her the basket as well. She could fill it with the fruit she wanted and pay for it once she was done picking.
