Welcome to Gaia! ::

This was so not fun Aysun thought to himself, making it bit of a face as he walked side by side with his brother, turning from time to time to look over his shoulder. It wasn't that he didn't want to go out with Mommy and Chandra to go... well, to meet the people she wanted them to meet. It was the fact that he was only allowed to be bring one member of the zoo, meaning that three had to stay home! Menk had stayed home, mostly because the fish could care less if it came or went. From there he had to decide between Kapila, Pembe, and Flower... but in the end he decided on flower. He couldn't bring Kapila because leaving the other two behind meant Pembe spending the day trying to eat flower, he couldn't bring Pembe because he was so big, and given that Chandra had Awen it seemed best that be bring Flower. Not to mention his compact size was helpful. Even now the pink Summer Sprite was perched on his head, putting little braids in it.

Turning to look over at Chandra when they were told to wait outside he couldn't help but to roll his eyes, "I get the feeling that we are gonna be waiting outside a lot for a while, huh?" The fact that there was 'war' looming over everything seemed to be making the adults want to talk on their own a lot. It really was a bother given that he would like to try to hear what was going on... he needed to get better at spying he thought to himself, shifting in place, before he added, "If I knew we were gonna be stuck outside I'd of told Pembe and Kapila to follow us." If they listened or not was debatable but he could have at least given them the option.

"I wonder if they plan on kicking that girl outside too." He said, lifting a hand up to ruffle Flower's hair before he turned completely toward Chandra, "I bet it will be easier for you to talk to her, huh? She will be a lot closer to our level after all." Though he couldn't say that he liked the idea of some girl stealing his brother away from him... but still, it would give him someone to play with when Aysun was in Jauhar with was a good thing... though really he felt that Chandra should just come with him! They could climb the trees together, it would be fun! He wondered if Daddy's side of the family was just too big, loud, and overwhelming for Chandra though. Not that it was any quieter here when Momma and Uncle Jacin started to argue over whatever the day's 'subject to argue over' was.

Looking to his brother he didn't comment on what he had stated about the adults making the kids stay outside. After all he would much rather just enjoy himself and his siblings company than he forced to endure that complicated subjects that the adults commonly discussed. Suddenly there was movement from the front of the house.

Chandra looked to the young girl who had come outside or rather was ushered outside by her mom? No..she didn't...look like her mom maybe her aunt? Either way she had a Menk clutched to her chest, that meant that she must of gotten one of the little fish pets at the tournament as well. Chandra chewed on his lower lip and felt himself shy away as the girl spoke, half hiding behind his brother as he continued to observe her.

Awen however was bored and though she had been nesteled in the boy's hair fluttered up to go take a look at the girl and her pet. Flying in front of it it cocked its head, after all it looked a lot like the one the boys had back home. She then flitted up to dart around the girls head, to observe her from every angle.

Sathe giggled with deep amusement as both of the sprites began to circle her from all angles. She hooked Tin under her arm and used the other to tap Flower in the belly lightly. "You're so lucky! I've never seen a sprite up close before." She turned her head back to the boys at the mention of menk. "You're telling me that you have more pets back home? That's so cool! My menk is named Tin. Big Sister has two of them. I guess she thought that same as you 'cuz she didn't want to just have one. They're named Bay and Bon." Sathe moved her arm as she spoke, her energy seeping into the air. It wasn't everyday that she got to meet new people, and especially people her own size.

"Oh! And I'm Sathe." Duh. How could she almost forget to introduce herself? "It's nice to meet you Aysun and Chandra! And Awen and Flower of course." Her attention continued to flicker between the two interesting boys in front of her and the adorable little sprites bouncing all over the place in the air around her. "Are you two Keilana's little brothers too?" It was pretty clear that Sathe didn't get out much really. Her parents were getting on in years, but to her, that seemed to be the norm. It didn't really click that they had had Aminah at a normal age... and Sathe not so much.

Aysun gave a grin, seemingly pleased with the fact that the girl approved of the spirites. They were special and beautifu after all so why wouldn't she love them? His grin only grew brighter when she spoke of them having more pets back home, "Yeah, I wish that I had known that we were gonna be playing outside, I'd of brought more of them with me. Pembe and Kapila both had to stay behind because I could only bring one with me." He really didn't understand why. Maybe if they were going to be going inside then things would make a lot more sense as to why the others weren't allowed to come along. He was starting to think that it was mostly due to Momma not caring for them all that much.

"Nice to meet you too Sathe." He said, his words genuine since he actually felt that she wasn't so bad. The fact that she seemed to like animals got her a lot of bonus points as far as Aysun was concerned. He had been a bt leery over the idea at first of hanging out with a girl but now it didn't seem so bad at all!

The next question posed to them by the girl had him laughing a bit though, "What? Our older sister? Naw, it's like what Chandra said, she's our Mom." He was of course curious now about Sathe's older sister. The woman was their mother's friend which meant that they must be the same age but where the mother had kids her friend only had a sister their age. He might very well find it odd if it weren't for the fact that he had an uncle that was about his age back in Jauhar he thought to himself before giving Sathe a smile, "So your sister, she doens't have any kids?" He asked curiously of Sathe, wondering if there were any other kids running around or if she was it, not that he would mind either way.

Chandra observed as his brother seemed to hit it off with Sathe, at first he was jealous, although he wasn't entirely sure why. Part of him wanted his brother to himself, another was jealous of the fact Aysun was able to have a conversation with Sathe. Swallowing he wasn't entirely sure what to say as they both liked animals and he was positive this conversation was going to involve talking about pets...

It wasn't that he didn't like animals..he just didn't see the point of owning them. Perhaps he picked up a bit of that attitude from his Uncle Jac. Animals were food or tools not companions. He considered the sprites different since they had a humanoid body shape and his menk back home..well it was just pretty to look at. Chandra gave Sathe a strange look as she joked about a plant giving her sister a baby. Could that really happen? He made a mental note to ask Uncle Tak, he liked being around him...he was quiet.

Plants were interesting to, though he didn't share the intense love of plants and knowledge like Uncle Tak he did find some comfort in being around them.

"S...sure. Okay Asyun?" He inquired looking for his brothers approval before they went anywhere.

Sathe jumped up at the opportunity to lead and nearly ran for the garden. But: she was able to contain herself enough to just kind of skip the first couple of steps before walking. she waved her arm in the directing they were going. "It's just this way. It's a little far back but that's because my sister needed a lot of space to plant all the things. You guys will like it it's really cool."

While they walked, Sathe answered back to their previous conversation, as if she had just remembered that they were actually speaking of something else. "Oh your mom must be so strong then. Big Sister is strong, too! She uses magic though. I saw her fighting during the tournament once and it was so cool. She didn't make it that far though. The person she was fighting against was too good." She put her finger to her chin while she spoke, thinking out loud for the most part.

"Oh! Right here!" She pushed back some fronds to clear the way and almost pushed the other two boys into the space. It was huge to put it bluntly. And there were exotic plants everywhere, including hanging in pots from vines purposely grown across and weaved in the trees.

"Ohhh, she fought in that tournament too? A lot of our family did really well in it!" Aysun chirped before saying proudly, "Uncle Jacin won it and our Daddy was second, we have good blood it seems." He was more then certain that when he and Chandra grew up that they were going to be quite powerful themselves if the various members of their family were any indication. It was something he was looking forward to, wanting to be tall like everyone that they spent a lot of time with.

As they headed forward, pushing through some big leaves and into the garden he couldn't help but to give a squeal of delight, "Oh, wow! This place is great! It's kinda like where Daddy lives, don't you think Chandra?" The plants weren't quite as big as though in Jauhar but they were still massive and intimidating in size. It made him take a step closer to one of them, looking up at it, "Huh... I wonder if some of these trees are strong enough to climb. What do you think, Sathe? Have you tried?"

When his brother asked if she was trying to plant a forest he looked around a moment more then said, "That would be nice, Tale really could use more shade like they have in Jauhar." How nice would that be? It might help to cool it down a bit too. In fact just being here in the garden and out of the direct sun was that much nicer. A small forest would be even better, "I hope that her plants get good and big." He said, releasing Chandra after giving his hand a squeeze so he could prowl around the trunk of one of the trees.
