Welcome to Gaia! ::

Riley sighed in relief as class let out for recess. They almost always found most classes to be an annoying mix of frustrating and boring- sitting and paying attention for that long was pretty terrible. Being outside was a million times better.

They stretched as they paced around the yard, trying to figure out how to spend their time. They could play basketball or play on the jungle gym... or something? Riley scrunched their nose in indecision. Maybe they should just see what other kids were doing and if they were doing anything that looked like it could be worthwhile... maybe join in? They sighed. Whatever.






Vega was wandering around as soon as the bell rang. He had his sketch book in hand as he went. He was sure he was getting better at drawing, he had to be! He drew all the time, on everything he could find. He stopped to draw a leaf, before spotting a kid who he sort of recognized from around the school, but didn't really know. Abscently, he started trying to draw Riley. He wasn't very good at hiding his glances to the other freshling though.





Riley huffed in annoyance over his own indecision. Recess wasn't all that long, they had better pick something to do before he wasted it all away trying to figure out what he wanted to do. They rolled his eyes at themself. They were over thinking things. They shoved their hands in their pockets, casting another glance over the school yard. Hold up, that kid kept looking at them.

Raising an eyebrow up, they walked over to the kid. They recognized him from class, but that was really all they knew. "Umm, what are you doing?" They asked curiously.

Vega was trying really REALLY hard to draw this kid correctly... So he hadn't noticed when he started walking over, and jumped when the kid spoke to him. "AH! Oh. I uh... hi." He held the sketchbook to his chest. "I was.... just drawing." Would this kid be mad to learn he was drawing THEM? He just had this... IDEA and needed to draw.

Riley eyed him, staring him down for a moment. They weren't sure how to react to this kid. Was he drawing them? And if so, why? He certainly seemed startled by them asking... They tilted their head to the side, watching him for a minute longer, their curiosity about what he had been drawing growing with each passing second. He wasn't going to find out if they threw a fit about it, that was for sure. "Well. That's cool, I guess." They said, shrugging lightly. "What are you drawing?"

The kirin bit his lip a little. That was emberrassing, but... He held the sketch out to the new kid. It was still sloppy (He was a kid after all) But it was definitly Riley, but not the little unform he was wearing. Right now it looked like Riley was wearing a sort of rocker- styled studded leather coat. He hadn't gotten farther than that.

Riley looked at it for a bit. Yeah, they kid had definitely been drawing them, no doubt about it. They jacket though, it was pretty neat. After looking at it for sometime, they leaned back, putting their hands in their pockets. "That's kinda cool." They said with a nod to show their approval. They kinda wanted a jacket like that now. They could probably pull that off. "Do you draw a lot?" They asked. Didn't hurt to be friendly, right?
