Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Kishi stay away from the roses you'll tear your clothes on the thorns" Malen called out futilely to his daughter. He lay in a hammock in the shade of the trees while watching Kishi roam around the gardens. Ever since she'd grown Kishi been unstoppable, motoring around exploring everything until her legs became to weak to carry her. Now as Malen looked on helplessly she was takign in the great outdoors, minus the fountain which she wasn't allowed near without him, Ianna or Del.

Kishi ignored her fathers words as she followed a butterfly that was making it's way around the gardens. It's bright orange and black colours had caught her eyes and though she'd been warned not to touch it, that didn't mean she couldn't follow it. Thus holding her wand with both hands she trailed after it even venturing towards the roses, she didn't really care if her clothes got torn.

Upon receiving the greeting Malen sat up and waved back " Hello there, been a while hasn't it." It had been quite some time since Malen had seen Kierla, if he remebered correctly they'd last actually talked during the Stray incident and he recalled having seen her at the Easter party. He knew her ghost was of a pegasus and that was about all he could remember having discussed.

At the sound of other voices Kishi let her attention switch first to the speaker who received a beaming grin and then to the pink babyghost." Hi."She said softly admiring the other's wand it had wings just like hers did and she had wings too, to Kishi wings and purple were a sign of good.

" Thanks yeah Kishi's a toddler now, which means she's mostly stopped licking everything she comes into contact with but she's still grabby and now she can get into everything." He laughed softly "Going to have to enroll her in daycare soon so she can socialise with the rest of the gaian population and not just her own kind, " he grinned" I'll have to use Ianna's last name for her though since I can't give mine and calling her Kishi Malen's child would sound strange." He was babbling a bit but he was still too hyped from the recent changes in the both Kay and Kishi's ages to settle down ,except around lithle that woman had a sobering affect on him, but that was another topic.

Kishi's eyes followed the path of the wand and she smiled " Butterfly, no touch" she explained " touch and die." She continued sounding sad, why did butterflies have to die if you touched them it wasn't fair.

Malen nodded " Children tend to put everythign in thier mouths, as babies people use all thier senses equally to explore things including taste." He remebered now that Kierla has admitted to not knowing much about children, still to have gotten this far far with her ghost meant she was on the right track. " I can't give my last name becuase I've made too many enemies in my job to put my family at risk by using my last name anymore." It was a an unfortunate side affect of his work but he'd learned to live with it and considering that he'd still been tracked down without a last name by the D-corp people he knew it was the right choice.

Kishi smiled and followed the baby ghost,while her new friend couldn't talk they could still play, she wondered if the other girl would play with her like Zah did when they were done chasing the butterfly.

Malen gave a soft sigh at the compliment directed towards his daughter " Your girl is equally cute and I'm sure once she emerges the others will flock to her." He had do doubt that the pegasus girl would have a sort of soft classic beauty like Kay." As for Kishi she can grow to be a hearthrob as long as she learns to control her powers."

" Malen is indeed my real name it's not common but it's not so uncommon that I can be traced through it." he said stretching." don't worry about thankyous for compliments at this stage kids get used to hearing nice things about them all the time. There's a study of some sort that states babies are made to look cute and helpless so we're more inclined to care for them." Personally Malen loved kids to much to care what they looked like or why.

Having built up some momentum Kishi was unable to stop suddenly and went face first into the fluffy back of her friend, not wanting to breathe her in she stumbled backward " Sorry." She hoped she hadn't hurt the other girl.

Malen shrugged " According to my Mothers they just made it up, I have no clue which category it would fall under but those I have met it with it comes from places with latin based languages so I'm assuming there's a name similar to it in latin." He nodded as kierla spoke glad they seemed to have put their slightly rocky past behind them. She was pretty nice young woman and he was glad to have some company both for himself and Kishi.

Kishi simply watched the pink and white babyghost trying to figure out what to do with her next. She didn't want to risk hurting her again but she wanted to play.

Malen gave Kierla a pitying look " I know just you you feel," he remembered kishi as a babyghost and the endless streams of babble that came from her that only he could hear.

" Made up names are good and original, though Kishi's is native american for night." He had wanted something that showed the other half of her ancestry, this reminded him that he needed to take her shopping for dreamcatcher supplies soon. " Yes as baby ghosts they speak well in baby talk anyways in your head so only you can hear them, it's frustrating at times but it helps you bond with them." Malen missed being connected to Kishi that way, he'd always known how she'd felt and had usually been able to guess what she was telling him. she spokereal words now but it wasn't the same.


Glad that her friend seemd ok again Kishi slowly swung her wand at the baby ghost.She was far enough away that even if the other couldnt block only the tip would poke her slightly. Since the other had a smaller wand though it'd be harder to defend but she'd have better control.

" Yeah cultural reinforcement is nice" Malen said nodding " Kishi is half succubus and half navajho, since I don't speak any sort of demonic language I figured using a native american one would be best."

Kishi stared at the pink one in surprise, that was an odd but effective tactic, Kishi couln't move her wand without risking hurting the other ." Tie, we both win" she said nodding and smiling. Tieing was fun it meant nobody felt bad later.
