It was a nice day outside. Hot, sunny with the occasional cool breeze that seemed to make everything worth it. But Narayan didn't care. After the last sun exposure incident, he decided he preferred the indoors. Aircon. Stupid background music that they pumped in shops like adrenalin.
And above all that, clothes.
Yes, Narayan had a clothes fetish.
"Narayan, help the driver take the bags to the car." JD said, grinning as he exchanged a playful glance with one of the staff. "I'll pay for it."
The boy brightened immediatly. He loved shopping, buying new stuff, the new bags that they came in and the weight, the immense joy of trying it on again, at home, in the privacy of his own room. He loved the smell of new stuff, the way sales people seemed to be so eager to please. He loved all of it.
Stepping out of the store and towards the car, he hefted a package closer to him. Most of the packages were birthday presents to other people, gifts, necesities. But it was still fun.

Laial hated shopping. It was boring, Maji never let him wander off on his own, and he wasn’t allowed to bring Heiko into stores either. Not fun. Maji insisted, however, on taking him grocery shopping, to have him see different foods and to help carry things.
Yes…Maji didn’t own a car. She hated the things, and never bothered to get her license when she was…what age was it? Whatever, not like it mattered anymore. …It was too bright out. Too bright out made her violent and moody. Well, more violent urges than really doing anything. It was quite similar to PMS, actually.
Laial shrank his ‘pupils’ to better see in the sun. This also allowed him to see the rather strange gray child putting away bags. Wait…he was gray, this child gray. That at least was of some importance to Laial. And it gave him a valid excuse to get away from the evil hissy b***h (read: Maji). So he walked over to investigate.

Placing the rest of the bags down, he blinked. His arms hurt. How dare JD expect the boy to carry more than one item? This had to count as child abuse, really. Stretching, (shopping was tiring work!) he looked around, and stopped.
What the HELL was that thing walking towards him?
Wary eyes. It looked dangerous. And it was kind of strange. Worse of all, it didn't have any boobs. Ticking it off his mental things to do list, he walked closer too.
Maybe it was poisnous, or crazy or something. The extra hanging thingies looked kind of cool. Maybe they were extra arms? Like his nose! Yes. That would be good. Pity it wasn't the real thing.
But he could live with that.
"Whatre you?"

Laial stopped at the sight of the child's hostility. Hmmmm... his mouth formed into a Cheshire Cat grin, the kind that read: I'm a nice person...come closer. Up close, the boy looked younger; he was almost as tall as Laial! But he didn't have a dragon with him yet... he probably had an egg though...right?
He did have very big ears and a long nose. Where had he sen an animal with such things...? Oh right, on an elephent. "You're an elephent." It wasn't a question. Laial's tentecles dropped to the ground and didn't move anymore.
"I'm a me."

Deciding that close up the tentacles were vaguely perverted, he assessed the youth with critical toddler eyes. Well. He looked pretty cool. And what was that thing on his back? It looked heavy. Was it expensive?
His eyes brightened. Turtles had shells too, and Narayan had a vague memory of when his father had told him turtle shelled glasses were expensive. Deciding that this boy was carrying a fortune on his back, Narayan tried to circle him, looking.
Hmm. Hmm.
"Hello me." he responded, friendlier. It wouldn't do to not make friends with someone expensive. Hey! Maybe the boy shedded? He had seen the movie on snakes, and snakes shedded.
"'s it heavy?"

"Hello Elephant." He didn't have a name, anyway.
That question always seemed to pop up, didn't it? Why would a giant thing on his back that was as big as him be light? "Well, how much do you weigh?"
He gave assessing others when he realized almost everyone had two arms.

Elephant was a good title, really. Narayan especially liked it when JD showed him pictures of the ones that were all dressed up, with paint and jewels. Hmmm. Maybe he was like one of those elephants.
Slightly distracted by his own fantasy of dressing up, he almost missed the next question.
"Weigh?" Narayan blinked. "Not much." he said, frowning. His father could carry him fine, and so could his aunt. And his aunt was pathetic. So he couldn't be that heavy. The boy looked up, considering. Had a boobie asked, he would have gone for a hug.
Maybe that was what this one wanted too!
"Hug?" he asked. Maybe this was what the boy with many noses wanted. He wasn't pretty enough, but Narayan could adapt.

Laial would have smiled. Wait...what?! "Uh...no." Exactly what was this strange child thinking?!
Maji finally noticed that Laial was not next to her. She shuffled to where he was, seeming to emit a very dark aura as she walked. A dog stepped out of her way.

So he didn't want a hug, then? Sighing and slightly upset that this man had tried to lead him on, he looked around, searching for something... ahah! What was this?
A boobie was walking in his direction! With a quick glance towards the boy with the shell, he smiled. "I Narayan." he said, introducing himself.
If this boobie belonged to this one. Maybe it would be good to be friends.

Laial followed the elephant's gaze to....oh dear. Maji didn't look exactly happy, and he had a feeeling something/someone with tentecles was to blame.
Maji blankly stared at Narayan as her sun-addled brain tried to process such information as, 'He's gray', and 'His nose is big'. It wasn't working well.

The boobie didn't seem to be as cheerful as Narayan had hoped. Frowning just slightly, he pushed the more thoughtful expression away and smiled. Beamed, more like it, nodding his head.
"Hello." he said sweetly, ducking his head and looking up. Maybe he could get on her good side, and she could give him a hug? He wanted one from this one. "I Narayan."

Laial giggled to himself. If this thing wanted attention...well, he was sure to get it.
Maji stared at the moving thing, brain attempting to work. "Hell...o" Whatever this thing was, it was....Narayan. Yeah. Now what's a Narayan? It was wrinkly. Old, maybe. Short for old.

Well, this one wasn't very smart, was it? Frowning, Narayan took a step forewords. He didn't want to scare her away. But look, she was a boobie! And it was his policy that all boobies deserved a second chance.
Or a third. Or a forth. As many as they needed to realize that he needed some mighty lovings.
Looking back at the shell guy, he frowned. Wait, no one was giving him any names!
"I Narayan." he repeated again. "Who you?"

Maji felt a wave of tiredness, but regained some of her intelligence back. Some. Enough to reply right away at least. "I Maj...er, I'm Maji. This is Laial," she motioned to the shell-monster.
Laial gaped. Why wasn't she going anything? She was just standing there, like her brian fried or something...

Maybe she was sick? Filing the name away for the not incredibly friendly shell monster, he nodded his head. Lah ee al? He could pronounce that. It sounded easy enough. Nodding his head, he looked back at the boy. "she sick?" he asked.
Because, well.
Maybe it was contagious. And then he'd get infected!!
