Welcome to Gaia! ::

After his daily prayer session and sacrafice, any Malu who cared to notice could often find Kamin by the cracked fountain, watching the water trickle, nearly hynotyzed. It really was a wonder that he didn't follow the god of water, with his seeming obbsession with all things wet, but that's not life had chosen for him. And so, instead, he went daily to the shrine of the ocean god and payed his hommage, and then came out here, into the courtyard to space out. It was something he did quite well, and as he sat there, solid and grey as stone, one could assume he had gone comatose and lost the ability to move. What one couldn't assume was what the Malu was thinking of, for that topic changed almost every other second. His thoughts were lightspeed after prayer, and he was ADD with his thought pattern.

Today, the water had completely evaded his thoughts. His mind had chosen to wrap around the realization that this was the way he was going to spend the rest of his life. Waking, walking from the pack to the temple, praying, sitting by the fountain, walking back to the pack for lunch, walking back to the temple for socializing, and then walking back to the temple for dinner and rest. He hadn't been here long, yet he had already fallen in to a schedule. He longed for a change in today's flow, craved excitement. For a shy creature, he was uncharacteristically open to anything the world could throw at him at that moment, so long as it wasn't trickling water in an ancient fountain.

From just inside one of the temple's entrances, a freckled Malu perked her white tipped ears high into the clear air. Pale yellow lanterns gazed about in mild interest for the source of that echoing voice. Hearing the splash, and smelling the scent of water on warm stones, the female already had enough of a hint to go on.

Rounding the corner, a brow was immediatly raised at the sight of the tiny winged Malu and the newely drenched one. Couldn't one already see the events to come...?

Gabriel blinked a couple of times. His ears drooping to the sides slightly from the water.
After a moment the little boy burst into laughter rolling onto his back, causing water to slash in his nose and face.
Choking he sat up quickly sneezing the water out, and coughing. But once clear again he continued to laugh
”you look Siwy!” Gabriel giggled, then trotted to the other side of the fountain, still in the water out of the adults reach.

With the onslaught of children's giggles, Kamin whipped his head around to see yet another behind him, also laughing. Was it Temple Giggle day and he just didn't get the memo? Perhaps the young ones here were more...lively than he had been. Well, that had already been proven by the babe in the fountain. He had some getting used to to do. "I look silly? You look sillier." It was an immature and pointless statement, but in the mess of laughter, it was all he could come up with and retain at least some dignity.

Iionoir tiptoed out of his napping spot, a yawn echoing out of his throat. Lazily trotting along, his ears twitched at the sound of giggles and splashing water. A slight chill ran down his spine as a few new scents greeted him. "New Malu?" he asked himself aloud. How long had he been asleep? With a shrug, he continued onward, his bright green gaze continuously staring at the ground below him.

The extraordinarily colored Malu took a seat a few feet away from the two near the fountain, taking a slight interest in their strange activity. However, he had no interest in becoming a wet prisoner of the seemingly-evil brat in the fountain itself.

Gabriel stopped moving, sliding one of his front paws forward slightly in front of his other paw, toes barely toughing the bottom of the fountain.
“Karmin” he said with a grin, tilting his head down to the side, grinning up at him with one eyes covered with his hair “I Gabriel”
he tossed his head back up. moving the hair from his eyes “why do you look like dat?”

Gabriel blinked at Kamin for a moment, “so…. Yous bald….” He said thinking it over. Then let out a loud giggle spinning again.
“well dat silly, why you be bald for? Are you old?” he giggled again.
Gabe didn’t know anything about sea creatures, so he had no idea what sea creature this malu could look like… but then again… “what a sea creature?” he asked tilting his head to the side

He mouth fell open slightly having glanced down at the water he stood in, and imagined it being endless.
“Wooooow!” he gasped looking back at the Adult in astonishment “how you know! you wive der?”
he had a hard time imagining a Malu living in water. Must not be to comfortable.
