Welcome to Gaia! ::

Spiro eyed the tree she pointed to thoughtfully, teeth worrying at his lower lip slightly.. And then he looked once more back to Colette, pretty impressed himself... Hm.. He wouldn't show it, of course. He said nothing, not one to speak unless given a reason to, continuing to listen to the girl talk about the people Colette had met. (Rhyme. Ha. o___o Colette had met.) He gave a shake to his head after her apology, settling back in the swing once more, staring up towards the sky, "Naw, s'okay. You can talk all you want, I don't mind too much." He began to do lazy little swings once more..

Spiro began to put some effort into his swings, taking in a deep breath and kicking out each swing in an attempt to get a little higher... And then he just stopped, dragging his heels along the ground, his eyes still on the sky, "Hey, Colette? Y'ever think... About what it would be like... To.. You know... Fly?" He looked back towards her.

Spiro tensed at that, his brows furrowing slightly... He gave a jerky nod before taking the candy, giving another nod, this one grateful. He popped it into his mouth, staring now at the ground, "Oh. Of course." He went silent once more, finding this to be one of his weaker subjects, being he wasn't of one true 'race'... Just dirty blood.

Spiro's eyes fluttered to a close, and although what Colette was saying would soothe anyone else, it only brought up bad memories in his mind... He managed a nod and one of his rare smiles to reassure her she had gotten her point across, although it hadn't really all soaked in for him yet... He settled back... "You.. Aren't just a human... 'Cause someone told me... That it doesn't matter what y'are on the outside, just how strong your heart is... Or... Something like that." He shrugged it off, his eyes opening, still fixed on the ground..

Avery sat quietly while Colette talked herself out, but when she held out the crystal, and the conversation fell quiet, he waved to the new girl and said, "She already said my name, but I'm Avery. I like your hat!"

He glanced over at Spiro, the very quiet boy he'd seen in the bowling alley and a couple of other places, but never gotten the chance to talk to. Should he try to start a conversation? Avery wasn't sure.

"Uhm... Colette? Want to introduce me to your friend? I've seen him around, but I've never talked to him." He pulled on a lock of his hair nervously, and shifted the icepack on his ankle with the other hand.

She smiles again, though it goes unseen since her mouth is covered.

((Oh, and I probably wont be able to respond for the next 2 days, because I cant do gaia at home since my net isnt working right now >< I might be able to sneak onto my mom's computer though ^_^))

Colette smiled looking up as she thought "Maybe we can find a puzzle? Then we could all put it together." She nodded, looking back and forth at the two "That is if you want to.. if not we can do something else!" she fidgeted, looking to the ground.
