Welcome to Gaia! ::

Forte gave a little shake of his head, "No, I assure you that your not going to get eaten." He said in a soothing manner before he turned to look over toward the one that was yelling at him. He supposed it might look a little odd, him walking out into the water to pluck the pair out of it but he wasn't about to just leave the second kid just floating there when he'd looked a little terrified.

Luckily for Forte the seal came to his defense before he could do so himself, "I am sorry about Geoffry, he is... difficult to deal with and perhaps a little to used to playing with that other shark friend of his." He explained.

Geo glared up at the trio, tail thumping against the ground, "Haaka isn't my friend! He is my rival!" He snapped out, he was his to fight with, to play with, he was no friend! At least he wouldn't admit it out loud that was. He turned to looking up at Foka before giving him a smirk, "Will eat you next time." He said in a promising tone of voice.

His guardian gave him another look before he patted Foka on the head, "A shame I couldn't get a sweet kid like you." He said, before he handed the boy over to Noel, "He looks to be alright, I am glad that Geo didn't break the skin where he did bite on him." He'd seen worse wounds when Haaka and Geo had gotten into it since they had bit each other up to the point that both were blooded from what Geo had told him.

The tiger shark was looking wide eyed and ticked off as his guardian was saying that he wanted a 'sweet kid'. He felt the overwhelming desire to bite him to remind him who his kid was!

It was on the tip of his tongue to mention how he wished that Geo would nap more before the little seal boy got daring and moved to swat at the shark boy to get back at him for the teasing. He moved quickly to catch hold of the shark before he could tried to chase after him.

Geo seemed quite displeased that his food was talking back to him as well as the fact that his father was getting in the way of him biting back. Not as though that little brat didn't deserve a good beating now! His tail lashed and thumped against the ground as he was pinned there, struggled a bit, then merely growled, "Just wait until I catch you again... I'll show you mean!"

"Geo! Be nice, damn it." Forte demanded before looking at Noel and Foka in an embarrassed fashion, "Forgive him, I think its his DNA that makes him such a grouch."

Geo's eyes got wide before his lips twisted into a delighted sort of smirk. Oh but this was so much better! Before he'd been rather disappointed in the kid, thinking he was a weakling and a cry baby that gave up to easily. Now he discovered that was all nothing more then an act... it made him quite pleased. His tail seemed to almost be wagging in delight, made more so by what the other adult was saying, "Hear that, seal? Your prey to me... I will eat you!" He told him, clicking his teeth together as he'd seen Haaka do, "Maybe I will invite my other shark friend to share the feast."

Forte gave Geo's ear a flick, "I told you to be nice, no eating other kids and no sharing them with other sharks." He told the boy before looking back to Noel, "I know the feeling, I wish this brat would make friends with someone he meets but he seems to react the same way..." He poked the tiger shark in his arm where his scars were, "So far hes had two encounters with another shark and last time they thought it would be fun to get in a biting contest."

The tiger looked increasingly annoyed, "It was fun to get into a biting contest!" He said, tail thumping against the ground that much harder, teeth grinding. How day they talk about his version of games as though they were bad he though crossly to himself.

"Ahh, anyway. I am sorry about all of this." He said again, wrapping an arm around Geo's middle as he got up to his feet then gathered up his towel, shaking the sand out of it. He put it over his shoulder and then held the hand out to the man, "I know its a bit late and the circumstances might not warrant saying that it was nice to meet the two of you but... hey, who am I to say that. Name is Forte by the way, and this brat here is Geoffry." He decided perhaps he should introduce himself now as he realized he hadn't done so before this point.

Geo started to flail harder in Forte's grasp, reaching out toward Foka, teeth snapping at him, "Gonna... eat you..." He hissed, making grabbing motions as he tried so hard to get hold of Foka, he smiled a little when his hands reached out far enough to brush over the soft, furry skin of the seal boy. He gave a happy sound and then lunged to try to get a grasp of him... but Forte stepped back before he could get what he wanted, "You can't hide behind your Daddy forever you little wimp!"

Forte felt a headache coming on, lifting on hand to rub it against his temples, "Geo..." He said in a warning tone though it was tough to try to intimidate a shark into doing what he wanted him to do.

As Foka was held out toward Forte the shark lunged again, catching hold of him around his tail, "Ah-ha! Gotcha!" He cried out in delight, holding firm even as his guardian tried to tug him off of Foka's tail. He was a tenacious creature no matter how young he was at the moment. Now that he had gotten what he wanted he wasn't going to let go very easily. Now to get this tail into his mouth he thought to himself, trying to pull it to his to clicking teeth.

Geo seemed to perk up, looking... far to happy over the way that the seal suddenly started to fight back against him. The fighting was... exciting, made him happier then a person should be over getting beaten upon. In return he started to swing as well, seeming to find it all as nothing more then a great game. When the two of them were broken apart by Noel he took a snap at the leg that had broke them up, "Jerk! We were playing! Idiot! Fool!" He spat out.

Forte gave a sigh, "I am sorry, sorry." The man looked increasingly embarrassed as Geo caused trouble for the other man but at least the seal was fighting back... though maybe that wasn't the best thing, Geo seemed to find more and more interest in him as he fought back which meant that he wasn't going to just forget about Foka now, "Maybe I should see about getting a pool set up in my back yard so I don't have to bring him to the ocean, would keep him from attacking people."

The shark's eyes went huge and he starred at Forte in a manner that looked betrayed, "No! No pool! No!" He told him, snapping his jaws at Forte, trying to bite at him but the man pushed a hand against his forehead to keep him from getting close enough to cause damage.

"Ugh... behave yourself Geo... I mean it. Or you will find yourself swimming in the bath tub the rest of your life." He growled.

Geo flailed a bit before he stilled and started to just glare death at his guardian.

Forte glanced over at Noel and gave him a reassuring smile, "Relax, friend. I am just making idle threats." He doubted he'd do that, half because keeping the kid in the bath tub would end up messy and half because other people had to use that bathroom and who knew if they would get mauled or not for trying to do so with Geo swimming in the tub.

Geo lifted his gaze and seemed to relax a little when he heard Forte say that he wasn't going to be banished to the tub. Of course then he felt the overwhelming desire to chew on Forte for lying to him like that... stupid adults! He turned his glare from his guardian to the seal tat was the cause of all of his problems at the moment to glare at him as well. At least he looked miserable too... a shame he wasn't crying again, at least then he'd of known that he won the game instead of being iffy over the outcome.

Geo's eyes got huge when he saw the seal go back into the water and he started to struggle in Forte's arms, wanting to get back into the water too! He could get his hands on that seal again and maybe get another chance at biting him. The more that he fought though the tighter Forte's hold got on him as it would appear the man had no intention of putting him down. What the... he wanted down! That seal was getting away!

Forte didn't even give him a look, watching Noel instead, "I was thinking maybe its time for us to head back home. Your boy will be able to be at peace if I keep him from going out after Foka." He explained, giving Geo a slight glance as the shark was flailing about, gnashing his teeth, and making grasping motions at the retreating seal, "Yeah, might be the best idea. Maybe if they cross paths again Geo will have better manners." He said, he had no clue if it would be true but he could hope for the best.

From the shark there was merely a snort, as though he wasn't going to behave no matter what...
