Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ai watched Dinnye closely before he snuggled him again, more tightly, "Its going to be alright, we will find the one your looking for." He assured him, nuzzling against his hair in a gentle manner. Poor boy he thought to himself, he wanted so bad to make thing better for him but he was sure that the best way to do that is to find his family. That Dinnye was following him was a good sign, it meant that he at least trusted him which was a good thing.

He paused for a moment to sniff thoughtfully at his new friend, he did have a nice smell to him didn't he? Ai hadn't noticed until now since the scent of flowers was so strong around them, it sort of smothered out the interesting smell that clung to his friend. He couldn't place exactly what it was though, smelled almost fruity. He wondered if it was a personal scent like what Ai had clinging to him that smelled lightly of cake or if it were some sort of perfume... it was a curious thought that made him wonder if they were similar in origin or not.

He gave another smile, "Let's see... we will continue to follow this path since it seems to be the main one in this garden and I bet we will find what we are looking for." He said in a confident manner.

That Dinnye was returning his affectionate gestures made Ai quite happy, it meant that the two of them were becoming good friends. Or at least that was what they were doing in his mind. He gave a happy sound and snuggled against his new friend, "I like you Dinnye, your so sweet." He said as he hugged him yet again before they were moving along once more in the search of the the one they were looking for.

"Lets see now... if I were a parent where would I be?" Ai mused, he was thinking that Dinnye's family would do the same that they were doing, looking for the other. Ai was very far off... not that the pale colored boy would know this.

It would appear as though just as poor Elliot and Dinnye were alike in both ending up sitting depressed in a corner somewhere Ai and Vanleia were lucky in that both of them had stumbled across those lost souls. The woman tilted her head to the side as she looked the man over who was doodling pictures on the ground in the dirt before she chuckled, "Are you doing alright there, Darling?" She asked, heading over to stand at the edge of the walk way as she didn't want to dare walking in the dirt in high heels, afraid that she might sink.

Vanleia's eyes went rather wide as the man started to tell her what was going on with him and his son. She tilted her head to the side before giving a little chuckle, "Its alright you know, this place is pretty small and my son is out playing among the flowers as well." She told him then held out a hand to him, motioning to him, "Come here, Darling. We will look for your boy together."

Men were always in need of help it would appear she thought to herself with a little smile. She would help him out and being that she was such a kind and caring person she wouldn't even charge him for her time since it was her day off.

Ai was looking from side to side, listening in carefully, and attempting to catch the sound of anyone else that was around. It wasn't exactly a place that would be the most popular when it came to people gathering which was nice. Less people meant that they were more likely to be able to hear their family members. He wondered if he found Vanleia if she would help them out in finding Dinnye's family? He bet that she would, "I think we should find Vanleia, I bet she will help us to find who we are looking for."

If only he knew.

The woman perked up when the man seemed quite thankful and gave his hand a little squeeze, "I am Vanleia." She said, lifting the man's hand up to give the back of it a little kiss as she was ever the flirt due to her job, "Come on, Elliot. Lets see if we can find your missing boy." She led the way down along the path, finding it fun to be helping someone out in such a manner. The man was cute in a sort of... puppy dog manner she thought to herself.

"What does your boy look like? And what is his name?" She asked of him, it would be good for her to know what they were looking for.

Ai glanced over at Dinnye and smiled, "Vanleia is the name of my guardian, the one that I live with and takes care of me." He explained, looking around, "Its normally a little easier to find her because I know the scent of her perfume but the flowers here make it hard to pick it out."

"Its alright though I am sure that we will find the ones we are looking for." He was certain of it because it meant making the cutie that was Dinnye smile and him smiling and looking cute would make Ai's day.

She gave a little chuckle as he looked the man over, all embarrassed and adorable, "You are a cute thing, aren't you?" Vanleia purred sweetly then started to lead him along as they sent in search of the boys, "Ai! Dinnye! Come on out, Darlings!" She called out, her voice carrying even though she wasn't shouting in any manner, her voice just seemed to carry very well.

Ai smiled at Dinnye when the boy smiled at him, then paused for a moment, "Hrm?" He tilted his head to one side then nodded his head, "Ah! Do you hear that? That is Vanleia's voice!" He told the woman in an excited manner, looking at his friend before he started to lead the way forward toward where he heard the voice, "Vanleia! Over here!" He called back, quite happy that it had seemed pretty lucky. Just a bit of searching and he was able to find her! Well... at least he was able to wander in the right direction and was able to hear her voice.

Vanleia perked up before looking over at Elliot, "Ah, there we go. You hear that Darling Elliot? That is my boy. Come on then, lets go."

It didn't take to long for the adults to find the two kids, and Vanleia seemed pretty happy to be able to find the boys so easily. She hoped that this would help the poor dear as Elliot had been looking so sad and upset that she just wanted to hug him and sooth him. Of course she doubted that he would very much like to get snuggled by some random woman that found him all teary eyed in a garden.

Ai walked over to stand alongside his guardian, watching the manner in which the pair were snuggling and nuzzling against one another and found himself a little bit jealous. Oddly though it wasn't so much that the parent and child were hugging, wasn't that he was jealous that he didn't have a good parent. Vanleia was a nice woman and he didn't really care that he didn't get hugs, what he wanted was to get snuggles like that from Dinnye.

He stepped closer to Vanleia to take her hand, "That is Dinnye, I rather like him." He told the woman with a grin.

The woman starred down at him for a long moment before giving a little chuckle, "Is that so? I would never have guessed." The boy seemed to fall in instant love with everyone that he ran across that was of his type. She was starting to think that making a child appear from Wedding Pocky was a rather dangerous idea since he could get himself in trouble with his crushes. It just meant she had to keep a close eye on him was all.

Vanleia gave a bit of a chuckle, "Its no problem at all. In fact I was glad to help where I could." After all he had seemed like he needed so much help and so much love at that moment where he was all alone and his son lost. That he had kissed the back of her hand seemed to please her to no end as he was soooo cute! She gave her best smile before looking down at Ai who was watching the man that was thinking him for finding Dinnye.

Ai's lips curved up into a smile and he gave a bit of a shrug of one shoulder, "I had fun walking around with him and taking care of him so you don't owe me anything." After all he'd been happy to just hang around with someone as adorable as Dinnye. When the bronze haired boy pulled him over for a hug Ai couldn't help but to respond in turn, snuggling against him, and gave his cheek a kiss, "Be careful alright?" He told his friend, he would save Dinnye again in a heartbeat if he could but next time the cute boy got lost Ai might not be there which worried him.

Hopefully this would be a learning experience he thought to himself, getting in as much hug as he could before he had to step back so as not to smother the other pocky boy who smelled of melon.
