Welcome to Gaia! ::

Now she was confused. Xai had parents too, though hers were still alive, and Tyyne and Evari lived with her...so what if someone had no parents that didn't mean they couldn't be a parent themselves! Tyyne still felt Wei was a parent-figure in Bug's life, even if she called her a boss. Clearly this was just a nickname, like how Evari called their mother Xai. "I..I see..." She still wasn't convinced.

"Wow! You do want a lot!" Tyyne laughed at Bug's confidence, smiling brightly. She was so cute! The deer girl finished the cake and put the plate on the counter, folding her arms on it and resting her head on them. "I hope you can start this family then! Whoever you have your family with will be very lucky! Why so many children though?"

"Umm..." Did she? Tyyne blinked and looked honestly surprised by the question, tilting her head and staring at the counter with a thoughtful little hum. She did like taking care of the children she met and making sure they were happy and safe...her own family would be nice...but who could she have a family with? She didn't know anyone who she thought of in that manner. She'd met how many boys? Quint...no. Vance? No, no. Definitely no. Deimos...no...Ryuusei? No. Leviathan?

...She would like a bottle of bleach for her brain now.

But maybe, yes. Yes she did want children. But a lot? How many was a lot? "Maybe? Ah...I'd...probably be happy with just one to start. But I don't...know how I'd even..." Tyyne looked down at herself and frowned. How would she even make or have babies? She knew how they were made, Xai had explained it to her in ways Tyyne didn't understand (Evari was nice enough to put it into simpler if not very crude terms), and she really didn't see herself making babies with a boy anytime soon. Who would want to do that kind of thing with a girl whose body wasn't completely humanoid? How would that even work? Tyyne didn't want to think about it. She looked up from her own body to watch as Bug got quiet and distant, tilting her head. Was she alright? She seemed so out of it... "Oh, uh..I just asked why so many." Tyyne could count pretty high, how high could Bug count? If she wanted more than that.

Well, yes. One to start. Tyyne was still young! And Bug even younger...she was amazed that Bug already was sure she wanted so many children! Then again Bug hadn't actually told her how many children she wanted, just that she wanted 'more than she could count'. But didn't know why? Tyyne blinked. "I see. Well that's a nice plan to have..." She'd call it a plan since Bug seemed so set on it. Tyyne smiled warmly at her little friend, playing with a bit of her hair.

"Is there anyone you'd want to have a family with~?" Tyyne asked with a little giggle, tilting her head to the side. It was about as close to gossip the girl could get, and while she knew not both a mother and a father were needed to raise children considering she herself only had her momma, but if someone wanted to start a family with babies of their own they couldn't do that by themselves! They needed someone who loved them, right?

Tyyne's ears perked and she leaned in a little to try and hear what Bug was saying. Faris? Who was--oh wait! Evari said that name sometimes, saying she adored her and...Bug wanted to start a family with her? But Faris was a girl! Two girls couldn't do things like that. It just couldn't work! Right? She'd have to ask Evari, she was older...she'd know things like that, right? She didn't recognize Nate...or Ama...or even Harry. Ohhhhh~? Vance? Tyyne giggled when she heard that name, smiling until she heard Ryuusei's name and then saw Bug...

...Wait...

Was...was Bug blushing? Tyyne's eyes widened and she just stared at Bug, completely shocked. But could you blame her? Last time she'd seen Bug and Ryuusei within any kind of distanced together Bug seemed to hate him! And now she was...blushing? Why was she blushing? "What about Ryuusei, Bug~?" Tyyne asked gently, doing her best to look curious but not overly curious. Not as curious as she really was. But juuuuust enough. And she was also trying really hard not to look excited. Did she succeed? Well...a little...okay, yeah...no. She failed at it big time.

Awww! She was blushing even more now! That was adorable! Tyyne couldn't help but giggle and nearly squealed, pressing her fingers to her lips and failing at hiding a fox-eyed smile, failing quite miserably even. "That's very sweet! I like Ryuusei, he's adorable. How is he doing?" This was so fun! She'd never had a chat like this with anyone before! This was what girl friends did together, right? Tyyne didn't know very many girls, just her sister, her mommy...Bug and Enyo? Wow! She needed to get out more and meet more girls her age she could become friends with.

"So...you'd start a family with him?" Tyyne asked in a sudden daring moment of boldness. How would that even work? Ryuusei was a little snake-like dragon! And he was teeny tiny! How did...how could they even...

...Tyyne didn't want to think about it.

"His dad..?" Tyyne blinked, looking surprised by this bit of news. Ryuusei had told her he didn't have a home...was that why? Because he couldn't find it? That was just awful! She went from looking excited to looking worried, missing the look Bug was giving her for now. She'd have to try and find Ryuusei soon, offer up whatever kind of help she could to help him find his dad. Everyone needed a family, everyone deserved a wonderful family to take care of them and to love them and make them happy. Why wouldn't Ryuusei know where his dad was...?

And there was another thing that threw her off. She giggled and tilted her head a bit, giving Bug the 'seriously?' look. "Well yes, he is a very tiny little dragon after all. He's shorter than even me. I imagine he's shorter than everyone else as well...and yes! It's very cute! When we were together he ate so many cupcakes and cheeseburgers he got all big and round like a ball and couldn't fly or walk! It was adorable!" It wasn't so bad since she was more than happy to carry him wherever he wished her to. Tyyne had no idea of any of the physical changes Ryuusei had been through recently.

That was an interesting name. Ermingild. She had no idea Ryuusei had a daddy! But why was he living at the park then if he had a daddy? It didn't make any sense. But a tall guy with glasses...there were many tall men with glasses. Ugh! Tyyne looked unsure for a moment if only because she wished there was more to go off on description-wise, but she'd do her very best to help!

Wait, that was strange. Tyyne blinked and just stared at Bug. No...no, that wasn't Ryuusei. Maybe they weren't thinking the same one after all? But how many Ryuuseis could there possibly be in the world? Still... "Nnnnno...Ryuusei...is a tiny little dragon with a cloud of floating little stars...and...but..." But that didn't make any sense. Tyyne's brow furrowed as Bug even gave his height, tilting her head. She was having a hard time believing this. How could Ryuusei, tiny little Ryuusei who became the shape of a beach ball when he ate too much? That couldn't possibly be the same Ryuusei.

...Could it?

Tyyne frowned, looking very confused now. "He's...different now?" Not that it was a bad thing! She'd like him just the same, just this was...different. And very sudden. Bug had gotten bigger, Evari had gotten bigger, even..Leviathan had gotten bigger and grown wings but they were always recognizable. Ryuusei? Weird...how many of her friends had changed?
