Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh dear! Tyyne looked a bit hesitant when Vance suddenly looked sad and worried, pressing her fingers to her lips and growing uncertain of if this was such a good idea. Would the pressure be too much? She didn't want to stress the poor boy out! She just wanted to reward him for being good for a whole month. But...but he was a good boy! She believed in him! How much trouble could one little Vance cause?

She watched as the cat ran off to do whatever it was that cats do, feeling a little better; it wasn't that Tyyne disliked the cat, just for some reason anything with teeth and claws made her rather uncomfortable...could you blame her? She was a girl but she was also a deer! Very delicate. Tyyne blinked and turned her gaze to Vance as he answered her question. Pool? They had a pool? Wow! Mr. Donovan's house was really big, huh? She liked it! So much bigger than Momma's. "Really? I'd like to see that!" She chirped, following Vance to wherever he was taking her. Oooh! His room was clean! Tyyne giggled.

"Good boy!" She praised him with a smile, realizing what he was doing. Point one to Vance. Tyyne walked further in to explore the room, spotting Mr. Bear immediately. She picked him up and hugged him, giggling. He was still so soft! "You've taken such good care of him! Is he behaving too~?" Tyyne looked at Vance with perked ears, curious if he'd play with her; she realized he wasn't a baby anymore just...it was hard to let that go...

Eugh, she understood the not going out on rainy days. Tyyne didn't mind it, really! As long as they didn't surprise her, if she was prepared and ready before getting rained on she was just fine. Tyyne glanced out the window for a moment with a quiet hum. It was starting to get darker out, but only because it seemed dark clouds were starting to form. And it was beginning to get rather windy. Oh dear, that didn't look good...they'd have to hurry if she was going to see Vance jump! And she did want to see Vance jump. She'd have to ask soon.

She listened to all the places that had all these different things that needed to be watched for. G-ghosts? And demons? ZOMBIES?! The living room she found harder to believe but...but...! Tyyne paled a bit in her face at the thought. Creepy. Did Mr. Donovan know? Tyyne glanced out the window again, hugging Mr. Bear tighter. "Maybe it'll rain today...? Oh! Can I see you jump before it rains?" Tyyne swiftly changed the subject from ghosts and demons, wanting to keep things cheerful and happy. No scaring her! N-nope! Not at all...

Tyyne squeaked and hurried after Vance, Mr. Bear still held snuggly in her arms as she skid across the living room, nearly losing her footing on the smooth flooring. The girl managed to catch herself on the side of the door, using one arm to hold Mr. Bear and the other to pull herself back up to stand properly. She'd nearly fallen running across that smooth floor! Oh...right, they had a pool. And it looked deep. Her face paled again, the memory of her near-drowning experience rushing back to her. She couldn't swim! "H-huh? Oh...gladly!" She assured Vance with a nervous laugh. Yes, she'd gladly stay as far from the pool as possible.

She hugged Mr. Bear tighter, her other hand gripping the side of the door. Tyyne watched with wide eyes as Vance began to ran toward the pool. Would he be okay? What if he messed up? What if he timed it wrong and fell in the pool instead of jumping over it? Could he swim? Ah! There he goes! Her eyes followed him the whole way, her jaw dropping and a tiny gasp of awe escaping her. Whoa...he...wow! "Vance! That was amazing!" Tyyne cried proudly, holding her arms out to him as he jogged back to her. Once he was close enough she hugged him tightly, nuzzling her face into his hair with an excited squeal. Her little Vance was incredible!

Suddenly there came a rolling boom off in the distance, one that sent shivers up the girl's spine and made her tense up against Vance. Wh-what was that? The sky flashed and she squeaked, holding him tighter. She was normally fine with thunder and lightning, just not when it snuck up on her like this. "U-um...I think it's time to go inside...why don't you show me your climbing?" Tyyne peered up at the sky as she said this, frowning as it got darker. Oh dear, she hoped it didn't last all night...momma would get worried! Unless Mr. Donovan came home and let her use their phone to call home and let her know she wasn't in the rain.

Vance was nervous, she could see that, and she really couldn't blame him. Did he dislike storms? Well...that was okay! Tyyne would be here to protect him! Because she's totally the best person to choose to be your savior and protector. Yeah...no. Suddenly he was taking off his shoes and then his socks, and she was worried. Why was he doing that? They were still outside! He'd get sick if he--oh goodness! Tyyne gasped and put her hands against her mouth, watching Vance with huge eyes. Whoa! He really could climb! "Ah..um...b-be careful, Vance.." She called out gently, watching him warily as he started to look for something.

And suddenly he wasn't in the wall but in the air, and Tyyne's heart just about burst from her chest. Was he falling?! Oh goodness! What if he fell like Bug?! He was higher up than she had been and she'd missed Bug who'd been so close there was no way she could catch Vance oh god if he missed and got hurt Mr. Donovan was going to be so--oh...oh he..was fine! Relief washed over her in an instant and she let out a heavy sigh, smiling sheepishly and rubbing at her face a bit until Vance was by her side again. She'd been so scared! "Th-that was impressive!" Tyyne ruffled his hair affectionately, squeaking again at a more forceful clap of thunder. Okay, okay! We get it! A rainstorm was coming. Her ear flicked as a single drop of rain hit it. Welp! Looks like they were running out of time!

"Oh dear." Tyyne murmured, letting Vance get his shoes and socks before she guided him back into the house as another few droplets of rain hit her. It wasn't pouring or anything yet, but the rain was definitely imminent.

Once Vance had his things she quickly followed him inside, closing and locking the sliding glass door behind her and watching the ground as it was covered with more and more rain drops. She blinked and turned back to Vance, surprised and worried by his sudden fear. Was he alright? Did he not..know what...

..O..oh dear. Oh no! Nonono! Tyyne gasped and reached out to pull him into a hug, petting his hair and cooing softly to her little frog friend. "Shhh, don't cry! It's okay! It's thunder and lightning...um...i-it's when the clouds make really loud noises and bright lights. It's okay, really! It happens sometimes." She kissed his temple and covered his ears shortly after seeing the flash of lightning through the windows. It took a few seconds for it to build up but the thunder did eventually rumble through, and the rain finally came down at full force. Tyyne gently dropped her hands from his ears once the thunder passed. "We're inside the house now too! We're perfectly safe~." Not that they weren't safe outside...just...anything to comfort Vance.

He tensed up and she smiled warmly, wanting to try and comfort him in some way while her hands were busy covering his ears. She pet his hair and rubbed his back, nuzzling her cheek against his head and doing just whatever it took to calm him down. She watched as he looked around to watch for flashes of lightning and listen for the thunder, giving him a little squeeze and looking around when he asked where Mr. Bear was. Ah! She had him...where had she put him? She hoped she didn't leave him outside. Tyyne spotted him by the doors and was very thankful to see that he was on the dry side. Thank goodness! She'd feel so awful if he'd been left outside! "Right here, Vance." She told him cheerfully, letting him go so she could go collect the bear. When she turned around and was about to return to the frog boy's side someone suddenly burst inside without warning and she tensed up, her eyes wide and trying hard not to scream for Vance's sake. Tyyne visibly relaxed when she saw it was just Mr. Donovan. Oh good! He was here and everything would be okay! Yay! She smiled proudly when she seemed to relieve his fears of Vance being all alone, walking to them and offering Vance Mr. Bear since he seemed to want him.

She watched the pair interact, giggling at Donovan's assurance that the storm was okay. "Uh huh! It's not so bad! At least we're inside, right?" It was just a little noise and a little light! She smiled and clapped her hands for Vance. Yay! She believed in him despite the fact that he shuddered when there was another boom of thunder. At least that one wasn't as intense as the ones before. He was a big brave Vance~. When Mr. Donovan turned to her she smiled and nodded vigorously, petting Vance's hair. "I'd be happy to!" She hadn't had any intention of leaving anyway. Tyyne was here to spend as much time with Vance as possible, and it seemed she'd be here even longer with the storm now coming down in full force. It worked out for them? Tyyne's ears flicked when she spotted another flash of lightning outside the window, frowning a little. Mr. Donovan was going out again? In that? Oh dear.

"Drive safe, Mr. Donovan! Oh..ah...my momma is home too if you want to go see her, I don't think my sister will be coming home with the weather like this." Meaning the alien was aaaall alone in her house during a scaaaaary storm. Though really Xai was perfectly fine, in fact she was cuddled up in her bed with a good (to her) book. Ha. Suddenly Tyyne seemed to remember something, turning to Vance again with a big smile. "Oh! You can show me your patrol, Vance!" That would make things better, right? If he had something to distract himself then the storm wouldn't be so bad for him!

Tyyne nodded to Mr. Donovan, still petting Vance's hair. "It's not a problem! I was going to stay anyway~." She came over to spend time with Vance and she was going to do just that come hell or high water! Unfortunately (or fortunately?) Tyyne was not exactly aware of what she'd just told him. Honestly, she just didn't want her mommy to be all alone in her house during the storm! That wasn't any fun. What if she needed help with something? Mr. Donovan could help her! She waved to the man as he left and then turned back to Vance when he got all serious, smiling and nodding to him.

"Who knows, maybe it'll be worse because of the rest of the storm too? Have to protect your house!" She chirped, putting her hand on his shoulder when he told her to stay close. "Okay! I trust you!" Yay! Vance could protect her~. She followed him up the stairs, albeit very slowly and awkwardly and probably even slowed them down a bit; Tyyne and stairs didn't bode well. She gasped softly and looked around the room as they entered, her eyes wide. Whoa! So many windows! That was so neat! Tyyne followed Vance to the closet without letting him go, finally peeking in over his shoulder as he opened the door. Hellooooo~? Any ghosts insiiiiide~?

...Wait, how would they know if there were ghosts? "What are ghosts like?" She whispered curiously to Vance, not taking her eyes off the closet. Wow! Mr. Donovan sure did have a lot of clothes!
