Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Maybe, It's possible. It is a very small world after all. Big yet very small when you think about it." Who was he to dictate what might be held in the future? His brow perked at the asking of his name. Shrugging inwardly, he thought first about not answering.. then again he also wondered what harm it might be to just answer.. after all how many were there in the world and how many could share the name? Plenty was the guess. "It's Mygith. My Daughter's are Marishta (Mari for short) and Cho-chan (so named by her mother...)" He replied once more, debating going out in the cold for something warm to eat and drink. He wasn't much of a cook and the thought of dragging a bowl with him wasn't one he fancied in this weather.

At the mention of dinner, his own stomach seemed to agree further with his online conversationalist. "Food does seem like something I need to be getting soon... I'll likely have to see if my neighbor can watch Mari while I head to the store to pick something up.. haven't had much time to get to it.. I was snowed in the other day..." He replied as he thought about checking with his neighbor. Things would be easier if Mari could go with him but even so in this cold... He shook his head trying to think how to get about this dilemma.

On one hand he'd just met this other on a computer.. on the other... The thought of not having to make a grocery run and attempting, and thus likely failing, an attempt to cook an actual meal sounded like a plan to him. He pondered this a while before nodding to himself. He'd let his neighbor know of this new person juuust in case things didn't go too well. One never knew what weirdos were out there in the world. He wasn't going to assume that this male was all sunshine and rainbows just like he wasn't about to assume that this guy wasn't something to be afraid of. He had a young one to think about and as much as he hated to admit it.. he cared enough that she didn't fall into harm's way. He gave his address, and directions. "Just turn left at the Orphanage and continue on about a mile and turn right on the dirt road with a small no trespassing sign. You'll see the house u pat the end of the road. It's the only house there..."

He thought about it. He could have asked for some things but in the morning he'd leave Mari with his neighbor and head to the store. Dinner would be enough for now for them. "Just you and yours and dinner should do. I'll do a grocery run in the morning providing a blizzard doesn't kick up." He stated and flicked on the porch light just in case they'd need it. "I'll see you in a while then." He added at last and stepped out side dragging in a small stack of wood and poking the fire back to a bigger life than it had dwindled to.

He heard the door bell ring and Mari answered it's ringing with a chime and a wiggle. Making his way to the door, he opened it to see who it was. "Hello? Soubi?" He looked out at the sky and cursed inwardly at the clouds. It looked like indeed another big storm would be hitting them, sadly this meant his planned trip to the store likely wouldn't be happening.

Stepping aside, he motioned them inside. "Looks like a large storm.. I'll bring in more wood from the wood pile in a bit. Why don't you two come in and shake the chill off. The fire's nice and warm."

Mari wiggled from the fire, her bowl making a scraping sound on the wood floor and her chopsticks clattering together with her chimes as she tried yet again to talk to her father.

He nodded in greeting as they both bustled in. "Thanks for the wood. I've also got a pile at the back door. Sure, sure.. help yourself." He said pointing into the kitchen."Kitchen's that way. And it's possibly a good thing... we might get snowed in again..." Having company was a bit of a new thing for him. rarely did he let anyone into his house let alone strangers he'd met online.

Mari chimed back in return at the other started conversing with him her bowl beginning to glimmer and sparkle as her father came over to investigate.

"Ah.. Ah.. AHCHOO!" He sneezed on the bowl and reached for some tissues. When he looked back, there where the bowl had once been was a small fluffy little kit neither penguin nor bear yet both all at once.

Looking up, she gave a small stretch and started testing her little limbs carefully. "Hi daddy!"

'Daddy' it was an odd thing to hear himself being called. Sure once upon a time he'd been anticipating the sound of such a thing but that had been so very long ago and now here it was that the unplanned little kit was calling him daddy just as the one he'd lost before never got the chance. The cold icy shield he'd wrapped around himself as a protective layer started to flake away. Though her mother and he would never be, a fact he was happy to know, this little kit needed him and was his to raise and love. Carefully, she sniffed at her, touching his nose to hers.

She wiggled some, excited to be seeing so many interesting noodles around, voices she'd never heard till this day and the voice she'd heard all her life all had faces to see. As her father touched his nose to hers, she gave a small sneeze, wiggled her nose and skittered clumsily around to snuggle into his side. "I grew I grew!" She said giggling and burying her face into the shaggy fur of her father.

Mygith chuckles a genuine laugh and smile that accompanied the sound. "Yes, little one you did grow.." He looked to the new friend he had seemed to have made and nodded. "She's definitely my little fluffy guin." The nick name seemed fitting the fact that only two of her four legs looked like her mothers seemed to validate the pet name further.

She nosed herself under him, pushing her head to peek out from between his front legs and look around. Giggling a little further, she eyed Hagan and wiggled her nose at him. Carefully, she squeezed herself through the front legs of her father and crept closer, half investigating, half looking like she was stalking playfully the other noodle.
