Welcome to Gaia! ::

Daniel nodded, listening attentively as he considered Briar's words. It did sound fun, and he grinned at the description of nice, hot showers - especially with two older brothers who used it all up, and he considered this a Good Thing.

At the description of his mother, Daniel looked sad briefly - easily taken as sadness she wasn't around much - which was partly true, and partly, due to his nightmares of the future's horrors.

"Moms do that a lot." He admitted. "Mama does it to my brother, baby sister, and I a lot."

Which was weird - his mother was American to his father's Mexican, yet she seemed to get cold far more easily.

Maybe it was a girl thing.

"Maybe girls get cold easily?" He shrugged.

Daniel nodded, grinning a bit.

"I should go too. My mom might worry." Daniel looked sheepish, grinning and shrugging happily.

"I'd like that. Maybe we can talk again sometime?"

It was a shy-ish offer, if only because Daniel was used to picking fights, not picking friends, but it was nice and easier than it seemed, and the boy felt cheery with the thought he might get to know someone better.
