Welcome to Gaia! ::

As she continued, Remy became certain that she was doing this on purpose. Typical girl, his sister would probably tease him like this too. His brow furrowed. He really, really wanted a taste though.

"I suppose smells could be deceiving..." He mentioned. "It's probably better to have a stranger try it first. That way, if it's not good you never have to see me again. If your friends tried it and it wasn't good you'd have to face them every time." Remy nodded his head firmly, but he was certain this treat was good.

Remy took the strawberry, hesitating for a moment, waiting for Soliel to say something else. He took in a deep breath of that sweet smell he had been smelling for a while now. Then, very slowly, he took a bite. He tried to keep a straight face, to hide the look of pleasure. Who are we kidding though, Remy wore his emotions on his tail.

"I don't think your friends would like this. I think it'd be best if you gave me the basket and then tell them that you had something for them, but it was stolen. Then they'll never know how bad they are." His lie was not a very convincing one, considering that he was taking bites the whole time he was talking.

Awesome, she was buying it. "Yes, yes you should be...Wait... What?!" Remy called out. This wasn't the plan. "That would contaminate the whole lake though, then your friends would be gone-ers for sure." Yes, that's right she needed to give him the basket so that the lake wouldn't get contaminated. He was such a clever pup.

Then he noticed the smirk on her face. Ohh... The boy sighed, flopping dramatically into the sand.

Didn't mean to lead him on... mmmmm hmmm. He could hear how hard she would be laughing if she hadn't covered her mouth. "Laugh all you want." His feelings weren't hurt, he could handle something like this easily. He actually was feeling so satisfied with the strawberry he could care less that he had acted so foolishly.

"I was going to tell you my name, but then you started teasing me." Remy responded dramatically. "But if you must know, it's Remy." He turned his face to the side so that Soliel could see that he was grinning and not all that sore.

Remy laughed, when he wasn't sniffing out picnic baskets... That was cute. "Mostly, terrorize my siblings. But I do a lot of running, just getting out of the house and catching a breath of fresh air. Not very often my fresh air gets contaminated with picnic baskets." He glanced at the surface of the water, rippling from the wind, but no naiad to be seen. "What do you do when you're not bringing goodies to pae you can't get to."

After Soliel tagged him, Remy was still for a moment, stunned. Was she calling him a monkey? He thumped his tail against the stand, he was no monkey. Although.... If it was for a strawberry he'd be whatever she wanted him to be.

In one swift movement the boy jumped up, she was a goner for sure. "You're going to have to run faster than that!" He shouted as he darted after her. That strawberry was as good as his.

Even though he could see Soliel, Remy had mostly been chasing the smell of the basket. He hadn't realized she had dropped the basket until he had stopped, standing next to the basket, and watching her run away. He frowned as he finally made the connection and resumed his chase. Clever girl.

True, that hadn't been Soliel's intention, but it had distracted Remy enough to put a gap between them again.

Into the trees, perfect, he was much better at running in the jungle than on the beach. It seemed like she was trying to throw him off by running over rocks and dodging trees, but wouldn't that wear her out too? Unless agility was her thing.

The thrill of the chase was exciting for Remy. "You can't slow me down!" He called out after her.
