Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jera smiled and trotted over to the sandbox. Carefully folding her legs she lay down and began trace her fingers through the sand. Though she had no recollection of how to write in this word she could still spell illigible messages from her own home systems and draw. Ahh but she did miss drawing, her young body did not however have the motor control nessicary to allow her to draw much more that largie curvy squiggles.


The house is faired sized and she tends to charge about it including up and downthe stairs, I'm thinking of moving" Nyx murmured while watching the children.

Jera eyed the words and then smiled at ein before appearing to look at the drawing in awe. Children were quite possibly the saddest thigns jera had ever encoutnerd. Although it did take skill to get the small bodies to create much that resembled anythiing,instant attention and approval should not be nessicary in order to do it.

Still it pleased the other child to draw and it kept Nyx from looking at her oddly so Jera continued to trace her fingers in the sand. Slowly creating the rune on her head and drawing a line from it to a cruedly drawn spaceship. There was no point to the excorsie it was simply a way to relieve frustration.

Nyx frowned" I have no clue what Jera did, Dixie never told me. Of course I probably don't want to know becuase from her moody attiude and the way she carries herself there was something dark about her. centaurs are not predatory being but jera has soemhow manged to portray and outward predatoryness to herself when she walks so I'm guessign she was an agressive and dangerous criminal. probably one I wouldn't want to mess with. I just hope I can reform her otherwise who knows what trouble she'll cause with a newer younger body.

Refusing to give up her comfertable position Jera pointed again the sandbox and began sweeping sand togeather to form a rather unstable pyramid. If drawing pictures was out surely they could waste some time creating things while Jera worked on improving her motor functions.

" Most children both disgree with what you name them and dress them in. What you do is demand that they where clothing but give them a choice. Say in the morning you show Ein a dress and a skirt and top and a pair ofpants and top and let her choose what to wear. She's still got to wear clothes but she feels like she's in control." havign helped riase enough children during her own childhood Nyx knew a trick or two when it came working with the little hellions. ' As for what the girls will like like when they are older, who knows but i hope for thier sakes they continue to look innocent."

" Sadly not but I grew up in an Italian neighbourhood on Earth . There were always kids about and I did a lot of babysitting, I've only been on Gaia for five years and Jera is my first child." Nyx had a sort of faraway and dreamy look on her face.

While Ein solidified the foundation Jera picked up a small twig and began to gently carve designs on the pyramid. This was actually fun and relaxing. In resposnse to Eins comment Jera blushed, it was so strange to be commplimented by a child, of course the fact that the child continued to think she was unicorn was odd but why spoil her fun.

"But of course you can handle more children, you may not like the idea of it but if you can handle one child you have the patience and gift to work with any amount of children." Perhaps it was simply because she herself loved children but Nyx belived that if you could feel compassion for one child then you had the ability if not the means to raise many.

Continuing to carve with one hand Jera sweapitn up soem golden top sand with the other and sprinked it over the pyramid. Since to make it that had needer darker sand from further in the sandbox it had lost it's light coloration and now the colour was back. Watching Ein create a second pyramid she laughed softly they could probably make a whole city of differently designed and sized pyramids.

Nyx snorted" sweety chances are by the end of this she'll have eaten some of the sand nevermind gotten it in her hair. Obviously silver hadn't had Ein for long or this universal childhood habit would be clear to him." besides children were meant to be messy, it why thier clothign is built stronger than adults."

" As for the sex talk" she grinned" technically children should be introduced to the concept at this age so they understand more and more as they grow if you wait untill they are older they may already have preconceived notions you'll have to tellthem aren't true or elaborate on and you probably wont want to do that. if's she forgotten about beign an adult she will need it" At least that was how Nyx had been raised, she was told what she could understand as she grew up.

Jera simply stared at Ein amused and flicker tail at her to tickle her face.

As long as she doesn't pull my tail everything will be fine Jera thought. she could touch it and get it sandy if the wanted but pulling was grounds for a nice solid kick it in head. Of course Nyx would object to that thought which was why it wasa good thing her guardian wasn't a mind reader.

" Me too, I don't see people as much as I used to know that I have jera, of course she's headed to day care soon so that ought to change things a heck of a lot." Nyx missed spending tiem with adults and havign actual conversations.

Jera turned to stare at Ein when she stopped petting her tail. Though she wasn't sure what Jera could tell something was wrong. Wondering if perhaps the girl would remember she pointed to the sky to convey that she was thinking of space.

" Figure of speach or literally on Gaia you never know" Nyx inquired.
