 "N..." Jett paused, sounding it out in his mind, "...names." People had names that meant things. People had names that didn't. But they were all names, distinctions, differences. Right?
Raven considered that. Almost a month... well, in Gaia terms a month was a long time. But when one did what they enjoyed, time seemed to speed by, change into something... smoother. Sweeter, kinder. "I see," the girl smiled. "Well, taking care of children can ease the time away quite quickly."

 "... why?" Medusa asked, her eyes still trying to look into his, to find out what it was about names that was so important. A name was a name, to her. It's what someone called you!
"Yes. I wouldn't trade her for the world." She smiled, glancing to the other two before stopping before a large tree. Did they like to climb trees? She imagined Medusa had never tried before, but it wouldn't hurt -- just once, yeah?

"....meanings. Diff... differences," Jett shrugged. Names were specific-- satisfying. They were who you were, definitions. But he didn't have the spoken vocabulary to explain all the thoughts in his mind...
Raven noted the tree as well, glancing up, then back at Jett who seemed intently considering... something. "Think they want to play?" she asked Kanth with a slight grin.

"Ooh." Medusa said, though didn't really understand. Reaching up, she scratched the back of her head before stopping after realizing the grownups did, looking up at the tree as they did.
"I think so. Medusa's never climbed a tree before, though I think she'd be excited to try."

Jett's gaze followed Medusa's to the tree. He could climb it. He knew he could. With his arms alone, if need be...
"Neither has Jett, to my knowledge," Raven smiled. "Jett-dear? Care to try?" she suggested gently.

Medusa smiled expectantly. "Yew gon'climbh?" She couldn't climb the tree, she realized, as she tried to pull herself up on a very low branch. She just didn't have the strength.
"Don't push yourself, Medusa." Kanth smiled warmly.

Was he going to? He didn't know yet. He could. But was there reason to? Medusa seemed to have problems. But he could climb it if he wanted to. Should he climb it without her? "Maybe."
The boy reached up with two pairs of arms and pulled himself onto a low branch, considering the view and considering Medusa just below him.
Raven watched, somewhat wondering at Jett. She'd never before gotten a chance to be around someone with multiple limbs like that, so every movement which involved more than one pair of arms caught her eye.

Medusa looked awed, her grey eyes staring straight up at Jett. "Does it hurt?" She asked simply, mouth open.

((Sorry about my infrequent posting. xP I hate RL.)) "Hurt? No. Why?" the boy asked, considering the little girl. Was it... 'supposed to'? That wouldn't make sense. If it did, Raven-- Mother-- wouldn't have suggested it. But if it wasn't supposed to, why had the girl-- Medusa-- asked?

(( I think I'm worse. xD heart ))
A shrug was given from the girl. "Jus' wanted tew kno wut et felt liek." She'd heard her 'siblings' talk about it, but other than the fact of just knowing, she didn't know what the feeling was.

Hm. "Want... to feel... hurt?" Jett took his time piecing the words together. That was... strange. To say the least. "Or... go up tree?" The boy wasn't sure what Medusa'd meant-- he seldom understood other people though. He was too busy making sure he knew what he was doing.

A blank stare was given to him. She did, however, want to climb the tree, and raised her hands if Jett so wished to help her.
"Climb?" Medusa asked, mouth remaining open.

...it would hurt. To pick up the girl. Because her hands... had hurt things on them. But... Jett reached down with another pair of hands, moving to try to pick her up by her wrists, quickly drawing her up to the tree.

A look of glee crossed her face and soon she sat down next to him, legs dangling over one of the branches.
"Thanks." Medusa uttered, closing her eyes.

"...welcome," Jett shrugged, sitting up to look at Medusa. The little girl was... different than him. Couldn't pull herself up. But still could stay up, which was good.
