Welcome to Gaia! ::

Laughing, Chaco set the small boy down, "There you go." The toys in the bins had been collected based on what Chaco had thought were good, or Aylee (who had a weird sense of 'good'), or Konstantin, who had the most accurate view of what was best for small children, ironically enough. "Take what you want!"

Completely oblivious to what was going through Jesse's head, Chaco nodded at Sy, "Sure, I'll play." He knew a lot of the toys here were expensive, but well, Kunny got paid insanely well at his work. Assassin, y'know?

"What do you want to play, catch?" Because really, what else was there to play?

Pass? What did the cherry cordial child mean? Chaco had a vague idea, but still. Wasn't catch really just the same thing, just in the air?

Well, whatever. Nodding, Chaco sat down on the floor the same as Sy, assuming that was how it was played. "Okay, ready."

Chaco caught the ball, grinning. Yes, the child was easily amused, but he was only a toddler. That was pretty much the very definition of toddler. "Here you go," he said, rolling the ball back at Silas. It had been too long since Chaco had played with a small child. None of his siblings were babies anymore, which was both a blessing and... a bit lonely for a binder.

Yes, it was always good to be around people who took baths. Chaco knew that one well. Nearly everyone in the Shiroko Mansion took them regularly, except... Well, both Aylee and Wes tended to forget when they were busy making things explode (intentionally on the part of Wes, but not so for Aylee), and absorbed in their work.

Chaco passed the ball back to Silas with a quick toss of the arm, grinning. "Your turn."

Chaco blinked at the question and stopped the ball, forgetting for a moment to return it. Father? Well...

"Not... in this life, I don't. I have my mom, Aylee, but that's it. I used to have a father, in my... old life. But he passed away." He rolled the ball back as he spoke. He hadn't thought about his father in a long time, but even in the old kingdom he hadn't spent much time with the man.

The statement caused Chaco to stop again, looking over at Jesse when he heard the crash. The man looked unharmed, but... Chaco turned back to Silas, passing the ball back. "Well, I'm sure she's in good hands now, uhm..." He knew what it meant, but he was pretty sure the other Sin'aeis didn't. Time to go for the nice happy route, "My mother and uncle are actually half-merpeople, so I'm sure she's being treated well." Ignoring, of course, the fact that Aylee and Kunny were actually kicked out of their home when their older sister (a full blooded mermaid) murdered their father and a few other people. Cause she's just that crazy.

Chaco caught onto the cough, and grinned sheepishly, passing the ball back. "Uhm. Well, my mum hasn't been to the sea in a long time, so I doubt she knows her." He searched for other topics, "Do you know any other Sin'aeis like us, Silas?"
