Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cassian took the offered Nerf gun and continued to sit on Mehtab, only now dual-wielding the two weapons with a grin on his face. It was perhaps a little difficult to take him seriously when he had eggs all over his pants, however. It made him look much younger than he was, though. Innocent and childish - not a friendly, but somewhat serious murderer. "I'm gonna ruin your hair all I want," he teased, sticking his tongue out as he got up to his feet finally.

"I don't want to kiss, dude." he stated flatly. "I mean, I'm not totally against the idea, but 's too soon for any of that stuff," he shrugged. "I don't even know your favorite thing to eat yet and if I can't cook you something you like a lot I shouldn't be pinning you to the ground and snoggin' ya, yeah?"

For some, it would probably seem like rejection, but with a silver lining: No kissing yet.

Cassian looked at the two guns in his hands when Mehtab asked for his back.


Then he took off running without handing either back to him.

There was one significant problem with Cassian's plan:

1) He had short legs.

2) His running stamina was pure s**t.

3) There was more than one significant problem, clearly.

4) When not a senshi, Cassian's running speed left a lot to be desired.

It was probably only having the head start that gave him any sort of advantage, running as fast as his little legs could take him away from his pursuer (who was definitely now pursuing) and off towards one of the playgrounds, fumbling up the steps towards the top outpost near the slide. Then, panting (he was actually wheezing) he took aim.

Fired.

"Are you really going to tell a Greek how to go to war?" Cassian asked, "Especially one who is far more armed than you are?" he added, taking a moment to fire off another shot when Mehtab peeked his head around the side of his hiding spot. As far as advantages went, he had the upper hand. Two guns, a high place, and no reason to hide?

Score.

Still, he was ready to duck down the slides if he had to.

Cassian shrieked in surprise, stepping back as Mehtab reached out to get his legs, nearly kneeing his hand as a knee-jerk reaction. He shot at it once then took a step back closer to the slide, bumping his head on the lip of the top little 'hut' that surrounded the opening into it.

"Well I'm going to let you keep those arms, then," Cassian shot at him again before stepping back into the little hut and closer back towards the slide. Clearly it was his only way out, right?

Cassian eyed Mehtab, then looked over the side of the little slide-hut at what was easily an 11 foot fall. He'd taken worse.

So he jumped and landed with a loud 'THUMP' back on the awful wood chips of the playground.

Whoops.

Cassian hadn't considered that for all of the fear and worry he didn't have, he was about to worry his friend and he glanced up with an apologetic shrug at the older boy. He considered taking the hand, then looked at his hands, both holding Nerf Guns, then at Mehtab's hand...then his own...

Darn. He was going to have to give up a gun. He rested a hand - and one of his finely stolen weapons - in Mehtab's hand as he hoisted himself up with a cheery grin. "Dude, it's a wood chip. It isn't going to splinter me to death," he chuckled. "And that wasn't me going hard. I mean, I'm not saying I expect you to do death jumps but-"

He paused, looking down at his pants.

"I ripped my pants." His beautiful, beautiful egg print PJ pants had a tear in the knee and he'd started bleeding on them. Cassian didn't look particularly concerned, however.

"If there are parents out there that'd raise a fuss over a scraped knee on a teenage boy, I don't want to be their kid," he'd disappeared for a night and his parents still weren't helicoptering over him. Not out of a lack of love, simply because he'd given them the right story to ebb their concern.

Now how he'd repeat the experience ever? No idea.

Mehtab's last statement caused Cassian to raise his brows a bit. "Cassian-me or Minchir-me?" he asked. Because clearly, either was a possibility. Though Minchir was a bit more gung ho about the idea.
