Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nio laughed nervously as the hat appeared out of thin air. Donny was briefly distracted from his new toy by the trick, and squealed happy. He reached out and dropped the egg into the hat. "Safe!" He squealed like a chibi umpire.

Nio eyed his son warily, before picking the egg out. On top of the egg was already a piece of paper. "Well, that seems fair enough. Looks like this'll be the first one.." He used his other hand to pick out the second piece, then handed the egg back to his son gently, before unfolding the two pieces of paper. "One says 300.. and one says 10. Huh, so 3000. That sounds all right to me. How about you?" He looked up at Sian hopefully, dropping the two pieces of paper back into the hat and pulling the appropriate amount from his wallet to give to her.

Donny now wanted a top hat to keep his new toy in. He pouted, making grabby hands for the hat itself.

Donny's grabbing motions stopped when the sparklies exploded, and his eyes widened. This was, in his opinion, one of the coolest days ever. He gawked at the woman, only to have his vision blocked by the top hat placed on his head. His hand reached up to push the hat upward, staring at her like she was a goddess.

Well, a goddess to a toddler at least.

He squealed happily and picked the hat up just enough to slip the egg under it, before putting the hat back on his head firmly and making sure it was on nice and tight, despite the fact that it then covered half his vision. "Safe~!" He chimed contently, and grinned that large, cocky little grin of his. "Thank-oo!"

"Sometimes too cute, I'd say," Nio chided softly, smiling. "But we keep him around anyway. All right Donny, let's go." He let the boy go, and it would seem that Donny would have dropped to the ground quite painfully. They were far too used to this routine however - Donny's wings flared out the moment he felt his fathers arms move, and he fluttered back around to climb onto the man's back and cling to him. It was his favorite way to travel.

Nio held his hand out for Sian, and if taken, would then do the same for Naida. "It really was nice to meet you both. I'm sure we'll keep in touch often."

"Oh, you will." Nio confirmed with a laugh, giving them both one last wave before opening the door and heading back home with the boy firmly attached to his back.

"Nice place, isn't it?"

"Donny thirsty!"

".. Don't even."

Donny pouted softly when his father looked at him in exasperation, but once he turned away the boy's pout turned into a mischievous grin. He was just too easy..

Sian was walking down the stairs, or rather stomping. She had just found out that there had been a chocolate bar in someone's pocket in the laundry, and well it just didn't bode too well with the dryer.

Maybe it was because she was so mad at her chocolate covered clothes, or maybe it was because she was also tired but she didn't notice that something was amiss until she got to the landing. However, once she was on the landing it hit her. Something felt different in the air... Kind of like when Naida was hatching...

Jumping down the last three stairs was all she could do to get into the living room and the two eggs as fast as she could. Just as she had suspected they were wiggling and cracking. "Aw ******** they're gonna make a mess."

Sian ran to get towels and clothes for the little Mysterians. She tripped on the way, falling up the stairs; but she was up again in a flash. She practically flew back down the stairs with her arms full of clothes and towels.

"Just in time..." A little hand was peeking out of Meru's egg. "C'mon little buddy!" The little hand swiped Sian across the face.

She sat there stunned for a few seconds. "I hate you already." She moved onto the other egg just as a face popped up. A cute little girls face. "YAY! You're a cute little..." Sian stopped as both of the Mysterians crawled out if their respective eggs. "Demons?"
