Welcome to Gaia! ::

Honestly, Stephan wasn't surprised that Gavin was ready before his mother, and when the boy hopped up next to him, he just smiled. But when he asked for his name, the frat boy seemed a bit embarassed. "Whoops, sorry little guy," score one for nervous stupidity. In his anxious rush last night, he'd forgotten that Gavin didn't know his name. "It's Stephan."

Stephan got to his feet when she came out, tucking his hands in his pockets. His hair was still wet, and he'd had time to shave, so he looked a fair bit more put together than he normally did. He'd left the car running, to keep the air conditoner on and keep it from getting too hot, so he didn't hesitate in heading toward the door, "Not at all, but I left the car on, so we should probably head out." Looking back over his shoulder, he added, "You look nice."

Toddler seating, good thing he'd thought of that. "Well, I have a carseat, but it's kind of girly," he laughed, jogging toward the car so he could unlock it and show her what he meant. "I mean, I don't think Gavin will mind, but it's made for a girl," he explained, pointing out the pink and white Barbie theme. It wasn't a big problem, unless Gavin made it one, but it did add a bit of humor to the morning. After all, he'd been planning everything he got for a daughter, not really thinking about the fact that he'd be spending a lot of time with Gavin.

At Gavin's reaction, Stephan couldn't help but crack up. Definately a boy. Of course, he didn't think about how the carseat would be uncomfortable for a child with wings, simply about the theme. "Guess he knows what he wants," he said, managing to stop laughing and catch his breath. Deciding to leave the debate to mother and son, he walked around the car and climbed into the driver's seat, instinctively turning on the radio to a fairly clean rock station.

"Yep." Making a mental note that backseat strapped in was best just incase he'd need to take Gavin somewhere in the future. Turning the radio down to a fairly low level, he shifted the car into gear and backed out, not paying much attention for traffic in the complex since everyone else seemed to be either home or already gone. When he turned out, there were a few cars on the road, enough that he had to wait before turning. "So Gavin, what do you like to do aside from playing with Hawk Man?" He asked, deciding some conversation would be better than silence.

"Social butterfly then huh?" He said, keeping his eyes on the road. In the short time since they'd been there, he'd sort of forgotten what the diner looked like, but he remembered there being a sign, so he wasn't worried. "Do you play any sports? Football, soccer, baseball?" Sports were good for a kid his age, girl or boy, taught good sportsmanship. That and it was something he could relate with him if he did. Play catch and all of that maybe?

"A puppy, that's got to be fun." Wait, someone had a dog in the building? So you could have pets? Interesting... "Pets are allowed in the building?" He asked, hoping to confirm it before he made any big plans. It was probably in those contracts he should have read. But oh well. If they could have pets, without any special negotiation or anything, then maybe he should get a dog himself.
