Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kiro couldn't help but grin a little. Why did they all want to call him 'Mister'? Pueblo had done it as well... Hmm...

He nodded to Delta. "Nice to see you too Delta-sama." He didn't know if she knew what '-sama' meant, but he was sure she would ask if she didn't get the jist of it.

Kiro then glanced towards Sydney, then looking to Sy as she sped through. Then he looked back to Sydney again, wondering absently what she was carrying all the cloth for. "You alright with those...?"

Tsukai, in the meanwhile, had pushed himself down from his chair and was watching Delta quietly. It was almost a curious stare as he watched her interact with Kiro. He'd never seen anyone act like that before...

Kiro smiled and nodded a little as Sydney spoke, visibly embarassed by the thought of it - but trying hard not to show it. Trying to avoid discussing the comment he addressed Delta. "Where I come from '-sama' actually means Lord or Lady. So, I thought you'd like to be called '-sama'." He smiled a little. Then his ears twitched as he suddenly thought of something.

"Actually, Delta could you give me a hand with something?" He then glanced towards Sydney apologetically, his ears leaning back. It was wierd with the children, you never knew who to ask the permission from - the child or the guardian. "That is, if you two weren't on your way anywhere?"

Kiro grinned a little as he glanced over Delta to look at Sydney. "Children have their buttons. You've just gotta know what they are." He'd learned this with Tsu already. Talk about doing something like it was a grand adventure, and he'd be right there with you. He imagined telling Delta she's a Lady would make her more agreeable to whatever you suggested next.

Smiling, Kiro squatted down so he was more her height, subconciously balancing with the end of his tail. "See, Delta, I need find out a few things about you. Things like your height, what you weigh and so on." Standing straight again, he said, "so, if that's okay with you I'll go and get one or two things for that." Without giving her a chance to protest, the neko-jin disappeared in search of his notebook, and his other trusty tools.

This left Tsukai alone with Delta and Sydney. Grinning suddenly, the Aerandir waved - the action was broad, as though he wasn't waving to anyone in particular. "Hi! I'm Tsukai!" he announced, the bell in his hair jingling a little as he bounced on the balls of his feet, the not-waving hand held behind his back.

For a second, Tsu just stared at her hand. What was she doing...? He was tempted just to poke her hand, to see what she did about it. However, having had a fight with Hope that morning - he assumed poking Delta's hand wouldn't be the best thing to do. Maybe he was supposed to... He reached out and took her hand, in a handshaking movment. He remembered a story from somewhere had said that the characters "shook hands". At the time he'd assumed they'd stood and literally shook their hands at each other. But perhaps this is what they had meant.

Presently, Kiro returned with the trusty tape measure, scales, and notebook and sat on the floor near the two Aerandir. "Okay guys, I need to measure you two. Stand up straight and tall for me."

Obediently, Tsu stood on the floor with his feet flat and his arms down by his sides and let Kiro run the tape measure from the floor to the top of his head. Absently, Kiro noted down Tsu's height before looking to Delta. "Your turn Princess."

Kiro ran the tape measure up from the floor to the little girl's head. He was nothing short of amused by how princess-like she was acting, but strove to hide it. He couldn't imagine she would be very impressed by being chuckled at.

That done and noted, the neko-jin then pulled the scales a little closer. "Now I just need you two to get on the scales - one at a time," he specified as he gave Tsu a stern look. He didn't put it past the little guy to try and hop onto the scales alongside Delta.

Tsu hopped onto the scales, watching the small needle swing from side to side a few times before settling on a number, which he watched Kiro copy down. There was a set of letters Kiro hadn't shown him, he noted, crouching down to stare at them.

"Come on Tsu, it's Delta's turn next."

With a disappointed expression, Tsu got off the scales, pulling his tail around from where it lay draped on the scales. He wanted to know what the numbers meant!

Kiro watched the needle settle on a number, before jotting it down in his notebook. "There we go, all done," he gave Delta an appreciative smile. "Thanks Delta, you've really helped me out here." Feeding her ego wasn't going to do any harm, he decided.

"And me!?"

"Yes Tsu, you helped me lots as well," agreed Kiro with a grin and a nod. He playfully reached down to pull the small Aerandir's tail. "You know I appreciate that too, don'cha?"

"Yeah!"

Syrenrei entered the centre first, opening the door for her daughter. Even if Delta could open the door (it was too heavy for her, she claimed), the idea of having it opened for her as if she was royalty was too glamorous. Thus, Sy had become the official door-opener. Delta strode in behind her, putting one hoof in front of another. She had learned that was the proper way for a lady to walk. She needed more practice because she had to look down to make sure she did it right.
