Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was a fairly warmish winter day today, causing the snow that had slowly been building up outside to begin melting. It was kind of sad to see the snow melt, really, because it seemed like so many oppourtunities for playing in the rare white stuff and building with it were just... melting. Well, for a kid that was the reasoning. After all, how often did they get a chance to play in snow? Not often, unless they lived way up North where it snowed all the time.

As a result of this event, Flitch's step was considerably less bouncy than it usually was. Indded, he seemed to be trudging along, the usual pleasant smile that always seemed to be hovering on his face replaced by a small frown. He was upset to see the snow melting, for he'd only gotten two good oppourtunities to play in it. He'd had other grand plans, but it seemed that the sudden rise in temperature had thwarted him from fulfilling them. Damn.

So now he was out walking, not really paying too much attention to wherever he was going. Now that he was older, Anvion allowed him to go most anywhere he wanted, so long he stayed out of known dangerous areas. Simple enough. So now he was just walking, not really doing anything but silently mourning the loss of snow...

(Chael's gonna be the youngest one here. XD)

It was another hectic day in the household of Freize, and so Chael was allowed outside to play for a bit in order to escape. Freize believed that the little ones needed some freedom from the insanity. Of course, he wasn't allowed out so far away from home without someone watching over him. His older 'brother' Spiro was settled a decent distance away, writing busily in his book.

Chael toddled through the snow with glee. Sure, it was melting, but that minor factor could never be enough to bring down a baby. Besides, their yard had yet to melt so badly that there was mud. He made it a good distance before falling to his knees, gloved hands immediately going into the snow. It was his first year seeing snow, and he had been unable to get enough of it. Whilst merrily tossing the white stuff about, he happened to look up. He spotted two older Sin'aeis, his face brightening. He recognised one of them. Sure, he looked a bit different, but... THAT was definately the same boy he had adventured with before. "F'itch!"

He beamed happily, and prepared himself to either crawl or teeter his way on over.

Wow. So it seemed that he wasn't the only one out and about today. A wide grin spit across Flitch's face as he waved enthusiastically to both Ani and Chael, his downtrodden mood dissapating.

"Heey!" he called out, laughing a little at Ani's questioning manner. "Yep, it's me. I got bigger!" Pushing his glasses up his nose, the blue-haired Sin' trotted over to Ani, but making sure that he was close enough for Chael to get in on the conversation, too. Chael wasn't too far off; hopefullly the infant could manage to crawl over here. if not, Flitch would happily carry him over.

He was about to say more when he noticed a boy waving at Anisia. Flitch didn't know this one, so he gave a small wave of greeting. "Hello~"

The little guy moved to crawl on over, coming to a stop beside Flitch. Phew. That was a long crawl for a baby. He smiled brightly up at the girl, and then turned it to the unfamiliar boy. He lifted a hand and clenched and unclenched his fist- a small wave. "Hi!" He kept still for only a moment or so before he moved to an unsteady stand, clutching lightly onto Flitch's pantleg in order to keep upright. "F'itch big!" He noted, wing-ears twitching slightly. He hadn't seen Flitch in a good long while, and last time he had... The fish boy was most certainly not this big.

"Whassat?" He pointed up at the glasses, having never seen anyone wearing glasses before. They managed to hold the little guy's attention for a matter of seconds before his eyes turned back towards the new people curiously.

"I Chael!" He noted after a moment or so, smiling towards them. He did so like meeting new people, after all.

"I have to wear glasses now because I read too much and now they can't focus properly on far away objects," Flitch explained. "These help my eyes focus my eyes.

"And yep, I got taller," he added with a laugh, bending down to pick up Chael. Well, he only got a little taller. Compared to most other kids his age, Flitch was still fairly small. But that idn't seem to bother him in the least.

At Lyrus' introduction, Flitch smiled and returned the nod. "Nice to meet you, Lyrus. I'm Flitch. Don't think we've met before..."

Chael made a pleased noise as he was picked up- it didn't matter that Flitch was short for his age, either. He was still tall to the baby. "Aah!" He took this time to investigate those wierd 'glasses' things, just lifting a tiny hand to pat the sides before seeming satisfied. "F'itch nee' ta see?" He asked about the glasses before turning his head back towards Ani. He smiled merrily towards her. "Ani!" He echoed, as if it helped remember it better or to show he understood.

He looked up to Flitch again, "F'itch fwens wif Ani?" He had learned how to talk early, mainly because he was an eager to please sort and Freize was big on teaching his kids. He wriggled his fingers in his gloves before shifting a bit to stare at Lyrus. "L'rus." He said, in the same manner as he did 'Ani'.
