Welcome to Gaia! ::

When the two of them had turned the corner, a couple blocks from where Zyanya and Hinder werre sitting, it was basically a 'ready, set, go' moment in Valens's mind as he started forward toward them at a dead run, jumping over a couple things here and there, dodging around the few people on the sidewalk, racing toward his friend. He wanted to be there and be there now so that he could talk with Zyanya, quite excited when she called for him and they decided on a place to meet that Ellie knew well enough to lead them to it, "Zyanya!" He called out as he got closer, waving one strong arm in the air excitedly.

Behind him Ellie brought up the rear, sighing a little as she rushed along after the horse boy. Must he run everywhere? They could be civil and just walk she thought to herself but at the same time knew that it meant that it would take that much longer, a few more minutes most likely, for them to reach the other two, and Valens wasn't having that. He was the sort that seemed to live more in the here and now and as such waiting wasn't exactly his strongest suit, especially given how long he'd waited for Damaris before it seemed to finally sink in that she wasn't going to call. It was something the horse boy was a little hurt by but after having a good talk with him she hoped that he would recover. He was just a boy after all, alright a teen but still young, so he didn't need to get himself mated off already she had told him. He still had time! She could only hope he followed her advice just as she was following the advice Hinder gave her.

Sliding to a halt before the mantis Valens gave his usual goofy grin before lifting a hand up to push it through his hair to get it out of his face and tucked behind ears, "Hello again." He greeted her, ears turning forward, grinning again.

The Silver came to plop down next to Hinder, "Hello and good day, Hinder." She greeted him, taking a moment to catch her breath before she gave her best smile to her Chromatic friend. He was likely the one she saw the most and spoke with the most wasn't he, making him a prospect for being her best friend at least she thought for a moment, tail giving a momentary swish behind her at the thought.

It were as though the mantis girl were a mind reader! That or she had just spent enough time with the horse because it wasn't long before she was scooped up into a hug... that was until he looked at her when they were face to face so closely before he blinked a couple times, "Zyanya?" Was it just him or did she seem a little... how to put it... lusterless at the moment? She was normally a moment vivid and loud person, wasn't she? Today she didn't seem to be as much so and he set her back down on the bench before plopping down next to her, ears turning forward as he starred at her as though he were trying to figure out what the problem was. He knew that something was up but what it was he wasn't quite sure... all he knew was that he didn't quite think that they were going to be working out today.

"So... what's up?" He asked, knowing the moment that the words were out of his mouth that they weren't the smoothest ever but he couldn't call them back now that he'd said them he thought to himself. Oops, he really wasn't quite good at this was he? Try again he told himself, "Having a bad day?" Maybe someone was teasing her? Or it might be a girl thing... he knew little about their issues but his father complained about such things from time to time, labeling any and all of Lamiah's bad moods as a 'girl thing'.

Ellie looked over at Valens as he seemed to be flailing about when it came to the social situation he found himself in, shook her head, then looked over at the... bush that Hinder had? She blinked a couple times, taking in the fact that the roots still bore dirt in them, before giving a bit of a smile, "They are nice, thank you." A gift was a gift, perhaps this was a Green Dragon's version of a bouquet she thought to herself as she smelled them, took the bush from him, and set it at her side.
