Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jad: Kajika whined and stared at the ground, his toe stubbing the ground faintly as he was dragged away from the ant farm and thoroughly scolded; he pouted, very unhappy. He hadn't done anything wrong! He was just trying what Teagan had - was there anything wrong with that? No, there wasn't, right? Oh well. Apparently, his mother didn't feel that way, so he simply stood there, head bowed and foot pushing at the ground sulkily.

"Kaji, why would you do that? You can't go around licking on things! You know better!" Jadaria's aggrevation didn't last long, though, and she smoothed her child's hair, not caring as he whined at the attention. "Look, don't do it again, okay? Just because someone else does something, doesn't mean you have to! Now promise you'll behave yourself from now on!"

"Okaaay..."

teh_l33t_kitteh: Ul put her arm around Teagan's shoulders, giving him a little shake, "Now cheer up baby, let's go on ah?" She turned to the other woman, waiting patiently until she was done dealing with her own son. "So, where to first? Catch a quick movie or head straight to the heart? No pun intended."

Even though Teagan was still pouting, he seemed to have calmed down a bit in her grip. "Fine momma" he said under his breath, pretending to be stubborn even though it wasn't really something he could pull off.

Jad: "Well... I don't know. Kaji's still a little hyper, obviously, so maybe the heart. We can save the movie after we let them wear themselves down a little, huh?" The woman grinned once she finished smoothing her son's hair, though her fingers still drummed over his scalp lightly.

Kaji whined, swatting at Jadaria's hand, but when it didn't go away, he frowned and pouted; after a few moments, he focused on the other Eden child, stared at him, then slowly began to make a face at him. His tongue slid out, and out, and out! The pink appendage touched to the bottom of his chin, and the boy's face scrunched up as though he'd smelled something nasty - and his mim didn't notice! Victory!

teh_l33t_kitteh: Ul nodded, "Alright, I think.. It's that way." She was pointing left toward an door framed by a giant plastic mouth. "At least, I think so, it could be a nutritional exhibit." Patting her son lightly on the head she continued, "But I think he could learn from that to. Maybe he'd eat something other than waffles."

"Blaaaeehh" He whispered, plastering his ears down against his head as he watched Kaji's face. Crossing his eyes, he put on his own best face, though it came no where close to being as funny.

Ul noticed it, but didn't do anything to scold him, "Come on frankenstein, let's learn something today."

Jad: "Maybe my boy could learn something. Kaji eats well enough - that's one thing. My kids love my cooking. Still, he could stand to learn about nutrition." Jadaria laughed, then tugged at Kajika's ponytail lightly. "C'mon, froggie-kins, put your tongue back where it belongs and march!"

"Yes ma'am!" The ruddy boy giggled, made a mock salute, then began to march - with straight limbs, in a very tin-soldier kind of way - towards the mouth that Tea's mom had pointed towards.

Jada simply shook her head and sighed at him as she walked.

teh_l33t_kitteh: Ul let out a little laugh and let Teagan run ahead, shoving her hands in her pockets as he zigzaged his way toward the door, "Teagan goes on these phases, last week it was nothing but chopped mango, this week it's waffles. Hopefully it isn't too bad for him."

"Bazzzzhhh~" Teagan started to go through, but stopped, deciding it would be more fun to wait. Well, not wait exactly, but see if he could climb up to the top of the mouth, a task that was surprisingly easier than it looked, teeth made good holds, "Momma! Momma look!"

She shook her head, "Definately not affecting his energy level."

Jad: "I can understand phases. Kaji does it with his habits; last week he didn't want to do anything but draw with my coloured pencils - which he can't, mind you, since I use professional level colours, but I bought him his own set. Yesterday, he decided he only wanted to play in the pool. Nothing but swimming." Jada shrugged as she stepped through the mouth, tilting her head up to look at Teagan. "Next week he'll decide he wants to pick vegetables, or make origami, or something else off the wall. At least it keeps me from having to do new things all the time, though. It's relaxing."

Kajika bounced through the mouth, then came hopping back out, pointing at Teagan with a squeal. He crouched, rear wiggling like a cat about to pounce, then jumped. He smacked the other boy on the leg, then dove away, squealing. "TAG!"

teh_l33t_kitteh: "I never get much relaxation with Teagan, it's always something with him or my other kids. I'd love to say his the most mischevious of all of them, but that would be a fib, he doesn't come close to the twins, or Ting, but at least Ting is grown." She could understand how much a break or at least a moment of peace would mean to a lot of the Eden parents, but chances are a thing like that wouldn't happen for her unless Ting stayed moved out, the twins grew out of their phase, and Teagan took a trip.

Teagan yelped, losing his grip on the frame. He fell back, landing with his tail partially stiff from shock. "Owww" he whined, petting the appendage gingerly for a moment before scrambling to his feet and after the other boy, "No fair!"

She held back a laugh, "And there, is why he amuses me."

Jad: Kaji giggled and squealed with delight, then proceeded down whatever hall was there and towards the exhibit. Of course, unless he smacked head first into it (which he likely would) he probably wouldn't notice. He switched from running to leaping on all fours; it was obvious his animal side, in the way he fled from the other boy.

"Well, I have Zonsondergang, who's a problem because he's still really animalistic. We're not even sure how he's how he is - only one of the Stardusts other than him have become, well... anthropomorphic, I guess. But he's grown - still learning, but mostly adult. Luc's... I'm not going to talk about him. He's..." Jada shook her head, pinching her nose lightly, then sighing at the boys.

"Think we should stop them?"

teh_l33t_kitteh: She watched for a moment as Teagan chased the other down the throat hallway, "I don't think so, they can't get lost in the body right, there's only one way out." Shrugging, she pulled a little remote out of her bag, "Either way, Teagan has a little tracking chip sewn into the back of his pants, so as long as they stay together it shouldn't be a problem."

By now Teagan had given up on catching the boy running upright and had taken to a four legged run instead. He was making little noises as he ran, sounding something like a mix between a chirp and a soft bark.
