Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Come on, kid, you'll like it!" Chesai was answered by a deep frown as the child in her arms squirmed slightly, only to freeze instantly as he noticed his garments getting wrinkled. Upon the realisation he narrowed his eyes and frowned deeper at his 'captor', "Oh, come on now, don't give me that face... you'll like it in the meadows!"

Somehow, Lunden very much doubted he'd like these so called 'meadows'. Thing was, they were outside, and he'd long since come to terms with the fact that outside meant dirt. And dirt meant he was bound to get dirty. He hated getting dirty. At the thought, the boy, allowed his tongue to stick out of his mouth ever so slightly, into what could have been seen as a pout.

His Daemon however, was perfectly at home where she was, and though she clung to her Forgoten's shoulder, her small nose wiggled in the air. Oh gosh, she liked this. In fact, she also rather liked Chesai! The phoenix girl always had something in mind. Something or other, and Passions very much liked that; she'd tried on occasion to spread her paws and encourage the girl to pick her up and pet her, alas, Lunden had never allowed for it. He was always swift to snatch the rabbit if anyone so much as tried to look her the wrong way.

Lunden was no fun.

Finally reaching the meadow, Chesai placed the child on the floor, "You're heavy, you know?" she received yet another frown as the child flopped himself on the floor, crossed his arms over his chest and did little else. Passions on the other hand jumped from here to there, sniffing and twitching in excitement.

That is, till she came face to face with a fox. Or... it looked like a fox anyhow. Except it had more tails than it should have. Something in the back of her mind must've triggered some primal need to run, for no sooner had she come face to face with Creature, that she bolted at top speed, jumping and running as best as her cute little bunny feet would carry her. It was only when she reached Tom's side that she practically dived into his lap, hiding herself there.

From across the field, Lunden's eyes widened and his mouth opened, but no sound came out. Oh good GOD.

They were touching her.

The fact became clear to both Lunden and Passions at the same time, and where the small rabbit was perfectly content with the situation, snuggling deep into Tom's grasp, nibbling at his flesh here and there, Lunden was far from 'okay'. It was amusing to note, that the child was in a near panic; he pushed himself off the ground as best as he could, eyes wide in terror, never noticing he'd gotten his hands full of the aforementioned dirt.

"Lunden?" Chesai watched the child wobble-rush towards the opposite edge of the meadow, blinking slightly; she'd taken her gaze off of the child and daemon for a mere two seconds to stare after a butterfly. How much trouble could they get into in a mere 2 seconds? Apparently, enough of it to drive the usually calm and collected boy into a panic, "Lunden!" She was going to put a beeper on that damned rabbit's pelt. Or a bell. Somehow the phoenix just KNEW this was all Passions' fault.

Making a dash for the stumbling forgotten, Chesai let out a sigh, "ASK me for help next time!" the boy could only point silently towards his Daemon was he was picked up, "Yeah! She's ours!" letting out a second sigh, the Legend walked towards the... was that a fox? Dude, it had wings... The hell? "Thank you... she's actually his," setting Lunden on the ground, she watched as he stumbled forward, landing on his knees and hands, making a pathetic grabby motion towards the rabbit.

Passions seemed perfectly fine where she was however, and turned to blink at the other forgotten, before smiling at Lunden, <> If possible, Lunden paled further. Oh god, he was going to be sick.

Tilting her head, the Phoenix Legend placed her arms behind her back, her fire-marked hair cascading over her eyes, "Is that a Daemon?" she asked bluntly, motioning towards Creature before arching a brow at Ende. She'd only been reborn a few months back, but since coming to live within Shinzu, she'd learnt what Forgotten were; they were.... interesting, the bunch of them, "Lunden's rabbit is a Daemon, you know," she grinned slightly, "I think that's why he's so rattled up; he's never let anyone touch her. Her name is Passions, he's Lunden, and I'm Chesai," her wings spread slightly on her back as she tilted her head to the other side.

"He's... uhm," the girl seemed to pause for a brief moment, as if pondering something, then leaned into Ende, whispering the rest, "Uh, he gets a lil weird when others touch him. It took me a while to get him to trust me enough to hold him, and I'm his sorta-sister," still leaning in, she placed her hand to her mouth, cutting it, as if by doing so, the child would not hear her, "Daddy told me that Passions is like part of his soul or something, so... if Lunden doesn't like others touching him, someone touching Passions is kinda like... going a little beyond normal touching. Something like that," finally taking a step back, the phoenix girl smirked, "It'll do him good though, I'm sure. He has no friends; he's so... what was the word that daddy used?"

<> Granted, only Lunden heard the rabbit's ever-cheerful chirp, however, no sooner the claim had rung through the forgoten's mind, Chesai clapped her hands once.

"Socially-inept! That's what he said!"

The claim, rung twice, was not appreciated by Lunden, whom seemed to shrink slightly into himself, frowning profoundly. He was still bristling lightly as Tom petted the small rabbit, however, he seemed to have calmed down enough that he was no longer green, or looking like he was just about to hyper-ventilate. It was then the boy finally noticed that... well, Tom was dirty. He had grass stains and dirt, and oh my god... was that a snail crawling up the other boy's boot?

Lunden paled again.

<> the small rabbit nibbled at the boy's hands, softly, her ears twitching before she turned to look at Creature, her nose wiggling, <>

Alas, Lunden had JUST found out that HIS clothes were dirty, and as grass stained as Tom's by then. They actually brought out the green in his eyes, however, the boy ignored this, and was doing his best to straighten them out with a sulky expression, his hands reaching up to brush his hair. As Tom addressed him, the boy focused his green gaze on him; there were still traces of the panic he'd been feeling there, however, there were also traces of deep intelligence. Granted, he could not talk, however, his eyes moved onto the fox, and he did something Chesai had never seen him try to do.

Slowly, the boy outstretched a hand towards the fox, looking torn.

"He wants to touch her..." Chesai's brows shot into her hair, hiding from view for brief seconds, "That's a first," turning to Ende, she smiled, "I'm a Lengend," she said, as if that word would explain exactly why she had wings, "I'm a phoenix."
