Welcome to Gaia! ::

June had decided it was time to get out of the house, to bring his young and somewhat excitable son out and about so that he would leave his older brother alone. It wasn't that long ago he'd been checked out of the hospital and Duncan wasn't much up for company let along the constant presence that was Keir. The boy had been worried about him and now that he was home didn't want to let his big brother out of his sight again. It caused no end to Duncan's temper flares...

They were at the recreational center, a place June came from time to time to work out. Today was more for Keir though, let him stretch his legs among others his own age... the boy had yet to be able to do that. Only dealing with a grouching teenage brother and an 'old man' dad.

Keirnan's golden eyes glanced around as he was released into the rec center and he moved from place to place quickly, peeking in various doors to see what was going on, his pink hair standing out brightly. He was such... an odd looking little boy but so sweet too. June couldn't help but smile at the giggles and attention he was getting from the people he waved to, said 'hello' to, or just walked by.

Keirnan moved toward the pool, eyes going wide when he saw someone with fluttering ear wings approaching him. He tilted his head to the side before giving a little smile, "Hello." He greeted her, lifting a hand to wave then started to move forward closer to the edge of the pool.

June moved after him, reaching out to catch him before he could hop in, "Hold up there." He said, "You need to take off your shirt and shoes before you go jumping in." The giant of a man helped Keirnan to get ready to play in the water. It took only a moment before the pink haired boy was heading for the pool again, hopping into the water without a thought.

The man shook his head, depositing his things on the bench along the edge of the pool before he walked over to get into the water. He wanted to be nearby since this was the first time his son had gone swimming.

Keirnan watched the way the girl swam toward him in an amazed sort of way, his eyes a bit wide, "Wow. Neat." He murmured his many strangely placed wings giving a flutter when she got nearer to him, "My name is Keirnan, what's yours?"

June watched his son as he talked with the girl, leaning against the edge of the pool. He would keep an eye on them but wouldn't step into their conversation. This was why he brought him here, to make friends.

Keirnan gave a giggle, had she? She had said something while his Dad was helping get him ready to be able to swim with her, "Ohhhh. Hehe, Zephyr." He said, giving a bit of a grin. It was a neat sounding name he decided. He moved through the water, keeping his feet firmly on the bottom, not quite ready to swim yet. He was liking the feel of it though, like a big tub.

"No, first time here." He admitted. It was easy to tell by the way he was moving in the water but he didn't looked scared at all about it, "This is neat."

"No. Oh! Well the bath tub." He said, realizing that it was a rather big container of water that he'd been in. Nothing nearly as big as this pool was! He moved his arms in the water, back and forth to get more used to the water and the more he got used to it the less worried he felt. He was able to relax and really enjoy everything about this new place and new feeling.

"Is that bigger then the pool?" He asked, never having been to a lake before. He hadn't really appeared forth from the relic that long ago so there was a lot that he hadn't seen yet. Everything was new and everything seemed to amuse him greatly.

Keirnan's golden eyes widened in delight at the thought of a late that was so big you couldn't see the other side. His many wings gave a swish, fluttering, "Ohhh... I see. I want to learn to swim so that I can go to places like that." He said, sounding thoughtful. He looked over at Zephyr, "Can you... show me?"

She seemed really good at swimming, maybe she could help him to figure out how to do it?

Keirnan listened closely to the directions before giving a little nod of his head. Balancing on the water? Sounded pretty interesting he thought to himself as he did as he was told. The water must have made him even lighter then he already was for her to be able to help him to float.

With his feet up off the bottom of the pool and him floating he felt... strange. It was a bit like flying he imagined... not that he could fly yet either but the weightless sensation with his feet no longer touching the ground made him think as much. It was a very interesting feeling, "Wow..." He murmured, his wings opening up and spreading out to help him have more of himself helping with balancing and floating.
