Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aden was standing out in front of the main door to the Labs doing one of those things that a Doctor probably shouldn't do, he was smoking. As he indulged in his bad habit he was flipping through some charts that he'd been given by the higher ups. He'd done a parent meeting before though not on as grand a scale as this one. There was the chance of up to three of the spawn showing up to meet a demon of Sloth...

"Sounds a bit... dull." He muttered around the butt of the cigarette in his mouth. He wondered if any of the group were going to stay awake or if it were going to be some sort of slumber party of sorts. He looked at the note on the top of the chart, it said the one who normally took care of the meetings with the Sloth demon was feeling under the weather, "Again? Need to go and find him, make sure he is alright." He'd met the Fallen on a few occasions and took care of him when he fell ill the last time. Perhaps something was lingering? That didn't bode well.

He flicked the butt of his cigarette aside before he got out another one, lit it, and took along drag, "Should really quit." He told himself, not that he ever would but it was good to tell himself that he should.

"I'll pick you up in a little while," Sander said, clicking the passenger's side car door unlocked, since it was likely Ford wouldn't remember to do so himself before he attempted to exit the vehicle.

The spawn nodded, casting a wary glance at the facility before climbing out of the car. He had no reason to be frightened of the place, he reminded himself. He waved at his father as Sander drove away, keeping his eyes on the car as he shuffled toward the building. A bit more seemingly aimless walking led him to where Aden, Edes and the other Sloth boy's guardian waited, but he said nothing in greeting, concentrating his thoughts on not looking like a nervous mess instead.

(( This is backdated because I'm a bad girl, so Ford's still a kid. ))

Edes smiled as the man put out the cigarette, feeling as if he had done some good in stopping him. He then nodded, confirming that he was, infact, Edes. "Yesh, I is Edes, Nice to meet you!"

Once he was informed that he wouldn't be in danger, Noel took a seat in the waiting room, Petting Edes' Head. Now, You be good, and have fun, okay? I'm sure he's just like you, so you'll have a lot to discuss. He kissed Edes' forehead, then sent him off.

Hugged his father gently before toddling after Aden, chewing on his sleeve. He finally noticed Ford, and smiled. "Hai big boy! I is Edes~ How are you?"

Once everyone was introduced Aden motioned to them, "Alright, we are heading this way." He said, turning to lead the way to where the demon of Sloth was kept. Llewelyn's room, even the door to it, was different then that of the other demons. The door was cracked open and there was a tech inside working on keeping the demon awake and sitting up at the table that had been brought in for this exact reason.

Aden gave a chuckle before looking to Edes and Ford, "Alright boys, this is the demon you came to meet, his name is Llewelyn." He turned to look at the bleary eyed demon, "Llewelyn, this is Ford and Edes, two of the children created from your DNA."

The demon tilted his head to one side, his gaze slowly turning toward the boys before he gave a flutter of his small wings and a large yawn as a greeting.

Ford's expression remained neutral, his wings gathered against his back. He wasn't quite sure that he wanted to know this demon any more intimately than he was required to. After all, he already had a father, as useless as Sander seemed to be lately.

"Hello," he said after the other boy had said his hellos. Now it was Ford's turn to stand behind Edes as he approached the table, folded his arms and tried not to look uncomfortable. He wasn't, not really, but he found had a hard time not looking like he was.

It worried Edes a bit that For didn't seem interested in the demon who was supposedly his father genetically. For Edes, any man who hugged him was considered Daddy, though Noel was the only papa in his life, and that would always be so. The Papa with no voice.

The demon looked so sleepy, and warm. Yes, one of the first things Edes would ever notice was when something looked warm. And warm things equaled nice cuddly things.

"I.. I have a qwestion!" He squeaked, raising his hand like he was told to do at school. His grade, at the private school he attended, was in between first and second grade, he was still having trouble staying awake in class, and speaking correctly.

"I wanna know.." He paused, preparing himself to be scolded for wanting to do this. "Can I has a hug from Daddy LillyLen?"

The sloth demon starred for a long while, seeming almost for a moment to appear as though he'd fallen asleep sitting up with his eyes open. His body came awake with little jump, "Huh? What?" He asked, looking around, tail moving in a slow motion version of a wag.

"He asked about getting a hug from you Llywelyn." Aden repeated.

"Hug...?" The demon sounded a little surprised by that, tilting his head to the side to stare at Edes before he gave a slow nod, "I... suppose it would not... hurt." He said, his words were slowly spoken and at places drawn out as though he were trying to not to nod off again.

No. Ford could answer Edes' question. No, Llewelyn would not be getting a hug from this baby. Still, he inched closer. "Do you sleep all the time?" he interjected quietly during a moment of silence. At least he knew where he got it from now, and that he likely wasn't going to be able to fight his laziness in this lifetime. It made him feel a bit better about things, actually.
