"Momma! Momma! Lookit! Lookit that one!" Llujah bounced up and down as he stared at a large fish behind a wall of glass. Belinda walked tiredly behind him, chuckling to herself. The boy had a boatload of energy, to be sure, and he tired her out constantly, but it was all worth it to see her son smile. Llujah smiled at his mother and continued bouncing. Belinda pushed a lock of intensely curly hair behind one of her sheep ears. "Mmhmm, I see 'im, sweetie. It says here that he's called an "ocean sunfish." As the Eilian read the sign by the fish tank, Llujah walked around the dark room, staring at the other fish. In one tank, there were different specimens on anemones, and in another, some eels poked their heads out of the false rocks that were their homes. Soon, the little boy lost interest, and he ran out of the building. Smiling tiredly, Belinda called after him. "Llujah! Don't run off!" Llujah didn't stop entirely, but he slowed enough to allow his mother to catch up before running off again.
Belinda and Llujah wandered through the aquarium park, looking for something else to explore, when something caught Llujah's eye. Around the corner was a small shaded station with a shallow water tank where multiple stingrays were swimming. Llu's eyes widened and he laughed as he ran over to the station, where many other people were crowding around the tank. Belinda rushed after him and walked with him over to the tank. Llujah looked around, confused. The other people were dipping their hands in the water and touching the stingrays. Llu looked at his mother with pleading eyes, his small tail twitching in excitement. Belinda smiled. "Go ahead. But be careful." Llujah needed no second bidding. He rushed to the nearest open spot by the tank and dipped his hand in.
The water was very cold, and Llu yelped a little in surprise, but curiosity kept the toddler rooted to the spot. He bounced a little as a small stingray came gliding towards him. He wriggled in excitement and quickly dipped his hand in further to touch the fish. But to his dismay, the fish swam just out of reach. Belinda stood by Llujah, watching. Llujah turned towards his mother and pointed to the fish. "Tha' meanie fish was too far away for me t' get!" Belinda smiled mischievously. "Well then, how about I help you?" Llujah grinned.
Belinda walked around the toddler and gently picked him up by the waist, being careful not to hit his small wings. Then with great care, she leaned her son over the tank for him to get a better reach. No sooner than she did, another bigger stingray swam near the two. Llujah's arms were outstretched in preparation to touch the fish and Belinda held onto him firmly. As the fish swam by, Llu dipped his hand in the water and gently brushed the fish along it's smooth body. Llujah recoiled back slightly at the creature's odd texture, but he giggled and laughed. "That was so cool! It was slimy and smooth and weird feelin'!" Belinda smiled at her son and let him down. It certainly was worth it to see him smile.

Tykier and Kyler was in the same room. Tykier was off on one wall, looking after his younger brother, and Kyler had his hand in the pool of water, feeling the textures of the stingrays. He giggled when he felt one pass by his fingers. Tui and La's wings were folded up to give room to the other spectators, and just looking about the room. When they saw Llujah, they almost stretched their wings!

Llujah smiled and giggled as he stroked the stingrays as they passed by his hand. He disliked their texture at first, but he grew to enjoy the smooth feeling of the fish and made it his goal to pet each and every one of them. His eyes focused on a larger stingray coming towards him. He reached his hand down, but he was not quick enough, and the fish glided past him. Llujah frowned and moved away from the edge of the tank, keeping one eye on that large stingray. Llu dodged and weaved past the other park-goers in an effort to keep up with the fish. For a split second, he lost his focus on the fish and where he was going, and he ran into something: something that felt... unfamiliar. Llujah's eyes turned upward to see a pair of large purple and red wings with an older boy attached to them. His eyes glittered and he stroked one of the wings happily.
Belinda leaned against one of the walls of the shaded area, keeping her sight firmly locked on her son. Knowing how full of energy he was, it was in all likelihood that he would run off somewhere. And run off he did. When he started to wander through the crowd, the Eilian quickly hurried to follow him to make sure he didn't find trouble. But she stopped when she saw who Llujah had run into. He looked like a regular teenage boy, maye younger, but he seemed to have... large wings? Belinda raised an eyerow in surprise. How peculiar...

Tykier was the first one to react. He got up from the wall, and walked over to the small boy, and Kyler. "Hey, there. Why are you rushing off like that? Including into my little brother?" Ty smiled, and chuckled a bit. He held out a hand. Kyler turned his head to his brother's voice, "Big Brother? Who are you talking to?" Tui and La were equally interested in Llujah. They both slinked down to the boy, and began to explore the boy.

Llujah smiled and giggled a little as he petted the boy's wings and he stopped momentarily when he heard a voice from behind him. He turned his head around towards the voice and saw a tall man looking down at him. He looked strange, Llu thought, with one half of his body red colored. But to the toddler's surprise, the man had wings, too! Llu's eyes glittered as he stepped away from the older boy and petted the man's wings. One was very soft and fluffy like the other boy's, but the other was weird-feeling... Almost like how the stingrays felt, but this one wasn't wet. He pried away from the man's wings and looked at his outstretched hand. Llujah turned his head, looking at the hand from both sides. There wasn't anything in it. He shrugged, smiled at the man, and went back to petting the first boy's wings.
"I was followin' a big s'ingray an' it got away, so I wen' aft'r it and found this guy," Llujah said in regards to the man's question. He giggled and his tail twitched as two tentacles snaked around him as he stroked the wings. "I don't t'ink I've ever seen anyone wit' wingies like t'is b'fore. They're really cool!"
