Welcome to Gaia! ::

He come back to D-Corp on a small errand, that of fetching some wrapping for his hands to help him better grip his naginata when he was practicing. He'd run out and had come here to get a bit more, not wanting to risk breaking his weapon or even in anyway damaging it. It was something that meant a lot to him, something trusted to him by his teacher and as such he didn't want to see it get destroyed! He looked over his shoulder at the item that was strapped to his back before he slid off of Ellie's back, giving her a gentle pat on the side, "You did really well." She didn't fly him the whole way, it was only the smallest leg of the journey and they had walked the rest, but that she was even able to carrying all of his weight even that much made her so happy. She had gotten the hang of flying, now all she needed was some strength training.

"I am just going to run in and then be back out, do you want to come with or will you wait?" He asked of the Silver.

She looked at him, toward the building, and then around the area before giving a shake of her head, "I will await your return out here... if you think you won't get lost?" She asked. She wanted nothing more then to do a little flying without his weight on her back, a bit of practice would do her some good, as well as enjoy the warm sun and nice breeze... but her boy could get lost in his closet and it worried her.

"I will be fine! You wait here and sun bathe, I will be back soon and... well if I take to terribly long you can come save me." He told her before turned and headed into the building at a good clip, the faster he got in and got what he was looking for, the sooner he could get back out and prove he wasn't that bad with his directions!

Valens was trotting along, whistling to himself, his tail and mane flowing behind him like dual flags of black. He took the stairs up to the right floor since he didn't have Ellie with him and due to having an overwhelming amount of energy pumping through his veins. There was a loud 'tap, tap, tap' sound as his hooves hit each of the steps all the way up to where Kuyoja's classroom was and he came through the door that was marked 'stairs' on the other side. He looked from side to side, ears turning from side to side as he tried to recall which direction the classroom was in. He normally took the elevator since Ellie could fit in it easier then the stairs but really found himself a little stumped.

With his head cocked to one side he picked an arbitrary direction and started in in. Worst that could happen was that he would end up going in the wrong direction and he would have to head in the other direction he thought to himself. He wasn't all that bothered by the idea of getting lost since he did that often enough as it was.

Valens came around a corner and to a sliding half, hooves not catching at first so he was slipping for a few moments before he was able to regain his balance and he found himself freezing in place. Snake... oh no, another one... he could see its scaly hands, the long tail body, and it gave him that same feeling welling up in him, half of him wanted to started to stomp at it while the other half wanted to run like hell... he needed the hand wrapping tape but... but it was a snake! Those things always gave him the worst chills up and down his back, not to mention that the one he ran across the most often was that cobra kid Ter.

He shifted place and seemed to be debating what it was he should do at the moment, this particular snake was lighter colored then Ter was, it was also smaller so he would feel bad stomping at or near something small... not to mention that it looked to be PINK. Surely if it were pink then it must be female, right? So he most certainly couldn't go stomping at a little snake girl...

"Erm... ahh... hello there." He greeted the pink snake.

Valens gave a cry of surprise when the snake shrieked at him, certain that she was able to attack. He stumbled back and few steps, flailed, and ended up landed on his backside in a few steps away from the girl that had attempted to hide amongst herself... then got buried in falling clothes. He gave his hooves a long look, as though accusing them of knocking him over before he looked toward the girl that had been buried in the stuff she was carrying. He shifted slowly onto his hands and knees, crawling closer.

"Hey... I didn't mean to scare you... though I admit you just scared the life out of me too..." His ears laid back as he got close and everything inside of him was screaming at him not to get any closer to the snake or the danger that it presented. He lifted one hand to give a little poke at the pile that was trembling in front of him.

Valens poked at her a couple more times then drew back and starred, oh no... oh no... he broke her! He felt panicked, ears laying back against his skull. He didn't mean to break the girl like that! What should he do? What should be do? Would the teacher be in the classroom? Could he fix the girl? He wasn't sure as the teacher seemed to be better at teaching battle stuff but didn't strike him as a healer sort... well maybe he would know where the nurse was?

He reached down to gather up the clothing and snake bundle, pushed up onto his hooves, and went racing down toward the classroom, "Mr Tsuzuki! I broke her!" He cried as he went into the classroom, sounding more then a little panicked as he looked around and couldn't seem to find the teacher.

Valens trotted from side to side then in place, heart racing as he looked around the classroom. He wasn't... he wasn't here! Where was the teacher at?! Why wasn't he here so that he could figure out how to go about fixing the snake girl that he'd stumbled across. He blinked as he looked down at her tail, watching the limp way in which it was waving back and forth... and his eyes got that much bigger. Oh gods above he'd killed her! He gave her a little shake before he started to stomp his hooves in a very unhappy and anxious manner, "Hells... no... no... come on, wake up..." He said, setting to untangling her from the clothing, tossing it aside so that he could free her from it. What if she couldn't breath in all that cloth?

Where was his teacher? Why was he not her to fix everything... he was sure that he should be able to fix this... why did he have to be so dumb he thought to himself in a panic. His father was right about him, wasn't he? When he had tossed aside all the extra Gis that he'd pick up with her he lifted her up so he could press an ear to her chest, listening, "Good..." Phew, she was breathing and he could hear her heart so he hadn't killed her! That was wonderful... now to figure out what was wrong with her he thought to himself as he held her out a small distance from his chest to inspect the limb snake girl. He gave a little shiver as he looked her over, he couldn't quite believe he was this close to a snake... touching it, picking it up, trying to save it... all of it made chills go up and down his spine as he thought about it but he couldn't just abandoned her all limb and almost dead like this.

Valens was never happier to see the teacher then at this moment, "I don't know! I didn't mean to break her!" He said, happy when the teacher took the girl from him, a little surprised at hearing that the girl was his daughter. He didn't strike him as the parent sort... but then again neither did LaVey... he blinked when he heard the order and nodded, looking from side to side before he grabbed up one of the fallen gi and ran out of the classroom. He soaked it in one of the water fountains, squeezed it out so as not to drip it all over the place, and raced back to the teacher's side and held it out to him.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..." He said, shifting back a few steps from her and squatted down. This was the last thing he'd intended when dealing with her, he'd just been trying his best not to run like a little kid when it came to facing something that scared the stuffing out of him like snakes did.

Valens looked only that much more guilty over everything. He hadn't know that she was so sensitive... did that mean greeting her was a bad idea? Poking her was definitely that... oh man and picking her up was the end all of bad ideas. He felt like he wanted to cry, not that he would since guys his age didn't cry, but he still felt more then a little foolish, "I see... sorry." He said again. He was sure that if his father was here the man would be telling him how dense he was. Valens had about the same amount of brain power as a box of rocks, or so LaVey told him from time to time.

"I really didn't mean to break her... I just tried to greet her, thought it would be better then running away. Snakes sort of... give me chills. I didn't want to insult her though..." He said, trying to explain what happened.
