Welcome to Gaia! ::

Deimos was walking along a new street, his notebook out as he took down needed information about what the area was like. Just as before, despite the fact that he'd grown, the teen was still interested in his map and getting it filled out.

Draped across the blue haired teen's shoulders was Gigan, his giant alley cat who was seemingly dozing and purring. It was all an act though, he was keeping his ears open for any potential dangers around knowing that Deimos didn't deal with anything even remotely scary despite his size and age... just the other day a small frog had the teen shrieking and fleeing as though his life depended on it. It was up to the black cat to keep his friend safe, for the moment though he seemed to have things under control as they walked down new streets. It was the map making ritual that Deimos was working on, he was a bit obsessive with the idea but so long as he was having fun and getting out of the house the cat saw it as a good thing.

"This is a nice neighborhood, no scary houses at all." Deimos told his cat, giving him a smile. Some time ago he'd wandered into a neighborhood that wasn't to crowded with houses and had one in particular that he was certain was full of ghosts and monsters! On top of that one of the people he was with at the time insisted they go inside... he was so happy to see that there weren't any houses around that were like that in this place, it was a nice and calm area that had him smiling despite normally being afraid of everything.

Deimos gave a squeak of surprise, taking a quick step to the side as he was startled by the sudden voice from the fence that he'd been walking by. His attention turned to the one that was hanging there before he gave the kid a smile, relaxing as there seemed to be no inherit danger present at the moment, "Hello." He said back before looking at Gigan, "This is Gigantes or just Gigan, hes my cat. Say 'Hello' Gigan."

The cat opened his one perfect golden eye to stare at Vance before giving a little 'meow' sound that was his greeting to the kid before his eye closed once more. He'd humored them both by greeting the kid so that was good he thought to himself.

The blue haired teen seemed quite pleased that Gigan had been so nice in his greeting of the boy, "Heh, that is the most friendly he's ever been before without being first bribed with a snack, he must like you." He told Vance.

This boy was very talkative wasn't he? It was much different then what he was used to since he was so often talking with Anon and Gera. One of them didn't talk at all and one of them talked only to minimal amounts, "A bear? Wow. I couldn't imagine having a bear as a pet." He said, thinking for a moment how completely scary it would be to have a bear as a pet. They were huge, had sharp teeth and claws, could probably eat Dei in one bite... he didn't like the idea of them at all so he was glad to hear that the bear that lived here was asleep at the moment.

"Ahh... that is a good question, I'm not sure." He said, "Though I am no where near as big as my Daddy Reu is, hes a giant of a man. Momma is pretty small though, about the same size as I am."

Deimos nodded, "Almost!" He said, reaching his hands up over his head as far as he could, "Hes even taller then I can reach up in the air!" He told the boy, quite impressed by how very tall Daddy Reu was, "Its funny because Daddy Reu is huge and strong and my Momma Jiang is about the same height that I am now, Daddy Reu carries Momma Jiang around everywhere when it comes to leaving the house."

He knew that the only person in the world that was a bigger scaredy cat then he was himself was his Momma Jiang. Due to his fear of things he was always carried around by Reu to be kept safely away from everything that presented danger to him.

Deimos shook his head, "I wish I knew, I would like to be much taller." He said with a little laugh, he was a little on the short side so he wished that he was taller like his Daddy Reu was. Deimos turned to look over at the boy as he seemed to get up higher on the fence and he tilted his head, stepping closer to him, "Are you alright?" He asked of Vance, not wanting to see that the boy fall down or get hurt.

As he got to the fence to check on Vance to make sure that he was alright Gigan jumped off of his shoulders to land on the edge of the fence near to the boy in the green pajamas. The cat mewled at him before glancing over at Deimos.

Deimos chuckled at that, making himself taller, huh? That was cute he thought watching him closely as he struggled to pull himself up further only to drop down again. He wondered for a moment if it were really safe for him to be climbing such a manner. All manner of things could go wrong after all, everything from falling and getting bruises, to breaking something, or splinters that could get infected! His mind went racing through other possibilities and he had to do his best to get his imagination in check since worrying to much was never good for him. In fact he was certain that the stress of it was going to end up killing him young if he weren't careful.

All the while that he was worrying to himself Gigan seemed to be puffing up in a pleased manner when Vance said that he was good in this game, the awed tone in his voice seemed to please the cat greatly. Like with most cats he was an egotistical thing and it took a lot to win him over, praise or treats were the best way to do just that. He set to purring as he settled down near to Vance, not close enough to be touched but close, and watched him and Deimos both.

"It does seem hard but I bet its useful at the same time, being able to reach things that are up high." Deimos said once he got his thoughts in order. He wouldn't mind being taller but for now when he wanted something up high he could cheat and trade out his legs for a ghost tail and float up to get what he needed.

"It is a lot of fun to be able to go out for walks though even now I am a little scared about going alone." He said with an embarrassed chuckled, "Gigan there goes with me everywhere I go. Hes my fluffy bodyguard."

Gigan seemed to puff up a bit, seeming to be quite pleased to have his hard work acknowledged. After all who else would chase off the things that scared Deimos? Well... likely that metal boy and the one in the hoodie and maybe Deimos's twin... but still he was the around Deimos the most and protected him the most! His tail swished behind him before he set to purring happily.

Deimos gave his cat a glance wondering what put him so suddenly in a good mood, likely daydreams about catching birds. He looked back over to Vance once more and nodded, "Yes, he cooks a lot as well since Momma isn't to good at it." Jiang was better at looking pretty though, he seemed quite delicate and their father took care of him as though he were made of glass, not wanting to risk his health or well being, "Daddy's seemed to be quite talented really, its quite amazing."

Deimos couldn't help but to chuckle, "I bet that a bear would make a very good bodyguard." He said with a smile, he could only imagine what that sight might look... a young boy walking down the street with a bear. Or since the bear was so big would he be riding it? Either way Deimos wouldn't get anywhere close since he knew bears were a very dangerous animal and the mere idea of getting near one was intimidating.

"Ahh... haha, well yes. I actually have a pretty long list of things I am scared of." He murmured, flushing a little though it was hard to see against his dark colored skin. That he was admitting such a thing to a little kid made him a little embarrassed but it wasn't as though it weren't the truth.

Deimos watched the way that the boy was swaying in concern, hoping that he was doing that on purpose and not because he was at risk of falling, "I don't know, maybe its a requirement for being a Dad that they have to be quite skillful, smart, and tall." He guessed, then thought about it. It was going to be quite a long time before Deimos were able to be a Dad that was for sure. He didn't quite think that he had reached any of the right requirements for that title yet.
