Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was a reason that the beach down a distance was deserted, in fact there were even warning signs up that were hand crafted by Leviathan that said that trespassers would be eaten. Luckily for him it would appear that the warning signs had worked out well for him, not to mention the bit of press he got here and there when he did something particularly interesting. He was grinning up a storm from where he was at the moment, floating on his back in 'his' ocean, the part of the water that was his territory. He'd been slowly expanding that which was his of late, deciding that now that he was almost twice the size he was before he needed more space so that he had more food at hand.

He turned slowly to look toward the one who was approaching the edges of his territory as though he sensed him coming and he rolled over before sinking mostly under the water. A kid? He looked from side to side seeing no parent that it seemed to belong to and he seemed to relax a bit as he started to swim toward the edge of the water. Kids he didn't mind so much but parents on the other hand... they were loud, they thought they knew everything, tried to take what was his, left litter behind. They were unwelcome in his territory and he would be quite unmerciful about how he chased them out... kids though, they were something he could deal with since he could always threaten to eat them if they didn't behave.k

He was rather small wasn't he? Children this small always seemed to have an adult present, didn't they? Well he supposed that the blond girl hadn't so there were some small children that got around on their own. He continued to move closer even as the boy with the red eyes wandered closer to the water. Idly he found himself comparing this kid to the one that had fallen into his water and nearly drown, it had him wondering if this one knew how to swim or if he would end up being swept out to sea if there were a bit wave that came in.

Should he look after him? Normally he didn't care one whit about anyone that was either himself, his General, or a potential princess that needed kidnapped... it would seem that run in with the drowning brat was messing with him in ways he hadn't expected. Fine, fine... he would look after the kid even though he was a he and normally Levi wanted little to do with other guys.

Once he was among the shallow water he pushed himself up and peeked out of it, "Having fun, kid?" He asked, hearing his song about the water and the way he was splashing in it.

Leviathan couldn't help but to grin, seeming to be rather impressed by the fact that this kid didn't really seem all to afraid of him. It was a new and welcome thing since he was able to make most everyone aside from a small number run from him or better yet make them cry, "I see, well given that you don't seem so bad I will allow you full run in my territory." He said, making a motion toward the two large signs that he put up warning people to stay out, "Between there and there is all mine but you can roam around as you like due to my special permission."

It applied only to the red eyed kid so he rather hoped that nobody else decided to invade any time soon he thought to himself as he pulled his coils into, letting it them bunch and stack up on each other so that he could lounge on them.

That the kid seemed to understand what a glorious thing that he was being allowed to do seemed to make Leviathan like him that much more. To be thanked in such a manner had his wing like fin fluttering behind him in a pleased fashion, "Your welcome." He said, grinning ear to ear by now.

If Leviathan was happy before he was only made to be more so when the kid asked him about his rank, "I am the Lord of the Ocean actually." He said, sounding as though he were quite serious about it. He was just that after all and he was working his hardest to make sure he was more then worthy of that title, "My name is Leviathan, what about you? You have a name?"

Leviathan couldn't help it, he was rather liking this kid more and more as he spoke, the way that he called out in a booming voice, and otherwise making things seem much more dramatic. Levi rather liked Vance's way of announcing himself, "Vance is it?" He seemed to think on it for a moment before nodding, "That's a cool name." Said as though it was very important that he liked the other boy's name.

"What do we do? All sorts of fun things. I keep my territory safe and free of invaders, I hunt for tasty things in the ocean for dinner, from time to time I kidnap princesses like a proper dragon does, and from time to time battles with those who come to save the princesses." He said, explaining what he did with his time, ginning all the while since the things he did were things that he rather enjoyed and thought that everyone else should enjoy as well.

"And what about you? What do Vances do?"

The enthusiasm of the smaller boy was kind of amusing, the way that he showed his excitement in such an open manner. It was funny, "All sorts of good food, various fish, shellfish, some birds, a few sorts of mammals, they all taste pretty good." He said with a smile then chuckled, "A couple of princesses, a few fake ones, and a few girls that were far from being princesses. The best one so far had to be the deer princess and the water princess." The end of his tail wagged a bit thinking of those two and the fun they had been though for very different reasons.

He listened to what the boy said that he did, something far different then what he did himself. He chuckled a bit, well the boy was a lot younger then he wasn't he? He nodded, "Sounds like an interesting day and do the bugs taste good?" He asked curiously, now he'd never eaten those before and rarely seen them on the beach due to the heat.

"Not nearly as many princesses as their should be." He said, thinking about all of the ones that he'd met in his time. There were far to many of those and not nearly enough of the real, princess-like kind. The end of his tail lashed at the thought before he shoved the thoughts aside.

The sea dragon turned his attention back to the red eyed boy in front of him, finding that Vance was thoroughly amusing for a little kid. Normally he couldn't stand them and wanted nothing more then to see their parents carting them off before he was forced to throw them into deep water... deep water outside of his territory mind you, he didn't want that sort of mess within the boundaries of what was considered his.

"So your saying bugs and peanut butter are things I should avoid then, food wise?" He said, giving a nod of his head. While he doubted he would have considered eating either of them it was still good information, "I wonder if perhaps I should draft you into my army, you would be an useful informant it would seem."
