Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryuusei didn't often go shopping, never having had enough money, but recently he'd found a way to make some money for himself and it had seemed to pay well! He didn't really have anything to do with the money, aside from buying all sorts of snacks with it, but one had when he was in the park dancing for his dinner he heard some girls saying that if they had that much money they would go to the mall!

So being as curious as he was the dragon tailed boy decided that he would see what one was. What was so great about 'the mall' that made people want to go and hang out in one of them? He had discovered the secret upon entering and he couldn't help up to be amazed. The building was full of stores that all seemed to sell different things. And in the cent of the place was something called a food court! He gazed down from the top floor toward where the mass of food stores were at and his tailed set to wagging, his antennae twitched, and his wings set to fluttering. It was just... amazing! Look at all of those different sorts of food!

He debated just jumping down since it wasn't as though he couldn't float down easy enough but that was when he spotted the glass elevators, something rather interesting looking if you asked him, and he floated toward one, his feet not touching the ground as they rarely ever did unless he was standing still. He wanted to ride in this interesting looking thing! He gave a happy sound as he waited for his turn, stepping inside when the crowd of people inside stepped out, "Oooo, neat!" He chirped, ever mesmerized by everything no matter how simple it was. Despite his internal age Ryuu didn't seem to fit that age either in the shape and size of his body or his mind set. His powers on the other hand had developed to that point, likely the only mature part of him at the moment.

Ryuusei pressed against the glass to look out the side of the wall, finding it almost like floating given how everything was made of glass. Being as mesmerized as he was he completely missed the fact that his Enemy and Rival, or at least as close as he could have one to be, was nearby. Though it was hard to miss her when she was suddenly growling at him.

The silver tailed dragon gave a squeak, turning turning to look over to where she was standing, "Ah! You!" He squeaked out, scooting back as far from the blond girl as he possible could tail thumping against the ground in a worried manner. Oh no, no! He didn't wanna take a ride with her! Just as he said this the elevator froze in place drawing a cry from him, "Ah! What? You broke it, Bug Girl!" She broke it with her stomping and now they were trapped forever in this place! While it was likely untrue he couldn't help but to panic a little since he was stuck in the glass box with the scariest person he knew.

He lifted his tail up, hugging it to his chest, and floated up off of the ground and what he hoped was out of the reach of the angry looking blond. Best that he say up here and hope that they would fix the thing so that he could escape before she found something to throw at him...

"Your a girl and your name is Bug, so your a Bug girl." He said from where he was floating, wanting to give an explanation for why he called her what he did. It was just a nickname for the scary girl he thought to him. The star end of his tail twitch a bit and he pressed against the glass, looking around to see if he could tell if anyone was trying to fix the stuck elevator. His mind was of the same thought as she was... 'this sucked'.

Turning to look at her when she spoke to him again, somehow glad to hear something other then the dull elevator music filling the air, "How? Hrm... I don't know... its a skill I picked up a while ago." He said, shifting a bit, shifting so that he was sitting in a cross legged position up in the air where he was floating. His wings, sparkling blue wings that weren't attached to his back but instead seemed to follow him like the cloud of stars around him did, gave a flutter.

"Its a useful skill, makes it so I don't have to struggle as much with crowds." Given that he was less then four feet tall despite his age he used the floating to his advantage so he didn't get trampled.

"Crowds aren't so bad its just that I am a bit small and get stopped on if I am not careful." He explained, he rather liked being around people, always wanting to give them things that they wished for if it was within his power. He watched the manner in which the girl seemed to be pouting over something before she demanded that he stop hovering... now that was something he was left to debate over. He wasn't sure what he thought about that, going down to where she could reach him... then again even floating up here she could throw things at him, she was good at throwing things.

Slowly but surely the boy lowered himself down to sit on the other side of the elevator across from Bug, tail wrapping around his middle. He starred at the girl across from him and as his tail sat still his star cloud followed him down as well, clouding around him, sparkling and glimmering away around him like a pretty shield.

Ryuu blinked then giggled, it seemed that a lot of people always asked about why he sparkled in such a manner. He reached a hand up to catch hold of one of the stars in it gently, "They are my magical stars." He told her, tail thumping lightly against the ground. Each of the silver stars that followed him around looked like more lively versions of the star that he had been born from once upon a time ago, the star that he still carried with him and would carry with him until he was able to give it back to the one that it belonged to. Not that he had been lucky enough, yet, to find that man.

"What were you expecting?" He asked as he released the star, allowing it to float back to its spot among the mass of stars that were floating around him. He wondered what she thought of him, likely something similar to how he thought of her? He thought she was scary after all, a scary girl that threw things at people and dragons... so what might she think he was? He couldn't even hazard a guess.

"More scaly? Fangs and claws?" He asked, head tilting to the side for a moment in a thoughtful manner before nodding, "I had those things when I was little but I suddenly... well changed! I woke up in this strange shape one day and well... well it was pretty startling that was for sure but not a bad thing. At least not a bad thing after I got used to it."

So that was it? She thought that he was scary when he was still a dragon? That was kind of funny, with as often as Mrrh used to pick on him for being not scary it was actually nice to hear that at least someone had thought he was a scary dragon, "I am glad that you don't think I am scary now." He said tail wagging a bit in a happy manner. Scary was the very last thing that he wanted to be now, he was happier being a cute, sparkling, dragon boy even if he was shorter then Bug was.

"I don't mind being shorter then you, I am still GIANT compare to how big I used to be." He said, giving a giggle.

"Eat... people?" He asked, eyes going wide before he shook his head, "I mostly eat cupcakes and cheeseburgers." How it was that he was still so small and skinny was behold reasoning given that he ate nothing but junk, likely either he had good genes or he was just plain lucky when it came down to it.

He seemed to think on the second thing she said before shaking her head, "I haven't seen the giant snakes since that weird sort of... climbing game that we played together." He told her, that had been the one and only time he'd seen giant snakes... though he met the guy called Kay once who had a snake on his head, did that count? He wasn't quite sure if it did or not, "Have you seen the snakes since that day?" He asked curiously, wondering if they were teasing her and that was why she didn't seem to like them, or him, very much.
