Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was indian summer in Teritia Glades. Berries were ripe for the picking and even though it was the middle of fall, the weather was still pleasantly warm. It'd be perfect for a picnic, playing outside, or anything like that.

"Hey, Souppi!" Livewire said.

No response. Souppi wondered why his older brother took him here. He didn't want to go away from home today and he didn't even like sweet things like berries.

"Hey, hey, Souppi! Spinel Sun, are you listening?!"

That got his attention. He slowly turned towards him with his tail tucked between his legs and he had his body as close to the ground as he could get it. He thought he must've been trouble if his big brother was calling him by his full name. He wanted to look as apologetic as possible and he was gearing up for some kind of punishment.

"Aww, don't give me those puppy dog eyes! I-I-I just can't take it! You're just so darn cute!" After that, he began rolling around on the ground and making high pitched undecipherable noises. After he got that out of his system, he got back up and continued. "You're not in trouble or anything. I was just trying to get your attention."

That cheered him up immensely. He sat up and smiled.

"Awww! Anyway, it's a nice day out. You should go out play with folks your own age."

He didn't like the sound of that. He just liked playing with those he already knew, even if they were older than him. "I don't want to."

"Wh-What?! How do you know? You haven't even tried. Just go and do it. If you really, really, really hate it, then you come back. I'll be waiting right here for you."

Souppi trusted Livewire, so he decided to give it a try...

Souppi was nervour, but he tried to look brave. His twitchy ears and low held tail betrayed his intentions, though. When he saw Ginger playing around in a pile of leaves, he thought it looked like something he'd like to do, so he headed over to where she was and while trying to be as polite as possible, said, "Hello, little miss. What's your name? You can call me Souppi." Without waiting to hear her response, he said, "That looks like fun. Can I play?"

(OOC: It's been like 2 months. OTL Sorry about that.)

Finding a playmate was easier than Souppi thought it'd be. He smiled a genuine smile and dove into the pile of leaves. "Yaaay!" He liked this leaf pool much more than a pool of water.

Souppi surfaced from the pile seconds later with stems and dried leaves stuck all over him. He didn't notice them. He was too busy thinking of what other games they could play. "Ooh, ooh! Do you want to try to play leap frog?"
