Welcome to Gaia! ::

Iah rather liked the cold weather, it was good for chasing off most people allowing him to go anywhere he wanted. He liked the park as well, it was actually kind of fun from time to time which was nice. He got to sit on the swings to swing, play on the slide, and various other things that he wouldn't be able to do when he was younger. His tentacles were a touch more cooperative these days, though only by a little bit. Mostly they didn't cling to inanimate objects to keep him from getting around which made travel a lot easier. When it came to the greater majority of people though the pair would still act in the same general, possessive manner.

Stretching out all over, and giving one of his tentacles a push as he was wrapped around his shoulders like a heavy scarf, the teen abandoned his swing, "Y-You know t-that your heavy." He told it, though it only got him a squeezing in reply. The reaction made the teen shake his head at them before he continued along on his way, wondering where he wanted to go next in the park, maybe he could go over to where the games were played? See if anyone was there. While he didn't like playing sports he was a rather big fan of them, especially the ones that caused people to tackle each other like with football. It was a shame that the weather was to cold for volleyball which was his most favorite sport ever due to the fact that the guys wore so little.

As he was walking along he caught sight of someone familiar to him, someone he hadn't seen in a long, long while, "F-Fitzroy...?" He murmured, head tilting to one side. The moment he said the name his tentacles went from wrapping around him to jerking upright and putting themselves on guard. Fitzroy was the one that tied them up! As such they were not big fans of his...

Iah looked at the bench for a long moment before he looked at his tentacles, "P-Please behave... we won't t-tie you so b-be good." He told them, moving to sit down on the bench so that he was facing Fitzroy, that way there was no possible way that the tentacles could get jumped and tied. As such they seemed to relax... at least to a point. One of them, the more defensive one wrapped itself back around his neck lazily. The other one stayed at the ready, more aggressive then its twin by far.

Lifting a hand to catch hold of that one he hugged it to his chest, trying to calm it, "Its a l-little on edge around y-you." He explained, sure that Fitzroy would understand why that was. The tentacle swished a moment before wrapping itself around Iah's wrist, as though to tell Fitzroy and anyone else that might be looking who Iah belonged to. The action caused Iah to give another sight and he gave the twitchy, possessive limb a pat before he smiled at Fitzroy, "I'm g-good. B-Been getting out a l-little b-bit more of late. Its n-nice." He didn't explain that he was getting out more due to generally feeling uncomfortable at home.

"Y-Yeah, I grew! And I s-see that you d-did as well. Y-You have a lot of h-hair." He couldn't imagine having that much hair, he was sure his tentacles would make a terrible mess of it.

Looking around the area he found himself nodding, "I-I do like the w-weather like this, its b-best when its c-cold since there are l-less p-people around." Less people meant less chance of his tentacles being a bother to them or to him. He rather liked this weather, "It will b-be nice if it s-snows. They seem to l-love to fling s-snow balls around." He said, giving a bit of a chuckle, recalling how they had so happily flung the snow around last winter though that might have been using nature to aid them in keeping people away from Iah... either way at least it had given them something to do other then cling to him or take more physical swings at other people.

Iah lifted a hand, looking as though for a moment he was considering reaching out to mimic what Fitzroy was doing, wanting to touch his hair but his tentacle was instantly snagging hold of his wrist to pull his hands back in close to his body once more, causing his to sigh, "R-Really you t-two..." He murmured at them, cheeks flushing slightly. Silly things... always acting way to over possessive and protective he thought to himself, shaking his head at them before he looked back at his friend.

The tentacles reacted to his words by giving a slight twitch before they seemed to slid more tightly around Iah, looking the part of a pair of red snakes. Iah gave a slight smile before he patted them best that he could in his entangled position, "D-Don't feel b-bad. They are always l-like this. Only M-Marii seems able t-to c-cow them b-but then again hes p-pretty big." He said, giving a bit of a laugh as he thought about how they had acted the last time he'd crossed paths with Marii.

He gave a nod of his head, "T-They have d-done just that to a c-couple of p-people actually, P-Pepper and Cody g-got the worst of i-it." He said, looking at touch embarrassed and maybe a little upset, that had been the last time that he'd seen Pepper and he found himself wondering if his tentacles had been able to chase his friend off for good. It was possible given that they were a little... difficult to deal with to say the least, "I know t-that they aren't t-to terribly f-friendly b-but I now that they are d-doing it f-for my own good. T-To keep me s-safe." Iah himself was a little soft and far to friendly for his own good. As such he couldn't really be more then miffed at his tentacles for what they did.

"Y-You don't? Good." He murmured, glad that Fitzroy wasn't upset with him because of how the tentacles were, "S-Sometimes I e-envy my M-Mom, he has t-tentacles t-that are really friendly." He said before he got smacked in sync by both of his tentacles that were quite displeased when Iah mention Chii and Fuu. Iah sighed, batting at them, "B-Brats."

Iah decided to move away from mention of those tentacles, even if they were friendly and he would rather have tentacles that clung to other people instead of beating on them... he gave a little nod when he was asked about Marii, "Y-Yeah... hes l-like a g-giant!" Though him saying as much wasn't saying a lot since he was a little short at the moment, he was still growing though and hoped to one day at least be as tall as his Father! Though even if he was he would still be short in comparison, "I t-think its b-because he is s-so tough, he c-can just ignore them w-when they s-set to swinging."

Iah let one hand pet each of the tentacles for a moment and the red tinged limbs seemed to relax and for the moment the both of them wrapped around him in a manner that seemed as though they were going on the defensive as well as making it seem as though they were off guard. It was something Iah was used to so he didn't treat them as though they were innocent in any manner, "W-What are you w-working on?" He asked in a curious manner, watching the manner in which Fitzroy was working on... something. He little a little closer to try to get a look even if it got him a good squeezing for doing so.
