Welcome to Gaia! ::

Logan was excited. He was genuinely excited. He was getting to go to the zoo with his dad while his twin and his twin's dad went else where. Logan hardly ever got to spend time with his dad. Mickenzie was always on the computer doing his business. Logan didn't know what his daddy did, but he felt it was something super important to help the world out!

The car ride there was miserable. Daddy didn't pay him much attention. Instead, his daddy had that stupid ear thingy in and was talking angrily at people.

But they were finally here! After a million years, they stood in line at the zoo gates to be let in and get their tickets. When it was their turn, Mickenzie paid for the tickets and took Logan by the hand, gently tugging him further into the establishment.

"Daddy, I wanna see a tiger!"

"We can go see the tigers, Logan. But first, do you want to see something really cute?"

Logan nodded and that's when daddy brought him to the penguin exhibit. He pressed his nose against the glass as he watched the cute black and white birds do what they did and make those adorable noises. "I wanna be one!"

His wings fluttered when he heard another child's voice close to him and he turned, spotting the wings. Giggling, shied away against his father's leg and bit on his lip, waving a little bit. He looked up to his dad, who was looking down at him and pointed to the other little boy before hiding again.

Kenzie blinked when he saw the other boys wings and then looked to the boy's caretaker. "Hello, there. Sorry about him. Logan's not the most ...outgoing boy in the world." He gave Logan a little push with his legs, trying to get him to the other boy. "Say hi, Logan."

The child gave a whimper and wrapped his arms around himself before smiling at Devan again. "H....hi..."

"I'm Mickenzie. Kenzie for short." He held his hand out for Devan's caretaker's hand.

"Oh yeah? His uncle? I would have mistaken you for his father." He grinned a little then looked down to the boys who were crowding his legs. Gyaaah, if there was one thing he hated, it was being crowded. So, he pulled Logan away from him and pushed him toward Devan away from him. "Go on, Logan. Go make friends, OK? Watch the penguins." Yeah, Mickenzie really was a good father, he just hated crowds. And that's what a zoo was.

Logan whined when his dad pulled him away and made him go near Devan. Why couldn't Leander be here? Leander was the more outgoing of them! Looking down, his cheeks flushed and he nodded a little. "Y-yes... I'm... seeing the penguins.. I wanna be one."

Kenzie looked hesitant but he went with the other man. He could still keep an eye on the boys, at least. If he didn't, they could end up falling into an animal pin. He never thought of zoos as dangerous before, but since getting Logan in his life, everything seemed to be a danger to the boy.

Logan looked up when the other boy started to waddle and giggled a little before his face flushed and he played with his hair. "I don't like fish... and I don't know how to swim, but I'd like to slide on my tummy like that one..." His voice was low and held excitement, even if his body language didn't. Carefully, he pointed to the sliding penguin and gave a little goofy smile.

"I.. I like your wings," he told Devan quietly, playing with his shirt now and letting his brows knit together. What else should he say?

Logan's face lite up when he received the feather. Carefully, he removed a smaller feather from his wing and winced when he pulled it out. Handing it to the boy, he grinned and nodded. "Yeah! So when we're older, we can try to find each other again!" The shyness had gone with the exchange of feathers. Carefully tucking tucking the feather in his hair, the boy laughed and looked to the penguins again.

"Daddy and I are gonna see the snakes soon. Do you wanna come?" He tilted his head and took Devan's hand in his, just because he could. "Or we're gonna see the tigers. I wanna see both!" The snakes reminded him of his twin's tentacles and the tigers were cute and big and Logan's room was decorated in them.

The boy laughed and grinned and tugged Devan over to their guardians and parents. "Daddy, daddy, can he come and see the snakes and tigers with us?! Can he, please?" Those yellow eyes went big and huge and even a little misty to try to get what he wanted. That was Logan's way. If his dad said no he would scream and cry and throw a fit and his dad would say yes. That's how it worked in his spoiled little world.

Mickenzie sighed and rubbed his forehead a little before looking to Greg. "I'm not the one you should be asking, Logan.. Try asking Mr. Greg..." Though Kenzie was clearly having a time taking care of this rambunctious little boy by himself. With the heat, his weak heart was beating awkwardly already. His hand went into his pocket where he stroked his bottle of medication. He might have to call it a day really early.

Logan gave a whoop when Greg agreed to this. Laughing, he took Devan's hand after pocketing the feather carefully and tugged the other boy toward the direction Greg pointed without thinking to weight up for their adults. His hair bounced with him, since the gel didn't last too long before it just gave up. So his once spikey hair was falling down into his face.

"C'mon, Devan, maybe we'll see the ones that make noise with their tails!"

Kenzie walked after the boys quietly before shaking his head and stopping. He pulled out the bottle of pills and popped one of them before pocketing them again. He got good at taking pills dry. He just prayed Greg wouldn't ask him about it or think he was some kind of drug head.

"Yeah! It's all..." he tried to mimic a rattle snake tail, but he couldn't quite do it. "Something like that..." His face was flushed and red by the time they got to the snake tanks and he went around looking for them for a minute. He didn't have a tail, so he couldn't be envious about that. However, he was envious of those feathers Devan had! His were just small ones... But Devan had HUGE ones. He could probably fly really well with them!

Kenzie nodded and put a hand to his chest for a moment. They were quick activating, so he felt his heart slowly starting to beat normally. Now, however, he walked a little wobbly. It was a side effect of the tranq but he could deal with it. "I have a weak heart... Sometimes it... beats too fast or skips a beat, so I have to take these pills.. It's just a little too warm for me out here is all." He put his hands in his pockets and didn't look at the other. Clearly the man didn't like talking about it.
