Chath splashed pittifullly in the shallow waters of the kiddy pool placed in the front yard of Jayoku's house. Right now Chath didn't seem too aware that the temperature outside was not fit for a child his age to be swimming about in chilly waters. IN fact he was enjoying himself so much that he had forgotten his temporary annoyment of his gaurdian.

His shiney special rock lay on the bottom of the pool, and Chath kept diving, vaugely to get it. ONly to have the smooth stone slip out of his fingers and plop back into the waters.


Jayoku sat in a chair watching Chath, wrapped up in a thick jacket with a scarf and mittens to boot she seemed to be frozen. She couldn't understand why Chath had wanted to have the kiddy pool set up outside when she had been more than willing to let him play in the house. Her basement could handle a little water, at least she could control the temperature inside.... but he had protested that it was always too warm in the house and demanded it be put outside. Obviously Jayoku had given up and complied for there she was sitting outside watching her toddler play.

Trudging alone along the sidewalks was a small, green tinted child, long tail arched up behind him with his stinger coming to rest by his shoulderblades. Between both claws he held a brown paper bag filled with some kind of grocery item, and he was humming somewhat cheerily, all four eyes drifting about. They finally came to rest on the contents of the front yard to his right, and his head lifted quizzically at what he saw. What was that? Another child kind of like him? Without much thought he was wandering into the yard, paying no heed to the woman in the chair. "H-hullo..?" He greeted the little one in the tub uncertainly. Sure, he was a timid child, but no one could say Nero was truly shy.

Left a good distance behind trudged Axel, a few grocery bags dangling from his arms.. "Damnit, kid? Wait up.." Where had the little guy gotten to? He seeked him out with his eyes, and grimaced at what he saw. "Pipsqueak, you don't just walk into people's yards."

Chath looked up from his splashing, at first a bit frightened by the many eyes and long stinger like tail but soon a large smile spread across his face. "Hewo!" he relpied happy to find another child like himself. He had been impatient in wanting to see Lian again, but perhaps this new child would also like to be friends. He waddeled over to the edge of the pool and then looked at Nero's large claw like hands. "WOW you hans are wike shovuls!"

Jayoku had been a bit surprised as this odd child wandered into her front yard and addressed Chath. For once not afriad of his odd look, she reconised the distinguishing features to be that of a scorpian. Afraid of newts...but not scorpians? truth be told she grew up in an enviroment rich with them, they had been a common sight for her. Sitting she kept a eye on the piar, wondering where this child's gaurdian was.

Nero smiled warmly at the younger boy, eyeing the pool warily... Scary water... Last time he'd been in a pool he'd had a bully incident. Ulp. Two of his four eyes blinked as he looked back up to the other boy, head tilting itself to one side. "M-my ha-hands?" He had to take a moment to remember what hands were- and then he nodded, "O-oh's, my-my claws." He shifted the grocery bag so that he could lift one in display, clacking it together idly. And then he snapped his attention back to the smaller child, "Y-you got w-weird ey-eyes! I-I l-likes 'em." Perhaps he had an affinity for odd eyes because his own eye situation was odd, but either way, he liked this child's strange eyes...

Axel stopped at the edge of the yard, sighing a bit, "Nero!" The scorpion blinked and looked back. His guardian let out a sigh, "You shouldn't just wander into people's yards!" He marched forward, ruffling his charge's hair when he got there. He glanced towards Jayoku, "Sorry if he's been any trouble."

Chath reached up almost subconciously and touched the corner of his eyes. He gave a wide smile. "I wike my Iyes two!" he answered cheerfully. When Frieze walked up to them he turned his gaze on the tall man. But his attention was drawn back to Nero. "how du ou gwet your twail to stway wike dat?" he asked pointing to Nero's tail his own was drapping in the water still.

Jayoku looked up as Axel approached and gave a soft smile. "No he wasn't any problem at all. She stood up and moved towards Axel and the rest. "So his name is Nero? How cute. He looks nearly six years old." she said with a bit of a laugh. "Why don't you introduce yourself Chath?"

Chath looked a bit surprised at Jayoku's reminder of being polite. He still hadn't gotten a answer yet from the scorpian boy. "I am Chath." He said remebering Jayoku's lesson's on how to be polite, he offered the boy his webbed hand.

(Axel is actually Nero's guardian, not Freize. ^__^)

"Th-they're pr-pretty c-colored!" The child proclaimed, two eyes blinking in some strange form of enthusiasm. He glanced back at the mention of his tail, which curled slightly beneath both of their gazes, "M-my tail...?" His answer was cut off by grown-up talk, and he turned his eyes respectfully towards his two elders, waiting patiently for them to finish speaking.

The older male smiled and rubbed at the back of his neck slightly, the glass in the bags that dangles from his arms clanking as they connected, "Ah, yeah... He's about sixish. He does look kind of young for his age, though. He's a squirt."

Nero smiled shyly at the woman before returning his attention to Chath, extending a claw awkwardly. He tried to gently take the offered hand in that surprisingly strong claw, giving it a small shake. "N-nice to-to meet y-you." He offered in an almost mechanic manner, as if it were rehearsed. Manners were something drilled into his head by his father and uncle. He released the webbed hand, launching right back into answering the question now, "I-I dunno, i-it just m-moves! D-doesn' y-your tai-tail move?"

It was an odd sensation to have his small hand gripped by pincers that could probably break his wrist, but he seemed to have little fear about this. "Mya twail movths bwawt onwy swiiide to swiide." he said emphasising this by wiggeling his tail back and forth. "Sweee? I cant mwake mind dwu vahwat you do." he his lips forming a pout.

He was suddenly very proud of his eyes, Jayoku always avoided looking him in the eyes, and this had always made him feel that his eyes were bad, but having someone else priase them made him suddenly very slef confidant.


Jayoku tilted her head a bit and could only smile at Axel. They made a strange pair, but she could't judge too quickly. "Looks like you two have been grocery shopping." she commented trying to make small talk as she noticed Chath seemed to be rather absorbed in talking to his new friend.

The older of the pair yawned slightly, "Yep." He smiled towards her and gave a slight roll to his eyes. "I hate shopping." He muttered in halfheartedly before turning for conversation, "Little guy learning how to swim, or...?" Did he already know how? Maybe the little thing was just working on his water skills. He looked like a pretty decent water-faring creature.

Nero looked back at his own tail, moving it in every which way before letting it fall back into its neutral curled position, "Y-yaah, g-guess so.. I didn' n-notice 'f-'fore." He wriggled his tail a bit more before turning cheerfully back to the other child- his eyes darted warily towards the pool. Yuck. Scary water... "W-whatcha d-doin'?"

Chath watched and clapped his wet hands together as Nero moved his tail about. "Dat ish swo cwool." he beamed his attention on the tail as it setteled back into it's normal position. When asked what it was he was doing he glanced at the contents ot the kiddy pool and then shuffeled towards the rock that was sitting int he middle of it. the water was very shallow with barely enough room for a real dive.

Scooping up the rock he hurried back over to show his new friend his special toy. "I jwas pwaying with dis." he said bringing the sparkly smooth rock up closer so Nero could look at it better. "I dwas pwaying unda wata wescu." he continued babbling on.



Jayoku nodded her head and giggeled watching Nero, he seemed to be a fairly shy boy. "Yah shopping isn't too much fun. but at least with groceries it is often stuff you need." she said replying to Axel's answer to her question.

"Swim? he is still awkward at it, but he is a born natural. I am making sure he knows the basics before i will take him to a bigger pool." she said with a nod of her head.

The scorpion child beamed at the praise to his tail, and then enthusiastically examined the extended shiny rock. "U-under w-water rescue?" He echoed, head tilting itself to one side slightly. What was that? He'd never heard of that game before. And he never met anyone who played with rocks, either. "H-how d'yo-you pla-play?" He stooped down slightly so he was closer to the younger child's height, feeling more comfortable that way.

He set his grocery bag onto the ground, claws clacking idly.

Axel peered into one of his many bags, "Yeh, but they have so much crap now I don't even know what the hell I'm buying or need to buy most of the time." He smiled crookedly and looked back up towards the woman as she answered his earlier question.

"Ah, yeah. What kinda animal is he, anyhow? Seems like some kind of lizard or something.." But then again, he wasn't the best when it came to animals. "Nero doesn't mix with water too well."

Chath seemed more than enthused to have someone interested in what he was doing. "Wat i does is pwtend dis wock is a bwaot dat has sunk. Den i goes and wescues it." he sad as he then tossed the rock back into the kiddy pool. It landed with a ploop sound before promptly sinking to the bottom. "Swee? it dwosn't fwoat." he continued pointing to the fully submerged stone. "nwo i haf to goes wescu it."

Jayoku giggeled at Axels remark about all the stuff he had bought, watching as Chath tossed his rock back into the pool and was now pointing to it. She often wondered what was going through that kids mind.

"Um...he is newt. the techs didn't tell me which specific species but he is most definately a newt." She said with a slight shiver. Her mind was looking over Nero and suddenly she asked, "Does Nero glow under a black light?" she had known most scorpians tend to glow when exposed to a black light, she was just curious if he did as well.

Nero listened intently, nodding after the boy finished explaining his game. "O-ooh.... C-can yo-you s-swim g-good?" He questioned idly, wondering if the smaller child was any better at that than he was. After all, the scorpion child couldn't swim if his life depended on it. Water confused him for some reason, mostly because he had to get all of his legs and eyes in line, and he had yet to gain complete and total control of them.

Axel smiled slightly, watching the newt child with curiousity, "Cool..." He was a fan of slimy critters, after all. They were neat. He turned his head as he was questioned, one brow arching slightly, "Glow...? Hm, well... Haven't tried it yet. I'm not sure, to tell ya the truth." He shrugged slightly.

Chath waddeled back over to where his rock had sunk and gave Nero a big grin. "I am de bwest swimmar in da wold." he boasted and he reached down and retrieved his rock with out even a splash. Toddeled back over to Nero holding onto his prize. "Do yous svim?" he asked looking hopeful the scorpian child might decide he would want to play as well.

Jayoku gave a small laugh. "well black light aren't expensive, maybe he will find it interesting that he could glow. might be a neat experiment for you two." she continued and finally seemed to notice Nero's stutter. SHe wondered if he was just shy or just stuttered all the time. SHe felt it wasn't any of her business to ask.

The boy gave the best applause he could with a set of claws, seeming most pleased by the younger child's actions. "W-wow!" He hesitated a moment, thinking upon Jekel- "I-I got a f-friend wh-who's real g-good at sw-swimmin' t-too..." Which one would be better...? But then again, he'd seen his shark friend swimming in real deep waters.. "M-me?" He looked shocked at the question. "S-swim..?" His head lowered sheepishly, only two eyes remaining on the other child, "A-a little..." He'd only swam once before, after all, with a huge floaty... "N-not too g-good.." He almost added in the water was kind of scary, but he managed to hold back on that one.

"Or scary." Axel chuckled knowingly, watching his charge with interest. "He's a skiddish little guy." And that was just tipping the iceburg, but he decided not to go any more into detail.

Chath beamed at Nero, for once his ego getting stroaked many times. "A fwiend? he swims gwood two?" he said looking interested abot this friend of Nero's. The rock slipped from his webbed figners and plunked into the water where it was briefly ignored for a moment.

"Youv not gwood swimr?" he looked a bit dissapointed but his face brightened quickly. "I cwould twech ya!" he said enthused his little hand darting out to grab Nero's claw. He tugged a bit. "Cwome in, da wada is shawo." he enforced with another small tug. His face looked bright as if he was performing some wonderful deed.


Jayoku raised an eyebrow an Axel's brief description and noticed her young charge was attempting to pull Nero's into the wadding pool. "Chath, Let Nero decide what he wants to do. Don't be so pushy." she quipped to the young boy, who looked at her with mild surprise. He didn't think he was being pushy.
