Looking up at the sign that proclaimed that the building before him was "Gambino's Premier Aquarium', Tang wasn't quite sure what to think--on the one hand, he was curious to see what was inside...but on the other, he couldn't help but think that Ki had been trying to get rid of him for the day--something about how she was "just going to be hammering out some prices with one of their buyers" that morning, and how "It'll be educational-something you sorely need".
Not being one to dwell on the sometimes odd notions of his guardian, Tang shrugged, moving up to the ticket window and setting the handful of somewhat-crumpled bills on the counter. Collecting the wristband that the girl behind the counter handed him in return, he made a face, but fastened it dutifully around his wrist before proceeding through the lobby and into the first room on his left. Reading the sign hanging in the wide doorway, it appeared that the room was going to be themed around geography--this first room appeared to be full of tanks of creatures from the Amazon...

It had taken Doucette an unusually long time to convince Revontulet to attend her school's field trip to the aquarium. Despite bargaining that no, the newborn would not have to stay with the kindergarteners, Ren still seemed reserved about the whole event. Usually the guardian had no trouble convincing the aurora to try something new, the other's curiosity and interest in learning something which seemed to only grow greater as she grew older.
But the aquarium did not seem to spark interest for whatever reason.
To be frank, it was really the word itself that made Revontulet crinkle her nose, for it sounded awkward and long on the Irish woman's tongue, even with a mild accent. What fun could a place be that had such an abysmal word to identify it? Ultimately it had been the promise of fish, and more than she could count, that had convinced the aurora that the aquarium was indeed a place she could visit and possibly even enjoy.
They had arrived perhaps a little while before the other frei had, for the young frei was in the second room at the far end, the gentle glow of the tanks casting a brilliant hue onto her pale skin and ombre locks. The wristband that he had scowled at looked like an elegant bracelet upon her frail appendage. A colourful plant had caught her attention rather than the creatures swimming about it, and Ren had dipped low to get a closer look, completely absorbed an unaware of the people that seemed to give her a wide berth.

Stopping to peer into some of the aquariums as he walked through the room, Tang ignored (as was typical) the odd stares his bright coloring garnered...aside from the occasional shift in a particularly obvious person's direction (poisonous fins front and center, of course). He probably could have sat and watched some of the predatory fish go about their business for quite awhile, if it was feeding time--but as it was, he found himself slowly making his way through the room, tapping gently on the glass where a sucker fish of some kind was plastered to the other side.
Pushing a lock of bright red hair out of his face, he straightened, surprised to see he was almost done with the first room...in fact it looked like there was only one more tank, on the other side of the door that led into the next area...
Floating purposefully in that direction, he almost ploughed into the small child that ran through the door, shrieking when they caught sight of the large, spiky, brightly colored thing about to fall over them. twisting slightly so as to avoid finning the child, Tang hit his shoulder hard on the corner of the doors that stood propped open. Muttering foully under his breath, and rubbing slowly at his abused appendage, he motioned that he was fine, brushing off a rather embarrassed parent's attempts at apologizing. "I've had a lot worse" He finally said, cutting them off with a wry half-smile.
By the time they finally walked away, most of the room was staring at him--so much for a discreet learning experience.kitten Sorry for potential lame biggrin heart and the slow, haha

The commotion had not gone unnoticed by the frei. Like the rest of the room, Revontulet had straightened and turned at the sound of the child's yell and her eyes had widened at the sight. Her gaze was equally probing as the two-leggers, but her neon blues held none of the confusion or concern as those around her. Instead she moved closer in her curiosity, waving through the crowd like a fish through seaweed as the collective took a step back, deciding if they wanted to go back to their business.
Soon they had, for the most part, and it was just the aurora floating there, brows slightly knit as she watched him rub at the sore spot on his shoulder. "You're ok?" The words were somewhere between a question and a statement, betraying the somewhat slackened grasp on language she held. Although her words were much higher than most frei's her age, they were not perfect.
Ren drifted a bit closer with a flick of her frail looking wings, his sharp edges a complete opposite to the smooth, polished surface of the moonstone that approached him, the tanks still casting an ethereal glow on the pale, exposed skin and hair that drifted behind her as if it were underwater itself.
She felt torn. Tradition dictated that in the movies the woman would have offered to look at the 'wound' and to soothe with comforting words and touch, but Ren didn't feel like this was a movie scene. The children were altogether too loud and the moment simply tainted by the covert glances that continued to be cast their way. Now there were two of them. Even more to take in.Vashtya Don't be silly! You're good! > w< <33
