Welcome to Gaia! ::

Amihan seemed to be more excited about the upcoming playdate than her son. She had a duffel bag -stuffed with snacks, drinks, wipes, band-aids, books, and toys- slung over one shoulder while a smaller satchel was strapped to her body.

"C'mon Avi~ We don't wanna keep Mr. Sheffield waiting~" she said, urging the little hybrid forward.

--------------

Avilan wasn't looking forward to the playdate. Not that he had anything against someone he's never met but he didn't quite like how his mum kept prefacing her friend's name with "Mr." He'd asked whether she called him that because he was a super duper old person and his mum just laughed.

Then she swore him to never ask the question in front of Mr. Sheffield, which meant Avi knew what he was gonna ask when they were introduced.

Avilan turned his blue eyes towards the voice and they narrowed in judgment, "That depends. Am I gonna hafta say Mister or Miss in front of your name?" He folded his arms in front of him as his wings spread open behind him, trying to make himself look bigger and intimidating. Except his already fluffy tail frizzed out and each sweep he made kicked up leaves and twigs.

----------

Amihan did not panic, though it was a very tempting course of action especially when her son began a very interesting impression of a vespercat trying to stake a territorial claim. She pressed a hand lightly atop his head, giggling nervously as she was about to chide him when Sheffield came into view.

She waved to him and without missing a beat joined in the introductions, "This is Avilan, Mr. Sheffield." She glanced down at her son, "What do we say?"

----------

Avilan let his wings fold behind him as his mum verbally prodded him. "Hello, nice to meet you, I guess." Blue eyes studied Cardiff and then Sheffield and back to Cardiff before remarking, "Your dad don't look that old."
