Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Gangway!" the kio's cry rings out as he comes barreling along, hoping his voice would carry far enough that the other kin would actually hear the warning before realizing the need for it. He doesn't mean to crash into anyone. At least not in the malicious sense. But Hey's always loved being the center of attention, no matter the kind of attention it was.

Hey didn't so much mind going head over heels nor did he worry about the state of his dignity when he slammed into someone. He would have regained his balance and composure a lot faster had the cry not been so painful. His ears pressed flat against his head, legs flailing about as he whined, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorryyyyyy!!!" And the kio buck continued the mantra of apology even if the other kin had ceased their crying.

The kio eventually righted himself, his lips pulling into his best apologetic smile. But when his (real) eyes fell upon the doe he'd unintentionally run into, the smile froze. She was, what was she exactly? Other than absolutely fascinating and breathtaking that is.

Hey tried his best to look presentable, giving himself a quick shake to clear his fur, "I uh, was thinking, that is, um," he knew how his tongue works, right? He should probably remember how his brain functioned as well. A hasty cough, "You look amazing."

Wait, no, that wasn't what he was supposed to say! Too late to take it back now, it seemed.

"Yes," he began dumbly. "To all of what you said." His real eyes blinked when his brain finally caught up with his mouth. Oh Motherfather he was making such a fool of himself, "I-I mean-" A sharp intake of air.

"I wasn't thinking of anything while I was running. Just enjoying the thrill and feel of it. But then I realized I might have been going too fast and tried to warn kin, that is you, of my presence."

A beat.

"You still look amazing though."
