((Only people with a Tall Tale can join n.n))
Avitus didn't understand why his bonded insisted they get out of the Stationery Store and go to this... park. He frowned at the very thought of going to a location where people purposely gathered at.
"Why'd we go?" he demanded for the nth time since they've left.
Linneas sighed and kept his temper in check, it seemed Avi wasn't even going to try and have fun on this little trip. Truth be told Linneas felt it would help Avitus change his perspective on people coming together if he was around more of them. They didn't necessarily have to interact with him, they'd just have to be around them.
And the park seemed like a good idea at the time...

Munich looked bored, sitting atop Rhea's head indian style, her chin resting on a palm. "Are we almost there?" she asked, sighing. "What's this talk about a park?" The Feien huffed and tugged on a few strands of Rhea's hair in impatience.
Rhea swatted at the fairy perched on her head, not really wanting to hit her, but to just come close enough to scare her a bit. "Ouch!" she cried, feeling the sharp tug on a very few strands of hair. "Quit it! We're going to the park because I said so! Now stop pulling my hair and being mean. You're always at the HQ when I'm in town, and today, you're hanging out with me. You're my bond after all," she replied, figuring they should get to know each other eventually.
She turned her head to look around, wondering if anyone she knew would be there. Last time she came, she had met up with Tiwaz and Angelus, and had explored a music store. You just never knew what would happen when you were out and about, she figured.

"Home! Home! Home! Home!" Avitus repeatedly demanded of his bond upon arriving at the park. To his bonded's credit, Linneas had chosen a fairly secluded bench that was a good distance from where most of the people were.
"What? You want to live here? Or do you want to go home?" Linneas teased, hoping to get the Feien in a better mood. The Tale liked being in the park as it gave him a chance to relax and think about what he wanted to do. That and it also distracted him from those weird dreams...

"Well, I guess I'll just make the best of it," the Feien sighed, crossing one arm over the other defensively. "Maybe it could be a tiny bit of fun." Her downturned frown twitched, almost becoming a straight line...Would the mean little fairy decide to have some fun?
Munich looked around, and noticed a tall, red-haired boy sitting on a bench on the far side of the park, all by himself--or at least that's what she saw upon first glance. Squinting her eyes to see better in the bright sunlight, she noticed that the boy had a tiny creature with him...a creature that looked much like she did.
Suddenly getting excited, Munich stood up on Rhea's head and pointed toward the boy and the Feien. "Look! It's another Feien. Let's go talk to him!" she demanded, always curious about meeting new Feien.
"Well good, I'm glad you've decided to take a positive attitude toward our little adventure for the day. You never know who you'll meet," Rhea replied, smiling. Maybe today the little fairy would change her tune.
Seeing the boy as well, Rhea headed over to him, and the closer she got, the more familiar the boy's smell was. Could he be a Tale like her? No way! she thought. What an interesting chance meeting this may turn out to be. As she neared him, she waved. "Hi!" she said, walking over to the bench. "I think I should know you," she stuck out her hand for a proper handshake--of course. "I'm Rhea."

Avitus was beginning to relax when he spotted a figure approaching them. He tensed and his frown deepend to a scowl as he purposely turned his back to the approaching person. He didn't even bother to take the time to notice the figure had a Feien with her.
Linneas noticed the shift in weight on his shoulder, he had barely glanced at what Avi had done when a young girl just marched right up to him and introduced herself. She was a rather brave one, wasn't she?
'Think of it as a good thing, Linny. No one thinks you're a threat, because you're such a wuss.' Lynn snickered.
The teen ignored the voice.
"Really now?" Linneas smiled back as he accepted the proffered hand. "I'm Linneas, pleasure to meet you Rhea. Wait, Rhea... where have I heard that name before?" he wondered, tapping his chin thoughtfully.

Munich flew down from Rhea's head, and landed next to Avitus, slightly irritated that he hadn't acknowledged her presence. "Hello." She gave him a light tap on the shoulder, trying to encourage him to turn around. "I'm Munich. Who're you?" Munich loved meeting new Feien. The more audience she had, the better.
"Nice to meet you Linneas," the little Tale said, smiling up at him. He was quite a bit taller than she was--even taller than Angelus! But he smelled like a Tale...you could always smell them coming. "Well, I'm guessing you've heard my name around the Stationary Shop...Are you a Tale too? You certainly give off a familiar smell. But it's a good smell...not stinky at all!" She giggled, pleased to meet this new person. She wondered if the Feien he was with was his...

Avitus didn't even glance back despite Munich's efforts. In fact, he got up and flew over to Linneas' other shoulder, away from the other Feien.
"You'll have to forgive Avitus, he doesn't like being around anybody." Linneas apologized to Munich on the Feien's behalf. He did hope Avitus would eventually be a little more tolerant of other people's presence, and especially of other Feiens.
Linneas listened intently to Rhea's chatter, now he remembered. "Oh right, you're the Tale that Ning says likes to ask questions." he laughed, "And you can smell Tales? That's neat, I can only tell if something smells good or bad and everyone can do that."
Avitus' eyes widened as he heard Linneas say his name. No! Now the other Feien would know what to call him and won't stop pestering him now. His scowl deepened and he suddenly wished he had spurs on his feet so he could dig them in Linneas' shoulder. But he'd have to make to by telling him off once they get back.

Munich could not believe what was happening. Was the other Feien ignoring her? It couldn't be...She'd have to make him pay attention if he wasn't willing to do it himself.
Hearing the Feien's name spoken by his bonded, Munich smiled slyly to herself. This should be rather interesting...Avitus eh?
"Well, I guess he doesn't," she nodded, scowling over at the seemingly pouty Feien. "How can he even stand to be around you?" she inquired, honestly curious about Avitus' relationship with his bonded. For now, she'd give him a break. But she hoped the break wouldn't have to last too long...
Rhea just watched as the Feien with blue markings moved deliberately away from Munich. She couldn't help but stiffle a giggle. She wouldn't have wanted to be around Munich either. Good thing this kid could feel out the vibes before he got in too deep!
Looking at Linneas, Rhea smiled. "Yeah! I remember Ning! I met it when I first came out of the tome. I was pretty excited to be here, so I'm sure I bombarded Ning with far too many questions," she replied, looking down at her hands. "Well, I guess a lot of Tales can smell others like us. I know Jiro and Angelus can do it, and I can distinguish your smell faintly. I'm not so good at it as the boys are," she continued, nodding.

Avitus frowned simply because Munich was still there and talking to Linneas of all people!
"It's getting crowded." he declares, mismatched eyes glaring at Linneas, as if willing his bonded to get up and leave.
"I don't really know how Avi- ow!" Linneas yelped as he felt tiny nails dig into his neck. He rubbed the spot and glared back at the Feien, "I don't really know how Avitus can stand to be around me. But I'm guessing it's because he has no choice and I give him his space if he really needs and deserves it." Linneas shrugs.
He returns his attention to Rhea, "I saw Angelus just recently, he grew since the last time I saw him." he smiles findly at the mention of the younger Tale. "And Ning's fine, although she's a little wary of the younger Tales now." he adds with a laugh.
Linneas wasn't getting up? Why!? "Linneas, moooooove!!" he whined.

Munich giggled as she watched Avitus claw his bonded. They were so similar, she thought, smiling at the Feien with bicolored eyes. She was sure that they could be friends...if only he wasn't so--perpetually annoyed.
"Well, he sure does seem to enjoy torturing you," she commented. "Maybe he wouldn't do it so much if you did what he wanted..." Her small voice trailed off as she arched backward to take another glance at the Feien on Linny's other shoulder. Flying up and over to him, she hovered in the air next to him. "Avitus. Pleasure to meet you. You're difficult to talk to you know...Do you really not like other Feien?" And then, she followed up with a whisper, hands cupped around her mouth. "And do you like watching your bonded twitch in discomfort? I know I do." She said, giving him a smirk and a wink, and then flying over to Rhea's shoulder once again.
Rhea smiled at Linneas, nodding in understanding. "I get pinched by this one all the time," she said, pointing to the Feien that was now sitting atop her right shoulder, running her small fingers through her short purple hair. "Sometimes, she's not so nice, but I think we're getting used to each other...right Munich?"
Munich just shrugged. "I guess. They really didn't take me too seriously when I complained at the Fleet HQ. I guess we'll be together for awhile, so I've tried to let some of my anger go." She muttered something intelligible under her breath, and then rolled her eyes, looking bored.
"Hey, you can go whenever you want fairy girl. I think you like me, regardless of what you say." She turned to face Munich, and quickly gave her small poke in the back jokingly.
Turning back to Linneas, Rhea smiled as she heard Angelus' name mentioned. "Yeah, he's so BIG now! I couldn't believe it! I hope I grow soon too, so I can catch up to him. I feel so small now..." She looked down and blushed a bit, then quickly recovered. "Well, I hope I didn't scar Ning too much. I've tried to stop asking so many questions all at once. It's easier to spread them out while you're talking to someone," she said, nodding.

Avitus involuntarily twitched at the sudden proximity of Munich. Before he had time to move away, the other Feien headed off. All the better! He agreed to go to Gaia because he was informed there were less nosy Feien here than in the fleet.
At least that was as much as he could remember after the memory wipe.
He didn't miss his previous bond, not her personally. He did miss how she didn't seem bothered to leave him alone and give him his space. Unlike his current bonded. He frowned in annoyance at Linneas. Oh well, at least he listened to his complaints and tried to do something about it.
Why couldn't he have both? It just didn't seem fair.
"Yeah I don't like other Feien who don't know about distance." he states, the whining lilt still present in his voice.
"Are all Feien this... physical?" Linneas asked Rhea in a stage whisper. "We haven't been together long, only a few days really." he adds, "We'll get used to each other. Eventually. Probably.
"Anyway I'm sure you'll grow eventually, Rhea. And asking questions are a good thing, although I do agree that asking too many at once gets very confusing for the other person."
Avitus didn't seem to agree with Linneas and began to complain about the weather being too humid, the sun too bright, the grass too green. He seemed to be trying to convince Linneas that they leave the park. NOW.
Unfortunately it didn't seem to be working.

Munich just stared down the other Feien from her bond's shoulder in an attempt to give him the evil eye. If she had some hex magic right now, she certainly would have used it. "Well, I don't like unpleasant, nasty Feien who want to have nothing to do with anyone," she shouted from her bond's shoulder.
Crossing her arms over her chest, her eyes slitted as they remained focused on the other Feien. "And here I thought we could be friends! But all you do is whine and complain like a baby!" She'd had just about enough of this Feien.
Rhea just giggled as she watched Avi and Munich fight from the Tale's shoulders. Though Munich wanted to get along with everyone on the surface, Rhea knew she was just waiting to find a good target...And Avi seemed like the perfect specimen at this juncture. She could only imagine the nasty things Munich was plotting to do to Avi.
"Well, Mun here is pretty physical...She's big on magic too though...She's got two brothers and a sister too, and all four of them are pretty physical I think," she nodded, wondering how Linneas would ever be able to get along with Avi. "Well, good luck. I'm sure you'll get to know each other better soon enough. Mun still doesn't like me all that much," she said with a giggle.
"I've tried really hard not to ask too many questions at one time. I think I get better answers when I spread them out," she said, her chest puffing out as if she was proud of overcoming her annoying habit of questioning. "I know I'll grow eventually too...I guess it's just a matter of when." She paused, and then looked up at the teen again. "Wait, you look really old...How long have you been on Gaia? You must be one of the first of our kind."

From his vantage point on Linneas' shoulder Avitus glared back defiantly. It didn't matter to him what this other Feien thought nor did it seem to bother him that she didn't like him and was voicing out her opinion of him.
"I haven't hit you and you haven't hit me. Doesn't being friends mean being nice?" At least that was how Avitus defined being friends. "Linneas not friend, so I can hit." he shrugs, folding his arms across his chest.
Linneas sighed as Avitus explained himself, he often had to think over what the Feien said to really understand what the message was. So they weren't friends, were they? Somehow this relieved Linneas more than it should have.
"Yes, we're not friends because we're bonded." He supplied.
"Yah, that's what I said." The feien rolled his eyes, honestly his bonded could be so dense.
The Tale felt himself twitch at being called 'really old.' He wasn't really old! He wasn't even old! His mom was old, but he was a teenager. "I guess I am the first one of us who arrived in Gaia, but I'm not old." he frowned, his brows knitting together.

Munich just returned the stare, wanting to see if he'd break first. She certainly wasn't going to be the first to stop glaring! Even so, she didn't know if she'd ever want to meet this one again. He was a rather unpleasant little beast in her eyes.
"Well Avitus," Rhea said, turning to eye the little fairy. "Hitting people isn't very nice, even if they aren't your friend. You know, your life energy comes partially from Linneas there...Without him, you couldn't survive," she stated, as if it were fact. "Munich and I aren't really friends either...but we have to coexist whether we like it or not. And of course, meeting new people always takes some getting used to," she said.
Munich piped up, still locked in a stare with the other Feien. "Yeah, I really really hated Rhea at first...but we sort of get along now. Of course, she doesn't want to do everything I want to do, but that's when I pinch her," she exclaimed with a sly smile. "At least she can help me with my plans..." she added, her voice trailing off a bit.
"You're the first!? Wow, that's so cool! I'll bet your mom had no idea what was going on right? WOW." The little psion's eyes went wide as she took a more careful look at the redhead. "Well, you're older than me! I'm just a kid, you know...So of course you're really old...but mom's older than you, so she must be really really really old!" Rhea had no concept of age...She just knew that she was ready to be older, like everyone else.

Avitus felt like he was being challeneged by Munich and her continuous glare. He narrowed his mismatched ones and looked away, not at all caring what the other Feien thought. His brows knitted as Rhea told him about his relationship with Linneas. Of course he knew that! He wasn't stupid.
"I don't kill Linneas." he retorted, obviously he just hit him from time to time whenever the Tale was being stupid and stubborn. Which to the Feien was everytime Linneas didn't listen to his complaints.
"It'll be a cold day in Hell when you can kill me." Linneas' lips spoke.
The Tale blinked in surprise, when did Lynn manage to speak? He had thought he had been in control all this time. "Er yeah, mom was, in her own words, 'freaked out' over the whole thing. Who's your mom?"
