Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You like death, Iamel. Now play with Kian."

The Bird eyed his new brother with wariness in his eyes. While Kian was just a baby, he had teeth like Akilah and his bites were more vicious then the hyper meerkats. Iamel did not ENJOY pain...

This, he would later learn, was a flaw. For now, though, he simply stared at the glowering black ball of Alien-baby and folded his arms across his chest. Kian seemed to ignore him, wriggling his fingers in front of his face as if he were high. It would've seemed like the other was being blocked out fully... if not for that one middle eye sliiiiiding up to stare straight at Iamel.

He squeaked, hopping away slightly. "Ugh. Shiniee, please. He's gonna bite me!"

"No he won't. He's a cuddly little thing!" Patricks voice was nearly oozing sweetness, scooping the boy up before they started on their trek to the park. "..well, maybe he's not a cuddly little thing." Kian had curled up in a tight ball against Patricks chest, tail twisting around him protectively, "But he's killed loads of people, stuck in a new body on a new planet and you blow things up. You have a lot in common."

"Isn't catbitch supposed to be coming?"

"Mordread will be coming to the park with us, yes. Start using his goddamn name!"

"STING !" Andraste shouted out for the sixth or seventh time as Otieno was about to hit a bee with his wooden shoes. Finally he had found a way to make good use of them.

Nila just watched the brother from her own spot on the warm blanket at the park and seemed to express a lot of disgust even though she was just a baby.

"And get off that strange pet !" The mother muttered under her breath. Since he had received the Beom for Easter, he had developed a strange habit to carry it around on his head.

Right now it looked pretty much like a blue stone mask. It was a wonder that the pet was so patient and that the bee hadn't killed him yet.

"BOM!" Otieno cried out and laughed.

Where had the otter gone to ? Andraste's head started to hurt.

Much better. You're a god send, Iamel, a really large godsend.

It seemed Dax's "English" Personality was showing today. Scary.

Mordread shook his head and reached up, checking to see if the bird drew blood. He did. Growling softly, "I swear if he was a normal bird..." he turned to look at Patrick, "Our kids are going to kill us one of these da--"

Cut off by Patrick's shout to someone he vaguely recognized as the lady with the otter he had met briefly, he shrugged, "Hello there!" he called, wondering if the woman recognized him or not.

His tail flicked quietly, "Gah, got any asprin?"

His mind was all over the place today.

"Gah.." Patrick would've blushed if he had a little less melenin. His face simply heated up, one hand holding Kien while the other tugged down his shirt self-conciously. "Yeah. The knocked up guy. THANKS, fishbaby momma."

He grinned and put Kian down carefully once they were closer to the others. "Who's the new kiddlet? With clogs, no less! How's the fishbaby? How're you? Where's Cosa?"

Iamel just blinked.

Andraste wondered why Mordread didn't want to join them, but she knew that it was good to take a time-out once in a while. Instead she turned to Patrick and grinned.

She was just about to say something as Nila crawled towards the man and looked up as if she wanted to tell him something.

"Oh no, you have conjured a spell on the fishbaby." Andraste grinned and pointed at Otieno, who was slowly sliding his pet off his face to reveal a bit of his eyes to stare at Iamel. "You !" He snarled.

"That's Otieno. He's a criminal. Well, he was...I guess. The thing on his head is his new pet. Cosa had wandered off to play tennis, I guess. His new sport, you know ?"

Pointing at Kien she grinned. "And who's that ?"

Iamel just glared back at the little crimminal, face set into an expression of 'I-am-better-then-you' arrogence. "What about me?" he shot back at the toddler, earning himself a thwack across the head from his father.

The bird winced, ducking and still glaring at the little crimminal. Kian, however, was fascinated by Otieno. 'Crimminal', the woman had said.. people had used that same word to talk about him and that girl with the piggie-tails.

Did that mean this crimminal was a crimminal like him? Sent here? Like him? Another one??

So one chubby finger, red-tipped at the nails, pointed directly at the other crimminal. Kian was silent, all three eyes on the little blue thing. Curious.

Iamels attention was dragged away by Riycan, head qiurking to the side. "...Mork? The plushie thing? ....uh. How do I stop her? I can't run that fast."

Patrick smiled, giving his lover a soft pet before ducking down, picking Nila up and tickling at her gently. "Here there, fishbaby! How've you been? Have you been being a good girl for mommy and otter-boy?" He glanced up at Andraste, still grinning, "Tennis, huh? Akilah's been getting into soccer.. He bites the ball less, anyway, and kicks it around."

Paying more attention to Jera than anythign else Riycan tripped over the shoe and skidded across the grass.Looking up he glared in the direction the shoe had come from " That's it you're next you little whatever the hell you are, all you blue creatures have to go" he growled more in anger cuased by embarrasment than true rage.

Jera paused no longer needing to run since her persuer was downed. Amused by her unexpected accomplices action she trotted over to him and offerd the pilfered plushie as a token of appreciation.

" Uh guys carefull she kicks" Nyx warned and started walking towards the group. Hopefully Jera would have the good sense not to try and injure any of the other young children that were gathered in the park.

Nila giggled and kicked her small legs in joy. She didn't understand what he was saying, but he said her name. Her different names.

Andraste grinned. "Well, well, there she goes, first love."

Otieno grinned and petted his turtle as Jera came closer. He wasn't scared of her as the other ones seemed to be. She even offered him something. His claws accepted it with a nod. Thanks was something he hadn't learned yet. At least something he hadn't intended to learn.

Andraste turned to Nyx as she heard the warning. "Oh don't worry, he's all claws and bites."

Otieno hissed at her and then shoved his pet slowly towards Jera. "Bom." He simply stated. His companion should get to know the other one. Perhaps they could plot something. He hissed at the one who had tripped and grinned.

There were more though. He shoved the teddy towards Kian. He had enough plushies ripped at home, this other one was allowed to have it. The dark skin colour scared him though. It reminded him of the night.
