Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vin whistled a happy tune. Listening to his voice echoing out through the stagnate air. The two where heading out yet again to the beach. It seemed to be there favorite local spot to relax and have some fun... and on the plus side it kept the little blue baby content.

The wild elf adorned in a full body of tattoos removed his shoes just as soon as they finally hit the sand that lined the grain plane from the smooth concrete sidewalk.
"Yay we... are finally here!" Vin said smiling down on the grumpy looking Arranos. The baby obviously had a look of 'let me down' written across his face, but his guardian wasn't going to allow such a thing.
"I'll let you down in a minute," Vin mumbled, reaching around to retrieve the rolled up brown colored towel from his backpack.

The guardian set down the child and began unrolling the soft towel out. Unaware of what Arranos was getting into.

A bright red and white looking creature began to scurry across the sand. Kicking up sand with every foot step it took. Arranos saw this and instantly thought of the animal as a toy. With a happy resounding gurgle the giggle. The blue baby began his hunt.

The young red haired man stepped onto the soft sandy beach, but his arms were occupied with a small four-armed bundle of white haired joy. Though joy didn't seem to be what crossed the infant's face as she buried her face into the crook of the man's neck. Obviously the child was objecting to something about the environment. The man glanced down at the back of the child's head as he was unable to efficiently move his head to get a proper look.

Blaed sighed a bit jostling her gently to get her to lift her head away from his neck. It didn't seem like a good idea to let the fanged infant anywhere near his neck. Not to say he didn't trust the babe, but still accidents did happen. He didn't particularly feel like being a statistic.

"C'mon, Metis, it isn't that bad out here is it?" Blaed muttered to the child in a cajoling tone as she indignantly looked up at him for the jostling. The child referred to as Metis only gave a soft unhappy whine and squinted at him as if to make a point.

Lucien lifted his hand up to run it through his hair, brushing it back. He didn't say anything just watched the other man and the child before looking down at Nova's crystal, curious upon whether or not what he was guessing was true. He wanted to ask but would it seem a little off? To go up to someone at random and go 'excuse me but is your child an Iridae?' instead he sat down in the sand looking over the water but listened closely.

Maybe he would get a clue that would tell him what he needed to know? Then he would be able to ask them things he'd not been able to ask the Medium. He gave a sound of relief as a few of the bugs flittered off, butterflies, to move lazily about Arranos seeming drawn to him due to his coloring, maybe they thought him a flower Lucien thought to himself.

Vin's elf ears perked. Hearing the rustling of sounds behind him in the distance. Stiffening his pose, Vin turned his head to the left to see who it was that had arrived at the beach.

It was a man. Clad in red and black, one who had to be the oddest looking people he had ever seen in his life... but that’s not what caught his Elvin eyes. It was the gem hanging off his neck. A six winged butterfly with a smoke pouring out of it. Vin's eyes grew large in size as he quickly turned away.
Are they stalking me now?

Vin shook his head and smiled down to Arranos. The baby had a grumpy looking grin on his face. Peering over his guardians shoulder. Arranos' pinched his eyes and he focused on the child with multiple arms. Making a grabby hand reach out motion with his own hand.

Vin gave Arranos a pat on the but as he sat the child down on there brown towel. Obviously trying to ignore the two as much as possible.

Metis merely copied the waving motion with her own hand looking quite befuddled at the motion. It didn't seem logical to her, but weird looking man seemed interesting enough for her to consider echoing actions back at him.

The red-haired man glanced over at Lucien as he spoke and blinked grinning lightly, "I was going to ask you the same thing," he indicated to crystal about Lucien's neck which had a wisp coming from it. It showed that he had indeed noticed the crystal as well, but he didn’t show it when sitting next to the young man, "I just got a bit sidetracked is all. Yes, my little one is an Iridae." He responded to the question easily. Blaed felt he could at least trust Lucien since he also had a crystal. The red haired man was, however, not sure what to assume about the blue child and the elf.

The four-armed infant was now noticing movement and was watching Vin and Arranos. The blue child was now within her sight and he was making grabbing motions. The white haired girl canted her head slightly to the left. It was bright outside, but at least there were enough interesting individuals to keep her occupied.

Lucien gave a sigh of relief then smiled, "Yeah, she is too." He said, motioning to the one around his neck. He could relax a bit now, had the man not known what he was talking about he didn't know how he would have reacted, no doubt have been rather embaressed. He looked over to Metis for a moment then back to the crystal, "Its hard to believe that this crystal will change into a child." He said, his long scorpion tail swishing back and forth behind him.

He was having a bit of a hard time articulating it would seem. He gave a bit of a laugh, "Sorry, I don't often go up and talk to people at random." He said glancing over to Blaed, "Was a bit curious though, if I am bothering you feel free to tell me."

Arranos eyed the wavering string on the multi-limbed girls wings. Causing a bit of drool to run down his mouth. It looked like the most enjoying thing in life to chew on. Arranos began to budge and crawl over his guardians lap.

"Did you two say Iridae?" The elf called out. Keeping his frail figure turned away from the other two. Unsure of what he should do in this kind of situation. Vin was beginning to worry, two more Iridae. They must have fallen for some odd reason. Vin looked down at Arranos. Wondering why he had fallen himself.

"Sorry I don't mean to edge my self into your conversations... it's just the moment seemed to be right!"

"Nice to meet you, Lucien," he replied with a nod to the introduction. Blaed glanced down to make sure Metis was where he had put her last, on his lap, and she was.

Metis hadn't moved since she was placed there. She just staring at Arranos and watching how he reacted. The little girl did find it disturbing that there was a thin line of moisture coming out of his mouth. What was that?! Her small forehead wrinkled a bit. Did stuff like that come out of her mouth, too? Metis watched somewhat warily now.

Blaed glanced at the elf-like figure as he spoke up and chuckled, "Feel free to come talk with us, since you seem to know what we speak of," he invited, "I will try not to invade your personal bubble." He seemed to say as a promise. Vin seemed like he'd appreciate that sort of thing. Blaed himself had no 'personal bubble' of which he could ascertain.
