Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lance had been feeling surprisingly glum again as of late, but he felt that maybe, just maybe getting outside would have an effect to cheer him up.

He had walked several steps behind Mieke, Adonis and Vidya for quite awhile, only to have himself dragged forward, and towards the monkey bars. He yelped in surprise as he was pulled along, and blinked, his red eyes gazing towards Vidya, and at her enthusiasm.

How did she always manage to be so damn cheerful?

Well. Maybe it would wear off on him..

Maybe.

Tybalt had been coming to the park often since his encounter with Linneas. It was quiet there, usually, and he took any excuse possible to distance himself from his own household full of people and pets. The younger kids that also frequented the park often bothered him, with their shrieking, and pointing, and attempts to grab his feathers. He had gotten tired of their mother's complaints when he smacked them in retribution for the latter, and so had taken to climbing up and perching in the large tree that graced the middle of the park. It wasn't exactly a tree made for climbing, but Tybalt's claws made it easy for him. It was his spot, and his alone, and he reveled in that knowledge.

He had been in the midst of some daydream or another when a familiar voice caught his ear. His wings perked, outwardly displaying his hope that the voice belonged to who he thought it did, and he smiled as a glance through the tree's branches confirmed his suspicions. "Oi, Viddy!" he yelled from the tree, worming his way to an open spot before leaping into the open air. His wings unfurled and he glided towards the very play structure the three younger Tales were heading for. With a rustle of feathers and an elegant upward swoop, his talons caught the metal bars, and he stood atop it, a rare smile upon his face. It only widened as he caught sight of Donny, and didn't falter as he spotted Lance.

Lance's eyes darkened as his gaze fell upon Tybalt. Well. The bloody pirate had definately grown, and this strongly irritated Lance.

"M'going for a walk," he said, and before anyone could stop him, he turned to the left, and began walking towards the swingset.

He wasn't in the mood to deal with Tybalt. He hardly knew Adonis, and wasn't sure who's side the angelic being would be on.

"It's not about whose side," he told himself, his tail dragging behind him, his sword held just above the ground.

Always respect your weapon...

Tybalt's wings flared and stretched for balance as he began walking across the top of the monkey bars, intending to meet Vidya halfway. It had been quite awhile since he had seen his first mate, and he was eager to show off the effects of his growth. He crouched as he reached the first bar, reaching his arms down to help Viddy up--

--and narrowly missed getting knocked off the bars as Adonis shot upwards. He couldn't fault the boy, not really--after all, what was the point of having wings if they didn't benefit you? He tilted his head upwards, calling to the youngest Tale, "'Ey t'you too, Donny!"

((I'm posting out of turn simply cause I'm leaving until tomorrow night, so I don't wanna hold anything up <3))

Donny had at some point forgotten his goal when he floated upward, until he heard the Cap'n calling out to him. He fluttered down slowly, calling out a "HOY~!" before landing on the bars just above Tybalt and the glomp of blue now clung behind him. Donny rested his feet on the bars, but they slid, and instead he moved to sit on the bar itself, curving his legs around it so he could flip around and hang from it by his legs. He swung languidly, his head now even with the heads of the other two, and his blonde curls flying madly as they reached for the ground. Viddy was right, this place was fun!

He opened his mouth to let out a string of nonsense, but instead his head banged against the lower bar during a hard swing, and he dropped one hand to rest on his head, making a sour face.

"Owwah." He announced, more out of annoyance than pain.

Tybalt watched with a sense of pride as Viddy managed to scale the metal monstrosity all on her lonesome, and though he wobbled a bit as she pounced upon him. His hands immediately grasped the metal in an attempt to steady himself, and his wings and tailfeathers splayed for added balance. Even after he got his balance back, he kept his wings down. He didn't want to crowd Viddy, after all.

A warm smile touched his lips as he settled himself into a more comfortable position, one that wouldn't be so hard on his legs. "It seems y'do, lass! What d'ye plan t'do with me now that you've got me, hmm?" He chuckled as the head of Donny joined them, and winced sympathetically as the younger Tale smacked his head. "'Ow're th' two of you doin', other'n clumsy?"

The bump wasn't that hard, and though Donny scrunged his face up, he giggled softly. "Donny okay~" He chimed back in response, before pulling himself up and hanging off the bar by his hands instead of his knees. He dropped down to the bar below and flopped on it, wobbling unsteadily.

"Donny got a pretty dress for weddin' too but it's black not white like Viddy's." He announced, unaware that what he'd been given wasn't a -dress-, it was a little mini tuxedo. All he knew was the word Vidya used, and hence felt it was perfectly understandable to use the same word in his case.

Right?

He beamed proudly, unaware of what he'd just said, or how much ridicule it might spurn had he been in the wrong crowd. Hiw proud beaming faltered slightly for a moment as he lost his balance, and reached up with one chubby hand to hold onto the side of a bar to regain his balance. He had it covered.
