Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chick, click. "Come on baby." Ul chimed as she put the van into park and undid her seatbelt. Truthfully, Teagan new better than to try and undo himself, even though he was old enough to, she didn't trust him not to try and get loose during a ride, and on that thought, she had installed double belts to keep the child restrained. She closed the driver's side door and hauled open one of the back doors before climbing in to unbuckle him.

Teagan bounced up and down in his seat as she struggled to let him loose, he was going to make a new friend today! Nothing was better than a new friend, but a new friend and ice cream, that was SUPER good! "Hurry Momma!" He squealed, reaching down to help her, though he was slowing her down more than helping.

"Just, hold on baby. The store isn't going to get up and walk away. There." The buckle popped open, letting the child leap up, nearly hitting his head on the roof. He scrambled down and ducked out of his mother's grip, hopping out the door under her arm. She sighed and backed out, sliding the door shut with a clunk. "Careful baby, you won't get to have any ice cream if you get hit by a car."

He ran in place, making a series of impatient noises as he waited for her, taking off the second she grabbed his hand. "Haaaaiiii!" he called, tugging her toward the building at a dead run.

Breaking free of his mother, Teagan made a beeline for the table, twitching his ears as he settled to a stop beside it, dropping down into a sitting position. He at least waited until Ul had caught up to start babbling, at which point his fixed his attention on Karoko, his head buzzing with the words that were coming out of his mouth at near warp speed, "Hi I'm Teagan! What's your name, thos are neat wings. Do you like ice cream? I like ice cream, I like leafie ice cream, but momma says she's the only one that makes that so I have to try something new. Do you like trying new things? Why are you hiding, do you hide alot? Is it fun? Can I hide with you?"

Ul blinked curiously, staring at him for a moment before she smiled and looked toward Noharu. Holding out her hand, she cast another wary glance to her child and then spoke, "My name's Ul, and well, that's my little spitfire Teagan. Should I.. Pull him back?"

Teagan pouted, letting his ears fall back against his head. He leaned forward a bit, concentrating on the girl. In a quieter voice this time, maybe she was like Mora, with a my-gravy or somethin, he spoke again, "Are you ok?"

Ul cast another cautious glance toward Teagan before dropping her bag near the table and looking in toward the counter, "It should only take me a moment, he's currently obsessed with mango, hopefully they'll have some kind of sorbet." She reached into her pocket and pulled out what looked like a little remote, setting it on the table she continued, "If he gets distracted and starts running away, could you push this button? He's got a little homing device sewn into the back of his pants, gives him a little shock when it's activated, should get his attention at least."

Ul smiled, a bit too oblivious to notice the look, sure, her punishments for Teagan were a bit.. Odd, but at least they worked. She pulled the door open with one last glance, then stepped through to get some nice cool treats.

Teagan looked a bit confused, then donned a wide smile, reaching up to touch his own ears, which he'd perked right back up. "Fuzzly ears!" He explained, keeping the quieter tone, few words, but he was obviously proud of them. His tail flicked around his side into view, "And fuzzlier tail!"

"Hi Karrrrrroko!" He chimed, concentrating on the R in an attempt to get it right. "Those are nice wings you've got." Momma always told him saying nice things sometimes made people know you want to be their friend. "And pretty blue eyes!"

Teagan sat there for a moment, twitching his ears as he tried to figure out what she was doing, then gave a bit of a stifled yelp when it clicked in his head, "Oh! I get it, here!" He scuttled over to the bag and pulled out his favorite shiny, it seemed to be Mora's favorite too, a little handheld mirror. With a little smile he scuttled back under the table and held out a hand to help her up, the mirror still clutched in his other hand.

Contrary to his usual behavior, Teagan actually let her settle again before he flipped the mirror open and held it out, giving her a clear view of her own blue eyes. "Blue" he repeated, tapping his shorts to show that they were blue too, just not as bright.

Ul pushed the door open cautiously, half expecting to be attacked my the child when he smelt the fruity ice cream. When he didn't she blinked and looked around, then looked a bit more confused when she spotted him under the table, sitting still. Odd, he never sat still for more than a second before getting bored. Well, at least he was being quiet.. Quiet? She settled herself at the next table over, not wanting to disturb them. "Has he, was he behaving this whole time?" she asked quietly, more out of sheer curiousity than anything else.
