Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gil barreled as the grassy lawn as fast as his legs would carry him. He had escaped, gotten away from those who would keep him captive and now he was free to explore. Well in his mind anyways, in reality Malen was walking slowly after him refusing to let him get out of sight.

For the moment though Gil didn't care, he was outside seeing the world. Malen had kept him inside the past few days making certain Gil knew enough of how things were supposed to go before he was allowed outside. Of course the inside of his house had been pretty interesting too but there was only so much space in an apartment to explore.


Spotting someone else his age he adjusted his course to head towards them. " Hey" yep that was it, just hey that was all Gil could manage while running.

Unable to get a proper feel for the bottom of his feet on the ground through his shoes Gil failed to make a proper stop and tumbled to the ground right in front of Dorian. In the process he got a mouthful of grass, which in Gil's opinion tasted pretty good sort of sweet.

He would have furthered his exploration on the taste of grass if he hadn't been a bit more interested on the other boy. Rolling onto his back he stared up with bright green eyes at the boy who reminded him somewhat of himself. They even boy had eye wear though His were read and called goggles, they'd been given to him by Del.

"Hi Dorian, I'm Gil."

Malen hung back watching the boy's interact. For the moment has going wrong so he'd let them be.

Rolling over and crawling to his feet Gil let his gaze followed Dorian's finger. He'd seen the creature before and nodded " Yes on the thing I can't watch." The show his name had come from, the one with the smart person people liked. Gil wanted to be smart like that, to be liked.

Remembering Dorian's half question he looked at the other boy " Am I?' Was he what?

Gil shrugged off Dorian's refusal to answer and gave his own. " The thing on the t.v the show I can't watch. With the bugs and stuff." He supposed Malen had been right about that, his first night after watching his name show he'd had horrible dreams about bugs all over him that had made him wake up screaming.

Gil looked at the sleeping guardian and smiled, Malen did that just laid down and slept sometimes . Sometimes it was eve on the net thing on the porch.

At the question Gil nodded dark green bangs falling into his eyes . He gestured wildly in the direction Malen should have been. " Yeah an he's nice an I have a sister and a dragon and little dragons." He boasted,a bit proud of his large family.

Malen waved at the boys despite the fact that Gil wasn't really looking at them. The bounty hunter was content to lean against a wall and watch while th Guardian slept.

Gil stared at Dorian, why had he done that" Couldn't he smell the inchy thing without breaking it. Still the prospect of adventure soon sweapt away any doubts about the boy he had. " Ok, a bright one maybe bright smells better becuase it's light and dark smells bad becuase it's dark."

Gil was also curious about bright ones might taste, he wouldn't squish them to find out though he wouldn't want to taste the inside just the bright part.


Malen smiled at the other guardian " Hey, having a good nap?" he teased good naturedly. He himself was prone to napping when he had spare time, not that there was much of it these days with Gil around

" Malen, just Malen" The bounty hunter said taking the offered hand. He had missed the other's mans swift evaluating look but it didn't bother him any. He enjoyed being looked at, especially after the disaster with Ianna. " Kids certainly don't leave much time for sleeping, is he your first?" Malen inquired. He knew that with Del he;d been up all the time panicking as a first time parent. reloading a gun on the run and learning to shoot from a moving vehicle or tackling a tentacled alien was nothing like trying to figure out how to say no to a keep or keep them in your sights.

He laughed softly at his lament about bug smelling " I doubt they let anything on the grounds that can hurt him. Besides it's a kid thing, they explore the world with one sense or another. My now oldest daughter licked the easter eggs she found at an easter egg hunt last year. It was weird but not really a problem."

Gil nodded " Sure" oh for sure he'd share but he was going to taste it first becuase he wanted to do that before it got squished. Pulling down his goggles colouring the world red he began to hunt around for a bright bug.

" It's Gaia this planet will trap you into kids if you're not careful Having been raised on Earth it was somewhat of a shock when I came to live here. When I finally started getting children it was awkward at first.."he laughed softly " I have three children that were given to me, Kishi who's on her own now, Del who's out with her dragon and Gil. I also have an adoptive daughter sort of named Coailiann from a previous relationship " he sighed at the last bit. hey supposed Kay was the only good thnh to come out of that relationship. " Be careful once you have one the powers that be seem to know and give you more." As he spoke Malen finger his violet and navy braid. It was getting a bit long. Perhaps he should cut his hair again soon.

Gil went over to Dorian and stared at the caterpillar. Through his goggles it looked orange, But it was still bright. He held out his hands for the caterpillar " Let me try." It was a bright bug, who cared if it was fuzzy, whatever fuzzy was.
