I know, I know. And lots of space is good for a boy your age but -- [How to put this so that he could understand?] -- too much running around and you'll miss out on learning things and meeting people.
[Where's Sabin when you need him? He can explain things to Gau far better than he can ever hope to.]
[WHOOSH, that was the sound of those words sailing right over Gau's head. Sorry Edgar, you might not be as good as Mr. Thou at explaining things to Gau in a way that he understands, but look on the bright side, at least you didn't get a dopey nickname out of it.]
Still meet new people and learn things! Can do both. Learn new things on Veldt! [He drops into a battle-ready crouch to demonstrate. This is totally what you meant, right?]
Not making mess! See? [He holds out the edge of his sash just to show how not-messy he's being - he's not tracking mud all over the airship, or covered in jam or Relm's paints or anything!]
[Suddenly Gau gets a strange, secretive grin on his face - well, he looks like he's trying to be secretive anyway, but he doesn't really have the guile for it. You can blame Locke for this one!]
... TAG!
[And with that, Relm gets a playful one-handed shove to the shoulder, and Gau goes tearing off into the distance, on all fours no less!]
[And Gau's zigzagging all over the place! Life on the Veldt has made him pretty speedy, so good luck trying to catch him. When he finally starts to run out of breath, he clambers up a tree and hangs upside-down from one of the lower branches with a big toothy grin on his face. He's pretty confident that Relm won't be able to tag him from up there because she's short, nyah nyah, but on the other hand, his sash and mullet ponytail are both within reach, and his grip on that branch isn't too steady...]
[Oh Relm doesn't need speed. She paints a dragon and hops onto its back and chases after him that way. When she gets to the tree, she has the dragon headbutt the trunk.]
[Yeah, she knows that grin, it's the kind of grin that told her to stand back and let Sabin or Cyan take care of the whole "reasoning" thing. She's not that good with kids in the first place...]
Mm, it must be nicer now, then. There's plenty of room to run here, after all.
[... And Gau's just gonna stare back. Man, you're huge! But you don't seem like you're about to attack or anything, so you just get a curious head-tilt.]
Kim-aaahhh... ri? [Huh. At least your name's not too hard to pronounce. Gau stands up straight in all of his 5'3 glory and points to his own skinny chest.]

or Relm's paintsor anything!]Seeing a Gau makes me so happy. <3
And being covered in paint can be arranged.]I don't care. It's not fair. I wanna play too!
: 3
So we play! What Relm want play? [He drops into a low crouch, looking kind of like an eager puppy that's waiting for someone to throw a ball.]

... TAG!
[And with that, Relm gets a playful one-handed shove to the shoulder, and Gau goes tearing off into the distance, on all fours no less!]
Hahahaha YES. This is adorable. :D
[Flailing. That was so not cool!]
Hey! Get back here, you little jerk!
[And she takes off after him!]
>:D

/adding to the FFVI flood. GAU, YES.
['cause seriously, man, without Sabin and Cyan around to keep an eye on him...]
So much FFVI!
Lady say "too busy" before. Boring. But now can play and run!
:D
That's more like it! Just watch where you're running while you're at it. Wouldn't want to get yourself lost so soon.
[It's just. Good to see him around, okay.]
no subject
Yaoh! Not get lost, good sense of di-rec-tion. Know where is. [Another toothy grin!]
no subject
Sure you do. But sometimes it helps to know where everyone else is, you get me?
[That is, don't be a stranger, kid, Sabin and Cyan wouldn't let them hear the end of it if something happened to you.]
no subject
Uwaoh... Gau understand. Not lose others.
no subject
[But there we go. If splitting the earth and boiling the seas wasn't enough to keep their party apart, a little place like this would be a breeze.]
We'll be right here if you need us. Y'know, I have it on good authority Relm's looking for someone to play tag with.
[Not really, but he could use the entertainment.]
no subject
shiniesbest interests at heart!]Yaoh. [Gau nods, looking relatively serious for once. Until...]
Aaah! Gau good at tag! Good runner, very fast!
[Oh no. What is that glint in Gau's eye? LOCKE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE. WHAT HAVOC HAVE YOU UNLEASHED.]

Gau happy too! Miss Ayla.
