Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lyall followed after his friend, excited for breakfast time. He was thinking about a nice bowl of oatmeal, maybe with bananas! He was happy as ever, though he usually was in the mornings. Rider seemed tired, so he figured she must have gotten to bed late. He sure did! A whole twelve minutes! He almost slept in that morning, and that would have wrecked his whole day! When he sat down, the boy happily made his breakfast, then smiled at Rider. "How'd you sleep last night?" He hoped she hadn't had any bad dreams, after all. Those were never fun!

{OoC:}

Lyall blinked, wondering how anyone could sleep "too much". He awoke at five-thirty every morning! Even if he was an hour late getting to bed, he couldn't make himself sleep-in! He gave the girl a hug, then ate a few bites of breakfast. Rider asked if her sister would have written back, and he gave an optimistic smile. "I'm sure Tintri will be here tut-suite! Oh! Speaking if which, may I have Tintri deliver a letter to Mumma and Dad? I tried finding the Owlery, but I got quite lost!" A tinge of pink touched his cheeks, as he knew he wasn't very good with directions. Oh well... he'd figure his way sooner or later.

{OoC:}

Lyall grinned happily when Rider said he could borrow her owl. " Oh thank you! I don't have any owl treats, though. Do you think he likes celery?" He shrugged, then took a bite of his oatmeal, smiling happily. Sure enough, the girl was excited about Tintri's return, and that he was bearing a letter from Claire. Lyall clapped his hands together, looking quite happily. "Oh that's wonderful news! I hope she has something lovely to say!" The boy figured he'd have to meet Rider's sister soon, as they were close friends. Perhaps this summer he'd go to Ireland?

{OoC:}

Lyall felt bad at the thought of an owl not liking celery. They were carnivores, but he didn't have anything meaty! Rider gave the silly bird a piece of bacon, which he seemed to quite enjoy. Lyall offered him a piece of his turkey bacon, hoping to make him happy. Rider read the letter, then started squealing. Lyall blinked a few times, then glanced at the letter. All he needed to see was "I did magic today", before he knew why Rider was so happy. He'd be happy if his sibling could do magic! But... then again, he'd be happy if he had a sibling. They seemed like such fun! The boy watched his friend, then leaned over to give her a hug.

{OoC:}

Lyall blinked again at Rider, who was shaking quite badly. Should he consult a nurse? All at once, Rider was clinging to Lyall in a tight hug, which the boy could only reciprocate. She exclaimed loudly of her excitement, and he nodded, a bright grin on his face. He blinked at Tintri, who seemed to be thieving bacon from Rider's plate. Alas, the girl didn't care. She was far to excited. "I'm very happy for you! This must be such wonderful news!" He knew his friend very much adored her younger sister, but it was something he'd never experienced. Though.. he had read on the sibling factor in many books. He knew that his mother had only wanted one child, as she always told him, and that was him. Most of his friends had siblings of all sorts, but he always felt a bit left out when they would converse about them. Rider snuggled against him, so Lyall pat her head, offering a small smile.

{OoC:}

Lyall jumped a bit when Rider shot upright. She claimed he had to meet the younger girl by going to Ireland. "I don't really think my parents would let me go to Ireland. It costs a bit in petrol, you know. And I don't know how to use the bus like you do! Perhaps meeting in Diagon Alley is our best option. I'll bring Bubbles too!" He nodded, grinning. They all had siblings, sure, but he had a bunny! Rider spoke praises of her sister, and the boy nodded along, smiling brightly. When the girl turned to tell off her owl, Lyall tilted his head. "You know, I'll bet he was just hungry! A lot of people get snackish, and I'll bet owls do too!" He looked pleased with his thought, hoping poor Tintri didn't feel bad.

{OoC:}
