It's just the three of us right now - you've already met Akira, then, but there's a blonde girl named Lux that's about our age, too. [ Cute... a little mean to be laughing, Aeto! But still cute. He offers Paris a smile back, settling his weight back on his heels as he maintains his crouch a bit longer. ] I doubt she'd have a problem with it.

[ And then Souji looks down at the ray, very gently giving her a "ruffle" back and forth. No fur to ruffle through, but the gesture has the same concept, jostling playfully but not roughly. ] If we asked politely, I'm sure we could come to an agreement, hm Aeto?

[Aeto is a little mean to Paris. But she does it because he is her boy and she will fight anyone who hurts him. She trills happily, arching her slick body against the 'ruffle' as Souji continues to spoil her.

Paris laughs a little.] Mm. I'm glad it doesn't bother you... she really likes the fountains. [Paris isn't exactly mad about them either, and the gills on his neck and the scaling that's growing on his arms, not quite up to his elbows, probably shows that well enough.] Are you, um... you're new like the rest of us, right?

[socials]

No, not at all. She brings a little bit of uniqueness, I think. [ Very cute. Very weird, seeing a manta ray trotting around like a dog and all that, but cute regardless! Souji gives her one last pat, moving to stand properly and shaking residual water off of his hands. ] Consider her welcome in the fountain whenever she likes.

[ He says it with a smile, friendly and companionable. With the question, he tips his head slightly in a nod. ] Maiuril 1st, if I remember their month names right. My name's Souji - it's nice to meet you.

[Aeto trills cheerfully, and decides this means that it's time for her to go back into the fountain. So that's what she does. Look, it's a nice fountain, she's going to take advantage of it. Paris... doesn't bother saying anything.]

Mm, I think that's when I arrived too. I'm Paris. It's, um, nice to meet you too.

[ Amazing. He has to watch for a moment, before his attention focuses solely on Paris again. ]

So then you're our neighbor... [ Souji lifts his hand a bit, pointing off in the direction Paris had come from. ] Over that way? I was thinking about introducing myself to all of our neighbors, since it couldn't hurt for us to at least get to know each other, but I'm glad Aeto helped out with that.

[oceanschild]

Mm. Just next door. I-I'm there with a few other people... and a lot of animals.

[If Souji's seen the chocobo trotting down the street, it's probably from their yard.]

Yes! I'm, um... I'm really glad we were able to meet each other. There are a lot of people here.... [It's very overwhelming, and Paris's less-than-stellar social skills make it a little difficult for him to try and reach out to people.]
