Bastian had been out walking. It was such a pretty day out not to hot and not to cold. Bastian had ender up where the small river fed into the lake. He was wearing a pair of brown shorts and a plain blue shirt. His light brown hair was not messy but not all in order. He had seen quite a few other people around the lake some in groups and others alone, but there was no one around at the moment. Bastian sat down in the grass newt to the water leaning back on his hands. It was nice here. He was not quite sure what he had been expecting but it met all his expectations maybe it was even better in some ways. He still did not know many people here with him but that would all come in time atleast hopefuly. Bastian closed his eyes enjoying to sun waiting for something interesting that happen. |

Petrica found himself gravitating back to the lake after his swimming adventure with Olive. He still didn't know many people here, so he spent a lot of time alone. Which was okay with him, mostly. Besides, he had his animals... well they technically weren't his, but he was the one who took care of them so he figured 'same difference'. Today he was wearing jeans and a t shirt. He really hoped someone would sell some shorts in his size soon. Because all he'd packed were jeans, which were great for ranch work but terrible for swimming in. And swimming was fast becoming a favorite past time of his.
He was walking along a small river, knowing it would lead him to the lake eventually, and enjoying the quiet.
Everything on Eden seemed so, wild, to him. Ruria was much tamer, more domesticated, more... pastoral? He thought that sounded like the right word. It was intimidating and thrilling at the same time. But he also liked the places like this small river, the ones that reminded him most of home.
After walking for a while he reached the spot where the river met the lake and came across a boy sitting beside the river. He unconsciously looked over the other boy, younger than him... but probably not by much. He felt his cheeks heat slightly but refused to acknowledge or give words to the feeling.

Bastian smiled with the warmth of the sun on his face. He was a little bit homesick but there was also so manynew things here to explore and learn so that helped alot. Bastian heard a sound he suspected was another person. He quickly debated in his mind. Did he want to open his eyes and see who it was or continue day dreaming. Bastian loved new people so he opened his eyes looking around. He saw another guy a few feet away. He was probably a little older the Bastian if her had to guess. He was also kind of cute. Bastian smiled at the other guy as he said "Hey I dont think we have met yet Im Bastian." Bastian loved talking to new people. Sure he could be rather awkward but it was fun to talk to people. Also talking to a cute guy how bad could that be. |

Petrica couldn't help but feel like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar when the other guy opened his eyes and looked at him. He felt the blush from earlier return full force.
"Hey I dont think we have met yet Im Bastian."
Petrica had hated his mom's etiquette lessons as a kid, but now he was thankful for them. He wasn't sure he'd have remembered how to respond if she hadn't drilled it into him the proper way to respond to greetings.
"I'm Petrica. Pleased to meet you." He said holding out his hand for a handshake. |

Bastian smiled as he noticed the other guy was quite red. He was not sure why but it was noticeable. Bastian nodded as the other guy introduced himself as Petrica. Bastian reached his hand out shaking it politely. He was not use to people being so formal. His parents always were but he had never been when he was around people who were not his parents age. With the people he had met though there had been alot of formality. It was not a bad thing just a different thing.
Bastian paused for a few seconds before he then said "Care to join me? Its such a nice day out today." Bastian had grown up always being inside or in his dads workshops and now being in such a pretty place was nice. He also loved the lake it was so pristine and peaceful. Bastian looked over at Petrica seeing if he would accept his invitation. |

Petrica had been planning on heading down to the docks for another swim... but he figured he may as well stay. He should work on getting to know more people and this was a good opportunity to do so. Besides he wasn't dressed for swimming anyway so maybe this was for the best.
"Uh sure." He said. He felt flustered and he wasn't quite sure why. Putting it down to nerves from meeting someone new he pushed such thoughts to the side.
"Yeah it is." He responded when Bastian commented on the weather. The weather was always nice on Ruria, best to grow the crops that way. He had heard that there might be storms later in the year and that had been both a frightening and interesting thought, just like so many things on Eden.
Looking up at the sky Petrica found himself speaking again.
"Everything seems so big here, even the sky." |

Bastian smiled as Petrica accepted his offer to join him. Bastian leaned back on his hands again looking out across the water. His hand was right next to Pertica's and Bastian was aware of it. He was not quite sure why that was in his mind. Normally he was full of words and always had something to say but for some reason Bastian had no words. Maybe it was the new place or maybe it was the new company. Bastian was not sure maybe it was all of it put together.
Bastian nodded as Patrice spoke everything was bigger here, and so much open space. Bastian was use to everything being compact and orderly not so open and empty. It was actually a little unsettling to Bastian. It was kind of the opposite of being claustrophobic he had to much room. After a moment Bastian spoke his voice slightly soft "Yeah it is, thats gonna take a while to get use to I think. Where are you from?" |

It was normal for two guys to sit next to each other, Petrica thought to himself. It wasn't like when boys sat next to girls where you had to worry about things turning improper. At least it shouldn't be. Petrica was starting to regret his decision not to just continue on to the lake. There was something about Bastian that made him uncomfortable and he didn't want to think about why.
This had happened a few times before. Petrica would meet some guy and feel uncomfortable, embarrassed, and confused. And then he'd avoid the other guy as much as possible from then on. It had worked pretty well on Ruria. Aside from church and school back when he'd gone to school he could mostly just hide away on his parents ranch. He could throw himself into his work as a way of hiding his lack of social life. He had a feeling things would be a bit different here, collaboration seemed a key part of the overall goal.
Petrica turned to look at Bastian when he spoke, but went back to staring out at the view of the river joining the lake before responding.
"'m from Ruria. You?" He felt tongue tied, and felt like the less he talked the less mistakes he'd make. |

Bastian nodded as Petrica said where he was from. Bastian did not know a whole lot about the other lands. He knew his home and growing up he just kind of zoned out when people talked about other places. He always thought that was something he would never need to know. He then said "Im from Asnarth. Definitely a lot different from here. " Bastian paused again watching Petrica. He could tell they were both a little nervous it was odd Bastian was normally full of words and things to say even when no one really wanted to hear them.
Bastian crossed his legs underneath him fiddling with his thumbs as he was deep in his own head. After a little bit he then said "So what made you come here" He hoped he was not asking to many questions to bug him. He was just curious and wanted to know more about the guy sitting next to him. Who happened to be pretty cute and seemed like he was also a nice guy. |
