Barry sat a bit nervously on a chair outside the cafe. On the table in front of him was a pair of dampened rings; one from the green tea he had just finished, and one from the chilled mint tea he was currently sipping.
Oh, the man on the note had been...large. Tan. Masculine. He was frightened, even if he seemed to think so closely to Barry's beliefs.
"Daddy...whew iss he?"
"I don't know," Barry replied to the spotted child in his lap. God, it was covered in gelato...

Being outside would put the man at a good position to see anyone who would walk up to the cafe. The usual Gaians walked by, in all their odd glory, and one man fit in decently well. Tanned skin, teal hair and, now that the weather was warm, one could see the fins on his arms.
He spotted the man and his child on his walk up, so went to their table, grinning. Such a nice smile. "Barry?"
It'd have to be, after all. He hadn't seen any other Ursisks, and those ears were rather unique.

Barry's ears folded back. Oh shi--
Maybe he'd just forgotten, or maybe he'd blocked it entirely. That day at the pond..that man swimming naked...oh, blessed beansidhe...
"Yes, of course," he said with a small smile and a blush, "It's nice to see you again." He raised his hand for a shake.

"It is." Taavi agreed, still standing. "And it's nice to see you too, Quinn."
Hey. Man raised two kids of his own. He understood that sometimes, you just couldn't get someone to watch them. Luckily, he had a good sitter for Cal, who was quite used to the horrible little screams he would give if touched.
"May I sit, or do you want me to just keep on walkin'?"

Barry grinned and his ears slowly perked back up.
"Oh, no, please, sit," he said, gesturing to a chair, "Can I get you anything?"
Quinn just waved to the man and blinked zher wide eyes. Hm! This was the man with the Little White Boy!

Taavi smiled at him and sat, leaning back against the back of the chair. "No thank you. I'm fine for now. If I need anything, I'll hail a waitress."
God, his ears were cute.

Barry nodded and one of is ears folded back as he looked over is shoulder. That damn cafe had brownies, he was almost sure of it.
That, or he was going crazy.
"Well, then," he said finally, turning back to Taavi, "How has life been?"

Taavi was watching those ears. Tee hee.
"Mmm, quite well. Still looking for a doctor for Cal, evading my daughter's phone calls, getting used to Gaian life. You?"

"I'm afraid my life is terrible uninteresting," Barry said with a little smile, "Work, sell, eat, work, eat, work, eat, sleep as much as Quinn will let me." He shrugged. Poor man.

Taavi laughed, looking down at Quinny. he knew that stage of life. Veli had been in it for years. He decided not to mention that. Might make him sad.
"What do you do for a living, then?" He was a curious man, after all.

Barry blushed again.
"I build toys," he said softly, "Toy trains, dolls, the like. I have a store on eBay." A fairy who worked on eBay. Hell yeah!

Taavi chuckled at the blush, leaning one elbow on the table. "Really? That sounds like fun." He said, grinning. "I'm terrible with computers, myself."

"I forced myself to learn," Barry nodded, "but aren't you a...scientist? Something like that?"

"I work with a lot of marine life." Taavi smiled. "But I'm useless when it comes to computers. I've ruined one or two, so I mostly keep my notes on paper."

Barry shook his head.
"I can do eBay. That's about it."
