Laughing still, she sat up and leaned over, scooping Reeve up in a warm hug. "I am great, just clumsy. Are you ok?" she asked with a giggle, watching him closely with a bright smile.

The boy laughed harder and hugged her in return. "I'm a-okay! It's been a long time since I had so much fun!" He smiled at her, his pale eyes shining. He had not a care in the world.

Smiling brightly, she looked in to his pale eyes, feeling more relaxed and happy than she had been in a long while. Gently holding him with her right arm, she lifted her left hand to his face, brushing aside some of his hair. With a soft smile, she asked; "Are you thirsty? Hungry?" she asked, observing him with a quiet passion to know he was taken care of.

The boy smiled when her hand touched his face. He blinked when his hair moved, then giggled at a thought he had. "I'm kinda thirsty, could you do that thing you do?" His hand came up and gently touched the top of her head, messing up some of her hair.

"Of course!" she replied with a giggle. Gently taking his hand that was on her head away, she made sure he held that hand with his palm up. In an instant a glass of chocolate milk appeared in his hand. Still smiling brightly, she asked; "Or did you want something different today?"

The boy smiled and carefully brought the glass up to his lips. "Why would I want something different?" He asked, smiling. He quickly drank the whole glass down and smiled at her. "So, have you met Viper yet?"

"Variety is the spice of life, some say." she said with a smile. Tilting her head, she wondered if that was a trick question. "Well .. I spoke with Soloman mostly, but he too was there outside the other night and obviously he was here. I still do not understand why he left, it seemed more like he was looking for a reason to leave than actually having one." she said honestly. With a smile, she shook her head. "Er, never mind, I should mind my own business. I hope he is well is all."

"Oh..." The boy said putting the glass down. "You miss the older me, huh? Viper was telling me about stuff, and I'm sorry I made you sad." He looked at her, half-smiling. There was no reason to be happy, but no reason to be sad. He never even thought that the question might be a rude one, he just wanted to know.

Her smile faded, replaced with worry and sorrow. "No .. well .. yes, of course. But I am just as happy in a different way to be with you now. As I said before, I will say again now; I enjoy your company." she said with a smile though the sad and worried look still lingered in her eyes, hoping he was ok. "How can you say you have made me sad, we have had a good time here today." she said sounding much more cheerful.

The boy smiled to her, then moved away. "Viper told me that I cared for you alot. I didn't understand what he ment, so he tried to explain it to me. I still don't understand." He giggled and started to walk to the door. "I want you to talk to Viper, so I'm gonna go find him. He is different from me... but the same also. I think you two will be good friends."

She smiled and nodded to him though she wished he was not moving away. "Yes, we cared .. still care .. very much. I want you to be safe and happy, all of you .." she said with a smile. Reluctantly watching him head out, she nodded. "As you wish. Though I am certain you are correct."
She curled her legs up under herself and leaned up against the back of the couch. Relaxing a bit, she lowered her head, staring at the spot he had been sitting on not knowing what might come next.

After a long while, Viper and Reeve walked in once again. The boy was back on Viper's shoulders and the man seemed to be reluctant when walking in. When he saw Ziven he thought about leaving, but then the boy began to talk. The language he spoke was very strange, but the man understood it almost perfectly. he nodded his head and walked in completely.

After a while, Ziven took out a book to read as she sat on the couch. No one had been in or out since Reeve left earlier, so she entertained herself with reading and dressing herself in something different.
Just when she was about to give up on waiting, Reeve returned with Viper. Closing the book with a small snap, it disappeared from her hand. She smiled as she stood to greet them, nodding her head respectfully. "Good evening, Reeve, Viper. I hope you both are well."

"Hey-lo Ziven!" The boy said with a wave as the two of them walked over to her. Viper did not say anything, and even did his best to avoid eye contact with her. The boy looked at him for a moment, then smacked the back of his head. "Say something!" The boy yelled.
Viper head jerked foreward, showing that he had been hit in the head with something far more powerful than simply a child's strength. His first thought was to hit back, but just before he did he looked at Ziven. His face got a bit red and he looked down. "Hello..."

Ziven smiled and again bobbed her head when Reeve replied. When he yelled at Viper, she too winced, looking shocked and upset by this. "Reeve! All is well, he does not need to speak if he does not want to." she said firmly but not unkind, again smiling to the pair. This was until she heard Viper greet her and noticed the color in his cheeks. Blushing herself, she too looked down. Reaching her left hand to her left ear, she itched a spot before dropping her hand again. She tried to keep the conversation flowing with something that, in theory, would be fine for they all to respond to without feeling awkward. "Would either of you care for something to drink perhaps?"
