Summer time is good for many things, picnics for example... watermelon. The only thing better than watermelon were flowers, or flower things. Toshiro personally didn't know why Miyu and several other little girls in the family loved flower things (his mother included), but they just do. However the only person he was willing to induge in a flower picking outing was Miyu... and maybe his other niece Skye.
But Miyu most of all he was willing to induge, which was why he and Miyu were rolling a watermelon along the ground (it was bigger than them and he didn't want to crack it yet) towards the flower field. He had a stick strapped to his back, it was good for two things, defense and cracking watermelons.
Miyu hummed a tune merrily along side Toshiro as she helped him rolled it along. Her Daddy cooled the watermelon with his magic earlier so it stayed nice and cold. She personally was looking forward to making flower necklaces for her mommy. Even though her mommy was a guy, chances were Jaseth would like it anyways.

Sylas walked along the grassy plains, looking for something, or someone. He wasn't the nicest boy, but he did need something to do. He got bored very quickly. His father left him in the park for the day while he went and 'ran his errands'.
Sylas then saw two children walking along with a huge watermelon. He found it queer that they would be trying to push such a big thing that was twice their size. Who knew, maybe they needed some help. But of course, Sylas wasn't one to ask or give help, so he just ignored that completely. But he did like the sight of people. His thirst for blood was getting a bit out of hand. He needed some.
Maybe he would put on the act and be nice, until they were unsuspecting. That's what he decided to do. He had seen enough 'nice' from his father to know what to do. So he tried it out. He ran up to the two and said, "Hello there! How are you guys today? I'm Sylas! I'm new around here, and I haven't made many friends yet. What are your guys' names?" It secretly sickened him to have to lower himself down to that just to get blood. But he wasn't sly enough to sneak up behind them yet. He needed to learn to sneak around, and use his wings, which he didn't have any control over either.

Miyu paused and looked down, normally she would have skittered, but even to Miyu it was unreasonable to skitter away from someone newly born. At least she assumed so, because she had never met this Surprise before.
"We're doing fine... mi...." she murmured shyly, "I'm Miyu, and this is Toshiro."
Toshi gave a small wave before deciding this was a good place to have watermelon. Close enough to flowers, and far enough they wouldn't get pollen on their food.
"This looks like a good spot Miyu, we can stop here."

Sylas stopped and looked down at the watermelon. He then looked over at the flowers. He found that those were quite pretty. I mean, even though he was a hateful Second, he still had a thing for beauty. And flowers, to him, were beautiful. He asked, "So, what brings you two out here? Just gonna eat some watermelon?"
He could smell the blood rushing through these 'new friends' veins. He took in a deep breath and with a sigh, he said in a very quiet tone, "That smells good." He then smiled at them and went on smiling. Hopefully they didn't hear him.

"Yea, but Miyu wants to pick flowers as well," Toshiro explained to the newcomer.
It was a good thing they decided to bring a large watermelon, then he could have some too. Toshi was sure it was only in good manners to have watermelon with other people after all. Besides Miyu would have been horrified if they didn't share.
"Mi.... the air smells good?" she had heard... after all it was quiet but not too quiet, "There are flowers over there and they're all blooming, that's why summer is always the best."
At least she assumed he was talking about the flowers, it wasn't like they brought any warm food and watermelon couldn't be smelt until it was open. Once it was though, that was also a very good smell.

Sylas gulped. She had heard him. He thought a moment, still smiling. He could feel the sweat beginning to form on his forehead. He began to laugh. Then he said, "Oh, no I was umm...talking about...the flowers! Those flowers smell good. Can't you smell them? Mmm...such a sweet smell."
That was what he got for trying to be sneaky. Hopefully the girl would buy that. "Oh, that sounds like so much fun! I'd like to pick flowers too! That'd be fun!" He was still struggling to keep his vampirism a secret.

Toshiro tilted his head a bit, he couldn't quite put his finger on it, but something about the way Sylas talked didn't sound right to him. He didn't know quite why... perhaps it was the timing of what he said... or maybe the way he said it.
Almost, Toshiro thought to himself, like he was trying too hard to be agreeable with them. Now why would that be? Probably Toshiro thought, the guy needed friends or something like that.
If Sylas' words sounded fake, Miyu didn't notice, nor did she notice that most boys... don't like to pick flowers. Unless it was for someone, it certainly wasn't for fun. Then again Miyu wouldn't know much about how normal little boys acted. After all she had a trickster for a brother and a pervert for a twin.
She smiled having her question answered, "Alright then! You can pick flowers with us, I'm going to make them into necklaces for Mommy and Toshiro is going to pick flowers for Grandmommy. Who are your flowers for?"

Sylas glanced at Toshiro. 'Hmm...I think he might be catching onto me. I gotta be more careful with this one. He seems to be quite the smart one. The girl, however, doesn't seem to notice a thing. I think she's going to be my new target.' he thought to himself. He didn't know what he was doing wrong to compromise his new facade so soon. But he was, and it began to scare him a bit.
He turned to Miyu and smiled, saying, "Of course! This will be so much fun haha. They're for...my...my dad. He's been really busy with things lately and he needs some encouragement. So I think flowers will do just that! Encourage!" He was happy to have at least one unsuspecting victim. It was nice that way.

Miyu nodded in agreement, "That's very nice of you."
She smiled sweetly at Sylas before taking his hand to lead him towards the flower field. Though she had to bend down a bit so she could do so. Miyu had forgotten what it was like to be that small, she wondered how she ever got around at that size.
"Sure sure," Toshiro murmured, unlike Miyu flower picking was not his thing, but he was sure his mother would like it still, "Let's go we're burning daylight."
He was sure the watermelon wasn't going to go anywhere unless wild animals attacked it, but they were in the safe part of the world. At least they better be, he had enough of strange Seconds as it were.

He smiled sweetly back and agreed, allowing Miyu to take him by his hand to the flower field. Once there, he began to pick, slowly, and watching Miyu and Toshiro's every move. Just to make sure nothing strange was going to happen. He had to keep an especially close eye on Toshiro. He seemed almost annoyed at the fact that he was there, or maybe that's just how he was. Who knew?
He thought to himself, 'Ugh...this is so dirty. Why would I pick and destroy such a beautiful plot of flowers? They didn't do anything to me, why am I picking them? Just to keep up some facade so I can take over and get my blood thirst fulfilled. I don't know what would hurt me more, my conscience taking over my life if I keep picking, or my thirst becoming more constant and me needing to take the blood. Hmm...well, I can put this up a little longer. I just won't pick very many. I just need to get Miyu alone...hmm...' He wondered how he would do that exactly. He kept thinking for ways on getting the two Seconds separated.

Miyu sat down in the middle of the flowers allowing the aroma to surround her as she began to pick a few. Fashioning them into a chain which would become a necklace for her mother. She hummed as she went about her work. As her head went back and forth to the beat of unseen music her braid swung merrily. She wiggled her bare toes letting the grass tickle the soles of her feet.
Toshiro crouched and like Sylas did not pick a lot of flowers. Instead he was careful in which flowers he close, considering his choices carefully. Blue and white was what he was looking for, even though blue was a harder colour to find in nature as far as flowers went. Part way through the young boy took his jacket off leaving his white shirt.
It was a very warm day after all, and he was dressed like he was prepared for cold weather and it was black. Then again black was his favourite colour, but that was besides the point, black was not practical in warm weather.

Sylas watched and thought, picked, watched, thought, picked, watched, thought. That was his little routine he had gotten from doing this over and over.
He thought it over in his mind. "Hey! I think I'm going to go get some watermelon if you guys don't mind. Hey Miyu, will you come and help me out? I am not nearly big enough to open such a thing. Please?" he said.
He hoped that would get Miyu away for long enough to quench his thirst. Hopefully it would work.

"Alright," Miyu replied softly.
She stood up brushing the dirt off of her backside, though there was probably grass stains there already quite unfortunately. The little girl turned to Toshiro who was busy deciding whether or not to get one flower over another.
"Can I have your stick mi....?" Miyu asked Toshiro, "The one you brought for the watermelon?"
Toshiro looked up, putting his hand behind his back he pulled out the long stick and handed it to her.
"Just don't accidently hit yourself with it," he told her bluntly.
Knowing Miyu she probably might, he figured ot himself, she never used a stick for... well anything when he thought about it.
Miyu took the stick and thanked him, holding it with both hands carefully so she wouldn't drop it. She went over to Sylas, she was very careful not to let it drag on the ground, it belonged to Toshiro and she wanted to give it back in one piece.

Sylas smiled as he knew his plan was going to turn out perfectly. Or at least well enough. He even decided to skip a few steps here and there.
Once he reached the melon, he sunk down behind it, and bit into it with his long, sharp, shiny teeth. He needed something to chew on before the flesh of a Second. He had only popped out of the vase a few hours beforehand. He finally felt the thirst. It was strong and he wanted to be sure to make it right with his first 'friend'.
He then got up before she could see. Although, there were bite marks in the bottom of it. If she were to move it at all, she'd see where he bit into it. He hoped she wouldn't. If she did, he'd find some way to keep it from him by telling some sort of lie. He kept his eyes peeled for Toshiro as well. Just to be sure he wasn't being watched.

Following him, she made her way up to the watermelon with stick in her hands. Looking down from where he was on the other side. If she recalled, Toshiro said that the watermelon would crack if she hit it hard enough.
"Maybe we should bring some back for Toshiro afterwards right?" Miyu asked her new friend.
