'This brought back memories,' Dominic thought as he carried the antsy Izzy through the welcoming gates to a water park. He remembered when he used to bring Dane here when he was younger. The man sighed as he thought about Dane, since he had become a teen the boy had become more distant and less social with his father. Dominic knew this was usual but he still couldn't help but miss when Dane was younger and everything was easier.
"Ready to have fun Izzy?" He asked the boy who was squirming around in his arms as they walked through the gates to the children section of the water park.
"Yes!!" Izzy stated vividly as he tried to pry himself free to go explore. There were so many other children and so many different things to do, it was all so exciting and overwhelming.
"Alright just don't go anywhere I can't see you," Dominic said finally setting the child down as he bolted off as soon as his feet hit the ground.
"And don't bite anyone!" Dominic called after him as he sat down in a beach chair in an area designated for parents.
Izzy had no particular plan right away he just decided to run head first into whatever was closest, which turned out to be the wading pool. The boy tromped around in the water soaking himself in minutes in water that only came up to his waist. He noticed some fountains in the middle of the pool and dashed over like a little motor boat to investigate.

Rhys wasn't much of a swimmer, but that was only because he had never been taken to a water park. Like so many things the envious child experienced, now that he had seen swimming, he wanted to do it himself. All in due time, however. He had accidentally inhaled water in the bathtub once, and it was not a sensation he wanted to feel again, at least not at the moment. Right now he was content to splash around in the kiddie area, occasionally running through the fountaining plumes of water at the center of the pool. He was making his way back to them when he saw the four-armed boy. He was impressed.
"Where'd you get extra arms from?" he shouted, rushing to Isaac's side. Thankfully, Rhys' curiosity over such a feature was overwhelming his urge to throw a tantrum regarding where his own extra set of limbs was hiding. "They're sooooo cool!" He grinned.

Izzy was busying himself trying to grab a hold of the shooting water when the other boy came by asking about his limbs. Izzy spun around to see this new face. The overexcited youths eyes glinted and his ears twitched as he looked over this newcomer.
It took him a few moments to register the question as he began to circle Rhys inspecting him carefully, "Where did I get them?" He repeated stopping his circling for a moment to think, "I dunno, I always had em," He said looking down at his four appendages furrowing his brows wondering how one gets arms.

"Oh." Well, that was... not disappointing exactly. If the other boy didn't know where his arms had come from, then he didn't know. Rhys shrugged. Maybe he was a little disappointed. He'd have to ask his dad where arms came from.
His eyes widened as Isaac began to circle him. "Heya, I'm Rhys! What're you doin'?"

"Lookin," Izzy replied ears twitching, "You look different than anyone before," he said eyes looking at the shiny metal things on the child's head. He wondered what this child's blood tasted like, he thought absent mindedly but looked back over his shoulder to realize that Dominic was still watching him so biting would probably be dealt with by punishment.
"I'm Izzy," he said turning his attention back to what Rhys was saying.

"Oh," Rhys said again, this time with a hint of laughter in his voice. "I've seen a coupla kids with knives like mine," he said, poking at his own 'headwings.' "And another one's even got a body made of metal!" Rhys wondered if Vali would sink in a pool deeper than the one he and Izzy were standing in. "It's s'posed to come from Lib'rality." He shrugged, not really knowing what that meant.
Rhys looked over at the man Izzy glanced at. "That your dad? Mine's over there somewhere," he said, gesturing off behind him. "My sister too. She's a wimp. She won't come in the water at all!" Yanya was such a girl.

"My big brother talks about that Librality person a lot," Izzy said shifting from one foot to another, "He doesn't tell me much about it though," He pouted a bit, Dane never really told him much of anything, he wasn't around a whole lot.
"Yeah, that's my dad," Izzy said lowering his ears almost as if he were disappointed to say as much. Dominic never let him get away with anything, it was very much fun.

"Cool! You got a big brother?" Rhys thought a big brother was probably loads better than a big sister. Not better than being a big brother though. Having someone who would do whatever you said seemed pretty cool. Rhys didn't bother to add the fact that he rarely did what Yanya said to his assessment of siblings.
"'S your dad mean?" Rhys had noticed Izzy's droopy ears and wondered if the other boy's dad was a bad man. "Mine's okay. You could come live with me?"

Izzy shook his head, "No, he's just no fun," He said crossing his arms. Izzy wanted to see what this kid's blood tasted like, he had no idea and it was bugging him, oh well maybe he'd at least be able to have fun, "Hey, wanna play?" Izzy asked bouncing on his heels a bit, it seemed the small boy had trouble standing still. Maybe he couldn't bite Rhys but he could at least rough house hopefully.

"Sure! Let's go!" Rhys said, taking off toward one of the more raucous fountains. Its plume shot at least seven feet in the air, well above Rhys' paltry height. "You wanna play tag?" he shouted, struggling to be heard over the rush of water landing around him.

"Tag!!" Izzy called out as he flung himself at Rhys, tackling him and doing a couple of rolls on the ground before darting back off. It was like watching a puppy play, so much energy in such a small body. Isaac didn't bother to look back and see if the other boy was chasing him or not, he looked like a little motor boat as the water separated in his wake.

Hey! Rhys' brow creased in a frown. That wasn't how it was supposed to go! Thankfully, his dark look only lasted a moment. He giggled and began to chase Isaac, slowed noticeably by the considerable waves the other boy left behind. Hmm. This was probably going to require some strategy. Rhys slowed to a stop, looking around for a place to hide. The wading pool was a bit too wide open to find a good spot, so he decided to make do with one of the fountains. He positioned himself so that the jet was between him and Izzy and hoped that the spawn would run past at some point.

Izzy was gone. He didn't bother to look back as he ran, he only assumed that Rhys had been following him since he darted off. The small boy was turning and weaving through the wading pool, running in front of other kids and even vaulting over one like leap frog.
Izzy had a very one track mind so it didn't occur to him that the other boy might be laying in wait for him. It took a while for Izzy to circle around the wading pool but he did, eventually making his way back around toward the fountain where Rhys was hiding, oblivious to his plans.

The dark child peered around the fountaining water, lining up his attack with what he thought was a mastery of precision. He waited until Izzy drew close, then crouched in anticipation, leaping out of his hiding spot and...
...landing with a thump three feet to the right of the other boy.
Rhys sputtered and sat up. Thankfully, the water here only rose to his chest when he was seated. He hadn't had a reason before this to think about the feasibility of sliding along the floor of a wading pool. It turned out that, yes, it was possible. It also hurt.
"Ow," Rhys muttered, bending his knee and raising it out of the pool. Barely visible against his skin was a scrape dotted with a few drops of blood.

Izzy would have kept running, his adrenaline was pumping fiercely. However as soon as he caught a whiff of the bit of blood on Rhys' knee he quickly stopped and turned around, blinking when he saw the boy had hurt himself. He waded back over to him, "You okay?" Izzy asked his ears twitching, the other little boy didn't look like he was hurt much but then again Izzy had band aids all over his arms and legs. As Izzy checked to see how Rhys was his eyes kept dodging between his face and the blood on his knee.
