Adian held Berial's hand in his, letting Reiha walk free as he walked them from his house to the park. It wasn't really that much of a walk but with the trafic they were crossing and the fact that Berial acted like a kid all the time the man felt the need to hold his hand. His blue eyes looked at Reiha while they crossed the street but she just held on to Korbin and walked calmly at their side. He really didn't get this girl at times but he prety much gave up trying to understand Reiha. Finally they reached the crowded park and he let go of Berial's hand.
"Alright squirt and she-squirt" she grined and scaned the adults, grining when he saw an attractive mother of two who was just sending her kids out to play as well. "You go have fun and I'll be over there" he pointed to the woman paused and then found another pretty woman, "Or over there. If you need me" he waved and stauntered off.
Reiha rolled her eyes at Adian's anticts but ignored him quickly as she turned to Berial. She loved the park, though she admited she liked it better when no one was there but on this sunny Satuday afternoon there were lots of kids running around. From young teenagers to tiny babies with their mother's hovering near. And plenty of kids their age, not that Reiha was really intrested.
"So Berial what would you like to do first?" shea sked, turning to her friend, Korbin resting on one arm. He would proably disapear for most of the trip, perfering to watch from the shadows to protect or sometimes he used this opertunity to hunt. With so many people around Reiha has never been hurt before, unless she triped or something and Korbin couldn't attack the ground.

Berial felt quite glad that Aidan had held his hand as they crossed. It amde him feel safer, especially since Erik did the same thing, and he figured it simply wouldn;t be the same. Looking around at all the people in the park, he shrugged. His eyes went briefly to thr swings and he gave a bit of a shudder. They still weren't his favorites.
"I 'unno. What do you do when you come?" He asked. This was only his second time here. Erik didn;t really do outside much.

Reiha came a lot because she loved the park and being outside. It also gave Adian plenty of time to flirt and it gave them something to do 'together' without them actually having to do something like, you know, talk. Sometimes REiha played with other kids, but most of the time she didn't. She had Korbin to play with after all. He was better then kids.
"I go on the swings alot" shea dmited, but noticed he shuddered when he looked at it. "Let's go down the slide though" she said, grabing his hand, Korbin flying from her arms.
Korbin wanted to get a better veiw then her arm besides REiha would need her hands when she played. He landed on the play structure she was running too. Kids looked at him but when ever one got too close he let out a loud caw and scratched at them. He never got on (sadly) but he managed to scare them away. He was perched on the slide so only Reiha and Berial would be able to go down it.

"The slide sounds like fun!" He said, girnning, rushing up to it, ot noticing Korbin's agressive behavior towards the kids who approached the slide. Looking up the stairs, he seemed to stop for a moment and debate just how high it was. Apparently, he deemed it fine and started his ascent up the steps.

Reiha noticed the pause though and went behind him, "Don't worry, we can go together and I'll protect you" she told him with a g rin as she took his hand and ran up the stairs with him. She didn't pay much mind to Korbin. Just amazed the kids by pausing to pet him before she crouched down near the slide.
"See I'll get on, you get on behind me and hold on tight, then we slide down and you'll land on me so you don't get hurt. Plus I know how to stop on this so I'll be fine" she asured him, sitting down and waiting for him to get on too.

Berial listened intently to her isntructions, obviously a bit daunted by the height of the slide (even though it wasn't that much). Settling himself down behind Reiha he scooched up close to her, raping his arms around her waist tightly. He didn;t want to show her he was scared, but he couldn;t help himself. He jsut didn't like heights.
"m'ready.." He said, closing his eyes slightly as he braced himself.

Reiha loved them. She loved being high above, letting the wind rush over her, standing as high as she can, just wanting desperately to jump and never fall. To just fly and fly forever. But she couldn't do that. She wasn't a bird, she was just...Reiha, a human girl. But with Erik's help she'd learn magic and she'd learn to fly.
"Okay Berial, hold tight. One. Two. And Three!" with that she pushed them off, letting them fly down the sun warmed plastic and laughed as suddenly it all came to a blinding stop when she hit the padded foam like floor. She giggled and turned to Berial. "Do you want to do that again?"

For a moment, Berial sat very, ery still, his grip unwavering.. It.. it ahdn;t bee that bad. The wind had actually been, kind of nice.. Daring to peek open an eye he noticed that they were safely on the floor and he lessened his grip on Reiha slowly, before letting go. That wans;t that scary at all.
"'mmk.. Could.. could I try by myself this time?" He asked, daring. Maybe he'd even keep his eyes open as well.

"Sure, by yourself is fun too" Reiha said, smiling as she jumped up, a claw could be heard from Korbin. She looked up and saw other kids were trying to slide too. "Korbin be nice" she lectured, shaking her finger firmly. She didn't want other kids to not slid. It wasn't like it was her slide.
Korbin grumbled and griped, flapping his wings. Normally when hew as told to be nice the bird just left. He was hungry anyway and needed to get some hunting done. Besides he's seen Berial protect Reiha before. Poorly but well enough. He really needed to eat something.

Berial smiled exitedly, getting up and brushing himself off slightly (a habit picked up from Erik). Moving around the slide, he waited for two little girls to go up and have thier turns first before he climbed up.
Sitting down, he looked down the slide and gulped.. It seemed, a bit higher up now.. His grip on the sides of the plastic increased. He could do this. Closing his eyes and witha mighty push he was off.
Ungracefully he flopped onto the foam floor at the end of the slide, cracking an eye open, he saw that he ahd, in fact, made it in one piece and he smiled. "Reiha! I did it!"

Reiha grined at him as he slid down. She saw he was afraid and geussed that Berial must have a fear of hights, after all he mentioned he was scared of flying and didn't like to look at the swings. Well she'd find a way to help him get over that. AFter all heights were nothing to be a afraid of. Unless you were falling from them.
Reiha sat on the slide and quickly pushed herself off so she could celebrate with Berial in person. She loved the rush of the wind, the sudden thud when you were done, the thrill of it all. She laughed when she hti bottom and hugged Berial.
"I knew you could do it" she told him honestly. "It's fun isn't it? I wish I could go on a really big slid where you'd fall down and down for a long time. I think slides are over too fast"

Berial didn;t exactly agree. He was content with the length of this slide. He thought it perfect actually, but he said nothing, only smiled. "Maybe we'll find a bigger slide for you.." He offered, smiling.
Looking around for something that didn't involve high thigns as much, he spotted the sandbox, free of people. "Can we go play in the sandbox a while?" He asked, smiling broadly over at Reiha.

"Sure that's fun too" she said with a smile as she walked over with him, looking around and noticing that Korbin was long gone. She shrugged and went to sit in the sand. It didn't matter because she enver been threatened at the park before. Besides she knew he was hungry.
"So have you ever made a sand castle?" Reiha asked, "Adian said you got to get the sand wet and then you can make it" she reached down as she played in the sand, pulling it up into a moutian that quickly crumbled. "Hmm, we need water"

Berial nodded, remebrign this tidbit from their first meeting, but he had yet again failed to rememeber to bring anything to hold water in. Frowning for a moment at the sand, he suddenly screwed up his face as a nasty smell reached his nose. A shadow cast over Berial's form and as he looked up he looked down quickly as the ashed from a cigarrte butt fell into his eyes. Wiping at his face frantically, he whimpered lightly.
The teenagers which had coem to loom over them only chuckled, slightly, one of them shaking his cigarette into the sandbox again. "Get a move on, brats.. Playtime's over..

Another bully laughed as he flicked his ciggerate to the girl who was glaring at them. Unlike the boy she didn't freak when it hit her, just brushed it away like it was a fly. He shruged though ahd smirked at the pair. "Aren't they just cuuuuute" he calle dout in a mocking tone, reaching down to pinch reiha's cheeks, she just brushed that aside too.
"We can play here as long as we like" Reiha said, voice calm and low as her eyes remained steady on the boys. Her body was tense though, hands ready to fist and fly. she didn'tknow where this control, this knowlege came from, but she did know to wait, till they make the first move.
