Even thoguh Erik hadn't cooked the food, he felt a tiny little surge of pride within him as e smiled back, woking on his pizza slice.
Berial returned quickly, hsi ahdns still a bit damp in hsi hurry. "Done!" He declared to Erik, before movign and grabing a pizza eagerly. He was quite hungry.
Finishing his slice, Erik glanced over at where the watercolors lay.. "so what were you to drawing?" He asked lightly..

Reiha grined as Berial returned she moved closer to him. She prefered to be close to Berial, in a way to protect him. She sat near his blighted arm, which she watched warily. She had to make sure that it didn't move because that meant Berial was sad.
She then glanced at Erik when he asked the question. "Oh I made a picture for Berial" Reiha got up, leaving her bread crust on the floor as she walked over to grab it. It was hard to tell as Reiha was very much a little girl with her drawing talent.
"See, this is the night sky, and that's us" she pointed to two blobs, "And there's Korbin in the sky" She gave Berial a smile as she sat down, giving it to him. "I hope you like it"

Berial grasped the picture in his fee hand and smiled at it.. "It's so pretty!" He said, smilign down at it. He set it gently down on the table as he finished his slice.
"It's lovely.." He said.. He foudn it quite.. what wa the word.. cute.. He didn't often find thigns cute. Interesting, amybe, but cute.. It was jsut another way Berial had changed his world.. "what about you, Berial?" He asked.
The small boy glanced down at the drawings and went over, picking his up before setting it down on the table. He smiled down at it witha sort of macabre fascination.. Most of the page was filled with black paint, the only color being two spots of red (probably ntended to be eyes) and the runic symbol that Berial bore on his forehead above the red eyes in white.. "it's a monster.." He said simply, smiling before moving and picking up another thin slice.

Reiha grined at the compliments, she wasn't use to that but she just happy that he liked it so much. She wasn't use to priase. Even Korbin wasn't one to give praise, he loved her no doubt but praise? No that wasn't part of Korbin's talents. He could repeat praise easily but didn't think to give it much.
She frowned when she saw Beral's picture, the rune was what bothered her. She looked up at Berial, opened her mouth and then looked at his arm. No, she wouldn't bug him.
"It's very good" she told him softly.

Erik had similar sentiments, frowning heavily as he looked at the drawing.
"you don't like it?" Berial asked, looking around at both thier frowns.
Erik shook his head quickly. "It's lovely, Berial.." He said, but couldn't shake the feeling.
Berial smiled at thier approval and looked down at the picture, before looking up at Reiha, still smiling, his oice sincere. "I'll paint you soemthing pretter next time.." He said softly.

"I'd like that" she told him honestly, looking at him happily, she reached over and gave him a hug before resting her head against his shoulder for a moment before she forced herself up again.
Reiha was tired, it had been a long day and it was getting pretty late. Not to mention the emtional roller coster that the two had been going though since she came.
Still she didn't say anything, just reached for anoher slice and started to eat it quietly. "Erik where do you work?" she asked him intrested.

Berial said nothing, jsut smiling and continuing his pizza.. He'd draw her something wonderful.. somethign beautiful..
Erik looked a bit shocked at the question. It jsut seemed a bit out of the blue, but then again, ti wasn't THAT odd a question.. "I have a laboratory beside the house. I work from there." He said.. He'd invent there an then pitch his assorted inventions to companies.. He hadn't had man successes, but from the handful he'd had, one or two had really payed off.

"How does that get you money?" Reiha asked, titling her head to the side. "Adian works at some shipping place. I know 'cause he complains about boxes and stuff when he comes home." Reiha didn't like much about Adian but she admired his work ethic. He could hold down a job and he provided for Reiha. Maybe not well but she didn't need well. She just needed food, and a place to stay.
"I was just wondering 'cause you seem scared to leave the house" Good old blunt Reiha, she always spoke what was on her mind. She didn't mean it as an insult of course but it was clear she was telling him the honest truth.

Erik's cheeks went pink and he fidgeted slightly at her blunt declaration. He was a bit frightened to leave the house. It was how he was.. He was shy and solitary and almsot anti-social to a point. "I.. sell my inventions to companies." He explained, but it was obvious he felt awkward now.. Was he really that much of a scaredy cat?

Reiha smiled, "That sounds good" she said honestly, "That sounds like a fun job. You get to always learn more. I'd like that. I like learning" she said honestly. "if you know something you can control it. If you control it then you can't be afraid of it"

Erik nodded, smiling. "I wish it always worked that way.. I.. I've read thousands of books on magic, but I'm still nowhere near understanding, let alone controlling it.. Magic.." He paused, trying to sort out his thoughts.. "magic, for me at least, is alive.. It might decide to help you if you're knowledgeable enough, but I'd never sayanyone could control it..."

"You can control anything" she said proudly, pulling her head up. "Even alive things. Knowlege is just the first step of control the rest is will. No offense but your will is weak. I bet you never really fought with anyone in your life. You would of backed off. I'll fight anyone I want too"

As if sensing he tension, Berial finsihed his slice and jumped won. "m' onna draw." He said, movng aa to go fetch his crayons and draw Reiha a better picture.
Erik bowed his head slightly as Berial left. He didn't have the disposition to fight. He could run and hide till the cows came home, ut he'd never fought anyone in his life.. Sighing, he removed his glasses for a moment. "Yes.. I would have backed off. " He said, replacing his glasses quickly.. He could ony make out blurry shapes without them. "you are quite perceptive, aren't you.."

Reiha nodded, looking over at him. "I find I'm able to see the things that people don't expect me to see. As if being a kid means I'm blind. I'm not. I think I can see better because people aren't trying to hide so much around me" She shrugged and leaned back, smiling over at Berial. "That and you're very obvious" she added with a grin.

Erik chuckled gently, trying not to show he sore spot Reiha had hit with her words.. "I guess I am.. I don't really try to hide it, I suppose.."
Berial emerged from his room, hsi crayons in his hands as he flopped down onto the floor, grasping a sheet of paper. He would draw her something beautiful.
