"I understand that. I think if I had a child, I'd probably be too worried to ever let them out of my sight..." Evie shook her head lightly and smiled.
Horatio went on the look for a rock and found one that looked like it would roll, proudly bringing it over to Sy. "Found! Rock! See? Is good?"

"Yeah," Jesse nodded. And then came the awkward silence.
"Uh...d'you wanna...sit?" He turned around, looking for a bench. Luckily, there was one no more than 50 paces away.
Sy looked at the rock, studying it hard, and then grinned and nodded.
"Kay!"

Evie nodded. "It's better than standing. Horatio might steal Silas for a while. Usually kids are afraid of him because he's so... Hyper."
Horatio tossed the rock up into the air and caught it again, then carefully passed it on the ground over to Silas. His tail was going about a mile a minute and he, of course, had to stop and chase himself around in circles for a bit. Yay!

"Sy's not afraid of anything but the dark," Jesse smiled and shrugged. He was surprised that Evie wasn't scared of the scars or off-put by the vague stench of salt water that always hung around him.
This was one nice lady.
Silas giggled and dropped down to a squat, rolling the rock back. Yaaay!

"He seems like a nice boy." Evie said, sitting on the bench and carefully arraigning her skirt around her.
Horatio giggled as well, grabbing the rock between his front paws. After a moment of getting everything in order, he rolled it back. "I like Sy! I keep you, okay?"

Oh, God...so pretty and delicate and feminine and--
"Oh, yeah. He's a good kid. He tends to wander if something catches his eye, but that's not so bad. We always find each other again."
Silas rolled the rock back and tilted his head.
"Sy live wif Dada. We hab tent!"

"Mm." Evie crossed her ankles, resting her hands in her lap and looked up at him. "He's so small, though... I'd be terrified. But I'm a worrier." Then again, whenever she'd worried, it'd been founded. Like with Tom and Nikki.
"You and Dada come. We have extra rooms! I play Sy, Evie can has Dada!" It worked out perfectly in Horatio's mind. Yaaaaay!

"Mm, I keep an eye on him," Jesse nodded, eyes flickering over to the adorable pair for a moment.
"Hey, do you wanna see a cool trick?"
"Otay!" Sy grinned. It made sense to him too!

"Mm? Sure." Evie smiled.
Aaaaand Sy had himself a new bestest friend forever and ever. Horatio dropped the rock in favor of jumping at Sy and licking his face. Yaaaaay!

Sy gave a giddy shriek and giggled, petting at Horatio and occasionally pushing playfully. He really didn't mind.
"Alright," Jesse said, "Name anything you have on your person, and tell me where it is."

Horatio hummed, finally letting go. "I like Sy. Sy good." He informed him, snuzzling. Awwwwww. And then he went back to the rock, batting it at Sy.
"Mmm...?" Evie blinked after a moment. "Well, I have a charm on my belt...?"

"Hor-a-sho good too!" Sy grinned and continued their game. Oh, friends were so much fun!
"Alright," Jesse nodded. He stared into Evie's eyes and circled his right hand in mid-air. In a moment, he snapped and clapped it over his left hand...and there in his palm sat the charm. A slow grin spread over his face.

They were! Expecially when they weren't afraid of you. Horatio hummed to himself. "Sy? Wat tent?"
Evie's eyes widened for a moment and she smiled, holding her hand out for the charm. "Slight of hand, huh?"

"You could say that," Jesse nodded, holding out her charm and...her wallet?!
"Tent is...is...fwee wall an' a do'."

Evie raised her brows even farther. "So, that's why you bumped into me, huh?"
"Huh! I never seed a tent before." Horatio nodded. He'd seen sewers though!"
