Teagan looked down, pretended to notice his foot, and popped it up onto the bar, "S'a tie. You're a good climber." His ears twitched, and he started to wonder if this boy could do the same things he could, like handstands and cartwheels, and all that fun stuff. Tails were good things, yep. "What do you like to do?" Well, he wasn't really expecting an answer, but Karoko talked when he didn't think she would, so who knows, maybe this one just needed to be pushed.

Eva arched a brow, but seemed to accept the tie after a moment or so, smiling happily at the compliment and giving a nod as if trying to return it. The big kid was such a fast an' good climber! The little guy was surprised that anyone liked climbing as much as he did. After all, Freize always yelled at him for climbing on stuff. His smile faded as the other boy asked him a question, and he gave a tilt to his head, one ear remaining perked and the other lowering curiously.

Teagan pouted for a moment, trying to figure out how to explain it. Idea! He lifted himself into a handstand on top of the bars, steadying himself with his tail, "What do you like to do? Like, can you do this? 'S fun!" Alright, so he couldn't see, his hair had fallen over his eyes. He didn't care though, his hair was one of the few things he won fights with Momma about. She wanted him to get it cut back again, but he didn't. He liked it "scruffy" as she called it, it was flippy.

The little male tilted his head as he watched the big boy, and then bit into his lower lip. He didn't do a lot of hand-stand stuffs, not much with his arms... Could he do that..? He stood on the bar he was sitting on with surprising ease, albeit a bit slow, and then stooped over and placed his hands on the bar beneath him before pushing himself up into a weak handstand.. He could do it a little bit, not much... He was kind've bent.. He then fell back over, landing with his back on the bar, toes grasping at the next one down. Wow, Teagan was really good at that, it was harder than it looked. He turned and clambered back up to sit on his bar again, smiling.

Teagan lifted one hand off the bar. So he was just showing off now, Momma woulda snapped at him if she had a headache, told him he could break his head doing silly stunts like that and blah blah. He looked like he was concentrating for a moment, then lowered himself back to a normal sitting position, slouching a bit so that his eyes were level with the littler one's. Maybe he just couldn't pronounce things, "You can call me Tea if you want. A lotta people do."

Eva's ears twitched slightly, eyes widdening as Teagan's trick got even better. Wow, he was real amazing... And also, the little Eden was just that- little- so he was very easily impressed. But oh well. He clapped his hands to show his approval before growing still as the other told him something else. His head tilted itself to one side, and then he seemed to concentrate for a moment or so, as if trying to figure out how to say Tea... But then he just let out a hiss of breath, and his ears lowered slightly. Ergh. It was hard.

Tea shrugged, straighting himself up again. He yanked a little chunk of dried mango out of his pocket, offering it to Eva. "You want a taste?" He asked, smiling cheerfully. All the others seemed to hate his food, Karoko only like blueberries, Alex liked meat, Kaji liked.. Something, and the others, who knows, not mango. "It's tasty, you eat it like this." He ripped a piece off with his sharpest teeth, letting the sugar run off it before he swallowed. "Just be careful not to bite your hand, I did that once, it hurt." With a real show of manners, he licked the last bit of sugar off his lips, wiped his mouth off on his shoulder, and held the fruit out to the littler boy.

Eva relaxed again, tail swaying contently behind him as he glanced about.. He loved being high. His attention was back on Tea after a moment or so, and he blinked as the fruit was pulled out. He eyed the food warily- he was a little bit picky in his foods. He only liked green vegetables and some fruits, which was hell on Freize (the meat eater.) He watched the other boy as he demonstrated how to eat, and then gave a small smile and nodded, taking the offered bit. He hesitated a moment before making sure to carefully do the same as Teagan, watching for his hand. He chewed slowly, and then brightened somewhat. Good. He nodded enthusiastically after a second. Really good. He beamed at the older boy before wiping his mouth off on the back of his hand, glancing at the rest he still held.

The lemur pulled his hands back, "You can keep it if you want. I've gotta bunch." He raised himself into a handstand again, then dropped straight through the bars and caught himself, so that he was hanging upsidedown, with his ankles and tail. There, he could see when he did this, it just made him a bit dizzy. "Do you know how to swim?" He asked curiously, flicking his ears to scare off a fly that was buzzing around his head. "Or..Ooh!" Pulling himself up with little swing, he stood on top of the bars, pointing out to the other side of the park, "Ever tried the uneven bars?" Ok, so gymnastics was kind of girly, he was good at it, and it was fun.

The little guy just gnawed contentedly at the dried fruit, watching as the other did his little routine of sorts on the bars... Eva loved to play, but he wasn't very good at those sorts of things- oh, what he could do was jump from one high place to another, or... Or what Da didn't like so much. He would climb the highest thing in the house and then try to jump down. It was fun. Da didn't seem to think so. Hm. He should try it, then he might like it too.. His ears drooped slightly at the mention of swimming... He had tried, but he was no good at it. Da said it was okay, 'cause he couldn't do it neither and he was a big person. He gave a shake to his head, and turned as the attention was changed to these.. "Uneven bars". He gave a tilt to his head, and then looked towards the other boy with what seemed to be a "show me" expression, curious. Maybe this would be another fun game?

A wide smile spread across the older boy's face, simply saying, "Watch" He climbed back up so that he stood on top of the bars. Raising his tail up to steady himself, he paused for a moment, trying to figure out which way he was most likely to clear. Ah well, if he hit the bars he hit the bar. He charged forward and leapt off the jungle gym, tucking his legs up against his body, his arms out to the side. This had to be the best feeling in the world, just flying through the air with nothing stopping you. Well, until you hit the ground of course, but there was about two seconds until that happened. The whole world would just, slow down, like everyone was watching him. And here came the ground. He landed firmly on his feet, though his backside nearly touched down as well. It would have been silly to try and land standing up straight, with his legs stretched out he could have broken an ankle, this was might not be as fun, but it was a lot safer. "Can you do that?" He called, standing up straight now, his posture giving a mock challenge.

Eva beamed as he realized what they were doing. He shot a challenging look back down towards the landed lemur before moving to a stand and doing a little hop onto the bar that Teagan had been on before. He turned then, lowering himself, muscles tensing. For a moment he was completely serious, coiling back a bit, preparing for the jump... And then he sprung, straightening out his body rather than tucking like the other boy- it was more instinct, really. He drew in a deep breath, excitement coursing all throughout him as he went flying through the air. He loved the rush he got when pulling stunts like this... He landed in a crouch by the older boy, a bit closer to the jungle gym. He wasn't too practiced in it yet, so he couldn't get all too far... But atleast he cleared the mess of metal. He stood up, smiling cheerily before shooting a glance towards Freize... He hadn't seen, so he wasn't angry! Everything was good then!

Teagan clapped for a moment, then waving a hand to Eva, yelled, "Come on, it's this way!" He spun on his heel, Momma would need to get him new shoes soon, and took off at a dead run, leaning enough that his hands might have touched the ground if they still weren't off the the side. He wasn't a fast runner persay, but what he lacked in speed he made up for in agility. Dodging a tree here, hopping a water fountain there, and stopping on a dime when he reached the destination. It wasn't much to show, just three bars of different heights, all over five and a half feet off the ground, lined up in the sand. But still, the boy stood there with his hands on his hips, staring at it like it was made of gold, or in his case, sugar. "Isn't it great?" He asked, catching his breath fairly fast. Now, had he been a normal child, or even just a touch less strange, he would have been kicking sand at the girls that were currently lined up to practice. They were all so small, even though most of them were nearly five years older than him. A little known fact, he loved gymnastics almost as much as he loved leaping.

Evarobby took off after the older boy, his own run pretty quick, but a bit akward.. It was kind of made up of little hops from foot to foot. He was better and faster at climbing, and a lot more agile. He steered clear of the obstacles that Tea dodged so easily, knowing he pro'lly couldn't do the same as the bigger boy. The toddler stopped on one of his hops, turning behind the other before lowering his other foot. He glanced over the bars curiously, and of course they seemed pretty grand, mostly because he was so small. He was a bit small for his age, and was still just a little guy, so everything bigger than him seemed grand.. He nodded before turning his attention towards the girls. He watched now, curious as to see what these magical bars did- or what you did with 'em. Either way.

Teagan waved to one of the smaller girls, and she waved back before jumping up into the air and grabbing hold of the lowest bar, which was still a ways up for her. She swung back and forth a few times, then in a rather simple feat the lemur was always amazed by, went up and over, into a handstand, and turned around on her hands so that she was facing the other way. He turned his attention to Eva, "That's Beckie, she's eight. Her Momma lets her play sometimes, but she spends alotta time on the bars an' doing exercises. She's training for the O-limpicks!" True, he couldn't ever compete with her, they thought his "natural ability" was cheating. But that didn't mean he couldn't train with her sometimes.
