Nouă heard the giggling and smiled a bit, though he made sure to keep that hidden, and check in a few other places instead, roaming around part of the playground, checking behind trees for Aludra, and around the playground itself for... the other boy. He didn't actually know that kid's name yet; might be a worthy investment. Finally, crawling underneath the playground itself, he spotted one of the golden wings of the boy Aludra had been playing with. "Haha~!" he laughed confidently, grinning at the boy. "I found you!!"
Soon as the two came out from under the slide, Nouă stood and scratched his head, glancing around to try and find the boy that was still in hiding. He glanced toward the slightly older one and gave a bit of a smirk. "So, wan'na help me look for Aludra?"

Vincent smiled as he was found. He'd expected to be; with all the games he'd played with his older brother he'd come to realize that when you have a tail, it's pretty hard to hide. "Sure, I'll help." He said, nodding.
He looked in a pile of leaves. No Aludra. He decided to look where he thought Joshua might hide. He looked into the branches of a tree. Nope. Under the bridge that led to one of the smaller slides. He wasn't there either.
Where was Aludra?

Noah weaved in and out of the trees around the playground, but was unable to find his charge. He blinked a few times, glancing around and scratching the side of his head. He glanced down at the other boy and chuckled a bit, before cupping his hand around his mouth. "Olly-olly, oxen-free, Aludra!! We give in," he called across the barren playground, waiting a moment for the child to appear.
Aludra smirked happily, peeking out from behind a tree with leaves held onto his head, tail swishing to either side happily. He let the leaves fall and trotted over to the two, a grin on his face that bordered on prideful. That was until he spoke. "Nice job," he said, nodding a couple times and gesturing toward both of them. "Almost found 'few times."

Vinny's smile brightened as Aludra came out from behind the tree. "You're a good hider," He told his friend nodding. "Better than me!" Though Vincent didn't consider himself one of the best hiders, no. That was his older brother.
"Maybe you can teach me how to be better?" He asked.

Aludra rolled his eyes at the compliment and shook his head. "Not that good," he commented with a shrug. "Just blend with trees," he added, nodding a bit. Well, except for his hair, but he got over that with the leaves held to his head. He blinked a few times at Vincent's request, before shrugging. "Fine," he stated easily, gesturing for Vin' to follow him to the tree that he'd been hiding behind.

Vinny blinked. What did Aludra mean? Of course he was that good! He was better than Vinny, and probably could give Joshua a run for his money. Which was saying a lot. If Vincent held you in higher esteem than his older brother...
Well....
It would be a sign that the end was near. The boy followed his friend to the tree. Vinny had never thought of trees as a good hiding place until now. "How'd you blend in so well?" He asked.

Aludra held up a finger for a pause in the other boy, as though he was going to show him within the moment. Nouă followed as well, also curious. He had no idea how the little boy had managed to completely vanish either. "Think ni'visible thoughts," he stated with a nod of the head, ducking down to pick up some leaves, before pressing them to his head and keeping his arms up. He looked toward either person in turn. "Stay still," he added, taking a few steps back until he was completely still against the tree. He wrapped his tail perfectly in a way that it lay flat against the tree, each of his off-colour markings lined up with an odd colour of the tree.
He leaned against the tree and let his eyes fall shut, letting out a slow breath that was almost indiscernible from the sound around the two of them. With a few blinks of his eyes, Nouă almost thought that the boy was either a carving or a natural growth. "Impressive," he commented with a soft chuckle and a smile. Aludra cracked open one of his tri-coloured eyes and glared at the man. "Is not."

Vinny nodded in understanding, he could see how Aludra had hid so well. "So you think invisible thoughts and you're invisible." He said with a grin. "Cool!"
He wondered if he could do that, but he wasn't exactly willing to try in front of his friend. What if he messed up? He didn't want to look stupid.

Aludra laughed weakly and nodded a few times. He let the leaves fall from his head and walked toward the other child, tapping at his hair lightly. "Vin' be better. Dark hair like tree colour," he stated matter-of-factly, gesturing toward the tree with interest. "Try?"

Vinny nodded, he'd try if Aludra wanted him to. He leaned against the tree, his tail flat against it. He tried to think invisible thoughts, but he doubted he would be able to do it as well as his friend could.
Finally, he could no longer keep his question in. "Am I doing it right?" He asked.

Aludra looked the other boy over with a thoughtful eye, tapping a finger to his lips as he'd seen many adults do when they were thinking things over. The other boy's skin colour didn't match the tree perfectly, but surely it was better than Aludra could do.
At the question, the younger boy nodded a few times. "Is right," he commented, tail flicking a bit. "Darker clothes is better," he added, making note that if one wanted to play hide-and-seek with the trees, wearing darker clothing that day would probably be a smarter idea.
That was when an oddly familiar and rather irritating noise filled the air, making Aludra glare at Nouă with a soft pout. Said person chuckled weakly and pulled the pager out of his pocket to glance at the number before he smiled a bit at Vincent. "Sorry about this, but I'm afraid we'll have to cut this meeting short. It was nice meeting you Vincent," the man commented nicely, before looking down at his temporary charge to do the same.
"Nice to meet," Aludra said softly, extending his hand toward the other child for a handshake, which was the most physical contact that he ever really allowed himself to have.
