Both Reiha and Korbin noticed the way Sei cringed and went to protect his face. Boththought it was a good thing to know if the boy turned on her. For Korbin it was a natural thought. He trusted no one and nothing, besides Reiha. He carved for nothing and nobody, besides Reiha. He loved none and none loved him, besides Reiha.
For Reiha it also came nautrally, a sad thing for a small girl to always be watching her back. But she didn't think it sad. She thought it normal. She had no reason to asume otherwise. At least not yet.
Reiha watched as Sei climbed down and then she followed. "What kind of game?" she asked, warry again of him. Even though the last game was lots of fun. Korbin stuck close now, resting on Reiha's shoulder, glaring at the boy.
"Ah..." Adian paused for a long time at that question. he bit his lip and realized he looked more like an idiot then even he would be able to handle easily. "Um...s**t okay this will sound crazy" he started, "But Reiha isn't like mine. Well I mean she is mine but I didn't get her the old fashion way" Adian said with a quick sort of grin, "I got this odd ticket, with a date on it. When I went to the address on the ticket I met this werido who aparently liked to walk around in boxers and he lead me on to this train where I found Reiha" Adian said it all rather quickly, trying to explain himself, "So..I don't really know. I asume she's like 4 or 5 or something"

Hikari couldn't help but let out a sharp laugh before burying her head in her hands. She couldn't believe it. Gaia really was rather small in perspective.
"So you've met Pere have you?" She said chuckling slightly, "Sie is the same,"
Sie looked at the seemingly 'glaring' crow and winced in apprehension.
"I 'unno," He said timidly, "What's your favorite game?" The passenger questioned, tilting is head to the side letting his small pony tail fall over his shoulder. Blue and green eyes constantly shifting from Reiha to Korbin in paranoia.

Adian relaxed instently when the woman cracked up, not offended, or worse horifed. Not only would that bruise his delicate ego, but he was worried he get the cops called on him or something. Then that leave Reiha right where he didn't want her. In an orphange. Worse...he be back on one of those small dank cells. Adian repressed a shudder and gave a smal grin.
"Really? You got him off a tain. Well maybe you can explain this odd note I found on a ticket. 'I shall fly as free as the birds' Does that mean anything to you?" Adian asked, it has been bugging him for a while now.
"I normally just stay in my room and read" Reiha said truthfully, stroking Korbin slowly as she thought. Her books weren't good books to make games from so she frowned deeply. "We can race again, that was fun. I liked climbing trees" she admited.
Reiha glanced over to the boy and then to Korbi, deciding to calm the fear. "don't worry, Korbin wont hurt you unless you hurt me. Korbin doesn't like to attack random people."

"Ah yes...The train. Message wise? I haven't the foggiest," Hikari thought back, nibbling on her lower lip recalling Sie's ticket, " Sie had something scrawled on his aswell...'I'll come back to save you,' something or other." Hikari murmured looking upwards.
Sie let out a large breath of relief. He shifted about on his perch on the branch and thought of his books at home that were laying about in his room, crayons and paper with drawings and sketches littering the floor with the occasional leather bound science book. How he loved reading.
"I won't hurt you," He said happily, " You're my friend now...right?" He added in an uneasy tone. Before he recieved an answer his mind was quickly distracted by the thought of another race.
"Hm, Okay! I like racing too," Sie agreed still wary of the bird that perched on Reiha's shoulder. Taking a glance down he pointed out a nearby tree with low hanging and gnarled branches. "Let's race to that one!"

"Hmm," Adian glanced over to Reiha, looking at Korbin. "Maybe it has something to do with their lives before they came here. Your Sei, he seems like the agreeable sort. Did he tell you about his life before he decied to ride on the choochoo?" Adian asked her, grining again. Everything seemed like half a joke to him.
Reiha loved reading too. Her room was neat though, almost scary how neat it was. Reiha loved order though. She kept her room perfectly clean. her books all in one clean stack that she can reach easily from the bed. Her books were odd choices for a 4 or 5 year old. As she prefered none fiction. How to build a table and Astrophysics for Dummies was Reiha's current favorites. Adian has very random books laying around
"Well that's good...wait, friend?" she asked surpised and fell quietfor a moment. Korbin was her only friend...She loved Korbin to bits...But was it really that easy to make a friend? Reiha didn't remember meeting Korbin...but why couldn't they be friends? She liked Sei well enough, he was nice, and he said he wouldn't hurt her. "Yeah, I geuss we can be that" she said softly, smiling to herself. She had another friend.
Reiha glanced up and nodded as she saw the tree. Korbin glanced at it then spread his wings and flew there lazily. Reiha wouldn't run well with him on her shoulder so he might as well wait at the finnish line. "Okay" Reiha agreeded, "First one there wins!" she cried out, she almost started running then but remembered, "1,2,3 GO!" she shouted and dashed off.

Hikari couldn't help but chuckle at Aidain's choice of words.
"No, He just looks at me like I have an alien sprouting out of my eyebrow before returning to those drawings he's so fond of, " Hikari said, pondering a tad on Sie's drawings, " I really don't know why though, their just a bunch of shapes thrown into a circle..." She muttered.
Sie hopped off the branch and chased after Reiha with a broad smile even though he was losing...again. Sprinting as fast as little legs could carry him, he reached the tree, out of breath and very, very tired. He didn't think he could climb the tree again, let alone move.
"You're too fast, Rei," He said unknowing that he had found a nickname for the girl he hardly knew. The question would be though, would Reiha want a nickname?

Alright, she laughed! Adian grined bigger, feeling like he had won at something at least. Even if it was just making a woman laughed. Adian wasn't very handsome, he wasn't very smart, he wasn't very sweet, and he wasn't very strong. The only hook he had for girls was his goofy additude. Maybe they saw him as half a joke but no one got serious about someone whose half a joke to them. And he wasn't looking for serious.
"Huh" Adian said, though, leaning back some and looking at the kids running. "Now this is just odd. Do you know any more of these kids who arive on trains?" Adian asked, very intrested.
Reiha raced forward, her small body moving nimbly and quick. The race was won before it was finnished, still Reiha ran as fast as she could. She enjoyed running, it was so fun to move so fast, as if she was flying. She almost opened up her arms to flap, but that would of been a silly thing to do. She couldn't fly...
Reiha reached up and pulled herself up into the tree just as Sei was ariving. She liked climbing trees, but she didn't climb high because sei aparently was staying on the ground. She looked at him as he used a nickname. She titled her head to the side confused.
"ha" she corrected, "I'm ReiHA"

"Sorry," Sie said once getting back his breath, " I call Cheshire, Chesh, and Mumma, Mum. It's easier. But I'll call you Rei...ha" He said making a small enphasis on the 'ha' bit to keep it engraved in his mind. "Your very good at running," He added to prove his defeat.
Hikari blinked and glanced over at Sie and Reiha racing. Atleast he was making friends. Back to reality she popped out of her daze and turned to Aidan.
"Well, I know of two others...Adding Reiha, that's three. Although I'm sure there are more. Pere gumbles about arrivals when Chao and I are fixing up the place. He's an odd sort though..."

"Cheshire" Reiha said slowly and looked over to see the woman in question and Adian sititng pretty close to each other. She frowned slightly and turned twords Sie. "I geuss you could call me Rei if you want too" she said with a shrug. "I just call Adian, Adian. He isn't my father or nothin'. He doesn't control me" she said firmly, a bit defensive aobut it. "Only I contorl me!"
"Chao?" Adian asked intrested. he remembered hearing a woman's voice when he picked up Reiha but he never got the woman, regetfully. Adian loved to meet woman. Not just for obvious reasons, after all Adian didn't nail every woman he met, he just liked to meet them. Woman were an intrest to Adian, a sexy one.
Adian glanced over and watched as the pair talked. Reiha had that stobourn look on her face and Adian grined, loving the fact that he reconzed these kind of things. He may of not been a parent but he wanted to be a gaurdian, a good one. One that Reiha could trust.

"Alright!" Sie said proudly following Reiha's lead, "Then my mu can't control me! But...What if she's right?" He added as an after thought. He distinctly remembers the time, not so long ago mind you, when he recieved an 'owo'. Hikari told him to sit still and hold his hurt hand under cold water and it felt...Alot better.
Sie swung up into the tree next to Reiha. Not too close, for Korbin still frightened him, but enough to be friendly.
"A friend of mine," Hikari said, distracted by Sie's attempts at climbing the tree, a very amusing display indeed.
"We're rennovating the...Building that Sie and the others arrived by," She explained.

Reiha shrugged, "Adian's rarely right" she said in a dismisive tone. Then remembered the gifts he had gotten her. "He can be nice sometimes though" she admited slowly, then shrugged, "But he should just leave me alone. I know what I want" she said with a definate nod.
Reiha glanced down as Sei tried to climb up. She grined and reached down to help him up so he sat in a nearby brnahc. Korbin was roosted on a higher branch, watching Sei very closely.
"Ah, I remember seeing alot of boxes while I was there" Adian said with a grin. "Is your friend as cute as you?" he asked, doing the first, full fliritng gesture since he arived but he couldn't really help himself. She was so damn cute and it's been a while since he could relax enough to just flirt casually with someone.

Sie grinned at the gesture, gladly taking the helping hand until he was on the tree branch he desired. All of the sudden a thought came to his head.
"Rei, do you like drawing?" sie asked kicking his feet a little, "Or just reading" The passenger added, green and blue eyes turning towards Reiha.
Hikari gave Aidan a rather, well...blank look. Eyebrow quirked wondering if he really did mean what he said, and debating on which list of people in her head he should be listed under: 'The odd' or 'TEH SKETCHY' list. Either one would be a welcome candidate.
"Excuse me?" She said her brow knitting in slight confusion.

Reiha smiled slightly as Sei aceepted her hand. She may not like to get help she love to give it. Made her feel useful. Reiha liked to feel useful. That's what she felt every time she cleaned her room. That and she liked fresh air. Reiha took a deep breath of the fresh air and looked down at the duel eyed boy.
"I dunno, I don't draw much. Adian got me some crayon and I used them now and then, but it isn't as much as reading. i really like reading. It's fun. I like to learn things when I read. Do you like to read?" Reiha asked, kicking her legs in the air.
Adian gave her a mildly embaressed grin. He hated it when he got that confused little look. made him feel like he was trambling on virgin grounds. Adian stayed away from unexperenced girls, they always took things deeper then he wanted. That was cool, they deserved soemone willing to go as deep as them. He wasn't going to give a girl her first boyfriend and then break it off a week or so later. that just be cruel.
"Nothing, just giving you a complments" Adian said lazily. Keep it light, he gave her a charming grin, nice and light.

"I wanna show you something!" Sie said balancing his way over to the trunk of the tree. He glanced around before spotting a small stone that had made it to the crevace of trunk and branch. Most likely placed there by some other child on a bored spring day. He whispered a quiet sorry and draw a tiny circle along with other marks about it into the trunks aged bark.
"It's in my book!" He said happily, moving to the side so Reiha could see.
Hikari chuckled and gave the guy a break that he most likely would not have gotten had it not been so wonderful out today. She flahsed him a grin and waved her hands as if to dismiss the issue.
"It's alright and thank you," She said only slightly flustered.

Reiha watched intrested as Sei marked the time tested tree. When he moved back she couldn't see that well anyway so she carefully moved down so she was the same branch he was. She felt the branch sag slightly but didn't worry about it much as she learned close to Sei's drawing.
"That's intresting," she said and looked over to the boy, close enough to really see his oddly colored eyes. She grined, she liked them, they were odd. "What does it mean?"
Adian grined again, and, being the hormonally driven fool that he was, moved his arm down from the back of the bench to around her shoulders. He didn't pull her closer, or even say anything. Just rested his arm against her shoulder, galncing over to the kids.
"They sure do like to be in trees" Adian mentioned, and remembered when his friends and he would climb trees for hours. Trees gave kids that height that they so despertly wanted in life. Adian wondered how hard it be to climb one again.
