Waya pressed his ears against his head in disappointment. Damn, she didn't even have an idea on where she wanted to go? Home would have been his first choice but that wasn't very nice. "Doesn't matter..." He murmered, starting off in a random direction away from the HQ.
"Karan, I baby sat him when he was younger..." He stated and gave a small smile as he thought back to how the boy enjoyed the brownie. "I saw him and Prana." And of course Prana was the reason he had come to the HQ hoping to catch a glimpse of her again. Ever since his dream he had too many emotions to figure out. He silently wondered if he'd have a simliar dream of Mayu, another flush coming to his cheeks. Oh don't even give yourself ideas! He hissed into his mind.

Think, think, think. "How about the park?" Mayu suggested, though she was really sick of them by then. She had long since figured out that parks were basically the same everywhere, but whatever -- they were the universal scapegoat, or at least when you have nothing else to suggest.
"I see," Mayu responded, "We just talked and... stuff." There went her memory again! And it had only been a few days ago that she had met him too!
The kitten in her arms squirmed a bit and Mayu hugged it close to keep it from running away again. Being at the Legend HQ when she ran away was tough enough, and the girl couldn't help but think what would happen if she ran away out on the road.

"The park..." Waya echoed with a small disappointed sound. He really didn't want to go somewhere screaming children would be. Seriously, he got that enough at home. He took a quick glance around and stopped, "Let's not go to the park... How about getting ice cream?" Girls liked sweets didn't they? Even he had a soft spot for ice cream of the chocolate kind.
"I met a few others, but I left shortly after. I don't even remember if I got their names or not... but it doesn't really matter to me." Giving a small shug of his shoulders, he turned to lead the girl back the way they had come.
"You should leave the cat at the HQ too... don't want it running away on you or anything. I know I'd be upset if Neshoba up and left me."

Mayu shrugged. "Alright, ice cream. I don't know any places around here that sell it, though."
"I haven't really met a lot of people," Mayu said, "though I want to meet more. It's fun making new friends, y'know?" Pushing the door open, Mayu took a quick glance into the headquarters.
"That's a smart idea," she replied, and dropped the kitty into the HQ's living room where it landed upon the carpet gracefully. "Stay here, cat! You don't want to get lost again!" She mock scolded, giving a shake of her finger. She had long since given up trying to pronounce the complicated name that her mother had given the tabby, and resorted to calling it "cat", "kitty", or less often, "Verdi".

"You're in luck then..." Waya said as he waited for the girl, watching as she dropped the cat off into the HQ. "I know of this great place... My mother showed it to me awhile back."
Once Mayu was ready to go, Waya turned into the direction they had to go. "I do hope you don't mind walking... because I'm still too young to drive and it's not a short walk..." Smiling a bit he gave a casual shrug. "I myself enjoy walking... but I'm not sure if you will. If you get tired I can gie you a piggy back, I do that with my younger siblings."
It wasn't until after the words left his mouth that he felt a little embarassed. Ok time to change the subject, back onto ice cream! He turned golden eyes to the girl and smiled a bit. "What ice cream flavor do you like? I myself like strawberry..."

Mayu followed suit, frowning slightly as she heard the words "piggyback". She wasn't that incapable that she had to be carried around by other people, was she?
"Walking's fine with me," she said, bounding down the sidewalk quickly. There, see? She was obviously capable of taking care of herself.
"Strawberry," she answered, "and not just 'cause it's pink." Mayu nodded, though she was also a bit fond of chocolate, and more so of the rare green tea ice cream.

He watched as Mayu rushed ahead a few steps, smirking just a bit. The possible out comes is her getting tired quickly or falling. The later of course being more embarrassing for her. His eyes wandered from her and to the scenery, then of course back to her.
The way the sun was shining down upon her, it ... "Wow..." Waya whispered to himself, feeling that small blush creep onto his cheeks once more. Through Waya's eyes it was like a porno, alls it needed was a sudden spring shower. Sure Mayu might not be a busty teenager, but what Waya saw was not the girl before him.
Waya noticed that he once more was staring at the other, shaking his head to clear the cheesy music and the fantasy playing before his eyes. Oh gods this puberty thing was driving him insane! He didn't understand how Jason went through it and survived.
"So.. Mayu." Yes, small talk was the best thing to keep ones mind off of those impure thoughts. "What are some things you enjoy doing?" The perfect conversation starter!

"Uh.." Mayu couldn't think of anything to say that wouldn't make her sound boring. "...Hm. Well, I take care of the flowers around my house and read and... stuff." Yes, "stuff" would be a perfect way to conclude her sentence. It was a nice filler word.
"And you?" she asked, turning around so she was walking backwards. She managed a few seconds of it before having to turn back around, in fear of crashing into someone or something up ahead.

Waya pressed his ears down to his head in thought. What did he do? "Well..." A hand lifted to scratch behind an ear, his eyes watching the ground as they walked. "Besides watching my siblings and talking to Neshoba... I sometimes read this book on Shamanism that my fist mother gave me. It has a lot of interesting things in it... Though I haven't really spoken to anyone about it... Just never really comes into the conversation at home."
Shrugging a bit he casually locked his fingers behind his head, walking with his arms lifted like that. "So all you do is stuff? Nothing special like talking to trees or something?" He asked, chuckling a bit. "You just have that earthy feeling I suppose.. Probably the flowers. Though it gives you a nice sweet smell... Permanente perfume."

"Ah, sounds interesting." Mayu nodded, though she wasn't exactly sure what shamanism was.. She would have to find a dictionary when she got home and look the word up.
"Yep, just stuff. Nothing special." She yawned, stretching her arms slightly. "Thanks," she replied, to the perfume statement. She didn't know what else to say, she wasn't very.. good at small talk.

Well this was going well... NOT. Waya frowned as his attempt at small talk failed. There was still quite a bit of way to walk, and that conversation hit a brick wall in less than 30 seconds. Chewing his lip a bit he allowed himself to muse over the situation.
Walking to the ice cream parlor with a girl, one who didn't chit chat easily... So maybe it wasn't the best situation, but... Could he consider this a date? He knew if he even mentioned this to his older brother he'd be picked on for months. No, this wasn't a date. For that much he was certain.
Curiously he glanced over at Mayu, noticing how cute she was. She wasn't Prana though, the girl this little boy had developed a crush on. What would Prana think if she were to see them like this? Ugh! He was so confused.
Shaking his head clear of any thought, he concentrated on just walking. Silence was working now, and why break it? Silence was golden right. Who said they had to walk and talk at the same time? Giving a little nod to himself he decided to just stay quiet the remainder of the walk. If she wanted to talk about something then she could strike up the conversation. Otherwise... Nature was good to listen to.

And now came the awkward silence.
Mayu had etched into her mind somewhere that silence was bad, being in a loud environment for most of her everyday life. At home it was either movie after movie, or loud classical music blasting from the room next door, or the screeching of her siblings from downstairs. And since she was surrounded by noise every day, Mayu had made the decision that noises, especially loud ones, were good.
Or.. something to the effect of that.
Well, silence wasn't especially harmful to anyone. It was pleasant in some situations, in fact. But silences, especially awkward ones, were so.. so boring when one was with other people.
She would have to begin a conversation. Eyes darting about, she tried to catch sight of something interesting which would, hopefully, serve as a starting point of a nice chat.
"So..." she tapped a finger on her chin, trying to think of a way to continue. "How's the weather today?"
It was a stupid question -- she had eyes, she could tell for herself. However, it was the only thing she could come up with on such short notice. It would, hopefully, fare better than the wit she had come up with around Demare. "You have wings," indeed.
