Roule liked talking. Well, not really. But about dragons! I mean, what topic could be more interesting? Dragons were definitely the coolest thing in D-corp anyways.
"Oooh you are? If you do can you tell me? I don tink I get a dragen for a lonnnng time..." he said, suddenly a bit down. Apparently it was Ma's fault 'cause she put it off for so long. He sighed, glaring down at his feet.
"Ne, panDa?" The boy hadn't realized he had mispronounced. He did this alot though. "Ah.. panda.. he sed he was a RED one toe.. So I donno." He hadn't seen a black and white panda yet, but they sounded boring. Black and white! Besides, he didn't even like those colours.
Shaking himself thoroughly, the boy looked around. "Neee, where your Ma? Or Daddy like Nara calls it.." He couldn't find an exceptionally tall person around. Was Liang by herself? He couldn't imagine why other parents would leave her alone like that.. but then again, Nev did it all the time.

She smiled, glad it was back on a topic she knew about. "Sure, I'll tell you, but it might not be for a little while, I still need to meet my egg and then it has to hatch and everything." Where was her Ma? "Well, my mother is at home, I don't have a father," she explained, then gestured to the water, "I'm here with my big brother Teagan, he's water skiing I guess. He always does stuff like that, sports and stuff."

Oooh.. Water skiing? Roule hadn't heard that heard before, but he guessed that the figure out on the water was her brother.
"Your Mader lets you go.. yourself? Lucky.. Nevvie won leave me alon.. She keep saying that I gon get lost but I know I wone!" He pursed his lips in irritation. Nev was uh.. slightly.. overprotective? sometimes. Maybe that was the wrong word.
"whee! I donno anyone with a dragen cept for Lai but his is scary and pink.." Roule giggled. It was a pink snakey, and he had remembered the conversation between him and Nev when he had gotten home that day. Snakes were pink afterall! He had coloured it pink on the alphabet sheet, but Nev had insisted they were brown. She was wrong!

Liang nodded, "She knows I'm not going to run away or anything, and she trusts Teagan I guess." Back on the subject of dragons. Wait, weren't snakes green? And weren't dragons green? Or black, or something like that. She'd never heard of a pink dragon. Of course, she didn't know much about dragons. "I've never seen a dragon," she admitted, seeming curious about all of the stuff this toddler seemed to know.

He nodded. That made sense too. He wished he had a brother or something.. All he had met was some crazy green person who he had shouted at.. That guy was definitely weird. Ma had said that they were uh.. almost cousins, but that didn't make any sense either.
"Never seen won? I don think der's too many.. Ne, I donno. Lai sed his waz a 'Lebi..tian..' or someting. Weird looking uwah..." He hadn't really met with too many people. Laial had been totally cool, but his dragon/snake was kinda.. creepy. It kept looking at him like he was.. uh.. gonna eat him.

"Lebitan," she repeated, storing the word in the back of her mind. "I have one cousin I think, his name's Jack, he's kind of gross," she frowned, remembering what it was like to eat with the little carnivore. She'd only met a few people herself, but she hoped that eventually she would have a lot more friends. So far everyone she'd met was more like just aquaintances, she thought that was the word at least. Except maybe Keanu, but she didn't know if he really considered her a friend.

"I don tink Zen is my cousin.." he said frantically. Gosh, that guy! He was so scary. He was like.. twice his height and had freaky RED EYES!!1 Honestly, that guy always wore black.. and a suit.. and there was this other thing that followed him around all the time.
"Mmh so uh.. wat are you doing?" He asked, sitting at the picnic table. The ink had now formed a small pool on the parchment. Roule flushed slightly. "Ano.. did I do this? Ehh.. Sorry.." He was so embarrased, and partially guilty. It had looked so pretty too. He attempted to clean up, handing Liang her bag.

Getting to her feet, Liang shook her head, "Well, no, not directly at least. My big clunky wings knocked it over. It's ok though, I can make another." She took her bag thankfully, glad that it didn't seem to have any ink spilled on it. The rest of her supplies were in it, as well as her fan, and it would have been bad if they had gotten stained. "That's calligraphy," she explained, "I was practicing it, I'm still pretty new to it."

"sure?" He blushed. Gah, the guilt! He hated stuff like this. If only he hadn't tripped. "Ano.. you looked uh.. weird fom far away so I came clozer.." The boy's speech slurred when he was in distress.
"Ah.. caleephee.. You artest den? Ma says she one but I don believe her." He looked over the ink splatters. There was originally black.. and blue..? Maybe. Getting to his feet, the boy sat plumply on the bench. It was what, late afternoon now?
"Uweh, are you old?" Wait. No, that came out. Clearing his throat, Roule tried again. "..Um.. HOW.. old ..youare?" The boy clumped the last two words together, speaking quickly. He seemed so nervous around her! Maybe it was still the guilt.

"Well, I suppose I'm an artist," she mused, looking over the mess, "A lot of girls do caligraphy though, it's proper." This boy probably didn't know too much about what was proper, but that was being rude. How old was she... She had to think about that for a moment. "I'm six, Mother says so at least." She said, nodding purposefully, "What about you?"

"Proh..per..?" He hadn't heard of that word either. Hmmm, too many words, too little time. He would really have to ask Nev about all the words in the world. He had to learn them all!
"Artests are nice.. they make pretty things." Pondering on his question for a few seconds, he looked up at her. "Makey one for Roule?" He asked, starinag at the drenched paper. He was pretty sure it was beautiful before he so pointlessly crashed into the ground. He'd like to have something pretty in his room.. Ma's drawings were never that nice.
"six? I four.. I tink.. or tree.. forgot." Roule said, scratching his head. The boy skipped over the 'h's of every sentence. He sounded like he had a bit of a lisp actually.

Liang nodded, happy that he liked what she did for fun. "I could make one for you, sure," She glanced at the paper, then back at him, "Is there any word you like a lot? I could do one with that for you. Or maybe one for good fortune, there's a lot of uses." Picking up her bag of supplies, she realized she didn't have another paper roll with her, "It might take me a little while."

"Uweh.. Ma taught me dis one.. Long..? Dragen!!" He said, squealing. Looking around, the boy shrugged lightly. "One to get me a dragen.. yay.."
Quieting down, he sat down opposite the phoenix. "Wat animal you? You don look like any I seen.." Then again, he hadn't seen too many in his life. She was certainly a bird, but what else? He had never seen one so bright.. and well, firey. He really did like her colour scheme though, it was extremely pretty.
"Ano okay.." The boy said warmly, setting his head on his arm and watched her. Not intently, like staring, but kind of a grey area between paying attention and zoning out.

Alright then, something to bring him his deepest wish. Since that seemed to be to get a dragon. People certainly did ask her what she was a lot. But she didn't mind, she supposed she was a little out of the ordinary. "I'm a Feng-Huang, Mother says you mostly only see them in myths, so I don't know if you would have seen one anywhere. What are you?"

"Drageeeeeeeen," he said with a small squeal, exastic. Liang was going to paint him something to get him a dragon! Maybe she had magic powers, because he had never heard of anyone being able to do that. Maybe she had a magic brush! Or was it the paper? He didn't know, but the boy had determined that the pretty birdy was magic!
"Feng huang..?" Roule inquired, parroting the girl. He didn't know what it was at all! Maybe he'd ask Ma, because she probably knew about that. She knew the language, right? "Wutz a mith?" He asked, eyes wide in apprehension. Wow, Liang was so interesting! Mith? What was that? You only see them in Mith? Maybe it was a country.. or a far away place in the clouds! Who knew?
"Anmh.. I weasel. Dat what Ma says!" He grinned. Being a weasel was something to be proud of, Nev had said, but she had been chuckling while she said that so maybe not.. But! He enjoyed being a weasel.
