"Praying mantith," Reese repeated, meeting Zyan's gaze without blinking. He'd have to remember that one...and look it up at home on Poppa's laptop.
"I am a theahorthe!" he proclaimed proudly in an answer to her unasked question, puffing out his cheeks and his chest. Hey, he figured while she was telling, he could tell too! "Poppa thayth I will be a very good thwimmer."
Thank goodness he didn't spit with his lisp. Sylvester the Cat he was not.

Seahorse? Those delicate things the cling to seaweed int he ocean? She had seen a couple in a pet store aquarium and thought they looked ratehr fragile...perhaps that was why the kid was in a wheel chair. her look softened a bit, she was always a softy when it came to younger boys....
"That is really cool." She stated as they walked towards the icecream vendor, she gave a mild and disinterested wave to her mother who looked up breifly and waved back.
"since it is my treat, what would you like?" she asked with her impish smile back in place.

"Oh...wow," Reese whispered as he looked up at the list of ice cream flavors. Even if he couldn't read them, he knew there were a lot and alllll of them where delicious.
And which one to pick! Oh no! Reese took in a deep breath, closed his eyes...and pointed straight out. When he opened his eyes again, he gave Z the greatest smile ever. "That one!"
Bubblegum...the brightest, bluest, most sickeningly sweet flavor ever created by man. What a fitting flavor for the little boy.
Wilbur, once he saw Zyan's mother, relaxed his grip upon Reese's wheelchair. So there really was a guardian behind this darling little bundle of spite. Poor woman. He gave a respectful nod to her, making the mental note to go introduce them once the ice cream had been purchased.
"Don't forget to say thank you," he leaned down to whisper into Reese's ear.
"I won't," the child whispered back at him.

Zyanya looked to where Reese was pointing on the list and using her own fingers she touched the tip of his fingers and traced an invisible path towards the list.
"Pecan ripple delight?" She asked to make sure, didn't want to kid to die randomly if he was say allergic to nuts. "would you like two scoops or one?" she asked using her fingers to indicate the amount he may want. She cast a glare to Wilbur when the whispered something to each but forced a smile back on her face.
He wasn't here. She would not acknowledge his annoying presence.

Is that what the word read? Looked like a B in there to Reese...but hey, he couldn't fully read yet, so what did he know?
And who cared! It's ice cream! All ice cream is good and yummy!
"T..." Reese had started with excitement, but stopped short. Wilbur had said a small cone...one was smaller than two. With a meek smile, almost bashful, he held up a single finger.

Zyanya could figure half as much that Reese really wanted two scoops, but something had caused him to change his mind to one. She had a pretty good idea whom that something was.
She offered a smile turned and faced the icecream vendor in charge she offered a smile and then pointed to the icecream flavor Reese had pointed at.
"Two scoops please of pecan and I would like two scoops of double chocolate." She didn't care if Wilbur only wanted the kid to have one scoop, it was her treat she would give him two. "oh and lots of napkin's." She also requested as the guy behind the counter went to scoop the icecream into two cones. After scrounging for money in her pocket she handed it to the man recieved the cones and turned around with a triumphet smile o her face.
"your too young and skinny to only have one scoop." she explained handing the rather large cone to her little seahorse friend.

(( Wow, I thought I had responded to this. >_< My bad, Big Sis. ))
Reese's eyes bugged out as she ordered him two scoops anyway...and somewhere behind him, he heard Wilbur snort. His little bottom lip was chewed as he glanced up at the butler, his tail wiggling excitedly before the ice cream cone was offered to his hands.
"Thankth, Thee!" he nearly cheered her name, mouth watering as he took a nice long lick of the slowly melting ice cream. "Mmmm!" And there went a dibble down the cone and over his hand.
"Yummy! The betht!" He wasn't exactly scarfing down the cone, but close enough. "Wanna tathte?" he said, shifting the ice cream to point in her direction.
Well...she may not be bad when adults where around, and that was sweet of her to buy the second scoop for the seahorse child anyway. But Zyan had a long way to go before getting on Wilbur's good side. Not that she would care, he assumed...but Reese was enjoying her company, which said to Wilbur he might be forced to see more of the little headstrong female.

Zyanya was actually content to watch the little boy enjoy his icecream, she ate her's a bit more slowly enjoying the taste but wishing she had taken a less sweet flavor. Double chocolate...what was she thinking?? She wasn't even that keen on sweets...
Watching the icecream drip onto Reese's hand she shook out a napkin and then bent over to wipe away the sticky contents no his hand.
When asked if she wanted a taste she gave him a surprised look and then smiled.
"Sure...but you have to try mine too." she replied pointing to her own melting cone.

It was different, and nice, to have a girl dote over him. While Poppa was a great dad, he didn't pull off the motherly role very well at all. And Wilbur was more like a babysitter and a big brother than a mom. With Zyan taking care of him, it made his little insides feel all warm and fuzzy.
"You're nithe," he stated in that blunt, innocent way that children could as she wiped the ice cream off his hand. He was beaming, glowing! A new friend, ice cream, not having to try on clothes! Best day ever, right here!
"Okay!" More ice cream? Did you really expect him to say no? He leaned forward in his chair, taking a taste of the chocolaty chocolateness that was on Z's cone.
"Oooh...that'th goood." Had his DNA been a cat, he would have been purring.

It wasn't he first ti me she had been called 'nice' but it had been Narayan the first time, she always remembered the first times. She offered the young boy a smile that could melt hearts while he tried some of her own ice cream. She could get use to his kid, if it wasn't for the butler.
"You like mine huh?" she said with a obvious grin on her face that was close to teasing. "Next time I will get you a chocolate cone." She promised as she did want to see more of the kid, how was it the young ones always seemed to melt her hard exterior?
Taking another lick of her cone, she spotted her mother staring at her from the corner of her eyes. SHe had been reading a book and how was she going to live from this down? SHe wouldn't hear the end of it from her brother.
Ehehe....but she couldn't just bolt..that would seem rude. Even to her that would be too rude. Might hurt the kids feelings.
"So where do you live?" she asked a tad curious, since he was being followed by a butler she could only assume that he must be wealthy of some sort

"With my Poppa in a houthe. Big houthe. And Wilbur, of courthe," Reese added, glancing up at the man who still gently pushed the wheelchair around.
"Want?" he offered the cone upwards, nearly getting a drop of melting goodness as it made a pass near his face.
"No, thank you Young Sir," Wilbur kindly declined. "Finish though...we have to go once you're done."
"Duun tell me that!" Reese said in a teasing tone. He then proceeded to take a long slow lick of his ice cream, giggling as Wilbur rolled his eyes. He was smiling, and quietly chuckling...but there was an eye roll, nonetheless.
"Where'th your momma at?" Reese asked of Z, redirecting his attention to her over the heap of coldness that was slowly getting smaller.

Just him, his father and the butler? She decided it was best not to ask where the mother was at this point...maybe when he was older. She watched the little scenario fill out, Reese seemed comfortable with the butler....that annoyed her. She wanted him to dislike him as well. It made it easier to ignore the man.
Eh? Snapping out of her own thoughts she looked to Reese only to see ice cream dripping down her hand. She quickly went to lick the mess up before she smiled and tried to recall his question.
"Eh? Oh...my mom is just over there, the red head with glasses reading a book." she indicated with a vague wave over in her mothers direction. She was just glad Chath wasn't here....cause then his dragon would be here...and it seemed every time she tried to make friends or an impression that stupid dragon always stole the show.A

She wasn't very good at giving directions, Reese noted, as he tried to find the woman so mentioned. Upon spotting her, he smiled...and almost waved, but that would have cost him the life of his ice cream...
Hey! "You never tried mine," Reese made a quiet observation, pushing the cone forward. It wasn't fair to only share ((you can shoot me for that)) one way.

Zyanya gave a sly grin as she leaned over to lick to kids ice cream, though instead of the cone she ended up licking off a bit that was dribbling onto his hands. "Silly boy, your going to get all sticky." She said with a smirk, she then took her napkin and wiped the bit that was left on his fingers and then moved to wipe the mess that was on his face.
"Yummy," She replied with a smile and then actually took a tiny bit of his cone with the tip of her tongue. "you picked a good flavor, I am sure you must be good at picking out lots of things.." she continued with a laugh.

(( My brain is going to implode from all the very wrong connotations that should not be associated with these age groups! Bad, Jay, bad!! ))
Reese giggled, feeling Zyan lick his hand instead of the cone."I'm thilly? You licked me!" he snuffed, but sat patiently as she wiped the ice cream from his hands and then his face. Try as he might, there was no getting that last bit at the corner of his mouth before it was gone...taking another lick from his cone once Zyan had her taste.
"Yea! I do lotth of good thingth at home for Poppa and Wilbur...Poppa thayth I'm a good helper." His head nodded slowly, wisely...like Wilbur nodded sometimes. "You're a good helper too, Thee." He added with a genuine smile.
