Anox listened carefully to the lady and nodded, holding his basket close as he walked off, he didn't even notice Aderyn, as he was too busy looking in the grass. Maybe Gio would want the eggs... Yeah! He should find lots of eggs for Gio, it was only fair 'cause he found him a neat ring.
He was startled out of his planning by a voice, and he looks up to see Keiran. "Uh... Yeah, i jus' got here..." he mumbles, looking a bit nervous, "Hi, my name is Anox, an' i don't like hugs." he adds, a little stiffly, as though it was something he had rehearsed several times.

Keiran blinked a few times at Anox's introduction. He wasn't quite sure what to make of someone suddenly announcing they didn't like hugs. "Well my name's Keiran. You can call me Kei though, if you wan'." he gave Anox a friendly smile. "Oh, an' I don' like colors that are yucky together." He figured since Anox told him something he didn't like, he should do the same in return. He gave a little satisfied nod to himself for thinking of something to say and then held up an egg for Anox to see. "They look like this, only lots of colors. Wanna look together?"

"Ah, thanks again." Aderyn said softly to the other woman, though she smiled when she saw Anox walking over and asking for a basket. The fact that the very shy redheaded boy was present meant that Theo was around, which she hadn't been expecting. Looking about the field, she soon spotted the green haired man under the tree, which Aderyn soon walked over and sat down next to him with her usual smile.
"Not going to head to the Gym?"
Having noticed that someone was running towards him, Givoanni tried his best to slow down, but his legs had refused to stop or even slow! Yelping as he ran right into Cecil, though he quickly tried to get untangled. "Sorry! I tired to stop.." He said as he helped the other up, looking frightened and hoping that he didn't hurt the kid.

Anox blinks several times at the egg, chewing on his lip. "A-Are there any that are shiny?" he asks softly, nodding after the request to search together, four eyes were better than two after all. "There are lots of eggs, right Kei?" he asks softly, ducking his head again cutely.
Theo smiles up at her, closing his book and shaking his head, "No... I need to stay here for Anox, he gets so nervous around so many people... I'm surprised he is even talking to that other little boy." he chuckles, "I would have thought he would make a b-line straight for Gio."

Cecil lay on the ground dazed, feeling someone helping him up; he snapped out of it and grinned at Giovanni. "I sorry I runned into you" Cecil said "I sawed you running and I wanted to play too so I came over. So wanna play? I like this egg thing 'cept you shuden't eat the eggie things 'cause some of them are meanies and attack you with sparkles and paper bits. See?" With that Cecil opened his mouth to reveal glittery teeth. "So wanna play with me? Huh?" He looked at Giovanni expectantly and hopped from one foot to the other excitedly.

Kei thought a moment. He thought that maybe he had seen one or two shiny ones in Gavin's basket. "Think so. An' well, some of then have glitter in them. Glitter is shiny." He smiled again at Anox saying he'd search with him. "There are lots of eggs. Just as long as stupid brother doesn't take all." he glared off in Gavin's direction. Kei turned his attention back to Anox. "But dun' worry about him."

Aderyn frowned a little, wondering if her friends son would ever be able to be around people without the need of being near or knowing someone else there. "Maybe hes actually trying to make friends?" She suggested with a shrug before standing back up again, "I'm going to go to the Gym, I sorta want to meet some of the other parents. Want me to put in a good word or two for you?" Aderyn laughs with a soft smile as she looks down at Theo.
The blue haired boy blinked, surprised that the other didn't seem to be upset at the fact he had been trampled, though that was a relief for him. Giovanni smiled a little, having been told by his momma that the eggs were probably plastic so he shouldn't try eating them, though he nodded at the boys question. "Sure!" he nodded. As he looked around the field, a bright red mop of hair got his attention.
Grinning, he grabbed Cecils arm, "I want you to meet my best friend first! Maybe he wants to play too!"

"Good, 'cause i wanna find shiney ones for my friend... " he smiles, looking around in the grass, he looks up though at the mention of someone taking them all, "That would be mean! Papa says that everyone should share..." he frowns cutely.
He nods and laughs softly, "If you would be so kind... Though i might head over there in a little while, Anox seems to be getting along fairly well with the other children." He smiles, "I want to be sure he will be alright before i sneak away."

Just as Sorrel was, Adeline wasn't accustomed to the behavior of toddlers either - much less a hellraiser like hers - but she seemed to be reacting the same way to the behavior. She could not have rolled her eyes any harder to the side without physically knocking someone over. Smoothing her dress down with a brief fidget of her free hand, she shook her head as well.
"He doesn't listen to anyone, he's a big jerk. I don't know where we found him, but he's not like other little brothers."
She came to a stop when Sorrel set off the alarm, instinctively blurting out, "Where?" before she even had the time to point. And it was a whole pile of eggs, how weird was that? A small grin came to her face as well as she trotted toward them, trying to make as little commotion as possible.
But she didn't try hard enough, because sure enough, when Theo realized he no longer had the girls' full attention, he stopped and turned around expectantly. They were walking away from him - but that wasn't allowed! He knew better. Three waddled steps forward and suddenly the pixie knew what he was missing, and he took off running after the eggs at full toddler speed, the lone plastic container clattering in his basket as he bounced along.
"NO! I SAW-THEM!"

Sorrel had thought that she and Adeline had been pretty discreet about going to pick up that pile of plastic eggs. Unfortunately for them, it seemed Theo was very, very good at knowing when people were paying attention to him.
The blue-haired girl was just reaching the eggs when she heard Theo yelling; her head jerked up to look at him, the surprise on her face quickly morphing into an expression of dismay. She had barely known the toddler five minutes, but she already knew that there was going to be no way of stopping him now that he had seen the eggs. However, that didn't mean she couldn't try - the eggs were, after all, rightfully the girls'.
"You can't just take them! We found them first." As she spoke, Sorrel quickly knelt down and scooped the eggs into her basket. She was ready to bargain with him, but if she didn't take them first, he would likely take them all for himself and run off. "But we'll share them with you if you say please." She sounded uncertain and looked somewhat anxious, having no idea how he was going to react to the proposal.

"Tha's what Mommy says too. To always share. I like to, but I guess Gavin doesn't." Kei frowned thinking about Gavin being so mean to him again but then he brightened. "Well I dun really care if my eggs are shiny. So you can have any shiny ones we find." He grinned at Anox and then turned his attention back to the grass. "Who's your friend?" he decided to ask.

Cecil laughed and followed after Giovanni. "I'm Cecil! I like purple! and I like mud, and swimming, and eating stuff, and I like animals and I like my daddy. Who are you?" Cecil asked as they made their way over to the red-headed boy.

"NO."
Adeline hadn't even realized she snapped the word out before she went running toward the brightly colored prizes, standing with her arms out to block just as Theo's pace ended right in front of her. A pout-to-end-all-pouts was pushing the little boy's lip forward, but he was given the response of a defiantly upturned nose and exasperated 'huff' from his sister. He'd get no pity from her. She sidestepped him when he tried to get around; once, and then again, until he whined angrily at her.
"Go find your own, Theo! You can't just - what?"
Both siblings stared at Sorrel with equally stupefied expressions, because neither of them would've offered such a simple and kind way to settle the dispute. For them, there would have been a winner, and a loser. No 'please's' or 'thank you's' involved. However, while Adeline's expression remained stunned, Theodore's turned sickeningly sweet as his eyes never once left the eggs in Sorrel's basket.
"Pleeeeeease?"
He waited, expectant and staring. Staring. He probably waited all of a second and a half before reaching up and snatching the side of her basket, whining something that sounded like, "Gimme!"

Aderyn smiled again, reaching down and ruffling her friends green hair, really wanting to stay ther with him but she knew it'd probably be best if she went to the gym to talk to the other parents. "I'll be back in an hour or so..maybe longer if something interesting pops up." She chuckles before walking off, looking back only to wave.
"I'm Giovanni and I like shiny things." He laughed a little before he and Cecil reached Anox and Keo. "Annieee!" Giovanni chirped, using the pet name he had given to his friend the day they had met.

Sorrel stared back at the two of them. She started to fidget uncomfortably. "What? Did I say something wrong?" However, before her question could be answered, Theo said 'please' - and then promptly snatched at the basket.
"Hey! Let go!" she yelped in alarm, not having expected that despite how he had been acting the entire time. Reflexively the blue-haired girl tugged her basket in the opposite direction. But as she pulled, the eggs rolled to the edge of the basket. For a moment they balanced dangerously close to the edge. An expression of horror spread over Sorrel's face as she watched, seemingly in slow motion, as the plastic capsules tipped over and spilled onto Theo's head.
"Adeline!" Sorrel dropped to her knees and tried to recover as many of the eggs as she could, hoping the other girl would help her, not wanting the toddler to steal them all. Even if they were going to share, they still had already found them first.
