I say kid because Mal is sometimes too naiive, childlike, you know? XD But then again I suppose so is Pi so it's all alright! Haha =D Malvolio stood in a clearing, taking deep breaths and trying to prepare himself. On the count of three, he thought to himself, One... Two... Three!. With that he launched himself forward curling into a ball and attempted a summersault. Unfortunetely Mal was not as flexible as he would have liked and ended up uncurling from the position, only to tumble right into a rock. "Ouch!" Mal yelled, more out of surprise than pain. He pulled himself to his feet as quickly as possible, only to fall back down again on jello-like legs. He rubbed his head as he waited for his vision to clear. "How does she do it?" He voiced outloud.

Pierrot sat on a tree branch, hidden by foliage. She held back a giggle as she watched Malvolio try- and fail- to perform a somersault. He was entirely off-balance...curling into a ball instead of rolling gracefully through the air. Far from graceful.
She sprang down, landing on her forepaws and rolling herself forward so as not to injure herself as she alit upon the grass. She rolled forward, uncurling just as she reached Malvolio's feet. "Good evening!" She sang out, folding herself forward into a bow. "Wha are you doing...Malvolio, yes?"

Mal jumped in surprise at the sudded appearance of Pierrot. He stumbled backwards, tripped up over his feet, and ended back down on his bottom again. Taking a deep breath to calm his racing heart, Malvolio gave Pierrot a smile. "Malvolio," He nodded in confermation, "Or Mal." Glancing around at the clearing, and wincing as his eyes met a tree, Malvolio said, "Well... I was trying to do a summersault. It looked easy enough but... the tree jumped in my way." He shot her a sheepish smile, hoping his red fur would hide his embarassment in knowing she had seen his accident. "And um... what are you doing,... Pierrot? "

Pi circled Mal, then sank back onto her haunches. "Me? I am doing nothing." She shrugged and tugged at one of the balls on the front of her top. "I was just leaping about between the trees, wondering if I was all alone." She looked up and saw a few crescent moons of sky peeping through the green foliage of the tree branches.

Malvolio glanced up at the tree branches and gave Pi a wide eyed look of amazement. "Those branches are pretty thin, you must be pretty quick and light." After the word had left his mouth, Mal suddenly recalled something Thoro had told him on one of his many laments. Never comment on a girl's size or weight. Ever. He hadn't thought too much of it then but... Mal carefully tried to judge Pi's reaction. He adjusted himself into a more comfortable sitting position, hoping he hadn't offended her. "Well," Mal glanced around, "we're certainly alone." He smiled, the thought that the statement could be taken the wrong way never crossing his mind.

Pierrot giggled. "Of course I'm light! How else could I..." She broke into song: "With the greatest of ease, fly through the air on a flying trapeze..." She trailed off, wondering why Mal looked suddenly as though he would have preffered to take back his words. "Is...something wrong?" She looked down at her top, hoping there were no grass stains from tumbling. Looking up again, she nodded. "Yes...we are rather alone. What do you want to do?"

"Thats a nice song," Mal laughed. "Reminds me of the circus!" He grinned. That same smile slowly slipped off his face as Pi stopped singing and asked her question. "Well," Mal shifted anxiously, trying to avoid her eyes, "My...friend, Thoro, he told me never to ever say anything about a girl's weight. I don't know why, but... he wouldn't lie to me. I don't think..." He glanced upwards sheepishly and noticed Pi scrutinizing her shirt. Finally, something clicked... "No! It's not you!" Mal laughed nervously, "It was me that was wrong!" Blushing furiously, he tried to change the subject, "Um... I don't know... I do suppose I'd like to know how to tumble the right way." As an afterthought, he mumbled, "And not run into trees."

Pierrot turned to Mal and blinked twice, slowly. "It is about the circus, silly." She giggled at the expression that comment put on his face. "Still, I don;t mind if you say anything about my weight...as long as you don't compare me to a Beluga or anything." She looked off into the distance again. She wondered whether or not Belugas existed. Unicorns, she had seen, but Belugas she had not. Huh...it was rather distracting for her eccentric brain. She slowly returned to their conversation.
"Y...you want me to teach you to tumble? Well...this is obviously the wrong place for that. Too many trees, you know." Pierrot began to walk away, then turned back and beckoned for Mal to follow, a grin plastered on her face.
((Its a real song too, XD.

Malvolio laughed, "That does explain it then." He paused a moment, "I don't think I've ever been to the circus..." A look of confusion passed over his face, "I wonder why Thoro would have said that then... maybe because he's not a very happy namir..." Mal shrugged and grinned, "Okay then! I will not compare you to a monsterously large whale!" Mal lauhged at the silly notion of the imaginary animal. Of course, he hadn't ever been scuba diving... so he wouldn't know if the whale existed. So maybe whales were real, but they were supposed to be humungous... The thoughts chasing around sent his head reeling, as if he had been tumbling unsuccessfully again. Blinking the thoughts away, his mind refocused. In his momentary mental lapse, Pi had begun to move away through the forest. He jumped to his feet and padded after her. "Wait for me!" Mal laughed.

Pierrot continued to lead Malvolio between the trees, weaving around and between them even though she could easily have traveled in a straight line. She looked back to see Mal faithfully following in her footsteps...just in time to run into a tree. With a loud crack, Pierrot fell to the ground. "Eugh..." she moaned as she struggled to sit up. "M...my..." She let herself collapse back against the grass, hurting the back of her head along with the front.

Malvolio attempted to follow Pierrot's path exactly, tripping occassionally on roots protruding the ground. He was dumbfounded at the ease which Pi carried herself and attempted to mimic her careful yet swift steps. When she turned to look back at him, he couldn't help shooting her a grin. It was then the crack split his ears. He saw Pi fall to the ground as he felt his heart jump in his chest. "Pi!" Mal yelled, racing to her side. He looked frantically around for help, but they were secluded in the forest. Suddenly, his helpless expression hardned as he took it upon himself to aid her. "Pi, talk to me," He ordered, "I'm pretty sure it's not a good idea to fall unconscious." Stooping down, Malvolio maneuvered Pi into a sitting position against the same tree that had caused the damage. "I know I heard somewhere you want to keep the wound elevated," Mal gulped. He leaned close to her, examining her wound for blood. "Pi, are you there? Pi, can you hear me?"

Pierrot moaned as she opened her eyes. She felt dizzy and she could feel a lump...maybe even two...growing on her head. "Yes, Mal...I hear you." She put her paw to her head, then yanked it away when she brushed the bruised place. "Ow...I really did hit it hard..." She looked up at Malvolio, who still knelt over her, and grinned. "Don't worry. I had worse learning to do somersaults in midair."
