Kiyoshi found himself wanting to see about doing more sports, would he be able to be on more then one team though? Or should he see about doing like what Lyell did? Playing various other sports in his down time when he couldn't do archery. Either way was completely fine if you asked him so long as he got to be active then he was happy, "I need to see about getting to the store to get some stuff I can play at home."
The boy would have clapped his hands if they were holding onto the swing chains as Lyell agreed to them playing a game together. He couldn't wait as he knew that it would be a lot of fun, "Cool, I am up for trying anything. What do you think about meeting maybe meeting back here?" He asked, hopping out of the swing again.
"I have some paper and a pen with me in my stuff." He told Lyell, "I can give you my number so we can talk and plan!"

Lyell smiled as he listened to Kiyoshi. Mari had always told him that helping others felt good... and he wondered if this counted. It wasn't much, but just the idea that he had given the other some inspiration that made him so happy and excited was... well... nice. It certainly was a good feeling, if this was it.
Sliding off of his own swing shortly after Kiyoshi, that smile broke into a broad grin as he nodded eagerly. "Sounds good to me!" he assured with a nod. It wasn't like they had to STAY by the swings, and they both knew exactly where 'here' was, as opposed to 'at the soccer field'.
As he spoke with and listened to Kiyoshi, Lyell felt his own excitement rising. He had a friend, after all, and they were going to meet again sometime to play together some more!

Kiyoshi nodded before he trotted over to where he'd left his things folded up on the nearby bench and went digging through the pockets of his archery outfit and then gave a pleased sound as he took out his paper and pencil. He quickly wrote down the information. There was a smile on the milk pocky boy's lips as he returned to where Lyell was standing, "Here you go." He said, holding it out to him. After a moment of thought he also held out the paper and pencil to Lyell so that the boy could write down his own information for Kiyoshi.
"The first number is for my house, the second one is for the place that my parents work since we are there a lot." He explained to his friend about why there were two numbers on the paper.

"Thanks." Lyell gave a look over the information as the paper was given to him. Nodding in acknowledgement of the explanations Kiyoshi gave, he committed the facts to memory before folding the paper. It was only a few moments before it was tucked neatly away into a pouch at Lyell's side, leaving the boy's hands free to take the offered paper and pencil so he could share his own information.
There were a few brief moments where he tapped the pencil upon the paper in thought. When it came to him, he wrote down his own number. Hey, it wasn't like he ever called himself, so recalling the house number wasn't as big a priority for him as recalling the number to Mari's cell phone.

Kiyoshi was smiling as though Lyell were gifting him with the greatest treasures in Gaia instead of merely his information. The boy was rather delighted each time he made a friend, enjoyed the meetings, and couldn't help but be excited over it. He took the paper when Lyell was done with it and carefully tucked it away where it would be safe, "Thank you, so much." He murmured in a happy manner before he looked toward the parking lot.
He looked slightly disappointed as the car belonging to his Daddy arrived and he looked over to Lyell for a moment, "That is my Daddy's car." He told him before giving a little sigh, "I don't want to leave yet." He was having far to much fun playing with Lyell!
"When he comes over I will see if we can stay a little longer, at least until your ride arrives." He told his friend, not wanting to leave him all alone as Kiyoshi knew how boring that could be.

"No, thank you," he insisted softly.
Lyell's gaze followed Kiyoshi's when the older boy's expression suddenly fell, and he blinked in observation of the new car now in the lot. His eyes shifted back to Kiyoshi when he spoke. The reason for his disappointment at the sight given, Lyell nodded in agreement. Well, that was a feeling he could understand perfectly.
Rocking on his feet, he was more than willing to agree with Kiyoshi's suggestion of how they could extend their current time for perhaps at least a little longer. "That would be nice." He wouldn't have to wait by himself either, and it was always a perk to have someone else around.

The giant of a man that was Baldric started across the parking lot and into the the park where he normally picked up his boy. He gave a bit of a smile as he spotting him standing there talking with a newly made friend. That was a good thing, he was doing far better with the making of friends then his older sister was. She was far to quiet for her own good, far to antisocial always seeming happier to sit around drawing then worrying about making friends with those her own age. To find that Kiyoshi was more social was a nice discovery, "Afternoon." He greeted them when he got close enough.
Kiyoshi turned to look up, up, up at the man who was brushing seven foot tall and gave him a grin, "Hello Daddy! This is my new friend, his name is Lyell. Lyell this is my Daddy." He said as he turned to look between the pair, "His name is Baldric."
Once they were properly introduced the silver haired boy turned to look up to his father, "Can we hang out a little longer? Just until Lyell's ride gets here so he doesn't have to be alone?"
The man gave a nod of his head before he lowered himself down to the bench where Kiyoshi had all of his things waiting, "Sure, I don't see why not though lets hope we are late getting home. You know how Hari can be when we are late to dinner." The man was a bit high strung at times but he meant well.

Lyell blinked up at the older (and much taller!) man who'd left the car. He certainly was a lot taller than Mari... though this wasn't saying much. Regardless, Lyell was certain he'd never seen anyone quite so tall, though some may have come close. He nodded softly during the introductions, mentally connecting the name Baldric with both the large man and the title of Kiyoshi's "Daddy".
At the 'blessing' that Kiyoshi need not leave immediately, Lyell was quite relieved. Waiting alone sucked. It was boring, lonely, and most of all, made the wait seem so much longer. However, this 'blessing' was short lived, as only a few minutes later did another vehicle arrive in the sparsely populated parking lot. Lyell could only hope it wasn't Mari for so long, but it was hard to deny the idea when the female slid herself from the car. Lyell doubted it was a doppelganger, and Mari didn't have any siblings, so it couldn't be a twin sister he'd never met.
Leaning back against the car, Mari only started toward the group when a half-wave to Lyell was greeted with a shake of the child's head. Oh no, he was expecting her to come to him.

Baldric looked over at Kiyoshi's new friend for a long moment before he saw that he was looking toward the parking lot. He turned his gaze in that manner before asking, "Your Mom?" He rose to his feet when the woman started toward them, giving them a wave. He smiled and waved back at her before he reached down to gather up all of Kiyoshi's archery equipment, "Alright, let's walk your friend over to his mother and then we will head for home."
Kiyoshi gave a little pout before nodding his head, "Can we play again soon, Daddy?" He asked, hurrying over to catch hold of his father's arm and as per the rules of the 'game' the man lifted his arm up so that Kiyoshi could hang off of it.
"I don't see why not, you give him our numbers?" Baldric asked of his son.
Kiyoshi nodded rapidly, "Yep! I got his information too." He shifted so he was hanging by one arm so he could wave at Mari with the other, "Hello!" He greeted her as their group closed the distance between them and her.

Heading over with Baldric and Kiyoshi to where his mother was coming from, Lyell had no qualms about taking and holding her hand, even if he was in front of a new friend. Leaning against the woman, his words were a short flurry of explanation: a new friend, his own father, how they'd met, how he wanted to meet up with Kiyoshi again.
Of course Mari had no complaints to any of this. She didn't get ill feelings from either if the other two, and it was nice for Lyell to have a friend who was his age. Besides, though she would never say it aloud, having a playmate would keep the young boy out of her hair for a while. She offered a friendly smile to the young child and his caretaker, returning the greeting. "Hello yourself." She tilted her head, a playful smile touching her lips. It wasn't like she couldn't hear snippets of the conversation as they both drew closer. "Have you been keeping my Lyell out of trouble?"
Of course, Kiyoshi HAD, in a sense. He'd gotten Lyell out of that tree, after all. Of course, Lyell answered the teasing question by sticking his tongue out at his mother.

Kiyoshi gave a soft laugh and shook his head, "There was no trouble at all." He assured her, after all they had a lot of fun talking and playing, something that he looked forward to doing again with the other boy. As often as was waiting at this park after practice it had been nice to have someone to talk to, even more so to have someone to talk to that was as interesting as Lyell, "It was a lot of fun getting to play with him."
Baldric couldn't help but give a smile as his son spoke, he was such a well behaved if rather active child. Like night and day when compared to his older sister. He lowered his arm down so that the boy's feet touched the ground once more, "I know its no fun but your going to need to tell your friend 'bye' for now, Kiyoshi."
The boy starred up at his Daddy for a long moment with wide, silver eyes as though hoping to mesmerize him into allowing him to stay a while longer. When it seemed not to work in the least bit he turned to look over at Lyell again giving him a smile, "It was nice getting to hang out with you." He said before looking up at Mari, "And nice meeting you."

Lyell smiled, fingers loosening their hold on Mari's hand. Though saying good-bye now wasn't very high up on his list of things to do, the boy knew that it was inevitable. The consolation was in the fact that they were already beginning to make plans to meet up again. This could be considered a 'good thing' and thus made saying good-bye a little less saddening.
"Mmhm. And I hope we can play again real soon!" he chimed, both eager for and anticipating such a time.
Mari took her hand from Lyell, ruffling the boy's hair absently. "Take care, you two," she offered easily, reaching that final conclusion that the pair at least appeared to be good people. Also, the other boy seemed to give her the same feeling Lyell had.

Kiyoshio waved his hand rapidly at the pair before they started toward the car. It was time for them to go, to head out though he was excited to get to see Lyell again. He had had been so much fun to hang out with a talk with, he wanted to play with him more!
He was scooped up by his Daddy, leaning against him while the man moved to the car, putting his son in the car first along with the archery equipment before they were heading off. It was time for them to go home though Kiyoshi remained stuck to the window of the car until they were to far from the park to be able to see his friend.

Settled down in the car once Mari had opened the door for him. He remained like Kiyoshi, all but stuck to the window as Mari settled into the driver's seat and set to bringing them home. When he'd eventually lost sight of the other vehicle, the boy plopped down in his seat and, once settled, launched into a chattering tale of his day and the boy he'd met.
