 Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2010 5:50 am
It was another night that Akuja had to quickly step into work to file away some more paper work, and once again Fremere and Seidh had taken to the cemetery with their flashlights to play with the promise of being taken out to eat again. They both liked that a lot, going out to eat with their mother was something they both enjoy. For the time being though…Seidh had lost track of Fremere! They were running around, waving their flashlights and playing…when Fremere suddenly took off saying “Come and catch me!” Then she had lost track of him.
Seidh frowned a bit as she flashed the light in a few different directions, trying to catch a glimpse of bright red-orange hair…
Harry was alone sitting next to a stump of an old tree that had fallen thanks to weather or some other such thing just recently. The grounds keeper hadn't gotten to removing and replanting a new tree yet so Harry just used it as his base of operations for the evening. On his lap he had a book, nearby a small packet of animal crackers for him to munch on, and a flashlight of his own so he could read his book. He pushed up his glasses as they slid down his nose as he read the book that was on his lap. It was something about giving a mouse a cookie...He didn't quite comprehend it all but he had fun learning to figure it out.
Then a flash of light caught his attention. He wasn't hot on light like his sister was but it did speak to Harry of a potential sense of urgency and responsibility. Had someone gotten lost? What if they got attacked? Harry closed up his book and set it aside. As he stood he picked up his flashlight and packet of animal crackers and then began to wander toward the other light, "H-Hello? Cheryl? That you?"
The little girl took slow steps as she moved throughout the rows upon rows of gravestones, now keeping her light directed in front of her to make sure she wouldn’t trip over anything as she walked. It would be horrible if she fell into a hole like Fremere almost did! That would probably make mother fret so much too…
Seidh paused as she heard a voice speak up, once that was new and certainly did not belong to her brother. Cheryl? Was someone else lost too? The voice sounded like it could be someone her age! The little girl stood there for a while longer before softly answering back, “…I am not Cheryl.”
Harry blinked at the response. Nope not Cheryl but the feeling of needing to help her kicked in yet again as he wandered closer toward her quietly with a bit of a concerned expression, "You should be careful, it gets dangerous at night," he cautioned softly. Not that he wanted to scare her or anyone away but he didn't want to see anyone get hurt! Especially if they sounded like they'd be nice like this girl sounded. Once he got closer he could see her a bit better with the light of his flashlight. He was careful not to shine the light in her face like he was told not to by Jack and various other members of his family.
"Are...Are you lost? I can help you?" he offered shyly.
Seidh glanced around, waiting for the owner of this voice to appear, staying where she was until he did. She blinked a bit herself as the boy finally came into sight…a boy who spoke like she did, but was younger than she was! The little girl also didn’t seem put off at all by his appearance and regarded him with a child like curiosity. Dangerous? Here? The most dangerous thing she had run into was a hole, almost.
“…Um…no. I am not lost exactly.” She replied softly. “I got separated from my brother.”
A small furrow appeared at Harry's brow as he listened and then moved closer to her and offered his hand to her, "I'll help. I'll come with just in case there are any live ones out there," he said vaguely. He didn't want to scare her with talks of zombies or what not, at least not straight forward talks about them. He wanted her to be calm, happy, and not be scared of the cemetery all the time despite everything; he just wanted her to be aware of the dangers is all.
"My name is Harry...I..I live here...With my sister and my Daddy and Uncle Stitches..." He murmured softly trying to keep he mind off of the earlier information he imparted to her.
Seidh tilted her head as she continued to watch this little boy who seemed genuinely concerned with another’s wellbeing. Her black gaze turned down to stare at his offered hand for a long moment as her fingers couldn’t help but twitch a bit. This hand wasn’t exactly a certain someone’s hand…but still, it was very nice of this little boy to offer his hand. The little girl blinked at his peculiar wording though. Any live ones out there? Weren’t they live ones?
After a long moment, she finally reached out and grasped two of Harry’s fingers and listened quietly as he introduced himself. Wait…he lived here? In the cemetery? That seemed kind of odd…and with his Daddy and Uncle Stitches? She didn’t recall seeing anyone with stitches, but a while ago she and Fremere did meet that young man in the cemetery some time ago! Maybe that was his daddy? “…I am Seidh.” She replied after another moment. “…Is…your father Anon?”
When she took his hand he offered another smile, an uncertain and shy one, but a smile none the less. Harry seemed a bit of a skittish boy but certainly not afraid of his own shadow. He started to quietly lead her forward with a small cant to his head as he listened to her, "That's a pretty name," he said simply. He certainly never heard anything like it! He liked unique names very much indeed.
Though he did pause a little at her question before he nodded, "Yes, that is my Daddy," he confirmed with a brighter smile. He thought highly of his guardian and it showed in his reaction, "Do you know my Daddy?"
The small girl found herself to be…relaxed in this small boy’s presence. He was like her in a way and that was a nice feeling. Seidh followed after him, and couldn’t help but blush a tiny bit when he complimented her name. “Thank you…” She murmured quietly as she moved along with him.
When Harry answered her question, the girl’s lips parted a bit in an awed expression. That was really interesting! “…When my brother and I were playing here a while ago…we found him digging a hole.”
"Welcome," he replied politely with a small laugh. He walked in a general direction at the moment at least toward where the center of the graveyard was so that way they could pick a way to go from there, if anything he might be able to catch sight of his sister from there it was a decent logic for the boy.
Harry gave a small nod, "That's his job, he digs up the ground so people can bury their dead," he murmured somberly. The boy seemed unbothered by the idea and thought of death - it was a natural aspect of things so why fear it. "Sometimes, though, he has to fight something from coming up from the ground," he said thoughtfully. Why sugarcoat it? Their realm was a dangerous one and it took special people to live in it.
Seidh didn’t have any complaints about where they were going as she followed him and kept an eye out just incase she happened to see a head of fiery red hair.
“Oh…” The girl murmured. She remembered her mother mentioning something about that. They usually had machines that did that, but the night shift in her work would still do it by hand. That seemed very thoughtful to the little girl. Death didn’t bother her either, thanks to having Akuja for a mother. At Harry’s next words, the girl blinked. “…What comes from the ground?” Snakes?"
Harry shook his head as he replied, "No...No snakes...Zombies," he murmured softly as they walked along with her. He looked up at her, "That's why people need to be a bit more careful about when they come in here otherwise they get hurt or worse. I mean tonight is a quiet night but..."
It wasn't always quiet.
"I...I can show you where to run for safety if you ever get caught out here alone," Harry said helpfully so that he didn't frighten his newfound friend off completely. "That way you can be safe by knowing where to go, a..and you'll be helping everyone keep the Zombies under control, too."
Seidh fell silent more so than usual when Harry talked about zombies. What…? Zombies…those undead things that appeared on television, especially around Halloween time? The little girl honestly wasn’t sure what to make of his words, but she didn’t think he would lie to her…
Maybe it was a game he played?
Akuja never said anything about zombies, or else she wouldn’t let Fremere and her play here, that was for sure. The small girl was torn. “…A…alright…” Seidh replied after a bit. She’d…humor Harry. She was still a bit skeptical, but she’d ‘play along’ because the little boy was very nice and sweet.
Luckily he didn't sense that she was only humoring him for the most part. He took her words at face value and smiled happily. Yay he was helping someone! He liked helping it made him happy. He shuffled along until they reached their appointed destination and then stared around the surrounding area thoughtfully.
"Hmmm," he uttered thoughtfully as he tried to decide on a starting point. "Do you think he went back to where you started when he didn't notice you anywhere nearby?" Harry asked curiously.
The small girl was relieved when they strayed away from the subject for now. She…didn’t want to worry more than she already did about Fremere being out and about by himself. Seidh followed along with him until they reached their destination where she then took to looking around again.
“…Possibly.” The girl murmured in return. “…It depends on how far he got before he noticed he lost me.” Because once the boy got excited, it could take some time before he realized that things weren’t going exactly the way he planed.
Harry let out another thoughtful sound for a moment and then started to lead her toward the part of the cemetery his sister often hung out at maybe she had seen him and could point them in the right direction? One could hope.
"Maybe my sister is over here and she can help us," he said as he started to gently pull her along, "I usually find her over here when we get separated." Harry explained with a small shrug, "If she isn't there then I don't know where she is..."
Seidh watched Harry for a moment after scanning what was within her view and coming up with nothing. When he started to move she followed after him again once more. She knew the cemetery was big…but she railed to realize how big it really was.
The small girl looked a bit intrigued when he talked about where his sister was. “Alright…” She murmured, wondering what kind of person his sister was like.
--------------------------
While they were running about the cemetery while mom finished up some more work, Fremere thought it would be fun to play a game of tag. Thus had had shouted at his little sister to chase after him and then he took off because it would have been lame if she caught up to him rather quickly. In his excitement though, the boy had taken off rather far and fast from the little girl, and soon he was running through a part of the cemetery with no girl in pursuit.
After a moment or two the boy finally slowed and looking around, quite puzzled. Where did Seidh go? Wasn’t she right behind him? “Seidh?” He called out.
Cheryl was crouched at a one of the grave markers staring at it curiously. The lettering was pretty interesting and she could almost make out what it said as she hugged Robbie to her side as she tried to figure out what it was trying to say but soon her attempts were foiled when a voice broke through the darkness and thus caught her attention. Glowing eyes peered around from the curtain of her dark hair as she stood up and went toward the voice until she saw the boy.
She stood not far away from him and a small odd smile appeared on her lips as she let out one of her odd little laughs. Suddenly she decided to play with the boy and she turned and retreated away from him.
Fremere flashed his light around, looking for any sign of his quiet little sister but no such luck! Oh dear, this wasn’t good! He was supposed to be a responsible big brother; he couldn’t lose his sister out here in this large cemetery!
The boy frowned for a moment until a girlish laugh caught his attention and his head whipped around to catch the figure of a small girl fleeing from him. Who was that? A new potential friend maybe? It only took a second before Fremere immediately started to pursue the little girl.
When the boy gave chase her smile widened a bit that is until she tripped a bit and lost Robbie. She stopped for a moment and stared back at her fallen companion with dismay and saw the boy coming up behind, certain that he had not seen her yet she ducked behind a large memorial statue of an angelic figure nearby and waited patiently for the boy to run up.
She hoped that he wouldn't take Robbie and hold him for ransom that'd upset her terribly. Cheryl'd have to make it up to Robbie later.
This person was fast and made for a good chase!
Fremere grinned a bit as he continued to pursue the figure, but the boy happened to pause as he suddenly lost her! Darn! What was it with him losing people tonight? The boy looked around, rubbing the back of his neck until he saw something at his feet. Oh! A potential friend! The boy leaned over and picked up the Robbie plush, examining it curiously and not at all put off by the blood on it. This belonged to someone! It needed to be treated with the utmost respect. The boy put his flashlight down for a moment as he then carefully took the plush and tucked it safely into the scarf that looped around his neck. Robbie now looked like those babies in the holders fastened to their mothers.
Satisfied, the boy picked up his flash light and started to shine it around. He was determined to find that figure! “Come out, come out, where ever you are!” The boy sang out merrily.
Cheryl stared from behind her hiding spot and was glad that the boy wasn't doing anything horrible to Robbie, even being nice. Her smile returned a bit as she shifted around the statue after kicking a rock toward the boy to hint him toward her hiding spot. Since she was of a small enough frame she could continue to shift to hide behind the statue until the boy caught up to her.
Thus far she was enjoying the game and even her usual eerie giggles fell out of her lips as she waited to be pursued by this strange boy who seemed unafraid of his surroundings.
Fremere continued to look around with determination and it was the jostled rock and the haunting giggles that keyed him in to a certain spot. The boy’s grin widened as he dashed over to the angelic statue and then started to creep closer to it, trying to be quiet, until he leaped and looked behind it, expecting to find the mysterious person, only to find nothing? Bwah?
The boy started to walk around the statue, as if he was totally missing something because he was.
The small girl kept moving keeping a step behind him at each turn until eventually she stopped running and stopped waiting for him to round the corner again wearing a small smile, as fun as the game was she was ready for Robbie to be in her arms again, they felt empty without him. As soon as the boy became visible to her she'd hold out her arms for her friend.
Til' then she'd wait giggling now and again from anticipation and joy. They'd play another game together as soon as she got Robbie back.
The boy kept circling around the statue, picking up the pace at times and feeling so close yet so far! The giggling was just egging him on too and he was running circles around that statue in determination. His ‘persistence’ soon paid off though, for as he rounded the statue he was greeted by the sight of a small, cute girl who was holding her arms out to him. He knew what that meant!
Fremere’s face absolutely brightened upon seeing Cheryl and the boy grinned as he reached forward and pulled the small girl into a big hug, because that’s obviously what she wanted that’s why she held her arms out. The boy swayed with her a bit, quite ecstatic. “You’re good at this game!” He cheered, “My name is Fremere, what’s yours?” He wasn’t letting go of the girl yet, either.

...That wasn't what she was honestly expecting but it wasn't unpleasant. After a few moments she returned the hug and let him sway with her a bit as she uttered a small giggle as he praised her for being good at the game they had been playing. She liked the boy he was very nice and he played with her and he was currently taking care of Robbie though she still aimed to get her companion back, "My name is Cheryl," she uttered softly, "and you have my Robbie," she added after a moment or two in the hug to subtly hint to him that she'd like her friend back at some point.
Of course if Fremere made a good case of it she might share Robbie for a bit longer.
The boy was enthused that the small girl returned his hug, and he swayed with her for a bit longer before gently releasing her. Fremere was grinning at her happily. “That’s a pretty name for a cute little girl!” He replied cheerfully and then blinked. “Ah! This is Robbie?” He gently removed the plush from his scarf and then presented it to the small girl. “Here you go!” He was all for returning items to their rightful owners, he was just really glad he had picked it up!
She let him keep up the hug and when he released her and gave her Robbie back she latched onto the rabbit and buried her face behind the head of the stuffed rabbit's head. Glowing eyes peeked up at Fremere quietly and she still smiled lightly. He said she was a cute little girl and not a monster! That always gave him a bonus point or two in the girl's books. Cheryl shifted from one foot to the other a bit restlessly as she stared at him, "Were you looking for someone...? I heard you say a name..."
Maybe she could help him if he promised to play another game with her before they start looking...
Was he creeped out by her glowing eyes? Nope! It was just a unique, wonderful feature of his new friend.
He watched her with a smile on his face though it suddenly seemed sheepish when she asked if he was looking for someone. Oh! Seidh, that’s right! “I was looking for my sister…we were playing and game and then we got separated!” Obviously the boy had his priorities straight. First it was games and then it was finding his sister.
She tilted her head, "You have a sister? I have a brother, his name is Harry," she informed quietly willing to point out the similarities between them as if to further cement their friendship. The more information they shared the more they'd be friends, right? Cheryl lapsed into a thoughtful silence for a long moment as she stared up at the boy.
"I help you find your sister if you play a game with me first," she said quietly, "but you pick the game this time, okay?"
Fremere nodded his head enthusiastically when Cheryl questioned him about a sister. “She’s my younger sister!” He seemed happy to hear that the small girl had a brother too and questioned about this Harry. “Is he your older or younger brother?” The boy seemed quite obsessed with siblings to see who was older or younger
Cheryl’s offer seemed pretty reasonable to him! Seidh was probably fine right now anyways. “Okay! Fremere agreed and then looked thoughtful for a long moment. What game could they play…? “…How about tag?” The boy offered.
The small girl seemed thoughtful at the question before she answered, "He's older," with a small nod. Cheryl didn't appear to note an obsession or anything odd about the question, "he's my twin," she added quietly since he was born with her and was within the same 'family' of what she was. She couldn't say much more than that.
When he agreed to play tag with her she smiled happily as she stared unblinkingly at him and then she reached out to touch his hand, "You're it," she murmured before she set Robbie down near the statue where she'd remember him, "you're referee Robbie," she said before she ran off so that she wouldn't be tagged so soon. She had sorter legs than the older boy so it probably wouldn't be long before he caught her.
Oh cool! Harry was just like him then! Awesome! Oh, and they were twins? “That’s awesome!” Fremere replied in his energetic tone. Seidh and he weren’t twins, their items were quite the opposite of each other and it showed in the kids themselves as well.
The boy smiled back at Cheryl as she smiled. “You look really pretty when you smile ~” The boy commented, blinking as she reached out to touch his hand and watched as she put her friend down. The boy was enough of a gentleman to give the small girl a few seconds before he sprung off after her. “I’m gonna get chu!” He sang out to her and ever being creative, zig zagged between gravestones as to not allow himself to catch her too fast and to keep it interesting. The boy did catch up to her eventually and tapped her on the shoulder before he turned around and fled, laughing merrily.
She supposed it was pretty 'awesome' that her brother was older than her but she never thought much on it.
Cheryl didn't appear to catch a hold of the compliment that the older boy showered on her or if she had it didn't show before she ran off so she wouldn't get tagged she skittered carefully in her surroundings easily avoiding most of the dangerous spots where roots were up or the ground had odd holes in it from various events. She didn't gaze behind herself as she heard his voice calling out that he'd get her and suddenly there was a tap on her shoulder and she watched as he fled from her before she chased after him. Her legs were smaller but she tried her best using short cuts and attempting to cut him off here and there until small cold hands touched on his wrist, "Tag," she murmured before she ran off again.
Still being a ‘gentleman’ Fremere didn’t weave too much through the cemetery since his friend was smaller than him and had shorter legs. Didn’t mean he was going to make it totally easy for her though because that wouldn’t have been fun at all! Cheryl’s knowledge of the cemetery proved to be very useful though for it was rather quickly that he was caught. The boy laughed as he was tagged and ran by a tree and swung around it as he catapulted himself to chase after the girl.
“You’re pretty good at this too!” He called out after her as he was closing in on her and soon enough poked her hand. “Tag!” He cheered as he jumped over a tree root and then ran.
She giggled a little when he told her that she was good at the game and then soon she got tagged again. Unlike her newfound friend she didn't quite have the luxury of waiting a moment she had to start turning and going after him straight away.
Cheryl reached her target once more but she was starting to actually slow down and breathe a little fast, she probably wouldn't last too much longer since she lacked a lot of stamina that her friend had. In fact she was also getting a bit hungry as well. Still she chased after him determinedly to see if she could catch him just once more. A small hand reached out to tag her friend but she tripped and toppled to her knees. Thankfully the ground was soft and there was no injury as she just flopped over panting.
Fremere ran, weaving a bit like before, though this time he would look over this shoulder to see how his friend was fairing. His brows furrowed a bit in concern as it was becoming apparent that she was slowing down, and he was about to slow down as well to let her catch him when she suddenly tripped and topped to her knees. The boy skidded to a stop, quite concerned for his friend as he ran back over to the flopped over girl and kneeled next to her.
The boy then reached and grasped the girl by her upper torso and lifted her up a bit as he then cradled her against him, one arm supporting her while the other reached to grasp and hold onto one of her hands. “Are you okay!?” The boy questioned worriedly, obviously very concerned about her welfare.
It was odd finding herself pretty much cradled by someone that wasn't Daddy or someone else in her family and having someone gaze at her with so much concern. She actually blinked up at him and stared with her lips parting a little in awe at the fact that he seemed to care for her so much. She soon shifted and hugged onto him. "I'm okay," she murmured softly.
It seemed she had found someone new to put up on a pedestal, one right next to Daddy's.
The small girl was now currently latched to Fremere whether he liked it or not.
Fremere continued to stare down at her worriedly, his bright orange eyes looking her over for any kind of boo boos she may have gotten possibly. As soon as she shifted and hugged onto him though and announced that she was alright did the boy seemed relieved as he moved to eagerly return the hug. “Oh good! I’m so glad! You should have said something if you were getting tired! I wouldn’t have cared, just as long as you’re alright!”
The boy didn’t seem in a hurry to stop her from latching, but after a moment he did say. “Let’s go get Robbie, we don’t want him to sit there all by himself!”
Fremere returning the hug just seemed to add a few levels of height to his pedestal, "Sorry. I was just wanted to keep playing," she murmured softly and then nodded a bit at his words. Yes it would be a shame to leave Robbie all by himself, he was probably lonely by now. She quietly moved to crawl off of Fremere so she could stand on her own.
"Thank you," she said after a moment. After all he checked on her and was very considerate. She would like to tell Daddy about her new friend, surely Daddy would also think Fremere is a wonderful being.
“Aw that’s alright!” Fremere replied. “I promise I’ll come back to visit a lot and then we can play some more!” That sounded like a very good plan to him! Couldn’t have his friend hurt herself by trying to play all at once now. When the girl moved to crawl off of him he released her, but she really didn’t escape him for too long, since as soon as he stood, he grasped Cheryl’s hand. “You’re welcome! Let’s go get Robbie now!”
The boy then started to lead her back to where the rabbit plush was set down.
"You better," she replied to his promise. She would seriously hold him to this promise and be severely disappointed if he didn't come around every once in a while to play with her or at least keep her company. Cheryl liked the boy he was very friendly and happy to be around and took her hand which made her stare at it and smile before she gazed up at him and nodded gently swinging their joined hands she followed him to where they had left Robbie.
"There he is," she murmured soon as she saw the bloodied plush toy where she had left it. Cheryl even pointed at it with her free hand just in case Fremere missed it.
“I will!” Fremere replied happily. Of course he would never ever break a promise to a friend! With mom having to come into work every now and then to do something like file papers, there would be plenty of chances for more play times with Cheryl. He grinned down at her when she smiled up at him and gladly swung their joined hands with her as they back tracked through the cemetery.
“Yay! There he is!” Fremere echoed as the boy leaned to pick it up and then offer it to Cheryl.
---
Seidh kept glancing around as she followed along with Harry and it wasn’t too long until she spotted a bright head of hair. “…There he is.” She murmured with a bit of relief to the small boy.
Cheryl nodded at the word of his promise, it was good enough for her and she didn't see a need to pursue it further. When they reached the bunny and it was offered to her by the boy she took it into her arms and nuzzled the side of its face happily, "Thank you," uttered quite happily at least someone knew how to treat Robbie with the dignity he deserved.
Harry was walking with Seidh as he gazed around every now and again he'd utter a name or two before he heard the girl speak up and looked to where she was looking and then next to him he saw Cheryl, "And he's with my sister," he said happily as he hurried his steps toward him as best as he could. "Cheryl, Cheryl~, we found you."
The small girl blinked up over at her brother, "Harry..."
Fremere watched Cheryl take Robbie back and smiled widely. “You’re welcome!” The boy’s attention was soon diverted though upon the arrival of what appeared to be Cheryl’s brother and oh! What luck! His littler sister! “There you are, Seidh!” The boy called out cheerfully, still swinging his and Cheryl’s joined hands. He then turned his attention to Harry. “Hi! I’m Fremere! You must be Harry! It’s nice to the meet you!” The boy then grinned happily at the other boy, while Seidh glanced over at Cheryl curiously.
That was his sister…she was like their father! Something hiding their eyes… “Hello.” The girl called out softly to the other girl.
Harry gave Fremere a small smile and nodded, "Pleased to meet you. I...I see you met my sister." He looked up at Seidh and pointed at his sister, "That is Cheryl," he said cheerfully enough. He was always glad to be with his sister again even if she seemed to slip away from him sometimes but that was alright. As long as he found her.
The smaller girl nodded as she looked over at Seidh, "Hello," she replied as she stared at the older girl, she enjoyed the eyes quite a bit they were strange and somewhat unlike some eyes she'd seen thus far though what caught her attention most of all was the fact that her hair was a lovely shade of lavender and long! She stared with a bit of admiration, "I like your hair..."
“Yep!” Fremere agreed happily. He had done more than meet his sister, they played tag, hugged and held hands! Seidh gave a small nod in reply to Harry’s words and after a moment released her hold on his fingers as she smiled a bit. “Thank you for your help.” She was really grateful for it. Who knew how much longer she would have spent wandering around looking for him…
At Cheryl’s compliment, the girl blinked a bit before blushing slightly. “Thank you…” She replied. “…I like the way your hair looks.” She found the girl’s bob to be very cute!
Fremere grinned as everyone seemed to be getting along but the expression fell into a curious one as he heard mom calling out for Seidh and him. “…Uh oh…! We have to go now…” Fremere’s expression fell into one of disappointment now. Oh how he hated leaving new friends! He turned to look back at Cheryl. “I really enjoyed our games, they were fun!”
"Welcome," Harry replied as he let his hand drop and simply watched Fremere and Cheryl for a long moment before he quietly moved to stand near his sister. At least Seidh didn't do anything that made him nervous otherwise he'd have literally been a bloody mess by now. "We were looking everywhere for you guys," Harry said with a bit of exaggeration.
Cheryl smiled her odd little smile at Seidh and nodded a bit, "Thank you..." then held up her plush, "Robbie says you're pretty too," she murmured quietly. The small girl frowned a bit when it seemed time for Seidh and Fremere to go from what the boy said, "Not fair," she sulked softly but still she'd let him and Seidh go ... for now.
Harry nodded a bit, "We'll see them again, thank you for visiting with us."
Seidh would agree with Harry, even if it was a bit of an exaggeration.
The girl didn’t seem put off by Robbie much like her brother, because she understood the love kids’ had for their plushes, no matter what they looked like. She blushed a bit more when Robbie ‘commented’ too. “Thank you, Robbie.” She replied softly, ever the polite one. She tilted her head curiously as well when she heard them being called. Uh oh, they were out here for too long! “Good bye.” The girl said to Harry and Cheryl, “It was nice meeting you both, have a good night.”
“I’ll be back soon!” Fremere said to Cheryl as he swung their hands one more before letting hers go, not before leaning and giving a light kiss to the girl’s forehead. He then rushed over to Harry and gave him a big hug before running back over to Seidh and grabbing her hand. He turned one last time to the two graveyard siblings, giving an energetic wave before he started to run off to the parking lot where their mother was waiting, this time with his sister securely in tow.
Cheryl's eyes widened a bit as Fremere leaned and kissed her forehead. A small bit of color crept over to her usually pale face and she gave a small smile and nodded, "Okay," she replied now much happier about the prospect of her newfound friend leaving her. Harry uttered a small surprised sound at the hug but returned it after a moment. Cheryl lifted up a hand and waved to him and his sister while Harry did the same.
Harry called out a cautionary, "Be safe," as he would often due for friends since he obviously would mourn if a zombie suddenly popped up and devoured them.
Seidh looked back over her shoulder and waggled her fingers at the twins before they disappeared out of sight. They were really nice, a thought both of the siblings shared. Soon enough they safely (and zombie free) arrived in the parking lot where Akuja was waiting near her car. “There you two are.” She said, sounding a bit relieved. “What were you two doing out there?”
“Playing with out new friends!” Fremere answered cheerfully as he opened the car door and climbed into his booster seat, which his sister repeated the action on the other side. Akuja climbed into the driver’s seat as she started up the car and turned on the headlights. “I see…” Man, those kids had good imaginations she thought.
