Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tatsuo blinked his blue green eyes for a moment then nodded, reaching out to take the arm that was offered to him, "Alright, let's go." He murmured to the boy with the red and white streaked hair. He moved to lead the way toward the bench that Cain wanted the two of them to go to. He still wondered why Cain was so worried about his shoes, weren't they meant to get dirty? They were what you used to keep your feet safe from the ground and from the dirt but it seemed as though Cain wanted to protect his shoes too. He should see if he could figure out a way to help Cain to save his shoes he thought to himself as they walked toward the bench.

Turning to look over at Cain as he spoke, thinking it a moment, then gave a little nod, "Within walking distance." He said, "We live in a small house located near the archery range my Daddy works at." He explained, glancing toward another of the benches, the one that was near to the one Cain wanted to go to, where a man with long silver hair was sitting, watching them. He gave a smile before he continued on his way. He couldn't wait to tell his father all about this interesting, dirt hating boy that he had met to make friends with. Cain was another interesting one and it made him wonder what it was that Kiyoshi might think of Cain, hopefully that he was a good, potential friend. He was sure he would see soon enough.

"How about you? Did you walk here with your dog?" He asked, glancing toward the large beast that was still playing cutely with his Clover.

Tatsuo blinked a couple times and then gave a slow shake of his head, not liking the sound of that plan at all. Well maybe the part about ironing his clothing and borrowing some of Cain's fancy clothing would be alright... but the idea of cutting his hair wasn't something that he liked the sound of, "Thank you for the offers but it's alright... I rather like my hair, it's soft and pretty." He said, lifting his free hand to smooth it over the wave green mass of hair, no... he didn't want to have his hair cut off since he rather liked it, "Maybe I can tie it back?" He suggested in a hopeful voice, not wanting to lose his hair or anything like that. Hopefully Cain would find him tying his hair back as a fair enough solution for the problem that was his mop of wavy green hair.

As they reached the bench he stepped back for Cain, giving him a smile, "Alright, we are the bench so that you can sit." He said, then looked at the bench for a moment, thoughtfully, then moved to shrug out of the coat that he was wearing and laid it out on the bench. Looking at it the bench was covered in dirt, leave, the pain was a touch chipped, and otherwise looked like something that someone who hated being messy as much as Cain did would dislike... or hate. Probably hate, it was a mess after all so he highly doubted that he would 'like' it enough that the bench was lucky enough to be disliked instead of hated he thought to himself before he stepped back so that Cain could sit on his coat. He didn't mind, it wasn't so cold that he would freeze without his coat after all and if some dirt transferred from the bench to the coat he would just ask if it could be washed when he got home... not that the dirt bothered him at all, he just felt that if he were going to meet up with Cain again he would likely need a clean coat.

The boy shifted in place waiting to see what Cain did next and then let out a sigh of relief when it seemed that he was going to sit down on the bench now that he had protected him from the dirt through the use of his coat. He had to admit that he was a little happy about it, he had worried that he wouldn't want to sit on his coat for any number of reasons that would be lost on the quieter boy but to his delight that wasn't the case. He gave a bit of a smile, quite happy with the results of the act of giving up his coat for Cain's comfort. It seemed that there was a good reason for it though since Cain suddenly piped up that he didn't have to cut his hair and that he could instead pin it back.

"Thank you." He said, happy that was allowed to keep his hair, then gave a brighter smile at the mention of his eyes, "T-Thank you." He said again, his voice hiccuping a little in excitement over such a nice compliment. It was nice to hear that Cain that he had brilliant eyes, it was all the more reason for him to tie his hair back he thought to himself, lifting one hand up to brush back his wavy hair to tuck what he could of it back... though it all fell forward again due to the lack of ears that young pocky boy's suffered with. It was something that made him eager for the day he grew... well among other things.

The kind words were enough to make Tatsuo a little dizzy, making him look as though he might keel over right then and there. Having a father who was as handsome as Tatsuo's father was he never really felt as though he might be able to step out of his shadow... to hear such nice words from Cain, that he had 'lovely' features even and that he was unique. It made him want to hug the other boy... though he knew he shouldn't do that, what if Cain decided that hugs were terrible and worth negative points? Not something that he wanted to risk... as such he would be careful and keep his hands to himself, "Thank you." He said again, shifting in place.

Turning to look over at Boomer when Cain mentioned that the dog was getting impatient he gave a nod, "Alright, I would hate him to knock you down again." He knew it probably wasn't the dog's fault since Boomer was huge compared to Cain so it was probably easy for him to know the red and white boy down. Even so though he didn't want to see Cain get tipped over again, it would get him even more dirty and that might mean he would never come back here which would be quite a shame.

As he was asked if he would like to come over Tatsuo nodded his head, "I would like that." He murmured, flushing brightly. Wow! Cain really wanted him to come over which meant that he was able to make a friend all on his own! He clasped his hands together happily behind his back before he asked, "Should we go to my Daddy so he can write down my number for you?" He asked of Cain, glancing at the where his father was sitting. It wasn't too far from where the two of them were sitting since he was just on the next bench over, as such he hoped that Cain, as well as Boomer, wouldn't mind over over there.

Tatsuo nodded, glancing over to where Clover was standing before he gave a little whistle at her, "Come on, Clover. Let's go and see Daddy!" He called, causing the Leafeon to give a twitch of her ears before she obeyed the command and when trotting over to the bench that Kiyoshi was located on and hopped onto it, settling down next to the silver haired man. The scaly boy chuckled before he turned to look over at Cain as the boy took his hand, something that surprised Tatsuo as well as made his flush a little darker, "Alright, I will lead." He murmured.

Scooping up his coat with his free hand he led the way the short distance between where they were sitting to where Kiyoshi was sitting, though the man rose to his feet as they approached, and Tatsuo tightened his hand a little on Cain as though afraid he would be bedazzled by Kiyoshi just as Nani and Dinnye had been in the past, "This is my new friend... ahh..." He trailed off when he realized the candy cane colored boy had never told him his name. Oops... He really should have asked, huh? But he'd gotten so distracted by Cain's dislike of dirt and getting dirty as well as the rather... interesting conversation that they'd had since they ran into each other.

Kiyoshi looked between the boys, not exactly sure what he thought of the bossy boy that seemed to leading his son about but decided that he would give him the benefit of the doubt for now, "It's nice to meet your new friend, Tatsuo." He said, giving Cain a smile, "My name is Kiyoshi, and you are?" It seemed that Tatsuo had forgotten to get the boy's name so he would need to do so. It was hard to be friends after all if they didn't know each others names.

Kiyoshi gave a nod of his head, "Alright, that sounds nice." The man said, reaching into the hidden pocket inside the robe he was wearing and took out a pen and paper, writing down Tatsuo's number on it and under the name was their home phone number, "If we aren't in feel free to leave a message." He told the young man that seemed to be clinging to his son at the moment in such a cute, if possessive, sort of way. He held the number out to him, "I am sure that Tatsuo will be looking forward to your call." Kiyoshi was as well, knowing that his son would be excited over the call of his friend, he could just tell from the way that his son's eyes seemed to be shining at the moment.

At the words his father was saying Tatsyo nodded, "I will be." He agreed, already looking forward to the call despite the fact that they hadn't even parted ways yet. He gave a happy sound as he watched the paper with the number get passed from his father's hand to Cain, glad that not only was the paper handed over to Cain but that his friend seemed as though he hadn't been caught under his father's spell yet. Maybe Cain was immune? It would be nice... as much as he loved his father he worried about losing friends to him since he was so kind and beautiful and just plain perfect, "It will be fun to visit your house." It would also be one of the few times he visited someone's house... getting out and about was just not something that Tatsuo did a lot. It would be new for him but he would try his hardest.

As the two kids continued to talk Kiyoshi lifted a hand to scratch the large dog under the chin, never happier then this moment that Clover was so small... even more so compared to this dog. He doubted one like this would fit in their small apartment.

Tatsuo gave a smile, lifting his hand up to wave at Cain as the boy headed on his way with Boomer, "By Cain!" He called, waving rapidly before he turned to look up at his father who was starring down at him in a curious manner, wondering what it was that the red and white boy had done to get his son to open up so much... must be some sort of miracle worker he thought to himself.

"I think that your friend had a good idea, I think that we should get on our way as well." He told his son, holding out a hand to him, which Tatsuo took, then headed on their way with Clover moving to walk at Tatsuo's other side.

It wouldn't take the three of them too long to get home and, much to Kiyoshi's amusement his son had already started to stalk their phone for a call...
