The small family had made today their official "day out," and said day out was to be spent at the local park. His brother's loved the park, and to an extent so did he, however, Fawkes wasn't really in the mood for playing today. An odd sight to be seen.
As they arrived at the park his brothers had taken off in different directions of the park, basically making it impossible for Fawkes to find a quiet spot on any of the play sets. He huffed slightly as his hand absentmindedly went up to pet Rouge's head, scratching behind her pointy ears. The fox's head had become more of a worry stone for the boy, but the fox hardly minded.
< What's wrong?> She purred gently into his mind.
He shrugged and started walking towards what he figured to be a pond, only barely acknowledging his mother's calls of being careful as she sat on a bench close by.
" In a mood I guess."
< Like that's anything new.>

How long had it been since Elias was last at the park? While he had enjoyed his visit to Silar, he was far more at home here in Gaia. After all, he emerged in Gaia, so it was only natural he felt an affinity for this world. He was being cooperative today, quietly letting his aunt Huni put him in his stroller (he had learned that being in a stroller wasn't so bad).
Uninhabited toddled after them, managing to keep up despite her awkward gaits. The daemon chirped and squawked in delight and excitement. Parky parky parky~ she chirped to Elias.
They arrived at the park not long after leaving their home. At first Elias wanted to go to the sandbox, he had met Fray there and hoped he'd meet the other boy again. But upon seeing only unfamiliar faces, Elias squirmed that Huni take them towards a more secluded and quiet area of the park.
As they wheeled about, Elias spied the pond. The ripples in the water seemed to hypnotize him, drawing him towards it like a moth to flame. He didn't quite know why. The sentiments was shared by his daemon.
Habi had begun tugging at the stroller to make it go faster and started pecking at the straps. She wanted her bonded free so they could both play near the waters.
And then they spotted Fawkes and Rouge.
Huni smiled and carefully lifted Elias out of the stroller and lowered him just a few feet away from the pond's edge. "Be careful, okay? I'm right here." she promised and sat down by a nearby tree.
Elias and Habi first stared at the other pair, perhaps they were why they felt so drawn towards the small body of water?

Careful, very careful, Shiver. Lysium demanded and made sure that the small daemon didn't kill the leaves they had collected. They had a lot of different colours, so she was specifically proud of the great variety they had been able to find.
Her teacher smiled gently. He was an old man, with strange stripes on his cheeks, but quite a lot of heartwarming dimples. Following the toddler through the park he enjoyed the last rays of sunlight. It would be winter soon and so he had told the girl to discover the different species of trees and the wonderful colour spectrum around.
Shiver carried the load Lysium was so proud of more than carefully in his mouth. He had ripped a red leaf just an hour ago and the girl had been so upset with him that he didn't want to do so again. Still he kept looking for interesting places. I see waterplace. He let her know.
Lysium stopped and looked towards the small pond. Other children seemed to be around and one of them had a familiar touch. Somehow she felt drawn to them and she wanted to get leaves from the water plants. If there were some. After making sure that her teacher settled down on a bench in the sun, she hushed Shiver towards the new people. She always liked him to meet others first and he didn't mind.
Hello. What are you doing here? The cat asked the other daemon mentally while he toddled towards them. The leaves in his mouth made him look like a bad Halloween joke.

Habi tilted her head upon hearing Shiver. He sounded familiar, she was certain she had heard his voice before. Her wings unfurled as she laid eyes upon the feline daemon. "Fwiendly!!!!" She squawked back in delight. Tugging at Elias' sleeve with her beak, she began to motion towards Shiver, the hodge-podge daemon seemed oblivious to Lysium and the other pair.
Elias, however, was not as unobservant as his daemon. He peered towards Fawkes and Rouge a little warily before canting his head towards Shiver and Lysium in the distance. He knew them both, didn't he?

(( my bad with taking so long response wise DX))
Fawkes wobbled to the pond's edge before plopping down on the soft grass. He brushed his long, auburn hair out of his eyes as he stared down into the water with a small huff. He liked this pond, not just because it was secluded, but because it always seemed to have really bright orange fish in it that liked to swim up to the surface and watch him. But one thing he didn't like about the pond was that it was so clear that it acted as a perfect mirror. The child frowned as he caught sight of his reflection and quickly shook his head to the side, his hair yet again falling in front of his face and covering the scars along his face.
Rouge frowned, wrapping her tail around her charge's neck in a way of a comforting hug. She never liked when he got in his moods, but she really couldn't do anything either. Before she had a chance to even think of a way to comfort him, her ears perked and rotated back at the sound of others approaching them.
The small fox poked her head out from the curtain of Fawkes' hair, peering at their new visitors. She wasn't too sure what to say nor was she usually the one who introduced them to strangers. That was Fawkes' job, not hers. She huffed and purred into his mind.
< We have visitors kiddo.>
Fawkes turned slightly and eyed the children and daemons that had 'snuck up' on him. He blinked curiously, but this was barely seen as he hid his face in the shadow of his hair.

Uh oh. Bird. Shiver's eyes grew wide and as Habi even squeaked "Fwiendly!" he was about to turn around and run. It was that moment when he recognised the other daemon. Carefully carrying the leaves he moved a bit towards the friend and smiled mentally. Yeah, we know us, don't we? Who's that though? You know?
The daemon eyed the fox and its Forgotten curiously. Lysium followed slowly and made sure that Shiver didn't hurt the leaves. Peeking at the pond she noticed that Fawkes didn't seem too happy. She sometimes wasn't happy too, so probably it was normal. As Shiver seemed much to excited about meeting Habi again Lysium greeted Elias politely. "Hello. We are looking for leaves."
There was actually a pretty one right beneath Fawkes, but she didn't dare to go there. Still she glanced at it once in a while.

Elias broke into a smile as he recognized Lysium and Shiver. They had grown bigger! And Lysium could walk and talk out loud! He felt a twinge of envy, wishing he had such mobility and eloqution but at the moment he was still unable to express himself besides the odd syllable here and there. He could stand, barely, supported only by Habi or any stationary object.
When told their purpose for visiting the park, Elias began to scan his surroundings. He wanted to be able to do something for Lysium, as a sort of commemoration of their reunion. Leaves... leaves...
There were lots of them, but they were mostly dried up and torn in place or had been half eaten by insects. Elias noticed Lysium glancing towards the other pair of Forgotten and Daemon, did she know them he wondered. Until the particularly intersting leaf drew his attention and he realized what the older girl was looking at. Well, he started to crawl towards Fawkes and Rouge, eyes focused on the leaf.
Habi's tail wagged, sprinkling dust and dirt everywhere behind her. "You from rest'rant! Me Habi! Habi no know them. Nope. No know. Want me go ask?" She offered, cawing brightly. She glanced over to where her bonded was and saw him approaching the pair. "Yay! Elias help make fwends!" She cheered to Shiver, adoration in her wide, bright eyes.

Fawkes frowned to himself as the other children began to talk to him. Leaves? Why were they looking for leaves?
Rouge tilted her head to the side as she too, questioned the need for leaves. Perhaps they were merely collecting them? While Fawkes had ignored the other children's stares at the leaf below him, Rouge had not.
< OH! Fawkes, up gently. You have a leaf they want under you.>
Fawkes tilted his head to the side before glancing below him. It was a very pretty leaf indeed, and he knew why they would want it. Carefully he got up from the leaf and crawled a bit backwards so he was out of the way before grabbing the leaf from the ground. He stared at it momentarily before holding it out gingerly to Elias. " Here..." A small smile could be seen on his face.

[[ Sorry for the late answer, I focused so much on the Halloween Event! ]]
Lysium felt a bit strange as everyone seemed to care about the leaf she was looking for. Elias even crawled towards it. Hopefully he didn't get to dirty, because the girl knew that parents didn't like dirtyness.
Still she became a bit jealous as the previous one was given to Elias. "We look at them with my teacher." Lysium mumbled and wondered if the others went to school too. Well, actually she didn't went there but the teacher came to see them.
Shiver instead was quite happy about the outcome of the meeting. Oooh Habi, right! That's good, we like friends. We know loooots of people, but Lys doesn't want them to come home to us. He earned a bad glare from his Forgotten for that statement. What do you do here?
