A swaying bag of bread crumbs clutched tightly in his hand, Lewis excitedly skipped forward with a grin on his face. They were going to see the ducks again! The ducks lived at the pond in the park, and they were very nice. They swam around and made quacking noises and even swan towards him when he threw the bread into the water! Except sometimes they were mean if he ran out of bread and they wanted more. But that was only sometimes!
"Quack, quack," Lewis said, pausing to turn around and face his guardian, who was walking slowly behind him. Bug was very slow all of the time. Perhaps he was old? Maybe that's why his skin was green! "Hurry up, we's almost there," the boy called, before turning around and hopping off again, black curls bouncing.
Pushing his beak-like mouth into a scowl, Bug did not increase his pace any. It was too hot to run. Oh, how he hated these Gaian summers. The seasons on the Motherland were pleasantly mild compared to this planet. "Slow down! Don't run into the water like last time," the Zurg yelled as he passed through the gates of the park.
Joy. They were here.

Rysha was wandering around the park, dressed for the heat in plain jean capris and a double layered tanktop, her hair tugged back in a ponytail. It was definately hot out today, though the dancer didn't mind so much. She was used to sweating, so she just ignored it. At the moment, she was basically meandering around town with Tryst, giving the girl a basic layout of Barton; it had been less then twenty-four hours since the snake girl was hoisted on Rysha, and, though it still annoyed her slightly, she could manage.
Tryst was slithering along beside Rysha, her little white hand tucked into Rysha's larger, much tanner one. The toddler couldn't quite keep up with Rysha's walking pace, but she was managing well enough. She had refused to be carried, since she was used to slithering anyways, it didn't matter. As it was, her head was craning back and forth in every direction, taking in all the sights; she didn't mind the heat in the least, it felt pleasant. But it was her first time to really get a chance to look around outside of the labs, and she was taking advantage of it.

Reaching the pond, Lewis opened the small bag of crumbs hurriedly, digging his hand into and withdrawing a fistful of the crumbs. Tossing it to the already gathering ducks, the boy giggled as they snapped up the snack. "Quack, quack!" The ducks were so funny. They made weird noises and had feet that were almost like his!
Swirling around to ensure that Bug was there and enjoying the ducks as much as he was, the boy instead saw someone else. Oooh, pretty! There was a girl there with a lady, and the girl did not have any legs! Instead, she had a...thing. A thing like worms and snakes had. Looking down, Lewis blinked at his own legs. It'd be weird to not have them.
Forgetting the ducks momentarily, he ran forward until he was close enough to speak to the no-legged girl. "Cool! You has no legs and you is really white," he chirped, beaming at her.
Bug signed as he saw the toddler make a beeline for the girl and her parent. Why did this always happen whenever they went out? Actually moving forward at something faster than a walk, the Zurg frowned at the curly-haired boy. "Lewis, what I told you about bothering strangers? I hope he didn't disturb you," he said, turning towards the woman.

Rysha hadn't really been paying much attention to what was immediately in front of her, so she stopped short when there was suddenly a fuzzy white boy with a large mop of black curls on his head, standing in front of them and peering at Tryst. Commenting on Tryst's appearance. Whoops. Rysha still wasn't sure if the girl was sensitive about anything like that or not; she hadn't said anything, so Rysha couldn't be sure.
Tryst was surprised also, but her reaction was mostly contained to blinking her eyes in surprise. "You've got, uhm... Curly hair?" She ended in a question; she had no clue who the boy was, but felt as if some kind of answer was expected. He certainly looked interesting. Gangly legs, crazy curls... The snake girl couldn't help but have a small smile creep across her lips, just as the green skinned man ran up.
"It's alright, it's alright." Rysha said to the man, presumably the boy's parent, father, whatever. A Zurg, huh. She hadn't seen too many around in awhile, though she didn't mind them at all.
