Swinging her legs, Adda hung there. She was taking a trip to the urban parts of Japan to pick of trinkets and items for her room. She was doing more of a "redecorating" of her room. She had picked up what she wanted, yes, but while walking back to the train station Adda had seen a small deserted play ground. Since she wasn't taking gymnastic lessons until the summer, she wasn't sure if she still had her old skills. The play ground did not offer much for her to practice on, but it did have several pull up beams. Due to this, Adda decided to use them for uneven bars and balance beam exercises. Unfortunately, due to her height, she had to stand on something to reach them.
Adda did her normal warm ups and stretches upon the beam before deciding she should take a break. Now the scene takes us to where she is now, hanging from the beams. Like stated before, due to her height, she was not capable of reaching the beams. But also due to that, she is also not capable of getting down. She was hanging there for a while in honest truth. It was true however, that she could swing and just get herself down or drop down taking little damage. But with pavement of stone and her trinkets underneath her, that wasn't a good idea. Adda strained as she tightened her grip. What an ordeal...

Dante yawned and stretched out his arms as far as he could as he was making his way back home after a bit of grocery shopping. He lowered his arms back down to his sides and the plastic clear bags in his right hand continued to hit at his leg. The boy hoped that the bags wouldn't tear and drop everything like last time; which was why he asked the lady for even more extra bags to prevent the dilemma.
The boy felt his finger twitch a little, the urge to grab a chocolate bar or a bag of chips from inside and have a light snack. It was something he wasn't allowed to do, but hell, he was going to doing it anyway. Which he did, and proudly so. The house was still a good distance away and Dante's demon of a manager was nowhere in sight to boss him around about watching his weight, or whatever she can think of just to torture the poor boy.
As he was unwrapping a chocolate bar, his eyes strayed off to the playground. It brought a small smile to his face as he remembered the times he had went to the playground for the first time with his parents. It wasn't exactly one of the greatest memory since a large kid came, stole his cookie, pushed him into the ground and ran away. Dante really liked the cookie too....
The smile on his face turned into curiosity and confusion when he noticed a girl hanging around one of the beams. After a brief moment of hesitation, he approached her, smiling once more while taking a bite out of his chocolate. "You having fun up there...?" He asked is a playful tone.

Darting her ears down towards the one underneath her, fear ultimately swelled. Who was this person? Why were they talking to her? And worst of all, why were they not sharing their utterly sweet chocolate?! Kicking her legs in the direction of the male, Adda hissed. "Get away you pervert!" she screeched in utter fright. "Get away, get away, away away away!" Pulling herself up amongst the bar, she climbed and toppled over it to try and stare the other way. If she ignored the male, maybe she would. However, in her trek to do so, her large framed glasses slipped from behind the poles of her ears and fell. Luckily, it fell onto her back of trinkets, not landing against the floor. She bit her tongue when it occurred. She could now see nothing! Gritting her teeth slightly, she turned around to try and see if the person was still there.
She guessed he was, as she did see a somewhat looking blob below her. After some, looking over is what you would say, she blinked to herself. Was the male...A male? In truth, Adda had always thought men to be big, buff characters who were all testosterone and perverted minds. But staring at this one, he had longer hair than usual...and was slimmer also. Maybe, it was a girl? Yes! It was a female! Adda could trust her. She didn't seem that mean anyway. Well, from her tone of voice she didn't. "Well Missy!" Adda spoke, implying the wrong gender to Dante. "Could you help me down from here?" she spoke in the somewhat Japanese she learned. She was living in a foreign country afterall and there was no doubt there was going to be those who didn't understand English.

Dante gaped at the girl. His mouth was hanging wide upon and his beloved chocolate bar had dropped to the ground when Adda had called him a pervert. He took several steps back, very much in shock. "P-per--" Dante stuttered but he couldn't seem to form the words correctly. Being called something like that really hit the mark.
But the shock eventually faded when the girl seemed to have calmed down. Perhaps it was due to her glasses falling off? He may have had trouble understanding long complicated sentences, but the line that Adda had just said was one Dante was constantly familiar with, and seemed to have memorized greatly for whenever he needed help. With a smile and a nod, he stepped a little closer to Adda. He dropped the grocery bag onto the ground and stretched his arms towards the girl.
"S-sure, I'll help you out..." He replies back, although it was in English.
But then his hand faltered slightly. Wait a minute...did this chick think that he was a girl?!

Smiling to herself in inward happiness of finally being relaxed of her hanging duty, Adda let go. "Thank you~!" she screeched while falling. Whether it be a lengthy drop or not, it did feel long. As if she was falling down a rabbit hole or something? Wait, was she? Blinking her eyes open, apparently she wasn't. But it did feel long. Quite long..actually. (( <--- Too much of an innuendo...D: ))

Dante hadn't realize he was zoning out until he felt something heavy fall into his arms. Why was that? Oh yeah, now the boy remembered. He had to catch the weird girl because she got herself stuck while climbing on a beam. Dante grunted a little since the gravitational force that was pulling Adda down made her seem heavier than she looked.
Gently letting her down, Dante sighed and rubbed his arms a little. "Er...are you okay?"
((lawl xDD *dies*))

Adda nodded her head lightly as she patted around on the floor for her glasses. Finally, she felt her spectables upon the bag of trinkets and picked them up. Slipping the ends of the thick pair of glasses behind the poles of her ears, she grinned to herself. "Thank you very-" she paused when she finally caught a glimpse of her helper. "Eeeeeee!" she flailed in fright before dashing away a couple of feet and curling into a ball to the floor. "What are you?!" she hollered. "A male or a...female?!" In truth, Adda had only confused herself.
Miroku chirped on her side, yipping up and down for food from inside his digital prison. But in due truth, Adda was too afraid to reach for him and feed him. What if she pressed the wrong buttons and killed him? What if the...person in front of her attacked? What an ordeal...!

Startled by the sudden flailing and yelling made Dante jump. He stumbled back and tripped over his bag of groceries causing him to fall over. "Whoa!" The boy could only yelp out after landing on his back, thankfully, the injuries weren't very painful at all.
It took Dante several moments before he managed to get right back up, brushing off any remnants of dirt off his clothes. "I'm a guy..." Dante answered, frowning a little. "Not obvious though, is it...?"

Adda blinked. In truth, it was quite obvious. But there were people out there who had secrets! Reaching her hand and tapping the buttons down on Miroku, she kept her eyes darted specifically at Dante. "People have secrets!" she yelled, repeating her thoughts. Picking herself from her curled stance, she stared at Dante still. "You have secrets too, obviously!" She turned her face to a glare to try and seem bigger and scarier, like a bird when confronted in front of a cat. Of course, however, she was just teaming with fright inside of her.

Dante was taken aback slightly. The mention of secrets obviously made him panic a little bit. "S-secrets? What secrets? I have nothing to hide..." His voice sounded rather uncertain. Obviously, it was a lie but she didn't need to know anything. He reached over to bend to get take his grocery bags and frowned a little upon seeing that his chocolate bar that had been dropped on the floor was now being held hostage by an ant army.
"A-anyway...it seems like your okay..." It was obvious the girl didn't want him around, although he wasn't sure why. "Why are you so scared of me...? Am I ugly or something?"

"People have secrets." she said in a bland effort to conceal her own self. "And that would be counted as a secret also. Besides, what are you doing here?" she asked, trying to change the subject. "Following me perhaps?! I will call the police on you if you come...any closer!" Trailing herself away more, she turned her head about to make sure there was no one around. If the male dare lay a hand on her, one of them was going to be dead!

"Whoa, hold on a minute! I'm not stalking you or anything!" Dante held his hands up and backed away several more inches to put more distance between them. "I just came back from the grocery store..." He says and held it up as proof. "And well, I happen to see you hanging on the beam and it looked like you were struggling." The boy frowns again. "But then you start yelling at me and calling me a pervert! Do I look like one to you?!" Dante was not used to such treatment at all.

Adda scoffed to herself inwardly. But his tale did seem to hold its concrete base. "..." Adda silenced herself as she turned her head. Turning it back one more, she glared and replied, "Yes, yes you do! All men are!" She snorted with disgust as she picked herself up from the ground and dusted herself off. "My defense still stands, do NOT come any closer!"

Dante never had much of a big ego. Far from it actually. Not to mention, insults don't phase him as much as it id several years ago. But being called a pervert wasn't something the boy expected. "A-aren't you being a little rash by grouping all men together? I will admit that there are men out there who are perverts..." Dante may be naive when it comes to most things but he definitely knew the darker things that occur in the outside world. "B-but not all of them are!"
He made sure that that there was a fair good amount of distance between him and the girl. If she really did believe Dante was a pervert, chances are she might have something like a taser or pepper spray or whatever self defense known with her. Better safe than sorry.
"Look, I wasn't here to attack you or anything. If I did, I would have done it while you were defenseless and didn't have your glasses on, which I didn't." Dante reasoned. He wanted to at least get on slightly better terms with her...and hopefully change the opinion of him of being a pervert. It was bad for the boy's reputation.

Adda stiffled. Crap, the male was having a point. Focusing her eyes in another direction, she smothered down her hair and for one, bowed her hips down. "T-thank you." she spoke, finally admitting defeat. "For assisting to me. Is there...a way in which I can repay you?" In truth, she had not lost her nerve yet. She was just being..kind? Yea, kind. Just to see what the male would do next. If he accepted her offer, she would have to be extra careful.
