Caleb's tail was just a blur behind the boy as he moved about the toy store excitedly. Kaden had brought the boy to the store as a reward for good behavior recently and was beginning to worry if it had been such a good idea. He had, at least, managed to convince the boy to leave Rex outside in the car. He didn't think the toy store employees would've enjoyed having the landrunner loose in the store. Caleb was bad enough.
"Are you almost done, Caleb?" The boy had been in the store for an hour already and still hadn't selected a toy. Kaden was getting tired of chasing the canine boy around the store. Caleb might be able to run all day long without tiring, but his guardian was not the same!

Mouse, on the other hand, was a different story. Unlike Kaden, the tall blonde seemed to adore shopping almost as much as his ward. He popped out from an aisle suddenly, flailing a large blow-up crayon as though it were a weapon.
Lios followed, waving a foam sword. The boy rather liked the crayon Mr. Mouse had, but he'd learned early on that anything full of air did not fair well around his sharp-taloned hand. He disliked the loud popping noise balloons and balls made when they ruptured- it scared him and while he was not sure the blow-up his guardian had would make quite so loud a noise...he'd rather be safe than sorry.
He had been, in the last week or so, coming out of his shell some. But then again, the owlet always got on better with adults as opposed to his peers. Other kids made him nervous and he was greatly inclined to go hide or avoid contact with children or be generally hesitant. Other kids stared. And they said mean things. At least adults were nice.
They seemed to not notice the other two at the moment, absorbed in whatever they were playing. Mouse tossed the crayon aside and suddenly scooped up the boy, laughing wildly and swinging him around, the boy laughing just as loud, still flailing his foam weapon.

The play fight caught Caleb's attention and the boy watched, grinning, as child and guardian fought to the death, or well so it was in the canine boy's head. He glanced up at his own guardian, wondering if Kaden would play with him like that too! The kid glanced around for a weapon of his own. Aha! There, a toy lightsaber!
The kid grabbed it, pressing the button and flicking the toy to make the blue blade extend. As he ran forward, Kaden grabbed his shoulder to stop him. The child frowned, then saw that the other two had stopped their fight to hug. Oh. Caleb sighed, glancing back up at his guardian.
"You may go and ASK them if you can join." Kaden told him, stressing the word 'ask' as a reminder of manners.
Caleb walked over to the two, lightsaber still in hand. "Can I play too?"

Mouse stopped spinning, Lios dangling upside down from his arms, the boy still whapping at his legs with the foam sword. He grinned widely at the approaching boy, setting his ward down. "Hey, why not? More the merrier, right?" he said, seeming much like an overgrown kid himself. He tried to steer Lios towards Caleb.
"Go on, now. he coaxed. The boy could use some friends.
Lios buried his face in Mouse's shirt, giving a mumbled 'noooo' in response. Good with his guardian, good with his own little bubble...not so good with other kids yet.
Still, he peeked at the other curiously. Hesitantly. Almost like he wanted to play but was afraid of being pushed over and teased, or ignored. He was young, but he was old enough to understand the sting of being rejected. He played better alone...that way, no one would say mean things or take your toys away.
Mouse went on where his ward didn't. "Bet your parents told you not to talk to strangers, huh? Well...I'm Moriarty Balthasaar, but my friends call me Mouse." he grinned.
'm Lios..." the owlet finally murmured, watching the boy a bit more from behind his big glasses.
"How about you?" he asked, still smiling.

Caleb grinned happily as Mouse said he could join them. His tail set to wagging again as he waited for them both to get their weapons ready. No fun in fighting someone who wasn't ready, even if you did get to win that way.
"Caleb." He answered when Mouse asked.
Kaden lurked in the background, making sure his charge didn't hurt anyone or do something stupid. Which, with Caleb, was rather likely. The kid probably wouldn't mean to hurt someone, but he tended to get easily excited and sometimes didn't know his own strength.
The boy went to shifting his weight from furred foot to unfurred foot, eager to start playing.
