Today was a special day. Donovan, who normally was hesitent about letting Vance play in the backyard by himself, allowed the youngster to do just that. Donovan had things to do in the house, and Vance wanted to play outside.
It was a beautiful day, and so Donovan opened the sliding doors, leaving them open so Vance could come in and out as he pleased. "Don't go near the water Vance. You're too young to swim without me around." They had been through this before. The stone walkway surrounding the pool was the 'Danger Zone', and Vance was not to set foot there.
Vance scuttled over the lawn, giggling happily with his toys in hand. The little boy in his frog themed pajamas stumbled over a dip in the lawn. His toys scattered, one being his favorite toy truck. It bounced off the lawn and onto the forbidden stone pathway. "Uh oooh..."

Ryuu was wandering as he was often seen doing, though with less of a destination these days. Before when he wandered it was because he was looking for something in particular but now a days he had no idea what it was that he was looking for. He'd found his 'missing something' when he'd met up with the man that was supposed to be his Father, the same person that he'd left behind when things hadn't worked out between them.
He was in a rather nice neighborhood at the moment, one that reminded him of those family settings on the television and being the curious creature he was, one who had the same mind set as a child, he drifted into one of the yards to look around in a curious manner only to find himself looking at a child who was there. He perked up a bit as he landed on the ground and shuffled along toward him, wondering if this boy would have a better reaction then the last new person he'd met... that bug girl seemed to hate him almost straight away which was scary and new to Ryuu who had never had trouble making friends before.
The silver dragon came to settle down next to Vance, gazing up at him for a moment. He was wearing frog pajamas that reminded him of the dragon themed ones that Roxy wore from time to time. He gave a little smile before he set to wagging his tail, waiting to be noticed.

Oh no... he wasn't allowed on the stone pathway, but his toy was there. Maybe he could reach it without touching? Vance was plotting his plan of action when something strange caught his eye. What was this? Vance stared down for a while at the creature, barely blinking. He crouched down and stared some more, until a smile crept onto his face followed by an amused giggle. "Heh-Loooo~" He said with an amused tone. Was this a big bug? A lizard? It was cool!
Vance reached out to pet the strange thing, curious to know what it felt like. "What're you?" He asked it. Did things like this talk? It didn't seem to be something that came to mind for Vance. He often had conversations with ants and flies before eating them anyway. "Are you a liiiiizard?"

Ryuusei seemed to perk up that much more, tail wagging to the point that it was a blur when the boy greeted him. He tilted his head into the petting before giving a sound like a purr, rather enjoying getting pet in such a manner. His dark eyes sank shut for a moment before he found himself being questioned by the boy, "I'm a dragon." He told the boy, opening his eyes to look up at Vance and then smiled, "My name is Ryuusei."
He was rather happy to find that this boy seemed quite friendly which made him glad that he had approached him, already he was much better then the bug girl!

Vance's smiled turned to an excited grin. The lizard could talk! Well, dragon-lizard. "Hi Reee-oosay. I'm Vance!" He replied, petting the dragon again. It felt so cool! He could do this all day. He really liked this thing.
"D'ya wanna play with me?" Vance asked Ryuusei, refraining from petting for now and holding onto his knees. "But, we can't go near the pool, cause it's dangerous, and there's a danger zone around it." He said matter of factly as he raised a finger, repeating the information he had heard from his father. "I'm not allowed in there unless Daddy is with me." And he certainly wouldn't disobey his father. It wasn't that he frightened him, but Vance just idolized the man.
Did the lizard...er dragon even like swimming? Did it like toys? He never met a talking lizard thing before!

The dragon smiled showing his sharp little teeth before he nodded, "Vance." He murmured, seeming to be filing the information away for later before he nodded, "Sure! I would love to play with you." He was nearly bouncing in place as the invitation was given over to him. Finding someone to play with was far better then having to just wandering around at random.
Ryuusei turned to look at the area that was referred to as the 'danger zone' before giving a slow nod of his head. They didn't have to play over there if was a place that was dangerous, in fact he was much happier to play right here if it were safer. He turned to look up at Vance as he made mention of his Daddy, "Vance has a Daddy?" He asked, sounding curious about it. It seemed most of the people he'd ever run across aside from Mrrh had parents. It was always something that Ryuu was a little bit envious of as he had none of his own. At least he had Roxy and Mrrh though he decided, they were like family after all.

Yay! Vance giggled and wiggled in place. He was so glad to have a play mate today. "Yes!" Vance said proudly, with a smug grin on his face. He was very proud of his daddy. "He's taaaall and he fixes stuff." He wasn't sure what Donovan was so busy with today, but that didn't matter at the moment. "Daddy went into the garage to fix stuff... I think." He was busy, and couldn't play, so whatever Donovan was doing didn't matter to Vance.
The toddler climbed to his feet, dusting off his knees. Now then, what did dragons play? Normally with lizards he just poked them until they scrambled beyond reach. This one was different, cause it talked. "What do dragons do?" He asked curiously, looking down at Ryuusei curiously.

"Tall and fixes stuff." Ryuu murmured to himself, that sounded kind of interesting, didn't it? He nodded to himself before giving a smile, "I see, I don't have one of my own so I was curious what one might be like." The Daddy that Vance had sounded quite interesting, really.
He watched as Vance pushed to his feet and Ryuu moved to follow suit, pushing off the ground to float along side the other. As he had sat still a glittering cloud of stars had started to gather around the dragon, they were small and came in various colors and would appear as though they were following along after him, "What do we do? Same thing as everyone I think. I go for walks, play with friends, sometimes my friend Mrrh will bring me to get Happy Meals at the restaurant with the golden arches sign."
From the happy look on his face and the way his little wings fluttered it would seem as though he cared for the aforementioned 'Mrrh' a lot.

"You don't?" That was very sad, Vance thought. Daddy's were the best things in the world, in his mind. "How come?" He asked worriedly, tilting his head with a small pout.
Vance looked and watched as Ryuu floated up, amazed at the sparkles and stars that appeared around him. How pretty, he thought. Why did he have stars and sparkles? Was it a special thing dragon lizards did? Vance brightened up when Ryuu mentioned the fast food chain. "I love that place! My daddy takes me sometimes, and I eat burgers, and I get a toy! You like it too?" So then, dragon-lizards eat those kinds of foods. Good to know. It seemed that the toddler linked Ryuu's excitement to the mentioned food place more than the person called Mrrh.

"No, I don't. Its a long story though." He said, giving a wave of one of his little hands as though it were to long of a story to go into to be able to explain why he didn't have a Daddy.
He nodded his head rapidly, "Yes! I love the burgers sooo much! After I eat them though I end up with a big belly and my little legs can reach the ground." He said, grinning a bit as though it were the most amusing thing ever, "Mrrh always teases me for it, calls me Pudgy."
"Yes, its nice how they give you toys with the meal." He said, getting a dreamy look on his face as he thought about that. Oh, he could really go for that sort of thing at the moment he thought to himself, tail wagging rapidly.

Vance was now very much forgetting about the fact Ryuu didn't have a dad in favor of talking about fast food. Vance giggled with his hands by his mouth at the thought of a pudgy Ryuu. "That's funny!" The toddler said excitedly.
Now Vance felt kind of hungry, what with all this talk of food. But his daddy was busy and didn't want to be disturbed, and he got angry when Vance went out on his own. What to do? "Do you like bugs?" Vance asked the dragon thing curiously.

Ryuusei tilted his head as the conversation turned to bugs before he gave a nod of his head, "I've eaten a couple before." He admitted, grasshoppers mostly and one dragonfly until he learned the name and decided eating them seemed very wrong since he was a dragon himself.
He shuffled closer to Vance, hopping up so that he could land on his shoulder and settled there, "Are we going to chase bugs?" He asked of Vance in a curious, excited manner.

Vance let Ryuu settle on his shoulder, feeling cool now like a pirate with a parrot. "Yup! We're bug hunters!" Vance said proudly, standing in a triumphant pose. Vance usually went hunting on his own. He was glad to have someone with him to hunt for bugs with. Maybe one day he'd see that Bug girl again, and the three of them could go hunting.
"First, we gotta find them, then we gotta chase'em. An' maybe eat one if it looks yummy. Buuut..." Vance looked around, shuffling through his toy pile with his foot until he found what he was looking for. A bug net, and a bug jar. "These are our special tools. What one do you want?" He asked Ryuu. Vance could use his tongue, but this was more for a game of hunting, not eating.

"Bug Hunters, that sounds exciting!" Ryuusei said, from where he was perching on his new found friend. This should prove to be a whole lot of fun! His star tipped tail set to swishing behind him at a rapid pace as Vance moved to where the toy pile was, finding the things that they needed for effectively catching bugs. He carefully studied the two before taking the net with his mouth deciding that of the two that one was what he might be able to better use.
"Will use this one." He said from around the handle of the net before he looked around, already trying to spot some bugs that they should try to chase down!

Vance was very happy that Ryuu wanted to play bug hunter with him. He smiled wide and started to move around the yard, his hands clamped tightly around the jar. "You'll be the hunter. I'll be the lookout, and keep them in the jar." They would make an amazing team! Vance was positive they would have a lot of fun.
Vance started to slowly shift through the tall shrubs, jiggling them a bit until a moth flew out. "Oooh!" He gasped, turning to watch it flutter about the yard. "Let's catch it!" Vance crept to the ground, and started to crawl towards the patch of flowers the moth seemed to be fluttering around. "Okay... we'll wait till it lands, and when we get close, we'll catch it." He whispered to his shoulder buddy, crawling ever closer to the unknowing, fluttering winged bug.
