Aurora hadn't been able to get ahold of any of his friends. As few and far between they were he felt a bit hurt and neglected. But then again he had kept out of contact for so long. What had made him think that they would stick with a person who seems to terly abandon them?
The morning air was crisp, the smell of dew on the parched lawns refreshing, even as he entered the narrow pathway into the park he couldn't help but listen to the birds signing the early morning praise to the sun.
He wore but a simple tunic of white, loose and billowy, his hair was slightly curled from the dampness the hung in the air, blue eyes searched the branches for the bodies that held those songs the birds were uttering.
He caught of a glimpse of a couple shadowy feathered bodies but aside from that nothing solid. The wind blew like a caress on his cheek though a bit cooler than he would of prefeered. The cloth of his shirt was thin and the wind blew right through it and touched his skin.

Medeine: says:
Medeine was not the type of girl to abandon a friend, she simply had been gone for an extremely long time on that roadtrip, after Piper had told her that she must marry. She hadn't, and now she was a leggy, breasty, teenager, with an agenda. She was going to do her best to ruin any and ALL of the Pied Piper's plans for the Fables.
The girl hummed to herself as she wandered through the park, actually on her way to see Ravji, one of her oldest looking friends. However, the sight of a young boy that she knew, staring off at nothing caught her attention. Mede approached him.
"... Rora?"
Aurora: says:
Aurora flinched at the sound, he had thought he had been alone, as he turned at the voice that sounded faimlar, his eyes were wide with shock as his gaze fell upon a very busty looking teenager, her golden hair cascading down umoungst her shoulders he turned around fully. Who was this girl? she looked familar....
Medeine: says:
"... Why, dear Aurora? Thou dost not recognize my visage? I do not fault thee, for I hath grown indeed."
No one could mistake THAT pattern of speech though. A grin lit her pretty face, and she held out a hand.
"I have not forgotten thee, in spite of my new attributes. Afterall, once upon a time, thee saved me from a freezer monster."
She chuckled at the fond, if odd, memory.
Aurora: says:
A gaze of reconigtion spread through his visage and he smiled and threw his arms around Mediene in a somewaht girlish fashion. "Mediene!" he cried out in joy, though he seemed to have his face somewhat smushed up against her chest, he didn't even seem to be abashed about that fact. Aye yes Aurora was still naive and fairly innocent and pure. "I have missed you dearly, though you have grown without me knowing i see."
Medeine: says:
Medeine's laughter was musical, and she squeezed the boy in her arms, not caring about which body parts were touching. As a girl who was loving of nature, she was very aware of herself as a sexual being, but, she wasn't a *****, and therefore payed no mind to what Aurora touched.
"I hath missed thee too, 'Rora. I hath indeed been gone far too long."
Aurora: says:
Aurora looked up tears streaked down the sides of his cheeks though his smile was broad and a happy he snuggeled against Mediene feeling as if he had just found his hope once more.
"Mediene where have you been? you have been gone so long..." he trailed off trying not to sound like he was blaming her for her sudden dissapearance...he was at fault for not getting in touch sooner. "Please tell me of your journies!" he continued excitedly.
Medeine: says:
Medeine sat on a stone bench, actually pulling Aurora onto her lap, and holding him, stroking his hair absent-mindedly.
"Well, I could not find thee anywhere, so Aekepi accompanied me, and we journeyed first to Mexico, then Australia. On the boat to Australia, he told me... Of his love toward me, but I hath no answer for him.
"Upon reaching the white sands, he was struck with poison by a furred creature, and I went in search of a cure."
The teen grinned, and shook her head.
"That was when I met Charming. She awoke me from my nap with a kiss, and joined me, helping me find Aekepi's cure."
After delivering it, Aekepi was flown home by helicopter, and Charming assured me that I'd see her again. So I returned home."
Aurora: says:
It seemed Aurora had been left out of the loop somewhat. Akepei confessed his love to Meidene as well? That boy seemed to have no quams with how Aurora had gently if naively put him down.
"Charming?" he asked the name seeming to ring some sort of warning bell in his system though he couldn't figure out why. "Is she nice? What does she look like?" he asked feeling like a wee child beeing coddeled by Mediene, though he didn't mind, in fact he was apprecaiting the company and the attention. Some small part of him felt a bit sad, as if he had lost Mediene even though she was right there. His emotions were confusing...he would ignore them for the moment.
Medeine: says:
"Very nice, although not in the way one might expect... Thee shalt see what she looks like, when she rejoins me.... I fear that I am lonesome. 'Tis not an ache I felt before... But now... I have none to fill that void. I suppose I could have Aekepi, but at this time... I don't want to. It won't feel right. So I am alone."
Perhaps Aurora had lost her, because she'd almost lost herself.
Aurora: says:
Looking into her eyes he felt some part of him reach out to her. "But..." he started and then went silent, struggling to find words to fit the raging emotions in his head.
"I ...want to apologize for leaving you alone.,." he started gathering his courage to figure out things for himself. "I myself feel like you...alone, but upon realizing this I am not. I won't let you be alone Mediene. I promise I won't let you be alone, not again. Can you ever forgive a child who had just seen the light?"
Medeine: says:
Blinking rapidly in surprise, the teen's husky voice was soft, and she bent forward to press a kiss against Aurora's cheek.
"Of course.... I left thee behind myself, and for that, I also apologize. We are the same, thee and myself, and must realize this, and stick together."
A small smile, and she raised an eyebrow.
"I hath many a new friend, but none like thee. How dost thou fair with thy other companions?"
Aurora: says:
Aurora looked a bit saddened. His heart ached on that subject. "I...have not seen them in many a moon. I tried to get ahold of Aekepi, but have not received a reply and the abscene of Kinnara is like a wound to my heart. I hath not seen many others...though i know there are many more fables around." He felt himself starting to slip into Mediene's way of speech, he thought it cute and only snuggeled into her embrace letting her run fingers through his hair. He wanted to grow up...wanted to catch up to Meidene go places with her and be by her side. "Mediene...can i ask a personal question?"
Medeine: says:
"I hath met several new friends many a time... Lord Tasius, Lady Flerida, dear Ravji, young Aekepi, not too mention... Others."
Pausing, her blue gaze met his, and she smiled brilliantly.
"Of course thee may."
Aurora: says:
Aurora blinked serverl times as if something had gotten into them, "If i stayed by your side ....would you .." he stopped not sure where he was going with this. All these emotions made no sense to him. For all that he was, he never really understood love, his innocence was perserved by his isolation, he didn't want to be alone anymore. "Could I stay by your side? Please? I won't be a burden...I learn how to be a real man, so I can protect you.." he continued rambling on, not knowing what he meant or what he was trying to accomplish
Medeine: says:
Medeine was quiet for a long time, then slowly let Aurora down off her lap, seating him next to her. Taking his smaller hand in her slim one, she squeeze, smiling over at him.
"Briar."
The new name she would call him, to go with his new outlook on life.
"Thee art never a burden onto me, nor shall thee ever be. Thou art already becoming a real man, hath no fear."
But the answer to his question? That was the simplest thing to answer of all.
"Of course, thee belong at my side. I would never dream of separation."
Aurora: says:
Somehow despite everything relief flooded through him. Tears sprang forth and he attempted to hurriedly brush them away. "Mediene, I thankyou. It feels now like I have a purpose...or a goal of somesort. I want to be a Prince someday...I want to help others, and I want to start with you." he said turning his face to look up at her. He felt so small next to her he didn't know what to say or do.
"I will hurry and grow up for you Mediene...I want you to never be alone again."
Medeine: says:
"I... Thee hath done me a great service, Briar.... Only Lord Tasius is of my age, and we... Have a confusing relationship."
The fingertips of her other hand brushed hair from Aurora's face and she chuckled.
"Thee art a true friend, and I anxiously await thy growth."
Aurora: says:
He leaned his head against her arm, and let out a slow breath, "Mediene is Tasius the dragon kin boy? I think i remember him breifly...I sang him to sleep once." he recalled the memory of the draogn boy sharply. It was one of those days of voilence. HE would have to learn to deal with it if he wished to protect Mediene. He swung his legs on the ben ch back and forth child-like but truest to his nature. "I would wish to make more friends...thus how do i go about doing that Mediene?"
Medeine: says:
"Ah... Yes, he is of the flesh of Dragons... When he choked me upon the day of thy song, he did no harm. He is... Not like the others like us."
A small, somewhat affectionate smile, and Medeine glanced at the ground and back to Aurora. She had a strange understanding and attachment to Tasius, one that many didn't accept or understand. Like Aekepi.
"All thee hath to do is meet them, Briar. I shall take thee with me to do so another time, mmmn?"
A glance at the sky, and she saw she was running very late.
"I am sorry to say I must depart thee."
Aurora: says:
Aurora looked a bit disheartened byt the anouncement but he wouldn't let his feelings bog her down or make her feel guilty. He had already taken enough of her time already. "Aye it is late. Perhaps I can come and meet you soon? We can go do things together, or intorude me to your new friends." he said forcing a smile onto his lips so that he would burden her with his sadness or this breif visit.
Medeine: says:
Medeine pulled the boy into a hug, kissing his forehead and got to her feet, nodding slowly, charming smile in place.
"Yes... Soon, later this week perhaps?"
Waving her fingers, she disappeared into the parks foliage, much like the fay that'd raised her.
Aurora says:
He watched as she dissapeared and felt a renewed sense of hope. He would not give up on his dreams. He would protect Mediene even at the cost of his life. Turning he danced away humming a song to himself in which the birds joined him in song.
