The Park

@Cero /your sudden call got my attention and so I turn back and my head a tad bit as I wait for your next words/
Yes?
/catching a glimpse of what I assume to be your flushing cheeks, though it was hidden instantly, I let out a soft chuckle/
Sure you can. Oh, what's your name, little boy?
/directing my second question to the younger kid and smiles as I receive a timid response/
Hawon? Oh, okay. Hold that hyung's hand, alright? Don't worry he won't dare to bully Hawon as long as I'm here.
/jokes and pats his head, gesturing for him to take your larger hand; once done, I offer you another blinding smile before starting on our search for Hawon's mother/
Hey, is that her?
/points towards a middle-aged lady who is looking around and waves my arm frantically when Hawon nods happily/
Madam, here!

@Keirz well that's a way to talk with a stranger you know
/shrugs my shoulders slightly, just looking at you and the kid with the same expression
/blinks my eyes for a few times when I heard your words, totally get my guards off and could only look at you with widen eyes as you pass by; ruffling on my hair.
h-hey! wait..
/a tint of red spread across my cheeks but still not that obvious, turning around to face you.
I think.. I want to follow you guys. like- i'm not heartless so I kinda worried about that little kid
/scratch my head, not really used to show that i'm concerned about people around me.

@Cero How would I know? You make it seem that way with that impassive look...
/retorts and purses my lips, switching my attention back unto the little kid as I his head/
You lost your mommy? Hmm... let's go find her, shall we?
/offering a gentle smile and soft gaze, I take his tiny hand into my effeminate ones and starts walking, eyes searching for any frantic mothers/
Yah, don't put on that expression. It's not lovable.
/knowing you're actually innocent in this case, I send a beaming grin to your way, hand reaching up to ruffle your locks as I pass by/

@Keirz /blinks my eyes when someone crouching down in front of the kid out of the sudden, didn't really expect someone will come up to us.
/just looking at you interacting with the kid; slightly amazed and wonder how to treat kids properly but still keeping a blank face.
/frowns slightly when I hear your questions to the kid, crossing my arms over my chest and looking at you with unreadable expression with a scoff.
excuse me? I'm not that heartless to bully a kid out of nowhere

@Cero /casually swings a bag of goodies in one hand as I stroll along the pavement/
/a sudden sound of young child bawling loudly catches my attention and with a slight turn of my head, finds the source of it/
/eyes taking in the sight of a seemingly icy expression of a dark-skinned guy and the kid, I jump into conclusion/
/huff and walks over to them, immediately crouching down before the younger and gingerly his head/
Hey there, little guy. What's wrong?
/quickly unties the plastic bag and hands him a lollipop/
Did this hyung bully you?
/gives a faint glare at you, brows furrowing disapprovingly/

@Keirz /walks along the path in the park as I hum some random songs that come up in my mind.
oh? /spots a little boy, approaching him hesitantly
uhmm.. hey there little fella?
/suddenly the kid starts to cry when he says that he lost his mother, tugging onto my shirt, flustered all over when people around me looking at me as if I'm the one who make him crying
h-hey.. stop crying already

@Mars Her body went along with his of its own accord. She was so flabbergasted that it was about all she could do. Why was it that whenever this man was concerned she never really knew how to react? He was charming and sensitive when he wanted to be. Mars worked to make everyone feel better. She laughed lightly at the song. Mina had know idea that he knew how to sing but he was pretty good at it.

@Mina The tap on the head as not unexpected and he shook the particles that fell off of the stick on contact out of his hair. Everything for the evening had been crazy and things were settling down but he wasn't quite done. Gently he held her waist with one hand and pulled her close as he reached for her hand with his, holding her as if they were about to dance. Softly he began to sing and led her slowly around in a waltz. "You're all dressed up to go dreaming/ Now don't tell me I'm wrong/ And what a night to go dreaming/ Mind if I tag along" he paused and dipped her lightly. "Moonlight becomes you, it goes with your hair/ you certainly know the right thing to wear/ Moonlight becomes you, I'm thrilled at the sight/ And I could get so romantic tonight."

@Mars When she finally caught up the Mars she popped him playfully on the head with the stick before discarding it. The day had been eventful, there were many ups and downs along the way, and tomorrow their routines would go back to normal...or as normal as they could be. As much as she hated to admit it to anyone she always had fun and enjoyed her time with the weapon. He always knew how to make her feel better.

@Mina Although she was still chasing him he could tell her heart wasn't in it as much as before. Mina was smiling and actually seemed kind of happy for the moment so he began to slow his pace. Of course a million corny and cheesy things ran through his mind and he wondered just which of them would make her smile the most.

@Mars She kept following behind him waving the stick but not nearly as menacingly as she had before. It was something about being out at night surrounded by nature that always made her feel better. She would come out here to clear her head when the class was riding on her last nerve and somehow she would make it through the day.

@Mina Mars was so concerned with not getting beaten by the stick that he didn't really notice that Nyx had left them until he reached the straight away. As he glanced over his shoulder he only saw Mina, something scary enough to keep him running all the way to the pond.

@Mars She ran after him waving the stick wildly through the air. After a few minutes she realized that they had lost their other travelling companion. She hoped that the girl would be alright. Mina felt bad for momentarily forgetting about her but the weapon just made her so mad sometimes.

@Mars While watching them was fun and it had done a lot to list her spirits she didn't feel much like chasing them. Instead as soon as they rounded the corned she turned around to head back to the dorms. The day had been long and the night even more so and she felt like it was time to return. Maybe by then Aurora had healed him and she would be able to see Styx again.

@Mina There was something like a see glee that boiled up inside of him as he watched her quickly beginning to unravel. It was everything he could have hoped for and more when he saw her going for a weapon. "I think you are doing just that!" he called with a laugh over his shoulder as he took off. His long legs gave him the momentary advantage as he followed the path out of sight.

@Mars A blush stained her cheeks at his first comment. Frustration then overcame her and she looked around for something to hit him with. Finding a stick that was just thick enough it wouldn't break when it hit him she retrieved it before yelling, "EMO?! Oh I'll show you emo." and chasing after him with it.

@Mars There was nothing she could do but continue to laugh at their bickering. They were like an old married couple without the marriage or the romantic love. It was just like childish poking and trolling that didn't seem to end.

@Mina The weapon dropped the act and looked at her with a satisfied smirk. "No thanks. Why be the eaten when I can do the eating? That is just silly." he said and rolled his eyes at her. "Everything is life and death with you. SO EMO!"

@Mars Mina snorted at the weapon. "Like you ever really get offended. I have an idea! Why don't we get to the ducks and both of you can offer yourselves as sacrifices' to feed the ducks hunger for flesh and I'll judge and see which one the ducks enjoyed the most. If you win I will apologize."

@Mars Nyx was too slow to react to Mina's words because Mars was right on top of it and his response was just so outlandish that she couldn't contain herself. Fits of giggles issued from her and although she tried to cover with her hand she couldn't do that and hold her sides. It was just too much and she was losing it.

@Mina Upon hearing Mina's assessment he looked at her with eyes wide and mouth agape as if he had been deeply offended. He brough his hands up to his chest like some southern belle and turned away from her. "Oh why, I never." Mars said, making his voice as high as he could and affecting a southern accent.

@Nyx "That's easy! You're the bait because ducks like the taste of young females. I'm far too old and Mars is stringy and doesn't taste very good but you would be perfect." Light banter and a walk really did something for one's mood. Mina could tell that both of her companions were starting to feel better and in turn she felt better as well.

@Mars Part of her couldn't believe they were actually talking strategy for how to take on a group of ducks. The whole idea was so absurd she couldn't help but to giggle at it. "Why am I the bait though? Just because I don't have my weapon doesn't mean I can't open up a can of you know what." she replied.

@Mina Hearing Mina laugh brought a smile to his face and he knew he was definitely on the right track. Now if only he could get the other meister to enjoy herself a little more. "We will just use her as bait then KABLAM! Roast duck for everyone." he said with a chuckle and glanced back at them. "As long as we focus on taking out the group instead of just one individually we will be fine. One shot, one kill."

@Mars Mina chuckled at the weapon as she was dragged along. Roast duck was actually one of her favorite dishes, though few people knew that. Using him to kill said duck, although amusing, would be a pain. Ducks were fast little bastards and tended to flee while the rest of the flock attacked you. "Even with three of us I don't know that we could take a flock of ducks... they fight dirty."

@Mars Before she could protest she was being dragged down the path by the weapon. As much as she tried to fight it she couldn't stay gloomy when he seemed so excited about something so stupid. In her mind she was imagining Mina actually using him to fight off a giant duck but even then it seemed like overkill.

@Mina "Okay so if one of those ducks attack you can just use me to kill it and then we can have a late dinner." he said half jokingly and pulled both of the ladies down the path. "I promise I will even take the feathers off of it and everything." The important thing was to just get them moving so that they stopped thinking about what they had left behind.

@Mars "I can think of a few people who had attempted to feed said ducks bread crumbs and then got attacked by the horrible fouls. They also ended up walking home covered in feathers and bird poop." Mina gave the young meister a knowing look. She wasn't really too upset with the girl she just got a little defensive in certain situations. Letting Aurora handle the weapon was the best course of action.

@Nyx Being ignored by Mina was something he was used to so he shrugged it off, turning his attention back to the younger meister. "I think we should take the blue path. It goes past a pond and there could be ducks." he suggested with a playful smile. "Who doesn't feel better when ducks are around?"
