Armand needed to wait until the sun set to go out. For Luca's peace of mind more than his safety Aarmand first went hunting, then changed out of the dirty clothes and into the fine silk shirt and slacks he arrived in. As usual his fingers were covered in jeweled rings. He decided to fly to the park, but some distance away from the boy and took his time walking to him.

When he got a little closer, he called, "Luca!" smiling with his mouth closed. He didn't want to scare the boy, and had took as many measures to avoid this as he could, save for a pair of sunglasses. But his skin was as human as it would look thanks to the blood of a fresh kill filling his veins. Fortunately he was also still tanned from burning in the sun before he met with Sybelle. It wasn't terribly much, but enough to make him look like a younger vampire than he was.

"Are you here on your own?"

He's managed to grab enough flower to begin putting together a crown, and it's what he settle down to do as Armand arrives. Hearing his name and recognizing him, he grins, dropping the half-made crown and running over. "Armand! You really came!" He settles on his feet in front of him, bouncing on his heels.

"Yeah! Al says as long as I check in and stay out of the dangerous areas, I can go anywhere!" Then, still smiling he turns and points at the collection of glass balls and paints. "I brought 'em, just like I promised!"

Armand gently puts a hand on his head, smiling a bit sadly. Luca reminded him of the other boys he lived with so long ago. He forced more of a smile, pushing back the memories of the last time he saw

He offers his hand for Luca to take and begins to walk towards the paints and balls, "Of course I came. I said I would. It sounds like Al tries to take good care of you."

He sat down by the glass orbs and paints, and picked up one of the balls, gently examining it. "Do you want to show me how you paint these?"

"He does! He made me a train for Christmas. The wheels move an' everythin'." Luca only let's go of Armand's hand once they've reached the glass, picking up one of the balls himself while sitting down next to him.

Next he grabs one of the brushes, dipping it in the paint. It's all fairly old and messed up. Luca had scrounged around to get things himself, not wanting to steal things from Ed or ask for them when he might use them later. The glass balls had been an especially lucky find, though they were all somewhat cracked in a way.

"It's easy! You just paint it however you like." He begins to try and paint the entire thing a basic white, though it had turned yellow tinted through a careless combination before. "Like this. When I was doin' it with Ed, I made snowflakes. But 'S not Christmas anymore, so I'm gonna make somethin' else."

As much fun as painting was, Ai did have to take a break every so often. These breaks usually consisted of wandering around the city in order to clear the paint fumes out of her system. This particular break involved her traveling to the park, one of her favorite places to travel to besides the mall.

Imagine her surprise when her eyes landed on a young boy. The youngest people she had encountered in Adstringendum so far were around her age, so she didn't think any children were in the city at all.

Blinking, a smile came to Ai's face. She walked over to where Luca was picking flowers. "Hello there. What's your name?"

[wishgrant]

He looks up quickly, instantly smiling right back. Carefully, he sortes through the flowers he's managed to father, before picking out a blue one and holding it out to offer to her. "Hello! I'm Luca. Who're you?"

[soothing_flame]

With a gracious smile, Ai accepts the flower from him. "My name is Ai. It's very nice to meet you, Luca."

[wishgrant]

"Have you ever come to the park before?" He settles back again, slowly laying the flowers out and trying to sort them by their colors. "I thought there'd be more flowers."
