SCREW SPRING!!! It was the only thought rushing around Serilda's mind since the whole start of Spring season. As the rest of the birds were singing, chirping and mating about, the siren felt out of her wits! Every damn Spring, she had to prepare herself to stay indoors for weeks and sometimes even months at a time. A free bird having to cage themselves in - and all for what? Seri's curse, as she likes to call it, is pure and simple nature. The infuriating bird-like instinct to "build a nest and lay the egg" was driving Seri insane! Not to mention more noticeable changes in appearance. "THE FEATHERS!! THE GOD FORSAKEN FEATHERS!" Itchy, irritating and most of all... never-ending! It was like her body was betraying every logical thought in her brain. No, she didn't need to physically fly and around, singing out sickeningly sweet melodies that she didn't 100% mean... but the damn bird brain said so! Overtime, Seri learned to almost keep it under control, but not entirely. No matter how much she plucked them away, small soft feathers that lined against her cheeks, arms, sides of her torso, and legs always reappeared almost within a few minutes! In her earlier youth, the amount was much, much more dense.
After being a hermit for 4 weeks, Seri was finally stir crazy enough to venture outside. She hadn't so much as opened a window in her home, but the stagnancy was killing her. She couldn't take it anymore! The siren had waited until it was finally deep into the night. If there were less people out, then there was less of a chance of her acting on instinct and impulse. She got on the baggiest outfit she could, wrapped a scarf around her head, put on some shoes and took off! A night time run felt like the right thing. The cool night air filling her lungs as she started her mini marathon. Leaving the housing district, Seri made it into the park. She hadn't seen anyone around, so a quick bench break was needed.
A tired sigh flew into air. Her heart rate was up from the running, but she felt good for once. With her back leaned against the back of the wooden bench, Seri slowly placed her head back with eyes closed. The cool breeze against her skin was refreshing despite the itchiness from the feathers. Even with it being chilly, outside felt so much better than the stagnant energy around her home. The second spring was over, a deep cleaning would be IMPORTANT. The sheer amount of plucked feathers in her house was enough to run a pillow factory! "What a pain..."

Seri was oblivious to the commotion that was rushing towards. Being outside after a long hermit period was too enjoyable until she felt sharp claws climbing up and around her. "Nom de Dieu!! Jean, what the f- !" The siren cursed, finally having the clawed fuzzy ball in her grasp. She full-heartedly thought the cat was Jean being a menace, but to her surprise it was just a normal street cat. It's hair was sticking up on end, it's tail fluffed out twice its normal size, and eyes dilated like it just had seen a ghost. "Oh you're not... nevermind..." The random cat didn't leave too many scratches on her, but it definitely managed to pluck several of her feathers out. "Okay, shoo shoo!" Placing the scared feline down on the ground, it immediately took off the second it saw the giant black dog rushing towards them.
Bracing herself for the impact, Seri was a bit surprised when the dog back off quickly to get back to his handlers. Phew.. Thank god she wasn't flattened! Still, being clawed up and nearly trampled on was more excitement then sitting in the house. With the dog fully secured with the tall white-haired man, their companion came over with with apologies. Honestly, Seri couldn't help but laugh! Surprises like this made fun stories, no? "Oh, it's alright. A couple scratches aren't gonna kill me." Seri replied as she dusted off the fur and feathers off of her. "What's his name? I'm Seri, by the way." Judging from how quickly the dog responded to his commands, she knew how well-trained he was. But even well-trained dogs needed to be a little chaotic sometimes.

Just as she thought she was going to hear the epic story of Pancake, Laith's friend seemed to reel him back into the present. Boo!! She'd have to get the details later. "Pancake, huh? I thought he'd be a "Cerberus" oooorrr... Oh! "Harry Pupper"~ " A lame pun that was. Blame it on the forced isolation and bird season! Seri really had to brush back up on some people skills once the Spring was over. Still, despite the previous assault from a random street cat, this interaction seemed pretty nice. The siren was just about to ask more about Pancake when the distant sound of cawing started to grow louder and louder. Unknowing to her, Seri's crow friends saw her get clawed up and brought back some feathered reinforcements. It definitely wasn't something that she had trained them to do, but feeding the crows and birds meant having an avian defense fleet somehow...
A plethora of city birds: crows, pigeons, and even a few sparrows were rallied up in the near by trees. A racket of caws, angry chirps, and bellowing rustled the trees like an agitated bees hive. Seri had no clue a simple misfortunate event would get them riled up like that! Again, SCREW SPRING! The current season definitely had the birds much more irritated than usual. "Oh, damn it! These crazy puffballs!" She cursed under her breath as she had to flail and wave her arms about to even try to get their attention. "I'M OKAY! I'M OKAY!! GO BACK HOME TO YOUR EGGS OR SOMETHIN'!!!" After a few loud moments of yelling into the wind, the birds contemplated for a brief moment. To peck or not to peck? The long silence and response honestly had Seri worried. She didn't know how to defend off a whole flock so they didn't just peck everyone around to death. Luckily, once a few birds flew away, the rest had followed suit. No bird related injuries or casualties today!
Letting out an aggravated groan, Seri had started rubbing her temples to avoid the stress headache on its way. "Now I gotta apologize. I wasn't expecting a whole bird brigade to come down here... I gotta remember that though..." She'd probably use that new found alliance to help her on some mischievous days. If she could get birds to do her pick pocketing, life would be so much easier! "You don't have to worry about them coming back for you guys... I'll talk to them~ Apparently, I've been in this city long enough for the local bird population to take a liking to me. They're easy to bribe, surprisingly enough."

Unlike the other days of Mizuti 's daily training, this day she planned to meet up with her cousin. Like clock work, her cousin arrived at the appointed time. However instead of words both of them got into a fighting stance. Veronica pulled out a wooden katana while Mizuti pulled out two wooden curved blades, and they immediately when at each other. Their fight was almost like a demonstration of two different styles of sword plays. Both gracefully hitting swords between swords. Their fight was more of a dance, a display of two different cultures. They went at this for almost 10 minutes going at it like no tommorow, attracting any spectators going by

"Even though we may be born apart.."
══════════════════ Lilly gently dropped down from the money bars, knees hitting the dirty but like any child any pain that would have resulted meant little to nothing to the girl happily clad in her yellow coat. She stood proud at her own little show "Invincible!" she would yell happily and look around for her friend. She was glad to have been allowed to make one since moving there. She had even made a gift for him in the form of a portrait though she planned to give that to him later. She had spent plenty of time on it but for now she just wanted to play around of course. Two watched from a distance, resting on a bench near by to make sure the kids didn't hurt themselves. This place was safe, but he preferred the safety an ever watchful eye could provide. Lily was happy and so he was but he did find himself being around people far more often than he would have liked. He would look to his phone every now and then, merely checking the news as he did so before he would look to the boy's mother. He couldn't even recall who had initiated this particular hang-out, but no matter. He would just wave to Lily to motion to her to be careful but as with any child...that was basically relative even at her age. A few cuts and bruises meant nothing if they didn't fully feel it. ══════════════════ "...we'll always be in this together."

It was another play date for the kids, and even though Nico felt extremely tired and a little hungover from her busy work shift the previous night. Some knuckle-head with deep pockets reserved one of the VIP sections at the club, so Nico and a few other dancers spent most of their time entertaining them. The money was definitely good but it left the single mother running on a low battery. "Oi, Desi! Don't run too much or your asthma will flare up!" Nico called out to her son as she sat on the nearby bench next to Two. In hand, she had a small drink carrier with two coffees and two kids' hot chocolates. On the way to the park earlier, she had made a quick pit stop at a near by café to grab some drinks. Nico needed the extra caffeine to keep her up and she figured a Two and Lily would've wanted a little something too, just in case. "Morning, Two. Coffee?" Nico greeted as she passed over a nice hot coffee to him.
Meanwhile, Desi followed Lily's lead and joined her on the monkey bars too. He tried to make it all the way across but lost his gripping and fell on the ground. As a kid does, he bounced back up and laughed. He loved the park! His baby blue eyes caught sight of the swing set behind them before waving at Lily to flag her down. "Wanna go on the swings? They've got a big tire one that's fun to swing AND spin in!" The boy pointed over to the big tire. It was big enough for the two of them to go on. Excitedly, Desi scurried over to it to give it one good test swing. It spun round and round without much resistance. He immediately climbed right in, waiting for his friend to hop in with him.

"Even though we may be born apart.."
══════════════════ Two looked over to Nico and nodded his head as he took the hot coffee she offered though his face was as stony and relaxed as usual "Thank you." he said bringing it up to take a small sip. He watched the young ones for a moment before looking down into the cup "It feels...nice today." though it was set to rain later and tomorrow so the kids having a chance to be out and play for now was a good thing. It also meant he could focus a bit more on his work since people didn't typically care too much to shop for new things when the rain was coming down. The older man would take a deep breath "You...rest well?" he asked her in an attempt to make small conversation though he was still not quite used to it. They had run into Nico and Des enough that he did feel some level of comfort in speaking with the young mother while they kids did the bulk of friendship making. Lily smiled brightly at Desi "Yeah! I've never been on one of those!" she shouted happily throwing her hands up and following, She watched him with those big mirror-like brown eyes as she got even more excited watching it move around. She waited for him to get in before climbing in with him. Plenty of playgrounds in China not any different but she didn't really see the tires much if at all. She was ready to have fun though hanging out of one of her coat pockets was a pad that she used to paint the things she saw ready to come loose quite soon. ══════════════════ "...we'll always be in this together."

Bringing the coffee cup to her lips, Nico took a large swig. The fresh and hot brewed coffee definitely helped energize her battery a bit. "It's nice for now. I'm just glad it hasn't rained yet." Although, a little nap later when it rains sounded like pure bliss. Her bed was definitely calling her name once the kids got to get their energy out. "Heh, I wish. I had a long night at work and I haven't had a chance to really sleep yet..." Nico replied as a yawn slipped out right after. As tired as she was, Nico wasn't going to complain. Desi was having plenty of fun with his friend, so the young mother didn't mind. Watching the kiddos from their sitting place, a soft smile appeared. She was grateful that her son had a close friend to play with. It wasn't like he didn't make any friends in school, but it was refreshing to see how well those two connected and pretty quickly too. "What about you? Anything new going on with you or Lily?"
"It's your first tire swing? I can make it spin real fast, so hold on tight!" Holding onto the sturdy chains that held the tire up, Desi was about to start twisting the swing in order for it to spin super fast. However, curiosity got the better of him as he caught a quick glimpse of the drawing pad that was nearly out of Lily's jacket pocket. "Wait, what's that? Might wanna make sure that's in the pocket all the way so it doesn't fly out!" He'd feel bad if Lily's drawing book fell out into a puddle mid tire spin.

"Even though we may be born apart.."
══════════════════ "Ah. That is something...you and I...share." though he was better at getting rest now that his daughter had learned to be a bit less destructive while she was not being supervised he often found himself stay up anyway just to keep an eye on the little creature. He wasn't as tired however thanks to his own condition but he understood that as a parent. He was content though watching the kids enjoy themselves. He looked to her "Clothing approvals." he said speaking fairly shortly on his own projects which was still the same fashion job she knew of. He looked to Lily "Preparing Lilly for first...grade soon." which was an interesting prospect if a bit worrisome. He was at least sure she could make friends. Lilly nodded her head and was even more excited to go very fast. She took hold of the chains as she prepared but then Desi noticed something. She looked confused for a moment before looking around for a second and she noticed her notepad. She excitedly pulled it from the coat pocket and held it up excitedly "My drawing pad!" she sang and then suddenly distracted from the excitement of the swing she moved to show him what she was working on during those long quiet nights. It was a picture, made up of many colors and numbers. It would look chaotic to anyone not looking closely but there was a definite order to Lily's madness. She smiled brightly and began to point "See its yoooou, and meeee, and Bàba, and your Māmā." pointing to Nico for a moment. It was an illustration of her sight and sense with everything being made of little numbers and elements to form quite coherent pictures though specific combinations and placement for shapes. They looked really good showing the skill she had accrued through sleepless days and nights. Lily and her father shared part of their blue numbers but the other half of her was unfilled. Unfilled Boxes only hung there as well as a blank outline of what would be her mother if she knew anything about her. It wasn't as though she didn't know the numbers and colors but she just didn't fill them in. Nico and Desi shared their silver numbers of course, but there was something odd. Desi shared Two and Lili's Blue Numbers. She just kept the smile on her face hoping her friend would like it. ══════════════════ "...we'll always be in this together."

"Aww~ First grade already? Nico cooed taking a quick glance back over to the kids. Lily seemed very bright for her age and very outgoing. "I wouldn't worry too much - she'll do great. I remember balling my eyes out when Desi was headed to kindergarten for the first time. They grow up fast." Even though they were very young now, Nico couldn't help but still see her son as a baby. That'll probably never change even in the far future when he'd finally be a grown man. Nico's only hope would be that he'd never had to experience hardships like she did growing up. She wanted him to be a kid for as long as he could.
Watching as Lily opened up her drawing pad to show her latest drawing, Desi looked over it in awe. She definitely had her own style, but he liked it a lot. The combination of numbers and colors intrigued the boy and peaked his curiosity. He took note of the color scheme Lily and her dad had in her drawing, and also took in him and his mother's own numbers and colors. But... why did he also have some of the same blue hues? He didn't know much about his dad - Nico always had shut the convo topic down whenever he had brought it up.
In the midst of Desi studying the drawing, he forgot that he was keeping the tire swing from spinning. His grip loosened unintentionally and the wound up tire swing began spinning rapidly like he had originally had planned. "Whooooa-!" The momentum of the swing had caught him off guard and with his grasp loose it launched the poor boy onto the ground pretty hard. "Ow, ow, ow!" Desi landed on his knees and palms. He wasn't hurt too bad, but the scraped on his hands and knees stung.
It didn't take Nico a second longer to dart over to the kids when Desi had gotten thrown from the swing. "You guys okay?" Mama bear looked over the two checking them for any more injuries. Luckily for Desi, it was just something superficial. No broken bones or knocked out baby teeth yet. "You gotta be a little more careful next time, baby..." The mother warned as she pulled a small on-the-go first aid kit to clean up and bandage Desi's scrapes and cuts. As she was tending to him, Desi took the opportunity to ask about the drawing. "Why am I blue, too?" While the question was in reference to what Lily showed, it was targeted to his mother.
