Before They Turn The Summer Into Dust

[Fawn Barrow]

[adminapproval=#11545036] Fawn Barrow held her father's hand and eagerly pulled him along, too anxious to go outside to be patient. She loved the outdoors, the sun, the bugs, the other animals. Her petite, slightly knock-kneed frame tugged and skipped, impatiently pulling at Akira, whom walked at his leisurely pace. She whined occasionally, but as the park came into sight she knew that he'd been trying to teach her something. What that was she had no idea. she continued to pull until they reached the edge of the park where some benches were, and Akira sat down.

He asked her to leave her toy fox with him, and told her to stay in his sight. Already though Fawn was too excited to run, and play, and climb. As soon as he told her she could go she made a mad dash for the nearest tree and climbed up to the first branch that she could. It had taken a very long time for her to stop climbing up so high that it frightened her father, but the young ginger did finally understand why he got so worried. However she was good at climbing trees! She just wasn't sure how to explain it. From where she sat the birds were louder, the sun seemed warmer. Already her shorts were covered in dirt and bark and it was lovely. The ginger woman hung a hand over the edge of the branch and as someone walked by she tapped them on the head. Her arm immediately came up to her and she laughed, the child ran off and she waited for her next victim, sure to bump them on the head from her perch as well.

Any GMing for Akira was approved by Tenilee

 

[Aaron Walden]

Since Aaron was the second oldest child out of four he was allowed more independence than most children of his age, and he wasn't complaining. He had got to know the streets of Brightstone quite well these past few weeks and knew most of the shortcuts around town. It was a nice day so he decided to spend some time at the local park. Aaron found the nearest tree and leaned on it as he surveyed the surrounding park, he much preferred observing people and watching events unfold rather than being directly in the action. Suddenly, he felt a someone touch his head. His instinctively went up to try and bat whatever it was away. He thought that maybe it was some kind of leaf or even a bird, but unfortunately it wasn't. He looked up to see what it was and he realised that it was a small girl who seemed to be hiding in the tree. "What was that for?" he shouted up to the girl, confused as to why she was tapping people on the head as they walked past.

 

[Fawn Barrow]

Fawn had tapped three separate people on the head before someone came along and actually asked her why she had tapped them on the noggin. Fawn's hand covered her mouth to hide her laughter. Fawn's large green eyes looked down on the boy, whom looked like he may be around her age, perhaps older. Fawn was a terrible judge of age, as she was very small for her year. It was from the malnourishment though she was told. It made no difference to her, it made it easier to hide.

The ginger haired woman weaseled her way down, jumping from the branch and looking at the kid in front of her. "For fun!" She spoke with a large grin splitting her face. "Tag!" She spoke before darting behind the tree and watching him to see if he would follow. Though Fawn was often temperamental, it seemed that with Akira's help she had become more accepting of other children - adult human's were a different story.
