Closed Finding Out Things

[Diamond Michaels]

Dia was sneaking off more and more on her own. She knew her mother knew exactly where she was but they both pretended that Sapphire didn't- the usual 'and where were you' conversation when she eventually slipped back home. Dia wondered what spell had been put on her for that to happen, but she wasn't old enough and Sapphire liked to keep her secrets. Still, she enjoyed being allowed out of the house by herself at all. Right now, she was at the park. Jett was probably back home buried in his books or some project, but she didn't mind, she'd go back and help him in a few hours. For now, she was standing on the swings, feet planted firmly on the seat and gripping the chains tightly, swinging perilously high for standing. It was a dangerous game and she loved it, laughing madly to herself as she flew high only to fall back.

"Dad, dadadadadadadadadad," it was the only way to really get his attention these days. His head seemed to be so in the clouds that sometimes Honey wondered if he even realised she was there. She sat up on the back of one of the benches, her feet up in the air. "Look, no gravity!" She tried to entertain him, to make sure that he was paying attention to her when she had the chance. After all, it wasn't every day that she got to spend with her dad like this. "Can we get the ice cream? You said that if we were in Takarokaro today you'd get it, do you remember?" She asked, sliding off of the back of the bench and tugging on his arm. She wasn't sure what he was distracted about, but she tried to follow his line of sight, seeing a young girl about her age, playing on one of the swings. Actually that looked kind of fun. She took off running in that direction. "Hi, I'm Honey."​

"Huh?" By the time he'd noticed that Honey was trying to get his attention, it was too late. He'd been distracted by looking at a girl who looked eerily familiar, though looking around didn't show Sapphire around, and that was worrisome. Why would Sapphire let her kids run around on their own? Chrys didn't have a lot to do with her kids for a lot of reasons if he was honest, and a lot of it was to do with him not knowing how to be a parent. He'd already f*cked up Honey royally, but he didn't really have any other options with her. She'd been dumped on him with no warning and he'd asked friends to look after her. Now she was back with him of course, but he still didn't do a lot of the raising, he... did feel a lot of ways about it, actually, and he spoke to Luna about it often, but as she'd said, they couldn't change the past. Dia and Jett, they at least had Sapphire, she was a lot better of a parent than he was. "Honey! No, come back what are you doing," dammit, she was fast.​

Dia spotted a girl running over. She slid down in a smooth motion, dropping one foot to drag on the ground and slow her down. By the time the girl reached her, she was only slightly rocking. "Hi Honey!" She greeted with a bright smile. "I'm Diamond- technically, but I like Dia," She held out her hand. "Do you wanna swing with me?" She asked, not noticing that Honey was with anyone right away. "We don't have to stand if you don't wanna but I like to," She gave her new friend a bright smile.

Honey watched the girl, the way she slid off the swings and dragged herself to a stop. It was pretty cool if she did say so herself. She came to a stop in front of her, a wide grin on her face at the potential to meet a new friend. She didn't get a lot of chances to meet new friends, because she was usually at the park at odd times, and other children were rarely here, because her dad didn't like coming in the peak times. "Hi Dia! I like your name, I don't really have a nickname but Molly calls me Hon sometimes." She didn't know if she liked it or not, but it was nice that someone liked her enough to give her a nickname at all, she thought. "Yeah, I can swing with you," she said, looking back for her dad. "Daddy! Can I swing with Dia?"​

He watched them closely, mostly Honey. Once he'd heard the other girls name though, and honestly it was pretty obvious who she was by looks alone, he knew that he had to let Sapphire know where she was. "Sure, Honey, just don't go anywhere, okay?" He didn't know what Dia was like, he didn't know her and a lot of that was definitely his fault. If he'd wanted to be more with the twins he knew he could have asked for it but he also didn't know anything about them, or how to even deal with that. It was one of those things that just sort of happened. He sighed heavily. Standing to the side, watching. He didn't know how to approach this, or even if he should. He was more likely to do more damage.​

Dia listened to Honey go on, considering what the girl said. "What about Honey bun?" She asked, though that made her a little hungry. "Or Bunny," She smiled, liking that one, but she looked to Honey for her opinion. She glanced up as a man- Honey's dad- approached, originally not intending to pay him much attention, but then she took a double take. "Hang on," She leant forward a little, squinting her eyes like it would help her see him better. "You... are familiar..." She spoke slowly, trying to place him. She thought she might have seen a picture of him? But not him... "Are you a celebrity or something?" she asked, thinking maybe that was it. Maybe she'd seen an old picture of him in a magazine or a paper or something.
