[Suddenly leans over her, close.] You shouldn't stare at the sun, you know.

[Sticks her tongue out at him.] But it's pretty and yellow.

And bright! And it can blind you if stare at it for too long. Especially up here.

[Shrugs.] That's okay. I'll manage.

[Frowns at her.] Okay, I'll just stay here. [And now he's just... looming.]

Phoenix! I can't see the sun through your big head!

[Grins.] But at least you're not going blind!

[Tries to push him away.] I need the sun!

[Tries to resist but since he's only balancing on his hands he ends up losing his balance and pretty much falling on top of her. He quickly pushes himself away from her though, now thoroughly embarrassed.] U-um sorry! I just lost my balance...

[Laughs.] It was my fault.

... [Decides not to argue and just rolls over onto his back so he's lying beside her.] You really shouldn't look at the sun you know...

Fine. I'll look at the clouds.

[Grins.] Clouds! Clouds are fun.

And pretty.

And fun! [Seems to be studying them for a while before pointing at a mass in front of them.] Look, it's a bear.

[Points at another mass.] Look! A puppy!

That's not a puppy... that's more like... [Tilts his head.] a squirrel choking on a carrot.

[Looks at him at that.] That's morbid!

[Laughs.] Not my fault that's what it looks like. [Then he seems to remember something and sits up sharply.] Mr. Squirrel! I forgot...

[Sits up too.] What now?

[Starts to get up.] I haven't visited him for ages! He must be wondering where I am.

[Gets up to.] A squirrel?

Yeah! He's a friend of mine. Kind of... I used to visit him every day but so much has been going on lately I haven't had a chance yet.

Well. Maybe we should go visit him!
