She looked up as well, not saying anything to the boy just yet.

*turns looking at the woman in surprise*

Something interesting up there?

Birds.

{She looks up as well.}

They're so beautiful.

Free.

It's why I like to watch them.

Do you ever wish you could be one of them. Just...get away from everything.

I can get away if I wanted.

You're lucky, then.

{She looked down at him sadly. He reminds her so much of Lonnie}

I guess. Sometimes I don't feel lucky.

What's wrong?

I don't like being different.

You seem normal to me.

But really? There's absolutely nothing wrong with being different.

I'm only normal sometimes.

This is a different kind of different.

What kind of different is it?

*the green of his eyes bled away, the iris yellowing becoming more feline*

{Her eyes widen, but she doesn't step back.}

Oh wow. That's...definitely not the kind of different I was thinking.

{She holds her hand out to him.}

I'm Tobe.

I'm Garrett. *shakes her hand* It's nice meeting you.

It's nice meeting you too, Garrett. Do you birdwatch a lot?

I like watching them.

So do I. The clouds too.

Makes my problems seem...smaller.

Makes all problems seem smaller.

Exactly.

{She looks down at him sadly}

If you ever need anything, I can try to help, you know.

Maybe, I don't usually need much.

Well, if you do. Just...let me know.

Ok Tobe I will.
