Aiden snifled quietly trying not to reveal his hiding spot. He was usualy quite bold but at this moment he was just missing his mother...

Seeing that if he didn't want to be found he wasn't going to be the girl sighed. Turning back towards the bustle of the market the girl decided perhaps it'd be best if she just went home.
"Oi, if you don't want to go back to your Aunt's yet, I live just up that hill over there," Like he'd even come, but if he was going to stick around she certainly didn't want him out here. Sooner or later he'd be caught, and wouldn't that be a mess.

Aiden thought of his chambers overlooking the eastern cloud fields and stumbled his way into the open. "You mean I can come?!" he demanded. "You don't hate me? you don't think we're pittable?!?" He was staring at her like she'd grown another head, which as far as he figured would be far less odd.

"Yeah sure, and I don't hate you," Slate said with a sigh. "C'mon let's go before we're noticed, okay?"

Aiden stood up and picked Peoney up off his shoulder. "I'm fine now P" he said. "thankyou" He pulled his hair back over his left eye and the scar that marked it. "Okay Slate!" He said a little too loud, trying for his usual glee. "Lets go see your house!" He trotted up to the girl and ttok her hand. "Sorry for that." he mumbled as he kissed her hand and then blushing ran to the entrance while Peoney fley off to find a save place for inril to stay while aiden was with Slate.

Maybe this was a bad idea, but she found she preferred happy Aiden over sad Aiden. Slate blushed slightly when he kissed her hand, the unexpected contact of another person throwing her off guard. Thankfully he was running ahead by the time her blush was actually heating her face. Sighing she followed after him with a half smile.

Aiden stoped mid stride at the entrence and laughed so hard his sides hurt. The questioning glances he got from the croud only making it worse. He was gasping for breath and his eyes were watering. "For all the... fostering... about us living together..." he gasped. "I really... don't even know where your house is...." He sobered up a little. "This IS my first time even it earth territory you understand." he was now feeling a tad bit defencive. "let alone the city..." He laughed again. "Sorry, but you'll have to lead the way..." He looked back at her and smiled shakingly. "I'm really not suposed to be here." His smile wavered and tears reentered his eyes. He whiped his head around so she wouldn't see more. "so which way do we go?" He whispered, fingering his bangs again. (OOC: he does that alot. with the bangs over his scar... it's like a nervous or stress indicater... like biting rour nails or pulling on you shirt...)

"I'm a bit thankful that you don't know where I live," she said, walking past him with a smirk."I don't like a lot of people knowing, it makes me...nervous I guess."
She could hear his voice change, but figured there was nothing that could be done, perhaps he should just go home...It'd be safer that way. 'Sides Slate was sure a screw or two had come loose in her head.

Aiden smiled a little. "Well then, I guess you like me well enough if your agreeing to show me." He Said with pride. "I'm glad." He finally grinned normally and skipped to Slate's side. "So is it okay if Peanie comes too?" He asked hopefull. "She doesn't like the rain at all." He told her honestly gazing up at the cloudless sky.

Even if she didn't much like the bird, and had no idea what he was talking about, rain and all; she nodded briskly. Heading up a staircase that wound itself high into the air, little houses sprouting every which way, and laugher filled the air. The kids were playing again, that was good, it'd been a while since this district had been able to hear the laughter, genuine laughter, of the children that lived here.
"Miss Slate! Miss Slate!" One boy shouted, running along on wobbly legs across the bumpy path. The girl sucked in a breath as the blond about face planted into the ground. She caught him, scrapping their knees against the ground before righting the boy and looking at him in the eyes.
"Coro, why are you in such a hurry?" She asked, dusting him off and checking on his knees, they bled slightly, but the boy was none the wiser.
"He's here miss!" The boy said, slinging his arms around her neck playfully, a grin on his lips.
"Who?"
"Mister Puan, he's back," he grinned. "He's opened up his shop again!"

"Who?" Aiden asked Slate imediately. The picture of inocent confusion. He looked at the boy, "Hello there." He smiled. His tutored, rich guy accent badly coverd. "I'm Aiden." He allotted at the boys questioning look, kneeling down so that they were eye level. "I'm a friend of 'Ms. Slates'. What would your name be?" He looked at the boy who unlike everyone else saw a cool guy of about 19 hanging out with slate instead of a 14 year old kid with no idea what was going on. Aiden loved to play these tricks.

Coro looked up at Aiden, not noticing the guy before. He put a small fist to his mouth, looking him up and down with curious shaded eyes. Mumbling around his fist he replied. "Nice t'meetcha sir," he mumbled, continuing to look the strange man over. He hadn't really seen attire like that before...Strange. "I'm Coro I'm from this district..."
His other hand made a fist into Slate's robs, keeping her close at hand. It wasn't as if he really knew this guy, but he was a friend of Miss Slate...Miss Slate was nice. The boy decided to simply cling to Slate, and looked to her. She smiled, albeit weakly, but he took it as a good sign. Smiling behind his fist, he looked up at Aiden.
"It's nice to meet you!"

"You said that twice." He teased Coro like his uncle used to tease him. He smiled. He'd nearly laughed as the boy refered to him as 'Sir'.
He grabed slates hand "It was nice to meet you to Coro. Slate? we were going to your house?" He lifted her hand and kissed it like he did in the ally. all the while upholding his rich guy persona only to the boy.

The boy simply smiled, the first time he'd said it was unsure and worried, the second was honest and genuine. When he grabbed Slate Coro became worried again, but he was polite, that was good right? A frown creased the boy's soft face, but he consented, releasing her robes and taking a step back.
He almost giggled when he saw a blush hue across Miss Slate's face as her hand was politely kissed, not that just anyone could tell it was a blush, but Coro was a very perceptive child. Perhaps this guy, weird though he was, could get Miss Slate to open up a bit.
"Enjoy your stay sir!" he shouted as he dashed away on wobbly legs. Slate watched him go until he disappeared.
"So Mister Puan is back..." she commented softly, a calculating look in her eyes.

Aiden burst out in laughter as he droped his guize. "Sir" He gasped."He called me 'sir'!" He couldn't help but clutch at the skirts of Slate's robes to keep from toppling over.
He smiled as his laughter turned to giggles. "That was fun!" He told her. "Who was that kid?" He asked. "And who's 'Mister Puan'?"
