Who: Adair, Caden and Zosimus
When: Late Afternoon
Where: Outside Adair/Caden/Sheldon residence
What:...not exactly the best role models..(Adair at least, lol)

Adair and Caden probably..weren’t the most mature of men. Not many men in their twenties sword fight outside their cottage for reasons not particularly important. Not to mention they weren’t even metallic swords. They were wooden swords given by Aveira who refused to give them normal swords because she didn’t want to be responsible for missing body parts. Adair was better than Caden (so he said), so Caden would be more screwed over than he would be.

“If I win this match-“ Adair began, out of breath. He was a smoker. Running across the cottages would be a task. So this event was just as harsh on the lungs. “You give me my bong back!” First Sheldon stole his ‘precious’ now Caden took it from him. Only thing was he wasn’t sure if Sheldon had the same means as Caden. “Seriously, the grass cures the headaches!”

The psychic attempted to trip Caden really not thinking that their immature behavior was visible to many.

Maturity was for suckers. Caden honestly didn't care if sword fighting with wooden swords outside their cottage was childish because it was as fun as hell. Sure, his best friend was a little better at fighting than he was, but that meant he was going to try his best. "Fine, but if I win, I get to keep it for a couple more weeks!" he said with a grin. "Maybe I can massage your head to help you with your headaches. But Cara-Jane will probably get to it before me." He brandished his sword in front of Adair and swung it to clash it against his friend's.

Caden dodged the potential tripping with a laugh and lunged forward to pin Adair against a tree. Oh yeah, he was so going to win this battle. "Sorry, Fally, but you're going down," he said and tickled the other man's sides. "And you have to guess the password." Poor Adair was in for a hard time, because he'd never guess it as far as he knew. The smirk on his face was positively large. "You're going to loooose!" Now, just to make things worse, he grabbed Adair and tackled him to the ground.

"You still haven't given me back my magazines, you dirty sod!" he said. "I've had to resort to using that picture of Sarah Pibbler from when I was fifteen and I feel all pervy now. I don't want to jerk off to fifteen year old girls! Or if it was Sheldon and not you, I'll have to teach the bastard a lesson." He was only being playful, because it wasn't so important in the scheme of things.

There were a lot of words being thrown around that Zosimus heard and had no idea what they were, what they meant. Hm. They confused the boy as he slowed his gallop to a stop and circled the perimeter. They looked like they were having fun, that was for sure. So for the moment he didn't care that he had no idea what they were arguing over. Sword fights were fun! He stepped sideways and hid behind a tree to watch, eyes twinkling with a smile on his face.

When they approached the tree he had been hiding behind, he tried to trot away. Not fast enough. Making a face the centaur figured he'd just round about and hope no one saw him. They were talking about magazines, another thing Zosimus didn't know of. Books, sure. Texts, same goes. But magazines and other such reading materials were above his head. Also, he had to wonder what a sod was. That other man, clearly. But then words graced his ears that may as well have shattered his mind. Jerk, not nearly as bad, and bastard, a word he was told may as well have been a sin.

"You shouldn't swear like that," said the brunette boy as he backed up quickly to put space between himself and the fighting adults.

Adair made a face when he heard a kid pipe up about swearing and put his sword by his leg before he flipped it into the air idly. He figured it was perhaps a new kid living in the neighborhood who didn't exactly appreciate the words that he overheard. Okay, that was fair enough. He needed a cigarette break anyways. The psychic may as well light one up while he apologized to the kid.

He lit up a cigarette and turned towards the stranger with bug eyes. "HOLY FUCKEN STARS A CENTAUR!!" He played with his lighter in his hands like a hot potato because he burned his hand when he saw the kid. "Dude...awesome." He then shifted his eyes in embarrassment. "And double sorry for the cursing. I've just never seen such an awesome thing before, kid."

Adair loved Lord of the Rings and such things so seeing a creature that resembled fantasy creatures was a dorks best thing. He heard centaurs were rare, so to him this was all a big deal. Though he was sure a kid wouldn't say it..he probably was making an ass out of himself. He was awesome at that.

Caden stopped as he heard someone speak and looked up to see who it was. His fancying a Faun had opened his mind up to the fact that there were creatures who looked human on top and animal on bottom and so his reaction was less enthusiastic than Adair's. Instead, he saw a young boy and a sudden urge to corrupt him was overwhelming. "We can fucking curse all we want," he said and reached out to grab Adair's cigarette for a second to inhale a drag. "It puts hair on our chests. Considering how much hair you have elsewhere, I don't think you need any more."

He furrowed his brow in thought. "Do you ever get the urge to eat hay or grass? You know, I've eaten grass when I was five and found it a bit dry for my liking," he said. "Dirt was much better. But I was three at the time." He smirked and poked Adair's side. "By the way, Fally...I win." Why? Because he said so. "And you better just shut up and fucking accept it, because otherwise I can't make you my awesome pancakes and lather them with syrup the way you like. Syrup fights are the shit, you know." He glanced at the centaur and grinned. "When you grow a bit older, you'll find them much more appealing."

Zosimus looked at Caden with a somewhat deadpan expression. He was very offended and not amused in the slightest by this man's sudden crudeness. If he was told it was bad to swear he was going to believe it. So he stared at Caden, unblinking, a frown on his usually smiling face. Had Ath Dara heard his words she would have been most unhappy with him, but she was not here so her opinion mattered not. Instead there was a young lad so impressionable. Yet he would not be corrupted that easily.

"You're mean," accused Sims as he pointed a finger at him. He chose to ignore Adair's swears because he had apologized and seemed much nicer. And what was this hair business? Zosimus was part-horse, he needed that hair to keep him safe! Caden had such little hair he'd have to do a lot more swearing to catch up to a mere child. From where the centaur stood, he was more manly than Caden.

"We don't eat grass or hay," stated the boy. He trot forward to Adair and hid behind him. "Why is your friend so mean?" he asked curiously from behind his curtain of brown fringe. "Is he always that mean?"

Adair turned his head back towards his shoulders, trying to speak to the boy without trying to uncover him. He answered the question cautiously. “Well..” he began while grinning towards Caden. “He has his moments of being an..” Okay, he was learning slowly now. Don’t swear. There were other ways to speak towards the youngling without cursing. “Of..of being mean. But otherwise he is a pretty cool guy. I guess he is being more than a little arrogant right now. Maybe he expected to win our sword fight.” He stated with a smirk. “At least fairly under terms that count.”

He fully turned towards the stranger and leaned towards his level with a kind smile. “I am Adair..of course I am also sorry for my weirdo reaction towards you. It just means that I find you super cool. I know my reaction makes it seem horribly opposite, but trust me..You are super cool in my books and I don’t even truly know you yet. “ he motioned towards Caden. “The so called ‘meanie’ is Caden. Once he settles down..You will find him to be pretty darn cool. Be glad a guy named Sheldon isn’t here. He is the worst of us all.”

Caden snickered at being insulted. It was hard to take such a boy like that seriously and he hummed a little to himself as he took the two wooden swords, starting to juggle them. A drunk juggler had given him a lesson with much swearing and alluding to the pins being parts of anatomy, and Caden was pleased that he wasn't too shabby at it. "What are you talking about, Adair? I'm always cool," he said. "And expected to win? Methinks you're the one being a little arrogant." He let the two of them talk for a bit while he continued to juggle the swords, and practiced throwing them into the bark of the tree.

Hm, he failed the first time; they bounced off the tree and flopped to the ground. He went over and picked them up, walking back to the other two as he heard something about Sheldon. "He's only the worst when there's a woman involved. And I don't think he'd sully the innocent ears of a young thing like him intentionally," he said. "The words will just slip out of his mouth." He grinned and leaned over to ruffle the centaur's hair. It was almost funny that he seemed to be feared - like he was Cadzilla or something. "Come on, Adair, let's do something fun!"

Looking in to Adair's face and very pure eyes, Zosimus nodded. He could accept that answer, giving a small smile back to show it. "I'm Zosimus, and it's okay. A lot of people here make weird faces when they see me, I don't know why," said the boy as he shuffled on his hooves. He jumped up once, standing more than six feet at that point before returning to his natural five foot stance. Having no idea who Sheldon was, though understanding he was a swearing kind of guy, Zosimus let that pass. For the moment he had no questions and only listened to the men exchange words, eyes moving from one to another as they spoke.

Caden was doing something silly with the wooden swords. Didn't he know they'd never stick in the tree? Even Zosimus knew that! He laughed.

"What are you going to do?" asked the centaur as Caden spoke to his own friend. A subconscious part of the boy said that he shouldn't have asked, that he should have said goodbye and run off. Yet he hadn't, he couldn't. He was too curious.

Zosimus seemed very cool for a kid. Kind of like he could fit in with the adults easily without being a pest . He remembered working with a kid at the record store and knowing the kid was going to tell on him if he even slipped a swear word out just once. This kid seemed pretty okay with forgiving and forgetting. Adair gave his best friend a look, then looked back towards the centaur. “I think we should ask Zosimus.” He stated seriously. “We haven’t really met you truly yet, kid. By the way it’s nice to meet you.”

He wondered what they could do. Maybe take a walk? Sword fight? There had to be something they all could do that would pass as fun for all of them. As long as it was appropriate for Zosimus. Adair was surprised and somewhat proud of himself that he wasn’t smoking infront of the boy.

He had grown up taking care of his sisters and considering that, Caden did not want to spend time with children more than necessary. Which wasn't to say he disliked them, because tykes were fairly cute when they were younger. The centaur kid unfortunately reminded him a little of a boy he knew in elementary school and was almost creepy with the stares. "You can't be serious," he said. "We've got other things to do besides babysitting little boys. Look, he probably doesn't even want to play with humans. Centaurs are probably xenophobic too, who knows."

Call him just a bit paranoid now. He stepped forward to poke Adair in the side. "Have fun playing." He wasn't blind; it was obvious that the situation was better if he left and so he saluted both of them before turning to head back for the cottage to do something. What it was, he had no idea yet, but it had to be more enjoyable than someone staring at him. That brought back memories he had no intention of replaying.
