"Probably figured you were having fun on your own." said Alex reasonably, watching as Arthur left his position, flying lazily over the valley.

"Well, I was… Yet I want to go back and watch the fish…." He said sheepishly. "I'm getting a little… Woozy up here."

Alex nodded, "I can take you back to the river," he said, gently, "If you'll let me"

"Oh, yes!! That'd be wonderful!…. Only if I don't get to be there by myself…" Tobias said, rubbing his slightly achey head.

"I'm not going to leave you to get lost ok?" he said gently, standing to lead Tobias back down the path.

"That sounds reasonable," Tobias replied, following Alex. "I mean… Megan says I tend to do weird things, even when I'm not supposed to, and it's the weirdest thing….."

Alex laughed, "Everyone does that sometimes." he said,

"But…." Tobias frowned, "One time I… I walked away from home because… Something was giving me stress, and I blacked out. Next thing I know, I wake up and Megan says I blacked out and got kidnapped!!" He wailed. "I don't know what went on, but she doesn't tell me…." And I don't want to know….

Alex blinked in surprise, making a mental note to ask Skye what had happened. "Hey… I'm sure you'll be fine ok? And to be quite honest you're not the only one who's done that…" he said sheepishly.

He glanced at Alex, worried. "I'm just afraid I'm something people are fighting over! And I'm no thing… I'm a person – a living being… Just like you."

Alex nodded, "Well of course you are." he said, "Though people sometimes fight over people the way they do objects."

"But why? It's not rational…." He said quietly. "It doesn't make sense…" Or at least not a whole lot, anyways.

"Well most times it's because people care about each other, more specifically when two people are in love with the same person." said Alex, "Or if two people dislike each other, but love someone who is friends with both."

"Yeah… But I wasn't sure who else wanted me…" Tobias sighed depressively. I guess that really doesn't matter, though…

"One way or another it's over now." he said, "So how about we go see those fish hmm?" he said, finally coming off of the spire's rock base.

"Oh! Of course!" Tobias smiled brightly, all too eager to go see the fish. Just don't fall in or Alex will have a panic attack when he sees you… Twitch…

Alex smiled, leading Tobias off into the woods, shifting instinctively.

Tobias was a bit startled when he shifted, but went along with it. It's their thing, I guess… I shouldn't put it too much into question….

Alex watched him for a moment, before padding off towards the river.

Tobias saw that they were coming up on the river, and he bolted to the bank and crouched down, getting extremely close to the water to get the best look at the swimming fish. They're just so cool….

"Careful you don't fall in" said Alex padding up next to him, his claws digging in to the edge of the bank.

“Oh, I know….” Tobias muttered absentmindedly, watching the fishies in the water — swirling and swimming around with the flow. They’re just so cool…. I never want to leave this place….

Alex shifted smiling as he watched the boy. He sighed, knowing that he'd missed quite a lot of his own son's life. Eventually he lay back, pulling out a cloth and a strange looking flute, cleaning and polishing it quietly.

Tobias reached out and put his hand into the water, gracefully touching a fish as it swam by. “I want one….” He said slowly and quietly.

(I’m imagining these fish are like Koi fish, just a heads up, if that’s alright)

(No worries! I haven't really done much so far as wildlife.)
Alex laughed, watching Tobias. "Unfortunately we don't have a place for you to keep one"
