The Power To Be Dealt With! Closed!

Wesley stopped looking at Eli from where she was. Of course, she thought. She liked talking to Eli, but she also felt like she was being a burden and she didn't want that. She sighed a little as she silently walked over to them, chewing on her bottom lip. Wesley looked herself over. She had put a hair tie around the top of the sweats to hold them up and one on the shirt so it didn't look so big on her. "I'm sorry about them," she said quietly, taking Tilly off of Eli's shoulders, her arms brushing against him slightly. Wesley chewed at her lip again, putting Tilly down.

"Oh it's fine." Eli replied. He looked down at his sister who was happily playing with Sam. She looked happy and content and probably wouldn't mind if he talked to Wesley. "How are you?" He asked casually. He kept his gaze on Liz and Sam.

[OMG so sorry I haven't replied until now...don't be mad...Haha...]

[angeldoll090]

((No worries. I'm not mad at all.))

Wesley looked at Eli. "I'm good, I guess," she replied looking down at the ground. "You?" Wesley played with the end of her shirt, thinking. "Did you get me note?" she asked.

[OutFoxed]

"That's good. Yeah," Eli paused momentarily. "I got your note." He kept his eyes focused off in the distance. He didn't consciously know it, but he was staring toward the river. Lizzie looked up at her brother. "We don't have to go for a while do we?" She asked. Her sweet innocent young voice conveyed her desire to play with the animals longer. "Well it's up to Wesley." Eli replied. Lizzie looked at Wesley and crossed her fingers.

Sam and Tilly looked at Wesley, pleading with her to stay and let them play longer. Wesley turned her eyes to Lizzie and then to the animals again. She couldn't say no to Lizzie. She looked so cute and she didn't want to disappoint the little girl. "Go ahead. We won't be leaving for a while anyway," Wesley told her with a smile. She looked at Tilly and Sam who rejoiced and went back to playing with Lizzie.

Lizzie smiled widely when Wesley said they could continue to play. She did a small dance and went back to playing. "Lizzie, what do you say." Eli asked her sternly. "Thank you." She replied quickly to Wesley. Eli laughed and ran a hand through his hair. "Would you like to go over to that bench over there so we don't have to stand?" He asked Wesley. The bench in question was a wooden slat bench with worn black metal bases that curved up with the back of the bench to form arm rests on either end of the bench.

Wesley smiled down at Lizzie. "Your welcome," she said softly before looking at Eli. "Sure," she answered him and walking with him to the bench. She sat down on one end, keeping herself from coughing and all the other symptoms of being sick. Wesley hoped his sister hadn't noticed that she was wearing Eli's clothing. She would feel even more awkward if she did.

[OutFoxed]

Eli sat down on the worn bench in the shade of the tree nearby. He watched his sister play with the animals. She would bark at Sam and meow at Tilly. He chuckled to himself as she reminded him of himself when he was her age. She pranced around, twirling. A bird chirped and she tried to imitate it. Eli almost forgot that Wesley was sitting next to him except for a soft cough that had escaped through her lips. "How are you feeling?" He asked her without taking his eyes off Lizzie.

Wesley watched Eli's sister play. She wished her own sister was with her some of the time, but she didn't even know the where abouts of her. She knew where her other siblings were, but they never visited. They didn't even know she lived in a small shack with nothing really. Her parents didn't even know where she was, but they didn't care. Wesley watched his sister still wanting her desperately. It would be nice to hang out with some one again. Her attention was quickly taken back by Eli, who also seemed to forget about her being there. "I'm fine," she replied with a small smile. Wesley didn't look at him, too worried to. She wondered what he thought of her.

[OutFoxed]

"Oh." His voice quiet. He stared off into space. Naturally his gaze was off toward the river as if a magnet pulled him towards the flowing water. "Umm, that's good." He leaned back in his seat and stretched his legs out. Lizzie skipping from one spot to the next. Sometimes she hesitated for a moment, leaning her weight back with her arms out behind her, before she jumped as far as she could. At one point she had pushed as she could off the ground and stuck her arms out to the side and loped around as if she was flying. She 'landed' on the other edge and continued on skipping from one spot to the next.
