Ally giggled a bit and nodded. "Alright," she said quietly. She grabbed his hand and pulled him further into the park, looking for a place the dragon would hide her.

Antony grinend and let her pull him. Finally he met another friend. "Okay over there!" He said pointing to a big rock. "Can you climb up there?"

Ally nodded. "I think so," she said. She dropped his hand and ran around to the other side, trying to scramble up. She managed after a couple tries.

Antony grinned. "Princess!" He grinned. "Princess can you hear me up on that castle tower?!"

"Oh help me, sir knight!" Ally called back, although even her shouting was quiet. "The dragon's got me!"

Antony picked up a stick. "I'll save you dear Princess! I'll slay the dragon and save you!"

Nickoladze walked on the other side of the pond and smiled, pointing to his child for Lyra to see. "That's adorable."

Ally giggled a bit and sat on the rock, watching him.

Lyra looked over and smiled. "It is," she said quietly.

Antony pretended to have a fiecesome battle with a dragon, and he managed to almost get to Ally a few times. Finally, the dragon was 'dead' and Antony climbed up and sat next to her. "You have to kiss me now." He beamed.

Nickoladze smiled. "Do you know that girl?" He asked softly.

Ally giggled a bit and leaned over, quickly kissing his cheek. "Thanks for saving me," she whispered.

Lyra looked over and studied them for a moment. She nodded slowly. "I think so..." she said quietly. "She looks like... the carpenter's daughter."

Nickoladze looked over. "Carpenter hmm?" He whispered softly. He watched as Ally kissed his cheek and he chuckled. "They're getting along well."

Antony grinned and his cheeks were beat red. "You're welcome!" He laughed. "You wanna play hide and seek?"

Ally nodded, smiling. "You want to look or hide first?" she asked quietly.

Lyra smiled and nodded. "They're cute," she said. "Don't you think?"

"I'll hide!" Antony said with a grin. He lept off the rock without really looking and fell to his knees. He ran away. "Close your eyes!" He shouted as he ran toward some bushes.

Nickoladze smiled a little. "I'm glad he's found a friend."

Ally put her hands over her eye, sitting still on the rock and counting.

Lyra smiled and nodded, but she glanced up at him. "So... Lain's threat didn't... scare you away at all, did it?" she asked quietly.

Antony went to go hide in the bushed by the pond. Nickoladze could still see him but it was cute that he thought he was really hiding.

Nickoladze smiled a little. "Not at all. In fact its a motivator."

Ally counted for a little while longer before slowly dropping off the rock. She wandered around for a moment, but it wasn't long before she found him.

"Really?" Lyra asked, smiling a bit. "How so?"
