A figure clumsily climbed the tall fence separating the flowing garden ahead from the main path. Hearing a sound a young Armond looked up from his book just in time to see a short white-haired girl jump down narrowly missing a bush. “H-hey! I don't think you're allowed to be h-here, this is private property, you could get in trouble!” Armond warned the girl, leaving his book behind on the table he cautiously approached her. “Don't worry, don't worry,” the girl winked, “As long as no one catches me I'll be just fine, right?” “I just caught you!” “Oh shoot, you're right! Please don't turn me in!” With an overly dramatic sigh the girl fell to her knees, “I'm too young to die!” “A-ah no one's going to kill you! I mean- I wouldn't- it's just a g-garden- you- and even then-” as Armond was fumbling for words the door to his house opened and an older man stepped out and walked over to the kids. “Armond? What's all this fuss out here about? Who's this?” The threat of death still imminent in his confusion Armond followed his natural instinct to protect the girl from the horrible dangers of trespassing. “Father! I uh- This is m-my… My friend! Uh-” “Sheliah! My name’s Sheliah Riandur! Nice to meet you.”

After Armond’s father had left Sheliah turned to him with a sparkle in her eyes, “Does this mean we're friends now? I've never had a friend before! What's your name? Oh, this'll be a ton of fun!” Armond sighed and nodded, “I-I guess so, I wouldn't want to turn what I said to my father into a lie…” recomposing himself Armond smiled and offered a hand for a handshake, “I'm Armond Eledar, I'll gladly be your friend. Just, don't go sneaking into people's gardens anymore, bad things will happen!”

Armond sat in his garden, reading a book. Hearing a sound, he looked up, just in time to see Shen fall flat on his back trying to climb the not-so-seemingly-tall-anymore-now-that-he-wasn't-a-young-child fence that separated his garden from the main path. He chuckled and, leaving his book behind on the table he approached Shen and offered him a hand to help him stand. “I told you Shen, bad things will happen if you try to sneak into people's gardens!”
