The wind blew cold through the trees of the park, making the leaves sway with the breeze. It was around dusk and Zander had decided to go out for a walk. He had felt quite bottled up lately, and thought that maybe what he needed was just a nice stroll with the cold breeze blowing on him to wake him up and get him back into motion.
He walked silently and slowly along the cement path through the park, just looking around, watching the leaves on the trees blow around. He looked up to the sky, letting the breeze blow coolly over his face. As he looked up, he saw light blue and white orbs descending down. He wondered who it could be, there were many people that he had met that had the ability to orb. He hoped that it would be one of them. [/color]

As the orbs descended and gradually formed a body, Henry's body formed as he brought up his arm and rubbed his forehead. He dropped himself down on the bench exactly behind him after he Orbed. Things were starting to get a little despressing at the Manor and Henry wasn't going to stay there. He breathed in and out thinking over....... over "things" he dearly missed having around. As he thought this, he propped his back on the bench and his teary eyes were appearing once again.

As the orbs slowly formed a person, Zander was really hoping that it was someone that he knew. But once they formed, he did not know the person, though he did look oddly similar to two people that he had met recently. Zander was going to say hi, but then he noticed that tears seemed to be forming in his eyes. He walked over slowly and sat down on the bench. He looked over to the guy and spoke softly. "Are you alright?" He asked. [/color]

Thinking over all the sadness in his life, Henry was even more depressed than ever. It was something no family should ever experience. And that was it: if it weren't for magic, then no family would ever have to suffer under something like this. With thos depressing thoughts in mind, Henry no doubtedly thought about abandoning magic.
And that was when he heard a voice closeby. As Henry looked up to witness the stranger, he wiped off his forehead and eyes and replied, "Yeah sure...... why wouldn't I be?"

Zander shook his head lightly, smiling. You know, sometimes guys were just too stubborn for their own good. He understood because he was like that sometimes too, but it really made it difficult when they were actually trying to help someone. "You cannot seriously have just asked that question," he said. "I was right here when you were just almost crying," he added. He could tell that something was seriously wrong with this guy, and he was trying to lighten the mood. He hoped that that was a good idea. Because sometimes people just needed to cry for a while or something, and maybe this was one of those cases. [/color]

Henry was just gonna argue about that... that was his usual stubborness. Just like him mom... but thanks to those sad memories... that wasn't gonna be the option at that point in time. He sighed and looked at the stranger... he looked a bit strange.. and young too. "It's nothing you can help me with," he told him.

Zander shook his head lightly. There was that stubborness again. It was really difficult to help people when they were like that. He turned to the guy, acting kind of hurt that he assumed that he couldn't help him. "How do you know that? You don't even know who or what I am. You don't know that I wouldn't be able to help," he said, in a voice that showed that he might be kind of hurt. He knew that this guy must be hurting, so he didn't sound too hurt in his voice because he knew that that would just make it worse. [/color]

"Look, I'm sorry. You can't help me. Someone.. well.. mor than just one.... they were really close to me.. and they died..... can you help me now?" Henry was rattled with emotional pain.. so his outburst wasn't like him but due to his pain, that was the resulting remark. As he told the stranger his problem, he sighedand looked back down at his feet.

Zander had finally gotten something out of him. Yes, it was a snappy remark that could have been worded a little bit nicer, but at least he told him what was wrong. "Yes, maybe I can help you," he said lightly, not looking at him because Henry wouldn't look at him either. "My mom died, I know what it's like," he said, a little bit stronger. He had learned that one of the best ways to help people through hard times like this was to be able to sympathize with them. It really made them feel like they were not alone going through this.

"I'm fine.. I just need to let it out sometimes..... I'm sory for snapping at you," Henry replied when he heard about his mother. The las tthing he wanted to think about now was his other sister or mother dying too. Feeling soemwhat better with less worry about his torubling thoughts, he looked up at the guy again and actuall grinned a little bit. "I'm Henry."

Zander smiled now, he could see the improvement in Henry's attitude already. It definately did help to know about other people who have gone through what you have too, he knew that for a fact. "I'm Zander," he said, a grin on his face as well. "And don't worry about it. I can be a little bitchy at times too," he said, chuckling slightly. He also knew that at the right time, cracking jokes helped a lot, because then it would remind you that it was okay to be happy. [/color]

"Right," Henry said in a jokingly way with a grinning expression on his face. It was really cool that Zander wanted to cheer Henry up and the cool thing about it was that it was working. Meeting up with someone really gets your mind off of problems. He made some room on the bench justin cast Zander wanted to sit. Since Wyatt and Chris moved out, there wasn't anyone to talk to much really. Technically, he was the only boy in the Manor. "Thanks for the cheering."

Zander smiled lightly, sitting down on the bench beside Henry. "It's no problem," he said lightly, the smile not disappearing from his face. He liked cheering people up, because it made him feel good too. "So... what's your last name. If you don't mind me asking?" He asked lightly. He hoped that he didn't mind, because he didn't want this to turn into an awkward situation or anything. [/color]

"Uhh.... Halliwell-Mitchell...." Henry answered. He had to admit it was a little weird to ask his last name but he didn't see any harm. If anything, his instinct would kick in. Henry yawed suddenly and looked around the Park. Nothing seemed weird or extraordinary... for once. Henry wondered if Zander was a magical being at that point.

Zander smiled lightly when Henry said his last name. He could tell that he thought it was an odd question, but hey, did you ever really know someone if you didn't even know their last name? And boy there were a lot of Halliwell's around this town. "Wow, another Halliwell," he said lightly, a small smile on his face. It was the sixth one that he had met already, and he had only been in town for a few weeks. And it was the third that he met just out around town. [/color]
