Liam was fine with leading the way. "Alright, let's go then." He said smiling. He grabbed Ren's arm and pulled him behind him, excited to get there. They weren't too far from the lake, as they approached a secluded alleyway. This was the shortcut. Liam didn't hear the person approaching behind them, as he slowed down a bit.

Liam wasn't sure what Ren wanted to see, so he wandered around. He wondered what was bothering the other male. Clearly, something was up. He sighed softly and glanced behind them, still unable to figure out why Ren was on edge. Liam ran a hand through his hair and picked up the pace a bit. "Do you wanna take a shortcut and head towards the lake?" Liam asked, changing his mind on what he wanted to do. "We can put our feet in the water!" He said excitedly, like a child on Christmas.

Liam pursed his lips slightly, confused, before moving on. "Alright then.." He said before shrugging. Liam thought for a minute before smiling. "Why don't we just walk around and sight see?" He asked, looking at Ren. He glanced behind them momentarily, still wondering about what had been bothering Ren earlier. Seeing nothing notable, he smiled and started walking. "Let's go!"

Despite how impossible it seemed, Liam grinned even more. "Yeah! I'd love to!" He said, almost cutting off Ren. He stood and picked up their garbage to throw it away, not noticing that the two were being watched. Although, he did notice Ren's behavior. "Is something wrong?" Liam asked curiously, unfazed by it.

Liam shrugged slightly. "I should've payed attention though." After a few seconds of contemplation, he grinned. "Well, it's all in the past now anyways. Let's forget about it." He suggested, and rested his head on his hands again. He looked Ren in the eyes, his grin getting brighter. "So, what now?"

Liam nodded in understanding. "Oh, okay." He said, before smiling again. "Of course! I'm having a nice time." Liam replied before eating a bit more of his food. He was surprised that Ren agreed to come, and even more surprised when he opened up a bit. "Sorry again for using my abilities on you..It was uncalled for, honestly." Liam apologized.

Liam shook his head immediately. "You're not!! It's alright." He said and smiled. "I'm sorry you had an argument like that. It must be hard..having abilities like those." He said trying to sympathize with Ren. He put his hands in his lap, and stopped eating for a bit. "Anything else?" He asked, waning Ren to continue venting if he needed to.

"Woah..really?" Liam asked. "That's so cool! But I can see where your problem is with it." He said, and paused to think for a moment. "How often do you use it?" Liam questioned. Yes, Ren's sister was right. He could use the ability for good, but there were several drawbacks to it. A part of Liam wished he had an ability like that, but he knew if he did he wouldn't want to use it either.

Liam stood next to Ren at the counter, and listened as he spoke. He smiled when their food was handed to them and led him to a table and chairs so they could sit. Once they were all set, he rested his head on his right hand. "Hm..What are your abilities?" He asked, confused. He ate some of his food, and sat up in his chair.

Liam smiled. "It's not too much trouble. Go ahead." He said, putting the coins in his pocket. He continued walking, and pointed at the stall he wanted to order food from. He listened to Ren as he vented, and waited for him to finish. He wanted to give the other boy advice, but he didn't want to push any boundaries. When Ren officially finished venting, Liam would ask if he could put in his two cents. He nodded every so often, and pointed at the menu for what he wanted to get so he wouldn't interrupt him.

oliver is a tan male, with almond shaped eyes. he has fluffy black hair that never seems to be styled the same way. overall, to the people around him his appearance is very disheveled. oliver often wears a goofy smile. he isn´t the type of person to stand out in the crowd. oliver is content with this. on the contrary, oliver's voice stands out the most. it is smooth, and almost always calm. he is a great singer, and his voice can create a haunting melody.

boring. that's how oliver has always perceived himself. despite this, oliver is a prankster and clown at heart, who really needs to learn when the right time to make a joke is. he's very laid back and at the moment, oliver is neutral when it comes to the false king, etc. he doesn't like to force his emotions on others, and rarely vents to people about how he feels. instead, he pours said emotion into his music. he talks to a lot of people, but considers most of them acquaintances. he has very few friends but he cherishes them greatly and considers them to be closer to family than his parents. oliver can get the attention of many when singing, and it's not simply because of his voice. his abilities plays a role into this but he's not sure what it is exactly. when singing, people will come from far and wide to listen, as if they were being lured to him. (like a siren?)

oliver was as the sole son of his family. due to this there was a lot of pressure put on him by his parents. his two older sisters were there for him most of the time, unlike his mother and father. he was expected to follow in his father's footsteps, and fight for the false king. oliver on the other hand wanted to be an entertainer or scholar. his parents weren't happy with this. throughout his childhood they'd berate him and put plenty of stress on him. he was thankful to move out when he was older, but his home was a terrible atmosphere to be in. oliver knew a few people at the time, but really only had one close friend. he understood oliver, and tried to help him in any way he could. he really only wanted oliver to thrive. when his parents caught word of this friend of oliver's, they refused to let oliver see or talk to him. his parents wanted to make his life a living hell until he would accept their wishes. when he moved out, oliver blossomed and was finally able to entertain people with his music.

Liam took the coins gingerly, before thanking him. He felt bad for having Ren do this. "Are you sure? It was my fault for running in to you.." Liam said, apologizing softly again. He looked at Ren's facial expression and gave him a questioning look. "Was it really that stupid? If you want to talk about it I'll listen. It's the least I could do, honestly." Liam insisted. While he was nosy sometimes, that wasn't the reason why he wanted Ren to vent. He seemed so upset, and Liam really wanted him to be happy. After all, he was nice when he wasn't yelling at people.

Liam had a tendency to only carry the amount of coins he needed for the day rather than everything he owned. This was to avoid losing all of his money in case he got robbed, this was Liam's own paranoia and not due to personal experience, though. "Oh, I'm sorry." Liam replied, frowning a little more. He raised his eyebrows, surprised. "Three..but you don't need to give me any! I'll just order something different." Liam exclaimed, despite really wanting the other food. He smiled softly, putting the coins back in his pocket.

Liam nodded, trying to match his walking pace with Ren's. "So..did something happen before I ran into you? You seemed to have been in a really bad mood." Liam asked gently. Despite how rude he had been towards Liam earlier, he only wanted happiness for the other male. That is one of Liam's faults. Despite the way he gets treated by some, he wants the best for each and every individual. He pulled out the coins he had been keeping in his pocket, and counted them. A frown tugged at his lips. "I must've lost a few when I ran into you earlier." Liam said, turning to look behind him. He groaned, annoyed.

Liam raised an eyebrow as Ren began to speak. "Really?" He asked. He wondered why Ren didn't go by his real name. A part of him wanted to ask, but he didn't want to pry. He smiled slightly, and began walking. "Follow me, we just have to hurry because they might sell out!" Liam said. picking up the pace a bit. He glanced behind him and smiled slightly. "Thanks, by the way." He said in response to what he had said earlier.

Liam didn't expect Ren to agree. "Okay..cool! It's a food stall but before you judge, the food is really good!" He said, talking somewhat fast. He wanted to get to know Ren, because Liam couldn't help but wonder. He definitely doesn't seem like a jerk at heart. After all, here he is being nice. Liam then realized he had given out some important info to Ren. "Oh. Please don't tell anyone about what I do for work. I shouldn't have told you in the first place." He said nervously. Liam was annoyed at himself, but at the same time, Ren didn't seem like the type to tell secrets. Liam would rather be safe than sorry, though.
