The other boy turned sharply, eyes flashing as he opened his mouth, ready to tell the intruder to take themselves somewhere else and out of HIS bit of garden-
-oh. It was that boy again, the strange one with the strawberries. He'd already made conversation with him once, it would look a bit...uncivilized if he made a menace of himself now. "Hello," he replied warily instead, shoving his hair over his shoulder. "Winston, isn't it?"

"Yes! You remembered," Winston flashed a smile, pleased that he'd made a friend after all. "Can I come sit with you... ? I'd like to pick through clovers too."
He didn't move forward, waiting to be invited or turned away first. His tail wagged nervously, waiting for Seon's reply.

Well, at least he had manners. Seon felt his temper cooling, receeding back into something more managable- Winston hadn't really done anything to make him overly angry, and it wasn't his fault he'd stumbled upon Seon's little corner of privacy. Until he did something stupid, he wasn't even bad company.
One hand reached out, beckoning gracefully for the other boy to take a seat. "It's very warm," he said calmly, nodding his head once. "I do prefer quiet company, so if we can manage that- I don't see any problem."

Win's ears dropped a bit, laying back in his hair as he nodded. "Oh, I won't be too loud, don't worry."
He walked over to a patch near Seon, setting his shoes down before sitting down among the clover. He reached out to run his fingers over the tiny little sprouts, picking one randomly to see if it had four leaves.
He glanced at Seon, wanting to chat... but not wanting to anger him. He sighed, flickering his eyes back to inspect the clover.

He was....really sort of cute. Like a puppy waiting for his master to come and play. That association made Seon glance over at him as he picked another clover- he was working on a chain of them to put in his hair. Even if it did seem sort of stupid to do so now.
"I won't just lash out at you for no reason, Winston," he said quietly, still watching the other boy. "You may speak to me, you know- you haven't made an enemy of yourself as of yet. You should at least believe in yourself enough to think that you can avoid such a situation."
((EDIT: WHOOOO! Four-leaf clover for Seon!))

"Well, I don't mean to be rude at all-" Winston tossed the three leaf aside, looking towards the one Seon had plucked. "You..." His eyes lit up suddenly as he rushed forward, crawling up to him until he was nose to nose with the other boy.
"Oh look!! You found one! So lucky!!"

Eeeek?! Why was the other boy suddenly so CLOSE to him, he didn't like people in his- oh. Again. Seon froze, looking first to Winston and then to the fragile set of leaves in his hand- it DID have four leaves! By pure accident, when he hadn't even been paying attention, he'd found a lucky clover!
That was enough to let him ignore how close Winston was for a few minutes, and he stared at the clover in awe. "I didn't think they were real," he whispered, holding it so that his companion could see it better. "I just wanted to be outside...look! It's so much more balanced than the ones with just three leaves."

"See, imagine what else you can believe in now. Isn't it wonderful!" Winston smiled, leaning forward to sniff it. "It doesn't smell any different, that's for sure."
He glanced up at Seon, eyebrows lifting. "What you gonna do with it?"

"I...don't know." Seon stared at it, then looked up at Winston's eyes. "I didn't know they existed, so I didn't plan for this. I suppose I'll press it in glass, and frame it...you should keep looking!"
Garland forgotten, Seon tucked his other clover into his pocket and moved back from the other boy. His eyes were alight with curiosity, scanning the ground as he cradled his lucky clover carefully. "Perhaps we'll find another one, if we keep looking!"

"Oh, I hope so!" Win's tail was wagging as he crawled around the clover patch, picking at little sprouts as he went. "Have you never found something special before?"
He lifted a clover, looking at it carefully.

"It isn't so much of finding something special," Seon replied, pausing to glance at Winston again. "It's more that...I didn't believe in them. Now that I know they're real, they're quite a bit more special- you see?"
He picked another clover, looking it over carefully, before finding it deficient and slipping it absently into his hair. "It's the same as finding....oh, a flying cat or a fairy. Stories are interesting, but when you find that they have truth in them- it changes everything."

"Don't you believe in anything, Seon?" Winston sat back on his legs, hands resting on his thighs as his ears lifted. "I mean... just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there... just means it's hiding a little better or maybe you're not lookin' in the right places... just like these clovers. Lucky ones hidden among a lot of ... uh, normal ones."
He plucked another, looking it over.

A strange thought. Of course he believed in things- just not usually the extremely light-hearted things that didn't ever seem to come true. "I try to believe in many things, Winston," he stated with a touch of reproach. "But I can only believe in so much at a time- and it's a bit dissapointing to have one's beliefs disproved over and over again. I'd rather believe in human willpower and courage of heart, than luck and wishes."
He smiled slightly, glancing at the clover in his hand. "It is nice, I will admit, to have a bit of sparkle where there were only ordinary things before."

"You should believe in wishes more, Seon... you'd be suprised how much really comes true if you give it a chance." He looked up, pushing another clover around in his hand. His ears flicked forward as he peered down at the sprout, tail curling around him like a fluffy brush.
"Fairies tell the best stories."

"Have you ever ACTUALLY met a fairy, Winston?" Seon asked skeptically. Magic wasn't his strong point, so he tended to not have as much faith in it as he should. And yet...there was a four-leaf clover in his hand. He wasn't stupid enough to think it wouldn't WORK, now that he'd found it.
"I've heard a great deal about fairies, but never seen one myself. it's hard to believe in something you can't see, when everyone ELSE says it's real."
