"Is it really that big of a deal?"

Rara stopped moving at the sound of the question and looked over his shoulder.

"Can we all sleep naked tonight?"

"No, I don't like sleeping naked and I think Karo doesn't like it either....Also, shouldn't you spend time with your Mother? She would probably be worried about you spending so much time here."

Rara rolled onto his back, his body starfished out on the large bed.

"No, she said she has important work to do."

Oh. Wang Bao began making the bed with Rara still laying in the middle. He was about to ask where Karo had gone when the small boy came walking inside.

"Nera is here, he said he wants to play again."

Wang Bao thought it was probably his Brother's idea since he knew Nera wouldn't come on his own to play with children that aren't fond of him, especially since the first time had been a failure. When Rara heard someone was wanting to play, he quickly wriggled off of the bed and followed Karo out into the living room. Rara looked Nera up and down as he had never met the man before. His tall body was still in only a nappy as he pointed up at Nera's face.

"Do you know how to fight?"

"Yes. I'm pretty good too."

En. Rara nodded firmly, believing the man in front of him before jumping at Nera's legs with his fingers spread like claws. Nera wasn't expecting this to happen and he jumped back. Wang Bao saw everything and leaned against the doorway with an exasperated look on his face. He really found it hard to understand Rara sometimes. When Rara met the ground instead of Nera's leg, he narrowed his eyes and sprang up before darting forward, Nera was surprised at how fast the boy could move and he found himself doing a small dance as he tried to evade Rara's hands. Rara laughed excitedly as he watched Nera move about until his small body was picked up from the ground. Nera poked Rara's cheeks playfully before allowing him to stand on the palm of his hand. Rara stood still and triumphantly while looking at Nera. Seeing such a kid be so unafraid that he was willing to fight him was amusing to Nera and he poked Rara's cheeks again before talking.

"You're pretty cute, I'm guessing you're Rara?"

"Yes, I am the Prince of Sea country and best friends with Karo and Bao is my brother!"

Rara gave a firm nod at his introduction and Nera looked over at Karo who was watching everything unfold while sitting on the sofa, Wang Bao walked over to the sofa and joined Karo since his feet found it hard to hold his weight for an extended amount of time. When Nera saw Karo looking up at the two of them blankly, he placed Rara on the ground before looking back at Karo, he pointed his finger before making a come here motion. Karo was hesitant since he still wasn't comfortable around Nera but slowly slid from the sofa and came over, his large eyes staring up at Nera. Rara giggled his way over to Kora and held his hand firmly before smiling up at Nera, waiting for their game to begin. Nera spoke softly as he looked between the two boys.

"Do the two of you know how to fight?"

Rara jumped up and shouted yes over and over while Kora gave a simple no, Nera could see Karo wasn't interested in such things but he quickly thought of something and went out to Wang Bao's garden area, he came back shortly with three semi-thick pieces of bamboo and handed each boy a stick.

"Unlike Nakai, the first style of fighting I learnt was with a stick similar to this. I think it will be something that the both of you will enjoy."

Karo looked down at the stick in his hands then pushed his hand out, his voice was soft but stern.

"No thank you, I don't want to learn to fight."
