{09} Um.....Dad? [In Person/ Accidental Video]

[A small boy around the age of 11 was slumped in a chair with some rather heavy gear on his head. In the Main Hall, that was really the only place he could be without being in the way but watching the comings and goings was something worth watching. Big brown eyes watched everything. He lifted his hand and gave a random wave here and there.]

Hi.

[Ienzo's shifting down the halls with a sea-salt ice cream in hand. Looking up momentarily to see where he's going he practically jumps out of his skin when he sees the torture device like headgear. His eyes wide and shoulders hunched.]

U..uh..m.. H-hi..

[Willy's used to being stared at and made fun of for the unsightly gear but it still bothers him somewhat that it can be frightening to see. He tries to make it better by waving and his eyes show a happy glow.]

Hi. I'm Willy. What's your name?

[He doesn't move eagerly since the gear makes things a bit uncomfortable but he does move slowly out of the chair and what seems like....a smile. Hard to tell with that headgear on.]

[Well the tone was certainly helping. He was just a naturally high strung child.]

I'm Ienzo..it's nice to meet you..

[He can't help but look at the gear funny, he cocks his head.]

Why do you wear that..?

Nice to meet you Ienzo.

[Willy's used to the questions and nods, touching the mandibular arm. He's forced to speak slowly to articulate his words since the gear really hinders his speech.]

My dad says that it'll help straighten my teeth. He's very good at his work.

[He tilts his head, looking at the other's teeth...they looked fine to him.]

They look straight to me..

[He pauses and then holds out his sea-salt ice cream for him. It's a little melted but considering how cold it is out, it's not too bad. It was his way of apologising for his funny looks.]

Do you want to try it?

[He looks to the left and right making sure that his father isn't around. Satisfied, he tentatively reached out for it and took a lick.]

It's really good! What is it?

[He was always a firm believer of try it first before asking what it was. Never was he allowed to have any sweets at all growing up, anything sweet was a real treat to him. The only thing sweet he was allowed to have was fruits and even then it wasn't always fun.]

[He smiles broadly and giggles.]

It's sea-salt ice cream silly! There's lots of it in the freezer!

[Looking around like Willy, he assumes he's hiding from someone. He then waves his hand, beckoning him to follow him.]

Come on! I'll show you.

[The now excited Willy follows Ienzo toward the kitchen.]

This is a really big house. I guess it's okay since Dad's busy with a patient on a house call check-up.

[He'll have to keep the sea-salt ice cream in mind. He liked the mixture of the salty and sweet.]

[Scuttling inside he looked around for any adults, which considering his height looked fairly cute as he barely managed to see over the counter top. Normally he didn't just help himself to this stuff, he'd always ask his parents, but it seemed no one really cared around here.]

In here!

[Opening the draw he pulled one of the lollies out for his new found companion and handed it to him proudly.]

[And it didn't take long for Willy to come to realize that no one really bothered to scold the boys and happily took one, unwrapping it gently and looked around just in case his father appeared. Satisfied that they wouldn't be bothered, he took his first real sea-salt ice cream bar and was very happy with it.]

This is really cold. I'm not supposed to have things like this. I really like it!

[He smiles broadly, happily nomming at his own again.]

Really? Why?

[He furrows his brow at the thought of his father.]

He says that sweets are bad for us. But this is so yummy! It's really only bad if that's all you have but I guess he's just trying to protect me.

[He considers this. His parents had also said that they were bad, but they didn't stop him from having them all together.]

'Everything in moderation' my mother says. Prove him wrong about them?

[Protect him? Just another sign to him that some people really did tend to go over-board for those they cared about.]

Moderation is good. My teacher says that a lot when other kids use up too much glue or paint. It goes further if you use just a little. I guess the same goes with everything.

[He begins to nom on that ice cream bar a little more.]

Wow! If this is really what sweets are like, I like it!

[Less is more? Yeah he'd heard that one before. Ienzo smiles and nods.]

They're good! Let's see if we can find some more!

Okay.

[Willy was more curious now than before and this was certainly something that he wouldn't mind studying forever.]

[So he begins looking through the fridge, the cupboards - even going so far as to pull a chair over to the higher cupboards to have a look around in them..it probably didn't help that he could only just see the bottom shelf in them though.

He hops from the chair and presents him with a small bag of gummy bears with a broad smile.]

See what you think!

[The jelly like substance were sticking to his braces but eventually they would melt away. Only one was needed to try from each color and Willy was satisfied.]

They're good....but really sticky. Are they supposed to be like that?

[Ienzo watched intently waiting for Willy's approval. If he hadn't tried any sweets really why shouldn't he give them the best?]

Mhmm. Some can be just chewy, but these ones are awesome. They're made with fruit juice too!

[Willy's eyes widened at the remarkable discovery and definitely liked that idea a whole lot better.]

That's a whole lot better than what I originally thought which wouldn't have been good if it wasn't good for you too. Neat!! I like the orange ones. Which ones are your favorite?
