Right, real smooth Ella. The poor child just could not stop being awkward. The blonde frowned immediately after hearing Ian's parents had been fighting. "I know what that's like." She said, before realizing he probably didn't want to discuss it with her. "...and I'm sure it isn't anything to worry about." She added, giving him a reassuring smile. They could drop that subject now.

Ella began to swing higher and higher, giggling as she did. This was nice, being on the swings. Somehow life just didn't seem as confusing right now with the wind sending her hair flying all over the place and a good friend swinging right next to her. She turned to see how Ian was getting on and smiled when she saw that he was looking back at her. When he called out, she grinned and did the same. "It IS amazing!" And for now, at least, the second year felt like a proper kid again.
He smiled as she blushed. He thought it made her even more good looking. He nodded as she looked up and complimented him. "Thank you. It's very kind of you to say so." Mercifully she commented about knowing what it was like to have fighting parents and then moved on. He was curious of course, perhaps hers had decided staying together was good, but he didn't want to push that door back open.

Her giggles were like music that edged him faster and higher. As he watched her hair flew this way and that,framing her features and then flowing behind her. It was so much fun just to play with someone else, no expectations, no places to be, no real pressures on his life. He could leave all those things he'd left at home there. He was so glad he'd seen her as he passed.

He grinned wider and asked, "Wanna see who can fly higher and farther?"
