"Arthur? It's good to see you again. It's been what? 7 years?"
"Oh yes. I can honestly say I've missed, eh, hanging out."
"Yes, but now we have a better reason to now. Don't we?"
"Yes, we do. Alfred, this is Francis and his son- um-"
"Sorry Mon Ami, this is Mathew. Go on Mathew say hi. This is daddy's old friend Arthur and his son."
A small child like figure with a violet tail and eyes to match, slowly swam behind his father and mumbled out a small "hi."
Before anything else could be said, the little figure with a light blue tail swam forward with a smile towards mathew. "Wow I like your tail! I haven't ever seen anyone else's like it! Hey do you want to go play at the park? Oh dad please can we go with Mr. Francis? Please!?!?"
The two adults smiled as Mathew slowly began to emerge from behind his father at the mention of play time. He looked towards his father, and Francis looked at Arthur.
"What's the harm in one afternoon Mon ami?"
"I see no harm in it at all. Let go."
With a cheer from Alfred, he swam to Matthew and grabbed his arm pulling him in the direction of the park.
