It was an autumn afternoon and the nearby parks were full of colour,mostly oranges and browns.
Jem Carstairs and Will Herondale were going for a quiet walk in the park.Though Will looked a little hesitant,maybe even nervous.Jem had his cane in one hand and a little basket in the other.
"Ducks are evil little things with black beady eyes."
Jem chucked slightly."Seriously Will?"
Will nodded."Seriously"
They both came to a halt,as they reached the pond.
"I don't like this." Complained Will.staying away from the pond.
"They're just ducks,simple birds." Jem laughed.
"They're monsters." Will complained.
Jem sits by the pond,breaking up some bread.
"Y-You're not going to /feed/ them...are you?" 
"Yes."
Will looked at his Parabatai in shock.
"No! They'll rebel and mug you next!"
The silver haired boy couldn't help but laugh.
"Sit,Will. I'll show you they won't hurt you."
Reluctantly,Will sits incredibly close to Jem.

A duck swims up to the two. Will slightly whimpers.
"Look." Jem throws the duck some bread. He looks at Jem worriedly.
"Try it."
"No."
"Please?"
"Okay..." 
"Good."
"But only if you do it with me." He looks at Jem with pleading eyes.
"Fine" Smiles Jem.
Will reaches for a piece of bread but hesitates.Jem notices this and grins.
"Like this." He takes hold of Will's hand,making him blush. He moves their hands towards the duck.
"H-Hmmmmm"
"I have your hand,the duck cannot hurt you whilst I'm holding it." Smiles Jem.
"Okay." Will nods and watches the duck take the bread from him and quack.
"See... Ducks don't bite." Beams Jem.
"Yeah... That one didn't" Grins Will.

Jem rolls his eyes and playfully hits Will's shoulder.
"Yeah... Because ducks are just waiting to bite you,Will."

"Which is why I stay Virulent" Will grins still.

Both go quiet,but in a peaceful,happy kind of quiet as they watch the ducks get near.

"... See... He told his friends...They'll be plotting now"
