Lucas blushed a little at her first statement, "I'm just telling the truth..."
He sat up when she turned to him and listened to her, replying when she finished speaking, "I agree. With each minute we talk and share each other's ideas and experiences, I feel totally inspired, so...Thanks."

She blushed, "I'm glad I can inspire you. I love to talk to people. Sometimes I can't stop talking." "Some people get annoyed."

Lucas laughed under his breath, "Tell me about it. Whenever I would try and talk to my uncle, he'd just tell me to find something to do like I was a little kid or something..."

"Well, now you have me to come and talk to! As long as I can come and bother you of course!" She smiled mischievously.

Lucas laughed, "Alright, it's a deal!"
He continued grinning. Lucas asked after a moment, "I know you're from Ireland, but isn't Ai a Japanese name?"

She nodded, "Yes, my mother had traveled abroad before being hand-fasted to my father. She went to Japan and learned their language. She decided to name me Ai, which translates to Love."

Lucas smiled, "You have quite a worldly family!"
He paused and wondered about the term 'hand-fasted', "Lemme' guess. I bet that hand-fasted means to be married or get married. Am I correct?"

Ai smiled, "Yes, it's not Gaelic or anything. It's just the term Pagans use for marriage or to be married."

Lucas smiled once again, "Since you've told me so much about your culture, I guess I should tell you something about mine."
He pointed to the nightmare-catcher thing at the center of his necklace. There were four symbols. The first one he pointed to was a maple leaf symbol, "This means the bounty, the feast and the generosity between friends." He moved his finger to a badger symbol, "This means love for animals and for children and survival." Lucas pointed to another symbol, a bird, "This means the song, the peace and the love." Lastly he pointed to the deer bone symbol, "This means the loyalty, consideration, and desire."
He looked up at Ai, "I can't believe I remembered all of those after it's been nearly ten years since I was told of all these things..." Lucas looked at her, "Which do you like the most? I like'em all the same."

"The Bird and the Deer bone." She smiled, "Your Native American culture is fascinating. I'd like to learn more about it."

Lucas nodded, "But it's been so long since I've even talked about it. My uncle never did like my Native American side, but I'll tell you as much as I know..."
He thought for a moment and thought of something he could say, "Aksha noept i aho, ota ept shkasa mota sa."
Lucas translated, "That's one of the only things I remember. It's a saying that is said a lot in my culture, 'The heart that beats, is a heart that can be loved.' I guess that means 'everyone deserves a chance'."

"It's a very beautiful saying. It's so pure and true." Ai felt that that saying was quite true.

Lucas nodded, "Yeah. I've always liked it. I guess that's why and how I remembered it."
He sighed, "I also have a Native American name...I think it was SoaringHeart, but my uncle disliked that and decided to call me Lucas after his cat. And Terring's always been my last name so,"
Lucas paused and gave an annoyed look, talking sarcastically, "I feel so special, being named after a cat...Not that I have anything against cats or the name, I mean!"

"Soaring Heart?" She thought about it, "That must have been a special name...although I have nothing against Lucas, however being named after a cat isn't too...flattering." Ai was glad she had her parents, to think if she had another name then her own. It would seem so weird.

Lucas sighed, covering his embarrassed face with one of his large hands, "I still have no clue why he named me after a cat..."
He looked back up at Ai, his face still somewhat covered by his hand, "I've never really accepted the name Lucas, it's just that everyone refers to me as it and I've been stuck with it for ten years that I'm just used to it."
Lucas frowned, he put his hand down back on the grass and waited for a response.
