Leslie running ahead and pulling on the leash every five seconds, Jamie made it to the park even quicker than at his normal pace. His parents gave him a free pass with this so he didn't want to squander it even if he could still only spend a few minutes with Bane and Raven. Spying an empty blue plastic bench in the center of the park, he started for it, finally slowing his pace so that he could enjoy the green grass under his feet. The park itself didn't amount to much, mostly designed for children and the parents who watched them rather than joggers or dog walkers. Still, it had its fair share of greenery outside of the mulch beneath the swings. "Would you behave if I let you off the leash and played myself?" he asked the dog, glancing down before sighing. "Probably not. Some five year old will decide to take you home instead."

Laughing to himself, he plopped down on the bench with the leash held loosely in one hand as he watched the swings. The empty one swayed vaguely in the faint breeze created by a vigorous swinger next to it, the kid's untied shoelaces a ribbon of bright yellow in the sky. Jamie found himself smiling, waiting for the child he really wanted to see so he could push her in the other swing so high the other boy could only be sad in jealousy. Oh yes, Jamie was the best swing pusher in the world!
