"I usually listen to music, or play soccer or something. I don't really pay attention to much of the stuff that goes on back at the Institute...wait you have a sister?" Roberto asked. He was genuinely oblivious to all the goings on at the Institute because he never had a reason to care before. He didn't really have any friends there which was the reason he had been stomping through the park in the first place. He wondered why he had never noticed Sam before, though. He seemed like a cool guy and he was actually getting along with someone without having to start a fight. Maybe it was time for Roberto to give other people a chance too...

"Cool." Sam said with a nod. "Music's awesome." He added and laughed. "Yeh, I've got five.” He said with another laugh. “And three brothers.” He added and glanced around the park. “Only one of my sister are at the mansion, None of my brothers.” He said with a shrug.
“D’you have any siblings?” He asked and looked back over at him.

Roberto's face sort of scrunched up at the word family. His family was not something he liked to talk about. "No," he answered darkly. Thinking this sounded a little mean he added, "Sorry, I don't like to talk about them, and no I don't have any siblings, not as far as I'm concerned." He looked at the ground for a minute and sighed quietly before looking back up at Sam.

"Alright." Sam said with a nod. "Sorry I mentioned it." He said and quickly tried to think of something to change the subject.
"Do yah think yah could teach me how to play soccer?" He asked him and grinned again, attemping to lighten the mood. He had never taken much interest in soccer, But it might be cool to play.

"Sure," Roberto said with a grin. He looked around the park and saw that there just happened to be a soccer ball sitting on the grass. 'How convinient,' he thought. "C'mon," he said to Sam as he made his way over to the soccer ball.

"Cool." Sam said with the same grin. "Alright." He said and followed Roberto over to the soccer ball. "Okay earthling, So what do we do with this colorful round thing?" He joked but kept a dead serious expression.

Roberto laughed as he bent over to pick up the soccer ball. "Ok the deal is you have to try to kick the ball through the other person's goal to score a point. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. Oh and you can't touch the ball with your hands. At all," as he was explaining, he kicked the ball up with his knees, alternating between each knee, and balanced it on his chest like it was the easiest thing in the world.

"Huh." Sam said and watched the ball as it bounced from one of Roberto's knees to the other, and over again. "Alright." He said and stopped watching the ball as Roberto blanced it. "Sounds cool." He said with a nod.

"Hmm, we're gonna need some goals," Roberto said. He let the soccer ball drop to the ground, and started scanning the park for anything they could use for goals. He noticed a group of little kids playing with rocks, and he walked over to them without saying anything to Sam.
When he got over to the little kids he bent over and took four of their larger rocks. "Gimme those," he said scooping them into his arms and walking away, giving the children no time to respond.
He walked back over to Sam and gave him two of the rocks, "Ok you make a goal over there, and I'll make mine over here." Roberto arranged the the two rocks on the ground, and waited for Sam to finish.

Sam nodded and watched Roberto walk off. He watched him take the rocks from the little kids and raised his eyebrows, slightly, But didn't say anything. He watched the kids while Roberto made his goal, just to make sure they didn't start crying. He walked a ways away from where Roberto set down the rocks, and He did the same.
"Alright.." He said and looked back over at Roberto. "What now?" He asked him and took a quick glance over at the little kids before looking back at Roberto.

Roberto totally disregarded the whol stealing from children thing, and went on explaining how to play to Sam.
"Ok, do you know how to dribble?" Roberto asked, expertly passing the ball over to Sam.

"Like with a basket ball?" Sam asked curiously with a laugh.
"Yeh." He said and nodded, Not exactly sure if that is what Roberto mean't.. But he figured he'd say he could anyway.

"No," Roberto said with a laugh, "With your feet. Remember you can't touch the ball with your hands."

"Uh.." Sam said and glanced down at the ball. "No, I do not." He said with a laugh. "How d'yah dribble with yah feet?" He asked Roberto with an interested expression.

Roberto rolled his eyes at Sam's question. He didn't understand how someone could not know how to play soccer. Back home, before he found out he was a mutant soccer was his life. He took the ball and started to dribble it down the field in a staright line.
"Like that," Roberto said. Even though Sam had no idea how to play soccer, Roberto was having fun teaching him.
