Because I'm in too deep.

[In one of the quieter hallways of the DR, this little blond boy is running full speed, occasionally glancing over his shoulder as if someone were following him. He looks a little banged up with a few nasty looking bruises on his cheeks and little cuts all over. Nothing too major, but a hurt child nonetheless. You'll have to excuse him if he accidentally runs into you while his gaze is focused on the hallway behind him, he looks too terrified to think to watch where he's going.]

This is so cool...

[seasides]

It is. I can teach you how to use it properly later, if you want.

[preflame]

Okay! S-So how do you get to the kitchen from here?

[seasides]

Don't worry, I know the way.

[heads for the door, grinning back at him.]

Just follow me, we'll be there in no time.

[preflame]

'Kay!

[Follows, grabbing onto his pant leg to make sure he doesn't lose him.]

[seasides]

[make it sound like Roxas is five, jeez. here, kid, hold onto this hand worming it's way into yours instead :|]

[preflame]

[He's still scared and he's in an area he doesn't know. Okay, holds his hand then, glancing around :|]

[seasides]

[that's okay, he'll keep the kid safe c:]

[preflame]

[That makes him feel better :>]

[seasides]

[good to know. they reach the kitchen soon enough, and he lets go to start gathering ingredients.]

[preflame]

[Grabs a bowl and such.]

[seasides]

[preflame]

[insert helping and probably getting in the way here too?]

[seasides]

[pfff has dealt with worse. finally, big fluffy chocolate chip pancakes!]

[preflame]

[Yayyyyyy \o/ scrambles up into a chair.]

[seasides]

[sets out cutlery and then a plate piled with pancakes in front of Roxas.]

Enjoy.

[preflame]

[Beams up at him.]

Thanks!

[seasides]

[ruffles his hair.]

No problem.

[preflame]

[Smiles and digs in~!]

[seasides]

[gets him some milk too c:]

[preflame]

[... Kai is such a good parent. Tries to say thank-you again but his mouth is full.]

[seasides]

Don't talk with your mouth full.

[absently. just sets the glass down.]

[preflame]

[Takes it and takes a drink, washing down the pancake.]

Sorry.

[seasides]

[shakes his head with a laugh.]

I've been trying to teach someone else all these little things people normally learn growing up, so that's just an automatic reaction now.

[preflame]

[Shrugs a bit, and after another sip, sets the glass down.]

My mom would say the same thing.
