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.]

[... 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.

[seasides]

Sorry.

[gets himself a drink and sits down.]

[preflame]

[preflame]

[Grabs all his dishes and brings them over to the sink, then grabs a towel to wipe off the table with and holds it up to Kai.]

Can you wet this for me?

[seasides]

Sure.

[does so, handing it back afterward.]

[preflame]

[Blinks down at the towel, then back up at Kai.]

Doesn't it have to be hot to get off the syrup?
