Alluka pauses and floats in the air before Geto as she thinks it over. They're in a large space with room to run (or fly) around. There's a dragon. It has so many options!
"Tag!" Alluka says. She wants him to have fun too.
Alluka looks around them, surprised by the idea they would need more space, but she shrugs and nods. "Okay, I look forward to that." because he said another day. There is another day.
"Most the games I know are meant for indoors. What games do you like?"
"Oh," Alluka considers. She slowly lands on her feet.
"We saw Big Brother's friend in the hospital because he was really really hurt, but he's better now. Then we saw him off to see his dad, and we were going on my first adventure. Unless going to the hospital counts as an adventure?" Alluka shares. It's all about her first trip off the mountain, a hopefully long long first trip.
"Have you played Sevens?" Alluka asks. She starts showing the hand motions between them.
Alluka sits on the edge of the building next to Geto and faces him. She holds up her hands pressed together with a serious expression on her face.
"We slap our hands together in a pattern. Then we have to imitate each other. Once you learn the basics, you can do anything. Follow me."
She starts slowly moving her hands. She really just wants him to be engaged, to let go of some of whatever's on his shoulders, at least for the moment. She's always been able to do that for Big Brother.
Alluka hums as they play, honestly enjoying the simple fact of having someone to play with. Someone new! Geto is really nice after all.
Still she leans across them in time, not sure how to word it. Because it's okay if he doesn't like her. She has Big Brother and Zechs and Sharon and Gojo. It's so many people. Alluka hopes he does, as much as she likes him, but she does have more love than she ever knows what to do with. "Would you rather I leave?"
She smiles, trying to assure him it's okay, whatever he says.
Alluka looks back up at the rainbow dragon and smiles. It's really cool, but she knows she can come back and see it another day. Come back and fly on its back.
He slides off the ledge, taking her hand as Rainbow dragon vanishes and then it's back inside to take her down to the second floor apartments and inside.
Alluka nods and squeezes Geto's hand. It sounds like he's having a rough time. Lucky for him, she's there. "It's okay to take things slow, and I'm happy to come play with you anytime," Alluka says.
She pulls out her spoon, and her face squishes together in concentration. A moment later there's a fairly large plush dragon that appears before them and starts to fall to the floor. It looks like rainbow dragon.
"It's something we all can do!" Alluka says. She holds up her spoon, made of cherry wood. "It's a way of using Lore. You can summon things you want or need."
She picks up the plush and pushes it into Geto's chest. "This is for you. Hugging a plushy can make you feel better and know you're not alone even if no one else is around and you're stuck in a place all by yourself."
Given her age, it's not really surprising and he's not going to argue with a child anyway. "Thank you, Alluka." The plush will at least be somewhere she can see it when she visits. He sets it on the couch beside himself.
"You're welcome," Alluka says. She sits next to him and curls her feet up under her knees and leans against him. Indeed it he moves or stands up, she'll fall over.
"You don't have to be alone, though. I'm here for you." She's always preferred having someone to being alone.
Alluka preens. She is glad it isn't a school day, that there's nothing else she needs to do. She should probably go home for dinner, but dinner isn't for aaaaaaaaaaages. She's here for him.
"It's my pleasure," Alluka says. "I'd never leave someone alone who needs company." Because she's been there herself.
