[Have an unperturbed uncle figure.]

You know you're going to have to try it eventually.

But I don't want to, Uncle Tegan.

[Will her pouting work on him now?]

[thewittiest.livejournal.com]

[No, but only because he's had years and years to build up an immunity.]

What a pity. I guess I'll have to eat all that ice-cream I bought earlier by myself.

...just an apple, blinkin.

[afleeinglight.livejournal.com]

[Looks at the apple, wrinkling her nose a bit and shakes her head.]

I'm not hungry, Auntie D'Arcy. [She was but her tummy wasn't feeling so well since Dad started to act funny and Mom became angry all the time.] Thank you.

Mummy says, fraction. [] ...we'll play a game, mm?

[evientually.livejournal.com]

I-I didn't mean to!

[afleeinglight.livejournal.com]

Oh! [Feels bad for upsetting the other girl.] Not you! I thought I saw a man looking at me funny. My Mom and Dad told me to always be careful.

A Bad Man? You gotta keep away from Bad Men. [Reaches out and tugs on her sleeve. Hide?]

[Oh, come on, kid. She already promised herself she wouldn't mention you to Säde. Stop looking at her like that just because she showed her middle finger to an inconsiderate dog walker who doesn't pick up after his pet.]

[afleeinglight.livejournal.com]

[There are nicer ways to do it though. Dad said so but Dad isn't really being Dad these days.]

Do you always do that when you don't like someone? [Curiosity of a cat is one of her defining traits.

And her most troublesome traits since it starts conversations like these.]

[listentolorelei.livejournal.com]

[ Nope. What she does when she really doesn't like someone is talk.]

 It's the fastest way of getting my point across.

[ Since most people aren't going to stop and read what she types and don't understand sign language. That's the only nigh-universal sign, really.]

[Ah, wary children. David was used to those on the street.

Leaning back, he seemed careless and calm.]

Your father sent me.

[afleeinglight.livejournal.com]

Really?

[That changes Mary's demeanor enough that she wouldn't scurry off to somewhere else. She looked at the man without weariness anymore but pleasant interest but kept her distance.

Dad had been acting odd for the last few days and knowing he was still looking out for her soothed some of her anxieties.]

[spysinspades.livejournal.com]

Mm. He seems to think you wander a bit too much not to have eyes.

[He means that he has watchers on her, but the shortening of sentences has become it's own kind of slang.]
