[Accidental Video]

[The little drone sent to this new arrival has ended up turned on. She seems to be trying to shoo it away.] N-no. No, go away. Please. [She's whispering, but the tone is desperate and edged with tears.]

[She turns and limps away from the drone, something must be wrong with her right leg. The drone just...follows. When the girl glances back and sees it still coming after her she lets out a sound that's something between a frustrated growl and a whimper.]

L-leave me alone.

[Anyone paying special attention to the surroundings the drone shows may note that this child seems to be somewhere close to The Hub, as they'll be able to spot the Warehouse behind her at least once.]

[Lea finishes his story and waits to see how Jendayi responds. And... keeps waiting. Really, if she wasn't so cute, the staring would almost be getting a little creepy by the time she finally does make a move. When she does though, it's a little surprising, shifting over to tuck against his side. As if she wasn't trying to run away from him not a few hours ago.

Not really sure what to do with this sudden change of demeanor, he settles for patting her head, gently ruffling her hair.]

Thanks.

[He just allows her to sit like that for a long moment before speaking again.]

Alright then. How about you finish your soup, then we'll see about getting you cleaned up a little? Afraid I don't really have any other clothes in your size on hand, but I should at least be able to find you a shirt or something you can wear as a night dress til we can get your things washed.

[Paian had healed her, but that had done nothing about the bloodstains on both their clothes, or likely on her body. Which would be a whole new level of awkward, come to think of it, but necessary; one couldn't leave a child as young as her in the bath unsupervised.]

[She had been scared. Now, though, he'd helped her, he'd been kind to her, he'd even been open and honest with her, and he was a wielder like she was. Besides, she had no way home and no idea when or if she'd ever see her Papa again. So yeah...she snuggled to Lea's side now, just seeking comfort where she could.]

[She nods and will shift back to her soup. She can't help a little face, it really is awful soup, but she'll eat it.]

[Lea smirked slightly, amused as he saw her making a little face at the taste of the soup.]

Not that great, huh? Can't exactly say I blame you; if I'd been expecting company, I'd have had something better on hand, but as it stands, this is better than nothing. We'll head down to the Pantry tomorrow though, and do a little grocery shopping. I'm actually not that bad a cook, if I do say so myself, though I'll probably have to make things a lot less spicy than I would just for myself.

[She blushes when he catches her. And she nearly apologizes, but he goes on. Well, that's good to know.]

[She gives him a little smile and a nod.] I'd like to try your cooking.

[Lea smiles right back.}

Well, you'll probably get the chance if you stick around.

What sorts of things do you like? Other than deserts, because I haven't met a kid yet who doesn't like desert.

[She shrugs]

I like fish. And stew. I like all kinds of things. Papa is a good cook.

Fish huh...? Ever had sushi? Or is that not a thing where you're from?

[Headtilt~] Soo-she? I don't think so.

[She...well, kind of has, just not called that.]

Well, there's lots of different kinds of sushi, but usually it involves some combination of fish, rice, and vegetables, and comes in bite-size portions. Some kinds can get really fancy, but a basic sushi roll isn't that hard to make.

[He thinks a moment.]

That should be something we get tomorrow. Ingredients for sushi rolls.

[She nods, a little smile on her face. She liked fish and vegetables and it comes in small pieces? Sounds like a fun food!]

What's rice?

[It is indeed fun food! As she will find out.]

It's a kind of grain, usually served boiled or steamed. Doesn't have a lot of flavor on its own, but as part of other dishes it's really good.

Also has the upside of being very easy on the stomach if you're not feeling well, but hopefully we won't have to deal with that for awhile. I don't think either one of us wants to have to go bug Paian again so soon, right?

[A bit of an amused smirk, showing he's mostly joking.]

[Her chin tucks a little, but the little smile on her face says she's comfortable and relaxed. She shakes her head.] I don't want to bother anyone.

[The healer man was nice, but she'd rather not be a bother to him.]

I'm looking forward to trying sushi.

Alright! Sounds like a plan, then. Tomorrow, I'm gonna make you my special sushi roll.

[Though he'd turn the spice down significantly for her benefit.

And speaking of food, it looked like they were both about done with theirs, so...]

Alright. Think you're ready to tackle getting cleaned up?

Okay.

[She's looking forward to that, ~~and she'll love it, because she's not unfamiliar with raw fish, and the new flavors will just be wonderful to her.~~]

[She nods and will get up to take her dish to the kitchen...a little lost about the sink and what it's for, but will follow his lead on getting dishes cleaned, then following him to get herself cleaned up.]

Think we can move towards a wrap with them heading in to get her cleaned up? :3

Sounds good.
