itp: how does i literacy?

[my_pleasure]

[ wander into this lounge and you'll encounter what looks like a somewhat clean-looking hobo, reclining in a chair, with a book in his lap. He looks utterly engrossed in it, his brow furrowed. He looks to be reading aloud, quietly, to himself... ]

See...Spot.

See Spot...run.

Run, Spot...run...

[ sighs, shaking his head. ] Spot, that little

[Just.... peeking. Little girl who's Innocence doesn't know she should stay away because:

You have a book! I like books... might feel a little tug on the pants leg.]

Up?

[my_pleasure]

...what?

[ ooc; he's temporarily de-Noah'd, by the way. ]

[miniblades]

Up?

[Tug tug tug.]

[[ooc: Aw, okay~ :D]]

[my_pleasure]

[ hmm. Picking up strange children might be seen as suspicious to some people... ] Where are your parents, kiddo?

[miniblades]

[B-but you have a book D:]

Dunno.

[Tuggggggggggggg~]

Up?

[my_pleasure]

I dunno if that's such a good idea.

[miniblades]

[Huffing.]

Book!

[my_pleasure]

[ blinks. ] You want the book? Well, alright. [ offers it over. There's no way he's sitting some strange kid in his lap. ]

[miniblades]

[She looks down at it for a moment, blinking, and holds it back up.]

Read?

[Or make up a story with the pictures! I like that :D]

[my_pleasure]

What, y'can't read that?

[miniblades]

[Looking back down at the book. Not going to wibble. Wibbling is for sissies and Allen.

But, she really likes hearing stories. So. Maybe wibbling a little. Just a little.]

... story?

[my_pleasure]

Sorry kid, not unless your mama and papa say it's alright.

[miniblades]

[HEARTBROKEN LOOK.]

...

....

No story?

[my_pleasure]

[ YOU'RE BREAKING HIS HEART. ]

No story.

[miniblades]

[YOU'RE BREAKING HER HEART EVEN MORE.

Just putting the book on the floor and folding her hands in her lap. Not wibbling, not wibbling, not wibbling... wibbling is for sissies...

... wibbling.]

O-okay.

[my_pleasure]

...your parents are here, right? [ this place wouldn't just throw a little kid in here alone...would it? Eaze doesn't count since there's so many Tykis... ]
