Say, um...
[what was her name again?]
Lilo- do you remember how to make hot chocolate? I can't.

[iwannalobster]

[Lilo looks up at Clopin for a long moment before shaking her head and idly picking at the corners of her photo]

[fearthefool]

[Clopin is about to ask if she really can't remember something from last month, but decides instead to sneak around the couch and glance at the picture in her hands.]
Who are they?

[iwannalobster]

[She holds up the picture so he can see a younger Lilo with her parents. Nani is also there with her.]

[fearthefool]

And where was this taken?
[Lilo's not talking- concern rising]

[iwannalobster]

[And.... she's going to continue not to talk. She just points to the trees and ocean in the photo. Hawaii... home... that's where this was taken...]

[fearthefool]

It looks nice there. I've never seen trees like those before- you're making me jealous. Now I have to go see them.

[iwannalobster]

[She looks to Clopin... then back to the picture... and proceeds to bring it to her face, hugging her entire body to the picture.

She wanted to be there too. To see everything she missed]

[fearthefool]

...homesick?

[iwannalobster]

[She nods a bit. But then again, she wasn't really sure if it was home she missed so much as the people who lived there]

[fearthefool]

...
[can't do much about you being homesick, kiddo. Sorry.]
Care for a story?
