Kevin nods in quiet (and remarkably fatherly) satisfaction; yep, that was the one.
"Tammie's fine," he says in his best 'yes, you should be worried', "she's with Rebecca and David. She was wandering around on her own for a while there. It's a good thing nothing happened to either of you, but you need to be more careful. Okay?"
"I know, I know. But my mom's explained this place to me. Even showed me a bit." Sticking her hands in her jeans pockets, Alison looks around. "But this version looks kind of different."
Yoko finally chimes in; her voice sounds a little strained, as if she's trying to keep her emotions under control. "Alison, we'd be happy to get you some food if you want some. You can't wander around here alone."
"Gee, thanks, Mister Ryamn!" Alison beams and starts walking towards the portal that he and Yoko came out of. "You know, you're a lot smarter than my Dad makes you out to be. In fact, you're a pretty sharp guy!"
Yoko makes a strangled noise that may or may not be a snort of dismissal at the crack about Kevin's intelligence. She takes his hand in hers and follows Alison.
"Don't forget that he's the poster boy for Visine!" Alison laughs in that strange way she does before pausing in front of the portal. "Nothing like making fun of the old man behind his back."
Yoko hides her giggles by pretending to cugh. Who knew one of her weird future/alternate children could be so spunky? It doesn't seem possible.

Alison looks extremely interested now. "Really?"
