๑ third encounter / sixth step ♚
-hand's cold. [ Plane, say hello. Today there are two people appearing at once, one possibly a bit familiar, while the other possibly a bit... tinier. Chivy has the smaller, younger boy's hand. The child, about eight or so, has a white, stuffed rabbit (with a blue lace ribbon around its neck) clutched between his other arm and chest. However, he cuts off when he sees the surrounding area, eyes going almost ridiculously wide. ]
Wh-whu-?
I told you it was cool. It's called the Plane.
[ Kid kind of drops to his knees, using his occupied arm to reach down and feel at the 'floor'. His expression and voice is half-scared-out-of-his-wits and half-awe. ] But we're not in a plane...
[Chivy bends so that they're not in a completely awkward position.] No, it's- That's just what it's called. There's people here, too.
Space people?
Not really. Well, I mean, maybe some of them. [It's tough to answer questions you don't actually know the answer to.] You can ask if we see anybody?
[ Standard boyo disclaimer applies, now with child experiment addendum! ]
