It wasn't. I'm used to waiting a bit. [And he's sitting on a bench, swinging his legs like he's most innocent little boy in the world.

Kinda a pity really, because he's anything from normal. He's a monster of monsters. Who, at this moment, looks very, very normal.] And I have the Forge to keep me occupied. It's nice to meet you face to face, Mr Quatre.

[sandrocker]

[too bad quatre doesn't know; he would run away like any sane person! instead, all he has to believe is a vague warning from a stranger with no details or proof. it seems ludicrous, but quatre has the distinct feeling she's not wrong. still, he's not exactly trusting his own instincts, and as they say, innocent until proven guilty.

so selim gets a warmer, more genuine smile.]

Have the others you've spoken with been of help?

[sitting next to him on the bench.]

I feel so sorry for Quatre.

[hubrisextremeis]

Yea. But some of them seem to not trust me, and I have no idea why. [A sad pout, but then he just shrugs it off. Sorta.] It's depressing to know that I can't go home. And Miss Hawkeye said that maybe the people here will feed me out of charity... but ..

I want mother. She'd know what to do, Mr Quatre. [That and his mother is the easiest human to manipulate. Not that this boy doesn't look like it, but after what Hawkeye told him... he'd going to play it safe, and let the human draw his own conclusions.

Bonus points if he gets a hostage on the first day, really.]

lmao, i am kind of gleeful. /bad

[sandrocker]

[quatre is assuming the distrust comment is a scared ten year old acting like, well, a scared ten year old. even one that he is assuming as worryingly intelligent.]

Maybe we'll find her later... Who is Miss Hawkeye?

XD Do you has AIM?

[hubrisextremeis]

[If asked, Selim will simply say he's rather gifted.]

She works for father and always brings any work that's really important over. But normally I'm sleeping but I've been up a few times. But she's here, so she's not working for father. [:(] She doesn't seem to like me...

I think I did something wrong at home.

i do! /slides over that way

[sandrocker]

[yes, quatre is familiar with the type. (ahem, mariemaia.) they can be rather unnerving! so he's getting the sense this is the source of lust's and riza's distrust.

which leaves him wondering, what has selim done? (if anything.) not that it exactly matters. because even if this were mariemaia, quatre wouldn't leave her in the cold.]

Sometimes, adults are uncomfortable for reasons that don't have to do with you, and they don't know what to do. [reassuring smile!] Have you met anyone else from home?

Re: i do! /slides over that way

[hubrisextremeis]

I guess... but mother and father don't seem that way.

Ummm... [Thinks, then why not.] Only Colonel Mustang, Ummm... Scar, Lust and some others. But over the Forge thing. [A head scratch follows, then his stomach speaks up. GDI.] Sorry.

[sandrocker]

[small smile.]

Let's get you something to eat.

[and then, they can work out who get saddled with a tiny child.]

[hubrisextremeis]

OK! [And he's up and waiting, grin on his face.

Oh, he knows who he wants to be 'saddled with', and that's the blonde in front of him. Target acquired, as they say.] Miss Hawkeye said there's a place called Nogi Noodles? Let's go there and see if it's still open, shall we?

[sandrocker]

[nods and stands up, too.]

That sounds good. Did she say where it is?

[because he has no idea. so quatre is taking out his forge to find something about its whereabouts. he could ask a local, but they've been varying degrees of helpful.]
