Un!! I drew Maru-Maru and Izurun a picture so they can have it when they get back. It's over there...

[ Yachiru points to the table with the paper and crayons, making no attempt to get down from Spear-Spear's arms. On the table there appears to be some drawings, some of which have been aborted or half drawn... but there is one in the center that she's clearly been working on very much... ]

[daddyscythe]

[Spirit trots over obligingly, careful not to knock over any of the boxes that the doctors had moved out to the main room, and peered at that one drawing in particular.

Oh, so that's Maru Maru! The guy kind of reminds him of Stein in some ways. Probably the smile.]

This looks great! Aaw, look at that, it's our sun! Izurun looks like he's sunbathing, huh?

[pinknomnom]

[ Yachiru giggles, snuggling against Spear-Spear happily. She hasn't really gotten too many hugs lately, so it's nice to be held for once... ]

Un! Izurun doesn't really like to smile too much... I guess Maru-Maru does all the smiling for them both ne!!

[daddyscythe]

[He's happy to snuggle right back, and pats Yachiru's head automatically. Aaah, it's been a while since Maka was this small...]

He looks like he smiles a lot, doesn't he? I guess he has to if his partner is a pouty face!

[pinknomnom]

[ Yachiru nods emphatically in agreement! ]

Maru-Maru smiles all the time an' Izurun never smiles so I guess they balance each other!!

[ And then Yachiru brightens when she sees another drawing peeking out under the one of Maru-Maru and Izurun. ]

...ah! I drew Super Boobies too! It's under that...

[ She points at the corner of a picture that if pulled out, will reveal a lovingly rendered Super Boobies drawing... ]

[daddyscythe]

[He does pull it out, and stares in a great deal of bewilderment. Maybe Yachiru was just mistaken? Or was this super boobies just carrying meatbuns in her shirt? She was familiar, though -- by face, anyway. Spirit couldn't have missed seeing gigantic breasts walking around, could he? Impossible! Was this actually bigger than Blair's?]

[He laughs.] This is a nice drawing, too! She looks like a nice person, doesn't she? [clears his throat] What else have you drawn?

[pinknomnom]

I drew lots of things, Spear-Spear!!! But I got real excited when you came outta the mirror, so they're all on the floor now.

[ Yachiru giggles and points at the various drawings and papers that are scattered all over the floor. ]

I drew pictures for everybody that's sick! And I drew Ken-chan too!!

[ Under the table and across the floor, various pictures peer up from the ground. There seems to be several "feel better" pictures, a few pictures of the night sky, and buried underneath all the different drawings is Ken-chan. ]

[daddyscythe]

[Spirit obligingly bends down -- still holding on to her -- and starts picking them up, giving them a look and chuckling at what he's seeing.]

Hahaha, aaaaw, that's really cu--- Holy Shinigami, that is one scary Ken-chan! Spirit thought that he'd just be a normal dude.]

Whoa, he looks s[cary]--trong!

[pinknomnom]

[ You have no idea, Spear-Spear. ]

Un! Ken-chan is the stroooongest shinigami in the whole wide world! [ Yachiru chirps rather happily, so full of pride, arms wound around Spear-Spear's neck. ]

[daddyscythe]

[Well, he supposes that's a good thing, if he can protect her...]

Is he your papa or something? You don't really look alike... [still fixing the pictures, yes.]

1/2

[pinknomnom]

Nope! Ken-chan's just Ken-chan, ne...

[pinknomnom]

[ And then Yachiru's expression grows a bit more serious. ]

I was only a baby when Ken-chan found me... I didn't have any parents or even a name, ne. And the place where I existed was reaallllyy dangerous. Everybody there were like animals... and people died there all the time... I dunno if I'd be here right now if Ken-chan never found me. But he gave me a name and he took me with him and then we got really strong together!

[daddyscythe]

[He seems a bit taken aback by the change and the story.]

He sounds like a really great guy, to pick you up. If he comes, you definitely have to introduce him to me! [and then he kisses her cheek and ruffles her hair affectionately] But in the mean time, I guess you can hang out on me, yeah? I'm strongest here, too! And a papa.

[pinknomnom]

Unn!!!

[ Yachiru smiles happily and sort of pushes her cheek against Spear-Spear's, hugging him a little more. It's nice to hug someone like this. Normally her arms are all around Ken-chan's neck and she's holding onto him, but here, she hasn't really found anyone to hold. Sometimes Super Boobies gives her hugs but her shoulders aren't big enough for Yachiru to ride on. And no one really likes to pick her up that much, either! ]

Ne, ne, Spear-Spear, do you want me to draw you, too?

[daddyscythe]

[If there's one thing Spirit is good at apart from destroying things and his family relationships, it's fawning and cuddling with children. He rubs his cheek against hers happily (glad that he'd shaved that morning).]

That would be great! Will I be a handsome guy? I am, right?

[pinknomnom]

Unnn! Spear-Spear's reaaally handsome ne!!! [ Spear-Spear is the opposite of ugly, after all, and the opposite of ugly is handsome and beautiful! At least that's what Yun-Yun says...

She giggles and then she wiggles a bit to be let down. ]

Put me down here so I can draw, kay?

[ She's gonna make a drawing for you, Spear-Spear! ]
