[Hesitantly, Bryn puts her hand in King's. She notices the comm that she rolled on at the last minute and grabs that as well as what looks like a hotel room key. Bryn may be young but she's already traveled quite a bit with her family. She knows what it is and what it does.]
But we gotta set some ground rules. Most of the places here aren't for kids, so you gotta stay out of them, alright? There's a buffet on deck four if you get hungry. Don't go into the place called Camp Carnival or Spectacular Spectacular. And don't go lower than deck thirteen. Got me?
[Bryn listens attentively. This is an adult talking and adults should always be minded, especially since this one is establishing rules.]
Yes sir. Buffet on deck four. Don't go into Camp Carnival or Spectacular Spectacular. Don't go to any decks under thirteen.
[Parroting back his instructions is something Bryn learned at an early age. It ensured she'd remember, and her parents were happier having proof that she'd listened to them and understood.]

Bryn?!

Yes, that's me! May I ask who's speaking?
[It's a very proper phrase from a seven year old girl, but Bryn was instructed on how to speak to others from an even younger age.]

I'm just a lot older than you right now.

[Bryn stops short however. She's very confused now and wants very hard to believe him but...]
That's impossible. I'm seven and Gunnar is three.
