[The movies always make it look so easy. Kids just toss their kites up in the air, and they stick, like magic or something. Hunny just always assumed that that was that kite's job. To stick to the air. And all you had to do was guide it, right?

Wrong. He's been trying for almost three straight minutes now - exhausting just thinking about it, I know

A broken kite, Hunny-senpai?

[That's so sad...]

[boylolita]

❀ I don't know if it's broken, but it isn't working! ❀

[daddyhost]

I shall come and assist you, together we are sure to get it flying!

[boylolita]

❀ Yeah! That sounds like fun! ❀

[Imminent failure in 10...9...8...]

[daddyhost]

[Surely not! The Host King would never fail at so simple a task! He comes dashing down to where Hunny is, looking at the kite and string for a moment.]

Where is the motor?

[Surely it needed a motor to fly? He remembers his toy remote control helicopter had one when he was younger.]

[boylolita]

❀ I looked for it, but it doesn't seem to have one. This one guy said it needed wind. Maybe it's like one of those windmill things! ❀

[WRONG.]

[daddyhost]

But it's the wrong shape to be a windmill... do you think we have to reshape it?

[boylolita]

❀ But windmills can't fly! If we shaped it like a windmill, all it could do would be whatever windmills do! ❀

[daddyhost]

Then how can it use the wind like a windmill?

[He crouches in front of it, staring at this enigma of a toy.]

[boylolita]

❀ I don't know... Hey, it looks kind of like a hang glider! Maybe it works the same way? ❀

[Idea!]

❀ Do you think it'll work if we throw it off something high-up? That's what hang-gliders do! They jump off mountains! ❀

[daddyhost]

[Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, he tilted his head back to squint into the sun.]

But all the pictures I've seen have commoners stood in a field, not up high.

[boylolita]

❀ Well maybe you could stand in the field, and I could throw it off of that tree! ❀

[This is totally a good idea right.]

[daddyhost]

Great idea, Hunny-senpai~!

[boylolita]

[So that's precisely what he's doing - scooting up the trunk of the tree with the kite in his hands, until he reaches a branch about twice Tamaki's height.]

❀ Hey, catch the handle thingie when I throw it, okay? ❀

[And that's all the warning Tamaki's getting. Be ready to catch the spool.]

[daddyhost]

[AHHH! He dashes forwards, hands outstretched to catch the spool, laughing delightedly (and attractively) when he does.]

Got it!

[boylolita]

[Yelling rather loudly, even though he's really not all that far away from Tamaki: ]

❀ Alright, I'm gonna throw it after I count to three! One... two... THREE! ❀
