This is just disgusting.

[There's a little pale, white-haired kid hiding behind a plant and his oversized backpack in the lobby, maybe 5 or 6 years old.

He ducks down deeper behind it whenever anyone passes, so it might be hard to spot him.

He's trying very hard to be brave and not cry!]

....

[Did...did he see a backpack?]

[tinylandlord]

[Yes, and it might be a rather familiar looking one.]

[It seems to be shivering.]

[Tasket is walking past when she catches something out of the corner of her eye and wanders over for a closer look] Hello? Is anyone there?

[tinylandlord]

N-n-no!

[He lifts his backpack up to better hide behind it.]

[guarded_love]

[Kneels] Hey, it's okay, I'm not going to hurt you.

[tinylandlord]

[Hesitantly peeks up from behind his backpack.]

[kidofkulelna]

[Hello moving thing behind a plant.]

[tinylandlord]

...!

[Realizes he's been spotted and pulls his backpack over top of himself, trying to disappear.]

That is Amane |D;

[kidofkulelna]

[Approaches this strange thing.]

doh. I couldn't find any other wat/ohno faces ;_;

[tinylandlord]

M-mmmf!

[It's a shrimpy little kid, even younger than Floret.

He has his face buried in his backpack, operating on the principle that if he can't see you, you can't see him.]

[goddamndragon]

[Oh hey, kidlet. Well, a quivering backpack, but Red can put two and two together. He crouches down nearby, hoping he's not close enough to spook little!Ryou.]

Little one? Are you lost?

[tinylandlord]

[...cautiously peeks out from behind his backpack.

He hesitates, but nods.]

[goddamndragon]

What is your name, little one?

I'm, ah... [Tiny lost kidlet. Probably best to avoid his proper name, in case the 'dragon' part scares Ryou.] Red. You can call me Red.

[tinylandlord]

U-um.. I'm.. I'm Bakura.

I'm just waiting for mom to come get me, then I won't be lost anymore!

[tinylandlord]

...?

[He looks up from behind his backpack, when he sees some familiar white hair, just in case it's mom--...

...no such luck.

He remains scrunched behind his pack, but he knows it's rude to not return a greeting.]

H-h-hi mister.

[tinylandlord]

U-umm...

I-I got lost... a-and there's lots of people I don't know here...

If I stay in one place, Mom can find me better!
