[Her post starts out brightly cheerful.]

Good evening everyone! There's someone I want you all to meet, alright? He's really nice, and he needs friends. He's a little shy, but don't be afraid to come up to him, alright?

His name is Kid, and he's got really light hair -- white, even! -- and he looks really young, but I think he's older than me, maybe!

[A pause.]

Um.

Kevas?

[70ftandcounting]

[drinkuntilidie]

[Kevas sighs and kneels down to look her in the face even if she is hiding it in her hands at them moment.]

[He smiles at her.]

[He hates to bring that up again but it's true.]

[70ftandcounting]

[That brings a round of helpless giggles.]

Oh...that's...that's a good point.

[drinkuntilidie]

[There we go. Giggling is much better than being sad.]

[70ftandcounting]

I guess not. [Small smile.]

[drinkuntilidie]

[He smiles back and stands back up, giving an affectionate kiss atop her head.]
