[ holding out a hand ]

Come with me, then.

[tookhishand]

[oh, he's got this. taking your hand without any discomfort!]

[powerisyours]

[ fantastic he's leading you back to boys' 13. don't mind the excited puppy when he opens a bedroom door ]

You can rest here.

[tookhishand]

[what is that thing??]

What?

[powerisyours]

[ it is a puppy. and she is slowly coming up to investigate you with a little twitchy nose and waggy tail ]

It is quiet. No one will disturb you here. This place is scary, isn't it?

[tookhishand]

[reaching down to touch it.]

What? [is this thing :o]

[powerisyours]

[ she's licking your fingers ]

She's called Xiao Yu. She's a teacup Chihuahua.

[tookhishand]

[it feels funny.]

Chihuahua? [Also a funny word.]

[powerisyours]

[ she's just nudging at your hand with her little wet nose ]

They are a tiny breed of dog. She will not grow very large.

[tookhishand]

[doesn't know what to do... he's only ever seen a cow.]

Xiao Yu.

[powerisyours]

[ she just wants to be pet ]

Xiao Yu. She's tiny, isn't she? I think she wants you to pet her.

[ smiles ]

[tookhishand]

[looks up at you, confused.]

[powerisyours]

[ going over and kneeling down to rub a hand over puppy's head gently. her little eyes are closing happily ]

Like this.

[tookhishand]

[Awww.]

[He'll try that as soon as you're done.]

Right?

[powerisyours]

[ he's pulling back to give you a chance. because tiny ]

[ nods ] Right. She likes it.

[tookhishand]

[a little bit of petting and he stops.]

[he'd look around, but he's not sure if he's allowed...]

[powerisyours]

[ he's noticing that ]

Do you want to look at something?

[ his room's pretty boring. a bed, a small bookshelf, and a place to keep his clothing ]

[tookhishand]

[He doesn't know what a book is. So he'll look at all your clothes!]

[powerisyours]

[ not a whole lot of them. mostly some tshirts and a couple of pairs of pants ]

If you want to touch something, that's okay, too.

[tookhishand]

[...okay, he's done that, now what?]

[powerisyours]

Are you hungry?

[tookhishand]

No.

[powerisyours]

[ does see your toy, though ]

Did you bring that with you?

[tookhishand]

[holds it up.]

Peter.

[powerisyours]

[ . . . I knew he was a nice guy. not entirely sure how kid-you knows who he is, but hey. time-traveling bald guy. ]

I know Peter. Would you like to see him?
