[ baby steps ]

I will look for Peter soon, okay? Until then, my home is your home. Please do whatever you wish.

[ doesn't really want to up and leave the tiny all by himself. puppy is nuzzling your hand, though ]

[tookhishand]

[He won't be any trouble!]

[Nodding and looking at the puppy again.]

[powerisyours]

[ less worried about trouble and more worried about ohgod strange people everywhere ]

[ puppy is very happy and sitting down and watching you ]

Just tell me if you want or need anything, okay? Big brother will help you.

[tookhishand]

[He'll probably hide in the closet or under the bed.]

[With the puppy and the toy.]

Big brother?

[powerisyours]

[ no hidings do want you comfortable ]

I am big brother.

[tookhishand]

[That is a lie. He points!]

Jiu Wu.

[powerisyours]

[ laughs ]

Yes. I am Jiu Wu. But I'm older than you, see? So I am also big brother.

[ physically older, at least. he's not sure how this works. ]

[tookhishand]

What is big brother?

[powerisyours]

Big brothers are people who will take care of you and be your friend. Unless they're girls, in which case they would be big sisters.

[tookhishand]

[Oh. Nodding.]

[powerisyours]

Sometimes, but not always, they have the same mother and father, too. This is my little brother from home. He is called Jiu Lai.

[ he's pulling a picture out of his pocket and showing. this icon ]

[tookhishand]

[...touches the other person.]

[powerisyours]

It's not really him, though. It is just a picture. He is still home.

[tookhishand]

[everything is so weird.]

[staring really closely at it.]

[powerisyours]

Do you have a question?

[tookhishand]

[...shakes his head.]

[he has more questions than words.]

[powerisyours]

Do you want to know more?

[tookhishand]

Yes.

[powerisyours]

About what? You can point if you're not sure how to say it.

[tookhishand]

[points at the bookshelf.]

[powerisyours]

You want to look at the shelf?

[tookhishand]

What is shelf?

[powerisyours]

That thing. People use it to hold books and other items.

[tookhishand]

[touches a book.]

Books?

[powerisyours]

They're written stories. Sometimes the stories are real, and sometimes they're not.
