[He only smiles and bends down at the knees, barely eye-level with Natsuno. A little more five-year-old then he thought, eh?]

Mm-hmm. Cute, for a kid who could easily be carried away by a stray wind.

[reluctantjinrou]

It's not my fault I was a small kid. I blame my parents for that.

[Genetics, clearly.]

[kingkilvas]

At the risk of sounding incredibly obvious, every child is small. You just haven't been used to it in a long while.

[reluctantjinrou]

Yeah, I know but I've always been smaller than everyone else.

[He waves his hand a bit. Seriously, it's annoying.]

I'm not that tall when I grow up either.

[kingkilvas]

Finding a step-ladder is still on the table. [he's...he's trying to help?]

Or, you seem to like sitting in the crow's nest. You could go up there and look down on everyone else. Pretend you're not currently bite-sized.

[five-year-olds like pretending, right]

[reluctantjinrou]

[He's not really five Naesala. He just rolls his eyes and sighs a little.]

I tried to climb up there, it was pretty tiring. I was trying to get away from Selphie. She was trying to cuddle me!

[He huffs a bit. Personal space, man.]

She caught me though.

[kingkilvas]

[The giggling earlier caught him off-guard and he's not ruling out momentary lapses in the mental state.]

Yes, some of us are taking to this curse a bit...better than others, apparently. But you did want to get up there, right?

How about this. You can either continue moping about on deck, bemoaning your current stature; or allow me to fly you up there. Free from overzealous babysitters and tiresome climbing.

[reluctantjinrou]

[About that, never mention that again Naesala.]

While I don't mind moping around, I would rather prefer the crow's nest. Just don't tell Selphie I'm up there.

[kingkilvas]

Don't worry. I'm in no mood for cutsey baby-talk, either.

[If Naesala's going to fly him up there, though...Natsuno didn't want to be carried. So, he gently grabs Natsuno by the back of his clothes, lifting him up off the ground.]

Impersonal enough?

[reluctantjinrou]

Aaah! [He flails a little at first, surprised when he's just hauled up by his clothes. He stops struggling though and turns back, glancing at him.]

Yeah, it's okay I guess. A little uncomfortable.

[Making fun of him, aren't you Naesala?]

[kingkilvas]

[Who, him? Make fun? Noo, of course not. Never!]

[Probably.] Only momentarily. I could have just picked you up like a toddler, you know.

[He flies up, slower than usual as to not jostle Natsuno too much, and wastes no time in carefully setting him down in the crow's nest. You know, so he's not dangling a small child from the mast.]

[reluctantjinrou]

[Oh he's pretty sure Naesala is making fun of him.]

It would have been fine for a moment. Thank you though.

[He gives him a little smile. It might look strange if he was dangling a child from the mast.]

[kingkilvas]

Don't mention it. [Naesala remains hovering aside the nest, and gives a smile of his own. And pats him briefly on the head.

Yeah, you can pretty much tell he's making fun at this point.

He assumes Natsuno wants to be left alone, though, so] I'm going to perch above the sails and keep a general eye out. Maybe circle around a bit. If you'd like to come down, give me a holler. I don't trust your stubby fledgling limbs to make it down on your own.

[reluctantjinrou]

[The head pat gets a deep little pout out of Natsuno.]

I could go down myself!

[kingkilvas]

Having your mental state unchanged won't necessarily make your body cooperate.

You're up very high for someone with such short legs.

[reluctantjinrou]

Alright, alright, I'll call you when I'm done.

[kingkilvas]

Good. Enjoy the solitary peace while you can.
