[ they look up to him again — expression notably softened . . .
and they choose to hold onto his sleeve . deciding to keep close since he did after all help them stay safe at one point . ]
ᅟ
゛*͟y’know, yer real cute, boy.
especially when that sour look
ain’t wrinkling the baby face ya
got.
( the man brought his hand
down to ruffle one of Dear’s
ponytails, relaxed eyes as if
feeling lightened up himself. )
ᅟ
[ woah — so big . . . once tiny hand is enveloped by his , they wait patiently , albeit with a tiny bit of frustration .
however , that all melts away once they're given the little piece of candy . taking it and unwrapping it — pacifier popped out to eat it . ++
ᅟ
sharp tools I carry. ゛
( instead he’d reach into his
pocket and pulls out a neatly
wrapped chocolate, bending
his knees as he gave it to
Dear as close to eye level as
he could physically be given
his enormous stature.. )
ᅟ
[ even despite that possible nod towards the fact that they shouldn't take candy from a stranger , they're still looking !
reaching into pockets — caring not for personal space . ]
ᅟ
ᅟ ゛*͟oh .ᐣ it’s treats ya want, huh .ᐣ
’nd here I thought yer daddy,
Bro, would’ve taught ya not to
take candy from strangers.
( he chortled at both his
own notion and the little
boy’s cute mannerisms. )
ᅟ
there's almost a little sparkle in their eyes — brimming with excitement at the prospect of being able to have more candy .
they're pretty easy to work with when confectionaries are involved .
exactly.
to some it might be,for yaga it feels logical.
he chuckles as the kid bounces in his arms,adjusting then so they’re better propped against his hip.
— you’ll be able to get all the candy you want.
ᅟ
( he shrugs, caring little of
not needing to let the child
beat him out of weird debt
he felt he owes to him and
bro. )
゛*͟relax, kid——- figured you’d
lighten up if I let ya get in a
few punches but I guess not.
ᅟ
[ another grumble and a somewhat judgemental look on their face ; unimpressed that he'd been so desperate to fight a child .
makes them even more annoyed ! and it shows ,, ]
ᅟ
゛*͟don’t wanna me fight anymore .ᐣ
what a shame. I would’ve liked
to really see what yer capable of,
oh well.
( his gaze relaxes and closed
shut, exhaling softly as he’d
fix hat. disappointed by the
anticlimactic outcome. )
ᅟ
[ there's a momentary pause — and then a shake of their head . dropping hand back to their side and averting their gaze .
they know bro wouldn't be happy if they tried to fight someone . ]
ᅟ
( he stares blankly. concealing
just how adorable he found
the little giver’s expression
currently. and so his one,
real hand raises in defeat.)
゛*͟alright, alright- have it yer
way—- you can attack me if
it’ll make ya feel better.
ᅟ
[ with that , dear takes a few steps closer , and lands one . . . very soft punch against his abdomen .
and then looks up at him through thick lashes . mischievous . ]
ᅟ
( he stares blankly. concealing
just how adorable he found
the little giver’s expression
currently. and so his one,
real hand raises in defeat.)
゛*͟alright, alright- have it yer
way—- you can attack me if

ᅟ
[ around their pacifier they grumble at him ; glare still ever present on their little face while they cross their arms defiantly over their chest .
like an agitated kitten all puffed up . ]
ᅟ
( the elder’s eyebrow cocks
whilst he tilts his head ever
slightly, a light sigh afterwards. )
゛*͟I get that yer still mad over last
time, but ya don’t gotta keep on
mean muggin’ me. you’ll wrinkle
yer face quicker.
