392 - Kite Mingle

[If you're outside today it will be hard to miss all the whimsical, high-flying kites. Might as well get some of your own or spend some time getting them out of trees.]

[That is a very beautiful kite there older kid. Mika's mouth actually drops open when Yoon explains that he built it.]

You built it? How did you do that? [Obviously someone made all the kites out here today but he always thought they were made in factories so they could be sold in stores. Not that someone could make one like this. So he is definitely staring up in awe at Yoon.

And he might be... more interested in building a kite himself than flying the one Yoon made.]

[Why thank you, younger kid!

He hadn't expected a reaction quite like that! But... he definitely can't help beaming, a look of pure satisfaction appearing on his face for a moment.] I just followed the instructions in this book!

[He's pulling said book out of his bag. It's a very colorful hardback that has a rather... attention-grabbing title that makes it clear what's inside: "The Ultimate Guide to Building Kites"

Yoon holds it out for the younger boy, giving him a chance to look through it if he wants. Whether he takes it or not, he's going to continue talking. Something about this kid has him wanting to... maybe act like an older brother, of sorts. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the kid is stuck in this place. Or maybe it's as simple as the kid being younger than him. He'd gotten so used to having to take care of people who were actually older than him, this is... kind of refreshing.] I could tell you how to make it... but it might be better if you built one on your own. I can let you borrow the book, or I could just show you -- I've already memorized the steps.

[It's very impressive! The best Mika could ever hope to learn on his own is make a diamond-shaped kite. Even with a book.

So the fact that this older kid built a kite so unique from the instructions in a book are pretty great by Mika's standards. He does take the book and opens it, looking at the instructions. Well, more like determining if he could actually read it to the point that he could make his own kite.]

Can you show me? If I try to read it and make it on my own, it'll take a while and the breeze might be gone by the time I'm done.
