Roy's Favorite TV Show Is Now Special Agent Oso (redarrows) wrote in newalliance,
There wasn't that much space between Lian and Dinah when Roy let go of Lian's hand. It was a stupid parent-fear he guessed, the idea that by letting go of her hand for two second she'd somehow dart off the sidewalk and into traffic. Also the short distance between them and Dinah meant it was less likely that Lian would pick up a lot of speed in her race to get to Dinah.
Lian grasped a hold of the offered hand after the hug and the kiss, and gave a nod of her head. She as very excited - so excited she had lost her words for a few moments. This was serious Big Kid stuff she was going to possibly learn!
"Hey," Rot returned the hug and the smile. "Were good, work was work." He gave a shrug, it didn't fill him with joy his job, and lately it just made him feel cranky. "How are you? Hey-" he directed his attention to Lian. " Mittens stay on your hands until we get inside." He moved over to the door to the building, pulling it open, so the others could head on in.
