[Her head shoots up at the voice, and almost immediately she wiping her eyes with her arm. Trying to hide them.

Still sniffling she blinks up at the teenager standing in front of her. Eyes unmistakably red.]

H-Hi.

[That might not be the answer he wanted, but she's not sure what else to say.]

[wordtechgodhood]

[Dave looks down at her for another moment. He can't very well leave now. Well, he could, but that'd make him one hell of an asshole and he's not really feeling those vibes today.

Besides, she's done nothing to bring that on herself.]

What are you cryin' for?

[serenesuccessor]

[That might not have been a good question to ask because her face crumples, an semblance of composure going up in smoke. The tears are back, slipping down her cheeks as she tries wiping them away - because she knows other campers think she's a crybaby. She doesn't want anyone to think that but!]

I-I wanna go home! I mis-miss my bi-big brother an-an-and Mom and D-Dad!

[Sorry Dave, you're stuck with a crying little girl for a bit longer.]

[wordtechgodhood]

[Oops.

His fists clench and unclench by his sides, then he crouches down by her, pulling a tissue from his pocket and holding it out. Time shenanigans, anyone?]

Always wondered why there weren't more sad kids in this place. People take it too easily, y'know? Fuckin' Stepford-esque if you ask me.

[serenesuccessor]

[She keeps wiping at her eyes, futilely, until she notices the tissue. With a mumbled 'thank you' she accepts it, blowing her nose.]

Peo-People keep telling me i-it's only for the sum-m-mer but I don't care. I wanna go home...

[Granted she's only been here for a few weeks but in Naomi's mind that hardly matters.]

[wordtechgodhood]

At least you ain't stuck here, right?

[He shifts, planting himself on the ground. Looks like he's in this for the long haul. Well, serves him right for being such a hopeless knight in shining armour.]

You get to go home, even if it ain't right now. I know, it's shit, most of us don't want to be here but that's how it goes. You take the good with the bad, make the best of it. Somethin' like that.

[Really, Dave? You're just talking out of your ass.]

[serenesuccessor]

[Her eyes widen, voice a little bit shrill.]

I could get stuck here!?

[wordtechgodhood]

[Hrk.]

Yo, lower the pitch an octave before you rupture half the camp's eardrums.

[He rubs one of his ears as if for emphasis.]

You got a home to go back to, right?

[serenesuccessor]

[She flushed, clapping her hands over her mouth. To his question she nodded, not wanting to risk high octaves again by accident.

[wordtechgodhood]

... Then you're probably fine. You miss your folks now, but you'll go back to 'em. It'll be done before you know it.

[serenesuccessor]

[Behind her hands she frowns. She doubts it will be done before she knows it but...

She holds out her pinky to him. Pinky promise Dave?]
