spin_kick_snap: Jo Eun Hyung as Weetiny Kathy Li (zzzWeetiny: Quirky Smile)
[personal profile] spin_kick_snap
After a big day outside - playgrounds! puppies! snow! - Katherine had come back to the place where she'd woken up and had promptly fallen asleep, all tuckered out by her adventures. Now she was awake again and hungry. The only cereal in the house was a sugar cereal, which she wasn't supposed to have and she wasn't allowed to use the stove without adult supervision.

But there didn't seem to be an adult in the whole house! Just her. That was funny. Who had a house with nobody in it?

She took a shower in the pretty bathroom and got dressed, figuring maybe she could find somewhere to eat. And another funny thing - she found a twenty dollar bill tucked away in the exact place she hid money back home: hidden in a pencil box in the top drawer of the desk. She painstakingly wrote out an IOU and put it there, and then sat down to plan her day.

First, breakfast. Then...puppies again, maybe?

"No grown-ups at all?" Eliot asked, being sure to look concerned but not overly so -- he didn't want her thinking she was in trouble, but she wouldn't buy it if he was a grown up who wasn't worried about an unsupervised child in one of his buildings. "But there's all sorts of things only grown ups are supposed to do."

Like make sure kids get fed. However this worked out, he'd be making sure she got a kimchi omelette. Preferably they'd have breakfast together, but he'd be just fine leaving it for her at the door and going away, if she didn't feel safe.

"Well now. I can definitely do breakfast, if you want," Eliot said. "We can go on down to the diner, and set you up with anything you want. Or if you'd rather stay up here, I can bring something up for you."

He wasn't going to jump straight to "let me come in and cook in here". He'd spent far too much of his life as the Bad Man to want any small child to trust him that much after just meeting him.

"Now why would I offer if it was going to be too much trouble?" Eliot asked, and offered her his hand. "C'mon. We got some nice kimchi I'm guessin' you're going to love."

"Sure do," Eliot said. "I might be white, but my daughter's as Korean as they come. I think she'd probably disown me if I didn't have at least some on hand. You know, for emergencies."

"She grew up in LA, actually," Eliot said. "But we met here on the island."

"Oh yeah?" Eliot asked. "Is it nice there?"

"Nah, see, I think kids should be allowed to be loud, sometimes," Eliot said, shaking his head. "And your neighbors should just deal with it."

He was such a good role model.

Eliot waited patiently, eyebrows raised, and held the door to the diner open for her.

"I can see where that might be true sometimes," Eliot said. "But if they always have a headache, that sounds like more of a problem for a doctor to fix than a kid."

Oh honey.

"Yeah?" Eliot said, years of experience masking allowing him to sound casually interested even while inside he wanted to just gather her up in a big hug and never let go. "I bet you'll be a really good one, too."

"Wow." Eliot nodded, actually impressed. Most kids wouldn't think of antiseptics, after all. "All by yourself?"
