I like to think so. [ she says at first, then playfully thumps herself at the side of her temple. ] Aw, looky at me! Over here steady flappin' and I didn't even introduce myself.

My name is Rogue. What's yours, Doodlebug?

I-I'm Levi. What's a doodlebug?

They're just cute lil' fellas that crawl and roll around in the grass and dirt. Pretty harmless.

But it's nice to meetcha, Levi. Want me to get ya somethin' to drink? I got some orange and apple juice in the cooler. .

Oh...okay.

[What? Why is she calling him a bug? She's so confusing, but he gets distracted by the offer of a drink. Juices were okay, but...]

D-do you have soda?

A Coke I wasn't able to find, but how about we split down the middle for grape? It's both juice and can be a soda.

[ or maybe there is coca-cola products here in this city, but she hadn't explored well enough to know where the citizens are keeping them. but hopefully her little friend will steady for something that's a tad bit more healthy than a carbonated soft drink. ]

But I want a soda.

[Says the child who's food and drink intake is normally very controlled.]

[ so this is what it feels like to have a child. still, her smile doesn't waver as she rests her cheek against her palm. ]

I know, Darlin'. How about we make that soda a treat, huh? Your lil' dessert for eatin' and drinking all the good stuff? You wanna be big and strong when ya get older, dontcha?

[He considers for a moment.]

But I can have one later, right? Then I guess juice is fine.

Ya darn right you can. — In fact, I'll let ya have another for dinner if ya don't got a place to stay for the night. I could use a brave boy like you around.

[ it's a bit of fib, of course. she doesn't need a child to assist her with anything, but given the physical appearance of levi's figure, he is obviously a orphan with no one to look after him. and rogue's conscience will damn her for life if she just allowed the little tyke to eat and run off by himself. ]

[Oh boy two sodas?!]

Okay!

U-uh....n-no I guess not. I'm not really sure where we are.

Well, do you wanna stay with me then? That is, if I passed the test of being a cool gal for ya.

Um...

[She was really nice, but he knows he shouldn't trust strangers. He's not supposed to talk to them at all, but she talked to him first. And he doesn't really have anywhere to stay...]

M-maybe. If I don't find the orphanage here.

[...actually he'd probably rather stay with the nice stranger.]

[ it breaks her heart hearing this, but she doesn't let her smile waver or falter in the slightest. ]

Alright, after you eat, we'll go see if we can find one together. I bet there's loads of kids just waitin' to be your friend too.

No-no I mean...

[He trails off. He meant the orphanage he lived at, but maybe another would be better? Though it could be worse too. He only had experience with the one, after all.]

...never mind. E-either works.

[Finding an orphanage or staying with her, that is.]

Then it's a deal! Now eat up, Darling, I'm fixin' to get some tin foil to wrap some of these extra dishes up.

[ she grants the boy yet another warming smile before raises up to her feet, casually making her way to the buffet table to cover up the extras. ]

Okay!

[He starts on the cupcake, then the rest of his plate.]

[ he is such a cute kid, and it saddens her how children like him end up abandoned or in the system.

yet at least, if anything, if he has to think back on his day kater, he can say this was the nice part of it. but in time, rogue manages to seal all the food and then makes her way back to levi, grinning. ]

I'll have to remember the recipe for the next time I cook. Since you enjoyed this a lot.

[Levi has long since finished the cupcake when she returns. He nods.]

It was really good!

[His voice drops at the end of that sentence and after a blink he glitches back into normal 19 year old Levi.]

U-uh...

[And he has no idea what to say. Give him a moment to catch up.]

[ well, that was something she didn't expect to see happen. although, she should have expected the glitches would happen to the people here too, and not just the town. ]

Now that's what I call one helluva grow spurt.

I, uh...y-yeah.

[Okay, he can't really be blamed for not knowing how to deal with this, right? This wasn't a thing that happened...in most places.]

Um. T-thanks for being so nice to me.

Why, of course, Sugah. I'd be a madwoman for being ugly to a tyke like you. But now that you're back to normal, I guess you don't need to crash at my place.

N-no, I don't. But, um, I can help you take the food back if you want?

[Assuming she's okay letting a strange man know where she lives.]

Well, if ya do that for me, that'll make you sweeter than a sweet potato.

[ she cocks her attention back over to the display of food when she peeks over her shoulder. ]

I really did done it with the food and all, and doin' it alone might take me a couple of trips.

W-well, its the least I could do after you fed me.

[He chuckles a bit.]

Yeah, you must be used to cooking for a whooole lot of people.

[ she chuckles again, and stands on her toes as she takes flight then hovers to the buffet table to stack the dishes. ]

They're all a buncha hungry, hungry, hippos. But I don't mind it in the slightest. If I can get my folks grinnin' like a possum eatin' a custard, why, that'll be enough to make my heart sing.
