P-pinky promise...? [ Pinky promises are practically holy to Ron, and he takes them very seriously. If someone pinky promises something to him he'll trust that promise.

He looks up at Tsukikage with tear filled eyes. ]

B-buh-but you can't e-ever go away.

[intercalaryninja]

Yes, I will. [If somehow he or Reira manage to disappear during hide and seek, he'll be very pissed off at the Fog God, more than usual. He goes to extend one of his hands so they can shake on that.]

I'll try not to be for long.

[liquidbaby]

[ Ron hooks his pinky around Tsukikage's and starts saying the pledge. ] Pinky promise pledge: If you're lying, I'll make you drink a thousand needles. Pinky promised.

[ Because the words are so ingrained in his mind by now, he doesn't stutter while saying it. ]

I gotta be b-big first, right?

[intercalaryninja]

[He's never heard of that before, but he looks at him properly and repeats the words clearly, hoping it was the right thing for him to do.] Pinky promise pledge: If you're lying, I'll make you drink a thousand needles. Pinky promised.

[He smiles and nods]

That's the plan. Stay around for as long as you need me.

[liquidbaby]

[ Ron seems satisfied with that, and goes back to hug him again after the promise has been made. Now he's really not allowed to break that promise. ]

C-can I need you lots? For a long time?

[intercalaryninja]

[He hugs him back. That's at least something he's able to do.]

If you need it, of course. Just go at your pace, alright?

[liquidbaby]

Mmm. I'm sorry for being bad.

[ He has to say it at least one more time. He knows he did a bad thing, though it had felt so right when he was doing it. ]

Um... I made posters too...

[intercalaryninja]

It's alright. Just make sure you tell me these things, alright? If the time comes and I'm ready to settle down, I'll tell you, okay?

[Posters? God damn it.]

Where did you put them up? If they're just around Bavan, I'll find them.

[liquidbaby]

O-okay.

[ He'll be more careful in the future. Why do words have to be so complicated? He doesn't get so many things and he doesn't like it. ]

Um... yeah. Uncle Yue helped me put them up.

[intercalaryninja]

[Because language is a complicated mistress. He'll learn in time. They have time now.]

Yue? I don't believe I've met him. I'll go and take them down so no one calls me and ends up disappointed.

[liquidbaby]

[ Ron barely even knows what mistress means. ]

Mmm. He helped me make new ones when the ones I made myself blew away...

[ At least the lost ones are impossible to read because his writing is so bad. ]

[intercalaryninja]

That was nice of him. Maybe next time though you can invite him over to play rather than do that sort of thing. [Let him meet him and just kindly tell him not to indulge Ron in a few things]

[liquidbaby]

You'll let him?

[ Even though he helped him do bad? He's learning more and more things about parents every day. ]

[intercalaryninja]

Of course. I'd like to talk to him and he didn't do anything wrong. He just wanted to help. There's no reason not to let him.

[liquidbaby]

But I did anything wrong. Something wrong.

[intercalaryninja]

You did do 'something' wrong. However, you didn't know it, and you meant no harm. It's alright, truly. You are forgiven Ron, and there's no reason to further dwell on it.

[liquidbaby]

You won't punish me for it?

[intercalaryninja]

No. Just promise me you won't do it again, alright?

[liquidbaby]

U-huh. I promise. [ Does he need a pinky promise? Because Ron can do that? He holds out his pinky. ]

[intercalaryninja]

[Tsukikage gives a smile and holds it out anyway. Might as well if Ron has it ready.]

[liquidbaby]

[ He waits for Tsukikage to say the rhyme. ] ...You're supposed to be the one who say it.

[intercalaryninja]

Ah... My apologies. Pinky promise pledge: If you're lying, I'll make you drink a thousand needles. Pinky promised.

[liquidbaby]

[ Ron nods, satisfied. ] There. Now if I break the promise I'll drink needles.

[intercalaryninja]

Alright... And now that's all settled, let's go get you something to eat. [He pets the boy's head. All's well that ends well.]
