Bonding!
RP log! Kinnison and Pathfinder spend some time together.
Path: Pat onna head?
Kinnison: *grins* *pats him on the head* Hello, cub!
Path: Uncle Kinni~
Kinnison: Are you having a fun time?
Path: Yes! I like staying here. When Father goes running for work.
Kinnison: Hugo's a lot of fun, isn't he?
Path: *chews thumb*
Path: *he makes a hmming noise as if he's not quite sure*
Kinnison: Didn't you have fun in the snow with him?
Path: *nods*
Path: Hugo is...Hugo.
Path: Stallion is Father. *stubborn*
Kinnison: *pats his hair* You know, I bet Hugo knows that. Stallion is your father, and I don't think they'd mind if you didn't call Hugo "Father".
Kinnison: Hugo wants you to be really happy.
Path: He does?
Kinnison: Yeah! Even before he saw you.
Path: *tries to work that out and fails* No. I not there!
Kinnison: Well... no, but your father wrote to him and told Hugo you were coming. He was happy.
Path: Onna paper?
Kinnison: *nods* Yes.
Path: *scratches his head over that one*
Path: Uncle Kinni? Did you like me too?
Kinnison: I like you lots and lots.
Path: : D *he can believe that! Uncle Kinni is kind and makes frogs and lets him play with Shiro*
Path: I wanna be with Father allllll the time. But...he gots to run.
Kinnison: He wants to be with you, too. But, adults have to work.
Path: *nods; he understands that concept. Still.*
Path: Father loves me lots! Is good. But...he likes Hugo too.
Kinnison: Yes, but he likes Hugo in a different way.
Path: *he's taking some heart because Uncle Kinni is actually listening to him* But I love Father lots and lots!
Kinnison: *nods his head* He loves you too. But, he has a lot of love to give to people.
Path: *now he's getting frustrated a little cranky because he knows something and has no idea how to express it in common* No.
Kinnison: You don't think so? That's okay, tree frog, you tell me. Tell me what you think. *sits down on the ground*
Path: Only one person. You love. Mommy said.
Kinnison: She did, did she? *hmm... how to say it* Maybe your mommy was confused.
Kinnison: Because I love Watari, very much, but I love other people too.
Path: *blink* Who is...wa...ta...ri?
Kinnison: My lifemate.
Path: Oh. Like Father and Hugo?
Path: But Uncle Kinni, my mom said it. One person. My mom!
Kinnison: Well, your mommy must have been pretty sure about that, huh?
Path: *nodnod* She said it. She said this much love for grown ups *holds his hand apart big*
Path: This much for me. *holds his hands really close together*
Kinnison: Oh, well see, things work differently here.
Kinnison: Here, Path gets this much love, *lightly pushes Path's hands as far apart as he can.* Because Stallion, Hugo, and Kinni love Path very much.
Path: You do! *astonished*
Kinnison: I do! Lots and lots.
Path: Eeeeeeeee! *this makes Path happy!*
Path: *so he does a little dance around Kinnison*
Kinnison: *grins and laughs, watching him*
Path: Uncle Kinni, Father said, he loved me. Bigger than sky!
Kinnison: He's right, he does. And nothing will ever change that.
Path: Pat onna head? *hopeful*
Kinnison: Always! *pats his head*
Path: Heee.
Kinnison: You are a very good Path.
Path: *waves his little arms around excitedly*
Path: Uncle Kinni?
Path: Down please. You tall.
Kinnison: *grins, sitting back down on the ground, cross legged* There. Better?
Path: Yes. *he leans forward until his forehead touches Kinnison's* Love. *but his little voice makes it sound like "Luff"*
Kinnison: *smiles brilliantly* Love. *touching his forehead still*
Path: *he finally gives Kinnison a nice hug too because Uncle Kinni is a good safe person to give hugs to*
Kinnison: *surprised!! but hugs him back carefully* Thank you.
Path: Can Shiro play?
Kinnison: Sure! Let me call him. *making a shrill whistle noise*
Path: *like a child will, doesn't attach monumental importance to the moment as it's now playtime with Shiro*
Shiro: *comes bounding in, panting and sniffing Path rapidly, tail high in the air*
Path: Yay Shiro! *pats the wolf carefully on the head*
