She took it in her small hand, now she doubted she could carry anymore things. She was carrying a stuffed animal, a fruit, and a piece of candy. She looked up at him, a small smile on her face. "Okay?" She said. She was to satisfied to really care about his warning.

Once she had what she wanted in hand he began back to his truck, thinking though of what all he would be doing for the day. No tasks, no organizing. He loathed being not put to a job of some sort, however Nausicaä was quite the task at hand, but even so, he was accustomed to doing things more extreme.

Nausicaä followed behind Ulysses back to his truck. She'd eat her little fruit in the car when she had better use of both of her hands.

Ocasionally she would look up at Ulysses, then look away. "Can we play a game later..?" She asked, not looking at him.

Ulysses took note to the constant glanced she was giving him as he was pulling out, but didn't think it was anything more than curiosity or for the sake of simply staring. As he recalled, children weren't the most sensible of people. The question, though, had caught him completely off guard. A game? He couldn't understand why she couldn't just eat and be satisfied for the rest of the day. It seemed as though he was thinking back on his choices far too much lately. All kids required attention. Especially when the fun aspect came into play. Fun hadn't been existent in his life since he was a child, so he supposed she'd need the same.

"What game?" he had no choice but to ask. The sooner he played, the sooner she'd be back in bed sleeping.

( I think it's so funny how Nausicaä cheerful and happy and Ulysses is like>


Nausicaä looked up at him, her head tilted awaiting a response. Her dad always played games with her, unless he was on the phone, or doing an occasional job online, or something important. "A fun game" she said. She'd show him later. It would be a surprise.

((More like .))

A fun game. Very descriptive. The mercenary couldn't count how many times he had sighed that day, but now he was adding another to that number. "And if I don't play?" he was beginning to rethink his decision about playing with her.

Nausicaa shrugged. “I'll play alone” she said looking up at him. Simple put and simply true. She would play all alone- or get him to play somehow.

She took a small bite of her fruit.

He doubted her game would be any fun if she played alone, and though he didn't know why, it bothered him at the thought.

It was silent for a long period until he complied, "Fine, I'll play."

After seconds of silence, she lost hope that he would play, and just quietly ate her breakfast. Though she did become quite happy when he said he would play. "Yay!" She said happily a smile on her lips as she looked up at him.

The mercenary could feel the eagerness of her gaze piercing into him, making him more self aware than he'd ever been. Matter of fact, he never had to worry about it before or anything relating to. His eyes flicked to her face quickly before returning to the road as he if he was trying to prevent her catching him from looking. "Stop looking at me like that," he muttered under his breath.

She obeyed and looked away. He agreed to play, so she was satisfied. She began to play with Ozball quietly. Occasionally taking a bite of her breakfast until it was halfway gone, then she stopped testing it for awhile. Her blue eyes went to her candy, she decided to east that now.

His ears weren't accustomed to the constant smacking he heard from her lips, but easily learned to tolerate the habit. He hoped the ride back was a long one, not quite ready to do... Child's play.

She quit eating to play with her stuffed animal, so now she was completely quiet. Keeping her self occupied and not disturbing Ulysses as he drove,

((Sorry for the wait, my internet had been down for quite a while.))

The right back was a quiet one and for the first time it had been an awkward one. It was shorter that what Ulysses would have liked, but he made a deal with this child and if he said he would play a game then he would. After begrudgingly taking the keys from the ignition he pushed open his door and slid out from his seat. He was leisure with his time while doing this, but knew that the longer he waited the longer he'd have to dread for the game to come.

Like every time he opened the door for Nausicaa and helped her down onto the ground, sure not to knock her little stuffed animal from her arms.

(That's okay, no problem)

Nausicaä had been sure not to disturb Ulysses while he was driving. She played until the truck/car stopped, then she watched Ulysses get out and close his door. She unbuckled herself and grabbed her things, and waited for Ulysses to help her down. She didn't wander off....yet-

After setting her down he scooted her over so she wouldn't be in the way of the door when he closed it, and began back towards the building. He began to wonder what game they would be playing. Surely, a child's game would be extremely easy for him and he knew that he would constantly be winning which would make the game tasteless in his eyes.

Nausicaä followed at his side, once again, for about the forth time lightly holding onto his pants leg.


Once they were inside the house, Nausicaä released him, and looker up at him, "close your eyes" she said.

At her request her stared back at her skeptically for a moment, but he in remembering the deal he sighed and shook his head. Despite the little rationality in this game he closed his eyes and waited for her next plan.

(-w- Ulysses is going to have fun~)


The second Ulysses had his eyes closed, "count to 10" Nausicaä said quietly, but hearable. Nausicaä ran off before Ulysses could even react aka open his eyes, A typical child's game. Hide N' Seek. In a couple places she placed the things she was holding which may or may not lead to her, and she hid in place unknown.

Of course he didn't go counting out load and instead counted internally, not too quick yet not to slow. The mercenary wasn't too familiar with these games, but he knew well of this game had seen so many times and concluded this was hide and seek. It shouldn't be too hard. All he had to do is search for the child which would be no real taste knowing that children were clumsy and made a great amount of noise.

Once opening his eyes he scanned the room for any sign of where she had went and stood still in order to hear where she was heading.
