"If the moon is full, we can play longer." If they aren't tired by then, that is. Nightfall is a compromise she can get on board with and it's clear by her attempt to extend this playdate that she's looking forward to it continuing on. Not for hundreds of years, but maybe like 9PM. They may not have another opportunity to play for awhile, if not ever. They haven't even begun and she doesn't want it to end. They don't have to worry about this stray needing a cue to follow them, as she trails a few feet behind Taako. Though the unexpected offer of a meal afterwards throws her minimally planned day through a loop and it kind of sounds like, just now, they maybe-

offered her a place to stay.

She plays the words around in her head again. And again. And a third time for good measure. It's easy for her to misunderstand people and it feels like this is one of those times. She quietly repeats the words aloud to herself-stick with us to see if hearing them again helps clarify anything. Nope. Sure doesn't. Because it would be too good to be true, that someone other than Seto would offer their company or would accept having her around. Drifter felt like an exception on her arrival and to hear it again, from these two, is surprising. And makes her feel like there's something she's missing all the more.

She doesn't know how to ask her next question, so she relies on the age old method of fumbling until it works. "You'll let me," A pause. "Be with you? To learn family things?"
