@mjm56 said : majima's hunched over the ufo catcher machine, lone eye peering with desire at the little stuffed bird perched on the chrome floor of it's game's cage. however, taking note of how quickly the girl beside him had obtained her prize, he merely gawks. "how in the world did ya' get that first try, kid?"
one could think she was the HAPPIEST little girl in existence , the way she jumps & laughs in excitement when the toy drops down in the prize box . she’s quick to grab it , holding the little blue axolotl TIGHTLY against her chest . & she’s almost as quick to run out with it , give it to her father standing right outside the door , if a deep voice hadn’t stopped her right in her tracks . so she’ll look up at him , brown eyes wide & curious , before giving him a grin . a BIG grin , that’s ever so MISCHEVIOUS in nature .
❝ what , ya havin’ a hard time or somethin’ , mister ? ❞ she asks , looking to his eye patch . she thinks to make a joke about his depth perception , & it ATTRIBUTING to his hard time in catching the prize her wants so much . ill-natured , probably would end her up in trouble .
but she thinks again when her eyes flick back to his good eye . something about it DISCOURAGES her , tells her maybe making his day worse with a joke like that isn’t worth it in the end . so she’ll let her grin shrink , becoming something more genuine , before she moves herself closer to the stick on his side of the machine .
❝ want me to help ya out ? ❞
