[HUG] Sender suddenly hugs receiver
Today’s round of hide and seek took place a little later than initially expected. Seemed Clara had arrived a full hour earlier than expected so she’d been doing some odd jobs, helping out however she could until the time for the fated hide and seek came. It came pretty quickly and in the form of Hook startling Clara as she handed someone the items they were looking for.
The first round had one of the Moles win with so much pride, Clara had been the second one found (she sneezed…). The second round had Hook win. “As the Leader of the Moles, obviously, I’d win!!” was her response. No one could argue with that even though Clara had been caught first.
This third round, she decided, she’d at least be the third one found! Now that two rounds had gone by, she had a much better understanding of the hiding places ‘round here. Her hiding spot was pretty great and gave her a decent view of her surroundings so no one could catch her by surprise!
It was the perfect plan for success! … or it had been. It had been going so so so well!! She’d stayed out of sight the few times the seeker had come around and Clara was so sure she’d at least not be first or second!
But then!! She saw Big Brother! It had been a while since she last saw him so she almost shouted to get his attention. Luckily, she stopped herself before she could get caught. Unluckily, Big Brother began walking in the opposite direction.
Clara fiddled with the sleeves of her coat… to chase after Big Brother and risk failing her mission… or to succeed but miss Big Brother…
He soon began fading away from view which meant she needed to make a decision quick!! Flustered, she looked around real quick before rushing off to catch him.
Oomph!! She crashed into him a little, wrapping her arms around him. “Big Brother!! Hi! Do you want to play hide and seek too? I think we can just make it back to my hiding spot and stay out of sight too!!”

Just another day in the universe, just another day on Jarilo Vi. It had been a while since Caelus had checked in on the museum, and he is the prime orchestrator of the establishment so of course he needs to pop in every now and then. The Nameless is really proud of it- of all the work he put into managing and collecting items for the museum to display, writing together a work plan and forming schedules and plans for different volunteers and employees to be stationed. All in all, Caelus is extremely fond of it- probably because it's one of the first things he's ever done or had that was his.. his pride and joy.
Which sounds like a silly sentiment, as that sort of talk is more reserved for a parent and their child. Speaking of children-
❛ Oof- ❜
The collision really hadn't made the silver stumble or anything of the sort, as Caelus is just Built Different with max DEF stats, but he enjoys playing it up- to put on a performance.
❛ Wow, I don't see you for a while and the first thing you do is tackle me? C'mon now, I thought we were so close. ❜
Caelus places a hand at his chest in mock-agony, even going so far as to sniffle and pretend he was either crying or on the verge of it. Though they both know he's just being silly and goofy, and the wide grin that spreads across his face shines with the pure affection and amusement he holds for the little lass attached to his waist.
❛ Oh boy.. "hide and seek", huh? I think Natasha might yell at me if I do. Last time I played, I got myself in trouble with the good doctor.. and Sampo. ❜
Caelus snorts at the reminder of the time he had gotten so into playing the game with the Moles that one time, that Caelus had forgone any sort of nourishment for hours as he was committed. Only to then pass out in his random hiding spot, thankfully found by the blue haired man and brought to Natasha. Which, she then scolded him for as Sampo brought him in to see her when Caelus was "at death's door". So he can kind of understand the concern- really, he does.
Even so, Caelus pats at the girl's head ever so gently ( control your strength, restrain yourself, don't hurt her- ) as he huffs under his breath- a sound akin to a laugh.
❛ Thank you for the invitation, but I'm afraid I will have to decline this round. I have to go check on something first. Besides, I wouldn't want to pull you away from making friends. ❜
A pause, seemingly pondering over a thought for a few moments.
❛ How about this: once I get finished, I'll come back and join in if the game is still going- and if not, then we will simply hang out. Sound like a deal? ❜
