"I'm not sure what I'd do with it."

"I mostly bother one of the wizards or witches to enchant it to run around and then I chase it around but I guess that's the sort of thing that grownups wouldn't find very interesting. Sometimes interesting things have happened though, one of the murderdemons came through and I got to meet him! He didn't say his name so I peeked at the circle."

"Mingling, we haven't caught Kib up on how everything here is going yet because he's got a lot to process already."

"Oh, okay. I don't know what to show him other than the car - unless the surprise present is ready, Timothy, is the surprise present ready?"

"No and you could've easily osanwëd that."

"...surprise present?"

"The contents can continue to be a surprise even if the existence of a surprise is now not a surprise!"

"But who is it a surprise for?"

"Mostly Cam because Timothy likes him but everyone will like it."

"Would you like a dragon more than a car, they can also enchant little dragons to fly around. There are a bunch of them and no one has named them at all yet."

"...still not sure what I'd do with it."

"Stop it from breathing fire on things that shouldn't be on fire? ...that's not a very good argument, is it."

Snort.

"Most sad people are happier if you give them presents but I don't know what good presents for grownups are I guess. Except Timothy's surprise present but I can't get you that even if Timothy weren't already getting it for Cam."

"I'm not really in present-appreciating condition."

"I'm sorry. Are you in hugging condition?"

"All right."

It takes some doing for him to get up on the couch.

- Kib almost helps him but ultimately doesn't.

When hugged he hugs back.

Hug. "When I met Cam he was so so scared and sad but now he's not very scared and sad so maybe that will happen to you also."

"I don't know what his backstory is but it's probably different."

"All the mes except Timothy had pretty much the same lives at the start but all the yous are different," he nods. "But still lots and lots of magic and problems to solve and power to solve them helps."

...hug again?
