(no subject)

There's a small, red-headed princess on her knees in a booth in the middle of the bar. There are little animal toys all over the table, and she moves them around, humming to herself and making noises and making them have conversations with each other.

She's completely lost in her four year old world. But completely botherable.

Will's still rather wet but he's never seen a child that young in Milliways on their own before and so comes over, kneeling at her booth,

"So many types o'animals, lass, ne'er seen such variety."

His different dress probably won't mean much to her being medieval though it is rather scruffy and decidedly green.

Allana looks over at him for a moment before picking up one of the clay animals. "Dis issa banfa."

Tee-atches are seriously hard.

"Good name for it, probably bams as it walks."

He's maybe heard the name once and isn't connecting it to Revan's blue milk, also looks like a noisy beast.

She hums softly as she sets it down. "It's fwom Tatooine." She stumbles over the planet's name for a moment before getting it. "S'hot on Tatooine."

"I'm from England on Earth, tis Summer there but just rained on me. Do ye 'ave trees on Tatooine to 'ide from the sun?"

She listens to him talk, head tilted to the side as she stops humming. "Nope. S'a desert. But I live on Hapes. We have lots of twees."

"That's good, trees make e'erythin' lovely. An yer parents arena worried 'bout ye comin' 'ere?"

Since she is rather young though at that age, Will was already trying to explore Nottingham before his parents caught him.

"Mama doesn't know." Allana tells him seriously, before picking up a small tauntaun toy. "An' I don't have a daddy. But it's okay."

He just nods, looking older for a moment before pulling a coin out and setting it spinning and dancing on his knuckles and through the air,

"Aye, know lots o'children yer age who dinna 'ave fathers."

She watches the coin interestedly and her eyes brighten slightly. "I have Jacen though. He watches over Mama an' me when he can."

"Aye, that's good. In me 'ome, try to make sure e'eryone's watched o'er."

The coin speeds up, going higher so it almost seems like it'll be lost in the rafters before coming back down.

She falls silent, just watching the coin, grey eyes following its every movement.

He just grins, as the he makes the coin speed up and slow down and then it dances across his knuckles, a blur of silver.

She watches it till it becomes just a blur, then her gaze drops to touch another animal figure. "Tha's cool." She murmurs.

"Thank ye, do ye wish to try?"

Then offers the silver penny if she wants to play with it, its not terribly shiny and a little bit bent.

She shakes her head. "No fank you." She just eyes the coin. "S'only cool if you can do stuffs like that."

Will just grins and blushes a little at that, "Only know 'ow to do this cause I'm a thief in me 'ome."

Then gets the coin going this time adding in another one, that's gold this time.

"You don't seem like a bad man." Allana murmurs, eying his coins before moving another animal to another.

"Try na to be, but me family's ne'er 'ad a lot, so stole to 'elp out."

The gold one dissapears as he watches her playing with the animals.

She makes a snuffling noise at the animals before glancing up at him again. "If..." She begins, trying to get her thoughts together. The subject is complex enough for her that she needs to think for a moment about it.

"If it's for your famiwy, I fink it's okay."

"'ope so, just tryin' to 'elp. Me name's Will, lass."

And gives her a small bow and a quieter smile, he doesn't know much about her, but its important to him that he's doing the right thing.

"I'm Allana." She smiles softly. "Pweased to meet you!"

"Pleasure to meet ye, Allana,"

He returns the smile with a bigger one this time and a more complicated bow.

She bows her head regally, and if she'd been standing there would have been a curtsie.

The regal is noticed and he smiles back, "Ye 'ungry, Allana?"

She thinks for a moment then shakes her head. "I shouldn't eat. If I go home and I'm not hungwy, Mama will wonder why."

"Aye, sounds like a good plan, dinna wish to get ye in trouble with yer mother."

"Won' get in twouble." Allana murmurs. "She'll jus' ask questions."

Questions that are hard!

"Aye, questions can be tricky, 'specially from mothers, they tend to worry a lot."

Usually with good reason, but that's beside the point.

"An' Mama has lots to worry about." Allana agrees.

"What does yer mother do that she worries so?"

Will knows why his mother worries, having a son who's a wanted outlaw tends to do that.

"She's the Queen Mother of sixty-free pwanets." Allana murmurs, fiddling with an animal.

He just blinks a lot at that since that's rather impressive and she probably wouldn't be too happy with her daughter playing with an outlaw, "Aye."

Allana shrugs. "She used to be a Yedi Knight, but she chose her people and fwone."

And Allana.

"Aye, well she must be an 'mazin' woman then to 'ave such a lovely daughter as yerself."

Allana blushes slightly and ducks her head. "Fank you."

The blush actually relaxes Will and he just grins back, "Ye're welcome."

She hums again idly, playing with her little animals, before picking one up and handing it to him. And smiling.

He takes it and kneels down to be on her level and moves it along with the other animals.

She plays back with him, smiling softly.
