"Ma?"

He walks in, blinking around, a little confused. A small enough child, lame leg trailing behind him as he turns his head this way and that, obviously looking for someone. The cane in his hands is clutched tightly.

"Ma? Ma? Mister Stroker sir? Ma?"

He's starting to think this isn't home.

*Polly nods*

Yeah, it is. It'll still be meat no matter how long you stare, Po.

*Polly giggles*

"And you got it for me to eat? I'll never be able to pay that off!"

Meat's cheap here, don't worry about it. Besides I pay well. Don't worry about it just eat.

He blinks and nods and like the child he is, pops himself onto the seat and starts wolfing it down. His eyes are closed with bliss as this is the best meal he's had for ages.

"Mimf if meerymerry gommf."*
*"this is very very good."

*Polly grins and watches him eat. He is adorable.*

Good, i am glad to hear that.

"Mrwordat?"*
*"You heard that?"

Sorta, my little sister talks with her mouth full all the time.

*she grins*

"Muu motta mismter?"*
*you've got a sister?

Yeah, her name is Maggie. But she doesn't live here.

He swallows.

"Oh. I don't have any siblings. It's just me and Ma and Astel and Mister Stroker and the others."

Well, you have a lot of people though. All I had was Mom and Dad and Maggie.

He blinks.

"I don't have them. They're just there."

Oh,okay.

He nods and continues to eat.

*she continues to watch him to eat*

You need anything else, Po?

He shakes his head, still food in his mouth.

"Mno. Mank oo."

Okay, you're welcome. You are a very polite boy, Po.You are very sweet.

*Polly smiles*

He gives her a Look. The Look reads, very plainly: "who exactly are you talking to cause it sure as hell isn't me."

*Polly laughs*

You act a lot nice than some little boys I've met.

"You haven't met Tacit."

Who's Tacit? Is he a friend of yours?

He nods.

"I guess."

Well, okay, that makes sense.

*Polly grins*

Now what do you wanna do?

He shrugs.

"I dunno. You don't have to entertain me. I should probably start on that work you were talking about. I don't care what you say, I'm sure that the meat was expensive and no matter how well you pay, I need to get it done."

* she was sorta bluffing she had no ideas on the jobs to have him do*

I hadn't decided what have you do yet. i figured you'd wanna look around and stuff. Really I can afford buying you a little food. You can pay me back whenever you can.
